Guild Wars 2

Bomber.3872:

4. What on earth did someone accomplish differently who bought all gemstones for 100g 2 month ago in difference to someone who has to buy them today for 850g? I tell you: nothing! That these people now think everyone should suffer for their legy and they should be more expensive for their own prestige, only shows the unbelievable arrogance some people have.

I paid a similar amount for my gemstones as today’s prices. It’s true that they have gone up a little bit, but it’s nowhere near as low as you say. Simply assuming, doesn’t make it a fact.
Tbh, you are quite arrogant yourself in assuming such a thing when I have stated quite a few times that I don’t mind the prices. Neither for me, or for anyone.

Considering how bloody easy it is to craft one of the old legendaries today compared to how it was at the start of the game. It should raise the bar once again to match today’s economy.

I’m not even going to bother with the rest of your post. Considering we totally different in too many regards of how we enjoy the game.

TexZero.7910:

Congrats ?

I too have completed Astralaria and the requirements for AG are absurd.

Stop complaining though as you still have that lovely grind to get there instead of it actually being legendary it’s still the same gold grind as the previous legendaries.

No one is forcing you to make anything, so we may as well all play the game naked and just discard all our gold anyway right ?

The prices will continue to go up as yet again you missed out on the day in economics where they covered items with a finite supply and infinite demand…..But it’s okay ignore the problem because as i’ve already stated.

“You got yours, so everyone else better suffer like you”

It’s that sorta mentality that prevents progress from actually being made and the game from being fun for everyone and not the minority that hoard gold like skirtts hoard junk.

I’d hardly say that playing with ascended weapons instead of legendaries is called being naked tbh. If you had that sort of mentality, you wouldn’t be in here complaining about prices for legendaries to begin with. So no, nobody is forcing you to buy the gemstones or the mats for them. Ascended gear is more than sufficient for any matter of gaming you wish to do. Legendary items is just for flare.

I can agree that the supply doesn’t meet the demand, which should be addressed. But you come from the side that you have to actually buy everything instead of making it on your own by transforming materials for example.

You speak about my mentality, but what about your own? You come here and assume that everyone thinks like you do. That everyone want it easy, that everyone hates the grind. I feel that, at least a little bit of an achievement should be felt when crafting something like this. So I don’t mind it being expensive, I like it that way. It’s part of creating a legendary, that people should know the work you put in.
Tbh, your mentality ruins it for the people who enjoy the game being hard. That have invested a large amount of time and effort into thing like this. So don’t go calling me out on my mentality when you are just the same. We all play the game differently.

I understand the fact that you are comparing my opinions to the idea that, because I have one of the new legendaries already, I don’t mind it being expensive because everyone shall suffer like I did.
Which isn’t entirely true. I think that everyone should suffer. Period. When crafting a legendary, it should be hard. It should be grindy, it should take a long time. So you can get a good feeling of accomplishing something. Others should know it as well when you equip your legendary.

Like I said I am crafting my second one atm. So I am in the exact same seat as you. I also have to pay a huge amount of gold for the gemstones if I want them right now.
I’m still not yelling about the prices and no, this ain’t because I already got one. I still want another one just as much as you want yours.

TexZero.7910:

Sansarah.3076:

How about you craft it like the rest of us who actually have spent this amount? It’s a legendary, it should be hard to get or cost you for creating it.
I don’t want a kitten ton of people running around with the new legendaries simply because they can’t spend the money for it. It should be hard. Otherwise it will simply be like all other legendaries in the game that everyone have.

Again as someone whose made one already. Try being a bit more objective.
The same i got mine so everyone else should be bent over crowed rearing its head again.

AG’s have a very finite supply, with a limitless demand at the current time. They need desperately to increase the ways to acquire them so that we don’t end up in the Silver Doubloon/Charged Loadstone situation again.

I’ve said my piece on this, and no i don’t believe just fixing the market for dust will solve the issue. I’m firmly on the side of making them tied into dungeons or becoming map rewards.

