Just join TS anyway. Turn it on so they can see ur there but mute ur mic. A lot of commanders dont care if u dont speak, they often say u dont have to talk, just listen. They dont need to know u are deaf and wont even know u cant hear them… Not many people talk that much on TS anyway, a lot have their mics muted.

I don’t think this is a viable option. I did try joining TS once but got kicked out of squad still. Apparently they do random checks to make sure people are listening due to spies from other servers. While I think that would work in some cases, I don’t think that is the right solution.

Oh yup that press 1 of ur on TS thing lol

Just join TS anyway. Turn it on so they can see ur there but mute ur mic. A lot of commanders dont care if u dont speak, they often say u dont have to talk, just listen. They dont need to know u are deaf and wont even know u cant hear them, especially if ur experienced and know how to run in wvw and stick on tag lol… a lot of ppl on TS have their mics muted.

A looooong time ago when they opened eotm a LOT of ppl left wvw and went there because they could run around in a circle and farm/level easily without having to fight scary ppl. That was the beginning of the fall of wvw……..

NO WAY

As a wvw player I would like legendary armour simply for the stat /rune change thing as when ur in several wvw guilds they all want u to use a different build then ur GL’s decide they want u to use a different build than last week lol it drives me nuts. Its too expensive and annoying to change ascended armour all the time… thats why.

And the ppl who say u dont need ascended in wvw clearly havent been in really hard 3 way fights inside smc, or open field battles.

I also play Marauder and swap out my trinkets depending on whats going on and how Im feeling. Been trying to play this dagger horn healing thing. Hate dagger. If I wanted to play melee I would have made a warrior.

I like my staff, like to burn, freeze, annoy, torture, control and round up mobs like sheep lol….. Cant do that with a soft willy dagger.

People don’t factor in their connections and the servers in between A.Net and themselves. I know for a fact there are US players on that server who have less lag then their EU counterparts but we in the US usually have faster connections. People need to check what is going on between the game servers and their PC before they blame A.Net. When I was having lag, I found a server in between, one of my ISP servers was dropping 50% of the packets. That needs to be looked at first.

A.Net has done a lot to lower lag in the game. BUT, they could do better.

Also this game is not multithreaded as it uses one core on a CPU and will hog that, so if that CPU core is at 100% usage, that will also cause lag.

I agree. Its easy to blame Anet.

I know ppl won’t believe this but mine is fine… only get some lag occasionally in very big fights like in SMC and I live in Australia which is apparently crap….. so yep I think its ur ISP, computer or something in between.

This is very weird, talk about tunnel vision… just go out the sides or go to another map like others have said.

I enjoy being spawn camped and enjoy spawn camping lol If Im being camped I practice trying to push ppl/zergs back. If Im camping thats fun too.

Server transfers.
Having all of my friends on different servers and not being able to wvw with them.
Guilds Im in deciding to transfer, then some ppl go and some dont. It causes problems and then u have to kill ur guildies lol.
Server stacking because everyone wants to be in T1 as they think being in T1 is winning (must be a guy thing) :P
Many servers died because of server stacking causing the situation that exists now with pairing.
Wanting Anet to turn wvw into mega servers like Kurzick v Luxon and stop transfers completely so that ppl are loyal to one world and proud to fight for their world (like it was in GW1) but ppl always yell no that would be bad and would nvr happen.
Yea yea I know… Anet and the gems thing.

EOTM doesnt need to be balanced, it is there so u have a wvw “like” place to rumble around in for a few minutes, while ur in a que waiting to get into real wvw… and for the devs to test stuff. Thats it, thats all… stop trying to turn EOTM into something its not lol give it a rest and go real wvw for once…. zzzzzzzz

Some of our drivers are away atm. It is great to have GoM with SoS… been having a blast and good fights since the merger thingy… just this past couple of weeks it has been slack due to coms taking a break. Thanks GoM guys for helping and leading as well

If a team is playing a football match and they are hammering the opposition what are they gunna do? Awww geee the enemy is losing bad lets sit in the corner

Yes. In fact… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy_rule

Typically at the professional level it is not needed because such sports are played on an even playing field where skill is somewhat normalized, which WvW is not.

