Guild Wars 2

NO, they need too fitful their promises from the last expansion before they give us another and expect us to pay for that one too.

it is like if i brought a car, and they said we’ll add the sets later.. now they want to sell me a new car, but i still don’t even have all the sets I was meant to get for the first car I brought.

Dashingsteel.3410:

Actually Anet said a set of 16 new legendaries with HoT

Not with HoT. The 16 legendaries were stated to be post-launch content, which would be released in small groups at regular intervals until the full set was complete.

But HoT is needed to make them right? so.. should they not finish HoT content before they release some new expansion?

Dashingsteel.3410:

Actually Anet said a set of 16 new legendaries with HoT

Thank you

They have not even finished delivering on the last expansion? I’m still waiting, yes, STILL WAITING for the full set of second generation legendary weapons that were promised to use back at the start of HoT!

Now I hear they are about to announce a New expansion?!?!?! Do they have any moral compass at all?

I’m sorry but I have been fooled once. they won’t fool me again!

So I took a break a bit after the big server merge in WvW. I come back and the numbers look worse than before the merge?! WvW seems beyond pointless right now. Where did everyone go? on CD btw.

they need to fix this! I think I’ll just give up on the game if upgrading my PC dose nothing. Overwatch at Max setting and I can hit over 200FPS constantly. GW2 max settings and its 30-59FPS. the bottleneck is in the GW2 code! needs fixing!

same thing. i just got a GTX1080. before i had a GTX580. but the game hardly runs any better at all. but other games, like Xcom 2, Tomb raider, Witcher 3, Deus Ex, Overwatch…… the difference is like night and day.

I was hoping for a constant 60FPS in WvW, but its 32 to 59 depending on the fight. its no better than my old card?!?!?!?!?! CRAZYNESS

Khisanth.2948:

Dawdler.8521:

It does. Its called the Engineer.

That still has a 0.7s cooldown :P

you sure its not that other tool they like to use?, lagdown.

Thanks Jana that’s a great idea.

And Rink, my ping is an average of 220, playing from NZ (new zealand). i have just come back to the game after playing a few months of Overwatch at only 40 ping.

Its a hard pill to take coming back… believe me.

Like what we have in PvP, we need it for WvW!

I’m am soo sick of asking myself WTF just happened. If we could review and look back at what killed us it might relive some of the rage that comes along with dying to WTF?!

Also better ping would go along want to helping too, but I’m guessing that’s impossible with current technology.

Ceridwen.6703:

She’s just adorable! I’d like to be able to look after her full time. Can I retire from general adventuring about to do just that?

0.o Our tastes clearly differ. I think it’s one of the most ugly dragons I have seen…. i want to care about it and did, but once i saw it……… I could not even force myself to like it.

sorry to say but that model for the dragon is but ugle. would have to have a total makeover.

Simple question, lots of people have been asking for it for a long time now. so where is it? and if we are not getting it, why not?

my guess is the majority (solo players) have to sacrifice their fun and enjoyment for the minority (group player) or groups would never get games right?

it was a fair game, I’m not talking about that. it’s the emerald in the game. I’m not even t1. wasn’t it meant to be up to 3 tiers above and below your tier?

mind you they change to rules so much now without telling people, who knows…

there you have it.. MMR is still FUBAR. wish they would start with a clean slate, season 2 just messed up all the stats.

nevermind the Q times -.- . All the crap match ups must be putting people off,

are you kidding me?

season 1 was good, season 2 was kitten, season 3. I think I’ll just throw in the towel now. also the games feeling more and more clunky. I click skills that don’t happen, or I stop moving after using one, or get stick for no reason. It all just adds up to torture. never mind the MMR. Screen shot of my last game. it was a close game, that is not my problem, it’s the 2 emerald in my game……. it’s just a sick tormented joke.

so no change to MMR? guess I’ll sit this one out too, after destroying my stats last season, so I always ended up on the worse team.

So long as personal rewards are the same all over, night capping or not, I don’t mind too much. but if prime time get more, or better rewards they “night cappers” (ocx/sea/eu players) I think you really need to rethink it some more.

Though like someone said, it might make ocx/sea/eu players play less in their time zones because they feel their time is worth less than “prime time”, so why play at that time?

