Guild Wars 2

I know this may be very scary and confusing for some people… but there was a game called Guild Wars… It came before Guild Wars 2…. really scary I know.

But Ya, in all seriousness that pet came from a foe in GW: Nightfall.

Stacks don’t matter.

Relisted it for you:

……….just telling you what we did on my map that ended up with a victory.

Not going to get into a nerd rage argument with anyone, just telling you what we did on my map that ended up with a victory. Screen shot is attached below for verification.
You can try it or not, i really don’t care, again not going to argue just saying what we did to make it work.

We waited for the 10 stacks to end, when you mouse over it, there’s a timer. When the stacks vanished. We just burned him down and killed him.

This was probably my 10th attempt. The previous 9 attempts were 1 time burns with stacks of his buff still active. 9 times doing the same thing, all ended in failure. We did 1 thing that was different, that being waiting for the stacks to expire and vanish, we killed him and we got it.

Master haxors, master glitchers, freaky coincidence… i don’t know you decide. Just saying it worked for us.

Map IP was: 64.25.38.75:0
Time was roughly 1:28 PM U.S. Central Time.

Confused exactly on what you want and the comments below aren’t helping.

If you want your own region, then no. I don’t think it would be healthy for the game to fraction off into a 3rd piece. I never liked the fact the game was split into two to begin with…. Should have kept the GW1 system of being able to bounce between regions freely with the added bonus of your server determining your region for WvW purposes only…

If you want your own server, I don’t think it would be cost effective… if anything at best… maybe reallocate one of the least performing servers in NA or EU to geographically meet Oceanic and toss that server in NA or EU region for WvW. Maybe the least performing of NA & EU so Oceanic can pick and chose which one they want?

Then again, I’d rather see NA get 1 Spanish and 1 Portuguese specific server.

My list is done with a couple of presumptions:
1) Thief = Assassin
2) GW1 NPC’s are allowed to be used if a connection to a GW2 class can be established.

Heavy:
Warrior: Mad King Thorn (cheating)
Honorable Mention: Koss, he put up with Kormir…. enough said.

Guardian: Logan
Honorable Mention: Mhenlo on the basis in GWEN he was Monk/Warrior which in essence would satisfy the Guadian requirements. Made it from the start of the series to the end, with a “fiery” companion.

Revenant: Rytlock

Medium:
Ranger: Aidan Had the ability to partake in all of the events in GW1
Honorable Mention: Eir. Not really impressed with her tbh….

Engineer: Taimi, even with the cards she was dealt with in life, she is able to rival if not surpass Scarlet on some levels.
Honorable Mention: Scarlet

Thief: Vizu, Helped with the defeat of Shiro.
Honorable Mention: Caithe

Light:
Elementalist: Gaheron Baelfire
Honorable Mention: Cynn

Mesmer: Queen Jenna
Honorable Mention: Xera, slightly behind the queen, maybe by 0.0005% only if she wasn’t killable….

Necromancer: I’m cheating on this one…. Livia
Honorable Mentions: Eve, Master of Whispers

I just want consistency… if it’s a trench coat then fine… make it a trench coat in the non-combat form as well….

The out of combat look is so kitten horrible…. just … no… it’s too radical of a change in comparison to light and heavy.

1) Redesign the out of combat model to be similar to light and heavy on quality standards. Keep the trench coat (against everyone’s best wishes) and dumb down the effects for out of combat. Keep the combat animations the same.

2) Give an option for all legendary armors the ability to keep the combat model while in and out of combat..

The out of combat model for Medium reminds me of pajamas with a weird babies bonnet.

A chak would be a cool pet……
So would pocket raptors though >:]

It’s been suggested before, even by an Anet Developer.
According to the AMA a long time ago, he was laughed at for bringing it up.

Sadly, it seems that ANET will never take that as a serious idea…
Shame really, it’s a feature I really enjoyed in other MMO’s.

I would prefer some level of clipping

I would also love if the skull on the back of Medium was flattened or removed…. It’s essentially another back piece ….

I don’t see the problem with it being added to Legendary Weapons…
for all we know, it’s probably being worked on as a QOL patch…

Just like with the great debate on switching stats… when it was added to legendary weapons…

kitten No on Exotic
kitten No on Ascended…

Quit trying to cheapen Legendary gear out of existence

Heavy: Eh… nothing too special.. then again i’m not a cookie cutter player who only plays warrior to be “cool” Grade: C

Medium: Can’t speak much on it… Asura was a horrible choice to model art on… everything is so tiny and condensed…. From what I can see it looks pretty cool for Thieves and Rangers. Grade: C (maybe higher or lower if they toss it on a human or Sylvari at least….)

