Guild Wars 2

Yep, I and many others will completely quit the game if they run with this stupid factions or EOTM colours rubbish.

Have already stopped playing, gone to planetside 2 with others from Desolation EU, will see what happens when Anet eventually get the finger out, if ever. Otherwise BlackDesert is out for EU/NA in a few months and PlanetSide 2 will tide people over until then.

mrcrabcore.2781:

yeah its become pretty clear to me that deso is not the server i wanted it to be. And ye i did actually come back from NA recently an i enjoyed how they did wvw wayy more but im not abandoning my guild

I guess not then. TC was always more of a back capping full on PVD server with tons of really really bad players too. Apart from ZoG and whatever guild he was running, the server was/is terrible and the worst kind of PPT PVD hero server, a scourge on NA and only hanging in there now due to it’s PVD heroes still face rubbing doors.

Enjoy Gunnar’s regardless, say hi to Flanagan, nicest guy on the server

Engelsstaub.4356:

… Even if Anet decided to shut it down GW2 would do perfectly fine as a whole.

Many people, Anet themselves also, underestimate how many people play GW2 primarily for WvW purposes.
The communities on every single server that build up around them, the countless guild websites, community websites, TS/Mumble/Vent servers that are run for WvW etc etc.,

PVE is an aside to WvW that many have been forced, almost dragged kicking and screaming into. Take away the WvW and this game dies whether they admit it or not.

There’s only so much kitten esport pvp people can take and the pve in this game, let’s face it, being honest, is monotonous and casual, after a week or so even the loot raining down from the PVE maps get’s tiresome.

There’s nothing more enjoyable than fighting against real players, in open maps, with the excellent combat system in this game.

Small roaming, small groups, big blobs, organised or not, whatever, nothing in any other current MMO comes close to it other than maybe PlanetSide 2 if it wasn’t pay2win, but that’s an MMOFPS anyway.

How the powers that be in Anet have failed to grasp the enormity of potential they could have from a game mode (if time and effort were put into it proper by them) in their MMO is beyond me, really, can’t understand it at all.

Aurora Glade, all PPT PVD heroes are transferring to AG.

Majority who left Desolation after we tanked to get rid of them went to AG, same for SFR PPT heroes recently after SFR WvW community decided to tank and get rid of them too, they mostly all moved to AG.

So, there’s your honest answer.

Some nice people on AG too, I’m not saying it’s a bad server, it’s just THE server all the PPT PVD heroes are stacking on at the moment in EU.

Please don;t come to Desolation if you’re a PPT PVD hero from SFR, we don’t want you.

Go NA server, Yaks bend still open, NA is PVD PPT hero servers.

Don’t think you were being rude, think they were all fair points from an experienced, well known and respected WvW commander in EU.

Some people seem to equate criticism of any sort as hating on Anet or the game itself, it’s not, it’s just passionate feedback from players who love (or used too anyway) WvW.

Like him or not, if you’re a WvW player on EU you’d know who Rajel was and it’s people like him whose feedback Anet should be listening too.

Lose players like that, or players from his guilds and guilds like that and wvw really will be dead.

Junkpile.7439:

Some random dude thinks that he can dictate how server plays. Deso have so much f2p players that they are real community now. If they wanna PPT they will PPT.

Says the guy whose not even aware his own server (SFR) are intentionally tanking to get rid of PPT PVD players like him.

No dictating either, I’m just a player who participates in the community, of which democratically voted in vast numbers in multiple meetings not to PPT PVD and give a care about Anets stupid PVD ranking system.

How is SFR these days ? EOTM server.

Simply put…

The new maps are too big, there are too many doors (NO REAL WVW PLAYER WANTS TO FIGHT DOORS !!!), it’s hard to get around the map of this size and with huge cliffs without at least having gliding, I mean come on ! Why make a map of this size and height, introduce gliding to the game and then not allow it on these maps ? What ?

Anet, start playing your own game and see for yourselves. That’s the biggest problem right there too, you don’t play your own game.

Running around in a blob on an NA server on an uplevel thief or engineer doing stupid PVD doesn’t count.

EU primetime is during YOUR workday, get in the game and play it, see for yourselves the mess you’ve created.

mrcrabcore.2781:

love you reply thank you! I used to be apart of MM so i kno how cool them guys are. The main reason i want to leave deso is i want something to work for in wvw. Knowing we will always win is boring to me. I want a challenge

…

Man thats what i want. I remember the days i used to go to sleep after capping the map and our points ticking high then the excitement and motivation i had when i awoke an was we was being out capped again! Man i was right on there gathering up player to defend our server! Thats what i miss and want again. I just dont get that feeling with deso

I don’t get it, you want to leave Deso because you know (think!) you’ll always win and there’s no challenge in it, yet you also want to continue night capping and PVD ?
What ?

