Guild Wars 2

Anet just needs to change something about their system. The linking is a good idea, but the execution is quite poor.

For example: when deso is linked they’re top server for 6 weeks, now they’re unlinked they’re T5 material in top tier for 6 weeks. It’s somewhat difficult to put this into perspective to other server because people will always start mentioning quality/nightcapping etc. etc. (which I believe is a different issue: It’s difficult to find perfect 24/7 balance in any RvR game).
My point is simple: the linking system has some flaws, is too decisive and creates mainly instability.

I believe Anet should either change the linking periods to shorter times, or actually start merging some servers…

I’m wondering how increasing the importance of primetime for PPT is gonna work out… generally speaking during primetime people log on for the fights, not for the PPT. Making the PPT more important in a timeframe where people go to WvW for the fights could lead to some salty mapchats…

Will that fix give me my legendary map rewards for the zones I have completed?

10 am in the morning… im sorry, but friday night is THE WvW guildwars night… getting wasted and gathering lootbags, why change this to saturday… leave it as it is please.

maybe look into the times you do normal patches though so they dont interfere with our primetime.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

For Heart of Thorns, we are rebalancing the WvW Lifetime achievement requirements to much more reasonable numbers. At the same time we’ll also be updating many of their associated titles.

• We are not changing the Realm Avenger (“Ultimate Dominator”) achievement requirements or title, as some players have actually obtained it and it’s a bit of a status symbol.
• The “Yakslapper” title will remain, but the requirement is being reduced to 2500 yaks.
• As an example title change: “Ultimate Liberator” will become “Kingmaker”

Make it reasonable, but not too easy… I have double those yaks killed already, im sure 90% of active wvwers have too.

More improvements
-Bill

Appreciated that you work on this, but ‘more improvements’…? WvW skill lagg has INCREASED the past months. If the improvements don’t work, isn’kitten good idea to maybe lower the numbers per border again?? The game mode has been lagging for a majority of the time since release and I think it’s not unfair to say many are sick of waiting.

We aint blobbing!

Thank you Gaile!!

there you go sfr, that’s how you do it.

Seems its a ‘colour’ issue then? blue and red can’t enter blue borderland etc?

everything fine in deso, and we all know the scores would be like this anyway.

escorting the yaks in sfr bl, well fun!

p.s. we miss our easy lootbags vs SFR, do we get send 100 lootbags in compensation?

p.p.s. obiovusly joking, reset this stuff for all I care. quite dissapointed with the speed Anet operates at these situations though… Do you even care about anything that happens outside US? Maybe an update on any of these threads?

Condolences from [AIM] Desolation

Dont listen to OP, just go to SFR. Tons of lootbags by just spamming your 1 button, great way to get your WvW achievements, amazing people and commanders. What else could you want?

Man, if i had the gold i’d go there today. I would love to train my new warrior in WvW there.

So SFR destroyed WvW because of Anet?

IM CONFOOZED WHOS FAULT

yea, and we would like to see some of the promised changes to keep wvw fun and interesting…

we all want something different, don’t we?

[PT] would never do such a horrible thing

Hello all and hopefully hello Devon,

Since near enough the release of the game people have had questions about the achievements and titles we can get in WvW. There was quite a lot of criticism regarding the (sometimes/mostly) ridiculous amounts of events you had to complete to get the achievements. For those that do not know what i’m talking about, let’s look at the example of the Yakslapper title; you need to kill 1 million dolyaks to get this title. As seen in http://www.guildwars2hub.com/news/guild-wars-2-first-year-infographic 23 million dolyaks were killed in TOTAL in year 1, only just enough to give 23 people this title… if it weren’t for the fact these are the kills over all players.
Personally, after playing nearly 5000 hours, of which a large amount (R2k+) in WvW, I have managed to kill 3000 of these yaks.

