Guild Wars 2

I’ll pass. I was nick n dimed last time with main game at £50 ($80) a digital copy it isn’t happening again.

Good luck Arenanet this is one “expansion” I won’t be buying till the price is cheaper than £35 ($55).

I really hope this map combats the zerg “tactics” of the Alpine map.

I’ve recently come back to GW2 and the zerging seems to be worse now than it was before I left.

I don’t see the point in upgrading towers at all as the zerg can steamroll through anything like a hot knife through butter.

It makes a mockery of upgrading a keep or tower for hours when a zerg can bulldoze it down in minutes.
There is no balance to attack and defence. It should take just as much effort to destroy the tower/keep than it did to upgrade it otherwise upgrading is pointless.

No wonder no one defends any more.

There seems to be a power vacuum in WvW due to players getting much more powerful from upgraded weapons, armour and siege but the buildings in WvW have all stayed at the same hitpoints which creates much weaker towers/keeps than before.

All buildings and guards need to scale to the power of the players or it’s just like fighting in a newbie area to create easy mode for all.

There is no server pride and they never will be until server transfers are stopped.

Gunnar’s Hold server has suffered because of the nightcapping and recently server transfers as we lost most of our WvW guilds who flew the coup to Blacktide as they wanted to win more than they wanted to create a community.

Your server rankings are worthless and mean nothing until WvW is fixed.

P.S. I’ll be kicking butt in PS2, NC faction until Arenanet actually do something…

We should one of the top ranked servers as we do really well on our prime time on an EU server but WvW is 24/7 as deemed by Arenanet so we are losing even though we do fight on our alloted timezone.

I’m guessing they’ll be more “elite” WvW guilds jumping ship to pastures new before the week is up but that’s what some guilds do to win no matter what the cost to the server they left.

We’ll still fight but it’ll be at a lower “rank” than what we are now unless Arenanet changes the rules in WvW (which is very unlikely) or we get some US/AUS guilds to transfer to our server.

Anesco it’s probably better to visit the Unofficial Gunnar’s Hold forums to find out what’s happening with WvW and the community at large .

I think it’s time to end free server transfers ASAP. The first week or 2 was fine but it’s 5 weeks into the game and they still persists.

No guild is going to transfer if they lose all their upgrades so end the transfers now or suffer the consequences Arenanet of unbalanced WvW matchups from people transferring just to go on the winning side.

I wouldn’t even announce the end of the transfers and let all the spies and cheats who did transfer to interfere with the WvW matchup of other servers pay up for transfer back to their guilds server.

If they want to transfer to other servers to mess with the matchups they should be consequences for their actions.

Woke up today to another night capping session from the other servers. I play on Gunnar’s Hold and we don’t have any international guilds for night capping but we do win when we get to play similar servers that don’t nightcap as well.

So this will be another week I won’t be stepping foot in WvW as your system doesn’t allow for points to be lost just gained and so the snowball effect takes place.

In less than 2 days we already have a winning server with a 20k point lead which was about 8k lead last night when I logged off.

WvW is a pointless part of GW2 for mine and many other servers who don’t have night capping guilds in off peak.

If this carries on for the next few months you won’t have queue problems any more in WvW but you might have to merge a few servers

Just remember WvW is end game for a lot of guilds and if night capping isn’t solved they will move on to pastures new

That’s pretty dirty of them if it is the case, hopefully mods start replying on these sort of topics sooner than later.

It’s a really bad conspiracy theory anyway. A lot of people are holding out on buying upgrades because “who cares, it will just reset eventually” – even though most stuff flips so often that it wouldn’t matter.

It’s great to hear that more information will be coming soon, though. I hope issues like the retaliation vs siege weapons, AoE through geometry and server population imbalance are addressed as well!

I hope the issues raised above are fixed ASAP and a lot more patches come to WvW as ANet have been very quiet in regards to WvW.

It’s the beginning and end game for a lot of people. I just hope they don’t leave it to it’s own devices as that would be a real shame. It needs more love and attention sooner rather than later or suffer the backlash of your once loyal fanbase.

And fix the queue system. It is really bad.

I queued last night for about 2.5 hours but other guild members were let in before me while only queueing for an hour or so.

The queue system is completely messed up and needs a revamp.

I have also had reports that players are abusing the AFK timer system so they don’t get booted after 15 mins of inactivity by using macros.
This exploit of the queue system needs investigating ASAP!

It’s impossible to organise events for guild members when the queue system stops us from hardly ever getting everyone in at a reasonable timescale.
