You should ban their accounts and/or at least remove any titles earned between Season 5 and Season 7 when the leaderboards and new rewards were introduced, along with the Dishonor penalty. People who cheat to win should be harshly punished, it’s the only way to prevent it from happening in the future.

A commander is choosing to tag up. In their squad, it’s their rules. If the commander wants their squad in voice, that’s perfectly fine. You have a choice to join or not.

Not all voice comms are the same. Some are toxic, some aren’t. Please stop painting everyone with the same brush.

Play the way you want. Don’t join voice. But don’t be upset if that choice has consequences.

If you think voice doesn’t matter, then tag up and textmand. Set your own squad rules. That’s your choice, too.

If the commander wants their squad in TS, I have no choice. See the flaw in your logic? I have no choice. I cannot join, and that’s what I want, and their is no reason why I shouldn’t be allowed in to a non-full squad. I can’t play the I want. I am upset. Their rude choices made bad consequences for me and everyone else in TC that day. I can’t tag up – I don’t have 300 gold lying around. It’s not my choice. I don’t have it. I don’t want to lead a squad anyway. So now what? I go off to the corner to play some other mode or by myself? Well, how great for me and everyone else similarly situated.

What is your primary reason for being so reluctant to join Teamspeak? Why can’t you join it even if you don’t want to say anything? If it’s some form of social-anxiety, you could just join, listen in, and you’d be able to be a part of the squad without any pressure. That seems like a fair compromise, doesn’t it? To me it seems like you just have a case of the “Burger-King mentality” you want it YOUR way and if it’s not YOUR way it’s not acceptable. That is very narrow-minded.

commanders kicking Rangers and Thief

How do you expect to contribute positively to the fight when you play those kinds of classes in zerg fights?

By keeping other thieves like me off a commanders back, or stealth fast rez them when they get sniped. There’s maybe two decent builds that a thief can stay in zerg mostly with but we’re better floating near and tethering in and out. Commanders could suggest in map however that anyone not in squad form a group or second squad if they want to crank out their reward track still.

I feel like you’d be more useful…

[A]: On another class that can directly benefit the a squad-party, and help with squad composition (i.e. filling needed class roles for each group).

OR

[B]: Picking off roaming groups trying to snipe the people who inevitably trail behind the majority of the squad when moving from objective to objective and get focused during fights for being far outside the main group. Also finishing downs on the periphery always helps when it comes to winning the rally-game.

If removing it isn’t feesable then Edge of the Mists should only be traveled to when the regular 4 WvW maps are all full.

Unavoidable queues are great way to reduce server stacking and spread population across the rest of the servers. Will also diversify matchups.

Well that’s your assumption, I’d venture the data would only partially agree. Some people would transfer but others would view the cost to transfer as tedious socially and economically. These people may just not play the game mode at all instead of transferring. In the end, this would only hurt WvW from a macro perspective.

“Going back to TS, … it can be a little frustrating when you don’t get a group, but it should not deter you from playing.”

A little frustrating? When you want to play in a not-full squad, being booted is more than frustrating – it’s humiliating, demoralizing, isolating, maddening – worse than last guy picked on a team. Having a disability I fully understand what it is to get picked on, but to endorse and rationalize this behavior with reasonable articulateness doesn’t make it any less abusive.

“When I first started to WvW way back whenever I had no idea what was going on because I didn’t know TS was being used, but I followed commanders whether they wanted me there or not. I asked questions about what to do and generally had a good time. "

When I started beta WvW and ever since, no one used TS and we all did fine – we won tournaments (2 full zergs vs. our zerg in our keep) and no TS cept a few players. I understand TS is helpful – but it should never be an exclusionary tool – esp when banishing a player to run beside a non-full squad w/o benefit of protections is inane and nonsensical. Doesn’t cmdr want benefits of whatever I bring to the table? Don’t they want me to stay alive and help out? Banishing me to the zerg hinterlands to survive on my own seems counter-productive to the zerg/server goal. I’ve yet to hear good reason as to why TS should be (or if an elitist cmdr desires it) …. mandatory!

“I have known commanders for remembering names and allowing access into groups despite not being in TS because they have shown they can hold their own and can provide without a voice communication system.”

