Guild Wars 2

Same incidents happening to me. Every now and then, either it freezes (and if it unfreezes, it freezes again sooner), or it crashes (sent many feedback error logs) or it wont even let me access my Desktop in order to close GW2.exe manually (task manager). Everything since HoT release. Was running good for 3 years.

Why not make an open map, training facility themed, that guilds of the same matchup can participate by registering, but every guild would be an enemy, not only server vs server. Would be fun lol individuals with guilds of less than 10 or 15 registrants, wont be able to take place in there (as an 8v8 can be carried out in custom sPvP arenas).

Or you can implement an event manager, that would allow a system much like “LFG” for posting guild looking for guild to GvG with 15 people, and the battle would take place every 5 or 10 minutes in instanced arenas between the two guilds that agreed on that manager.
It would be nice to implement that to enough advanced Guild Halls so they can host their individual arena of preference and maybe landscape, providing much diversity in battle and have a “home” edge feel.

But the truth is that it seems like a new game mode, so I dont know how willing is Anet to carry any of these through.

Many of those suggestions are really good. But i would go with a previous one. That Exhaustion debuff idea is pretty kitten cool. I think the solution is not banning the trills, but discourage them and pinpoint them, forbidding them from entering WvW for a certain period of time. As for the Exhaustion, it would be nice if it was modified like this:
1 stack of Exhaustion for every single siege placed.
At 3 stacks, the individual is prohibited to put siege buildsites for 3 minutes.
If bearing a Commander Tag this is modified by squad members and range;
6 seconds linear reduction for each individual squad member within a radius of 1500.
That would result in Exhaustion being obsolete in a Squad bigger than 30 individuals.

This can be modified towards stacks taking effect as well though, based on “per squad member” parameter (based on small teams that want to properly siege up a fort);
A 10 member squad Commander, would have a limit of 2 or 3 stacks of exhaustion, where the 20 member squad commander would have 4 or 5, etc.
Also, the disassembling of troll siege should be initiated by commanders and voted as well and return a normal siege back to the commander that has more than 30 or 40 people in squad. Because if anyone can initiate a disassembling, then they can even disassemble a properly placed siege, just with some guild help. This could help pug commanders as well, and prevent trolls from completing their goal.

I will say that if you wanna prevent zerging you can add character collision. It will add many tactics to how a whole zerg interacts and acts within a battle with formations etc, but the sad thing is that I bet all blobbers will dissappear in an instant from wvw, and that is like 75% of it cuz they only know how to do that. The truth is that Bronze league servers will shine :P But as Peetee said, the coding is the issue (and marketing also).

oblivious.8074:

awww did I hurt your feelings? Would a trip to Toys R Us make you happy?

Btw in the midst of your tantrum your should reread the posts they refer to PT not Deso.

:)

Not at all. You just proved my point about that saying I mentioned before

oblivious.8074:

You should find a server more appropriate to your age. I am sure there must be a server out there moderated by the cartoon network.

Well, that is enough answer for me and every GW2 player; having no facts to sustain your statement, I think I must go to the cartoon network, maybe they will teach me there how to think and act like you do. But then there is that one saying “Never argue with an idiot. He will drop you to his mental level and win you by experience”.

See you on the Cartoon Network!

This is just hillarious. You want non-primetime guilds, but not PT (which raids mostly off-primetime, or correct me if I am wrong) Then you hate PT for it’s “ill-mannered” members (which you have as well). And hate Deso for the kind of ppl you have in Gandara. I say you are disappointed losing the silver league to “Deso unskilled players”.

Cognitive Dissonance is a very common mental issue that an average human has to face at every situation in his/her life. This is followed by twisted prespective, hatred and sometimes even depression by more infantile minds.

I dont think gandara has any players like that, does it?
The thing is, you can deny that only as long as every single Gandara member denies it, which would smell fishy the least XD
So, take on your “scrubs” and stop talking about ours, because our “scrubs” have won Season 1 over your “scrubs”. “Desolation won Silver League in season 1, OMG”. Well, you will have a couple of Gold league realms in silver, I cannot wait reading the same story with them!
IF you want to define “skill” take it to a GvG, but then again GvG is not WvW, is it?