Light: If you’re an Ele or into the the sorcerer theme…i guess it’s your wettest dream come true? Grade: A if you’re into that, Grade: D if you’re not into that

My cardiologist said I shouldn’t be in this thread with how salty it is….
However, screw him…

I think personally some of the skins are fine. For myself, I’m a fan of the Medium armor (why put it on an asura though? bad modeling choice for details). My only complaint is that you’re shoe horned into certain themes. Heavy is sort of universal, Revenant Is the only one getting the short straw in regards to the helmet. Medium works well with Thieves and Rangers, engineers are sort of covered but not really theme wise. Light is the one I’m scratching my head the hardest on…. It only seems appealing to an Elementalist or some type of Sorcerer themed Mesmer.

Sort of hard to make 1 set for each weight tier work out with out creating numerous skins…. sooo… C+ for effort?

Also, chill the kitten out on the “QQ I can’t raid, I don’t want to raid, i have no friends, no one likes me etc. etc. etc.”

It’s not in the best of situations… however, I would argue there is still a minor use for it..

As stated above, It’s Ok (not great) for WvW and PvE for tagging..There are better options still out there of course with Ranger/ Druid.

A gimmicky type of situation for it requires “We Heal As Once”

Get your might stacks up, cast we heal as one. Your pet now has the extra might stacks.

Again, there are better alternatives… just naming one simple scenario that it can work with… still not optimal though.

You can’t get upset when people criticize your post…
If no one ever criticizes anything you say, you should be concerned since: 1) no one cares about your opinion or (2) you’re the 2nd coming of christ… in which case… run before someone grabs the nails…

I say merge NA & EU regions for pvp …
Get rid of the petty elitism bs that EU players get them selves off with every night.
In terms of ping, there’s really not that much of a difference between playing on an NA server or EU server… It would increase the visual presence of the lobby. It would give that psychological trick that there is always someone playing by forcing more people into view then separating them by regions. This is established with the basic example, that a person is more willing to stop at a store if there are cars parked up front (even if they are employee cars) then a store that is empty up front…

Surprised it lasted this long to be honest..
Especially after all the EU players spamming the same stuff every day on: Twitch, Forums, in game, and every where else they can….

“Oh you don’t play on a European server? pfft not worth our time”
“Oh you play that class? pfft not worth our time”
“If you don’t play these 3 classes you don’t belong in pvp”

End up scaring off a lot of new players with this petty elitism which is hilarious by other mmo standards, then you wonder why no one wants to play.

Of course, it’s not all on them… ANET did enjoy putting people in charge of it who clearly did not have their best interest or the communities at heart…. How often did we see garbage said or done that any other gaming company would have revoked their rights?

Hopefully with this financial break, more things will be done. Those who are actually players of the game and like it will stay… those who were only in it for money (lolz) should have left long ago, if not, they will now which is fine.

Me:
WvW – Silver Raider 768

PvP – Level 221 (Ranked is a joke, please don’t waste my time asking what it is) roughly a 0.61% win rate across ranked/ unranked/ team arena / solo arena.

Achievement Points: 30,809

Raid: Clears all wings every week as a Healing Druid. I have no interest in playing another class. Please don’t even try to convince me to play another class for raiding. I’m not looking for a raid only guild, just stating I have raid experience as a healer. I have sets for: Condi, DPS, Healing and Tanking if you must know though.

Age: Adult

Preferred VOIP: Discord /Team Speak

Community Achievement: Forum Specialist for almost a year

Reason for looking: My current community is down to 20 people and I’m the only person online these days.

Geographical Location: Western Florida (Central Time… yes.. Florida has more than 1 time zone… i’ll let you absorb that fact -_- )

I’d imagine the main reason they didn’t have them in the first place is keeping with the nature theme of the class. I think a rifle would be pushing it but the more suiting of the two options. We do have a speargun, so a rifle would be the next step.

I think pistols would be a little off for Ranger…. unless it’s going to be some type of Rancher Wild Wild West type thing? McCree 2.0?

EnderzShadow.2506:

I know this isnt the most exciting topic, i just dont understand why more rangers dont use it.