The vast vast vast majority of the WvW community on Deso agreed in multiple weekly meetings (did you ever attend ? They’re open to all, not just guild leaders/commanders/officers) to not care whatsoever about PPT and we do NOT care about stupid PVD or night capping.
Even the usual night cappers on Deso will stop night capping if there’s no enemies coming to defend anything, there’s just no point.

Hell, even this last reset on Saturday a vast bulk, actually the whole of the open raid on EB decided to go EOTM instead to try get fights (bags really, let’s be honest here, we got hundreds of them!) because we were getting nothing in EB and nobody wanted to do stupid PVD – so we all went and wiped the SFR karma trains in EOTM over and over, Thanks FSB for all the bags !

We don’t care about ratings, we don’t care about being number 1, we don’t care about PVD and we don’t care about night capping. We just want fights and bags, lots of bags. Not doors, thank you.

If you want PPT, night capping and PVD, Desolation is NOT the server for you – may I suggest any American server instead, they still actually believe PPT and face rubbing doors means something.

The WvW community on Deso also agreed to intentionally tank for weeks just to force a drop in rankings and get rid of PPT PVD heroes from the server, which worked for the most part and many have left.
Maybe you weren’t around for that part.

It just sounds like you want the PPT and PVD game, you won’t get that on Deso ever again. Actually you probably won’t get that on any EU server these days at all, it’s an NA server for you lad, Yaks Bend still open !

To show you how many of your team got one pushed by baddies who don’t even have a key mapped for AOE autoloot.

Story part 14, Rox’s Trail, continually bugged. I managed to actually get to part 4 of the trail and again, it bugged out. If for any reason you get in combat while approaching the stupid item on the ground needed for the quest to progress, it bugs out and stops progressing.

You then have to go through a whole load of stupidity, quit, start chap 13, quit, start 14, relog, zone out, zone in, relog, see if it’s working again, blah blah…

Anet can you please not say that something is fixed when it clearly is not.

There are LOTS of people on the same map having the same problems with the Story part 14 and it’s NOT acceptable that it’s taking you this long to fix the problems that are stopping many players from progressing.

Get the finger out and sort the bugs.

Same problem here, not fixed. Anet can you please not say that something is fixed when it clearly is not. There are LOTS of people on the same map having the same problems with the Story part 14 and it’s NOT acceptable that it’s taking you this long to fix the problems that are stopping many players from progressing.

This Saturday 11am reset for EU is so bloody stupid.

A LOT of sports are played in Europe, or watched, and Saturday morning is the big time for this. Friday evening EU reset was fine as it was, people got drunk (or not, whatever) and it was a “thing” for many WvW players for so so long.

We all know you rarely if ever listen to WvW players and this reset change from Friday was certainly NOT wanted by a vast vast majority, nor was it ever even asked for – but it’s like you really just couldn’t give a kitten any more, I mean really just don’t care one iota about WvW players whatsoever.

If you had have told us this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have bought HoT expansion in the first place, so nice sneaky move there from Anet too.

So maddening how much contempt Anet continually show WvW players, really is.

Michael Henninger.7451:

Again; we don’t like cheaters.

Not from TC myself but have played there in the past and seen the siege and map/commander trolls in action myself first-hand, same as on BG , JQ and SFR (EU) for that matter, along with a fairly consistent cheater/hacking commander based on TC also (since gone/banned).

It turned me off the game completely and I’ve only recently started playing again.

So just wanted to say thanks for what seems like you folks in Anet actively dealing with this stuff.

It’s a similar line (though not as aggressive) as what the PlanetSide2 Devs did (and still do) to combat hackers/cheaters – being there themselves to deal with it.
What they’ve accomplished by doing that, and it was no easy task, is to almost completely wipe out hackers/cheaters in the game and destroyed multiple commercial hacking groups who created advanced hacks/cheats for their game, with the help of their players also who hated the cheating.

Only small suggestion I’d make is to try also to pay a little more attention to EU servers (even though I’m back on a US server) as I know it’s not as easy for you folks to do so given the time zone differences.

Anyway, keep it up, as a player, I’m impressed that you’re doing this and it’s very reassuring to hear of you being so active in combating the cheating/hacking so thank you.

Hey you, Anet, this is what I want, don’t care about all the other stuff, it’s all American problem anyway, nobody really cares in EU about coverage + our servers healthier for it.

I guess it fits under category against stagnation or whatever.