Some really great ideas there BordeL! it’s a shame that the fans are doing Anet’s job for them, that Anet is getting paid to do…. or not do as might be the case.

Are Anet really considering this? they should leave it. they can’t win. either way they go, they will be screwing over the other half of the world player population.

I have no problem with night capping. WvW It is a War is it not? and there are lots of people from all over the world playing, why should some get a preference over other just because they live in a different part of the world? diminishing the efforts and time other people put in.

like what hmsgoddess said:

hmsgoddess.3869:

WvW = War. War is a 24 hour thing. It doesn’t stop just because you went to bed. I am so tired of hearing about nightcapping and scoring. work on ways to overcome those challenges. Your playtime isn’t more valuable than others.

Now with queues for most of the maps at times, sometime over 80+ ( meaning hours). Would it be possible to change class without having to leave the map and getting push to the back of the queue?

the number of time I have had this….

I see a group of people standing, some on one side , some on the other. Some fighting in the middle. clearly a duelling situation.
I run around, off to do my own thing. knowing they are “duelling” and should not bother me.

But.. 2 that were standing watching pull off and gank me. so yeah. I have had it with duellers. You want to do that, take it to SPvP or your guild hall.

Thirty four times bitten, thirty fifth time shy. I know everyone is different and there are some “honourable” duellers out there. But a few have given you guys a really bad rep.

If its red, I don’t trust it at all. NPC included, you gimpy trolling Yaks that are shadow stepping 50 meters back.

that said, if it still looks like a legitimate duel, I’ll try not to mess it up. but by Dwayna, if they jump me, I’ll be back to get them. or call in support.

sure there were some queues, but never waited in one, just went to a map that was not full. still had lots of good fights. And I’m sure in the down times, like in 20 mins when I log in after dinner, there will be lots more people to play with, unlike before…..

yeah so far so good.

not saying it a colour I would use but pink would stand out.

-Black
-White
-Silver
-Pink
-Orange
-Green
-Electric blue……. wait…..

can we get flashing tags!? like one that could fade from a dark red to a bright red and back again over say a 2 seconds flashing faster if in combat ? would mean more limited colour options but they would be hard to miss people.

make it an extra 150g, “the supreme commander accessory hand book” with all the bells and whistles. with flashing tags, more colours, maybe with guild symbols ( that are under the tag like what the rev Herald icon) horn sounds ( that the other WvW server could hear if they are close enough)

What’s going on, Anet shafted us. Too many carrots at the end of ropes. For once they chough up and tell us the carrots not even coming, after we paid for it. Maybe Anet are starting to reap the rewards of the seeds they sew….. Legendry’s on the Trade post might be the fall out? who knows.

wait, will it have 16 brand new legendry’s weapons!!

than NO! they sold me that dead rat once, I’m not falling for it a second time.

The hard truth is, like I and some others have said. EoTM was created as a overflow service for WvW. So whatever it is they have planned for WvW, whether it be server merger? mega server whatever. EoTM must also be taken into consideration to help find the solution to population balance. As it is an off shoot of the WvW population in the first place.

Xenesis.6389:

Silverstone.4539:

I did not see any WvW in the trailer… does that mean WvW is getting nothing again with this patch, even after all the talk?

They already stated the new wvw rewards system will be in the patch and the population balance beta on the friday reset. What exactly did you all want them to show in the trailer?

maybe a quick screen of the new points/rank/reward tab? or a quick clip of the Alpine BL. After what Anet did with the legendry weapons (yes, still bitter), I don’t take anything they say as truth. I take a “I’ll believe it when I see it” approach. and in that trailer, I saw nothing to do with WvW.

I did not see any WvW in the trailer… does that mean WvW is getting nothing again with this patch, even after all the talk?

I’m not in T2 or even in WvW right now, (taking a break). But part of me thinks this is good from what I’m hearing. Maybe it will wake Anet up to see how farcical the system is if guilds can just jump ships when they feel like spicing things up.

joneirikb.7506:

FogLeg.9354:

My advice is to find nice and friendly WvW Guild and run around with them, even if its only small guild like 10 people. So many things are better with nice group of friends, but specially WvW.

The truth.