There are signs when a ranger is bad

-using a lightning wyvern in a competitive match= bad.
-using sbow = usually bad.
-not using a low cd heal to help everyone get to their locations faster = bad.

Something tells me you’re the type of person who uses smoke scales f2 on point and wonders why the point was lost o.O … or you kitten with LB + Bristleback and think you’re God …..

One Misconception that needs to be pointed out…

Spike Healing =/= Constant Healing

Druid sucks at Constant Healing, both Ventari & Ele out shine druids for constant healing. Where Druids shine on the healing spectrum is the high spikes on healing.

Only talking about healing, the buffs and all of that has already been covered.

Legend of Rogue.5394:

Thanks…

Just what my ascended armor needed for classy fashion…

Just what the community needs, someone telling them what is allowed to be worn and what is not allowed to be worn in game.

J envy.5270:

the picture of Primordus in gw1 does not automatically make him look similar to what he will look like in gw2. Take the charr for example, they were taller and larger to humans(compared to gw2) and not all of them are hunchbacks in gw1, like there are now in gw2.

….
So you’re saying that the Charr in GW1 and GW2 look nothing alike and if you were to hold a screenshot of the two from both games side by side… a reasonable person would never tell they were the same thing?

Maybe that was a horrible example on your part?

What i was getting at, is that Primordus is an Elder Dragon we have CLEARLY seen in Guild Wars 1. His general shape is confirmed. Please note how i said general shape.

Now take that general shape and compare it to what the OP said.

Do you see the issue?

Unlike the other Elder Dragons, Primordus is sort of a clean cut case.

What we know:
-He has a traditional dragon design
-Magic flows out of him, since the asura liked to play with him

Now you’re right, Anet could <—- COULD say F the player base, Guild Wars 1 never existed. Primordus is now a shark who’s electric blue and sings My Little Pony.

But come on…

That looks nothing like him….
https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Primordus

Granted, that’s when he was dormant but ya….

I doubt it will be a very different concept… at that time mark…. it looks like a modified Veteran Stonehead:
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/5/51/Veteran_Stonehead.jpg

Next, someone is going to mistake the karka for him lol….

Because no matter how badly you trash talk us, no matter how much you despise us, no matter how much you don’t want us in Dungeons, Fractals, or PvP …. we still care enough about you to scrape you off the floor.

I love how they fail to realize that:
- Glicko was not meant for team competitions… it was meant for Chess….
- The removal of the Solo & Team Queue options, really screwed up the match making.

The last one, was the biggest offender…. guaranteed 1+1+1+1+1 vs 1+1+1+1+1 way better than the current bs alternative of 1+1+1+2 vs 4+1 or 1+1+1+2 vs 5.

I’m sure everyone would be fine with longer Queue times if it meant we had decent matches and not a complete joke….

For me personally, I just pvp out of boredom on gw2… if i want to play competitively… i just log on OverWatch… at least they have:
1) A system in place that doesn’t penalize you if someone leaves before the game starts
2) You can’t face someone way out of your league
3) Preventive measure to prevent hero stacking (1 per team)
4) Rounded team comp of parties. 1+3+2 vs 1+3+2

Purecura.1795:

Hello everyone and Arena Net,

Gw2 is in major need of profession lore. The game jus feels so empty without it. Especially how the Revenant was implemented into the game.

Whatever happened to the Mesmer Collective? Why do we have elite specs now? Who was the first of each elite specilization. Come on Anet this is sad. We need LORE for
Or each profession, and not material from Guild Wars 1.

Agree with everything until you mentioned the last line….

Druids were around in Guild Wars 1 as an identity… so you’re saying that ANET should ignore that and come up with some fluff?

What if the lore ended up being along the lines of:
While exploring the surrounding wreckage of the airships, a Sylvari Ranger came across a Druid spirit who taught him how to harness the celestial powers to heal his injured allies?

It’s a plausible situation…
A) Druid Spirit were in the magumma jungle
B) No one has really been in the jungle in a while, minus some rogue figures
C) as a desperate scout looking for hostile creatures and things to aid his companions… It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that a Druid spirit would appear before him or her and teach them their ways.

But…. it can’t happen because you don’t want anything tied back to GW1..

soo… i guess the only plausible lore ((with out using GW1)) is that Rytlock came back from somewhere that isn’t the mists((cause you know gw1)) and taught everyone how to expand upon their classes.

https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Druid
((in case you’re a wow kid who wants to pretend GW1 never existed))

Bread Bad.4915:

So I’ve been wanting to get rid of the lv80 booster to free up a shared inventory slot for a while. I plan to level both of them to max eventually and do 100% world completion. So, I guess my question would be: which class is more of a hassle to level up in the open world; doing personal stories and map completion for levels.

