Guild Wars 2

MoonT.6845:

Conner.4702:

People please stop as if anet did something fanstastic here. WvW got trown a tiny bone after years of neglect and most of you are jumping with joy as if it is the best thing ever.

These changes while some are needed and some are dubious are not going to change WvW at all for the most part.

We are trying to gauge the changes proposed and offer suggestions for the improvement of the game Conner not fan-boy. Please add something or give feedback if you can to help ANet and thus ourselves as a WvW community.

moon, you must be new …
a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away there was a thing called CDI. over months wvw players made suggestions and gave feedback. lock at what we got. Befor the HoT release, there was betatesting of the new WvW maps, with some dedicated WvW Guilds. most of there feedback showed, that there will be problems with the new maps. Did Anet listen? Most of us are way past giving feedback.
im with conner here, there was nothing released, so why all the merrits? this thread is a testament to how badly anet threaths the wvw community and how desperate we’ve become, that we are 8 pages of joyous over tablescraps.

let me guess, the OP plays as a main perma Stealth Thief, likes to gank upleveled people and makes this outrageous proposition, because there are not enough people in wvw these days.

The sad thing is, that anet is more likely to listen to such people, than to wvw veterans

Offair.2563:

Hah, “major” overhaul. I only believe it when i see it, just like aliens.

i think aliens are more credible!

Valik Shin.9027:

What’s a “dev” ?

In relation to wvw, it’s that lonely intern, who inbetween fetching coffee, copiing documents, taking notes on important meetings (gem shop, sales, pve stuff) and more, tries to code some lines for wvw

i allready unlocked all specialisations, so:
1) replaying some great game trilogies (Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Witcher) or Anno 2205
2) searching youtube for new bbq videos (or cooking vids in general)
3) watching all the missed series

ArchonWing.9480:

Let’s be honest. Did you guys just forget about WvW?

nope, they didn’t forget, they never cared about wvw in the first place

no worries, anet will be kind to us and let us unlock this mastery for 10000 gems in wvw. the poor things have to make some money of the wvw players, those new big beautiful maps they gave us weren’t cheap

arnitheking.8427:

Seriously guys, you are so negative it’s incredible..

they arn’t negativ, they are realistic, given the love wvw players get from a-net

xXBAKESXx.6731:

It’s funny people still think EotM is real “WvW”

if you look at the new wvw map, anet seems to think this too

@ Boa: what he said!

an other factor is the limited time we have to play (yeah, most of us are afterwork warriors). in this time, we want to achieve something (what that is depends on the playstyle). but atm, the new map seems to be empty and one has do a lot of walking around, which isn’t fun for anybody

Wrong forum, belongs in PVE.

On topic: for a good Com in EotM, see my signature

it’s not a bug, it’s a feature!

and as with all other things inconviniencing the wvw players, the intern who’s responsible for all things wvw is currently occupied with fixing a bugged railing within the skritt caverne.
Look at the Bugs forum, the only thread where a a-net employee posted, was some problem for engies with the new collection in LA. that tells a lot about the priorities for wvw.

so move along, nothing to see here

Tentakelkatze.9317:

Same here :/

15 characters blah

dito

yeah, and while w’re at it, why not give every Player who enters wvw for the first time a stack of every siegeweapon and a legendary.

Oh and for all Players with silver rank or above a debuff of 50% on every stat, and no loot. Even better, they have to pay 10g to even enter the Queue to a borderland.

It’s always nice to see how a-net rewards the loyal Players !!!

to remind the people here: you don’t have to spy, you don’t even have to predict where the zerg is going. your trusted, well positioned sentry turrent will exactly tell you where the enemy zerg is.

Baldrick.8967:

Or, heaven forbid, ask the community for their take on it…

they asked the community, there are multiple CDI’s on different topics. The problem is, that after asking, they evaluate, they ponder, they discuss possiblities with the developers and after years of debate, they decide to implement things no one wanted, no one suggested and no one tested.

and they expect that we are incredibly grateful for what they’ve done for us!

Lord Kuru.3685:

And it’s unbelievable that the devs are still convinced white swords are a good idea. Even after all the outcry. Talk about out of touch.

the standart response to this is, that the people crying in forums are only a minuscule minority, and that most people are content with the status of the game.