I saved my gold for new legendaries and I’ve been waiting for it. So yes, I spent the amount needed to get the items. It did cost me quite a bit to craft my Astralaria. I didn’t buy the items straight from the start like a lot of people did. I did it when the prices were high and I’d do it again. I intend to do it again for my next legendary as well and I’m still not complaining about the prices.

Stop complaining, It’s only gold. Gold can be farmed. If you don’t want to pay for it, then don’t, use an ascended weapon instead or exotic for that matter while you slowly get the mats needed.

Nobody is forcing you to buy the stones. The prices will go down if people stop buying them, it’s that simple.

I’ve already gotten 28 gemstones for my next legendary when being totally drained of materials. It’s easy to get more, It just takes a little time if you don’t want to buy them straight off.

How about you craft it like the rest of us who actually have spent this amount? It’s a legendary, it should be hard to get or cost you for creating it.
I don’t want a kitten ton of people running around with the new legendaries simply because they can’t spend the money for it. It should be hard. Otherwise it will simply be like all other legendaries in the game that everyone have.

Again, DS crashes.

Boss at 5%, massive server lag causes all the islands to melt at once and the event fails. One hour wasted for nothing.

Please fix things like this. Meta events that are on such an annoying timer and the need to keep oriented groups. Crashing, so many times now. It’s like you are watching us and laughing.

Thanks ArenaNet.

Hello,

I got an error every time I try to enter eternal battleground. It’s a network error, but I have no network issues..

“Network error. The inability to connect to Guild Wars 2 may be caused by Internet routing issues or a server network failure.

If the problem persists, please visit our website. (Code=5:11:3:159:101)"

Hello,

like the title says, I’m wondering if the Crystal Arbiter outfit will come back, I missed the chance to buy it and if it comes back, when?

Fix the real issues instead, sad thing is, this is something that a-net would do, simply because they failed from the start..

Straegen.2938:

This is a novel concept, how about a line of WvW armor and weapons that can only be purchased with these? Why do WvW players have to get hand-me-downs from PvE play all the time?

Because A-Net doesn’t care about WvW. Not all players want to do WvW and should still be able to access everything.

It’s how their system works. I’m not a fan either but that’s the reality. They simply care so much less about WvW it’s sad.

Anything that isn’t more wings..

Well tbh, I’m all for this, for once, I don’t usually agree with many things that are posted on these forums.

But if they implement something like this, we should have the chance to have multiple sets of armor setups that are easily attainable instead of keeping all these bloody sets in my inventory.

1. Give something for the roamers, those of us who actually don’t like to zerg, we haven’t received anything from the start. Most have given up already though.
2. Keep the perma-death once you die completely.
3. Nerf cc’s in WvW a little bit, they are to strong atm.
4. Nerf rally abilities, it’s still to easy to get up once you go down.
5. Remove pve from WvW. We got to much pve content already in other modes.

Don’t use the word ‘We’ so freely, I don’t want Tengu as the next playable race.

Simply because you want it, doesn’t mean that I want it.

Thaddeus.4891:

It’s not the same thing. A LFG tab isn’t the reason other games’ raid changed. You just assume hey other game added a LFR option and then after became bad. So that mean that everygame that add a LFR option will become bad.

But that’s not true. The reason raid became that way is because they nerfed them (I assume because you said so, but I never raided in those game). The LFR option is just a quality of life option, it doesn’t change the raid itself

Nerfing the raid would be a totally different thing and that would be problematic.

Keep in mind that not everybody have a community or a pre-made group. A lot of people play alone or just with friends. Some have 2-3 friends and want to find other people to complete the raid. Other are in guild that doesn’t raid. Others just want to test raid to see if they will like it.

Of course ideally, they should find or create a community. But often they find that by raiding with pugs. With pugs you will still raid for like 2-3 hours, talking to each other you find 2-3 people that you like become friend in game, continue to raid together and the group growth with each pug group.

A LFR tab is a good thing. Nerfing raid so that they are easy to farm in pugs is a bad thing. Power Creep the game so that raid become easy to farm in pugs is a bad thing.