Now i have been impatiently waiting since many before me have asked this question and many promised were made by Anet, including you Devon;
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/For-the-Dolytariat/first#post2722804
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/WvW-Achievements-are-unrealistic

We were ‘promised’ changes in the short term, we were promised changes before the end of the year, if i remember correct i also saw someone promise changes before season 1. I appreciate that these post all said ‘ideally’ and there’s a ton of work to be done to implement his and I do understand there are different parts of the games being addressed, there is a new WvW maps, there’s a seasons ongoing etc, and i have not the slightest knowledge about game development, but please guys… could you look into this issue because these achievements are simply (but literally) impossible and … is it really that much work to change them?

Because these threads are usually not allowed without posting any suggestions;
Remove 2 ’0’s’ from each of the total number of kills/amount you have to complete the events (apart from realm avenger)? 10k dolyaks seems difficult enough… defending 5k camps will take forever… etc.

Please look into this.

Confirmed now, PT will move to Gandara this thursday at 8pm. Looking forward to fight with you all. We’re finally bring a proper guild to Gandara to fight alongside YaK.

- edit: we need to restack 250 silver dolyaks -

my condolences to his guildies, friends and family

- a former IRON follower

it’s amazing to see that now it’s official these notes are fake, this thread is full of posts saying how there ‘were finally some viable patch notes’ and it ‘was to good to be true’.

I must have missed that the real notes are out there too!? or how the heck does everyone know the actual patch notes will be trash?

as a thief i feel we could use some love… In this patch you first nerf the critical damage (which is very important for most viable thief builds) and then you remove our aoe tagging poison fields too… why don’t we get something in return? faster ini regen (since that has been nerfed badly 10th december) or finally some more stability so we don’t get insta beaten down in wvw?

I have the feeling thiefs are getting more pointless with every patch, thiefs were mainly decent in WvW cause of the poison… now there are better options. Thiefs used to be good for ganking enemy commanders… i doubt that will work as well with the new patch… Give us SOMETHING.

If this is not sorted feel free to pm me (Black Lion Key) in game. We offer the website registration for the ease of recruitment, but if you pm us in game we will get there aswell.

Let this be a week full of blobbing and nightcapping!

After being double teamed by Aurora and Gandara for a couple of hours and probably about 50 siege pieces being used by both servers, we’ve lost out EB keep. I would like to congratulate all our Deso players that showed our real skill, holding both servers off for HOURS while being shot from every direction possible and big zergs from both servers continuously pushing us.

Really amazing fight from our side deso! we got tons of lootbags and had massive fun. Really funny to see how the other servers nearly failed, even while double teaming

Gamgee.8612:

Also this pic from 3-way zerging was cool! AG and Deso clashing like titans!

haha that was my little open raid in EB yday, epic 3 way fights indeed even though was frustrating cause we expected sm to upgrade any second,… then i dced and had to go to a borderland instead with my guys ;(.

Props to AG for their necro/minion event right now haha, looks epic! (pic related).

Was a nice reset, PT + blob started in EB and ended in gandara. Hoping for more fun fights this week, even though won’t be on so much cause x-mas n all.

Good luck all, and have a nice x-mas with lots of kills

GDavison.9605:

Some nice fights on FSP border tonight.
Nice to see guilds running everywhere with reasonable numbers.
EXG, PunK, DFC, XxX and PT.
Go on the same map tomorrow and do it again please.

We went to FSP and didn’t find too much action after first fight so we hopped :/ was not much action at all tonight unfortunatly.

Because i won’t be here tomorrow, a little early end of the matchup for me;
Thanks all for the nice fights this week, after the drastic changes we had in PT the past week we really needed to measure our strength a bit. Special thanks to [dF] for offering us great resistance while we (heavily) outnumbered you guys. Really shows us we got a lot of work to do (and yes, we are cleaning our roster as we speak and getting away from the open blob raids more and more). Obviously thanks to all other enemy guilds and allies too!

Hopefully Anet will make sure the matchup do not allow us to meet the same servers AGAIN soon, so hopefully not seeing u lot next week

Umad.7528:

Make sure to watch our Christmas stream tonight. We will raid with only upscaled pink-afroed asura guardians. We will also give away 500 gold to celebrate Christmas!

