Guild Wars 2

Can someone delete pvp forum? No need for a forum from a dead game mode. Ty

Small groups quit because of crap roaming on DBL/massive player quitting, essential +5 supply guild buff progress being wiped and locked behind guild halls/scribing for thousands of gold with HoT, and the powercreep from the elite specs that absolutely broke small scale to a point where what was once a very diverse way of playing has boiled down to total and complete domination by maybe three or four cheese builds.

ANet systematically killed WvW with HoT and quite frankly, I don’t think they have any intention on fixing it.

I say ANet throws up a actually In-game mail poll. Let everyone get their chance to tell ANet how they feel about the current condition of condition damage as a whole.

End of story there I’ve solved all this forum’s debacles.

Personally I would like to see ascended armor and weapons added, especially the newer gear that is locked behind a PvE grind wall like Viper’s.

Along with this I believe they should make it so Proof of Heroics can only be earned in WvW (not EotM) to encourage new players to try out the game mode.

What else would you like to see added?

Look, I get it feeders, you want to 1v1.

But its not shameful to admit defeat.

So you can’t 1v1 that engi. Or that rev.

No one is asking you to.

So just, for the love of all things eSports, stop feeding.

No more of that gung ho attitude.

Look for someone else to 1v1. Wait till you can 2v1 him.

You don’t see me 1v1 that druid, do you?

Please, to all the feeders in the game. Stop. Just stop.

Siegerazer should stream on Twitch so I wouldn’t need to log in

Major wvw over haul

-golems can now use gliders.

Done and done

I don’t like new upgrade mechanic.

Auto-upgrade + upgrade without need for supply = solo players have much less impact on gameplay. Dolly killers, dolly walkers, people who keep eye on buildings upgrades when population is low (in the morning for example) – all this work mostly replaced by timer.
For me auto-upgrade change perspective, from “if I start upgrade\defend camp\walk dolly, it may change something” to “it will happen anyway sometime.. let’s play PvP”.

Also I really dislike WP changes, what point of defending t3 now? What really you lost? Walls, some supply, few 25 score ticks. Before HoT garri was important to defend because of wp, now some commanders don’t even try to defend it prefer flip it for reward.

The ‘review’ is very non-commital, I don’t believe Anet has any intention of changing it back. That, and the offering up of something even worse, is throwing us a bone to get us to accept it. Give it a few weeks, and who will still be arguing for a return to Fri reset? Those it kills the game for will just stop logging in and drift off, and Saturday will stay. Anet will have their increasingly casual WvW, with stealth fountains, golem events and gimmicks that destroy the game mode for those that truly love open world, large scale pvp.

For the record, I have never asked for any change – all I want from a game is a balanced environment, with objectives, to pit my wits against our opponents and enjoy being part of a team where the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts. I was truly impressed with the design and mechanics of the BL and this game mode when it launched, it had clearly been designed and put together with a lot of experience and love for this game mode.

The way this has been handled, even more than the change, gives me the most concern. This is a big change to our WvW culture, and it was landed on us with no explaination a week before release. No-one to my knowledge has ever asked for this to be changed. Thoughtfulness goes both ways, and this is extremely poor customer service that doesn’t bode well for the future of WvW.

For all the reasons listed by others Friday is my favorite night of the week, and I have popped a blue tag on all but a handful in the last 2 years. Without it, I will care less about WvW, and if I don’t care, there’s no incentive to play. I’m waiting for a firm commitment from Anet to change it back to Fridays on a set date, before I make a firm commitment to continue playing this game. I’m not hopeful ^^

4500 hours in game.
probably 3000+ in wvw.

Reset on Saturday night kills 2/3 of my useful playtime. No interest on karma training Friday night until 2 am est before a reset on Saturday night.

I am sure the Saturday night est schedule works for many. This is your chance to pick up the torch. I have been among those that wished anet gave wvw some love over the years, but I sincerely repent. PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE and let the wvw players make our own game type if you want to make decisions based on patch schedules. Forget wvw exists and put all your attention into pve and pvp. What company puts customer satisfaction behind internal convenience?

0/2 accounts with HoT orders. I am glad I waited because I have yet to hear anything positive for wvw. This commander is tagging down for good after this week.

