Guild Wars 2

I don’t get why people want the PvP system.
I love the system my legendary weapon have.
can choice eny stats @ eny time.
If they add that for all items & a way to change runes sigils then it would be a nice system for WvW.

My cousin started to play this game.
He stepped into WvW and called me a kitten.
He told me:
COUSIN: Is this what you like I’ve been running for 2hours and not seen a soul.
What on earth can you do on these maps.
ME: You can fight people and take objectives along the way. its a lot of fun when your with a few friends killing a larger group or sneaking in to take a keep.
COUSIN: He said Wich objectives can i take and who do i fight.
ME: The 2 enemy servers. and atm all objectives are from your team so you can’t take eny.
COUSIN: Is this normal??
ME: I suppose it is now, Normaly its Prime time now and you would see more action.

PS. This is translated from our convosation.

So this is the picture new players get from a 3 year gamemode.
Its dead its empty there is no reason for me to return to it.
Is that what people/anet want?

Repping guilds in a Raid has never been worth it.
Theres what 15-30 people. while it only takes 2 people to get influence for that guild.

If you have more then 2 people compleeting the same event they added 0 influence extra.
So why didn’t they do this earlier??
as a 30man raid guild. you could had earned 300influence per event. but all choose to get 20Inf.

And since those 20inf is gone aswell you expect people to use this tactic??
Can you see what a guild could had done if they earned 500 per raid night. they could had gotted 7500 and just made guild cata’s in the 14 Spare guilds to keep there raid cost low.

Repping a guild had social side to it. With Guild chats avaible even when not repping that guild. Then repping becomes pointless. There is only a few reason to rep and thats Bragging rights and Missions.

On the other hand if you just reformed a raid guild and are afraid of makeing fun off run with 20+tags and Only rep all after you wipe an enemy.
But if they defeat you and show up in there movie. they can’t say its your guild and there video is just Them rolling over pugs.

I get the OP view But this tactic isn’t new.

I was planning to Play without purchasing HoT.
Because I’m a WvW player and don’t see what HoT add for me.
So aftertrying out the New Borderlandmap and found a ghost town all day. I decided I won’t be playing. Doesn’t mean I wont try it out again later.

Ps. a side note if it turns out that Specialization Classes are stronger then The old 8. then you won’t even see me return.

Most games have a share loot system.
With the enhanced sqaud system they could add the share loot system into place.
You share your loot across your sqaud or party.

The Lazy Way.
1-20 In PvE because they made the leveling on those levels pretty fast.
Then Only login for Daily Reward.
You get 16 Tomes a Month so in 3month you have your lvl 68.
I say 3 months because day 27(gives 4 Tomes)&28 (gives 6tomes if you choose that option). And your also will have get laurels wich you could use to get those Crafting starter kits. to level yourself by crafting aswell.

Quickest way?
Ask the guy who got lvl 80 before the official release date. Just because of the 3 days headstart.(its possible to have a lvl 80 in 72hours).

It works if you time it.
If you hit the ground when he/she becomes visible then they die.
atleast it did for us.

Orochimaru.4730:

Do we even have to fight? Why not just all be friends, like this one time we all were!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiTMfIlHAEs

Wonderfull times wonderfull times.
Best 200man blob ever.

You have to wonder how wvw would be if you could have 200+ man on your server all in 1 map. No seperate maps just 1 big 1 and 1 starting area+keep and in between 1 Giant Battlefield. Thats how WvW Should be.

Just a Tip.
I’m playing at gunners and i used to roam and Raid.
But most of our latest FR/DE enemies are mostly Blobbing during the Times you write.
And GH blobs on EB between those hours and has Guild raids on all the borderlands 1~3 guilds for each enemy BL.

So i think its really smart of you to check out Aurora Glade first.
If after testing AG you still wanne try GH here is the forum link:
https://www.gunnars-hold.eu/

topic has been made 1000×.

Some suggestions where.
Remove from all maps.
Place them into EotM & remove from Citadel
Place them into Obsidium sanctum & remove from Citadel.

Wouldn’t it be better to Get rid of EotM.
And once there are queue’s on all of your Maps.
Eb+3 Bl’s. you’ll be able to Quest to T7-8-9 and help out the team that has the same color as yourself.