PS. I dont hate you, I just play against you in a competitive game, but you hate me for being a Desolatian and a PT member… Great men and/or women you are, specificly you (plural) who admit hating someone that beat you to the top. Great gown-up behavior.

cortin.9174:

The only thing Anet needs to do now is to improve their queuing system. Large guilds should be allowed to queue together, but they should be dumped into an EOTM instance where other large guilds are queued up. This will create more of a competitive environment where organized guild zergs get to go up against other organized guild zergs, with some pugs thrown in the mix. Rather than organized guild zergs steam rolling pugs without even a commander in charge.

Well, the have to make commanders, more than just a blue thingy on the map. They MUST give him an interface with HIS SQUAD’s statistcs, groups, professions, etc. To do that, they have to implement a Squad Raiding system (even if it is visible ONLY to the commander in charge). and only THEN they can make a Commander Raid queue system, so that the Commander could queue up his raid members so if there is space in a certain EotM Overflow, it would get him and EVERYONE of his raid members there. But there has been almost two years, and commanders are still only blue dots in the map. They should even add different tag colours for each commander squad. Make those 100g every commander spent on buying a Tag, worth it, so ppl will be willing to invest in it. For guild Groups, add a function for the commander to be able to switch his tag from public, to Guild Only, or even Squad only. To be able to invite ppl to Squad, to kick ppl from squad. So assign something like a “Ranged” wingman for his “subleader”. They should reassign player map colour dots to different squad members.
I hope EotM works, but most of BLs will die gradually imo. Eternal has SM and it is mostly about skirmishing and good, open, large scale battles, while BLs are mostly about capturing and defending towers drowned in siege. And the less ppl to man those sieges, the faster the towers go down (imagine that I have run with so powerful blobs that we did only facerub t2 towers/keeps, with minimal loses, but the defensive siege was giving us a hard time. With less population, what’s the point in upgrading stuff? There would only be karma trains). But that is my personal opinion.

But anyway, believe what you want.

I see deso is verry good in this lol.

Verry! That’s why we had a flawless Season 1

Daftendirekt.5280:

I dont mind if you are a gold or silver league server, you are just boring as hell

You make it sound as though Gandara are good, you cant even blob good unless AR have your back, outnumbered and were still 30k ahead of you, thats embarrassing lol

Amusing stuff. Gandara has outnumbered buff or no queue until afternoon while Deso blobs all night and takes everything while we sleep. But during the day when numbers are even Deso gets rolled. The only saving grace your server has is the locust numbers, it sure isn’t skill.

Ooook. Well putting aside the fact of you hiding in towers to avoid blob vs blobs (unless you are nowhere near you towers thus not being able to run away, so you kindly supply us with lootbags) and the fact that by coincidence(maybe it is) whenever one server focuses us on primetime, the other does also (cuz I get you get mutual hate for us rolling over you when equal on numbers) (oh, and sorry for not having 160 ppl on the same map so we can deal with you both at the same time) then yes, we have no skill whatsoever but only immense numbers. (And that is only cuz you will not be able to sleep if I say that even our pugs have very good skills in WvW. But anyway, believe what you want.)

Kitten here, kitten there, kitten everywhere. One accusing another while you all do the same. I really wonder, what do you do in real life? I guess you blame everyone for being kittens while you kitten as well. So, my advice, get a life, grow up (not age, cuz most of you are 25+ years old kids with 12 yo brains, but in mind). Best guess is that you are kittening here cuz you cannot do this elsewhere (eg your job, your supposedly friends etc). By the new year, I wish all the kittens ragequit GW2.

!!! For everybody else, I wish them to have a happy new year, prosperity, health and love for them and the ones they care about. May 2014 be a good turn for anything that bothered you in 2013! Cheers everyone !!!

But you learn how to play properly and make personal progression following a bad commander.

Are you commanding tonight Sivaas?

Hahaha! Unfortunately not! Will log on later in the night though. You will all learn to play through my bad commanding :P

…
MS was losing T3 QL, was MS not blobbing there and stacking its full force on the stairs with ridiculus amount of acs? …

It was 3 or 4 ACs that got ripped down pretty fast (warrior ftw), then another few were built which also didn’t last very long. So not really ridiculous. And yeah we brought together what we could back then, but it wasn’t enough. Tbh I was surprised to log onto EB on a Sunday afternoon without a queue. I had my 3-4 hours of fun.

