Guild Wars 2

This post really needs formatted

I would maybe think about buying the expansion if there was a free transfer weekend or something, the thought of buying the expansion to find myself on a dead wvw server and not only having to grind for the gear I didn’t finish but also for transfer fee… ugg. PvP where did you go?

GvG players play more WvW than you mate.

Good fight about to start here.

See you guys on the borderlands
and
Keep cappin them Keeps!

As a guild we usually don’t bother with groups less than 10. Unless of course they are trying to hastle us.

Skill lag is getting worse

Junkpile.7439:

I just see one problem (well it’s not problem for me but it might be problem for viz and friends). Sound to me that this new map makes old maps kind of pointless. Why would i go play boring point game in old maps if i can have fun in new map?

This is actually a worry I share, if this is aimed towards GvG (Tho it probably isn’t) then what is to stop the map filling up with randoms just looking to troll?

The game needs to add a section for serious gamers to play, one where ONLY organised groups can enter. WvW is just a pug fill mess and it gets boring very fast, especially after a whole year and what’s worse is more and more good guilds are going inactive.

SPvP style paid arenas would be perfect for GvG, wouldn’t have to be overly complicated but it would have to use our PvE/WvW characters so it stays interesting, because those extra stats really make the game interesting in large scale fights.
They could even tie it in with the match-ups so you can only fight guilds your server is matched against with a few hundred points for a win.

As I said before I will reserve judgment until I am actually standing in this new area and feel it is being taken seriously by everyone else there.

We just want to fight.

Merlin Dyfed Avalon.5046:

GvG Confirmed! ^^

Your sig made me laugh.
:)

A step is fine and a good start but right now we need a leap, in fact we need a few leaps to get WvW style PvP back on track. There is fun to be had but the way the game works at the minute makes it hard to find most nights.

But I’ll tip my hat for at least trying to appeal to GvG style gamers. Tho I’ll reserve total judgement until you provide the means for us to make that environment and work with it.

JGar.4103:

EXAMPLE: Make the BLOODLUST, instead of gaining stats, make it to increase your score.

This is the best idea in here. You, Arenanet, as usual have made something fantastic but have no idea what to do with it. That middle boarderlands part is awesome but there is no point and I mean NO POINT in being there, it needs to be put to use, we need a reason to be there, to fight there. As it stands it’s just wasted space, the water was more useful.
Fix it.

“Hey, you wana be a forum mod?”
“Yea, sure.”
“Ok cool you got the job!”
“Nice, what game?”
“Guild Wars 2.”
“Cool, I’ve heard of that.”

1-Wars for Guilds.
2-Wars for Guilds.
3-WARS FOR GUILDS MAN!!

Yea those RAGE fights were a blast to watch, that first fight was intense as hell. You guys have a lot of talent there, keep it up yo!

Pretty good stream to watch, some awesome fights

Spira.4578:

Indeed you don’t park a car in the middle of a race track.
- and you don’t play a fun wrestling match with your opponents during a war

How would you know? There are plenty of instances in WW1 and WW2 where sworn enemies stopping fighting for a day and played football with each other. I dislike you very much.

Spira, you are a kitten idiot. Reread what you are writing please and then make a choice and stop writing it.

GvGs are held in that spot because it is the most desolate spot in the game, there is no reason for anyone not involved in the fights to be there, you are either there there to fight, there to watch or there to troll.

Or maybe there to farm boars, but that’s another matter entirely.

This is just insanity, next they will be telling me I can’t build a ram in the middle of nowhere because it’s not how they want ME to play in THEIR sandbox.

In all honesty the only thing you can really do is stop playing the game for a few weeks, kitten Carter AKA Arrow Carter AKA Carter from Carters Ascent (Soon to be decent? I hope) did outline in a very neat little post that our forum words mean nothing to them and the only way to get noticed and help make changes is to simply just not show up, let the borderlands die for a week and another week after that, 2 crap weeks should be enough time to let all the randoms get bored.

ANET just have this sickening air of arrogance about them these last lot of months, “this is our decision and the right one, so shut up we don’t need your input” All the while forgetting we are the dudes who bring the bucks in. That guy who trolled your GvG would probably be working for some crappy little free antivirus company if none of us had bought his game.

Yeah, don’t be a hippo-crate

It’s just another kick in the nuts mate.

It was only a matter of time before WvW guilds tried to seek out a more level playing field than the zergfest the maps have become.
To kill a rising scene like this is just cutting the thing that is keeping me playing GW2 in half.

