Guild Wars 2

got the same problem, any ETA on a fix know already or not? ;-)

Bump.

We really want an answer concerning this.
Or an explanation why this has been published.

Got 5 disconnects in 10 min login time… just by standing in LA

Serious because of the megaserver it is more fun for PvE players to play world bosses etc because every server gets into the same instance untill its full.

For guilds yes it takes more organization and teamwork to get all members in the same instance but to me that is just wrong. Why would you punish guilds and their members for being a guild and want to do guild related stuff?
The organization and teamwork you are talking about is not what guilds want to spend time in. They just want to start guild missions and do them, no matter which guild mission they do, they always should be in the same instance. Also if a guild wants to kill a world boss or just want to run somewhere together as a guild then by all means make that possible. Even if that means ANet’s megaserver needs to create a new instance for this guild only then by God do it, this is just an enhancement for PvE players without guilds running guild missions or doing guild related stuff.
Don’t do it like it is now with hoping someone hits a overflow and all guild members need to taxi in… That is the worst possible thing ever introduced.

My guild used to do temple runs on a night. But due to the megaserver it is killed because of all servers coming into our usual temple run maps and now we had to decide to cancel our temple run because of the megaserver. So ANet thank you for that one.

Gonna give you right on this

- Guild halls
- GvG in guild halls not in WvW
- Guild dungeons as expansion to Guild missions

And my favorite which I really would like to see coming back is the GW1 kurzick/factions thingy.

Like now we have WvW and guilds can claim things for buffs etc.
But with GW1 we had kurzick/factions and guilds could claim things.
When another guild or enemy guild wants to take it over there was going to be some kind of GvG to determine who will take that spot.

If ANet can somehow make this work I think many guilds are quite happy, because the way I see it is that WvW is about to die because GvG’s are making their uprise now.
Guilds intend to play more as guilds hence less commanders tag up in WvW to guide pugs and rallybots. If more organised guilds are getting born and structured there definitely has to be something for them. So why not implement an old idea but giving it a new form? ^^
Also organised guild groups want to run on the same map because they know other guild groups can come to help if they need to. Therefore I liked the gw1 k/f thingy because you are fighting across a borderline, which you can think of an extreme big version of EB without SM or make SM into some kind of capital city with smaller objectives, so even smaller roaming groups can help in there.

@ANet for more info if interested just pm

Well I have been playing since the beginning in WvW, I have noticed all changes and I also noticed that ANet almost forced to do the changes known to many as “annoying”.
But that is just the problem if you are facing problems with lags,spikes etc.
When ANet gets control of the skill lag and spikes and rubber banding, then they can start thinking of all these things.
Ofcourse in an ideal situation they uncap skills so for example a warrior with hundred blades will attack an entire zerg and do damage to them all, like this was in GW1.

But let’s be realistic and stop whining because a 5-man group can’t win a 20-man group in the current situation.
This is all due to technical reasons.

At least what I am telling is what I am thinking.
Dont kitten on me and this post.
But my guts are telling me all these changes from beginning WvW untill now are just because technical issues.

And yes in my ideal GW2 WvW situation we get rid of borderlands and make 1 big WvW battle map where we all can play massive against each other without the cap on skills. So yes if I am defending a t3 tower with 4 of my guildies I expect to defend it against 30 players. The only way we can defend now is to supply trap the enemy and have enough siege in there so they won’t try PvD, and hold them untill the commander comes and whipe them… That in my eyes is no fun play at all, but I am still playing because I rely on technically not possible reason

-Skill lag, rubber banding, weapon lag, animation lag, everything….
-FSP
-No
-No
-Yes SM lordsroom / inner SM fights or when large battles (treeways) are in open field battle.
-lag is starting to occur when fighting 30 vs 30. Getting worse when fighting in the SM lordsroom with 60+ vs 60+ vs 60+ because its a small area to fight. Even disconnections are appearing at this moment and people need to get back into the queue of 50+ players…

Fighting with these numbers are causing lag on each borderland but in EB SM its getting the worse amount of problems…

Anet tx for the reply on my ticket, that was amazingly fast!

However it is still a shame that you cannot help me with this.
I know these things can also be abused, but those items in the screenshots were collected from the start of GW2 untill 6 days ago when they disappeared!