About all else, I guess you’re right. In the end though it’s the same discussion, different thread.

Well it kinda felt pretty big amount. you may have had many rangers also. cannot tell. If not for that counter treb just across ql road, we would not make it in (I admit that, just like I admit that one more/quickly built counter treb from you before we build ours, would have made it almost impossible to take over ql, as we had our own “communication” issues* :P )

*as for communication issues I quote

Nemesys.7251:
I reveal u a secret but dont say that to no one,pug always follow that guy with the blue thing on the head,this dont mean who are followed are good:/

Even if they follow, it does not mean they cooperate, but in general they come along to win and they try for that. If they cooperate properly, it means that commanders (even the bad ones) have a really great chance of winning the odds. If they are not, it means that they will be lootbags and rallybots until they get bored and log out. After all, following a good commander, does not make you imba, your commander knows what to do and you add to his success. But you learn how to play properly and make personal progression following a bad commander. There you can show your class as a gamer. Learning from mistakes.

Every server has dishonorable ppl, get over it and report/screenshot, not whine about their guild, cuz maybe the guild is unaware of his behavior.
Ay Ay Ay… Cry more… It is ok… Just do not run around too much, cuz either way, I am gonna get my lootbag.
Everyone blobs, get over it. Today from 12:00-18:30 (+2 GMT) I was commanding EB. Let’s see now:

MS was losing T3 QL, was MS not blobbing there and stacking its full force on the stairs with ridiculus amount of acs? (Is that blobbing or just standing together drinking beer in a ready to be lost tower?) And for the sake of the arguement just in case you say “but we were defending”, what about attacking Klovan, or Jerrifer’s? Wildcreek? Durios? Golanta? Not blobbing there too I guess? Our fault? Steamrolling FSP while they were low on numbers? I got mendon’s only once, cuz it was wooden and only when they started to gather some force and they actually could defend (but they were eager fighting south)… MS tried to get FSP Keep, but failed or something I think.

FSP (despite the low force at start) was trying to keep it together, admirably. Later on it got numbers, was FSP not blobbing? What about Aldon’s? SM?

What about the 3-ways in SM? You tried so many times to take it impatiently, that you got blobbed. But who of the servers was not blobbing? And I do not say double-teaming like some of you will start whining about (although SM was like a chedar cheese, full of holes, and all at the same time on inner. And I know that it was just individual commanders’ calls, you wanted sm, you liked the 3-way idea, you thought we had it enough time, you pushed on the opportune moment. That’s cool and gave us the chance to enjoy battles!)
Spare me with excuses like numbers. You had wrong calls, you gave us advantage, and you being sarcastic on blobbing?

(I focus on MS, not cuz I hate them or anything like that. Just because most battles were versus them. FSP had not much activity)

(May I ask, if I, as a person, decide to push a server cuz the other is VASTLY outnumbered, am I doubleteaming it? What if a server pushes a weak, at the time, server and for whatever reason, I do not like this and push this “bullying” server and not let it concentrate on the weak server, forcing it to return and defend, am I doubleteaming it? I really want to know cuz the weekend is over and now the forum warriors will sit behind their keyboards…)

And lastly, cuz you all refer to the term “blob”, I dare you, what does it mean? Having 25 ppl? 35? 60? 80? What does zerg mean? Or Roaming? What is the difference between zerg and blob? Is turtle formation a blob, a zerg, a tactic? Is flanking a tactic? A veil? A portal bomb? A guerrilla battle, what is it? Is moving together in a turtle formation, a blob or a zerg? And dun tell me you run disorganised, I knew where the commander was and how your zerg moved. most times you lost the fights is cuz you were less organised than we were. Is organisation blobbing too? What if you use everything of the above? And in the end, what would you do to win a battle?

PS. After reading this a second time, I apologize if I offended any MS. I only want to state facts in a battle, cuz that is how a battle goes. There are no good ppl or bad ppl. There are only those who play to win, who play only for fun and those who try to ruin gaming experience. Gather them up, add a commander and you have a server trying to do something there. and I wanna thank MS cuz we had epic battles this morning. Hope to see more of that through the rest of the week!