And for a dev to come out and say “we know exactly what this change will mean” I feel is just downright disrespectful. We are the people who keep your game alive and your community strong, telling us this is not how you want your game to be played and changing it to deal with a very specific “problem” is just crazy

Long Live Guild Wars!!!

Keep in mind that GvGs are one of the only things holding a lot of people to this game, bring OP buff back and you will destroy that scene.

Give us a map with a hill with a tree on top and 50 player cap. We will love you forever.

This would be kittening amazing! I would buy it for a few hundred gems, but 10 is maybe too low, 20 is the sweet spot.

<3 Yaks

VoTF are in part a community guild, we have members who wouldn’t stand a chance at getting into RG or other top PvP guilds, and most of them would freely admit it.
For me this is what makes VoTF so special, we work with that we’ve got ^.^
This is why I love you VoTF

GL Sacrx mate, fighting RG was the most intense and epic thing about this game. Even outside GvG being on edge prowling the BL searching for you.
The game has a little less shine without the Red Guard creeping across the server divide looking for blood. Shame to see ya go but I hope there are others out there ready to step up to the plate?

BTW you gona get into horse racing? Maybe an Auctioneer? You should get a blog up so we can track your RL career. Would be so disappointed if you ended up as a window cleaner or burger van flipper or PA announcer in Tescos.

lol ANet, nobody said we wanted random match-ups. You see what happens when you don’t listen?
All you had to do was make the 3rd placed server in every tier go down and the 1st up. Simple.
But no, some bright spark though WE NEED TO RANDOMISE IT!!
Haha fail.

It’s not difficult at all, look at GW1, sooo many modes. These guys will have a lot to answer for when games like Wildstar get released, now maybe the combat at it’s core won’t be as polished or well refined as GW2 but omg the modes! From 2v2 to 40v40! That’s practically everything this game has then tripled. I love wvw in this game but recently unless 20 of my guys are on I don’t go in because falling with a random zerg is no fun, and I really don’t like the spvp format either, its too hard fought, where is the fun?
Give me 2v2,3v3,5v5 DM and 10v10 to 40v40 objective game and I will play all day long.
The point is, if there is another game, similar but inferior but with more content to keep me busy… Well I know where I would end up.

I got girth baby!
Beaches love girth

Heh it’s a shame they don’t play WvW, they should totally join a guild… See what all the fuss is about

I wouldn’t call 20 guys a zerg, and by “us” do you mean zoom hackers?

Moved this from another thread, felt like it shoulda been posted here.

Look the problem is, siege should not be anti-personnel. It should buff an attacking/defending force like it did before but not to the point of being OP, but 4 unreachable arrowcarts behind a wall should not be able to make a kill zone that can stop upto 50 people. Players and only player skills should be able to do this. And 2 arrowcarts should not be able to burn 2 superior rams before they take down a gate…

You can clearly see that this range buff has not been thought out, some of the place you can hit with a cart from behind a wall are just unfair, that’s even how I feel even as I am manically laughing at the stupidity of it. It felt so balanced before, with keeps walls, distance to choke points and you would be in danger while using a cart in an offensive position. It feels to me as if some new guy has walked in and wanted to make his mark.

Check this out, not I am not sure if it was hacks or if I was just missing something and this stuff is intended but regardless it is total and utter nonsense.

Some very well informed people here, I wonder what socks I will be wearing tomorrow?
Care to shed some light on it Dalure?

And hello T3
The rumours were true, some nice opposition here. Time to shake the cobwebs off, eh.

OMFG VoTF WENT TO RING OF FIRE?!

Just don’t get mixed up ANet, careful you don’t add another P to the OP because as far as I’m aware that’s Other Peoples kittenes your messing with.

So uh… wtf ANet? Who is responsible for all these daft ideas? Who needs to be fired so we can put this silly BS behind us? Please focus on what your guilds want, not what some idiot who just got the job thinks we want. Open your eyes and see what is about to happen.This is not the time to be messing around with weird ideas. At least give us a write up stating what YOU think WvW should be and where you are taking it, so people like me know for sure if the game we loved is actually going to die for us?

Meme for your shame

Jackie.1829:

Counterplay? This is just delusional. Even if it were possible, I do not want to sit at my pc for 6 hours entertaining those following me as we all sit there and watch the 1 guy we have on siege charging shots so that we may or may not take down their siege, then repeat it in the hopes that we do it faster than the enemy rebuilding etc etc bla bla bla bla bla

PvP. Have you ever heard of it? Do you know what it is? There are like no wvw guilds that are interested in sitting here playing counter siege wars regardless of what you OR anet believes wvw is. (P.S sorry, your 5 man havoc squad is and was insignificant, regardless of what you may believe).

