TIE Guild Leader
Mag Commander
-Squad Icons only is a must. Way to many players follow tags that the guild groups do not want. Either do it this way or make it a lot easier to set up squads so the leader can tag down.
-Do not bring back crafting stations in wvw ever. This should have never even been put into wvw. Way to many pve players just sit in home bl when people are needed to defend. Go to pve land that’s what its for.
-For heavens sakes wtf did you guys do to mortars? if you wanted to add damage to mortars make the burn ticks on siege not players. Siege is already bad enough. We need less siege and more players to learn to fight.
-Please reduce the 1,565,123,123,kitten ,546,000 boxes I need to open to get my 1 item. You are doing nothing by this and just kittening players off.
-The lag in game has gotten out of hand. Been playing since day 1 and most of the time the game becomes unplayable. Reduced particle effects for ccs and such would really go a long way. I really do not need to see a 75 ft tall dragon coming out of a rev to make me play wvw. Simplicity goes a long way in the gaming world.
-Bring back the orb system or something like it. Hell even the quaggans were more enjoyable than the current system for buffs. I don’t understand you fixed the bugs with the orb system and just took it out which honestly was a huge part of wvw back then.
-Oh you want to fix the boon share meta? Nerf the hell out of condis and all will be fixed. Without the stacks there is no need for boon share metas and guilds might actually start thinking again of how to run a comp.

Let the jerking begin… #Magswag
Good thing they probably got that score with skill and not 5v1 condi gankers, right? RIGHT?
God Bless your salt.
anet this last poll is a joke right? Fix the issues at hand and leave more siege crap out of this game. You are literally making this game all about siege and tower hugging than people actually learning to fight. You want deployable cannons keep that crap in eotm and out of wvw.
I would suggest some improvements to the linking system anet if you are going to continue to use it.
I believe you are basing your links off of server population not wvw population. If I am wrong then I stand corrected.
1. Anet you need to verify population during time zones not just population. Then pair up servers that have off hour coverage with servers that do not have off hour coverage.
2. The top six servers do not need linked with anyone. Ive fought all 6 so far and been just blobbed down by every server in all timezones.
3. Close down the bottom 3 servers and give free transfers to any server not in the top six. There are to many server loyalists who refuse to go to a higher server.
4. Once you have figured out the wvw population correctly you could do a rotation. The tiers could stay the same but you could do a round robin with other servers instead of playing the same servers over and over again like before. So say top three are bg, tc, yb. All three of those servers go to play in different tiers with better coverage servers.
What you have done is basically stacked all the top servers in t1 and t2 anything below this has lost more and more guilds over the past few weeks because not much left to fight.
Just my two cents