@oblivious
i am not blaming you, not at all. And AoE is used as an example fact. It is a challenge to bring a taste of simulation, in an mmo like this one. I totally agree to broaden the maps. As for the speed, combo fields are still a bit op despite the fact of boon sharing limit and group prioritizing. I know about how real warfare goes from personal experience. Simulating real warfare in an mmorpg with vast but limited numbers, is not easy, no matter the game.

oblivious.8074:

@Savroula I understand your point of view here. However we can’t really bring balance to the game that favours one style of play as the “efficient” way to play (ie. the melee train zerg) The maps (open fields for the most part not many chokes) and the game with AOE limits as well as a lot of others things that I can’t think off of my head is benefiting that style and makes it difficult for smaller groups to fight against them.

Also the zerg moves to fast in this game especially with all the waypoints up.

This game mode is not rewarding skill as much as I would like for a pvp mode.

@Mask – lol! poor conchis <3

And it will never have a balance. Everytime something gets “balanced” something else will get out of balance. Anet implemented many restrictions like you said, but without at least those restriction such as aoe damage, it would favor another way of gaming as even the full tanks would not be able to withstand for more than 5 seconds the damage outcome of a zerker build zerg. Baseline is that every polishing and balancing will unbalance something else as it is a newly and fresh mmo. Track down mmo history and everyone will realise that no mmorpg is balanced. And throughout time, every rebalancing, evoles new playstyles and favors different things. But blaming players that want to win, is like blaming yourself that wants also to win. Some players does not accept that and this is the reason all this forum nonsense flourish.

People should realise that Anet main purpose is war24/7. It is not about balance, but about choice. Anet gives you everything and a constant battleground, cuz spvp arena is not enough. At the first stages of wvw, there was no purpose in wvw othrr than economy and maybe lvling. On the second stage, random matchups according to wvw activity and speciall wvw skills were inroduced. But cuz economy and leveling was again the sole purpose, they had to make players get interested so the crowd more the realms so there could not be like 2 or 3 overpowered realms. Third stage and the leagues came up. Along with them free transfers for guilds that wanted to get rid of ridiculusly long queues and try to make a difference on weaker realms. Anet always gives us new choices. We create the balance, not them. Like NA guilds joined SFR and keep a very challenging night crew, so deso has ppl in different time zones and ppl like me, that due to my working hours, I can only run morning or night crews, and less often primetime crews. Ppl themselves chose a server they desire to make a difference on. You cannot blame another server for doing anything in its interest. Everone fights a 24/7 WAR and this is very respectable and admireable. Pesronally, I always hunt fights as i hope enemies do. When i see another server golemrushing deso, i do it also. An eye for an eye. I only want to show ppl that anything is allowed in this realm war. Even doubleteaming a realm… If only ppl fought for the fun, the adrenaline and even the hate of it, but not for complaining about op professions and unbalanced matchups. Whenever gandara or am uses strategy and tactics, the odds are even. Even pain trains are not that op if not organised and coordinated properly. And think it like this: if you died 10 times on the battlefield, 1/10 would be wrong commanders call, 2/10 would be cuz enemy was not scouted properly, 2/10 would be unexpected retreating due to a realm attacking a point of interest, 1/10 would be cuz enemy is actually better and bigger in numbers. But 4/10 would be cuz many player were not cooperating as they should amd gave advantage to the enemy. Just think of it.

kitten ThoseNames.8791:

Thank you all for joining me on my little adventure this morning <3
It has been a blast the last few days XD
And thank you deso for all your tier 3 towers and keeps

greetings,

Cilag

Twas nothing. Our pleasure. Thank you for ALL T3 towers and waypointed keeps on all maps yesterday
100k karma, 230 badges, 12 gold, and 6 times 120 slots full bags.

gitflap.9031:

I’d like to congratulate Deso on their first place finish in Silver league. You should be mid-table in Gold, but thanks to some subtle tanking, you get the top spot in our league. I can’t remember, would it have been Kodash by rights? They might well have won. Would have been a good fight; Gandara, Kodash, Blobbadon, Blobbadon Jr. Anyway, Deso guys, enjoy those gold finishers! Nobody has any respect for you but, kitten me, you sure can Doylak my face now!

<3 Thank you for your kind words, but I am a bit disappointed though. I can find nowhere what realm or guild are you representing with your trully inspiring speech, so I can congratulate them also for having such a distinct member among their ranks. Gold finisher for me. Try banging your head on the keyboard and flame on next league season for another realm beating you to first place. Thank you again and cheers to you too for standing up and representing your realm this way.