Remove the Transfer Blockade and add this.
and people will still be playing for there Home server if they can.

If they can’t they can Make new friends on T7-8-9.(inc 6 if need).
Its a smooter way to slowly dissolve the boundries tied to Servers.

Ps. there has to be some Blockades on there.
So T7-8-9 players still have Priority.
For example if a map is full and a T9 player queues. but 50% of the player on that map isn’t from that T9 server but is waiting for there queue to pop on there home server.
The last non T9 person enterd gets a Pop-up You have 15minutes to Search for a new map or get send back to LA.

tyrellian.3706:

Of course they will.

You just need to complete Yakslapper to get it…

That will only reward one item of the precursor collection. You will need to finish all of the WvW achievements to complete the precursor collection…

This would be amazing.
I’m sure i’ll get it before i turn 80 :P

Or maybe in 60 years will be a tiny bit to early.

MY MIND NEVER STOPS THINKING AND THATS HOW I WRITE.
SO READ THIS AND IF YOU DON"T UNDERSTAND JUST FORGET IT.
—————————————————————————
This topic is so funny.
Have you guys ever thought of the consequences if we didn’t had servers when gw2 started.
Because atm all 51 servers can have roughly 80 people per map active.
Thats 16320 players.
Without a Server system you would have either 3 factions and ~5440 Players each Side.

Only thing i never understanded is why GUILDS can hold 500 people.
And 1 server can only have 320people playing at the same time across 4 maps.
So 1 guild can in theory have 4 maps full and still 180 people in queue.

=======
So if Anet didn’t made servers.
They should had made Guilds be the faction.
and since Guilds can have 500 people.
500 people is a Nice size for a faction.

but 500 people is to small to fill 4 maps 24/7
Because MATH says 320people * 24hour = 7680 Manhours.
7680 Manhours/ 500 people =15,36 Hours per player.
So for a 500 man guild to have all maps full 24/7
You need every player to play WvW 15hours and 22Minutes.

=======

So i believe that if we didn’t had servers we would have had guilds.
Guilds would be more populated.
Maps would have to be Changed Maybe only 1 map per 3 Guilds fighting on it.
Player size have to be bigger per map.
There would be more Guilds then there are servers.
So match making would have to be differend.
mmmm ill stop here i can go on and on and on.

@ Puck.

240gold aint much and thats for a class that has 12 weapons.
If you exclude weapons its only 120gold

I’ve spend way more then 240Gold on my gear and that was before Ascended.
Switching runes switching armor pieces that was price.

Its only 240gold and Spending time in WvW.
The more time you spend the more Runes/sigils/Stats you unlock.
Eventually you have 24 Ascended stat combo’s if you turn that into 24 FULL Sets thats got to be worth 10.000Gold??

But the flexibility thats gone be worth A lot to some.
And since you can Choose what to Learn next You can have 1 Set of gear in no time. getting to switch between all 24sets and combo’s is gone be longer but thats something you could call end game progression.

You can still use your Pve Set :P or current wvw set.

Ps. Its a Rough idea.

I aint gone put the idea in detail in or i have to write a book.

Your Idea has triggered me to put the idea i have in my head on this forum so it might be to detailed or not enuf but here it goes.
Masteries for WvW only gear.
A nice goal for you to work on in wvw.

Npc in WvW sells WvW Only Gear for 200badges a piece and 10gold. (6 trinkets+6Armor+ x amount of weapons Depening on your class)
These items will have 0 Stats to choose from you have to Earn them.

The Mastery System will be devided into 6 lines. (3 for gear 3 for upgrades)

Theres 24 differend Stats for gear.
Theres 3 types of items we players talk about.
Armor, Weapons, Trinkets. So that makes up for 72 Unlocks/masteries.

People can choose one of 6 masteries lines: Armor, Weapons, Trinkets. Runes, Sigils, (Universial Upgrade components/Infusions).

If you Level mastery for Armor or Weapon or Trinket to level 1, You will be able to select 1 of the 24stat combo’s.

If: i get Armor to mastery level 1 and i choose Soldier.
I now can select my 6 WvW-only Armor pieces and choose Exotic Soldier stats on them.
I Now get Armor to Mastery level 2 and choose Bezerker.
I can now select on my 6 WvW-only Armor pieces Exotic Soldier or Exotic Zerker stats.
This allows me to mix Soldier+bezerker pieces.