And a-net has to cater to their most important customers, which are the gem buying players. so to ensure, that these casual players are happy even in WvW they have to dumb down the whole game and keep it simple, rewarding and karmatrainy.

in light of this i suggest the following changes:
- no more doors on structures (since sieging takes far too long)
- the time of capturing an objectiv should be reduced by half.
- the rewards in wvw should be as god as in eotm (also there should be always a magnificent chest, when capturing an object)
- if your group is smaller then 20 People, we receive a debuff and are automaticly immobilized near enemies, until death
- killing an enemy should give you an instant rank up (WvW rank) with a guaranteed precursordrop every 100 ranks
- upscaled players and rangers should get a buff of +50 to all stats and a ranged attack of 2500 which can shoot through walls.

To all the people concerned about thining out their ressources when the white swords are removed and more scouting is necessary.
as long as scouting isn’t rewarded properly, only a handfull of hardcore defensive players will do it.
so this change will turn wvw even more into a permanent karma train.

Jim Hunter.6821:

Wanderer.3248:

I don’t believe you. There’s no way to count how many defenders there are, and I’ve never seen defenders not come out when they had the numbers.

You must have never fought SoR

or kodash … ok they come out, but only after they built a superior AC for everyone in their zerg and they will only fight you in range of said AC’s.

the only thing imho that’s wrong with the disablers is, that they can be trown trough the closed gate (so there is no change to reflect them)!

este.8651:

This happened last night. This is an individual who has admitted to being paid by a rival server to do this. There really should be no confusion as to why these people are doing this. Dozens of people have reported this person for over a year and anet has done nothing.

at least he built ballistas, he could have build rams …

I didn’t knew that a-net intervened on this problem. if this is true and on all the other servers nothing was done, it’s another bad move from them

MiniMe.1960:

YARRR. The Karma train gets stronger. Maybe in future we do not have to fight anymore other people just kill npc’s. Well done Arenanet.
Could you also consider to remove the Gates so we don’t have to waste our time there?

Greets ’n kisses

This

eotm, so who cares. and btw wrong forum, eotm is pve

they promised performace improvements with this feature pack, so they had to restrict the performance so we can “experience” these improvements after release and hail a-net for all their hard work they are doing for the playerbase, especially the wvw-crowd

Father Busho.2796:

The sad thing is that when the tourny hits, the massive amount of PvE achievement hunters will flood the maps so Devon will once again be able to proudly announce ravishing WvW numbers…..
Its just pathetic imo.

This

And the added bonus that there are lag issues in WVW since over a week ago, and people disconnect for no apparent reason

Why play when you are kicked twice an evening

it’s all about what makes wvw fun to play. it would help if we knew which servers the disagreeing parties played on?

for some fun in wvw is defined by fighting against real enemies, no matter the time and to have “meaning” in their achievements while playing and beeing rewarded accordingly. for others it’s all about maximising their personal gain.

The only change they will make, if we all only play EotM is disable the WvW maps alltogether. and announce it in their Feature pack as a BIG improvement (like 3 new colors for Commander Tag)

This event should definitly be a regular thing (not every week, but once or twice a month). was fun, educational and worth of repeating.

and please everyone, spread the word to other guilds as well.

DoomKnightMax.6592:

I think it has been previously stated by developers to not submit support tickets and they have given us information on why we haven’t gotten the chests. No need to be restless.

no need to be hopeful. there are still people waiting for their season 1 chest

didn’t got my chest, riverside finished 2nd, achivement shows 4th, now do something

it’s much easier to ignore one thread and the mods don’t have that much work of deleting posts with good feedback and can concentrate more on the bad, bad people who are posting possible matchup discussions

with anets track record they will ban zergs. they don’t listen to anything serious wvw-players have to say (see the reaction to the CDI’s), but if a troll (and good gembuyer) makes a sugestion, they go for it.

MarkusParkus.8467:

Meglobob.8620:

Just watched the live stream, the person asking you about salvaging mistforged/hero weapons was not trolling you.

That was me! Sorry, was kinda trolling.. The new skins aren’t that appealing and I got 3 greens from the Season chest, was hoping for a decent reward!

wow, they massivly improved their rewards, got 2 blues and one green last season (this season i don’t know, cause i haven’t got the chest yet)

on a sidenote: you know this is wvw, the chance for a decent reward is the same as hell freezing over

look at the official ranking piken is 4th place

https://leaderboards.guildwars2.com/en/eu/wvwsilver

i would say a very good way to level (and far less costly then crafting). i’ve leveled a necro in 3 days (2 full matchups a 3h a day) from 20 to 80. although i have to say that i used a birthday booster

i see, lord fanboy is still activly defending every bad move the devs make.

