SoS Guild
Anvil Rock since BETA and not gonna leave!!
This stuff belongs in PVE not WvW. If you are going to add it, add it to SPvP and see how that works out.
So true, [Hero], you guys should be embarrassed by the way you play. If it was not for your ability to hide behind all the trebs and the Cow smoke in our Keep at EBG your entire guild would be dead under inferior numbers of DragonBrand players. We are so glad you left our server. Seriously, learn to play.
Well, it sure is nice seeing the Devs (or any other employees) playing on MEGA servers (you still die If I see your little tag). Why don’t you ever play on some of the Underdogs in WvW instead of playing only on the winning server matches side Makes you wonder.
I mean it would only be fair to see what its like to get rolled by a 80 to 100 man zerg when you are the rollee and not the roller.
If I only see you in mega zergs on winning servers………………….Well enough said.
ps, Specifically did not mention what Server I’m on now, Its NOT AR as I left AR ;-( when it blew up. Sad day that was. Still would ask any Dev to join and play with a server (they know who is constantly outmanned) for 3 or 4 hours. See if they think its fun!
Dear Sirs
For the past 6 to 8 weeks we have been placed against servers that out number us at least Ten to One. If YOU (ArenaNet) think that’s fun or even fair PLEASE feel free to join those servers who are consistently outmanned on a daily bases and see if WvW is fun.
I promise you ITS NOT, Always getting facerolled, losing your keeps/towers/camps and entire maps to the other two servers IS NOT FUN and is NOT WHAT we bought the game for.
PLEASE FIX THE GAMEPLAY.
Make the game fun to play no matter what server you call home.
Is that too much to ask for?
I have played GW2 since Beta. I have completely enjoyed the game up until they started messing around with WvW. I play this game specifically for WvW, the rest of the content is just fluff that I really don’t do. (4.5 level 80 toons, one ranked over 400 with over 54K kills in WvW), so I do (did) enjoy the game. While I realize a lot of people do enjoy it (pve) a lot of die hard WvW players don’t.
First, ArenaNet needs to realize that NO one enjoys being dominated completely by an opposing team let alone by 2 opposing teams. That being said I find it completely crazy that you can not find a way to balance the game either through MAP limits on population for all teams involved, or by controlling what servers play against each other.
Second, Being beat down and facerolled once in a while is actually good, it makes you wonder what you did wrong as a server/team/guild and kitten what can we do differently to change that result. But………..being beat down and face rolled week after week after week will and continue to destroy the game.
Third, As has happened to other MMO games I and others have played and left, being consistently beaten down in a game will indeed cause you to lose players. Its human nature, if you constantly lose, you either quit, or go somewhere where you have numbers, IE: Server transfers. This will (and already has) cause the game to be so far unbalanced for end game content (in regards to WvW) you are most likely going to end up with 4 to 6 Mega servers which will really make the game that much more unstable and unplayable for all players. This is already happening as I know more than one server bought and paid for complete (or selective players of guilds) server transfers, thus leaving the server they left severely depleted and thus DEMORALIZED to the point they are leaving the game. The week before Sept 20th reset my server (its not AR) lost 4 to 6 guilds, they all went to more heavily populated servers either of their own choice or through “Paid” server transfers. Fair? Is this what the developers want and expect to have happen to their game?
Not only does it leave the server undermanned, your first time pve’r that comes to try WvW is totally dominated and crushed they go WTF is this and leave to never come back to WvW. Their main comment is "This is what you guys call fun, or more than likely they turn into “chat trolls” and tell us we all are horrible players for losing so bad. Well that’s just wonderful for server moral. Telling them, but the other team has 75 players and we have 15 to 20 really does no good.
Is this what ArenaNet wants? If so please say so NOW so I can find a game where the developers don’t ruin game play.
Please remember, we paid for a game and thus had a hand in its growth and we should have a say to protect what we originally paid for. As it stands in my opinion (and in others that have LEFT the game) The developers are basically ruining a game by making changes that the game simply can not handle in terms of fairness to all and not just to benefit a “few” mega servers.
Constructive criticism is always welcome and it would be great if anyone working for ArenaNet would respond as all the recent changes are driving players from the game.
More importantly it seems ArenaNet is just not listening. Are you and more importantly do you care?
A not happy owner of GW2, a game that used to be fun to play.