Oh wow, only wish I was good enough to prove my merit and get in a squad. If only I was a better player at WvW (or GW which I’ve been playing since gw1 beta). So wistful. I promise to try harder. Gimme a break. 10 skills, run, hit door, hit/kill players, heal, move, build, supply up, go. Hard stuff. After 5 yrs of WvW 3 x a week, I got it. No one criticized my play; it wasn’t why I was booted. I hope I find a cmdr who sees the good in me, and allows me into their not-full squad, tho I must admit, I don’t think I’ll be able to “provide” anything w/o TS.

“So say you are not in TS or squad … ; a cmdr might ask you to tank up even tho commander’s own group is a bit more glassy. It’s not that cmdrs don’t want to help.”

If a cmdr boots me, I will do nothing to help him out. Makes for bad blood. Makes me hate the game; Anet allows it and silently endorses it. If a cmdr wants my help, and my heals/skills/kills, he needs to not exclude me from his precious non-full squad.

“They do not care that you are hearing impaired.”

Nice. They must all be proud. Pick on the disabled, elderly, stupid, w/e. It’s a casual game. It should be played by all to the best of ability within level of desire/ commitment to play. I want to play. I give my all. Yah, kitten me, off to the curb I go.

“As harsh as that may sound commanders use squads and TS as a way of organization.
If there is no communication the group falls short of what it can do.”

It is harsh. You might want to rethink your priorities. You’ve just admitted a person trying to play a game that doesn’t advertise it requires TS to play certain game modes as intended gets to face a “harsh” reality of: we don’t want you, go away because your disability/inability to access TS makes you unwanted. It’s not the harshness of your words that’s offensive or cruel, it’s the harshness of your endorsement of prejudicial, unkind, and abusive behavior.

You’re taking what this person said waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too personal (equating usefulness to joining Teamspeak). If you don’t like what the person said just maintain your dissenting point of view and try to enjoy the game. If you don’t want to join Teamspeak then don’t. After all, you bought your own copy of the game, just play WvW the way you want to. Other people cannot control whether or not you join Teamspeak. Why are you letting one persons opinion bother you so much?

EoTM isn’t WvW, lacks many features of WvW, hence should not have WvW rewards. The sheer existence of EoTM is bad for WvW.

FYI, there are servers on EU with no queues during primetime and outnumbered buff all day long. Roamer paradise. Cheap transfer included.

Edge of the Mists was created to be an instanced based WvW map for population overflows. I agree though, I’d rather it not exist at all since it just takes people out of the game mode (although this was a bigger problem in the past). If removing it isn’t feesable then Edge of the Mists should only be traveled to when the regular 4 WvW maps are all full.

Pips should be based on active gameplay

in WvW

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

For ex, you flip a camp, you get a buff that gives you +1 pip for 5 mins, if 5 mins pass and you dont flip another camp, you lose that pip. say the same for +2 pips for tower, +3 for keep, +1 for killing player, +1 for killing yak, etc etc.

This way, it will force people to constantly do something instead of just flip 1 camp then afk. The outnumberd buff can be something like if you have 3 active buffs while being outnumbered, you gain +3 pips.

This way, it will make people play, and make the reward track( tickets) more achievable and less tedious if you are particularly active.

Bad idea especially since this could penalize players for a lack of activity from the OTHER two servers they are up against. Plus penalizing people in general is not perceived well and I only think it works in the most competitive places such as PvP leaderboards. WvW has a more diverse population in terms of play style so this wouldn’t work well.

commanders kicking Rangers and Thief

in WvW

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

Ok so I love playing WvW and have from the beginning.

So this is what has happened twice now where a commander (and this in Not new commanders) comes to a map and started asking people to join the squad and then after a while when they have a decent sized squad they started kicking Rangers and Thiefs from the squad. I PM them to ask what’s going on and the one response I go was you are a Ranger and the other one did not bother to respond.

That is messed up!

I usually just put thieves, rangers (not druids), and mesmers (not chronos) in their own squad party and leave them be. To be honest though it’s tough to find usefulness out of certain classes in WvW for zerg fights especially in this meta. How do you expect to contribute positively to the fight when you play those kinds of classes in zerg fights?

