Guild Wars 2

Id not mind Kodans, Quaggans, and Skritt.

I do have a number of WvW concerns, but very happy to hear some form of update, even if it couldn’t be more detailed on whats happening and how soon it will be implemented.
I would like to add a +1 on what Perdan mentioned. Haven’t seen many if any posts on this, but its a basic issue, that needs to be resolved.

Great Idea…. um whats that track playing?

It was 10 when I did a borderland.

You missed:
some form of auto-loot of bags, or at a minimum auto-loot of badges.
Convert badges to currency rather than take bag space.
Alt+F4 or logout on downed

Very good post. Great information.. yet another thread I hope ANet is reading and considering.

Some very good ideas from the OP….. yes some have been stated before, but good none the less.

displacedTitan.6897:

People who die constantly to Thieves need to l2p.

As a Condinecro they only win if I am half asleep. You can remove the culling issue by just turning down your settings. I have a top end machine with a 2560×1440 monitor but I set everything to medium with Ultra LOD.

GOOD thieves who dont just spam HS are competitive, not OP.

The culling issue is not a settings based option on your client.
It is maintained by ANet. Therefore your suggestion is a “No Workie” option.
The issue has been acknowledged by ANet a a feature of their engine.

I do endorse this message. Let us hope ANet has some plans in place….
and hope they throw us a bone with a sticky that gives their intent.

From CD here… yes when its this unbalanced, I go level an alt in PvE or go Beta Planetside 2.

Just about to roll into 44… Ding

I am getting in WvW now. After about every 2 or 3 deaths… stuck at loading. I have to kill the Client.
Weird thing is I am hearing in game stuff going on around me like Im loaded, but its still showing the Loading screen.

It seemed to work fine in Beta. These problems have come more about since the recent patching.

There are many truths stated above, but they are all in need of balance.
Solo, in and of itself is just that, and this is WvWvW which is about the team.
I think it a great idea to run with the zerg in the beginning to get a feel of the maps and the needs of your team for the greater good.
From there you can make those discerning decisions of solo taking a supply camp, or dolyak since it would greatly benefit your team as a whole.
Running solo though, you will be harder pressed to acquire the in game currency.. i.e. badges, karma, etc. Especially if you are running as a scout. The team benefits, but the individual gets no reward (beyond self satisfaction).

Good luck in your decision.

So, Im at work…. curious how it is after the posted patch notes.
How’s it looking (yeah good word for invisible enemy’s)?

Monday would be a good answer for a fix compared to what we are hearing.
WvWvW is end game. I’m actually bothered by the limited amount of patching that has effected the numerous issues / complaints about WvWvW.

From CD here. I just want to say this has been a very fun week in WvWvW.
No, not because of our score, but due to the real challenges provided by our foes from the other servers.
I have looked forward to getting on and finding targets of opportunity. Many times to be pushed back, and others to achieve the goal.

Thanks DB and TC for the fun week.

Crystal Desert… Luvpie I think is his name… from FANG
Just liked the way he handled the troops…. gave commands without it feeling like a command.

Love this idea… I missed the DAOC experience due to other interests, but man I wish I had jumped in to check it out.
WvWvW needs something. Something to motivate the de-motivated

I personally don’t think there is an alliance.
Basically I see it as this. We got our stools pushed in, and from there its rather demotivating to log in and see the majority if not all of the capture points some other color than our own.
Once that de-motivation kicks in… many people don’t even go into the WvW.
Hell, I myself went into EB (which only had a hand full of CD people in it) and tried to deal with the wall of ballistia, and from there went to our borderlands to at least feel like I could move beyond a wall.
Even there with more #’s it was still difficult to do much more than capture a few points.

Great thread, and I do hope ANet is listening.
I would +1 but as usual the forums are kinda buggered. No quote options no +1.

Yeah, from Crystal Desert here, and last night blew goats.
EB was utterly useless to be in. We were blocked in… and there were only a handful of us, so we could never mount an offensive.
Much less get supply to build any siege eqiup to even try to do so.

this might be a good general place to start:

This post made a light come on.
How about Joint server matches.
1 EU 1 US server joined as a team. 3 total teams of this. that would create coverage.

