Guild Wars 2

Strider Pj.2193:

If it’s been declining the last two days, that means you were farmed on reset? As currently, you are .1 in the KDR above BG. So….. if it’s declining, when your numbers are best, you are the worst?

no mag guilds run on reset congrats you can farm pugs. and i dont even think VR has raided yet this week so without one of our guilds we still farming you

Breaking up BG won’t work. Last time I checked BG had about 147K accounts.

how do you know how many accounts BG has? you work for anet??

also BG isnt that great all their NA guilds got farmed last night by one mag guild. KIS CL KnT XvX pretty much one pushed all night, only time they won a fight is when they fought 5 feet away from hills with mortars and constanly respawning back in

I have an account on GW2 Efficiency and it gives that information. If BG isn’t that great why are you whimpering like a little child right now? Hmm…..

whos whimpering? you all getting farmed, all your guilds got one pushed last night. get a grip. BG hasnt been winning fights since reset where no mag guilds run. last two days your kdr has been declining at a steady rate.

nah mag guilds only run about 6 core and rest are trials. no super blob

what domination? Mag is farming them this week. BG’s “best” guild one pushed 8 times tonight. BG just has numbers and rely on pin snipe to win fights.

im having trouble understanding how people think discord’s UI is hard to use. the only problem ive had with discord is i kept getting kicked from a guild’s server during a raid, they probably had some kick timer for non-verified guests… not sure.

the only thing i like TS over discord rn is soundboards.

some of you take this way too seriously lol. just get both. discord probably better for guilds, ts probably still better for servers. soundboards make TS great. i guess you can use them in discord but takes a lot more work.

good thing about discord you can get on without downloading the app cause its web-accessible and you dont have to keep re-verifying if you switch computers

that would depend on your computer’s specs. GW2 is a very CPU intensive game if you have a good CPU and a decent GPU you should be able to run high settings in wvw just turn down the number of players that appear. i believe if you have Effect LOD turned on you cant see the new spellbreaker bubble. but if you turn it off there are way too many effects to see anything.

I could be mistaken but isnt tRex ded? id put xD on there. other honorable mentions RISE SF DIE

TBH I’m not upset about gliding in wvw as i thought i would be. At first I was skeptical but after playing last night, it isn’t really a game changing factor to warrant mass uproar. First off EBG and Alpine weren’t designed for gliding so once they fix some exploits of gliding into towers it doesnt make a huge difference. There’s not really any combat advantages to gliding so it’s not p2w for those that dont have HoT. It’s slow enough where people can see you gliding in. it’d be pretty hard to do a fly by suprise attack. even if they do just bomb the kitten outta them

If anything it just allows people to get around the map faster which i like especially on a slow af guardian. im sure necros appreciate it as well

mistsim.2748:

Zerg-busting groups aren’t too viable due to the immense power creep HoT brought, including the removal of condi caps. People just get blown up, no matter how tight they play with their guild.

it’s possible, people just need higher capacity

Lucidity. She was always 6 months ahead of the meta and farmed the guild HOPE when she was in Apex. she’ll beat anyone in a mental 1v1. MVP for sure.

Delete this thread. just another thread where this particular OP asks for EZ mode handouts. Why should you be rewarded for dieing? so basically you want a participation award for losing.

“I died, pls anet reward me”

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

I want them to change it because i think it hurts the direction of gw2. Trying to change it is also an option as well.

not sure it hurts it. so far it’s brought new people into wvw and brought some old players back, which was their intent … whether or not people stay is something to be seen. its been good so far, they do need to redo the linkings to adjust to the new populations but thats a different subject

pve side of gw2 is already healthy since anet has only been focusing on that for last 2 years.

Okay I can sort of agree 2000 is a bit high, I only play wvw in this game and im not even rank 2k, granted i was mainly in fight guilds and gvg guilds so not much ppt. also took a break from gw2 after season 2. I think if they lowered it to 1500 , it would be a reasonable rank. It’s high enough to keep it exclusive for a bit to appease veteran wvwers.

Chasind.3128:

1500-2k to me is reasonable, any lower is begging. Get off the easy train.

agree i think 1500 would be reasonable

i think they could lower the rank to like 1500 and be fine. high enough to be exclusive towards veterans.
The reason why most veteran wvwers dont want the rank requirement lowered is because of people like OP who want ez handouts cause they played a total of 360 hours in wvw over 5 years.