I’ve been on CD for maybe a year now through all types of fluctuations and i stay because i love it. It’s home. both my self and my guild even if we are small have poured our hearts into CD. Tonight a blanket statement was made by someone i respect that’s a major voice on CD even if that respect only goes in one direction. That if you don’t use TS than your not an asset because you aren’t really helping. I’m sure a lot of people feel that way. I know its a big help in wvw. But it was really the first time in a year i felt like wow kitten my server.

Even if we were roamers which we aren’t we are a small ops guild of seasoned vets that responds to all major calls from tags and larger guilds for aid. I feel like that’s a pretty big kitten you to people that put in time and effort but don’t use TS. I guess i just needed to vent because if I didn’t i was gonna seethe about it until i moved my entire guild to a new server.

You “needed a place to vent”? Are you just looking for people to agree with you? Anyone who’s commanded long enough will tell you that being in voice comms (whatever platform) will allow both yourself, and the group to be more reactive and organized. What is untrue about that? If you didn’t like what this person had to say then who cares just ignore it. Why QQ about it to get attention? Whoever this person is was correct to an extent anyways.

Edge of the Mists ruined WvW the first time when it was given all the same rewards as the regular maps and in some cases, like badges, better reward opportunities. Edge of the Mists should be secondary to the main 4 WvW maps. If you give Edge of the Mists the same incentives as the regular maps (which they did in the past), then no one will feel motivated to participate on the regular maps. If Arenanet has learned their lesson with Edge of the Mists then they won’t make Edge of the Mists compete with the main 4 maps. Queuing up still gives you the opportunity to work on other things in the game while you wait, perhaps you could work on PvE content while you’re in queue.

Nerf Guardian PVP

in PvP

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

I USED … not played against … USED Guardian in pvp with a trap medi Longbow build and I felt like a GOD (sadly).. there was probably no reason for anyone to even come near me since once the traps hit them they either melted, or if they could get away, I would simply shoot them once for the kill and reset my traps for the next person. Something that happen in about 7 out of 10 matches is that the other team would simply give up on the point and not even bother since the build (which I have seen others using) is insanely cheese. Even if my health was dropped down to half or a bit lower .. I would somehow heal to 100% in the blink of an eye, meaning that my opponent who put in the effort and got me down low, while getting low himself will not recover his HP as quickly as I will and will most likely lose the fight. Not to mention one match where I tried a Burn Dragonhunter Build, same thing happened.. no one botered going to the point after a while and with only 7 stacks of burn, if my opponent was unable to cleanse, it would only take 4 to 5 ticks to down them. There is no way this is Balanced in the slightest.

I’m making this Topic because I like a challenge and I like a fight, not having the upper hand simply because my class is, without a doubt, stronger and simply makes no sense to fight.

In summary, the OP doesn’t even understand how Guardian works because he/she cannot explain how damage or healing occurred. Guardian is not overpowered you are exaggerating excessively probably to fit your narrative because you do not like having to fight Guardian/DH. This post is pure whining there’s nothing of substance here…

How do I make sPvP at all enjoyable?

in PvP

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

My current sPvP experience is to join a game, promptly lose the mid teamfight, and then struggle to get more than 10 points in the rest of the match (literally, I’ve got 10 total points my last two games despite downing 15+ players) before losing 500-50 or so.

I’m on a 6 game losing streak at the very beginning of Sapphire. The teams are visibly imbalanced every game I play.

In actual fights, I enjoy watching Druids and Guardians passively proc invulns, blinds, blocks, etc., while S-keying around doing significant damage.

How do I make GW2 fun? Do I have to pay someone? I know this game is pretty focused on the Gemstore, but kitten .

“How do I make sPvP at all enjoyable…”

Simple, change your expectations. Try to work on improving your own play and understanding the PvP game mode instead of worrying about the wins and losses as much. You are 1 of 5 players on your team. You could have your best game ever on a certain class and at your level and still lose the game. This is the big issue with most PvP players, everyone expects a win 100% of the time but it just isn’t going to happen. If you focus on really mastering your class then you will have real goals that you can achieve over time and it will make you a better player. I’d also recommend that once you have learned a class well to try out others. Multi-classing may not be for everyone but it will help you be a better player and know how to respond to other classes much better than you otherwise would.