Different issue.

I do understand quite well that I am speaking to deaf ears atm. Again GW2 is for casual players which should have access to all the content as a non-casual, it’s the same in wvw, spvp, pve, fractals, why not raids as well.

So I’m not going to bother with this anymore, have your lfr section. But I’m telling you this, once this goes live, because why would it not? Check out the state the raids are in now, compared to a year or two from now.

ArenaNet will nerf raids into oblivion, because of the whines that will come to these forums, that the content is to hard. The raids take to long, the farm every week takes to much of their time. Rewards are way to bad compared to the effort it takes, why can’t I have The Ethernal title, etc. In the end, it may be in a worse state than fractals.

I’m sad to say, that I think, with this, it may end up being a slippery slope.

It’s wouldn’t become worse. A subsection in the LFG would help raid groups to find and to look for the right people and others that are looking for open world things do not have to scroll through 50% of raid requests. That’s all.

Well it didn’t work for WoW, EverQuest, Age of Conan or any other MMO I have played with raiding content.

But then again, GW2 is quite different in this regard as you say. I am a bit biased when it comes to pug lfg insta joins as well.

I still feel it’s a bad idea though. Raids should be made through guilds, not lfr. But that’s my opinion.

You didn’t get it, did ya? Learn to read and have a look at the lfg.
There, you will see uncountable raid requests every day, well at least 50% of all listed things in the open world tab are referring to raids. It would have 0 influence on the things you mentioned if there is a subsection for “raids”.
You will see the same requests, offers and so on like now with the difference that open world players and raiders aren’t annoyed by thousands of entries that are listed at the moment.
Your whole argumentation is bullkitten btw.

Okey, that turned around fast, I’m guessing you took this personally considering how hostile you went in one comment simply because we really aren’t talking about the same thing.

I got you perfectly fine and it’s not 50%, more like 30% perhaps. I understand quite well that you want a better lfr section for raids because of the current one being quite useless. I’m simply stating that creating a lfr tool for raids isn’t the best way to go as a mmo from the start, because of consequences that can come later down the road.

Anyways I’m leaving this discussion with you if you can’t talk in a civil tone without getting angry/annoyed.

Every point you listed is not in line with GW2 raids. LOL!

I agree that a lot of the things I’ve mentioned isn’t in line with GW2 raids as it currently is.

But I also stated that in my earlier post that is is already bad, don’t make it worse.

cranos.5913:

Sansarah.3076:

No no no no no!

Do NOT make gw2 as the lfg raid that is current wow. It is completly horrible and have all but ruined the way that wow does raids! Raids in wow is NOTHING like it was before, when it was actually good. DO NOT DO THIS.

It will ruin the small incentive to actually do raids, like in wow it will become a part of your weekly routine and totally ruin the experience of raids being special.

If you want to do raids, you should have to work for it. If you want the easy way, do the 56,67,77 fractals, they are ruined already. Don’t bloody ruin raids! It’s bad enough as it is, don’t make it even worse!

To someone who never played WoW this makes 0 sense… xD

Long story short. Easy lfg access have destroyed the one thing that wow was good at, which was raids.

Raids is no longer special, you auto join with randoms into a raid to do your weekly, because raids is suppose to be for everyone. There is no community feeling, only rage and children screaming at each other.

The encounters are kitten because people who don’t normally raid, can’t do them properly, so the encounters are nerfed into the ground so everyone can do them. Even then, raids still fail. So the encounter receive nerf after nerf because people whine that it is to hard.

The raids doesn’t stand for anything anymore but getting your weekly upgrade in gear. It takes zero skill to complete, you mostly just zerg the encounters, everyone has the same gear setup. Everyone looks the same. It’s complete and utter kitten.

Those players who actually do hardcore raiding, have received something called heroic raiding, but it’s little to zero difference between the encounters and most of the real raiding guilds have quit the game.

Raiding should demand more of you than normal dungeons.
It should take more skill to down a boss.
You should have to give up something to raid, having the best possible gear, the best possible setup, the best possible buffs, talented raid comrades, a solid strategy and still have a chance to fail.