LampGhost.9658:

Was fun blobbing up in EB just now, i heard the FSP commander got a bit upset with us and quit, while i even tried to help him by pming where we were going.

sometimes your useless guild move alone or u just blob everytime to come on the forum and troll other?

That’s pretty ironic coming from a guild that runs 30+ guys guild groups and never managed to beat us in a proper fight

But what can I say… If we do good we get a larger following and we do even better… That’s probably why we blob so much. Maybe beating us sometimes would stop that?

Deso has been blobbing EB the whole day already, i doubt whatever you did back then made any difference.

Well, your t3 towers didn’t reset themselves magically did they?

Nice little fights on FSP bl this evening too, thanks to punk, kale and dF.

hihey.1075:

Ty for all the loot bags @ kale, Atom, pain and every other guy who blobbed yesterday in GH BL! It was so satisfying that despite being attacked by 3 whole guilds we managed to defend every upgraded objective we held(even the upgraded north camp lol).

Same here, Thanks indeed PAIN and kale. Funny to see how some of you still fall for the easiest portalbomb. Loved to smack IRON down aswell with our blob of death haha. Even in the end when PAIN and Kale had to team up on us and completely surprised us at bay killed them no problem.

Cheers all for the ‘fights’.

agreed. finishers not permanent, mini is uglier than the 1 from gemstore. i got same amount as exotics as my pve friends. why no wvw related rewards?

are you serious anet? we have fought 7 weeks in the hope we finally get something cool and even the finisher is limited? The dolyak looks uglier than the one you can buy with gems…

i’ve lost all faith in you lot… seriously.

these rewards were based on your performance, we expected something good. is anet seriously trying to make different aspects of the game more rewarding?? nice joke. Didn’t the dev mention in a post that all people serverhopping wouldnt get as good rewards cause they wouldnt be able to participate in that?? me, as a hardcore 95% of the time wvw-er got exactly the same as my pve friends.

anet, fix this please. permanent finisher, another chest with proper rewards to set this straight would be highly appreciated. or how about some WVW RELATED rewards?? titles??

I’m getting quite annoyed at arenanet. 2 posts have been infracted now. Both non insulting nor offensive posts, completely relevant and maybe slightly provoking like expected in a war. Seriously gg anet. Not gonna be bothered with these forums anymore, it’s pathetic. Competitive posts get removed, tons of qqing is allowed…

Gg for this match up guys. Can’t say more about it cause it would probably get removed.

Bergflo.3867:

Yh, you really wanted that… we could feel that. GJ and thx for bringing ur lootbags in anyway and thx for founding PT. I really like to stomp you guys.

Bergflo.3867:

Yh our commander needed to go off and so we were even more unorganized in your last pushed as usual, otherwise we would have tried to give you a proper fight for sure.

It’s allright! there’s no shame in being proud of getting a lot of lootbags with siege when you’re barely able (or dare?) to properly fight us!

i agree with most people here that the commander icon should change based on experience. a very simple way to do so is the change the color of the tag based on the rank of the commander.

i.e. rank <1k is blue tag, 1-2k is bronze tag, 2-3k is silver tag… etc etc.

Pve ranks should be different from WvW tags. Let the people with a tag decide if they want a wvw tag or pve one and change the look of wvw one based on their rank. let the pve one be based on achievement level? something among those lines.

Had a lovely weekend, starting with some open raids during reset, yesterday blobbing it up a bit and today in deso bl and around 6-9 CET in Gandara bl. It’s always so lovely to wipe out the complete abba blob and watch the endless load of loot scrolling on the right of the screen. The Gandara presence was minimal (think i’ve only seen diva and some other small scale guilds).

I wonder what the rest of the week will bring, maybe Gandara will make a heavy push in order to come first since Deso doesn’t really care anymore since we’ve already won anyway?

I really enjoyed the season so far, it gives you a reason to actively go for the win! However, i think we all could do with a few weeks break. If that devon post is true, Gandara may want to push us to the maximum they can and see if they can win themselves some dolyaks too! And as always i expect a lot of lootbags from Abbadon!

Good luck all, lets have some great fights and finish this season with a fun and lootbag-rich matchup.