Of course that would introduce more queues I’m sure.

I res / revive almost anyone I see… including NPC’s. Don’t know why, I feel bad just passing em by.
I think its a great idea… but it would need to be a nominal amount.
I am thinking sub 10 karma per revive / res, but only for Player Characters.

So, from the numerous and varied response… I’m getting about what I’m going to get being a ranged AoE Grenade Engineer.
I don’t have my kill count, but will take a look at it tonight and get an idea on how much wind I’m sucking.

So, I played 3 – 4 hours last night… and only got 4 badges.
I am a recently 80 Engineer doing AOE damage with grenades.
I am being active, helping capture points, doing damage, and reviving team mates, and of course throwing the occasional heal.
I am looting sacks on the ground… (there were not many but I was actively looking for em too) but in the end, only 4 badges.

What exactly should I be doing to improve the number of badges I received?

Any advice is much appreciated.

all of them are great suggestions…

Easy or not… I would greatly appreciate this to be implemented.
Fine leave PvE alone. But in WvW its almost a must, and if not the entire bag, at least auto loot the badges. Complete waste for them not to already be mine.

Yeah, hoping this gets corrected. Having the same issues as the others here have posted.
Would really prefer checking dev updates via RSS.

I say leave the commander Icon. But, make other land mass Icons come out higher than them. i.e. waypoint icon comes out on top and the commander icon behind it.

Also, remove it from PvE. there is no reason for it to show up in PvE.

you can buy more character slots with the in game gems.

I was confused by this as well. Heck using the PST messes me up all the time (oh, get it?) since I live in central.. yep adding 2 hours messes me up.

May i suggest Sticky this. As you know this is one of the more repeated threads.

Thanks.

Interesting and I like the concept. Could give a retool to a pet.

Ill agree with MeVe.2856:
“When you control the Mortar the camera reset, pretty annoying.”

This should be listed as a bug, because its absurd to do what it does every time you enter the mortar. (I believe it does this same buggeryness when entering siege equipment too).

Personal Opinion: No Addons.

I do agree I would like to adjust the UI displays some stuff, so a MOD that only adjusts UI elements would be good in my book.

+1 on this… At least one alternate build covering traits at minimum would be great…
But even better to include gear and utility choices.

Props on sharing this information. Thank you for your time…

Eager to see the future resolution of the issue none the less.

very comprehensive thread on the various camera issues:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Camera-Related-Issues-Compilation-and-Lengthy-Anaylsis/first

yes it would be nice… /agree

great post and I completely agree.

joe.7684:

Hmmmmm…Maybe ANet needs to introduce something along the lines of events that are seeing too many zergs, where the players mobbing the event suddenly get zerg’ed themselves by a mass of enemy reinforcements. Whaddya think?

This would be awesome. The event has completed over and over several times… then one large bonus event happens.
Same event cycle, but more mobs in each wave that have more veterans or champions in it.

My thoughts on this is:
It sucks when its happening to me too.
But, it only makes sense. I focus fire on players who are in a downed state in WvW, why wouldn’t an NPC do the same.

yep, please do this. I would spend gems for a 2nd / 3rd build preset option.

oh, and locked posts because its a duplicate…
I agree, I look at dev posts to get updates and upcomming info.

should link the Reddit in your post. Many of the developers read over there as well.
Well, they used to before the forums over here opened up.

yeah I can see this being useful.

Maybe, when you add an item to the discovery window, instead of graying out all that can not be used.. it applies a filter and hides them and collapses the inventory list.

+1 for justice. Support should get credit.
Exp, drops etc.

Afroman.1793:

• My Location – Take out that useless personal waypoint and add in a different system. When you do alt + left click it will make a chat link of your current location. If you alt + right click it will make a chat link and post it immediately.

I wouldn’t want it taken out, but rather augmented with the two features you mention.
I use the personal waypoint on occasion to keep me on track for my destination.
But I do like the option to link where I am at in chat.