Matchmaking explained

in PvP

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

As for what changes would most improve leagues, you’ll have to wait for more info on that.

We’re 4 seasons in and we still get stuck 4 DH vs 4 druids instead of placing 2 of each on each teams. I mean these things are really basic it shouldn’t take 1 year to fix. Anet said in season 1 that class stacking was something you are looking into. I mean we are having games now where there are 5 dragon hunters on a single team, and none on the other, and everyone was solo queue.

What a ridiculous statement to make, there is nothing “basic” about your expectations. How could Arenanet balance for class stacking and allow players to swap classes at the same time? You can only have one or the other and I’d rather be able to play multiple classes and swap when I feel it is necessary than be confined to one class because of some arbitrary lock. Anyone on either side of the match you described could have swapped classes…doesn’t sound like they did. That doesn’t mean Arenanet needs to change the way a match is setup because you lost or whatever.

Durability Runes + Damage Reduction

in WvW

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

There is no such thing as backline any more because of the two things listed in the title. As much as I wasn’t a fan of the pirate ship meta Pre-Hot, its gone too far the other way. Front-lines have become completely unkillable unless everyone in the zerg single targets a single individual which means that 30v30 fights (organized guild groups) can legit last 20+ minutes and if you are close to a spawn with people running back, it WONT end.

Right now front-lines are sitting at permanent 43% damage reduction (permanent protection cuz durability plus 10% damage reduction food) with about 50% uptime on 60% damage reduction (Great Dwarf plus 10% damage reduction food). And on top of this they have permanent resistance between durability runes and Pain Absorption with facet of nature popped (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Pain_Absorption).

SO to sum it up, 60% damage reduction, permanent resistance and protection, plus heals coming from guardians, druids, and tempests. Its just too much. You guys nerfed pack runes yet leave durability completely untouched.

For those that need to see a video to realize how ridiculous this has become:

https://youtu.be/hl9_NYnj5yU

This is a resistance issue over anything else. The full immunity is crap. If you could slow down melee trains with chill, cripple, and immobilize and resistance only affected the damaging conditions or damaging portions of a condition (with conditions like poison) then WvW would be more balanced and not lop-sided towards melee trains.

Unrelenting Assault Bug?

in Revenant

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

If you turn your character + camera while Unrelenting Assault (Sword 3) is active it will stop the skill from finishing. It’s important to be able to pan your camera while using this skill so that you can be facing correctly versus your target at the end of the cast for things like Surge of the Mists. Is this a bug?

Is anyone else noticing this issue?

[PvP] Builds That Got You to Legendary

in Guardian

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

standard meditrapper
marauders
73% win rate to legendary, was at 94% in early diamond, all solo

pretty much I avoided mid fights as much as possible and won most of my 1v1s and rotated to +1 or defend.

Early on in the PvP season when there were very few of us in diamond let alone legend, you and Naru were literally the only two people on NA that I saw playing guard effectively throughout a number of matches.

Perhaps things changed as more people came down the pipeline but I feel like Guardian needs to be on par with Scrapper when it comes to 1v1 or 1v2/generally speaking side-point play.

Although I sparingly played Guardian this season I used the following build to get some of my wins to legend:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQJATSnsABVDhVdCmDB8DhlEi6aZDgEIL/+vAUe5j+sH-TJBFABls/AAPBAxLDUwlAAA

If the enemy composition was 4 or 5 condition players I might swap out Test of Faith for Contemplation of Purity but I do feel that the trap is more ideal against most situations.

I also used Sword/Focus instead of Hammer sometimes but I did enjoy the lock-down of hammer and the utility of the weapon.

I found that Shelter and Renewed Focus gave me significantly more opportunity to fight Revenants and Thieves in particular when defending a point solo, so that is why you see them in the build over the trap-heal or trap-elite.

Wont happen as it will affect gem sales.

Anet have the airship pass in the gem store, which has all the crafting stations in one place. SO they’ll wait to see if people buy those.

Yes they werent selling due to people able to just port to WvW, but now if there is a demand for such an area, and such an area currently exists but require buying a pass, well then they’ll expect people to buy gems for that pass.

Use of the airship pass causes you to LOSE YOUR PLACE in the world. Ergo, it is not a replacement for the convenience that has been lost.