Hello All,

There are a couple of reasons for the change to reset time. One is for the overall quality of the game. The last few years we have been careful to not disrupt the WvW reset time but this has at times made it difficult for our team to address issues during reset day. This change will give our team an extra day of the week that they can use to respond to issues that may occur with WvW or any other area of the game if it is necessary. In the early days we wanted reset to be during a weekday to ensure we had people available to monitor the game at reset time, but at this point we have seen the ongoing stability of World vs. World and resetting on a weekday is no longer necessary.

Another reason is the emergent gameplay that has come from reset. It has become one of the most exciting times for WvW and we would really love for more players to have the opportunity to experience it. We have many more players logging in on Saturday than on Friday which means with this change many more people will be available to experience the rush of claiming objectives for their world during reset.

However, given the concerns posted here we will be moving the Saturday reset to earlier in the day to give most players the majority of the day to enjoy the start of the new match. Immediately after launch the new time will be 11am PDT / 2pm EDT (6 pm UTC) for NA and 11am BST / 12 pm CEST (10 am UTC) for EU. Keep in mind that the following week with the end of Daylight Savings Time / Summer Time the reset times will be pushed even earlier to 10am PST/ 1pm EST and 10am GMT / 11am CET.

Thank you for your feedback. We realize that no time we pick is going to work for everyone but this change is going to benefit even more players overall while at the same time giving us a little more breathing room to improve the quality of the game during the week.

Thanks,
John

This reply will not be well-received; in the first paragraph you state that the change is to give you more time to work on issues at reset, but then elaborate how WvW has been very stable and doesn’t need special attention anymore. In the second paragraph, you mention how reset has become an emergent, community driven event. Surely changing one of the core aspects of the community event, the time that it actually occurs, without any support for that change from the community will cause some harm to the community.

Please just revert it to normal, you’ve already shown flexibility with the time.

Well, there are a few little pieces of light for some of us who are now going to be denied the “excitement” of WvW reset:
1. I can go to movie openings
2. Take in a Friday college hoops game
3. Play D&D with friends
4. Go on a date – wait, I have a person to date?
5. Go to a bar/dancing/drink(to drown my sorrows of no reset)
6. Go out to dinner

Notice, all these do not involve me logging in on either Friday night or Saturday(since I can’t). And I won’t be spending money in GW2 on those nights/days either.

Seriously though, I’d rather have my Friday WvW reset back.

Serious Thought.5394:

You could just have weakness affect condition builds…. it’s a really simple fix….

Weakness and protection should effect condi as well

This thread is disgusting. These builds are disgusting. #MakeZerkerCoolAgain

We are very concerned about reaper because

1. Melee builds need survival tools that the reaper doesnt have

2. Melee builds need chase down tools that the reaper doesn’t have

3. reaper, at least greatsword reaper, may have really poor life force generation. Even if the grandmaster trait makes up for some of this, reaper should get something better from its grandmaster trait than life force to make up for the terrible greatsword life force.

4. Reaper GS chill access depends on a 4 second chain attack all hitting, but the attacks are slow and well telegraphed.

4a. Chill is supposed to be the main control tool of the reaper, but chill got nerfed hard that the condition will not fill this function very well.

5. If reaper damage is not best in the game top notch, then the whole class theme falls apart. Reapers, instead of being feared will be trying to run away from eviscerate warriors for example.

6. Axe and Focus are needed more badly than ever. With Reaper shroud and greatsword both melee, there is a real need for a legitimate power weapon tools (staff doesn’t count). Unfortunately, those two got Dhuumfired in beta and still suck today.

7. What OP said, shout and utilities don’t matter if we are going to be stuck taking (weak) stun breaks for utility.

8. The traits look very weak & boring, here’s what every Pvp & WvW reaper will take: (1) immobilize duration reduction (2) more life force to make up for greatsword life force sucking and (3) more life force to make up for greatsword life force sucking. That is very boring, even if the particular numbers turn out make the traits strong.

9. No scaling defenses for team fights & no team utility for team fights.

I would say Necro No. 1 just because Anet hates Necros and because well for the lulz.

There’s very little that comes to my mind in terms of Necro balance.

I mean, fixing couple traits here and there is okay for balance patch, but not for expansion. I expect sweeping changes from expansion, not merging couple traits, putting them all around and calling it a day.