A WvW map, with just the 3 spawns and something like StoneMost Castle in the middle.
No Towers.
No Camps.
Gates like walls currently, cannot be damaged by player abilities.
No siege allowed other than what may be dropped from the supply drop as mentioned below.

System wide (across all servers on the map) announcement every 1 hour (or whatever, maybe more/less) and pinged on everyone’s map, maybe icon showing on map, of a weapon/supply drop that includes stuff like Scorpions from EOTM and maybe some other cool stuff, dunno, put your minds to it.
This is to stop one server having complete control over the central SM like castle and promote an interesting 3 way fight over the weapon/siege drop.

No moar gaem ded, gaem fun again.

Thank you.

Roaming on T1 NA ? Ahahahahahahaha……..

Doubt it’s anything to do with Anet raising server caps at all.

The new World of Warcraft patch 6.0.2 (getting ready for WoD expansion next month) was released 2 days ago on US servers and yesterday on EU.

With PVE in this game amounting to nothing more than walking around looking at tree’s, world completion and jumping puzzles and “end game” pve being nothing more than making your character look good – it’d be a fair bet that pve players have just left GW2 in their droves to take a look at what wow offers in the new patch.

New PvP battleground and open world pvp area’s in WoW are quite nice too.

WoW will never compare to wvw in GW2, nor the excellent combat system here, but
given the lack of attention Anet have paid WvW for a long long time + the concentration on ridiculous fluff content they claim is pve… Yeah, gonna be a lot of people trying out WoW again.

Anet really need to step up and make a proper honest and decent effort if they’re going to keep players in the game, WvW or otherwise.

You can just click the ok button to get rid of the message (a few times I know, it’s annoying) but SweetFX still works.

It’s actually a problem related to the latest Nvidia drivers.
Rolling back to previous drivers doesn’t help if you’ve already installed the latest.
Maybe a complete driver clean might help and then install the previous Nvidia drivers, haven’t tried that one myself yet.

Personally I think it has something to do with the new Virtual Reality settings in the Nvidia control panel but anyway…

Problem happens also in Diablo 3, probably other games too, not tested any others.

Still getting intermittent lag spikes on T1 EU that last anywhere from a few seconds to maybe 20 seconds max. It’s effecting a lot of people, on both Kodash, Deso and SFR (I’ve asked them in game).
It’s weird too because it goes from effecting movement some times to effecting stomping, interacting with siege, picking up supplies, repairing etc., stuff like that. Very annoying.

Also if you jump or a few seconds after you come down from a jump then use siege, it says you cannot interact with the siege because you are in the air and your character animation sometimes shows you floating just above the ground. That one happens mostly within towers etc., when siege is placed on maybe a part of the tower that happens to be a few inches above the rest. Only way to break this bug is to way point away (or die). Doesn’t happen all the time either, it’s sporadic but I’ve seen a few people blamed for trolling for just sitting on siege and not using it, when I’ve asked them they’ve said they were bugged too and I’ve had to get them to waypoint in order to get off the siege they were bugged on.

^^ Gratzi !

“Copy the following files to the bin subdirectory: d3d9.dll , dxgi.dll and injector.ini”

Seems others in game I talked with have same problem.

This game looks so bad without it. I know you don’t officially support it Anet but is there anything that can be done to let us enable it’s use again please ?

Never understood why Oceanic players go to NA servers in this game anyway. The latency is a massive amount less on EU servers for Oceanic and you have actual players in their timezone (early EU, there’s a lot of us) rather than NA servers buying/begging Oceanic guilds to join them to just stack their coverage to win on PPT via boring PVD.
Same with SEA players for that matter.

http://www.gw2status.de/ shows no servers down, so no DDOS.
Still getting massive lag spikes on EU servers, SFR, Deso and Kodash all having same problems.
Leading also to disconnects like 50% of the time. Otherwise it comes back normal then lags again after a few minutes.
Unplayable.
Upgrade your servers or fix them, do something.

If that’s the kind of stuff the customer support are emailing as solutions then really, this is beyond a joke now at this stage.

If Anet don’t have the staff or experience to fix the problem then they need to employ people who do. Ridiculous this problem has gone on for so long and people are being given stupid stuff like -clientport 80 as a solution.

It depends on ISP. Maybe Anet don’t have this problem in their HQ so they can’t solve this problem as fast as they would like to. Instead of writing posts like this, you could write something about this error to help solve this problem. What’s more there are people who didn’t even know that router can be resetted and not many people know about switches which can be used in command line in shortcut of GW2. Help, do not criticize.