Yes, you should have to give up time to raid. Otherwise don’t do it. Better yet, find a raiding guild or make your own, create a community and accomplish raids together, even if you only do it once a week.

Otherwise what is the point? When there is no feeling of accomplishment anymore for people who want to work hard and not simply feel that everything we do is a grind, that skill is actually involved in what we do. Shall we become another wow clone and nerf raids into the ground like fractals? Because that will happen, I guarantee it if we get an easier lfg that brings in people not ready to raid.

When will there actually exist an incentive for hardcore players in this game that will be left alone? It doesn’t exist in spvp, wvw, fractals or normal pve. At least let us have something.

Raids should be one thing that you need a solid group/template to complete, so you can at least get a feeling of accomplishing something through skill in this game and not simply grinding for it.

No no no no no!

Do NOT make gw2 as the lfg raid that is current wow. It is completly horrible and have all but ruined the way that wow does raids! Raids in wow is NOTHING like it was before, when it was actually good. DO NOT DO THIS.

Everything works fine until someone leaves the group while being inside a fractal.

If someone leaves, you can’t advertise your party in the lfg list. Your advertisement never shows up in the list.

You need to remake the entire party to show up in the lfg again.

Hoaxintelligence.4628:

You downloaded that hyped up unbalanced kiddy-ish wanna be rpg Korean grinding pay2win arcade hack&slash failgame of ncsoft? Thats funny.

Yet has four times the viewership on twitch…

Yet GW2 was supposed to be oriented towards E-Sports from the start, sigh..

Dommmmmmmmmm.6984:

DPS meter should never be added. When everyone is aware of how much DPS they’re doing it becomes a competition to only get the highest DPS and not do the content like you normally would. In a raid if your teammate would go down, you won’t react as fast, and honestly most players won’t bother ressing like they normally would. That’s because they would want to always top the DPS chart.

Having a personal dps meter only for yourself, shouldn’t be all that bad tbh. As it is only for preference and min maxing your build. Plus anyone who looks at the dps meter instead of focusing on the success of the raid, shouldn’t be raiding.

ProtoGunner.4953:

Unfortuantely, Esports is a big thing and some games are extremely popular which I don’t get.

There are quite a few reasons that moba games and strategy games hold the main content of which is E-Sports these days.

The main reason in my book however, is that it holds a large content of players that wants to become the best. This breeds a hardcore environment for players at the top that can call themselves the best.

The question that we can ask ourselves is, why do they hold these players and why do these players get this feeling from playing their games?

One of the main aspects that I feel is a factor, is the fact that one game of moba, isn’t like the other, the skill cap can be quite high, while it’s still really easy to become decent, regardless of the type of “class” you play, you can benefit your team in some way. This keeps the players interested regardless of what skill level they are on.
There is a high versatility between each game because of these roles and each face off. Because everything comes down to strategy, quick thinking and how you handle each situation. Which can make to some really sick plays.

I don’t play any strategy games or moba myself. So others should probably correct me. But those games have the real pvp feeling that gw2 doesn’t. GW2 is quite boring when being compared in terms of team pvp or strategy.
In Wvw, the biggest zerg usually wins, there isn’t much strategy anymore as most of the hardcore wvw guilds have left the game. It’s more a game type of flipping towers and supply posts more than actual pvp..
Spvp, well, let’s just say that there is a reason that quite a few of the high end teams have quit the game. Balance issues.. The league, I won’t even start..

The main issue however, Is that GW2 isn’t based on pvp. So we have large issues with spec lines which are mostly based on pve rather than pvp. So our specs become the so called “Meta” specs, because the other specs, simply cannot perform.

So instead of having a very high amount of choices between awesome specs for each class, we are stuck with 1-3 specs that is pretty much must have. Imagine if every spec line we had, could compete with the rest. That there are so many good and awesome choices between each spec, that you want everything, but can’t. Now that would be fun to try out.