I think the bigger problem is how much you have to play every week to get the maximum of 175 skirmish tickets. Essentially you’ve got to play between 2 and 4 hours every single day, give or take based on rank and server success. It shows that these end-of-the-line rewards are definitely for the people who already play WvW all the time, and are intended to be an extremely distant final reward for people starting up the gamemode. However, I don’t think your average human being has 3 to 4 hours to spend solely on WvW every day.

isn’t the whole point to reward those that play/ have played wvw loyally? just like the legendary armor rewards those that do raids or basically any other legendary before rewarded people who grinded pve. for those complaining about getting ranks, you think wvwers enjoyed map comp? Pvers got their rewards for years, let wvwers have theres

I’m not one of those people complaining because I can’t get the rewards. I don’t PvE at all, I am a loyal WvW player- it’s funny you assume I’m a PvEr. I’m talking about people who can’t spend 4 hours a day on GW2 in total regardless of their preferred gamemode. People have school, jobs, commutes, family, friends, lives. That doesn’t always translate into having 4 hours to spend in a game every day.

fair enough, sorry to have assumed. ive been playing wvw for the past 4 years with some breaks on and off and im not even rank 2k (1.8k i think) so i can understand. im sure anet will adjust the pips and maybe lower the rank requirement to like 1.5k. i just think some people like the OP are just expecting handouts cause they ventured into wvw once a month

sorry man 360 hours in 5 years is not a lot…

I’ve been playing games for 25 yrs now 500 hrs for me in wvw and I’ve mastered 99% of the game mode, telling me I need to spend another 1500 hrs is ridiculous when I’ve already mastered it after about 50 hrs.

140 more hours in wvw in the last 5 minutes. impressive. sounds like you just want easy mode handouts. I hate grind in MMOs but this one isnt even bad if you actually played wvw consistently. At least come in with a valid argument and dont change your story. 360 hours in 5 years means you played 72 hours of wvw a year… please. ANET PLZ JUST GIMME LEGENDARY I PLAY WvW for 6 hours a month!

OK I’m rank 364 u do the math? 300 hrs 400hrs ,500hrs which number seems about right? How many hours do u think it takes a veteran gamer to play well at this game mode, how man more hours until it becomes egregious?

the rank has never had to do with player skill… it’s always been about amount played. theres people with rank 3k+ who are terrible. lets say you played 500h of wvw that means you averaged 8.3 hours a month.. thats not a lot at all. your average wvwer will probably average 3-4 hours a day in wvw.

just pop some boosters and hop in the EBG ktrains.

No. It’ll just be a bunch more PvE stuff we have to grind and pay $60 for. After a month it will be back to abandoned gamemode. and another year of promises that wont ever be fulfilled.

There’s like 2 or 3 people on the WvW team, there isnt gonna be any new content.

yea.. im not sure this will make things better. dont get me wrong, manual glicko adjustments havent been good either but this just sounds like a recipe for servers tanking so they dont have to fight certain servers (mainly Mag). this will possibly lead to even more dead maps

still doesnt solve stacking or imbalance. it’ll just be like seasons where everyone stacks into same guild (server) to get rewards. no difference

I disagree.

if you limit guild size than yea but people stack servers now and there’s no rewards… add rewards to that. explain how people wouldnt stack?

people are always gonna stack to win, no one likes losing.

if you are counting on players to balance themselves, good luck.

I don’t understand with the stack issue you’re brining up. The big WvW guilds have been moving in and out of different servers since the beginning of gw2 release. It’s been like that forever.

As for the balance issue, all tiers look well balanced these days.

if you don’t understand how stacking is/ has been an issue in wvw then you clearly dont wvw enough.

thats how you get powerhouses like BG a couple months ago when anet wisely opened it or maguuma with 5 big NA guilds now while most servers have 1 or 2. Fighting an overstacked BG and Maguuma for weeks pretty much destroyed TC. pretty much all of TC’s major guilds are gone or maybe you remember when 4 large T1 guilds piled into YB and devastated Tier 2 and left SOS and FA to suffer for months after.

but sure it’s not an issue. as for balance i mean all those posts about unfair matchups and linkings i guess are just made up

How is TC getting destoryed BG and Magumma’s fault? What about Jade Quarry? What about other tier 2 and tier 3 servers like SBI that can compete very well at tier 1? Nothing can work out perfect. Anet is doing well controling the server population.

because guilds & players stacked into BG and Maguuma…BG had 24/7 coverage no other server could compete with. do you seriously not understand what stacking is? TC couldnt compete at all but was stuck in that matchup for weeks so people fairweather or leave the server to get out of the tier. JQ up until relinks had 1 NA guild SF. SBI is competing in T1 because they have 4+ NA guilds who PPT all day.

if you really think anet is doing a good job balancing population then lol….

game is clearly balanced off PvE. PvE used to be all zerker. whatever changes are made to make pve better are not necessarily good for wvw and pvp and often affect it negatively. unfortunately anet doesnt seem to care enough about wvw to think about those effects, i dont pvp much but it seems they’ve abandoned that too.

no matchup threads please

Frost.5017:

I got this one:

“Hey DevilishLyx, thanks for your post, but could you hold your question and post it on reddit during the AMA following the next living story release? It’s easier for us to ignore you there along with the other wvw questions. Thx, <3 and cookies.”

yes but then they tell us to use the official forums for best way of feedback/ communication where we are also ignored or censored.