I am really really disappointed that after all good things you did in GW2, you can’t help on this one.

Owh crap, Anet please please please be so kind to help me with this.
I played this game since the start even with the presale and 3days headstart…

It took me around 1 year to collect all those items, there has to be something you can do?

Astral tx for the talking, I really appreciate people are feeling and thinking with me at this moment

But wait, Astral you say ANet can roll back players accounts, so they can see the moment the hacker took all items and rollback to that?

I am just thinking loudly because I really am upset about losing all that stuff

Q.Q and this is also rl tears….

Can someone make them as integrated images or something

I was already afraid for that, but still I just addressed this with a Support ticket because I might not be the only one with this issue.

@hackers, seriously if I face you in real life you will die an unfortunate death!

Dear Support I really need urgent help!

Today I just looked into my guild bank and found out that it was completely empty with all my special exotic armor from gw1 character names.
I looked in the log and it was withdrawn by a friend of mine.
But I talked to him and he said he did not played for over 2 months.

So in my eyes it is this situation:
1. His account is hacked.
2. The hacker plundered the guild bank. (6 days ago it all happened)
3. We both are now left behind with nothing…

All that work and money is gone…….

Please help me if you can…

I can make screenshots from the guild bank vault log if needed.

Anet,

I know you guys posted 2 news releases on this Spring Tournament.
And I have to say it is going to be quite interesting.

But when will there be a news release about some game specific changes, like:
- Will Anet reset ability points at the start of the tournament?

• TIP: just do it

- Will Anet place the Spring Tournament 2014 achievement meta under the category WvW or the Living World?

• TIP: placing it under WvW will reduce the presence of PvE players that only want achieves and will reduce the annoyance of WvW players against them

- Will Anet introduce new ability lines before/during or after the Spring Tournament?

• TIP: do it after the tournament. Not before, too less time to know the new ability lines correct and not during, thats going to be devastating and asking for QQ on the forums.

Maybe other players have some questions too then please post them here

(Anet sorry I could not help myself for also posting a personal tip for you guys )

I do hope we get some clearification soon (at least 1 week prior to start)

Volkon, I assume you are on a server which plays against other servers that don’t have proper PvD blobs?
FSP has encountered many PvD blobs/zergs in WvW and before the reinforcements arrive the blob/zerg can PvD down a gate in 10 seconds.

In EB that means owh anza is under attack wp back to keep then run to anza. That wp and run takes approx 30 seconds. They PvD the gate in 10 seconds and before reinforcements are there to help anza flips.
There are more examples from the other keeps but I give you this one ^^

Frans that is not even needed if Anet just somehow make PvD impossible or much harder to do.

Weaken attackers? if defenders kill enemy siege they deserve to win because the enemy group does not have any supplies left to build new siege and they cannot attack gates and walls with auto attack.

Sure it will be boring for people that are not on the siege but that is part of the game. Anet did not give us specific abilities for ram users because PvD will win anyways.

Anet is really busy in giving WvW boosts in terms of new abilities and extra ability lines.
But if they don’t remove the PvD it is almost useless to continue with those abilities.

@Vaugh, its on top of your wishlist but when PvD is gone it will be boring, well it might be boring but there might also be other things to do. Like scouting for enemies that want to enter the tower or even an enemy group that want to wipe you. Those scouts are needed hard and there are many more ways to encounter that boring part. You can even grab a drink in the meantime or go to the bathroom. But using rams in an well organized way you will get a T3 gate down in 10s.

@Monkeymonger, true to you first part about population. And you know why people dont want to defend, build siege and escort dollies? Because of PvD. Just join the karma train and PvD everything and capture everything. That is how WvW is now being played by many servers and guilds. But withouth PvD there will be more time put in the more important things like escorting dollies, building siege and defend something. Because without enemy siege the enemy should not enter!

Memphisjz,

Great post, I was waiting for someone to start with something like this.
Yes I totally agree with your stand, PvD has to go. Period!

It is not fun and not fair to defenders even if you have 5 defenders with siege in a tower. Yes I have been defending a lot but it is totally useless if they can steamroll through the gate and capture the tower without spending supplies on siege.

Like Memphisjz said if the defenders kill the enemy siege then the defenders should win, because the enemy should resupply and build new siege to get in the tower/keep. Not like: ‘Hey s**t we got no supply anymore to build siege, let’s just PvD and capture the tower!’