Oooooh nvr heard of that one, will read that when I get a chance

Why do people always dummy spit and leave whene there is a thing they dont like, like spawncamping? who would leave because of that really lol

Dont wanna stand there and provide bags? Use ur brains and figure out how to do something else…

Toughen up princesses

If a team is playing a football match and they are hammering the opposition what are they gunna do? Awww geee the enemy is losing bad lets sit in the corner and have a picnic and let them catch up lol nope. They will hammer u more until you break. Its a tactic… nothing wrong with it.

I still think people are too precious…

Spawn camping is good for the game because it is a tactic.

Can the people complaining say they have never spawn camped even once lol really? People will continue to do it, it cant be stopped and its not the fault of the game or the campers. If youre being spawn camped and dont like it figure out a way to deal with it… dont blame the campers.

I like being camped occasionally and I like spawn camping occasionally lol… guess Im weird.

Personal feeling- Crappy thing to do and nothing to be proud of or to encourage.

Practical Thought-Discourages enemies from coming out the more consistently this occurs, especially server militia, this leads to reduced fights, and wvw without fights is a waste of time.

Tell that to Magunma lmfaoooooo

The DH Mag spawn camp situation isn’t the typical situation. DH has fed us bags for days on end. When we let you out you end up sitting on trebs and ac’s and just treb open whatever structure you can reach and try to sneak in when no one is looking. Taking your keep and sitting in front of your spawn is pretty much the only time we are getting fights out of you.
That’s why people park in front of your spawn and not SoS’s. We cap their whole side as well but they don’t repeatedly run out to die for hours, they just go PPT the deserted bl until we leave.

Some people are so precious…

Mag was spawn camping us last night, big deal lol I actually find it fun… try to kill them and practice ur skills/build… dance in front of them, take ur armour off and show them ur undies or turn into a quaggan. Im an ele and like to practice pushing them all back

What does it matter really. If u hate it so much go out the sides and start capping their stuff… pay them back and spawn camp them tomorrow…. whatever.

Like this guy says if you hate being camped, but keep running out to them repeatedly its pretty dumb.

T3

Im sad now too and feel like asking you to change servers (not sure where u are) as we still have people in wvw pretty much 24/7. The guild Im in always has ppl in wvw… I also dont believe in transferring servers (hate all that stuff) but thats another rant lol

I sort of think its no point transferring atm with this patch coming up, think it would be a waste of gold for a start, as we dont know what Anet is planning really…. its only a few days wait hopefully. You could take a break and do some pve… haha had to go pve recently to get some stupid runes, havent been to pve for a while and actually quite enjoyed it briefly but then just wanted to get it over with to get back to wvw :P I know how u feel….

I blame my GL for making me go there * points finger * haha lol

Keep smiling

I dislike eotm so much that I wanted it removed as I see it as one of the main things that has killed wvw but, after reading a lot of these posts, some of u guys have helped me see the light :P

Eotm itself isnt the problem for me. I like the map. The problem is what people do on it (easy farming for wvw rewards to the detriment of real wvw)… but anyway, it is true a lot of ppl like eotm and if it were gone many would probably chuck a tanty and leave the game, which isnt a good thing.

Sooo I swallow my pride *blushing * and agree that rather than removing it or limiting its use, it would be a good thing if eotm were included in real wvw, with the exact same rewards, so ppl could choose which map they wanted to play on and still do their k-train farm on their beloved eotm if thats what they want. That way the eotm’ers would be made to go to wvw :P muahahahaa… wvw would benefit and the eotm’ers might actually find they like real wvw.

FogLeg.9354:

I don’t know how to explain the situation to players blindly defending EotM. But I will try once more…

WvW makes sense only if there is enough players to fight in all 3 servers, in most times, in every map. Without enemies its boring and even those who log in to check it will leave soon. All the players in EotM are potential WvW players who have not only left their own server empty but have also ruined the WvW for other 2 servers because they chose to not fight opponents and instead join mindless karma train in huge blob in amap that has no other purpose except to endlessly farm stuff.