Note: if it factors in, I have a maxed level guardian, mesmer, and elementalist so far.

Thanks in advance!

since you have 2 lights already, Necro would make more sense… just in case you fall in love with it.. it would be easier to move gear around ((not needing to make a medium set)) + a lot of the weapons can be moved between the three.

Depends on the context of the question being asked.

4,2,4 is meta

But are you asking because you’re curious?
Or, are you asking because you’re looking at making a group/ reforming your group?

Cerby.1069:

attended one of those ‘training’ raid things that are apparently a thing. since i wanted to just try out a raid and see what the big deal was.

Upon joining they asked me which class i was playing…i said warrior. And then they were all on about how they probably have too many warriors (3-4 ttl), and that they needed tempests. I asked them why it mattered and they harped on about how they wanted to get to show everyone the final part of the raid. Then they suddenly said "ty "name"" and kicked me.

So…….just kinda flabberghasted by that. Supposed to be training…for fun and learning and kicks. Regardless of how good a player I am though i’m not allowed to join cause I’m a warrior…? isn’t the goal of raids to do as much damage as possible within a timelimit? warriors don’t do damage? tehy don’t provide daamge for the team? they don’t tank? they don’t have condi? like….screw ur meta its training and i want to play. As long as I’m a good player and running a fully geared char I should be allowed to play in a training session….no? i feel i got kicked cause other players are inadequate at fighting…and they need supports and the proper meta so everyone can get away with pressing ‘1’ to win.

I mean is that really good design to create a game where to play in the different modes you have to have multiple chars and classes? thought the point of hot was to expand on each class so they each fill enough roles that they can be relevant in any part of the game.

tldr: Mentors are lame if that’s how this has got to go down.

1) Training run, chances are you didn’t read the rest of the message where it was listing classes. If they didn’t list what classes they needed then i can sort of see your frustration.

2) I’m guessing you have never raided before on any game…. welcome to raiding sweetheart. Play what is best for the group or go home. This isn’t fractals where you can afk and spam 1 the whole time and eventually get a kill.

3) If you’re so hell bent that you’re a Godly warrior… then create your own group? It’s not that hard to do so… I’ll even teach you how… are you ready??

A) Log In to Guild Wars 2
B) Go to the Aerodome or VB …
I’ll wait for your loading screen….
…
…
Now that’s done..
C) Open LFG.. now here’s the hard part… this takes a lot of skill
D) Go to raiding….
E) Go to the top option
F) Create a New LFG
G) Wait for 9 people to join
H) Profit

That should give you 500 AP with how hard that was to do. Right?

tdlr; mentors aren’t lame, you’re just upset that you don’t know how raiding works on any game and you’re upset that they didn’t want to ruin their group comp by taking an extra warrior.

Sorry for coming off as a kitten, but i have no sympathy for people who post non sense like this.

p.s. as a ranger player since release, you don’t know what discrimination is until you’ve been part of the struggle in all game modes for the first year of the games existence.

Is it really this time of the week again already…
you know the time where someone asks the same question with almost the same wording….

So how would harpoon guns work?

As rifles?

if so… i think thieves and rangers get screwed

The greatest MISTAKE Anet has ever made, next to making series 1 Legendaries sell-able… was the removal of Solo Q…. If they were to add that option back, it would fix a lot of headaches and improve the quality of matches…

Here is a very very very rough sketch of what I’m talking about

I think it would be nice…
The whole 5v5 thing is rather boring after a while… especially when you’re forced into Conquest on the same 2-3 maps competitively…

- Build Templates
Similar to GW1’s

-Sigil select on legendary weapons
If you bought a Sigil you can freely change to said Sigil at any time. This would be nice for those who run numerous specs for numerous game modes.

-Queue outside of pvp lobby
Even if it’s just Lions Arch so we can do something while we wait

-Guild Capes
Been suggested since launch

-Toggle between GW2 beta launcher and current
I’m on the forums every day, I already know the news… Just give me the amazing sign In launcher from the beta…. The one with the logo that changed.

-character back pieces shown on character select screen

-Active Ranger pet on character select screen next to said ranger

Wolfey.3407:

While we are at it… Should we give PvE / WvW players the ability to level up their PvP rank from 0-80 by grinding out exp? you know so they feel motivated to probably try out pvp.

