Guild Wars 2

Hesacon.8735:

If you’re willing to put in some fractal time, you can now get rings with up to 3 wvw infusions, 3*2-1 = 5, or +25 additional stats you didn’t have before.

Or a badges or honor / proof of heroics to fractal relic exchange could be added and avoid doing fractals altogether, since you could then buy the items you need to infuse/attune rings instead.

I’m not willing to put in any fractal time at all.

/point@Anet
/facepalm

And they are called Lemmings, not lemings.
Smile:)

Koenow.1807:

BTW: can some1 explain to me why yesterday evening, before the new build, Blacktide guilds got kicked out of FOW borderlands? we didn;t got kicked out of UWborderland, EB or our own. We got kicked 3 times, and with every time when we allmost got Garrison.

That is probably the Automatic Defense System kicking in. If all things fail and you don’t know who is knocking on your garri, kick all Blacktide guilds.

Or Anet could have been busy with the build. Strange behaviour is not uncommon before a new build imo.

atm is blob the adversary or hide somehwere karma training some empty bl, and play tower wars…
There is no point or no value in holding besides ppt, or chest farming, since tower can be fliped even before RI ends..

what?

Maybe when you lure the lord out of the circle? Don’t know, just guessing as I’ve never seen it happen.

Michael Henninger.7451:

lol. If this would get me fired…. oh boy.

Don’t worry. You can always play WvW with us no matter what happens ^.^

Yay, something new is happening in WvW! We asked for years and years and finaly they delivered :P

Woodenpotatoes has a nice video about Healingpower:

Ah ok, thought he played ele before his warrior. Good to see more d/d ele’s playing in wvw nowadays.

A Charr playing d/d ele is so distracting :P It is so huge!

Jathres back to his roots? I know he played d/d ele before his warrior.

I would switch arcane resurrection for elemental attunement, but for the rest good enough.

I understand that the matchups are isolated right now because of performance issues…

Oh well, hope that will be fixed soon.

Yeah, I do know its a 2 years old post.

Just find it funny that they feel the same way about “the same old matchups”. We have the same matchup for 10 weeks now. Just saying.

“Hello, fellow Wuvers. Tired of those same old matchups? Hoping to test your mettle against some different opponents? We here at ArenaNet feel the same way.

Up until now, servers have been paired up literally 3 at a time by their precise rating. This doesn’t create a lot of variety in matchups, and it actually locks servers into distinct tiers from which they can never escape! “Muwaahahahahahaha!” is what the Guild Wars 2 World vs. World matchup system might say if it was an evil overlord instead of a bunch of code. Thankfully it is not, and thus we have the power to change it."

Quoted from: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/big-changes-coming-to-wvw-matchups/

I think they do understand that it is preferred that matchups should change at least after some weeks. But I don’t think they will respond anytime soon, or maybe they do and we can have a refreshing matchup this friday.

Gaile Gray.6029:

We’ve recently noted an increasing level of abuse of Obsidian Sanctum. To curtail undeserved rewards, the developers have temporarily disabled the looting of rewards from this area while they work on a more permanent fix.

Thanks for your understanding.

Good to know you have noticed and take action

My female char shouts “I need help” with a male voice and all I can do is agree… Not really sure why this bug has appeared since the latest patch but I hope they fix it soon as it is annoying.

Windsteel.9814:

coming back from 2 minute toilet-break and you find your tower taken by enemy. 4 hours of scouting and upgrading gone down to toilet. I love this game.

It is obvious they had a scout at your toilet… “Hey guys! Go in, he’s taking a break.”

As a d/d ele, instead of moving around the ranger its best to move trough them at close range to give him/her some trouble aiming at you. Think you need the melee assist turned off in your options menu for that to work.

Lawful.5314:

Turbulence, that must be it, right?

The opponent sneezed? Hmmm…

Holding the magnet the wrong way can cause it to bounce off, maybe that is it, right?

I Think I get the obstructed message more then I successfully land it. Been this way for a very long time and still haven’t figured out why it misses. Could very well be the air ^^

At least im not for sale.

I usually don’t get any loot when this happens so I’m guessing they got to HotM.

Trick.9370:

Remember that you can get an extra blast in your firefield by using earth 5 and cancel it right away (by moving left and right). Your earth 5 skill will only have a cooldown of a few seconds.

You get an “Aura Might” pop-up, but the blast itself doesn’t happen if you don’t finish the cast.

Oh, great! It is confusing to get an “Aura Might” pop-up at the start as with some blasts with staff ele you get the pop-up when the skill finishes.

Thanks.

I suddenly remember why we don’t have a WvW matchup subforum anymore.

Or maaaybe they build alot of siege to get the achievement faster? wink * wink* ANet.

j/k ofcourse.

According to this advertisement for gw2 I should believe they communicate with the fan base of WvW to make it better and better:

Maybe this time?

Jayden Ennok.3687:

I find it more annoying that some people actually stay at spawn and entertain spawn campers.

Exactly.

But I’ve read they have problems leaving the spawn so I think they have no option

Toast.6459:

Trick.9370:

Spawn camping at its best? Then they must cover the two other exits as well, that is spawn camping at his best.

This is at most teasing at spawn imo.

Stop trying to justify bm

You also completely ignore the fact that if you go out the other exit to do anything, they’ll just follow you. We’re not morons, we tried.

Oh, then I’m very very sorry. Never had this problem myself and I’ve seen some spawn camping at his best.

“Love is when your puppy licks you on the face, even after you left him alone all day.”

I would love Anet to be more active for the WvW community but I’m no puppy. I just refrain from posting and only read the topics.