I believe YB has some older players. there is a guild called PAL there which i believe are all older adults (someone correct me if im wrong).

slamfunction.7462:

Couple things:
- You can’t demand raid attendance. People will ultimately leave your guild, if they can’t come and go as they please. Plus, your raid nights might not work out for everyone. They might be able to make 1-2, but not 2-3.
- Stop server hopping. Yeah, yer lookin for fights, but if your goal is to hop servers every 1-2 months, then people who joined your guild, who are dedicated to the server they play on, aren’t going to want to stick with you
- Its all about the dailies. Not everyone plays for the gratification of smashing n00bs to the ground. Each player has goals; get stuff, have fun, etc. If you are all about the fights, and nothing but the fights, then those people who want their dailies, while working with your WvW raid, are just going to step out, roam for the their WvW dailies, and move on.
- Fight guilds need to be more pronounce about their intentions. If all they do is fight, then your comments to new recruits and etc should be, “You won’t get many in-game resources from raiding with us, but you might possibly get alot of bags, if we do well…and of course, if we aren’t getting repeatedly destroyed by raids twice our size…which does happen quite frequently.” I’m sure there is just as many people who would not join you, once this realization is made.

then dont join a fight guild… everything you listed is what fight guilds are not. fight guilds play for fights and wvw exclusively. if you join a fight guild expect to raid a lot (although most fight guilds now raid 3 days a week, cause wvw is dead).

most guilds if you ask the commander to they will do a daily but ofc its up to the leader

Malerian.8435:

BAHAHA w/e y’all were not good enough to win fights in T1. Making excuses and going to the Guild Arena or EOTM simply means you need to get good!

no matchup threads please

all my guilds are dead and guilds will continue to die. when the gamemode has had no support/ content except a new map which no one likes since season 2 there’s only so much guilds can do before they give up. less and less drivers want to spend the effort to lead a guild because there is no incentive to, recruiting is a struggle— guilds now just hope for another guild to die so they can pick up their players, metas based off of PvE skill balance, manual glicko adjustments which ruin matchups and opening servers which should be full and closing ones that should be open, and no communication between developer and playerbase. same promises for over a year and nothing has happened.

RIP game.

Gaile if you read this, your activity and responses in this thread are what people are asking for. Anet doesnt have to give away future developments but we want communication.

Because there is lack of communication and really a lack of major development other than siege fixes or manual glicko changes that have rendered empty maps.( I think out of the 3 times i raided this week there was 1 fight. ) We, as a playerbase have been getting told “things are coming” & “talk on the forums” yet we either get banned or havent seen the changes we’ve been asking for. The more frustrated and impatient people get the more complaints and toxicity you will see.

I understand Anet is a business and from a business perspective the PvE side of the game is probably what drives the profits thus resources are poured into development for that. I think It’s just really disappointing to see a gamemode with so much potential feel like it’s been left to rot for the last 2 years.

just have to make sure you corrupt whoever youre going to epi, you can still get rekt by it

i generally dont feel bad if things happen to YB, but they were technically punished for playing WvW too much?? lol makes sense…

honestly probably BG, since their coverage is stacked 24/7, but it’s closed. id say Mag, TC or JQ are your best choices. JQ just closed so you’ll have to see.

RIP ascalonian mage tonics, you will be missed

i heard Crystal Desert has more golems and is super strong in T4. anet please open BG. #theonlylogicalsolution

Aeolus.3615:

That remmidns the war of emperium from RO.
good old times :\ and lots of lag :], altough castles were a very important thing in that game.

war of emperium hype RO was the kitten. WvW reminded me of RO and made me play GW2

back to OP’s idea, problem with this is people would just stack a race to get buffs/ rewards and win skirmishes. would be no different than people stacking servers now or during the seasons. eotm system works because its random every week for the most part and honestly is what they should do to prevent stacking and make matchups more balanced but people and their server pride, probably wont ever happen.

i put a ftp account on EU a while back to test, was getting like 120ms ping but it was in PvE and it was connected to the server in Texas still so Im not sure if that changes a lot if you go into WvW. I live on the west coast but ping should be less if you live on the east coast

definitely blackgate, it’s it’s fine its okay tho because anet will probably open your server again cause you know Crystal Desert is so strong right now in T4, with their massive population