Granted, levels don’t mean anything. But going off of OP’s example, I’d imagine newbies won’t be intimidated to PvP if everyone was a level 80 Dragon.

Does this 80 lvl on spvp matter?Oo

2nd paragraph champ
Read it

While people complain about Dragonhunter traps being Op… I’ll just sit here drinking my Ice Tea… remembering the time that Rangers could throw traps.

While we are at it… Should we give PvE / WvW players the ability to level up their PvP rank from 0-80 by grinding out exp? you know so they feel motivated to probably try out pvp.

Granted, levels don’t mean anything. But going off of OP’s example, I’d imagine newbies won’t be intimidated to PvP if everyone was a level 80 Dragon.

I sent in a help desk ticket on this issue…
just the usual “send us everything on your side” routine…
Hopefully it will provide some insight i guess?

Edit:
Got a resolution that the issue has been passed along to the Dev team

Yes because only playing:
Battle of Kyhlo & Legacy of the foefire
is really fun and interesting and is so Esports pro #1 viagra sponsored maps.

Hammer, is an ok map now. I wouldn’t mind it being in the rotation.

Spirit, I really don’t like… mostly because of the orb mechanic. There really isn’t any way to heal your self with it…. not to mention, the autodecap upon turning the orb in is rather over the top.

Capricorn, I love. The following does need to be fixed though:
-Better Secondary base exits
-Remove the gate going from middle to bell
-Add a couple of door ways in the hall ways on each side
The points from bell, are fine really… it’s mostly people who don’t understand the mechanic that make it a larger deal then it needs to be….

Stronghold, I don’t think this should be considered in the rotation…
It’s a different game mode….

Problems with that game mode:
-1 Map…. gets boring quickly, and hinders that game mode to the flaws of that map
- Trebs on the current map are broken, they can pretty much hit anything and cost almost nothing to get rebuilt. They deal way too much damage to heroes to minions.
- The minions around the lord are a complete joke… 1 person should not be able to solo all the side minions with 1 quick rotation in under a minute….

tdlr:
Yes on Hammer
No on Stronghold
No on spirit
Yes on Capricorn if adjustments are made (it’s beta chillax)

Changer the Elder.2948:

Problem is, story needs to stand on its own two feet and present itself to anyone as a whole in its linear path alone. It mustn’t rely on you scouring other media, other books or other games. Those can provide tidbits of additional information for the “initiated”, but this approach is basically shivving anyone new in the eye and alienating new players (which goes pretty much against everything ANet was trying to do so far).

….

Also, yes, I know Bennet recaps the raid for you, I know another NPC gives you details on the White Mantle, but this was supposed to be a major cliffhanger in a short storyline, that requires investment. Tossing half a wikipedia on someone doesn’t make them invested, knowing isn’t the same as caring.

I know all the lore I need for the plot, yet I still struggle to care. Because for me as a player character, I struggle to find a reason to be invested. Especially since I’m obviously clairvoyant now.

Your argument on “a story needs to stand on its own” is ok, i don’t agree with it, but it’s a fair statement to make.

Your idea that Guild Wars 1 should be severed from Guild Wars 2 because people refuse to play the game or read up on it is just heresy….

If someone doesn’t feel like getting invested in the story, they shouldn’t cry and complain about not understanding the story… it’s that simple, You know what you were getting into when you created the account, you know you were going to be missing out on content if you didn’t play the first and just jumped right into the 2nd.

My simple point is this:
If you’re going to complain about GW1 content being included in GW2 then cry about not understanding it, that’s on you 100% not anet.

Side note, when i say you, Changer the Elder.2948; i don’t mean you exactly. I mean you as in the people who are doing what I’m describing.

Excluding GW1 100% from the topic for a moment…
Those who played Vanilla GW2 knew:
- about the white mantle “myth”
- knew that caudecus was up to something against the queen (cm & personal story)
- Plenty of dialogue, papers, diaries in vanilla that talked about the “unseen ones” that the white mantle worshiped. Don’t recall if they were ever called Mursaat in vanilla gw2.

HoT wise, you have the raids, even if you didn’t touch them you knew about the white mantle weapons as people were running around with them. Hell, even if you asked “what weapon was that?” it has White Mantle in the name….