Oh I gave plenty of detailed info in previous posts here, learn to read before you start playing the fanboi and lashing abuse out at people who dare to make legitimately critical posts.
There’s a lot of people effected by this problem, a LOT and having support put out ridiculous stuff in replies is NOT helpful.

Like I said, if they haven’t got the qualified professional people to sort out the problem then go employ some and stop employing temporary interns and contract staff, losing badly needed experience along the way. It’s not like this is the first time this issue has popped up for many people, there’s threads going back over a year here with similar if not exactly the same problem.

If that’s the kind of stuff the customer support are emailing as solutions then really, this is beyond a joke now at this stage.

^^ What I use, adding /clientport 80 or -clientport 80 didn’t help matters.

ISP: UPC Ireland
Location: Ireland
Region: EU but playing on NA
Server: BlackGate
Error Code: 7:11:3:191:101
All characters effected.
Map Name: Eternal Battlegrounds – none of my characters can load the EB map.

Was effecting me also during the week, couldn’t load any characters into Rata Sum.
Changed DNS, or more to the point, added in Google’s free dns of 8.8.8.8 and that helped get me over the problem of loading characters in Rata Sum but it’s not helping now with loading the EB map in WvW.

Thanks.

So, fixed my problem at least by adding in 8.8.8.8 (google’s free dns server) as an alternative DNS server in the TCP/IP config for my network card then running an “ipconfig /flushdns” from a command line on the PC.

Can’t say it will work for everyone else having the problem but that’s what worked for me anyway.

Well now, according to posters from TC on that other unofficial matchup forums, a load of TC guilds have decided to tank the score in the final week, in order to try get SoS to come second and BG subsequently to come fourth.
The hatred and levels of idiocy are just phenomenal.
Not only did these guilds not learn from what happened to SoR when their guilds decided to just give up and tank the score, but they’re now, again, actually going out of their way to avoid WvW and try tank the score, in the final week of this tournament that they themselves manipulated and win traded with JQ to get this far in the first place.

Just, like, /facepalm !

TC, what a server yo…

I just convert badges to supply traps :/ About all they’re worth.

The fact also that a lot of commanders on both servers involved in the match manipulation weren’t even made aware (and still now some aren’t aware) that their community/guild leaderships on both servers exchanged full lists of commanders’ account names between them is also quite shocking, not to mention also a potential security risk as apparently more than account names were shared.

Simple facts of the matter, it’s match fixing and match manipulation, to the detriment of another whole server of players and apart from all of that, it’s tantamount to nothing short of intentional griefing of another whole server’s community.
Most of it also based purely out of childish hatred, lies and constant abusive trolling by the servers that have been participating in the the match fixing/manipulation.

I honestly feel sorry for a lot of the better half of the community on those 2 servers involved in the match fixing/manipulation as they have seen their community destroyed and tainted badly by the exploitative manipulation of matches, again, based on childish hatred.
Not even based on the ability of one server to win over another, it’s purely based on trying to demoralise another servers’ militia community and that has been made clear many times publicly by many of the guilds and community leadership from the two servers involved in the match fixing/manipulation.

The choice that Anet has taken to totally ignore the matter goes some way to explaining why no gamer of any worth will take their attempts at professional esports seriously, ever. Never mind the mess of grouping 6 servers in a Swiss style tournament, 3 of them utterly out of their depth and nothing, absolutely nothing put in place to deter or hinder the ability to manipulate and fix matches.

Thanks for clarification.

Why do Anet make things confusing, even with a simple thing like refunds ?

Questions…

1) Are the gem refunds automatic for duplicate items bought from the store ?

2) Can or can’t we apply for refunds from tomorrow onwards ? I ask this as you say elsewhere in your post that your customer support cannot process refund requests via support tickets until after the 12th May. If that is the case, could you not just say that people should not apply for refunds until after the 12th May.

3) Other items like Trait resets that were purchased and people still have, can or can’t we apply for refunds for these or are the refunds automatic ? Do we also have to wait until after the 12th May to apply for refunds for these items ?

This 2 week exclusion has nothing to do with stopping people from spying.
Who in their right mind would pay (2,400 Gems in the top tiers) to transfer to what could be an opposition server to spy/troll when you can buy a second account to place on that server, direct from Anet, for less than the cost of the gems.
Hilarious that there’s such a vocal minority on here that do think it’s to stop spying.

That was awfully nice and unexpected from Anet support, thank you very much

I couldn’t figure out how to access the ticket or whatever to reply so sorry for posting here, just wanted to say thanks.

Well, given the apparently huge amount of WvW players quitting to take up AvA in ESO instead, if Anet want to try claw back some of those players then I’d hope account bound wvw ranks is announced today.

