Guild Wars 2

Guys: Do not restart the game or you’ll be updated. If you want to keep playing for now: Do not restart the game!

I am not the one getting the problems, apart from that, I am playing on ElonaReach [EU]. Some people say that they got a small update when they logged in (those that logged in after the first 2 hours) and that that might be responsible for the problems.

Update: Restarting the game, then updating, gives me the same mistake. Going to bed, so I hope I helped you with that :p

“wvw is unavaiable while matches are being updated” complaints are piling up a lot right now on our server. Would be great if you could look into this sooner than later. Most of these people seem to have logged in after the first 2 hours of the new system.

Maybe Tyler you should try some changes before doing the next step. Since primetime PPT will be counting something around twice as much as it did before conpared to nightcapping and PPT is much closer together then it is in off hours, we will see matchups that are closer together then before. The additional changes in PPK will increase that focus on primetime, as most of the kills are certainly done in that time frame.
Also instead of dividing into 2 hour blocks the less invasive approach would be to do 24 hour blocks starting from restart on and giving each day a point multiplier something like this: (1;1;1;1,2;1,3:1,4;2).
This would make up for the same idea of having later days beeing more important, not give people the feeling of not playing for the next two hours, because the timeframe is lost and in addition make keeps that have been held for days even more inportant to be held.
If this stil seems to be not enough you could easily adjust multipliers for the day or the nightcapping or even make it dynamic depending on the point gap. It would give you a great amount of screws to be turned without basically replacing the entire modle of previous concepts and without making changes so invasive that people complaining here will have a reason to do so.
Note: This does not change server imbalance, but full primetime maps are full on much more servers then the nights. Even low tier servers get a cue on EBG and even though they might loose that because they are less, a certain amount of imbalance makes this gamemode interesting. Also, make transfers to low tier servers for free and as someone stated before really do give those that play outnunbered on overall map average a higher amount of reward track progress.

Again thank you for your work Tyler and Crew. Even of you dont take into consideration any of our points, you stil will upgrade WvW to a better game!

First of all, thank you for the recent changes and what seems to be coming in the bear future. It feels like you are making up for the last 3 years, and even more than that!

My opinion on the PPK matter is that, even though I enjoy fighting myself alot more then capping/defending, a multiplier of 5 would be too much. You said yourself that you could imagine something about a 3-5×. Keep it at the lower end. 5x the points means something around a 150000 points in some matchups and could potentially make the players focus on PPK too much as it would make up for 50% of the actual points. That would also lead to the idea of not engaging in fights, because lower numbers normally will loose fights and thus give away more points than they can get through capping/defending an object. => Making alot of the good changes to nothing

Thank you for your work guys!

ElonaReach [DE] : EBG Cue from ~7-11pm Border Cue from ~8-10pm on 1-2 Borders (This is only in The week, Friday excluded). The Guilds are the ones filling the Borders. But Mid-Event and Roaming groups attract more and more players on to the new maps. Id say its worse then pre-patch right now, but its gotten better and better again. Ppl have understood that there is alot to do/fight on the borders.
All those haters, especially in NA should feel responsible for the impression many people got without even beeing on the map once.

The only people leaving are those that grinded the old-borders to death and never cared about varying fights, tactics and sieging in the first place. EU has understood what the new borders are good for and uses them more and more by the week. Those maps are, except the event-lag, awesome and are uncomparable to the old borders. Most of your problens NA are homemade and we don’t want to suffer under your inability to play something new, learn something new and especially recognise that all the devs did was destroy your precious Karma-Train on the borders and spread server-coverage to silver league.
Keep up with thr changes Arena you are doing the right thing. Cut back on some of the PvE content and power of Lords, Nerf some Builds fix the remaining minor laggs and we will have a great map that most gw2 players will like after a short period (some might take a few weeks more since they switched to eotm to farm ranks).

Ok guys, I took the time to make a Video since this problem has been addressed in the german forums, too. I know its in german, but it should give you some great ways to place your siege in a way that you have an adventage to enemies outside your wall.
This should also rebalance the fact that, having time to build siege gives you an advantage to 50ppl just spamming arrowcarts in front of your keeps.

If enough of you want to actually hear what i have to say to some of the ways i use the siege, i will put in some subtitles, but for now i’m on a tight schedule, so it might take a while..

Anyways, enjoy and let the expansion of our keeps get more important again!