(If you went into WvW and then left it, you returned to the exact place in the world where you were standing when you decided to enter WvW).

The Airship Pass/Royal Terrace argument always seems to omit the actual reason people used WvW crafting.

Yes holding up a WvW player position for perhaps a long duration of time while you craft is really a “convenient” thing to do (sarcasm).

You should be going into WvW ready to go (food, gear, traits, skills, etc.) not going into WvW unprepared and thinking “okay I think I will go ahead and craft here for an hour and hold up a players spot in the map because I am a special snowflake.”

I’m explaining the why, not offering a value judgment.

Actually you were arguing in favor of convenience which is why I replied in the first place.

The problem is not going to LA to craft. It’s coming back.
I have characters all over the map, each there for a purpose. If I have to move them to LA and back each time I have t craft something, it really gets tiresome.
And I’m not even talking about the loading time of LA…

And seriously, changing this after almost 4 years is really sadistic.

So go craft before or after you decide to go into WvW so you don’t have to back out in the middle of your WvW session? Like seriously who is playing WvW and randomly gets struck from behind by a crafting-bug and goes “oh I really need to craft right now, but oh no the queue!” Its called preparedness, you should have things like your gear and food ready to go when you are in WvW and you should already be doing this, especially after 4 years. . . .

Keeping Legends in the Game

in PvP

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

To tackle a few replies here.

I like the idea of unlocking a “Legend only reward track.” This would certainly cater to the casual population as well as those HC that care about golds and shinies. Though, I still very much like the idea of a division with a competitive amount of slots available.

The issue of having a small number of slots then heavily incentivizing grouping up to assure spots on the Masters Division is an interesting one. Obviously, we are no longer at a point were splitting Solo/Team queue is a good idea—I think the population in higher divisions would suffer greatly if that happened. Perhaps, it could be a Solo/Duo only division such that any game played with a roster of size 3+ does not count towards your placement.

Why lock higher end rewards to a single division? I’d rather have more people playing pvp whether they are in legend with me and you or not. I really just want to see reward tracks that allow for all the stuff to make an account bound precursor and/or all the stuff to make legendary armor. Not everyone wants to PvE, yet we are forced to if we want to earn the most rare items in this game its stupid. I don’t mind some stuff being specific to PvE like the fractal back piece but they should give PvP new maps, and reward tracks that actually are for earning the same stuff as PvE players are working towards like legendary armor / precursor journey materials.

Anet’s fault for making vague statements, so that other misinterpret them. i mean how many players in forums have any clear idea how the MM works? i mean do u even see any post from Anet explaining things? aslo why is Anet so bad at transparency, everything has to be hidden or a secret. show players MMR after game instead of division so people saying they been group to losing team will stop. if they can see that the game MM is balance.

There wasn’t anything vague about the statement. It says, “opportunity”.

I have fulfilled all but one requirement for the wings. At only 377 games this season, I’ve taken it relatively easy it is true.

My current 22.3% Win rate is up from a low approaching 18%. That took a great deal of effort.

I’ve put in near employement hours in bursts into GW2 PvP during 3 seasons. In the course of it I’ve learned to have some basic ability in two new professions.

Still, the chances are rather slim to non existent that I can pass 4 divisions in the next 1 1/2 seasons with the matchmaking consistently putting me on the side scheduled to lose.

I’m hardly a casual player. It’s time to acknowledge that the wings really weren’t for “everyone” and that the matchmaking needs a conceptual change.

So you have literally 1 thing left to do and you made a thread to complain about it? I really do not understand that. I’ve played more games than you this season and I don’t even play everyday. Plus I play in legend where the queues can be pretty vicious at times.

Why don’t you just finish the last task and make your back piece?

I’ve noticed that you often refer to your individual stats when you talk about why you shouldn’t be losing so much. PvP is about a lot more than that, even on tempest. Everyone thinks that tempest is just button mashing but I can promise you that while I wouldn’t consider it the hardest class to play right now (I am used to elementalist, I played it for 45% of my games this season) you still have to do your job and do it well. I had a game last night where I lost 490 – 534 on legacy and I did 1,000,000 + damage on revenant and only received ~ 200,000 damage. I didn’t jump to the conclusion that we should have won that game. Our elementalist didn’t respond to the lord being rushed and we lost, that just comes down to a team mate not reading the map. We had the lead on them the whole game. Other things happen during a match is what I am basically saying and stats only tell part of the story.