OT: as style said

so guilds can’t run their guard/warrior-hammertrain anymore??

insanemaniac.2456:

naw dont report… video or screencap and open a ticket with anet or email it to them or something

they only bother with chat and lfg abuse from reports

they don’t bother at all, because it’s wvw. and only bad customers who doesn’t shell out a lot of money for gems play wvw.

+1 to everything Matipzieu KyA wrote. Read it, A-Net!!!!

i have to admit, that i changed server once, from Whiteside to Drakkar (but this was due to language contraints on my part, 3 months after release). But this is my home now, i have my guild here, there are the others who suffered with us through the highs and lows of our server and there is a familiarity with most commanders and guilds that would be lost in a RBG matchup.

Nuzt.7894:

Why are you even continuing with “CDI” threats that pertain to WvW? I’m honestly curious because the other two accomplished NOTHING. We will say we like and dislike blah blah blah and the team will answer with more Blah blah blah and then the thread will be promptly ignored as usual.

Still waiting on transfer costs based on server ranks not over all populations.
Still waiting on anyone of the suggestion made for commander tag to be used.

Sorry Chris but maybe you guys should follow through with at least something from the previous discussions before starting another.

I’m sure you will fool more people into thinking our opinion concerns your team with this thread though.

THIS

this feign interest from a-net makes me sick

oh unique skins, like the ones recently in gemstore with the flames (all reused existing skins with some additional fire)

did anyone in the wvw community wanted a new season?
aren’t there more serious issues in wvw to adress??

Jocksy.3415:

Shadowresli.3782:

@ Fenrir: name some wvw-guilds respected by the wvw community (like RG, VotF, etc.) that run with a ranger in their setup.
Unless you do so, you are just a rangerlover with no sense on reality!

RG did:
http://youtu.be/lej85Rb3fMU?t=13m10s

Thanks, i know this. If someone in our guild absolutly wants to run with a ranger, he has to consider this video.

But it’s from september 2013, and since then there was a big balance patch. I also follow chemsorlys twitch regularly, and as far as i’ve seen, godspeed raided with his guardian thus far

@ Fenrir: name some wvw-guilds respected by the wvw community (like RG, VotF, etc.) that run with a ranger in their setup.
Unless you do so, you are just a rangerlover with no sense on reality!

it’s wvw, learn to live with the fact, that you are playing a gamemode which is the redheaded stepchild of it’s developer.

on a sidenote, perhaps a-net could come up with a gemstore booster, that increases chances of rares in Rank-chest, say for 2500 gems a pop.

Shadow.9641:

Ogre also back, can´t wait to see your next GvG-Showdown “thumbs up”

So much ignorance, envy and hatred in this thread!
Some people should think about the fact (tbh its not gaugeable, but it´s true), that [RG] did a lot for WvW in GW2: they created a meta, the created tactics, they are ideals for former and actuall WvWers, they brought a ton of players to WvW and they gave their knowledge to the other WvWers.

Truly other guilds did this too and [RG] is no Crew of Gods, but [RG] is very good and well known example and maybe a step ahead to other guilds and this should be honored and respected.

Just think about that, take a look at their vids and then take a look at the style of WvW, as it was/is played in the past and in present

This!!!!!

RG is an example of what an organized group can do in open field warfare in GW2, and therefor a lot of likeminded people look up to them

They put the band back together. (If they are on a mission from God remains to be seen)

And they reside on Piken afaik.

There will never be any 2v1 when drakkar and miller are involved. our servers have one of the strongest rivalry between servers.

but it’s nice to see, that the RoS whining team is still active, they were missed in our last thread.

another fine example of how much a-net cares about the wvw community

To all the whiners from RoS about our playstyle on DL (see our last matchup Thread), How do you like Abaddon??

due to the new variances from a-net, Miller and gunnar are the most liklely opponents for us on drakkar. so until something drastic changes, we will be seeing you more often.

and btw, ODZ is a guild on Drakkar

what’s wrong with drakkar??