Im sorry, im not going to play some trash where we sit and fire trebuchets at each other and pretend like there is something tactical in that kitten. You are all deluded honestly. Well, I hope when wvw dies that the 20 players on the map really enjoy firing treb shots at each other.

Wow and that’s coming from the biggest ArenaNet fanboy I know.

LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE ANET!! OUR WEE JACKIE IS DISSAPOINT!!

FIX IT NAO!!

I hope you realise that adding full ascended gear isn’t so simple as what your puny mind believes it to be. The accessories have already made all the dungeons easy mode along with all other PvE content, except maybe fractals but thats only because of the 2-shot agony mechanic.
A full set of ascended gear and weapons will mean ALL content has to be scaled up a little and maybe even hardmodes in dungeons to be added, so don’t be too much in a rush for a full set lest the game be easy mode for a large amount of time until they add more content.

KITTEN ALL THIS KITTEN JUST FIX ARROWCARTS FIRST!!

Personally I always felt like ANet listened to us players and more importantly were among us actually playing the game. But to do that with AC’s is just… Well it proves they haven’t been active in WvW for months.
They buffed the thing that was already OP in large numbers, the cheapest and fastest thing to build and easiest and safest thing to place behind walls.

Come on ANet don’t get your ego flared with all this BS, just roll back the AC changes.

Kebab.4013:

VoTF had a strategy meeting tonight when the patch hit…

Cradorell.3941:

See, we didn’t have any idea of VoTF transferring lol. Oh and they came to us.

They transferred last night, and i oly just found out :/[/quote]

Nah, VoTF just moved tonight

MURIKA’!!

Enjoy!

I am in 2 minds about this, I hate picking up bags and it really does get me in trouble with my guild leader because I have loot bag OCD and can not leave them behind lol I just can’t. If I DC with bags on the floor it feel like chewing on ANETs face a little!

But there is no greater feeling than wiping a massive force then looking around the battlefield and seeing 50 sparkling bags!!
Or even defending Garri with an arrowcart and haveing 50 bags at your feet!!

But OMFG how many people have missed out on precursors because they didn’t get a chance to check loot bags/boxes??

Run over to loot or auto loot. Maybe an option in menu to only loot certain rarity?
Or to exclude SPIKES!!!

The reset time is horrible for EU for many reasons. First it’s 1 am, but that’s sorta ok because it’s Saturday night and you can still go out and come home early drunk and have a laugh with your guild. But the worst part is the early morning squads that eventually win the match up, look at T1 EU. You have a kitten load of SFR guilds who actually GET UP EARLY to out cap the VZ guys who GET UP EARLY and leave all us hung over Deso guys out to dry, fact is we win prime time, maybe because we are just that pro (Even while being obviously double teamed atm by most of the top guilds from both) or they are too tired to play after being up from 5 am lol.
I’m sure you could either do away with the silly EU/US divide or make EU reset earlier IF you really wanted too :p

Paragon.6280:

Good grief viz…dat blobbing :O

lol that’s nothing, you shoulda seen deso bl 20 mins ago…

Make up your mind SFR, one min you wana knock VZ outta T1 now you wanna knock Deso out lol so fickle…

I actually wouldn’t mind trying GW2 with player collision, especially in WvW. The skill and coordination needed would be through the roof, it would be awesome. Definitely sort the men from the boys lol maybe loose half the player base Also roots and imob would be even more overpowered (imob is the bane of WvW atm, just slows everything down and gives a major disadvantage to solo/small group players. When a 40 man zerg is imob heavy and you are not ready for it… Game over.)

Raniri.6178:

but if u cant see that 20 vs 40 guildies is a onesided fight i just cant take u serious.

U say VoTF is alone on map ????

look minimap at screenshot – after this unbalanced fight VoTF use the “laughemotes” all the time

and u are talking about respect ???

lol I count almost 40 of you attacking our garrison, and that looks to be the point where you broke and run, there’s no telling how many were near the gate. kitten we beat 50 with 40 all the time, even 60 with 40 so stop your kittening and man up yo!
Anyway have a good WvW Easter folks. I’m gonna get drunk!!

Oh and we only /laugh when something silly happens, so if you have seen excessive /laugh’s well…