Can you record? I’d like to see some footage of your game play because that is the easiest way to find errors.

I see a lot of tempests who might know how to do the basic heals but they don’t use their interrupts properly or on the proper target. Many tempests will also just sit mid and not rotate often enough. Your job is to support the team fight on whatever point it’s occurring at, not just mid. Sometimes you’ll have to hold a point 1v1 and you can’t rotate to the team fight but that comes down to reading the mini map, counting respawns and having an idea about where all 5 enemies currently are. A lot of tempests don’t know how to pay attention to their team mates health bars either and consequently these same tempest don’t know when to use rebound or an overcharge either. A lot of things go into tempest, its not complex on the surface but if you want to be extremely efficient there’s no way around knowing all the little details of the class and being in the right attunement at the right time. There’s more things than I feel like listing here but those are some examples.

Getting the back piece isn’t hard now that we have had 3 seasons to work on it. The ascension achievements aren’t that overbearing and you are almost there, just finish it.

This wouldn’t work, plus you’d just be making legendary x# into “Masters” division. Not a very appealing idea. I’d rather them just make playing pvp year round, especially during leagues more viable by allowing pvp players to work towards legendary armor tracks or precursor tracks, etc. I don’t care if they take a long time, I’d just like to see them be an option because pvp only has the backpiece to work towards right now and the champion brawler title as far as end game content/gear is concerned. The game mode also needs way more maps. Every competitive games I know of especially e-sports games have new maps come out regularly yet we have had the same rotation forever. The maps being bland really hurts the longevity of the game mode.

Anet: refuses to balance classes out, insists on certain classes being unable to do certain functions (e.g. thief can’t 1v1 nor hold point). Yet still insists on such games:

No one swapped? I play in legendary too, people generally are more willing to swap there or multi-class. . .I am surprised that no one did. Even so, how come you don’t swap off thief if you see 2 others?

What the leagues are for?

in PvP

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

PvP is a competitive game mode, the league system is a competitive system. Not everyone is going to achieve the highest league level (legendary divison) but the point is to encourage you to play PvP by providing a competitive construct that you can participate in. Think of it as a long tournament. Not everyone finishes first place but the point is to test your mettle which is what PvP has always been about. It may not be a perfect system but it works. Sure there are things to earn and having the legendary backpiece, the division icon, achievements, and titles are all great but if we are looking at the league system in a bare bones way then its purpose is to encourage a competitive environment for PvP players to test their own skills against other players and then have that skill displayed to everyone in Guild Wars 2 via a division icon. The extra things that come along with the PvP season just encourage participation.

More End-game Gear For PvP

in PvP

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

Why can’t we earn legendary armor materials in PvP? Right now we have the Champion Brawler title, legendary backpiece, and legendary rank. Thats great and all but I’d like to see us have the ability to work towards meaningful end-game gear as well. The reward track final rewards are pretty bland too.

For example, you get 10 aurillium for completing the Heart of Maguuma reward track but considering it takes hours to complete the track 10 aurillium is nothing. I can easily get over 1000 aurillium in that same amount of time.

There should be legendary weapons and armor tracks where you can earn materials for specific legendary weapons or armor. It doesn’t have to be a lot, it could be something that is equal to the PvE time investment but it should exist.

Why isn’t there any consistency in the rewards between game modes?

Make The Old WvW Titles New Achievements

in WvW

Posted by: MomentofWeakness.1246

MomentofWeakness.1246

Introduction:

Obviously we all know that the old WvW titles had issues because the numbers weren’t achievable but I still believe many of us desired at least one if not many of these titles. The old WvW titles had a lot of important aspects to them and for us WvW players they also gave us an identity (with respect to which title we display on our character).

If you think about PvP titles as an example, every profession has a “Champion [title name]” for each profession such as Champion Paragon. So basically PvP titles follow a theme/symbolic naming convention and so when other players see your character in PvE, PvP, or WvW with that title being displayed they can immediately link you to having PvP experience or perhaps they will go into the Hero Panel and discover the theme/titles that are linked to PvP if they weren’t aware of the title before.