Complain all you want about blocks, invulns, or evades. Until you get rid of condi trash who never learned to play a class at all I’m going to block, invuln, and evade you till you learn to play a class right.
Although I agree that the changes to the desert bls are a lot better there are still room for improvements.
1.The terrain is fine minus a few little things imo. The distances between the northern towers need to be less for defenders. It is already a really long run to the 2 southern towers due to terrain. On the alpine maps both towers were right outside spawn. It was like this for a reason. Garrison is the most important place on the map and both northern towers supported garrison. Now there is no real strategic advantage of holding either tower so no one worries about them anymore. In turn their are less fights up north.
2. The map itself is still way to large. Even with qued maps it takes so long for defenders to get anywhere that does not have a wp on it. I like that you have to guard wps like before but the fact it takes forever to get to a keep without a wp is almost impossible for a defending group to save. Once again less fights on the bls.
3. With more entry points into a keep it makes it near impossible for roamers to scout which used to be a huge factor on bls. Maybe a few less entry points per keep and garri. Once again less roamers means more karma trains, in turn means less fights because roamers will not scout maps that no one will come to help. Honestly, it should not take 20 mins to scout a keep or garri trying to find a group who is hitting it.
4. Not sure if this was brought back so if I’m wrong I apologize now. The wp timers used to be a huge thing. I believe it was every 3 minutes you had like 2 seconds to spawn to help. If this is gone it needs to be brought back. Not every server has 100 guilds on it placing emergency wps. Plus it is a 30 min timer I believe so if someone trolls it you have already lost the battle. I would like to see any keep or garrison without a emergency tactivator get the 3min rule brought back. If you implement a emergency wp it neutralizes the 3min rule. Or something to that effect. Once again the more you allow defenders to come save important structures the more fights you will get on bls and less ques on ebg.
your are joking right? There are so many ways to get out of your spawn.
cloaking waters needs removed totally. It is being abused completely. If you want to keep it make it only work inside outer/inner smc.
damage should always break stealth or every kitten would play thief constantly and the game would be no fun.
1. Shut down EOTM or make it uplvls only. I will say it again you are sucking life from your other maps because of eotm.
2. If the new bls stay make them 1 level and about half the size. oh one more thing YTF CANT WE SPAWN AT OUR OWN KEEPS? kittened. I understand the emergency wp thing but it is just to much.
3. Standardize siege. Their is nothing worse than some condi necro on a ac or mortar. This should have been done from day one.
4. Please bring either old stab back or revamp stab now. You guys have created a kittened 6 headed range monster and people have no clue how to fight anymore.
5. The new tag system is nice but, I would like to be able to set a party limit and set a group comp. This would be huge since I have to use the tag system now.
I commend you guys for trying anet. I hope it is just not to late. A lot left when HOT came out and might never come back.

As a former guild leader of TIE and pugmander of Maguuma. The state of WvW is miserable. Players no longer take the time to learn a class or build or anything that takes skill. They run and grab these banners and sit back and laugh because they can 1 shot almost anything on the field. It is appalling and sad that anet has put something like this into a scenario that used to take skill and teamwork, which is something anet used to promote.
I played against FA last night that had no less than 9 banners with a full que blob. I am not saying that our guys do not use them no. I am sure they do.
Here is a hint anet MORE AND MORE people are leaving your game because you have screwed WvW to the point that no one wants to even play. You want to make money fine. Well so do we. We paid to play a concept that you have failed to provide for and instead of taking the time to get to know your player base, you just force non sense down our throats for the sake of making a dime.
Wake up anet gw2 will die soon.

Some time ago before eotm came about I posted my thoughts on how to stabilize and maintain server population with a game that is losing numbers. I do not want to go on about server loyalty b/c it would make me a hypocrite. I started on SFR, moved to JQ, then to mag, TC, IOJ, and back to MAG. Took me a while to find where I fit in the most and realized Mag was it. I love the guys and gals on Mag and when we are trolling the kitten out of each other we do what we do best and that is bag the hell out of opposing servers. Anyways my thoughts on how to fix the servers without going to extremes and making it eotm style forever.
1. Shut down the bottom 4 lowest pop servers on both EU and NA sides.
2. Shut down the top 6 highest pop servers for recruiting (for a period of around 3-6 months.)
3. Offer those leaving a bottom 4 pop server a free transfer to any server besides the top 6. Yes, I understand some might not want to go but the loyal guys to the game will easily go to another server to play.
4. Make eotm up levels only. Anyone ranked 80 loses access to this game mode.
5. Re-work the server system. Round robin style instead of tiers and hold playoffs for tournaments.
6. Not sure if this is possible at all but, give the EU and NA servers a chance to play one another. (if possible)
7. If say the servers start to become to full again as far as optimal population. You open 1 server for both EU and NA timezones.
Like I said this is just my opinion on the matter.
•Describe a typical hour for you in the Alpine Borderlands in the past. For example, What size of group were you running in? What kind of tasks did you run? What activities did you do?
•Compare your experience described above with a typical hour spent in Eternal Battlegrounds, if you went there at all. Does your style of play change between the 2 maps?
•Compare your experiences described above with an hour spent in the new borderlands.
•Describe the nature of combat in the borderlands in the past. How have the new borderlands impacted this paradigm for you? What style or build changes might it cause? For example, knocking people off cliffs or into lava might play a more important role.
•In your experience, compare the time it takes take a structure or objective here, then it did in the past.
•How is the loot and wxp for you compared to in the past? Will it be able to sustain whatever you are doing? Did it take a hit, or was it improved? If you are planning to unlock an elite specialization, do you think you were helped or hurt in these regards?
Do you think you could pursue any other in-game goals just by playing WvW?
•How will the map change impact the long sessions (multiple hours) you spend in WvW?
•In 100 words or less, describe how the new BLs could be improved.
•In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a new WvW player.
•In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a veteran WvW player that is new to the maps.
•Which map am I most likely to find you currently, if you’re on Gw2?
We upgraded our guild hall to have the second tier arena. Watched the movie and a waypoint appeared. Once I got my guildies in their to check it out we had to move to a different map which honestly needs to be removed or increased to say 25plus, and then the waypoint disappeared and now the guild hall is really bugged. Not sure if this is a ongoing problem with anyone else?