I’m always amazed at the few abusive/toxic people from certain small/mediocre skilled servers who have determined they own said server and nobody else is welcome on same.

The more that transfer, the more these people’s voices are drowned out and gotten rid of from the server they claim to own.

Oh and g’luck to Gandara in the season ahead but do realise this free transfer to your server was a lost opportunity to get better coverage from outside of your main EU TZ, spoiled by a few from your server who have given a very bad impression of same.

Posted this in wrong support forum, should have posted it here, so anyway…

I actually preferred the old queue system as at least you could queue from low populated maps and get in faster but this WvW queue system now is a joke.
Joined at 86th in queue for EB, waited over an hour, new players in guild joined, 80th in queue etc., then I’m sat there still in queue while they’re getting in ahead of me.
I then get stuck at 18th in queue after 2 hours and was stuck at 18th for a further 30 minutes before I gave up, relogged and queued again, back now to 67th in queue.
Also, if you queue for a WvW map and are either in an overflow for the likes of LA or join in on an overflow, then the overflow for LA pops for the main, DON’T JOIN IT – just stay in the LA overflow. If you join LA main from an overflow, your WvW queue will bug out and get stuck.
This isn’t beta, the game is released over a year at this stage and you still can’t get stuff like this right.
I know Anet are well known in the gaming community as being extremely bad with bugs, even after a whole year of the GW2 being released but seriously, can you not even consider getting a professional in to your development team to bring a bit of sense to your quality control before rolling changes out ?

Still waiting here also…

Not a great big deal, I played to win for the guild and server rather than any reward and I got my enjoyment out of that for the 7 weeks.

Most of us are running naked ranger uplevels this week tbh.

Good few of them on SFR still and some former members now playing on BlackGate NA also. I think Sparta on Piken Square have a few ex XAOC members too.

nerovergil.5408:

So Blackgate can be a king maker to decide either SoR or JQ get 2nd place if SoR can beat JQ in week 6

Yeah I wouldn’t be happy with us doing that tbh. We knew what was awaiting us in Week 7 if we didn’t win this week so I don’t think we’d (BG) be happy playing a kingmaker for or against any other server either.
I don’t think we’ll come out as strong (stronk!?) in week 7, just take is relatively easy not doing all calls but we won’t roll over for anyone either.

Although we won and the week is just about over, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank JQ for putting up a good fight throughout. Particularly so from your Oceanic and SeA forces.

Maybe GE and ATM get some sleep now huh ?

No it’s not Sparta. They already turned down JQ. It’s a mainly UK based guild.

Jayne.9251:

haha, which guild is this?

I’m genuinely curious.

Can’t think of any that have 40. Most Piken guilds are 15ish, 20ish.

Yeah that’d be the norm, given the queues on PS, you’d be extremely lucky to get even half that amount in, but they do have the ability to field those numbers.
Out of respect to JQ and not wanting to cause any drama for Piken Square, I won’t mention the guild, I’m sure they’ll announce themselves in game whenever they do eventually transfer.

Nice though to see them actually actively participate with players in the game they develop. We’ve had an ArenaNet employee run with us on BG a few nights in a row, even jumping on to TeamSpeak with us – even for an uplevel thief he wasn’t too bad of a WvW’er

This match is far from over, regardless of what some trolls (not even from any servers in this matchup) are waffling on about.

Thank you to JQ for a very tough and constantly challenging matchup, in every timezone – again regardless of what others say, even if one or two specific JQ commanders leave early for whatever reasons, what’s left is far from easy to deal with either. Nothing in this matchup has been easy, and it’s a nice change.

Also wanted to say thanks to certain commanders on JQ for taking up certain issues brought to their attention (without going in to detail, you know who you are and what I mean).

Great fighting, on the whole very honourable and a nice bit of friendly banter in between, makes a huge change for us too, not having to deal with the incessant rubbish we had to put up with when playing SoR.

Special shout-out to [GE] + [ATM] and Sfeeee on JQ for commanding them on JQbl earlier and the constant waves of omega golems incoming to bay, 3 hours +, bay walls were like a Swiss cheese but we held out with inferior numbers. Ty to Roger from KnT and everyone that stuck with him through it all to help keep bay for so long. A very enjoyable fight.

Keep it up, we’re loving the very hard and constant challenge and absolutely do not consider this match-up over whatsoever, we know well JQ will push it hard until the end.

Leave it as it is, such are the ebs and flows of players interested in wvw, don’t see much point in trying to change things drastically other than upping the numbers of players allowed on each map and at least giving us an idea of what the actual queue time will be.