Sadly this is not really an option, as there are no guilds around with 10 people on at the time I mainly play, or even 5 for that matter. And I do.. did play a lot. Like I said, I do run with other tagged guilds on TS, but its only for an hour, then they all log off, and that’s if I log in early, Then I’m left for 5 more hours with almost no one around. Watching anything that was archived crumble away. ( I’m a kiwi on a NA server btw) I have even tried building up a guild, but that’s a problem in its self. hard to build a house where there are no solid building materials around. And I understand, a lot don’t want to commit to a WvW guild, it can feel like a trapping in its self.

Thanks for your support and ideas. I will take a break till the next big patch is out.

Just one man’s misguided belief that what he did mattered.

Been WvWing for years. Was on and off the first year of lurch mixed with PvE and PvP, after that is was pretty much all it did when I logged in. The last 3 months have been the tipping point. This story might be how others feel, I’m not sure.

I guess I’m what lots would call a PUG, though I am in a guild with a few that are almost never on. I get all my own siege. Sometimes follow a Tag on TS. I do Tag up from time to time when I feel something can be done, or when something should be done and no one else is doing it. But it’s often in the down time, when hardly anyone else is online on our server. I try. I see something that needs to be done, like getting a camp so supply can keep coming in, or back capping a tower, or building a ballista to take out the enemies siege before it’s too late. Yet 80% of the time no one else does it…. it’s the Classic, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Now.. this is where it can get hard and draining. I feel like I have to do everything myself and be everywhere at once. There is the odd time where some good soul will help out building that ballista or capping that tower. But it is happening less and less. I drop siege I have to man it, ask map chat for someone to cap a camp, 5 minutes later I’m the one over there capping it. I give up asking.

The game/people just take take take. Time, siege, personal wellbeing due to anger at my fellow man. I had to ask, why am I doing this. Would anyone care if I stopped? I don’t think so. The truth hurts, I thought I was helping.. for what?

Maybe this big “WvW rework” will be the silver bullet. I’m not sure. It will be the peoples attitude that will need fixing, now my own included. In the last week I have helped less, said less in chat, why should I try when so few others are? it’s taken awhile but I’m becoming what I hate in WvW, just another mindless drone. So I should to get out now, before I become that guy that never man’s siege, never carries supply, only helps tag when he feels like it. I don’t want to be that guy, but I think it might just be the evolution of WvW players. Destroyed heartless zombies piggy backing on the few that are trying to keep their heads above water.

I’ll take a break, maybe that will help.

Jana.6831:

Silverstone.4539:

I’m fine with people that want to fight, I just don’t like bad sports that go too far.

Well obviously not because you never use food out of principle and call everybody who does and who dares to attack you “dirty”.

if someone kept binging a gun to a knife fight, would you want to keep fighting with them?

Jana.6831:

If you’re not in wvw to fight and are seriously outraged if someone starts to gank you, then why are you even in wvw?
Ah alright, the food thingy – everyone who beats you and uses food plays dirty while you never use food so you have an excuse if you lose – makes perfect sense… looks the other way

I’m fine with people that want to fight, I just don’t like bad sports that go too far.

That must be it. I keep running in to Dueller roamers. if I want to Duel, I’ll do it in SPvP where it’s a little bit (balance problems withholding) more fair.

Other night, same bloody thing. I was on my glass ele, just going about capping stuff. Some kitten mes starting dogging me (with food). I knew I could not bet him with my set up, so tried to avoid him, and he was Condi/stealth crap. but somehow he keep tracking me down. after killing me a 4th time I said F it, and change to my engineer. meat him again at a camp. killed him twice and never saw him again?

was he a Dueller or roamer? to me, he was just a kittening kitten. I never! ever started the fights, even when I was on engineer, he always started them.

As for the food – I never use food as a matter of principle. so if I lose, “well he had food” if i win – " Ha, and he even had food" its win win for me

well I don’t know what you’re doing or how your playing so can’t judge.

Only roamers I don’t like. Are the ones that use food buffs vs people that don’t use them. Start the fight, but run or stealth if they look like they are going to lose, but keep coming back to catch me off guard when I’m hitting a camp. That to me is a dirty roamer… but I don’t know, maybe that’s what a roamer is meant to be nowadays? if so, that is a sad state of affairs indeed.

yes, WvW banners. and lords. they can’t just change CC vs human players, without thinking of the reputations it will have on every other type of play.