When will you attempt to fix the balance issue in WvW? Be warned, people will only play your game for so long when they are constantly face rolled in WvW by servers that constantly out number you and not just on one map but all maps. This is happening more and more. I have seen it happen to other games and its starting to happen to GW2. NO ONE likes to constantly die day in and day out, week after week to servers that you really have no business facing. While we appreciate the fact that we get to play new people getting facerolled by far superior numbers does and is getting real old.
I would love to have a Dev comment on this as I’ll be forced to transfer to a server that has far superior numbers so I can face roll in a 75 man zerg some poor hapless server than can put together 25 players on a map at best or go back to playing checkers where I have a 50/50 chance of winning.
This is NOT an appealing situation you guys are putting us all in.
Please seriously consider fixing the inbalance on players in WvW
Anvil Rock has been down for over an hour now, NOTHING on the forums other than they are aware of “some” problems with WvW.
Bummer and curses to Anet for not knowing anything!
Bellevue I do believe, and Devon, don’t worry about the delivery truck parked outside your building unloading what looks like Treb parts and pieces. I just want to let you know I know where you work and to keep up the good work or else!! I agree with the dang daylight saving crud, it messes up my GW2 playtime.
I think Ebay’s Borderland was empty yesterday because of the zerg they sent to OL in Eternal Battlegrounds to finish taking everything we had, It was an epic defense on AR’s part. So Errrbay, was it 6 or 8 Golems plus I don’t know how many pieces of seige equipment you lost at the gates before your 60 to 70 man zerg finally triumphed over our outmanned forces and took Overlook? Equally funny is that it was a very expensive fight on your side and extremely SHORT lived as we took back not only Overlook from you but all of our side of Eternal less than 10 minutes later. ( ps. nice try at the spawn camping by the way, FAIL!) We built the 2 Trebs at Veloka that you just had no defense planned for ;-) and evicted you from our overlook.
We also decided to take some of BP’s towers (overreaching on your keep there BP ;-) sorry about the damage!) since we had the momentum.
We may be down but we are not out! While you can obviously out man us (EB) you can not out play us. All in All a good couple of hours worth of epic fights in EB yesterday. Looking forward to reset, maybe all the AR players playing with the dang box of fun will come back and support not only our borderlands but Eternal too!!!
See yah on the battlefield.
Peace!
Well coming from a “noob” ele I get a heck of a lot of bags/kills with a well timed tornado 70 or 80% of the way through a good fight, disrupting all players that are not stable and knocking a good amount of players senseless is fun to use and watch. Hitting it on a bridge or close to any edge is bonus fun time. Yes, I do get downed when I use it sometimes but if you know how to play your skills, mist form and get the heck back to your side of the battle and hope for a rez
Shooting for 30K kills now (26500) mainly on my ele. So I guess that makes me a noob.
Contesting anything with a door should be exactly the opposite of what repairing a door is now, What I mean is you MUST do actual damage to the Keep/Tower door of 5 or 10% in order to contest it. This stops the Knock knock Avon calling crap that is going on now contesting everything. Doing any actual damage is worthy of white swords, not some bored thief selling makeup.
Just caught [bank] from BP in AR Hills Lord room with numbers with both gates and walls intact…
Not to complain, its just to notify BP if they want to police their own people. We already sent screenshots and reported to Anet.
who says mesmers inside wasnt hiding?? with thiefs??
You know it is entirely possible (highly improbable) and I’ll leave it up to Anet to decide what happened. We swept the crap out of the keep.
It would mean they had to hide two mesmers, one behind each wall to pull it off legit since everything was intact.
you do know 1 mesmer can portal directly into lords room right?
I didn’t know a mesmer could portal directly into the lords room while everything was intact. This is legit? Forgive my ignorance if that is the case.
Yes, it is possible.
Server A is about to lose hills
Mesmer from Server A hides well inside the keep
Server B takes the keep, and quickly runs to their next objective
Mesmer from Server A notices that everything is clear, calls everybody to rally outside the keep, and ports everybody in.So are you saying if a mesmer were to hide in inner, they drop a portal and run past the two walls and outside of hills to port the army in? I didn’t realize the range of portal was that far.
Hey Errrbay,
I found this during the AWESOME fights we had while you were taking BAY (well Bay during the Hills defense anyways) and then HILLS in AR, from us yesterday, you threw everything at us and then some, and this shows what I mean by everything (while we were seriously outmanned) :-)
Fun times, hope you all appreciated our efforts!!
(Just how did you get it to hills so fast and what toons use it??)