In gw2, we have classes in pvp that you simply cannot play at a higher level, because they just can’t perform up to task. Because balance issues are again interfered by pve.

So the play style depends so much on the meta and correct setup it’s sad, rather than individual skill, which is where it should be.

ArenaNet has constructed gw2 to be a pve game, not pvp. Just look at how the game is built up from the ground, it’s with pve in mind. What content gets constant feedback, development, upgrades and fixes.
While wvw and spvp sits around with broken content, lacking development, promises of fixes that never happens and a management that doesn’t have pvp in focus.
This have been pointed out on numerous times during the years and it still hasn’t been improved.

To create a real E-Sports environment, you need hardcore players to stand at the top to bring in more players to pvp, by streaming and what not. If you create an environment where a hardcore player gets punished everywhere he/she goes and no carrot to keep him/her interested. Of course he/she will leave.

So no, ArenaNet doesn’t focus on the hardcore players that have the ability to create a real interest for E-Sports. You need the players for it to happen. Without them, you just got content that nobody really cares about. Currently it’s more like, I do my daily and do something else. That’s not how pvp should be tbh.

Considering that most of the really hardcore pvp mmo players haven’t even bothered with GW2, and those that have, are getting quite tired of the same treatment over and over. Esports will never happen in GW2. It’s a few years to late and most people have given up on it happening.

pdavis.8031:

Sansarah.3076:

So I have a question, does ArenaNet outright say that using a DPS meter for the sake of oneself to perform better. Is actually 100% against the ToS and is indeed bannable?

I’m not using a DPS meter, but I, like probably many others, would like to compare builds for min/maxing purposes and dps performance in raids for instance.

So getting some real actual facts about what is permitted and not when it comes to a DPS meter. Would be very good to know.

Does someone have or can provide any real facts that is set in stone?

Being a third party add-on they won’t say one way or another. However, they will point to the ToS section talking about third party add-ons, and encourage you to use your own judgement. However, it is possible that using one, even as innocent as a personal DPS meter, may be a cause for suspicion and result in a ban. So using such things is at your own risk.

Yeah which is what is being said all out through the thread. But using such an item only to risk being banned isn’t worth it. I mean they went out in public and said that macro’ing music is allowed as long as it’s only for that purpose, why can’t they give us a straight answer here?

A simple No, that’s not allowed, don’t do it. Is good enough.
Or Yes, it’s allowed, go ahead and use it.

It’s not rocket science.. :P

Nerf the only skill that Warriors have left in pvp. Yep that’s a good solution (sarcasm). If you play a full zerker, yes it will hurt. Learn not to run full zerk if you can’t handle incoming damage. Warriors will be the weakest class in pvp after the new patch unless they get more changes in the new patch. They can’t be more nerfed into the ground.

I have both played as a warrior and faced warriors using GunFlame, it’s quite easy to counter, especially if they aren’t using signet of strength. Play duels against warriors and you will see how easy it is to counter once you learn it. They burn so much for that huge one hit and you can see the animation quite easy. It’s a cake walk afterwards against most warriors.

While I agree that this ability does hurt a lot if you aren’t paying attention to your surroundings, you need to understand though that despite this high damage burst. Most warriors only play this for one reason, they don’t have anything else that can handle the bunker meta atm. It does seem that A-Net wants warrior to be bunker busters while staying very weak towards everything else. Considering they buff rifle, but pretty much ignore all the other sustain issues that warriors have. I feel bad every time I kill a warrior because I know how they suffer.

I’m all for changing the skill, but you need to solve the rest of the class problems themselves first, which there are a lot of when it comes to warrior against current meta. Solve these and most warrior’s won’t even look at rifle as it currently is. Perhaps with the patch, warriors will use rifle more, considering it’s the only buff they get worthwhile.

Aha, nope. Not taking that bait.

I agree with what some people are saying here, DO NOT RUSH this patch.

Think everything through before giving us this patch, I don’t mind my main warrior sucking in pvp, I can play other characters for now.

But I’d really mind if you make him suck in pve simply because he can’t perform as well in wvw and pvp.

