Guild Wars 2

Personally I think the testing will be in wvw and PvP is to demonstrate to people not interested in new maps etc. that unless we buy PoF we may as well quit the game. I’m pretty sure it will be the latter for me. Sick to death of the condi spam, dealing with it and being expected to play it.

I’m all for an invisible guild tag, or at the very least a distinct tag that indicates its a guild only run. And I am guildless, have been for a long time. I just like it that so I always pug.

I’m on TS if the commander is with my mic muted, unless the conversation just becomes unbearably innane. Anyway, a guild only tag would save me the trouble of running across the map to check the ratio of same/different guild names.

I am more irritated by commanders that insist I join squad only to stick me in a group of thieves, I mostly run necro, if I’m in squad I want stab or why bother?

As far as OP is concerned, I don’t know what to say other than join a guild. I’ve been on a few servers, always play wvw and have yet to come across one server where there isn’t at least one guild that welcomes everyone. They may not be very good but you’ll get a guaranteed spot in squad. If that won’t work for you or any of the other suggestions people have made then I hate to say it but the problem is yours and no one else’s.

Ya wow. If this what meant to make me anxious for PoF it was a complete failure. It just showed me the lack of thought or maybe the desperation? behind the next expansion. Neither is an attractive quality nor does it inspire confidence.

I can’t believe this is where anet decided to concentrate their efforts. It seems obvious to me they don’t want to make improvements to wvw that will bring back the people that play this game mode, they’re trying to appeal to the pve crowd.

I’ve basically quit playing but popped on for some saturday afternoon entertainment and found though I was playing in T4 the lag is ridiculous, as usual, condi’s, well nothing has changed about that disaster, class balance…yadda yadda. And yet Anet is trying to get me to pre-purchase PoF? Ya not likely.

I haven’t seen anyone mention that you used to be able to buy Liquid WvW experience. I think with laurels?? I know people that did this.

I know people that were more obsessed with increasing their rank than they were dedicated to wvw. So ya, rank doesn’t mean much in some situations. Sort of like the rune farmers I saw today, running in circles getting their pips while the actual commander tried to deal with being doubled teamed on home BL, with a qued map and 25 on tag…the rest were farming pips…..and rank no doubt.

Okay, so really what is Spiteful Spirit supposed to do now? Honestly you change the trait but can’t be bothered to change the tooltip??? How much programming does it take to change text?

In the approach to promoting the sale of the next expansion Anet had better do a lot better.

Spiteful Spirit is suppose to give 3s retal. Retal was removed from Unholy Feast.

And OP is correct, no retal on spiteful spirit.

Of course in other game modes…wvw for example, we call “wiggling”—— “moving” “rotating” “don’t stand in the bomb and cast”…

The Anet solution…rather than just have one messed up tier, lets totally kitten up the matchup and create imbalance in all 4 tiers. GG guys, way to convince people to stop playing.

Eval.2371:

Um no, my servers trebs are built by strong nord men. For strong nord men. If your not a nord, you splat. Simple as that.

Still need to consider simple aerodynamics. All those beefy appendages flailing around will definitely create problems. Wind will be an issue with my plan, air socks will be involved… Crafted by guild scribes from 5000 amalgamated gemstones.

I think trebs and catas ought to have an “equip asura” option but they would need to spec to survive impact. Anet poll Inc.

I’m on BG and have barely played in the last 2-3 weeks. Thing is if you take some time off for whatever reason then come back to the game, you realize how boring its become. That you just logged in out of habit for months now. I don’t know about the rest of BG but my absence isn’t due to some grand plan and it’s possible there are a lot like me. A reset of server links might bring me back out of curiosity but it probably won’t hold my attention for long.

A few times, more on my alt account but I don’t remember where. Its been a while since I moved either my main or alt. No point anymore, I used to keep one in T1 and the other in T3 or 4 for different fighting styles.

I have touched a tactivator, shortly after I came back after quitting post-HoT. "Hey what’s this.. ". Map chat exploded…..oops

I really couldn’t care less about rewards for wvw. I actually find the reward track, outside of the Halloween one annoying. Halloween is basically a gold track and who can refuse a 20 slot bag. The rest tho, just chests of kitten popping up non-stop while I’m trying to battle. Those and the kitten announcements of some irrelevant camp/tower capture obscuring my screen.

Lime most wvw players there are at least half a dozen things I’d rather vote to have them work on than what they’ve chosen to prioritize. Drastically reducing or removing damage to players from siege would go a long way towards getting wvw back on track IMO. Ands that’s just the low hanging fruit on the list.

But honestly the polls are just a way to give anet a false sense of approval for game development in wvw. There’s not really any good ideas coming out of them. Mostly players get an opportunity to try to vote against or troll the really really bad ones.

This thread is proof that literacy is not the same as comprehension.

@Nutz I have a fee for pointless arguments, if you like you can mail me 50g and I’ll continue.

@Nutz: It says 1 up 1 down would replace the glicko system. It doesn’t say anything about ending server links or an increase in transparency of server population.

Of course if you still trust Anet, this wouldn’t matter to you.

Because of the total lack of transparency in relation to what servers are deemed full and linking. How on earth can Anet justify giving Mag a link? A TI server. I thought maybe they were going to open BG then okay, that might balance out, but nope.

Linking servers, server population status and the manually adjusting glicko that has been going on through all the tiers, looks to me like match manipulation, not balance.

There is far too much fiddling behind the scenes in the wvw right now for me to vote for any kind of scoring changes. For me to keep playing Anet needs to make a decision about servers, perma-link or reduce the number of servers…period. Show the player base the actual population data of wvw, time zone, daily and weekly total.

Basically I’ve completely lost confidence in Anet’s vision (if it exists) for wvw and trust in their process. All these polls, to me, are just smoke and mirrors that don’t offer the player base any kind of real choice. The last could be boiled down to “do you want presents” or “do you want to give anet more control of the outcome of wvw matches”.

Ah kitten it, I’ll pick Santa.

Lag spikes increased in wvw since last patch. Skills seems to go off randomly, some not at all. Cool downs on skills without going off and never really sure where your character is.

Wow, even the crickets have left wvw.

I keep getting this message trying to log into wvw. I’ve restarted my launcher and still get this message. I’m on Blackgate server.

Any fix incoming?

No. Deployable canons poll…enough said.

YB is a boring opponent. Basically you have to drain their map of supplies, kill all their siege, get past all Anet’s cheese mechanics THEN you might get a fight. They’re like the guy in the drinking game bragging that he’s still sober at the end of the night. I’m all for sobriety but buddy pretty much missed the point or joined the wrong game. That’s YB, they’re in wvw to pve.

Oh ya its awesome. Now wvw is about getting past the endless banners and cc to keep the enemy from pulling a lever while you try to down the lord inside a three way map blob. If they get that airstrike off, its a wipe. All they need is one guy on that lever.

I tried to adapt but realized this evening, why would I want to. This wasn’t why I liked and played the game. The game I loved to play is gone.

I’m running win 8.1 so no its not a win10 issue. Also getting unplayable lag in sPvP

Yes, I’m having the same issues as the op.