This kind of gameplay is 1) lame, 2) not fun and 3) will cost Anet a lot of players quitting this game.

I have read some incredible posts and replies in here which can surely be used to debate about this issue. But I have also read some really st*p*d posts and replies from players that don’t care about improving the game or not experienced enough in WvW.
To those players I can only say, don’t be so sad that you don’t get attention, play more WvW in some WvW focused guilds maybe then you understand why this thread has been made.
To the first group of players I want to say 1 thing and 1 thing only. We can convince Anet to remove PvD so every experienced player in WvW will have to rethink their strategy because PvD is gone!

Last thing Anet please, please, please remove PvD because it is going to cost you lots of players. Even if there are more players starting to play PvE the WvW community will die and I don’t think you guys want to have that!

And kenmei I guess you were not in FSP borderland yesterday prime time?

Because I am telling the truth and nothing but the truth. Like I said in the post above I have SOUL and AoA to back me up in this because we fought with skill and actually almost won with 50 players against 150 players divided in 2 servers.

So dont tell me I am hypocryte just try to get some skill in the Deso server.
I know this is a sensitive subject but he if you can’t face the truth than you better be quiet and leave this thread.

Bethryn I dont know which server/guild you are but this was the situation last night. Ofcourse I also say thank you for the awesome fights. AoA also had some good fights against a guild group only. So I am not entirely breaking you guys down only for the times when deso and gandara blobbed up together to fight FSP. I cannot help it that deso and gandara blob up and fight together against FSP. Examples enough in Garrison and Bay.
In garrison we were fighting Gandara, and after 5 minutes we got half of gandara killed and deso came inside to kill only FSP. Then they just left without even killing gandara and taking garrison.
Same goes to bay. We were killing deso at bay then they just ran aside group up and let gandara ran passed them towards FSP.

Srry but its just funny for me to see such lame things.
Dont tell me it is not true I got SOUL and AoA members to back me up in this.

Actually I still haven’t slept.
I played now for 14 hours straight.
I was so determined to win this matchup that I rallied as much people as possible and together we won.

Gratz to FSP, all of you have done outstanding work.
Gratz to FR, had amazing fights and fun.
Gratz to UW, had some small amazing fights and you guys amazed me with your comeback.

Everyone keep the good work and we will see you again ^^

[img]http://i.imgur.com/MDpzcQN.png[/img]

The fight is still not over people ^^
FSP gained 15k points and made the 25K point gap to only 10K point in 1 day/night.

Nice video Kronos.
Like to see a nice steamroll once in a while ^^

aZm, RTC, SVD ty all for the great fun at my event on FR border.
I really enjoyed this and hopefully we get more of this ^^

BTW you guys gave me 40 rare items and 0 exotics that is not funny ^^

Kudos ++++ for this UW quaggan

Being one of the many FSP WvW veterans. And I think I can speak for all of them at this moment. ArenaNet it is a shame that all those noob PvE’ers are screwing up our WvW. Stupid living story achievement!

If you only had placed it under WvW catagory so they did not see it that easily we could have had normal fights in WvW, no PvE noobs and to be honoust no freaking qeues.

I have waited yesterday for freaking 3 hours to get into at least 1 borderland… I am sorry to say this. Anet you failed us.

To FR server, blobbing is only because there are too many PvE noobs and you guys might have the same problem. Look at last week matchup. Such a close call. Both FR and FSP had great fights, equal numbers and more important no qeues so we could go anywhere we wanted.

To UW server, it’s a shame that you guys are not part of this matchup. It is now only FR vs FSP. Too bad in my opinion. Anet it might be an idea to just delete UW server from the WvW server list?

UW no problem. Can we get into your keeps now. We might win this match-up then ^^

EU realm.
Server: FSP

Like to see FR and Blacktide.

Blacktide has been a long long time already ^^
And FR because I like the baguettes ^^

Wait for the prime time events are over ^^.
It starts in 1 hour and ends 3 hours after it.

Then you will probably get some more posts in here.

BTW. GH gratz on taking SM from us.

Monkeymonger.9235:

We only had three i believe. The first one looked equal to me (although you probably had some pugs around so it looked more). For the ones in front of briar the difference must have been ~5. It was at bay where we had ~10+ more.
We ran 25 at most, 20 for the most part of the event.