What you EotM-lovers misunderstand is the cause and effect. You claim people go to EotM because WvW is boring, meaning boring and empty WvW is the cause and so many players in EotM is the effect. Which is completely wrong. People go to EotM because it offers same rewards for much less work, and so having easy way to avoid any real WvW is the cause. Empty and boring WvW is the effect of having EotM because players in EotM are not in WvW.

Game provides 2 very similar game systems that have same rewards but one requires you to fight many skillful enemies who are very tough to kill and often kill you first. While the other system only asks for simple tag-following, providing same rewards in much faster rate, and without any fair of ever bumping into those pesky enemy players. Yes, many players will choose the easy way. Yes, they will like it very much. Of course they will jump out and shout loudly at everyone asking to nerf their unfair rewards. It still must be nerfed. Every game must constantly cut off farming spots with way too good reward/effort/time rate and EotM is just one big fat farming spot. Its popularity is not the reason to keep it in the game, but good indication of just how much damage it does to the game.

EXACTLY!!! YAY!

Wvw was extremely successful before eotm. In fact eotm was made because wvw was so successful with too many ppl waiting in queues. It was introduced so these ppl had somewhere to go while they waited. The problem I have with eotm is that the population in wvw dropped dramatically when eotm arrived, as ppl figured they could slack off and go there and do what they do… thus starting and causing (along with the other problems caused by Anet) the demise of wvw.

The reason (along with the mess Anet has made of wvw) that eotm is more populated is simply that it is easy to farm, run around in circles and level up without having to fight scary people in the scary real wvw. People are lazy and like easy.

My point is that eotm took and still takes ppl away from wvw.

I quite like the eotm map, I think its interesting and fun. I wouldnt mind if it were included in real wvw, along with the other maps, but really eotm needs to go and yes, they need to be made to go to real wvw lol

Then again the thought of them closing real wvw causing wvw’ers to go to eotm is a juicy thought lol… Dont want that to happen at all really, but would love to see eotm get absolutely hammered and watch them run :P

Ok I’ll spell it out…. The thing is, the morons, as u say, like me… who have been loyal to REAL wvw since release who want eotm gone are the ones who played REAL wvw before eotm existed and they know what REAL wvw was like back then. They know eotm started the problems that killed wvw and along with all of the other problems in wvw, eotm is still killing wvw. Eotm killed wvw because ppl went to eotm and stopped going to REAL wvw as they found they could pretty much run around in circles without having to fight others. They could farm loot from Lords and level their noob toons quickly and do it easy. Thats it… simple, ppl are generally lazy, like it easy… soooo running around in circles fighting nobody is much easier than going to REAL wvw. Because of this they nvr really came back. Its not that complicated. If they got rid of eotm some of these eotm ppl might actually decide to try REAL wvw, find they enjoy it and stay. This moron wants eotm gone.

Soooo I started trying to d/l this on Friday afternoon… its now Sunday night.. still trying. That makes it around 52 hours trying and still havent played the effing thing. Excellent.

Nvr had problems d/l anything before. Weird. Pretty peed off right now.

Maybe next expansion shoud be a stand alone like NF, Factions and EOTN.. never had any trouble with a any of them :P

I have been unable to play at all since launch. I managed to download it once which took 11 hours, played briefly but didnt get to do anything, no personal story and didnt get to go to the new maps or wvw. Then there was a notice of an update. I closed the game to update and have been trying to download that update for around nine and a half hours. It is stuck at 2%. I have just restarted it and its at 1KB per sec. This is brilliant. I have never had any trouble downloading any GW stuff before. So apparently from reading these forums it seems that everyone else is at least playing even with problems.. seems like I am the only person in the world who cant play GW2. Wonderful!!

I have been trying to download for almost 6 and a half hours… havent even been able to get the thing to playable. I had to sit on TS and listen to my guildies playing in wvw. They got straight in…. Im still waiting So sad

Poo :P