If i reach Armor mastery 24. I will be able to select all 24stat combo’s.
But Armor Masteries go to 48. Thats because at level 25 i can choose my First Ascended Stat it will replace the orange name in the list to Pinkish/purple(i’m colorblind so don’t really know :P) .
So at mastery level 25 you will have 1 Ascnended Stat and 23 Exotic stats to choose from on your WvW-Only gear.

For Trinkets and Weapons it will work the same.

Runes, Sigils.
They work roughly the same you just have More to choose from and there is no exotic ascended difference.

(Universial Upgrade components/Infusions).
You can make it be so that you first have to get allllll the Universial Upgrade components before you can learn to choose Infusions. or have them be identical to runes and sigils and every level lets you choose one of the xx options.

This is just the Rough idea i been walking around with for a few weeks.
I hope it makes sense.

I ques we(Gunnar’s Hold, Riverside, Elona Reach) went from 1 Borderland (World Peace Mode). to all Maps (World Peace Mode).
Only 1 map still isn’t and thats OS.

O btw we haveing a slow walk contest. all welcome to Join. started @ 20:00 German time.
German Raid leader: streaming the walk. http://www.twitch.tv/betapunch

All people from Gunnar’s, Riverside, Elona are allies in this map.

We can enjoy each others company.
So we been doing Jumping puzzles.
Walks around the map.
Chatting a lot of chatting.
So far its funny great.

All Riverside,elona & gunnar’s players welcome to Join the chitchat. Anet Devs are also aloud to Join we can use the company.

As a 1.5year GH player i’ve not seen eny of us hacking.
We have had our share number of Trolls makeing it kitten our side to do upgrades and such.
But a hacker flipping stuff for GH thats a first for me atleast.
Not saying what your saying isn’t true because new players new guilds come and go.
And there always people playing dirty in games.

1. lake tower can be flipped by a golem because they leave no siege behind.
2. bay, if there where friendlies inside why did nobody notice the Lords hp bar went down.
3. No clue what to say about this.

I don’t hope your right, cause we don’t need hackers to do our jobs.
We rather take it by force.
And if there is a hacker you can be sure that GH will report them if we notice someone do it.

I thought Slick shoes was able to remove 5 stacks.
And Line of Warding 1?(unless the enemy walks back and forth across the line.)

Wasn’t April fools a Children thingy??
No offense to people who like it.

But Why did they Exclude PvP, and not WvW(there Large Scale PvP Format).
Player vsPLayer =Player vs Player.
The number of people who attent to it at the same time shouldn’t make a difference.

And Anet seems to be haveing way to much time on there hands to make this instead of fixing the BUGS, that are ingame for months and months and months on end.
So Quit FOOLING around and go fix your game.

Ps. Why don’t they Hold a POLL to see if people still wanne have April Fool Joke.
If more then 50% doesn’t then Remove it from the yearly rotation.

I get why people don’t wanne change it and why they do.
Now 1 guy can keep it contested for hours wich is unfair.
But without contesting a Zerg with waypoints can save everything without effort.

So theres options.
They could put a Limit on waypoints.
You can Waypoint Once every 3-5min.
Wich could make contesting a bit less usefull.

Or they can change the way it gets contested.
I like the idea only by Siege but it doesn’t sound compleet.
But i would like to add Also by hitting the lord.
Or by Hitting Inner Walls/gates.

And if it wouldn’t be to bad i wanne see what happends if:
Lord dead = Waypoint deactivated.
Would be interesting concept but i bet we never see it happen to many people would be against it.
But personaly if your enemy gets in your keep and manage to kill the lord. then you should had have time to stop them and it means you where slacking.

I don’t think Stability is the issue for the lagg.
I think it has something to do with the bugs the last patch created.
Bad code can make server unstable.

Atleast you still got 1 thing in commen your all dutch :P
2 dutch buddies also had some connect problem 1 got in after restarting client 2 times other just doesn’t.

Daily Keep Capture,(2-4Times a week)
Daily Fractals. (2-3times a week)
And Pvp Reward tracks.
Those give me around 10+ a week. depending on how much i do pvp.