True I was tagged up in FSP for AoA event and had some pugs but most of us were AoA. We do were equal with numbers and its ok with me. I mean we had fun in there ^^ you kept pushing we kept dodging and using AoE ^^.
I saw players from my group dying but most of them were pugs.
Then TEO came to fight as well and that was almost an overkill.

Anyways guys I really enjoyed myself this night.
Hope to meet you guys again ^^

I want to thank GH for the awesome fight at the FSP border at Bluewater village camp.

Yes AoA was there fighting TEO and FURY.
Yes GH was outnumbering us.
Yes AoA stood ground and FURY was kind enough to leave at some time ^^.

Great fights and to the QQ in this thread like Dark says go play another game then.

WvW is about fighting and holding things.
So if that means we need to regroup with another guild, well we do that.
As if GH does not do it.

I mean our last fight was at astralholme camp.
Kale was fighting FURY.
TEO joined, then there was another guild with a tag I do not remember and after that AoA came to help Kale.
After all we had some fun. Good kills good fights.

And for that I want to thank you all ^^

PS. For UW about the AA guild. While AoA was going for a camp we did found 3 or 5 of those AA players ^^ and yes we gave them a nice welcome with 40 players^^

RiWiJo, If Anet is expanging it to Golems its also nice.
But the idea is still a good one. My guild is building lots of siege and guild members cannot get on it because others are using it.
Commanders dont Always have time to retake the siege and give it to the proper people.
If we have some kind of locking mechanism that commander says ok siege is now only for guild members then it would be better.

Also they can tell after leaving that siege is open for everyone then.

You cannot on golems.
And about the troll if the players wants to waste money/badges to troll then let him do it. its his money/badges so he must be able to lock them

It would be a very great idea to make siege lockable.
So if i place siege i can choose who can use the siege.
-myself
-my party
-my squad (for commander)
-my guild
-everyone

this way you guys will get a lot of anger away from the WvW guilds that are making siege and someone else uses it and wont stop using it.

Same problem here. In mid event got kicked and disconnected and rejoining empty overflow. Losing my patience here. Happened 3 times today, yesterday about 6 times…

Same problem happens here, 3 disconnections today mid event, had first and second wave defeated and in third wave game client crashed and lost connection…

Sorry that I dont include the GameAdvisor attachment, but I can assure you that it has nothing to do with my PC.

Totally agree on WXP being account based, specially now they have the account wallet and thus sharing the Badges of Honor among your account.

Same problems in Far Shiverpeaks server.
Everyone got disconnected almost every hour.
Unplayable for many players and guilds!!

Anet shame on you but please fix this asap.

ANET why are you guys not fixing bugs…
This is THE most annoying bug.
When percentage gain from water states to be 20% then let it be 20% and not 10%.
Also when percentage loss from drink states to be 10% let it be 10% and not 20%.

Please fix this.

EDIT: Got the achievement after 100 tries and 4 hours of playing…. This is not normal.

Same issues above with Estate of Decay.
Have a human guardian which has this problem.

Already submitted 2 bug reports.
First bug report about no progress.

Then 2 days later I had some progress. But still the second door cannot be opened, so I submitted my 2nd bug report.

Please fix this issue asap, cannot finish storyline with human guardian…

Edit Jeffrey thank you for the reply, since you mentioned that post about the known issue and its work around it worked.

- Skillpoint
- Bloodtide Coast —> Mentacki Pass
- Defeat the heroic drake blood, but there are 2 issues here. 1 you can not talk to the NPC and 2 if it worked talking and defeated the challange you still did not win…
- Far Shiverpeaks.

Note this finding was from 2 minutes ago.

FINISHED NOT A BUG!!
You just need to kill the hatchlings on the land behind it (with the grubs) then you trigger the heroic drake blood and can fight it. (kill both hatchlings first so you can focus on the heroic drake only)

- Skillpoint
- Ashford Plains —> Tela Range
- Defeat Centurion Titus Gearclaw is the challange according to GW Wiki, but there is no NPC to talk to to start the challange?
- Far Shiverpeaks.

Note this finding was from 6-7 hours ago, maybe it is fixed already, maybe not but just wanted to let you guys know.