I bring this up because the old WvW titles did this exact same thing. They operated off of a theme/symbolic nomenclature “Ultimate [title name]” and had they continued to exist people would have been able to make the same kind association that they currently can with PvP players towards another player displaying a WvW title as a WvW player.

The other great thing about the old WvW titles was not only their themed/symbolic nomenclature but the fact that the old WvW titles also described what we valued doing while in WvW (obviously the new titles use mostly the same kind of requirements so they also fill this purpose but to a lesser extent).

When these titles were removed I was pretty upset since I had been working hard on many of them since launch. Mike O’Brien said “We have always made a promise with Guild Wars 2 to respect players time and investments in their characters.” When we lost the old WvW titles and their names were changed it felt like all the time I had committed to the original titles had been purged since they changed the title names (I didn’t mind that they became more attainable for more players).

Suggestion/Idea:

My suggestion is that we bring these titles back, and allow them to be another form of “end-game” content for WvW players. Obviously we don’t want them to have their old requirements which were unreachable, but they can have additional requirements and a higher threshold than our currently existing WvW titles. For example, we could attach a WXP Points requirement to them as well (which would make it kind of nice to earn an achievement as you hit certain ranks). It would be really nice to have these back in the game and to be able to work towards them once again. I am someone who plays for fights and I have Ultimate Dominator but I am sure that many objective players would have loved to/would love to display titles such as Ultimate Defender, or Ultimate Vanquisher over their characters, if there was one I could earn right now it would be Ultimate Aggressor. Regardless of how you play WvW, these titles were sought by many of us and they should come back.

Not to mention, for WvW players who don’t focus on kills, these other “Ultimate [title name]” titles would be on the same level with Ultimate Dominator whereas right nothing rivals/competes with the Ultimate Dominator title.

A final point, WvW doesn’t have that many achievements anyways so adding these titles and some new achievements back into to the game would be refreshing and give us something new to work towards. Often when PvE content comes out there are new titles that go along with it, I am not asking for this level of frequency with respect to WvW but having the old titles back would be a nice start.

Here is the list of Old WvW Titles:

1. Realm Avenger: 250,000 Total Kills in WvW Title: Ultimate Dominator
2. Yakslapper: 1,000,000 Caravans Destroyed Title: Yakslapper
3. A Pack Dolyak’s Best Friend: 500,000 Caravans Successfully Escorted Title: Ultimate Chaperone
4. Realm Defender: 2,500,000 Total Supply Used in WvW Title: Ultimate Fabricator
5. Repair Master: 1,000,000 Total Supply Used for Repairs Title: Ultimate Technician
6. Master of Disaster: 1,000,000 Total Supply Used to Build Siege Title: Ultimate Besieger
7. Take Everything in Sight: ? Total Objectives Captured Title: Ultimate Conquerer
8. Going Camping: 100,000 Supply Camp Captured Title: Ultimate Raider
9. It’s Quite Roomy in Here: 100,000 Towers Captured Title: Ultimate Aggressor
10. All We See, We Own: 100,000 Keeps Captured Title: Ultimate Subjugator
11. King of the Castle: Captured Stonemist Castle ? Times (Greater Than 1,000 – T2) Title: Ultimate Liberator
12. Stay Out!: ? Total Objectives Defended (Greater Than 10,000 – T3) Title: Ultimate Vanquisher
13. Walls Get in the Way: ? Supply Camps Defended (Greater Than 1,000 – T2) Title: Ultimate Stalwart
14. Stopped Them Cold: ? Towers Defended (Greater Than 10,000 – T3) Title: Ultimate Defender
15. Nice View From Up Here: ? Keeps Defended (Greater Than 10,000 – T3) Title: Ultimate Protector
16. Stonemist Stands Firm—Again: Defended Stonemist Castle ? Times (Greater Than 10,000 – T3) Title: Ultimate Sentinel

Since the Yakslapper title is already in use, I think Ultimate Interceptor could be a good replacement. Like I said before obviously the numbers would have to come way down and perhaps we could add new requirements such as WXP ranks meeting a certain number but it would be great to have something new to work towards.

Please post your thoughts below. Would you like to see more achievements in WvW and do you like the idea of bringing the old titles back? Yes or No?