Like a few people have stated before, we need alternative spec lines depending on if we are doing pve / wvw / spvp.

This way it won’t infect each other with the annoyance that exists is today.

I don’t mind waiting half a year for this if needed. But it needs to be done in the end for everything to work for the best.

Of course it costs that much if you buy everything instead of crafting and farming it. You can get it for a very low cost by simply farming it you know.

I know for a fact that when I started crafting the precursor for Astralaria that I had quite a bit of the materials needed from the start, so doing the rest of the farming was a pretty simple task.

If you are in a rush to get a precursor and don’t have the ingredients, it’ll be expensive, but it can be cheap as hell as well compared to buying the precursor.

If you don’t want to pay the price, then don’t do it. At least now you can get it by other means than the random spamming the Mystic forge with weapons costing an insane amount of gold and risk the chance of not getting anything at all. The randomness is gone and replaced with time, if you don’t want to spend the time to farm, then it can be replaced with gold. Easy as that.

We don’t need mounts, not all of us even want mounts. Stop pushing this idea please. ArenaNet should focus on what the community really needs, mounts isn’t one of these things, we got teleports already like stated earlier.

Exploring maps has never really been very rewarding, but ArenaNet have implemented quite a bit of “fluff” in the old zones with this expansion (can usually be traced back to the new legendary system), so you should see more people in them now.

Like Zep stated, the mega-server system helps quite a bit with gathering people.

Hello everyone,

My name is Lars, I live in Sweden, Stockholm +1GMT. I am 32 years old and speak decently fluent English, but my spelling may leave something to be desired as I’ve never been a linguist.

I have been thinking of coming back to Guild Wars2 after a one and a half year hiatus. If I can find a guild or team that suits me, I’ll start playing GW2 for real, otherwise, I’ll simply move on.

I am looking for a hardcore team/Guild which are at the top of your particular league, it doesn’t matter in what genre, I would prefer a PVP oriented environment in the end, but it’s not a demand.

The reason I left GW2 in the first place, was because my old guild abandoned the game because of WvW being the way it was. We were solely oriented towards WvW in GW2.
The reason I am now searching for a new guild is because pretty much everyone of my old gaming friends have stopped playing. Be it because of work / family etc. you name it. They simply don’t have time anymore.

I have an esfj/estj type of personality. You can read up on them here if you don’t recognize the terms: ESFJ / ESTJ

Short info about me as a gamer:

I have a very hardcore oriented mindset in everything that I do, you can consider me to be active and on most of the time that I am able to, outside off work or the necessities to survive and friends being hard-kitten. As long as I don’t get bored.
I come from a long history of mmos, mostly enjoying the world pvp aspects, but I’ve probably played most of the games that have been out over the years.

In most games I have been doing solo/small mans or a small hardcore guild with the aim of beating the odds in regardless of the situation. Be it in terms of pve raiding or pvp teamplay.

I started my mmo career with Daoc, which is also the game I’ve been going back and forth too over the years, as it simply has the best world pvp imo. I’ve currently got three rr12’s, two rr11 and multiple chars with rr8 and below across all three realms.

Since Daoc I’ve been going through most of the mmo’s at a pretty rapid pace with my old guild mostly because they were never really satisfied, grew bored or whatever.

GW2 always stood out for me to be a game I could enjoy, as there is simply enough things for me to do without getting bored. I simply need people around me with the same mindset.

What I can offer you as a guild.