PS. I respect any realm you have been in, but sadly now, noone has any respect for you. Cheers!

Very good and interesting battles until now on this Matchup. Whatever the outcome, I am glad that we take it out on Borderlands than forums! Cheers everyone!

Sandrox, That is what I want to point out. You think I haven’t been ganked and danced on and laughed at by gandara or FSP when I roamed solo or with someone else? You think we were 2 and the other 1? You think there was not times that a whole zerg passed over me for 1 lootbag or chased me? Some even whispered me and told me that I fail and I am a loser… You saw me complaining about those losers anywhere? I play to have fun and I want anyone who plays with me, to have fun. I refer to everyone, no exceptions. Every server has its good and bad gamers (some of them are not even allowed to consider themselves as gamers). I have sniped, roamed, sieged, upgraded and tagged up for deso. It is a game. You can only earn respect out of descent gamers. So, if someone laughed at you, that is his problem. You may have laughed at someone, nobody will ever know. I have done it. So what? Game is a game and enemies are enemies whether good or bad. You will still kill them. I just hope you get what i want to say and I mean not to offend anyone.

Really now? You all think that only deso has chickens and bullies? Why are you not mentioning the times that our zerg leaves your sniping teams and pass near it or leave the roamers alone? Why dont you mention the times when your zergs (even when more than us) hides in their tower instead of facing us? You can get in your towers, you have all the right to do this. No problem. It is a game. Whatever you say we do, you do it also. How many times we hunted you for some battles and you fled? We have no problem whatsoever, do anything you think that benefits your realm. Just do not accuse others when you do the same. I have had MANY good battles with fsp and gandara, have been wiped, have killed. It is a game adter all. We play for fun as far as I know… as for the ppl that started in WvW, most that were pure pvers and achievement hunter, liked wvw and stayed in. By now everyone has had their veteran of the mists. Whoever we hunting achievements, left, whoever liked wvw stayed. What is so hard to accept there? Gold or silver or bronze league? I respect everyone that we have confronted and was not whining around “deso this, deso that”. That is MY opinion. Whoever wants to have fun, plays either he wins or loses. Everyone else search for an excuse.

Ease up Orpheal xD I am just suggesting and asking your opinion on this. “NO” need to rage up on this… Well, my point is not to exclude pugs, but make them contribute more at rush hours, maybe join some soft-core WvW guilds and get started on WvW branch and see if they like it. After all, one can be in some guilds simultaneously.

What if ANET supplements a queue upgrade for WvW in the Art of War section? A way to get priority queue over pugs that hunt only the achievements.
It could be kinda expensive and with separate currency to activate, which could be earned only through WvW Guild Events and be active for a week with a cooldown of six days and one day build time. WvW Guild events would be to take a designated number of Towers, Keeps, Kills and supply camps per week (From reset to reset) and the point would be awarded on WvW reset, so WvW guilds could run the Upgrade again and of course get some priority with guild groups on home instances.
What is your opinion on that?

I am not trying to convince you :P I know that every wvw player wants to have fun, not zerg (except probably for VS :P ) and I agree with you totally. The pointing system must change radically as well as the matchup compound. I just try to be specific in the flaws that the current system ranking has. though even the reset of points, will actually have the same ladder standings after a month or two. xD So, GW2 WvW, needs a radical change in point distribution system and matchup composition.

Dayra.7405:

What keeps them up is that Deso and SfR play equally bad. If one of them would loose points to the other, they would have been down already.

That is my point. Why not make this more versatile and adaptive? Why not making it each week a round robin and get rid of Tier battles? Points will be accumulated through each week vs each server’s rating, and not only depending on other 2 servers.

As far as it concerns anyone in this WvW game, the WvW should be versatile and adaptive… Maintaining high score by only having blobs and Towers, worked at the begining because servers were constantly changing Borderland opponents. Now it cannot be done due to the lack of reseting the points.
I’ve heard that Elona has many numbers also but they are way behind to get to T1. In order for them to get to T1, Deso or SfR should be totally inactive for 3 weeks. But if the servers are so inactive in WvW, what is the fun? Server players will lose interest and that’s it… On top of that, even if alliances decide to stop, there are always individuals that one cannot convince or control so Droping to T2 or climbing to T1 with the current Pointing System is something over a months work at least! And another variable is: What if SfR or Deso wanna drop Tier but Elona does not want to climb tier and stalls? The tiers will not change whatsoever. So obviously Deso and SfR will get deserted and VS will gain points on deserted servers. That means that they will build a huge difference in points only by PvD (Players vs Doors)! And where is the branch of WvW???!!!
So, either reset the points like you did on NA servers, or implement a new plan with more actual WvW and not fixed servers.