Probably posted in here because I do care about WvW, but what can I do about it…

Only a wvw player plays wvw because of other/fellow wvw players and not because its refreshing.

Oh my, never seen that many responses from a dev in a wvw topic! Must be christmas or something

Perfectly happy with what I’ve read, have fun hunting cheaters!

Probably switching server to let others know not to bother with the dev(?).

Not sure if this is a real dev but if so I he must be fed up with WvW also ;P

Finally someone noticed that the ele’s mobility is far too OP.

In my opinion the elementalist should be carefully CC’d in position by the other players… with a cooldown of 90 seconds ofcourse or else the ele is just as fast as he/she is right now.

Stop the ele’s!

Jessica Boettiger.2563:

It has been the case for a while now that players who very recently respawned are not worth any WXP. To bring other systems in-line with this, players who are not worth any WXP are now also not worth any loot or XP. We are aware that this also affects sigil stacks, and are evaluating whether we want to treat the stacks the same way: only when a player is worth WXP/XP and loot, can stacks be gained from killing them.

I don’t get the point.

Players who recently respawned are not worth any WXP… And on top of that players who are not worth any WXP are now also not worth any loot (or XP).

So my effort to kill such a player is also not worth it? If that is true then we need visuals that indicates the player is not worth to kill for either WXP or loot.

Would be fun if this also applies on recently spawned mobs in PVE! Helps to stop the botting for sure :P

muerte.3842:

he didnt alt and f4, i found out he was going heart of mists…

Aha! That explains why they dont drop loot… Had me wondering for a while ^^

Pretty happy with the update. You can find me using a golem I think at least 80% of my playtime so every buff is very welcome! Also during raids we dont use the commander tag so I’m very curious how the other colours will look like! I’m also very curious how the new traps will work out because that is the one thing we all have been waiting for

They should give a discount on buying siege when you got the commander tag or something. Commanders already spending lots of gold and now + 40 euro’s for a new color?

I dont know…. WvW is beginning to look like an attraction park where half the rides are broken but you can buy a hamburger for 10 times the normal price. But that is just my opinion.

“The eye perceives six colors in the rainbow. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.”

So we get six new colors?

Yay! Lots of good video’s around and I really hope this will boost WvW a bit and get some attention it deserves.

Call to Arms!

I am going to jump in here answer these as honestly as I am able.

1. We can’t talk about that right now. Once the in-development features reach a state where we, as a company, are comfortable talking about them, we will.
2. Some player requests are under development. What those are and when they will be completed, I can’t say at this time for reasons mentioned above.
3. Devon is very busy with his job duties and only has limited time to devote to reading the forums. If he spent the time demanded of him responding to threads on the forums, his work would suffer. My job duties have me reading and reporting on the forums regularly to ensure that Devon and the rest of the team are aware of active concerns within the WvW community. I do this for other parts of the forum as well. As has been mentioned a multitude of times previously, our developers read the forums as much as they are able, but time prevents them from responding to everything they read.

First Rule of WvW Dev Club is: You do not talk about WvW
Second Rule of WvW Dev Club is: You DO NOT talk about WvW

lol

Yup, only thing you can do is wait for the next patch and see what has changed (if any). Sad but true.

Thank you Mark Katzbach for answering the questions.

I will wait for the next update to see what has changed for WvW.

The ANet Glassdoor employee reviews are an interesting read. You may need to log in to see them all.

There have been a few new employee reviews in the past months and most of them talk about a disconnect between what the higher ups in the company want and what players want. In the end, it’s their game, but reading through the reviews is a bit discouraging as a player.

Thanks for this information.

Chuck Zitto.2367:

We need more things to use them on or to atleast be able to sell them. Myself and tons and tons of other people have gotten to the point we just destroy them. They take up inventory space.

Without giving any specifics, I’d highly recommend you change that strategy. There are things coming soon that will give you lots to spend it on.

What to do… I could use the space in my bank. Listnen to Devon and keep them because soon I will have lots of options to spend it on? Hope we dont have to wait an other 8 months to get some clarification.

Hule.8794:

Delta Blues.8507:

Btw how did that go? n

He tried but he was not able to answer single question so he stopped communicating at all.
Then there was this Commanders CDI 6 months ago where devs asked if community wants few quick changes like tag colors or longer waiting period and big changes. Community voted for fast changes.
You would say 6 months is enought time to make one icon colorfull. I cant even imagine what that longer waiting period is.
Then we get another WvW coordinator, or what was his function. Well he posted few times how everything is going fine and everybody is happy. Then he silenced. That was 4 months ago.
And then we had some posts from other. Sadly just few days before she left the company. Basicaly she said Farewell.

And well thats it. They come positive, but dont have single answer, so they left in few days and after few posts.

I keep thinking about that last wvw update vid on twitch. If you know how to read body language then you will know enough about the future of wvw. Dont get me wrong, I want to see it positive but I dont think anything good will happen soon. Perfect way to handle this is to lower your expectations and try to enjoy your time playing.

Angry? No. Maybe a bit dissapointed.

Hmm , why not Arbstone vs Blacktide vs Fow ? Its only 1 Point

Well Arbor and ROS are fighting neck and neck for second place, whoever will come will face Blacktide along with FoW.

See you this evening .

Hope to see you too Nubu ^^

Never give up!

Oooh, this one is easy!

“We sieged this camp, we sieged this camp like aarborstoooooonee!!”

Sorry, joking ofcourse, couldnt resist

PS: I will miss this subforum

This is the 3th week of the same matchup FoW/Vabbi/WSR I believe. Dont know if that has impact on the number of posts but could possibly be I guess. I miss some gnomes also