• Dedication through both activity and loyalty, as well as helping the guild progress forward.
• 100% representation, I have a guild comes first kind of mentality and attitude. I only play in one guild and one game at a time.
• Team-play and/or leadership, I’m used to being a leader in my old guild and I usually take on a form of leadership and make a hard effort to come up with strategies/general improvement, tips and tricks etc. I have however, no issue in simply following a chain of command and doing as I’m told.
• Self sufficiency and helping others, for every game I have played, I always strive to be self sufficient, meaning I usually got every craft, best armor/weapons, food/buffs I can get. I’m not someone who asks for help unless I absolutely have to. I always come prepared for raids/team fights and I’m never late to help guildies who need help, if I can provide.
• Mindset on always improving and being the best I can be, I take a bit of pride in never doing the same mistake twice. If you give me an assignment, I will carry it out thoroughly, usually with good results.
• I’m a programmer by work, I have a private server, TS2 server, Web knowledge. I’ll let your mind imagine the rest.
• No drama, no bullkitten, no backtalk. No trolling in general chat etc. I’m straight forward in what I say and think. Like it or not, that’s who I am. That being said, I’m not one to step on peoples toes without a very good reason.
• Always up for doing something and an easy going/fun mentality outside of serious raids/team fights.

What I expect from you:

• Hardcore mentality
• High activity
• No drama
• High skill cap
• Progressing the guild forward, making us all better.
• Speaks English

If you have read this far and are still interested with a similar mindset. Feel free to send me a message.

Kind regards, Lars.

Matt Witter.6982:

We will have much more info on World Ranks very soon! In the mean time:

1. Everyone that helped with the kill will get full credit for the kill.
2. NPC’s are not worth World Experience
3. I can’t give all the goods away just yet!
4. Yes.

The number one, is such a kittening bad choice of world Pvp mechanic. Have you really been looking on other games when you created this system? Seriously?
How can you not ser that this sort of system only feeds zergs even more? Unbelievable, i’m honestly quite baffled on what is going on at your office.

Let me ask you a question you will avoid. Why would hardcore pvpers play your game? You say you want to create an e-sport game. But give us crap like this over and over through both spvp and wvw. If you want to create an e sport game. Make sure you actually have pvpers that you listen to.

Next generation mmo? Just another “save the noobs” mmo.

Yes, this is a rage message.

Why not be that guy is my question to you. If you are taking up slots in wvw from others to do pve. It’s quite logical a pvper will be there waiting. I think you know why this is, without me pointing out the obvious.

To the op. No, there is nothing left to trust in this game as a hardcore player doing wvw.

Eclipses.7152:

I’ll reserve true judgement until I see them but as it stands now the March update and their WvW skills are looking a huge disappointment.

Kinda expected considering the rest of the game.

Guess this is the final nail in the coffin for most hardcore pvpers, More joy for the pve’rs.

Untill they implement their own game title of guild wars. There won’t be such a thing as the official title, most powerful guild.

Even if some of the people here state that this guild is the best, my guild is the best, your guild is the best. In it’s current state, it’s an answer that will always be based on opinions. Not facts.

Having a skilled fight in say 5vs5/10vs10/15vs15 and so on, some guilds may be better than others in teamplay and skill. But they may be lacking tactics in other parts where other guilds shine.

Quite simply, the question cannot be answered now. Everyone who tries to answer this atm, are just people trying to stretch their own kitten imo.

But, do give us guild wars tbh, that would be awesome.

Alur.7510:

SilverWF.4789 so what you want, unbalanced fights? are we “silly” or what?

They just need to increase peek per server to equal, and the new map is going to help them, but just unlimited, is just like throwing a rock in to the face to Balance.

Also communication much appreciated, tho I hope something roles for Feb.

More Numbers != Unbalance. Not if the game is well designed to handle zergs.

The current maps in wvw, are way to small for handling more people.

First off before I say anything else.

Thank you Colin, for giving us any kind of update, this is way to rare in my opinion.

They could just as well have stayed quiet untill release.

Atleast now I know, that I can stop playing untill March.

Art.9820:

I’ve been a soloer since betas, yet I find downed stated quite challenging and fun, let me tell you an advice if you want to suggest a mechaninc change do not generalize for every soloer out there pls :P, if you have an opinion share it but don’t make it any bigger than what it is oh and downed state is an obstacle for smalls grps AND zergs, just search on the forums and you will find a lot of complains

Well I’ll be, never thought I’d see the day of a solo’er enjoying the downed state mechanic. In that case, I’m sorry for speaking for you in general, I have never met a harcore solo’er who enjoys this mechanic in wvw.
I’ve been talking with quite a lot of players about it who plays solo and nobody so far has said anything different or even raised their voice that I was completly wrong with my views.