Doing that since they changed the daily system.
And thats not even talking about the Writs of Exp. for all the normal World dailies.

grifflyman.8102:

Should be “No longer limits on AOE effects”

This is a fun idea.
But 10 ele’s with that buff on doing metoer shower thats gone be messing up 80man blobs.

But double the Aoe limit on all skills would be interesting.

Anet loves to give all us siege upgraders a Repetitive strain injury.(RSI)

I’ve only they would just add it to crafting.
So we can get xx amount of items and just press Craft.
instead of spending 5hours Clicking 4 items every time and get Repetitive strain injury.
Since its basicly crafting enyway.

This idea is funny but would be baddddd for EU.

There are 4 Differend servers in EU.
German,French.Spanisch,Others.

They all got differend playstyle differend way of thinking.
They also have differend language.
Not that i wouldn’t follow a German/French/Spanish commander.
But teamchat with (Bleiben Sie auf Tag) would be a bit wierd not even sure if its correct german but you get the point.

This is gone be wierd or frustrating.

With the new daily system and the mess amount of Tomes of Knowledge you get from Reward tracks in pvp i’m getting way to many.

So i probably use 60 to get a Instant revenant.
But whats gone happen when i use a tome of knowledge on a level 80 after the expansion is here.

Because i quote from the following link: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/reimagining-progression-the-mastery-system/

This means characters that have reached level 80 will no longer gain skill points through leveling. Skill points will be added as rewards across high-level content to offset this change.’

A Tome of Knowledge = a Free 1 level.
So will it just giveing you a 1 Skill Point same as it does now.
Or will it change to giveing you exp to a mastery track?
Or ….

Was just something on my mind.

The +10% influence from events for 24 hrs.
Should work since wvw has a lot of events.

But i never paid attention to my influence gained when i had it running.

The Pvp i know for sure it doesn’t work.

Its wvw its ment to beAttacking/defending and Killing each other.
Its not ment to be a KARMA TRAIN 24/7.

Its not ment as a WxP/Karma farm so why do people come here to cry about it.

If you don’t wanne die by other players don’t go into eny Pvp type gamemode & stay pve.

Is there a differend meta on the lower servers??

Gearwise & Guild composition?

Gone be a bit wierd to calculate what server they should be fighting that week.
Since a guild can have a HUGE impact or No impact depending on what that guild wants to do in wvw.

@Hmm.7902 your idea would be nice for Megaserver guilds. But it could make Matches really imbalanced.
Can you think of a 500man megaserver guild to rep the lowest server and play wvw for 4hours a day for 1 week. how wierd thats gone be if the match-up after that those people aren’t there enymore and they gained to much points that week. so they got into an other tier. that would destroy 2 weeks match-ups.

There is a Point we might have servers thats are now Full while there is only 200 people joining wvw.
I’m not sure how many people can be on 1 server to give it the name full.

But can someone tell me if i buy the game and only gone play pvp and pve.
Whats the point for me to choose a server??

And whats the point for people who quited the game 1 year ago to still be attached to Our server????
So now you got a PvE Population attached to your server that will never have enything to do with your server besides the rubish server reward bonus thats only at his best on friday before reset. and you got an Inactive part of your server population that if they do come back after 1 year transfer because there server has changed to something else.

To be fair:
I don’t have a solution for this. because i don’t think i am fit to make a solution.
I do have idea’s about this but no clue if i should place them.

I only have 1 question and want people to think hard about it before answering.
Do you think PvE-Only, PvP-Only, Inactives(6month+ not online) should be Linked to your server??

This tactic might work on some servers.
On others it just pulls the melee train your way.
If not prepared for it that can kill you.
It all depends on the commander and his reaction on it.
And his reaction can be to let him die and follow the 2nd in command.

We have had snipers(pewpew rangers) that only target the enemy commander.

Tbh these tactic works when the blob is a bunch of sheep and you need the Sheppard to lead the way. If the server your fighting is more like a wolf pack. then eny of them can step up and lead the pack.

So is it a mindless blob com dead = they will spread out and lose the fight.
Is it a organised blob com dead the fight continue’s.

It all depends on the blob/guild and its commander/commanders.

fix this for all but the stacked server that will spread people out.

I had to laugh when i saw SFR wasn’t being able to blob on all 4 maps.
But then the other post came and its not that great.