Post HoT and the Lead Up to LW S3 you have events that involve bandits and thieves and executioners. As weeks passed, the executioners and a couple of the bosses have white mantle weapons in their hands.

sooo is the excuse people are too lazy to do pve content provided to them?
People are too lazy to do their personal story?
People are too lazy to play the game for 15 minutes a week?

Trying to understand the mindset of:
“OMG WHAT IS A MURSAAT WHY SHOULD I CARE???” that a couple of people are going on about.

To put it in even more simplistic terms,
Complaining about GW1 content in GW2 is like complaining about Horde vs Alliance in WoW because you didn’t play Warcraft 1,2, or 3.

At what point does ANET cut the umbilical cord and expect the players to walk on their own two feet in GW2?

Sort of scratching my head on this one…
I’m not the best ranger, i know that for a fact… I was playing a with a viper set, shortbow and staff. Electric Wyvern and Fern Hound. Did it by myself with no help….

You just need to prioritize the mobs first then the boss

Just like any game, if you go for the boss first, you’re going to find yourself on the floor.

Razor.9872:

mrauls.6519:

Reduce their healing and increase their damage

That would completely go against what “Druid” is supposed to be.

Future elite specs will be oriented otherwise.

Sadly a majority of the people in the PvP forums lack the mentality to understand this… they are like 5 year olds… they want the toy in the happy meal now. Not later, now. Doesn’t matter how many times you explain it to them, they will just throw them selves on the floor and cry until they are given what they want.

I personally think it would be better if the following was done on anets side:
-Disable whispers while in pvp
Can’t receive , can’t send
-Disable Map & Say Chat
There is no reason to talk to the other team at all….

Hide player names, just have Red/Blue Class
E.g. Red Guardian
In the event of multiple classes, add a 2 3 4 or 5 at the end.

Disable send mail while in pvp
There is no reason to send mail while in pvp

with all of that done, if someone still messages you after a game then just report them for being a weird stalkerish person.

It makes me sad and furious when people state the story sucks or was lack luster because they did not play Guild Wars 1. If you’re that cheap and lazy… Get your WoW butts to the GW1 wiki and read the basic lore…

Guild Wars 2
2
1…2…

Not 2…1..

If you’re going to play 2 you need to understand there’s a 1. So here’s your options:
A. Play gw1
B. Read the gw1 wiki
C. Watch YouTube videos from GW1
D. Suck it up and realize you’re lazy and 10 years late

Be critical of the the story that’s cool… But cut the bs hating the story for being: lazy, late, and ignorant.

Not to turn you off from crafting it, but there may be faster ways to acquire your goal.

You can do daily:
-Teq
-Tripple Trouble
-Fractals low scale (higher scale would assume you have ascended so that defeats the purpose)

If you have a complete exotic set, you can also raid for wing 1.

Even if you get an ascended stat you can not use, you can re-roll the stats in the mystic forge to the stats you want.

As a devout ranger player, I have 3 ascended armor sets and only one of them I crafted. The other two, I’ve gotten as drops or spent magnetite shards from raiding on.

Again, not to turn you off from your goal or objective, but do remember there are mostly free options available for you to try at.

Pets do interfere with it, it’s best to leave your pet on passive for the fight. (pay extra attention to Electric Wyvern…. even on passive it has a tendency to YOLO and go towards the core anyways)

Heibi.4251:

Came across a fully upgraded Hills keep in Yak’s Bend BL today. And much to our surprise the ANeT tag was on it. And it is still claimed by ANeT. Last week we heard a rumor that the SOS server wanted ANeT to claim our Garrison to make a statement. How is this even remotely allowed?

1. ANeT is the administrator for this game.
2. Being an ANeT dev should be considered a privilege and it should not be used to favor any server.
3. ANeT claiming any objective in WvW shows favoritism.
4. Showing any favoritism of any kind to specific servers is extremely unprofessional.

Don’t give me the argument that they get to the play the game as well. Of course they can and should. But playing should be the end of it. Taking part in a servers claiming, which gives that server an advantage in the objective should not be allowed. Again, favoritism.

ANeT, please explain to those servers that don’t get your favor as to why this practice is being allowed.

Oh boo hoo

How dare Anet play their own game,
How dare they play the game without any special spawning powers or admin powers..
How dare they experience wvw to figure out what needs fixed and what doesn’t.
How dare they bother to socialize with a segment of the community that often complains about being neglected.

p.s. Anet is on multiple servers….
The more you know

Just noticed he’s from HoD… it makes sense now…
