What I have noticed about my server (Dragonbrand) is that unless there is a guild group on the map, only 25-50% of the players in our zerg will be in the TS channel. I advertise our server’s TS as much as I can to get more people listening but the number of people never goes above 50%. I feel like a lot of the players who join our map zergs do not understand how important voice chat is for winning zerg fights. How can I show the usefulness of voice chat to people who don’t use it, and don’t want to try? I want to change the culture of our server, because I have a feeling that the casuals on the T1 and T2 servers are more likely to use voice chat than we are.
I think this is a serious problem for my server, I’ve seen situations where our zerg was the same size as the enemy’s but our commander would not engage because he knew the enemy was more organized (staying tight, stacking might, etc.).
Built in voice coms are now a new standard in the industry thanks to Sony(PS-2, EQ2). It is on Anet to build a coms system. I know they wont. It does not matter any ways WVW is dead. All the good pvpers left this game a month after it released bored of grinding the same hammer war/guardian combos you guys are still grinding today.
dry toast pvp, harcore pvpers from daoc/warhammer bored. couple of ideas
in WvW

The problem with WVW is Anet has done literaly nothing. No participation based scoring system. No performance fixes, zero balancing for WVW. I dont expect that to change. It requires the performance fix first and an entire new forumal for every skill in the game including how endurance works. Ask yourselves if you honestly believe that is ever going to happen based on the developement history and rate of patching?
Listen. It all comes down to there being ZERO balancing for WVW. You cant use the same skills in pve, spvp and expect them to work in WvW. We all know this. Its pvp game design 101. So instead of asking them to reduced dmg ect and I agree its INSANE right now I would ask them to “do something” because so far they have done “nothing” and thats only going to make Sony and Aventurine richer this holiday.
Just make a macro that spams #1 and run with your zerg. Dont forget to make sure autotarget is on.
It used to run great. Even at cap wvw population. The second we heard them use the word culling the entire game fell apart. Its costing them millions in revenue no doubt and with pvp centric beta programs abundant thousands of players every week.
This official statement is nothing more then softcore damage control. Nobody with a 3rd grade math level expected peak hour scoring systems. We ALL expected participation based scoring. We have been saying this from the very start of wvw in beta. We are still saying it now.
For the love of god are we getting a participation based scoring system or not? PVPers around the world are tired of waiting for an answer. Time is not infinite.
come on, lets face it, we are in a world where it is much easier for people to find loopholes in programming… as the programming becomes more complex, and brand new systems are developed for things…. new exploits and hacks are found and have to be dealt with.
obviously a net doesnt want anyone cheating in WvW.. this doesn’t get them ANY money… unlike blizzard and D3 where they profit from cheaters who sell tons of items.
Anet wants to keep player base because that is who supplies their money, consistent play.
just give them some room. they are a small team working on huge things. and i have faith they will get to it as soon as they can, and the other 500 things people want including updates and new content items as well
Why are they focusing on PVE so much though? That’s where I feel their focus is right now but I just don’t understand – they are so inactive on the pvp forums and no word any significant PVP changes. What are they doing to balance server pops? Free transfers to high pop servers are still up.
They are running hard on PVE because that is the only thing that is going to bring them any $$ this holiday. This game in its current state under the current leadership has zero chance of retaining just about any of the competative pvpers over the holiday.
Just turn it the heck off and remove it from the entire game. You cant coddle everyone all of the time. At some point being lazy and not trying has to bite you in the tail. This one feature is making the game almost unplayable for any medium to small sized clans with pvp talent. We pointed this out all through the entire beta. Time and time again this feature has demonstrated how distructive it is and it alone has made zerging in this game rewarding. Its realy simple.
The scoring system not being complete by any standard is a far second to removing autotarget.
Just buy all blues every 5 levels and your stats will be 2/3 to max all of the time. Gear 5 levels or more below your level gives you a penalty in wvw.
Bottom line is the system does not work. Its totaly unreliable in every way. Fix it please. Fix something!