I am strictly a WvW player that is being forced to pve to gain access to to specializations that I will only use in WvW. Let me repeat WvW. This was the one thing that kept me coming back since the beginning was the fact you didn’t force me to pve to get something I needed. Anet you added hero points the WvW maps but 1 and you can only get 1 for each BL in the same spot? Yet you made me get a vista or poi on 3 different BLs before?
The new WvW maps are entirely to large. Yes you can still have fights in a few select places on the map but, now that the entire eotm population has moved to where the actual fights happen, they decide to jump gloriously to their deaths instead of actually fighting. The keep champs while I do love a challenge completely wreck groups and needs nerfed. Last time I checked WvW was about servers fighting other servers. You just basically made another pve map and once everyone gets over the whole hot hoopla they will realize its not about fighting anymore. It’s about making sure you have the most upgrades on the guild hall trait line for wvw and exploiting the hell out of a map as a guild.
The only thing that is keeping me here now is I added stripper pools to the guild hall. Thx anet at least you got that right.
Snoops
I cant find him either
any ideas of where this douglass bird guy is? hes kinda holding up guild hall progress.
I reported earlier about the game crashing while in the new maps. Havent seen anything yet on how to fix it. please help
Everything was working fine and I was in the new maps a something sorry cant remember the name. Now I keep crashing out and its giving me inconsistent page size error. When I log on to another character In another map everything works fine. Please fix

…/…….Sigh Anet. So first I want show anet why this will not work then I will offer the only solution that might be viable.
Since gw2 launch anet has done a good job at when they had reset. NA players follow the weekend rules which in turn created a huge player base for reset on Friday nights. Does everyone get a chance to play? Of course not, I myself cannot make resets now because I Work 3rd shift.
Not one NA guild that I Can think of and of course I Could be wrong, is going to say ok guys we are going to raid Saturday days now guys. You will absolutely destroy wvw by switching to this time.
Think about you’re player base anet. Ages 10-18 years old have school Monday through Friday. So this is what lot do Friday nights. Saturday day they are with their families and such. Ages 18-30, if they decided to not go out on Friday nights they play gw2 by Saturday day they are already busy. 30-whatever age. We are off work normally on Saturday and Sunday. By Saturday day we are busy with family and friends.
You will lose this player b ase I assure you. I only have 2 viable solutions. 1. leave it be, why mess something up that’s not broken? 2. Push reset up a day not back a day. So basically EU And NA would switch.

