TBH I’d rather y’all work on something more constructive. Like scoring or balancing or even getting rid of the deployable cannons. Changing names doesn’t really sound like it’d bring any sort of benefit to WvW…. Really.
But if I had to choose, I’d go with Option 2 (with some adjustments)…
Option 1 sounds like instead of just the guest server(s) losing their server identity, all the servers do! \o/ Not really appealing, especially when we just end up changing pairings every couple months.
Option 2 sounds the best of the three (despite how boring it’d be to fight colors and to identify as a color) but I have no idea why “the color designation would replace the ‘host’ world’s name in almost all areas except within announcements.” What if there are no guilds? Or it’s a multiserver guild? Or no one recognizes that guild? No one wants to memorize guilds. Actually, can you get rid of the announcements altogether? Or at least make them more transparent and smaller and less likely to impede vision?
Option 3 just sounds like a mess. “When objectives are captured it would now display the guest world’s name.” So if it’s like a host server group that captured a keep, it’d still show the guest world? Sounds so arbitrary. Like…“hey, guest server! You still have no server identity but we’ll add you to the footnotes to appease you but in the process trod on some host servers’ toes too.”
Edit: Ooh! I really like Jim Hunter’s idea above.
“Color and server abbreviation. For example this week in T2 you would have Red Gold Soldier AR, or Red Gold Soldier YB.”
Looks like I was struck so hard I ended up stuck in…well…the terrain? It was as if an invisible wall had popped up. I couldn’t hit people, and they couldn’t hit me (although I DID end up dying to a necro’s marks later).
Edit: Happened on 2016-11-01 at 10:49 PM Central time in the Eternal Battlegrounds.
Just in one fight, I downed one guy four times but his buddies kept rezzing him. Please, oh please give us the equivalent of a stomp for underwater combat.
My burst skill is still going off by itself, also, even when I’m just spamming 1. Which is really annoying when I depend on it landing to remove my conditions. :/
I tried to rezz people while out of combat, but every time I tried to “Revive” I’d suddenly end up in combat mode.
I’ve walked away to get OOC again and attempted to revive, but it’d put me back in combat the moment I’d press “F”. No enemy around, combat log free of damage, and other people able to rezz.
This would happen randomly, as well. Most of the time, I’d be able to successfully rezz. It’s happened yesterday and today, so I doubt it has to do with the Skirmish patch.
Not sure if this is related to the patch, but WvW got really laggy after the patch. My fellow WvWers and I have been getting a 3 second delay on skills with everyone rubberbanding all over the place.
So. Much. Rubberbanding.
It’s making it rather difficult to land hits when you think you’re about to land a skill and then the enemy jumps to an entirely different location. The entire fight. Even when they’re in the downed state, they rubberband.
You have all your server’s commanders and your partner servers’ commanders on your friend list for when you need to send out the SOS. (And they respond!)
You’re ecstatic to find a real-time stream of the enemy zerg movement on twitch which leaves you free to scout the third server’s movements
I had this issue too! Shiverpeaks Explorer said for the longest time I was missing a location, but I still got the achievement when I finished the Central Tyria map completion.
I’ve noticed that sometimes my greatsword 5 will rush me in a completely different direction from my target.
If I’m lucky, it’ll send me past my target. Or next to my target. If I’m not lucky, I’ll end up veering to the side or even in the opposite direction to somewhere behind me. [RIP that one time it sent me off a cliff.] Yes, I have my opponent targeted. No, I haven’t noticed this in PvE mainly because I’m usually in WvW. And I do not recall what skills I have been doing before this happens.
Also, my shield 4 has been acting funny too. I’ll notice it removes immobilize but it doesn’t do the leap at times. Even if I have no conditions on me, the shield won’t close the gap. I am not sure if that’s a matter with latency/lag, though, as it seems many people are having issues with their skills not going off.
The dolyaks have been super buggy since yesterday.
Sometimes I’ll see a dolyak moving along the road, but I won’t be able to interact with it [ghost dolyak!]. And the mini map will show the dolyak in a different location.
Other times, a dolyak would spawn from nowhere. Literally just crawl out of the ground in the middle of the road like some sort of demented hell-spawn dolyak and go on its merry way.
“Squad only commander tags, visible on the map to only those in the squad.”
Yes, please! This would be even better if commanders could toggle a setting to let the tag be visible to the map (for pugmanders) or only to those in squad (guild/havoc/those wanting to avoid tag-watchers).
Another nice QoL feature would be to have the ability to change tag colors while in squad. If I wanted to change colors right now, I’d have to leave the squad, change the color, then rejoin the squad. Also, more colors please!