But can you image if this is there way to fix the population imbalance.
Block maps on stacked servers so there queues go crazy and people feel forced to move.

But please fix it fast i didn’t even stay in wvw when i noticed my server capped eb for 95% and we had a 500+tick on reset.

These topics make me depressed.

I don’t want my server to end up t1.
Because of all these cry baby’s who say they will quit because of something they know only 1% about.

Stay or go. make up your mind.

Anet has done a lot.
the majority of the community has asked for things and they replied.
Maybe not how the majority of the community had in mind.
But they did mostly what people asked them.

But asking for something comes with a price you might not like what you get.

And for god sake stop speaking for everyone. There are people who don’t have the same opinion as you and saying the Community wants this.

What you suggest makes Blobbing more important because 80vs80 1 side will kill those 80 and have there Bonus.

A Guy who escorts dollies and upgrades keeps and tower and scouts all day but makeing non to almost no kills at all gets nothing but does a lot more then Join 1 blob for 1 hour who rolls over an other blob for 1hour.

This aint a solution.

I can’t believe the negativity from people today.
We don’t know enything, We just know a few big lines.

ITS ALL IN THE DETAILS.

And details can go either way.
and WE made EotM a karma farm.
Its up to us if WE decided to make the new BL maps a karma farm or make it interesting and fun.

All servers all maps experience this as far as i heard.

My Buddy had the same Problem on The Mystery Cave.
We had it aswell when HE opened the instance.
We switched to me Opening the Instance and it loaded.
So maybe ask a friend if you can join him.

60-63% is the magic target where suddenly your download speed goes to 0-5kb/s(atleast for all my friends on ts).

I just saying I’ve seen to many boost nerfs on skills.
Anet must of had there reasons for it. They need to check if that reason still applies or isn’t working enymore. So they need to compair the skill and if they feel it is Inline with the Rest of Gw2 keep it as it is. If its not, change it.

Lowering the cap Applies to everything associated with that skill.
But they should do that every xx months to begin with. and they probably do.

Ps. there is a few things broken in this game i don’t think a skill with no dmg output or strong Buffs is one of those things.

X T D.6458:

why shouldnt this skill be subject to the same aoe limit as every other?

Because not all the Characters are the same and have the same purpose ingame.

xDudisx.5914:

My suggestion is make it a 5 target cap like other skills. This may reduce the blobing condi removal effectiveness maybe making condi a bit less useless..

About this. You just have gaurdians for this enyway.

@ All.
Does the AoE Limit border you or the fact that it can remove Conditions?

I just gone state the my opinion.
You can’t balance this game with the Unlimited options of traits,gear,runes. So a nerf could work could also make it become useless.

I like the idea and i’ve seen something simulair in other games.
You get rewarded for claiming something/protecting something.
(but in those games you get the reward at the end of a Fight/match-up. (2-4hour match-ups)

So Maybe per tick isn’t the best way.
North towers in Homeborder are not flipped a lot.
Garrison isn’t flipped that much either.
You Claim them and you get a lot of reward without much effort.
on Some server you can have that keep & those 2 towers for 7days.

So Maybe by succesfull event you get rewarded.
Upgrades. Defending events are the main events that run in Keep towers.
If they finish and you still own the tower you get a bit of Influence.
You can have differend Influence reward for differend type of Upgrade.
For camps it can also be Dolly succesfully arrived. in tower or in keep.

Maybe then guilds will buy more Guild Upgrades for wvw to help support there tower/keep in not loseing it.

Ps. Do with this what ever you like.

LetoII.3782:

What game besides DAoC had 8man?

Eny old school MMORPG.

The party sizes where 8-15. depending on the game mode.
But those games had Healers that would need to Target a player to heal him so the bigger the party size the better larger groups would function.

But last 4years they started to use the 5man groups in almost every mmorpg i’ve seen.

Looked fun, would be more fun if not that many trolls.

This is a interesting idea.

Personaly i find it funny you should had stayed loyal to your server till the end of the tourny. if not then no reward for abandoning them.

But since its not my game and they said you can go to other servers.
I feel like they owe an explaination about it. So everyone has the ability to make a rightful decisions based on the facts and doesn’t get screwed over.