I do apologize my insolence needs to be addressed.
Come to mag. We even love ^lvl rangers. Nacho commands naked, Xushion is Atristotle born again, Kalkz finally got un home less, Div claims more bags than small pox, Duke, the one commander that literally can unite wvw with pve, with dungeons. Duke brings more people out of mag than the zombie apocalypse, Shadowscreed this guy could Ninja a garri with a 80 man que blob on one side and a 90 man que blob in front of him and then some how take keeps on the different maps at the same time, and Snoopy (me) am quickly becoming a raging alcoholic commander on Fridays and Saturdays. If you want to learn how to fight without 150 necros and 200 guardians, this is the place to be.
DO IT NOW!!!!!!

First off HOPE, best video I’ve seen in a while, the music made me laugh my kitten off. I have been on a vast number of servers to include: SFR, JQ, MAG, and TC I have learned a ton from each server and I do not regret being on any of those servers. As far as a T1 breakdown well I do believe the system is broke not the people in it. It is very obvious that my server (MAG) does not have the coverage to be in gold league. We lack serous ocx coverage and early EU. This becomes apparent when our NA shows up and we absolutely wipe most servers and that is being honest. Our NA is very very good and that is well known. If GW2 would want to fix the system base it on the numbers in coverage times maybe try that first and then select brackets.
Now I will give credit where credit it is due, T1 does an excellent job at defending objectives building siege and upgrading is the way to go no doubts there and this is all in part because yes T1 has the coverage to have guilds do certain things at certain times. This is something smaller servers just do not have the man power for. We have to resort in fast hits map hopping and keeping servers off guard and trying to keep everything paper in order to accomplish our objectives.
As far as fighting is concerned, T1 has huge number advantages which in turn has spawned smart players to organize groups to learn how to fight. Sorry T1 you created the monster deal with it. Get out of your blob mentality and learn to actually fight something besides a door. We actually managed to upgrade a certain BL last night on a map and a certain T1 server about crapped themselves when they showed up in 60+ and just couldn’t mindlessly beat on a door to take it down, was quite comical actually. Once again though it became a coverage issue because once again we do not have the numbers to sustain 50+ on all maps.
Now on all this debate about double teaming and T1 tactics. If you are a T1 server and need to help another server all I am going to say to that is WOW! This is a game have fun were not getting paid to do this. This isn’t reality TV and you are not going to be famous at the end of the day. Now I’m not talking about back capping something when someone is fighting another fight. Smart play and I am all for it. I am talking about literally blocking a path for one group just so another group cannot get in. So bad and get better. Just really, really sad that some servers need a crutch to even have a chance to come in last anyways.

“They’re So Angry”
As a so called T1 noob, I do pay attention in fine detail to those I play against. Do I care about winning in wvw no. I do love wvw but I really do not care. I play on sfr and have been since the 2nd week I joined. I am a NA player in a EU guild due to the fact that most of my old bf2 buddies formed a guild and they are almost all EU players. I played the whole week last week and I must say it has been the most fun in wvw I have had since I started. After maybe the first 2 weeks of me being on sfr we got our stuff together and starting winning. We easily dispatched most of the servers we faced. I am here to tell you it was not our night crew doing it either. I play between the hours of 10pm and 3am EST and we had a very small dedicated smart crew fighting the night zergs. Always outnumbered we outsmarted the enemy and defended our key points on key maps. As far as prx is concerned I am not a part of them but of course they have had a huge impact when we faced vz and bt partly due to bt hours of play and the vz having a good night crew every night.
Here is the thing though all last week up until maybe thursday I would say fights were about even and I quickly learned most of the guild names I was facing. After Wed. night I started seeing all these different guild names that I had never seen in the past 3 days of fighting. Now we go into the current week of fighting and vz has almost triple the numbers at night and the zerg is relentless. I just got off the EB server xmas eve 11pm my time our keep was taken by no less the 60 vz lmaoooo it was so bad I could only see 10 at a time and then the zerg just followed. I mean it has to be like 5am there in Frenchie land right? Do all the French hate Santa or something Now I am not saying anything about recruiting because any server must recruit to survive but, something obviously happened between this week and last. I think honesty would be the best route for some of those guys complaining lol.