So? I am not talking about Vabbi and VS. You either cannot or just do not wanna get the concept -.- I mean, come on, do’t you understand that having the server’s switching opponents, will actually give everyone a shot to climb the ladder? Vabbi will stay last because of the PvEers. But what about other servers that actually are into WvW and cannot unstuck from the lower tiers due to the wrong pointing system A-Net has? First Tiers are WAY ahead from the next two tiers, REALLY long way… and every tier actually is. So there will be almost no climbing at all. But if there is another pointing system sypplemented (Like the first of each week gets 3 point, the second 2 and the third 1) and ther is always a round robin style in cycling the borderlands with different server, then it would matter less if VS had full WvW population and mostly how other servers are performing against other servers. Plus, with the current pointing system, when VS gets 5million points ahead, even if it becomes a dead server, it will not drop for years. And this will not be funn for the other two servers battling each other. So, this point system, is plain wrong and does not have anything to do with population in WvW. My plan depends on each server’s performance, not on Tiers, beacause once you get in a Tier, you can actually decide if you wanna stay. But if there is a variable of the other servers’ wanting to climb, then you can never decide to stay somewhere and you will want the most points because climbing the ladder and dropping others, will be easier for you and scarier for them. This is what you should get. In order to understand the logic in my plan.

Yeah, but being first would not depend only from their matchups! It would depend on everyones matchups. Now there are other servers with the population of the VS but they are too low tiers with big differences that cannot just go up the ladder or do not want to. So, basically, everyone will be like “motivated” to play well.

At this time the WvW is becoming a dull and boring thing. same servers, big difference in points, and no point being either in first tier or last tier. the buffs are the same. A-Net’s promise for everchanging opponents was true only at the begining. Now it is not. And WvW aspect is failing for the general public. Nothing to expect out of it.
So, here is a suggestion. Leave this ranking system and make something like this.
1. The ranking will only exist to show an overall standing but NOT to determine the opponents.
2. It should be like a round robin tournament style, let’s say, every week the server opponents will change to servers that have not played opposing before and there, the points they earned that week, will be added to the overall ranking system which, by turn, will have it’s own buff reward.
3. Prohibit free transfers.
4. No more Tiers determine the opponents rather than only world standings (kinda like football)
5. Make a supplementary one month (out of the 12 there are per year) WvW Tier Skirmishes that will have the servers that are on the same tier, to fight each other just for the sake of the current system, if you want. But this month should be like a small plus to overal score so there is still some motivation in it.

1. Dungeon Experience Indicator (In a total amount per Account)

As we all know, there is a variety in the skill and experience amongst player. Would have been nice if there was something like a link-able, evergrowing, counting achievement for everytime someone did a dungeon. Most will say it is undermining new ppl and not getting them in groups. Personally I always ask whether there are newbies and if there are indeed I explain, not kick them. Most of the time, many lie about their experience and get the whole group wiped cuz of their arrogance. But this is my prespective on this.

2. Dungeon Group Finder (With role statements)

Well, most of this work is being held at gw2lfg.com and I guess it is unofficial or something? Why not get an in-game dungeon group finder? Plus, having a role and profession statement will make it easy for players to decide whether to get in a group or not. (and if the experience counter is added to this, the group will have an idea about its potential)

3. Dungeon penalty for abbandoning the group

So many times I have been in rare dungeons’ groups that I spent 3 hours searching for ppl and when we got in, someone just left to go fractals or to another dungeon, being kitteny. There should be implemented a dungeon deserter debuff that will prohibity you from entering another one if you leave in the middle, without completing it. (But only when leaving, cuz if you are kicked, you will probably be kicked from the next group also xD)

4. The painful WvW issue

So, I am not against anyone here. I love the game and play it whether I am losing or winning. Both ways are fun. *Even three ways are fun (as far as it concerns WvW battles)!* :P But I cannot stop wonder about different time zones. So there legally covered ppl who can play from NA in European servers? How is this STILL loophole open? Why don’t you either make American players play at NA servers exclusively or not restrict them at all to play in European server or even merge NA and EU servers. I am mentioning this because the WvW population is very unbalanced as far as it concerns this issue, and kinda rips the fun out of it. And I am pointing out the word “Population”.