So do please enlighten me on your views about it. I’m quite intregued on hearing your side of it all.
What class etc do you play and setup do you use?
Who are your normal opponents?
Do you usually do 1vs1’s only or 1vsX?
Can you describe the reason you enjoy it, does it add extra flavor or something for the competition?

sPvP map? :P

The main thing I find annoying is that people don’t state why it should stay the same, what is so good about the current downed state?

Sansarah.3076:

This game in wvw is a very unfriendly solo / small scale.

Yes, by design. It is a military style scenario and running around a raging battlefield by yourself with no idea what’s going on is an unfriendly situation and should be.

Sansarah.3076:

Some of us prefer the small scale / solo option.

Then WvW is just not for you. Try fallout 3.

Military style scenario huh.

Simply because you are few, doesn’t mean you can’t be important. Even in military scenarios.
Wasn’t it Churchill who said something along the line of: “Never was so much owed by so many to so few.”

Don’t count us out because we do small scale tbh.

This is a mis-interpretation. The military, while large, still represents a small portion of the population. And, in general, famous quotes always deal with the amount of dead or sacrifices for victory. So, the amount of people who died is few compared to the many who lived. Churchill wasn’t saying…Thank the gods for the 3 and 4 man solo teams we had fighting.

WvW is large scale, sorry you don’t prefer it. Please stop making threads about it and just whine on the 1000000000 other threads already created on this topic. Thank you.

I would prefer to keep this nice and open for discussion, sorry you don’t feel the same way.

What Churchill could have said though:
-Thank the gods for those four people intercepting the power orb before they got it into the keep!
-Thank the gods for those four people hiding a mesmer inside the keep so we could get inside!
-Thank the gods for those four people rushing into the lord room to keep it from getting captured so we could get there in time!
-Thank the gods for those four people trebbing the wall for us for easy access!

etc. etc.

Naisikras.6573:

Unfortunately, as you know Sansarah, UO’s pvp is still unmatched. But my hunger for pvp has never faded! I have been searching and searching for skill based pvp games and I strongly feel GW2 provides this content.

Just the fact that WvW has such an immense map, gives you the chance for small scale pvp, even 1v1. ( this is my opinion though, I don’t know for a fact ) Even though the ultimate objective relies on large scale assaults, I understand this and I think I am going to stick this one out.

Okey then, regardless of what people have written above, I’ll give you my two cents.

Sending you a pm.

Musty.3148:

PLEASE get rid of mob rally. (I’d even argue get rid of rally from kill totally!)
No rez from Defeated state.
Force respawn with a timer when defeated.
Homogonize downed state abilities.
Make rezzing MUCH slower.

And again, got nothing to add to this post. I agree fully.

Naisikras.6573:

Generally speaking I love random 1v1 fight or 1v2 fights and playing a glass cannon type build. However, I also like running with maybe 3-4 other players who know how to play their class, and we have to rely on each other to absolutely dominate the battlefield. I would be willing to play my needed role in order to achieve this goal. ( Sorry to use this reference, but much like WSG in WoW )

If by large scale you mean 20+ then generally no I don’t care for it mainly because it seems to be pretty uncoordinated, and usually you get stuck playing with a lot of goofy players which equals failure. Also to get into a GOOD player group that large, I don’t think I have the time necessary to contribute. Usually because of the wife :p

So, I guess you could say I’m a smarter casual player. ( and I say smarter because a lot of people just make some goofy templates, don’t really research their class, other classes, tactics for pvp etc )

Sorry for the long post.

Okey, then first off, let me give you a warning. This game isn’t ideal for solo/small scale type of players, it is much more large scale / zerg oriented, less about skills, more about numbers. I know, as I am a small scale player myself. I’m also a former UO player coming to this game expecting miracles. Yet I am quite disappointed to say the least.

If you still want to continue with the game regardless of this warning, I’ll write up a proper post for you.