Bit early, but thanks all for the matchup. The kittening aside it started off as an exciting matchup, died a bit down during the week.

See you next week gandalf

Apart from some guilds here being reasonable and not caring (cause the guilds probably do have a lovely time against our pugs) its so funny to read the gandaran and auroran messages. Aurora is even funnier than gandara taking time to come here and post.

p.s. i edited my signature cause you guys deserve it!

so I set up duel with one of desolation ranger….. beat hem up to 1% health and he called in hes zerg who veiled in nice job desolation really you sux

http://postimg.org/image/na39xbbbz/

this is just the perfect example how things look a bit differently on the other side. please read your post again and tell me you really believe that that guy waited until he got to 1% health, picked up his red phone, that our commanders hand out to all the roamers, and called for backup, and then the whole zerg got there instantly, vailed and blah, blah, blah…

need to remember to pick up red phones from guild bank next time i tag up.

that actually did happen. The QQ alarm bells rang, we decided to wipe his tears together.

Thanks for the epic fights in gandara windmill bout 5 minutes ago, much respect to our strong enemies, but our small deso forced managed to wipe you all!

This forum: 1 big boooohoooooohooooo from Gandara side.

Yes Gandara, guess what, we are in silver league. Isn’t that just a shame for you lot? Let’s keep complaining about how we are a gold server (however, if you were beating us this week we would probably just be a ‘lolroflstomp server’).

Why do you guys lower yourselves to moan so much? Get over it already. Even attempting to double team did not work, the only reason why you guys even stood a chance this week is cause we let you guys come second in the first week instead of abbadon.

There 1 very simple thing you guys forget: There is always one the best… If WE did not end up in silver league, then Augury Rock would have, and you would have still got your butt handed to you and complained about the other server.

I will enjoy my mini Dolyak and finisher though, thanks a lot for giving up so easy!

Good day.

Mogrim you silly goose! That’s because you are IN GP!

Worst guild EU, worst commanders EU

We should indeed be in gold league, but we wanted 7 relaxing weeks before we would go back to fight REAL servers again.

This week’s matchup is the most boring one so far, no challenge at all, just hiding in towers and keeps.

Aww, so it’s official that some puggies from gandara will team up with FS?

Well guys, all i can say…. Bring it!

If deso is losing by wednesday we’ll run a nice train, and you lot can expect a LOT of golems, blobbing, lagg and nightcapping.

Problems? Pm the PT complaint department; Wemil.

Respect to PunK and XxX for openly saying they won’t take part in this. Dont lower yourselfs

demetrodon.1457:

May best server win ? No matter what you do, Deso is gonna win. Anyway, hoping for good fights ahead of the week. glhf

Well, the best server will win then eh?

Good luck all, hope we get some nice fights this week.

I found the week pretty decent, kinda boring during the day (i happened to have a few days off), but plenty of action during the evening. About people talking about roamers here, keep in mind this always goes both ways… When i was roaming i barely found single roamers either and i got jumped by groups of 5 quite a lot + found some of these gesturing or dropping siege on my head. Personally i dont care about this, but many people seem to think it’s only deso doing this.

Protip for the frenchies: Start using some proper gear and your zerg may actually be strong! Or don’t, so we can keep getting our lootbags

Pure curiosity and slightly offtopic; What can we make from the fact WvW maps get posted by PvP community officers now? Line between them getting thinner?

Further as someone who spends 99% of his time in WvW; i’d have loved to test the map myself, sadly i didn’t get an invite either. So far i’m unfortunately not impressed from what i’ve heard about the new map. Would love to have myself proven wrong.

Dsmagleby.6217:

To the Deso Group who ran past our GvG, Thanks for not interupting !

no1 could tell us who was having a GvG so we had to check it out, told everyone not to interrupt and was a sort of behaviour test too haha.

Further, thanks all for the fights tonight in deso. Pretty decent fights, however i’m still surprised how FR managed to build 3 sup ac’s behind the gate in bay which wiped about 80% of our people, and then get completed wiped by our remaining 20% :p. You guys really should gear up a bit.