(PS to commenters: Please spare this post with comments like “You say this because you are losing” or “You suck at PvP” or anything like this. Keep a profile. FYI, even if I was in the Top server, I would be dissappointed because there would be no fun having no challenge at all. Fun is when you have to put your mind to it and actually have a challenge to do something, not just facerolling, ayto-attacking or taking a ride along a zerg and “yay! I got a Tower! They are noobs! They were 5 and we were 80 on every map at 5 a.m. GMT”

5. sPvP

sPvP has become very dull lately and I am more o a PvPer that PvEer. You get the 2 points (structures), you defend, you win. Up until lvl 80. This, the most balanced PvP out of all the MMO out there is becoming boring and that is not good!!! Implement some “CTF (Capture the flag)” or even some TOTAL teamplay skirmish that depend more on kills than on structures. Something like “Last man standing”. Or even a 3-way sPvP. Make guild sPvP and sPvP teams and Rankings for teams and players and restrict matchups according to their total team ranking.

Hello there everyone. I am wondering, if there will be any 7days-like basic trial gaming previews. I know it may be of some profit only for the company. So I am only saying this cuz I have some friends (as I am sure that many have some) that want to see first and experience a bit because they have not the commodity to buy a game just to see if he/she likes it. But a trial period (with marketing purposes) would be a little push to get a wider audience interested in the game. But that’s just my opinion. Thank you in advance

But, won’t I lose the extra crit dmg (plus might on weapon switch and/or -4 seconds on weapon change) and either signet cooldown (break up my full might rotation) or crit chance with adrenaline full (thus losing critical chance and my might stacking from GS)? Would it be much if I asked you to explain to me why should I do this? (No offence, I just wanna know your prespective since you seem to know something more than me)
Also, I use axes mostly like fillers in rotation to out put dmg and keep my might stacks up, but any other damage weapon would do the trick. Maybe there are other effective filler weapons set for secondary weapon set that are more effective than axes (?)

(also edited the previous post.. accidentally wrote 10, 25, 0, 0, 25. i meant 20, 25, 0, 0, 25)

Let me make a question here.
I am playing my warrior Glass Cannon with 85% crit.dmg, 65% crit chance, about 4.082 attack power almost constant (25 stacks of might and fury constantly, neverending and always stacking up with no breakups)… I use Power,Vit,Crit dmg (beryl jewels of the valkyrie) and Power,Precision,Crit dmg everything else. Have GS as main weapon and 2 axes for OH weapon. all have sigils of battle (3 stacks of might on weapon change in combat). Use 2 runes of fire, 2 runes of hoelbrak and 2 runes of citadel. my traits are 20 (V+IX), 25 (V+X), 0, 0, 25 (V+VI)…

For utility skills i use For great justice, Signet of might, Frenzy and for elite the Signet of rage. I use all utility skills and elite as soon as possible. In combat i always use HB->Swap weapons->Cyclone axe->Whirling axe->Dual Strike->Swap weapons->HB->WW Attack->blade trail->Rush->HB->Swap weapons and so on (In the meantime i use also the utility and elite skills that are ready, there is no casting time fro any of those skills. only signet of rage has some casting time but it builds up for the might and fury duration). For ranged battles i equip rifle with same stats… Almost never use Burst skills. Have constant Fury and Might. Dodge when needed withought breaking the rotation. Not having toughness but having vitality helps in survivability, since it is mostly speculated that toughness gets more aggro than vitality, so I stay almost 100% out of the bosses attention and damage him from behind or the sides (depending on the boss).
So, is this any good??? or have I missed the point with crit dmg and might? And is there any diminishing returns in damage from such attack power that I should switch to more crit dmg than power and fury?

Yeah, a resume (overall or individual) should be introduced into the game’s dungeons at least… It is very helpfull not only on defining an individual’s tactics on a given (or not) situation, but a whole group’s also (yeah, that is for a core/pre-defined group composition, but it can come so handy!)
