Guild Wars 2

Character model limit and model detail impact fps in wvw a lot. For met its 25 fps difference when i lower it

It was bugged. Finished it with a guildie and then in was possible to kill the shadows

I hope they bring back a Desert Borderlands map as one extra map besides eotm. Or that they make a nice pve map of it. Obviously a lot work went into it xD

I love it, finally some people to play with again!

Right now its a little bit empty with Alphine’s being back but overal it doesnt feel like every round is for the biggest blob anymore

THIS! Put the name of who deployed the siege weapon on the siege weapon, no matter how long it lives their name should be on it.
Get a bunch of reports and bam, they cannot deploy siege (the entire account) for x amount of time… preferably in the 24h per infraction level. Anything less and frankly you aren’t actually going to cause any effect.

A new catch with the base game being free? Free accounts cannot deploy siege. Gotta buy the box. You solve another problem here.

Or this when trolls start random reporting. Just leave siege as it is and focus on new stuff. This is more badly needed. Most WvW players are enjoying again after the last patch

KashimKudal.2961:

I like the exhaustion system, but I think it can be more refined. Firstly a sharper penalty should come to those who throw 2 or more siege without expending ATLEAST 10 supply to build it(the premise is that if you plan to build siege you would’ve made a supply stop to do so). This debuff should be one that persists even if you log off then back on called “Siege Locked” across all characters on the account (you broke the rule in-game you should serve that time unto completion in-game). This debuff should last 5~10 minutes (or more at Anets discretion), which incurring this penalty in succession resulting in a longer Siege Locked

---

I know it can seem like abrasive stuff however this system would achieve the desired result with minimum GM interference or maintenance.

This idea for example. You put down a siege, you get killed before you can build and on top you get a penalty. Would result in frustrating situations

Please dont change anything on something thats already good.

There will always be trolls. If you change something and have a change to break it. Trolls will find something else.

Went from max 5 players on a prime time evening a month to seeing a que for the first time ever on normal WvW. You only could have done it two years ago. but hey I’m happy

They’d fix it dw. It could be as minor as one line of code, probs you have a mini patch tomorrow already.

Remove? I play 90% percent of playtime in there as commander. I love it! In two years i played it litterly thousands of hours mainly as commander. The badges and karma is useless i stacked loads of it and no idea where to spend it on. If your really lucky maybe 3 exotics a week. And really i play huge amounts of time.

Before hot i played in a guild group in normal wvw to. It has some appeal. But eotm is much better for me. On my server currently the wvw maps are completly empty and thus not at all playable. Also ‘real wvw players’ think an superior + normal flameram does more damage then three normal flamerams. This way of playing results in a much slower gameplay. Eotm has a great pace more action and regular massive fights.

There could be a lot more fights if things where balanced though. This week for example red about 80, blue about 20 and green an average 40 man. Blue was roflstomped of eotm most of last weekend making it almost unplayable for my side aswell (green). At this point its best to play avoidence. Because loosing a fight will make your zerg schrink about 10 man at the time. Due frustration about unbalance. With fair teams ill ocasionally fight and with slightly being outnumbered defensive ambushing.

Removing this mode will result in players lime me quitting the game. I lime guildzerg in borders aswell but atm finding more then 3 people on even a map like ebg doesnt happen more then once a week maybe month

Always the same easy answer. Moving to another tier is not possible when already locked. You should not have to spend extra money to be able to play content you already paid for. The WvW guild i was in all left. So with your solution i might server change forever!

The only thing WvW needed was balanced teams, some server merges for low pop servers and maybe the deserted borderlands map as a second overflow/eotm map.

I can’t play the normal borderlands. If im really really really REALLY lucky i find maybe 5 people. This made me quitte few weeks after release of HoT. And although the promise of bringing Alphines back made me return. The game is so frustrating that i already decided a moment ago i played my last round.

EotM where only balance was an issue is now even worse. For few days theres no blue team. The map is fully red. Green team has about 10-15 man and red team close to a 100 if you ask me. You promised to fix this 2 years ago and you only made it worse.

Don’t expect your customers to stay loyal to your games and future releases if you treat them like this.

No you can counter them with ballista’s. They are not OP! Actually they balance a bit for a smaller defensive zerg. Out in the open it makes hardly a difference against most massive blobs

Yes it will bring me back. Its the reason i left and the reason im checking in here everynow and then like now to see if WvW is gonna be fixed

@Sandman, TRUE

I’m only passing by on the forum to check if they fixed anything on the old maps. WvW death then I’m no longer there customer, Amen

Played last few weeks but the balance is much better. At least one WvW area i could still play J.

Have you seen what a charged lodestone sells for on the TP lately?

But most veteran WvW players don’t typically lack gold.

Everything that Anet does is to make money. Absolutely nothing wrong with this. It’s what every good business does. They aren’t running a charity.

WvW doesn’t make money for them, so it’s low priority. Always has been.

Not really this game mode makes them sell the game. If i knew this change happened beforehand i would not have bought the game. I’m playing mainly EotM i could have done this without HoT aswell.

I’m on Fissure of Woe i cant even play them, they are always empty

They are saying this for years, anyone still taking it serious?