NO, the old would be no better than what we have now. the old way was changed because it had its own problems.

They either need some new again, though I’m not sure what, or they need to look at cutting down the amount of CC in the game. However this would be a big task, as there are now Brake Bars all over the place now, PvE, WvW, Raids, you name it, even in the new PvP map. So I don’t think they can change the CC without changing a lot of other things.

whatever they do, there will be winners and losers.

I would +1 this. even if it was something in the gem store like some have said. but it would need to more than 10 slots. enough to fit 1 stack of every type of siege. Managing 10 characters all having their own siege is a chore.

Zephyra.4709:

This.

It pains me to see how cruel, mindless & un constructive some players perceive things.

“I don’t like people playing X game mode, so let’s remove it completely so they are forced to play the one I play.”

What kind of logic is that?

Removing content is the pinnicle of selfishness, a poisonous action that alienates certain players from playing said removed content and leaving them in the dirt with only one option, one they either like or don’t. I would think the latter if someone removed content permanently that I enjoyed playing.

It’s sad people are blind when it comes to stating such silly proposals; would removing content entirely ushering in all those unhappy players solve the existing problems in YOUR preferred game mode that is “real WvW”?

.

Why not? Anet just did that with legendry weapons as a trade for Living story. And they did not even ask the players.

I’m just glad this is a topic and it getting talked about before some drastic just happens… again…

that would be in most cases, just be bigger population numbers

Ben K.6238:

If there’s more in EotM than WvW, that means EotM is working better. So removing it would be absurd

But there is a good reason for this. EoTM draws from lots of different servers to make up the numbers for the 3 teams. WvW only draws from your home server. So the T6,7,8 WvW servers that are generally pretty quiet go to EoTM to find action. Making the home WvW servers even more quiet.

Originally EoTM was made as an overflow for when WvW maps were queued. That has changed. Maybe the game should change too. Someone said, kill WvW and just keep EoTM, well maybe that is an option too. Either way, something needs to change.

In the current state I don’t think both can keep going. Maybe WvW should draw players in low population servers as EoTM dose?

Maybe it was needed back in the day, when there was high population in WvW servers. But now, I think I see more people in EoTM than I do in WvW maps.

If Anet are true to their word and want to see WvW good again (i know, a little hard to believe right now), they must consider this.

EoTM is sucking WvW population. More so for the lower tier servers maybe. As you can go there to find more people from more servers. If there is a queue on all WvW maps, then and only then should EoTM be open, and for a shorter time, maybe 2 hours or an hour. If there is no queue for WvW. EoTM should be locked out. We are spreading what little WvW players we still have too thin.

Unless Anet has something new planed to fix the WvW/server population. This would be one way to start.

Well DH bow skill 5 is only adding to the problems in my opinion. half the time you can’t even see it, it’s just a red ring like everything else.

Before, stability was simply on a time, like 3- 8 seconds, it never just “came off” as it does right now, no stacking, you either had it, or you didn’t, it was a blanket cover. if you got CC 50 times in 3 seconds you had it on, you were fine.

Soo… I don’t know how they will be changing it back because it will just go back to the way it was before, where classes that can roll a lot of Stability, just steam roll over the ones that cant.

The grass is not greener…..

so I am interested in what they do with it. But if they mess it up, like they did saying they were stopping any development on the new legendry’s. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr , might be time to uninstall….

ok, maybe 2 minutes is a little short, but there does seem to be general consensus that what we currently have is too long.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Legendary-weapons-6/first

starting most of this off, but I think its been building for some time now.

Anet are destroying their own community

To be fair this has been happening for a while. But this is like the final nail in the coffin for some (indefinitely suspend legendry weapons). After bad balanced patches, neglected game types, now also broken promises on top of broken promises. some of the people in game are not happy. There is a toxic atmosphere in many game types I’m finding now. Along with a helpless feeling. I want to help fix it all but can’t. it’s also not my place to.

I for one feel betrayed by the company, there by effecting my mood and how I conduct myself while playing their game. It is a slow and systemic failure by Anet that has lead to all of this. I don’t want to walk away, but one can only do so much, and take so much.

Been playing GW from 2005