Unless Death Shroud and it’s idea expands, we look at weapons themselves and on other professions capabilites with relation to re-thinking general vision behind the Necromancer (bullkitten like Attrition, managing Life Force, non-existant party buff in a game built on teamwork), I won’t take part in balancing. I’ve done that in past 3 years. Not anymore.

If they express good will and tell me that they want to get Necromancer on drawning board, I’m all theirs and can provide a lot of my free time even for big projects and discussion.

There was time for bandaiding, merging traits over three years. For expansion, I expect them to use our 3 year feedback, analyze it, review current Necromancer, re-vision the idea and run Public Test Betas where we can actually help them, not dedicating our free time writing our views on forums, getting trashed.

I read the changes. They’re okay. But we need help beyond that because Necromancer is flawed at core.

Thank you,
Rym.

People are going to stack where ever but there needs to be a counter measure to player stacking on servers.

Stacking only gets worst and worst because players feel like they need to stack in order to keep up with player attrition.

A player attrition caused by the neglect of your game. All people want are balanced matchups. Thats it. No one asked for siege mastery, siege disablers, eotm, none of it. All of these things while yes adding to the game address none of the problems and some cases you anet you make things worst.

We don’t understand why you don’t know this and fix it.

800 gems to play lag free
2000 gems gets you a dev response
10,000 gem gets you into the QA team
300,000 gem gets Anet to bring orbs back
500,000 gem buys you a brand new WvW map

Pimsley.3681:

I dont think this game is a money grab. Compared to most game developers, Anet is one of the least aggressive with monetization.

Mobile gaming developers are the most notorious.

This game doesn’t cost us any monthly fees nor does it promote sleazy pay to play schemes. Yet it delivers one of the best PVP systems I’ve seen, WVW and new content.

It was ok for a while but they are slowly but steadily catching up to the “evil” cash shop games.

Hide your builds! Hide your wife!

Your going to want to build for as much healing power, vitality, and toughness as you can. As necros we don’t need power, precision, or condition damage as you will basically be a ping pong ball for your duration here on guild wars 2. So you definitely want to be the most durable ping pong ball you can be.

Josh

Gotta hand it to server X who have come up from the bottom of bronze tier and showing the other veteran silver tier servers how to fight

Yes because yet again this wont be due to mass transfer of guilds to other servers, nor the tanking some servers may do again.

Please can we have someone who actually knows what they are talking about and knows the real issues in this mode?! Not someone who’s on blobgate!

P.S. Permanantly banned from posting on your twitch channel for asking about GvG. Thank you for letting us know you care.

Faster, more, and more consistent gap closers would help. Undead mobs in Orr seem to have better.

We all understand that Necromancer has poor combat mobility by design but that is to commit the player to combat. Another closer and better reliability cannot be that far from the design intent. I do not expect mobility CC, just a bit more static cling.

seriously people some of u you happy whit that info from mike ? he doesn’t say anything its basically the same thing we are getting it over and over it me as mmo player need to know how much to invest in the game and for that i need to know the future of the game and the road is taking but this , here is not good for me and not good for many of my friends whit respect give us what u working on expansions new content stuffs SOMETHING pls whit respect

Some of us who have jobs in a similar industry understand that communication is a tricky thing with clients. This little bit is pretty nice, especially since we now know when CDIs are starting.

CDI’s, while great for getting the communities message across to the devs, have been an utter disappointment… Just look at the disaster from the Ranger CDI. Pets were the #1 issue and literally the least amount of work was put into this issue…

Judging by their past and IMO…anet will always take the route of "Ok what takes the least amount of effort/resources to make this group of ppl happy

I mean , seriously, months of waiting and all WvW gets is 1 new trap and 1 new mastery and some new colors on a tag…. are you serious? Guaranteed we won’t see any changes until next april now for WvW….

It’s an abysmal lack of respect WvW/sPvP has gotten in this game..

Instructions unclear. Accidentally built arrow cart instead and it solved my problem.

Ye thats exactly what we need. Another tournament to burn people out, have servers become stacked, and give achievement points to pve’ers to come and que up maps and do nothing but hunt jp achievements. Im only open for another tournament if there are serious changes.