I think you will be best of putting the old maps back and add this new desert border top right corner as a EotM map. Then remove the laser event, autoupgrade and notifications about capture from it because this is only an advantage for the largest blob.

With this i think you will have made huge amounts of players actually happy. For a lot of your customers a big part of why they like the game is not working. Seeing more then average people in EotM even guilds which used to be much more uncommon

I think most are missing the point of the OP. The mobs are overtuned for more casual players, most likely not for us or depending on character you use. On my warrior they where though on the ranger really easy

Had a lot intense fights last week. Yesterday my pug zerg managed to destroy a huge guild group.

Cannot really agree with the OP. This game has a really nice community compared to other games.

I started of in HoT with my main and its a warrior. It is really difficult just to walk in the HoT as a warrior. Now I’m exploring there with my ranger and its completly different. It’s actually very easy. To my opinion the warrior could seriously need some improvement in ranged damage or protection.

I know i could go for like soldiers for more protection. But both the ranger and warrior are glass cannon, so in theory they should be both just as vurnerable.

My revenant needs a few more levels and i got every class at 80. So i think i have a fair point of view on comparison of professions.

Theres no revenant box added to it. Is it forgotten or intentional?

Bioware with SWTOR released to many servers and eventually had to suck it up and merge servers to help the population, that game obviously has no WvW, however the game was improved because of this, while GW2 still has 24/27 worlds with a game mode that requires a consistant player base to make it relevant.

Server merging may cause considerable amount of damage in the short term for some people, even long term. However doing nothing is arguably much worse.

Key word in your final sentence isn’t “worse”, it’s “arguably”.

SW:ToR had to fuse (mostly) because PvE sucked for the servers. Megaservers take care of that. For those who prefer a 24/7 gamemode you have EotM or high tiers. t1/2 both have servers open to transfer to. Deleting the lower tier servers will destroy a very cultured and appreciated style of play that a lot of people prefer. Not to mention it destroys the culture/identity of each of these unique servers and effectively kills the game for server-loyalists (who do exist, despite the “fiites fites” propaganda you’re prone to hearing on these forums).

Anyone who tells you a server is the same as the other is BSing you, community-wise they’re generally night and day.

You really think i care who i fight against? I just wanna wvw and with deserted bl i cant!

I hope they restore alpine and add this new map as extra like eotm

Was always instant for me so cant tell

What fixed it for me was running gw2 as administrator once

Error Code: 42:0:9001:4419

Is anyone else experiencing login issues at the moment? Im getting some message my code is wrong when trying to login after i dc’d.

First time ever i see three equal teams. did they tweak it or is it sheer coinsedence?

Was a bit worried i need to do the grind on all characters but it seems its account wide which is actually making it not to bad to do! Thanks!

With all this auto upgrading they weant to force you to use the MF more. Everything in this expansion is set to get more money out of you.. You and many other have been robbed

Well said, this topic reserves some attention by the devs!

The trail is not so well visible if it lags a little bit. Making it difficult to spot and thus dodge ye.

It looks a bit on a healing spec. I checked them on all professions

Pistol Joe.3741:

Dont forget gw2 is not like other games .. we always keep getting new stuff !

From the gemstore you mean. NMothing is for free lol

The new border should just have been an extra map like eotm is

Is there actually something gonna happen or did this thread went to the background already?

Theres 5 man runing in FoW atm. I don’t believe this “everyone is playing pve”. Why is no one playing it?

Leaa.2943:

I don’t belive for a second that the reason the borders are empty is because people do pve. IF the maps was a success then people would que up to play because the new map would make them excited as it is a part of the expansion. This is not the case, it is not even the case on the top servers. Home borders are empty because what regular wvw-players liked about the game mode is gone. This wont change regardless how much time we wait. So either we get a fast reaction, or wvw will bleed players hugely.
It already started, a lot of people on my friends list who was regular wvw players and only played this game mode stopped log in. Messages in comunity forum saying sorry but wvw is not working for me anymore, i am leaving.

Don’t wait, EotM did not change whilst waiting, it fell to be something that was not even close to what was the plan from the start. Add back the old borders and remake the map or possibly make it a eb map, that way it wont be to big, and not to far to run. And make the keeps and the towers SMALLER.

You are right, EotM didnt changed and is still full. It’s easier getting HP to. But probs they wont fix it. They dont want to. Community came up with a lot of simple fixes over the last two years. Except promises nothing ever happened

At most there are two players on each map. I played eotm for a year. I didnt buy an expansion to be playing the old content. They can easily fix it. I do t think its fair i need to pay 10 euro extra just because i picked the wrong server when i started right?

Empty server, out of balance eotm, all simple fixes, none two years later solved. Instead of adding one map you replaced them. No idea why… but suspecting it has something to do with trying to earn more..

Our server is now completly dead, i regret buying the expansion

Please consider merging some lower tiers. It should not matter what server you start on to be able to play a part of the game. Right now i hardly can. You should really address this. Taking much to long.

I can’t play them our server is always empty. And they should have add it just ones and keep the old ones to. No idea whyu they removed the old ones. Expansion usually means adding things

I played wvw for a year. Got tons of badges, this means i can simply use them? Where?

Core game best mmo i ever player, by far

this expansion totally different then i expected. Where are the hearths, the new skins etc. After intro story i was really surpriced
