Guild Wars 2

WvW is totaly unplayable, invisible armys everwhere i play only for WvW, so this is pretty much the end for me here, such a shame was a realy good game so far..

the good thing tho is the game have no subscription so i can allways just log in when/if this gets fixed at some point.

Come join us in far shiverpeaks we struggle alot at night, so there is pleanty of action around.

I once won in chess, cause my opponent was sleeping

A: I think you are thinking of caps lock in a wrong way, dont think of a commander yelling at you, but think of it as a tool to stand out in the chat and get peoples attention, we all know how the chat can be somedays, 10 different people telling everyone where they need to be at the same time, that + a troll or two, commanders need to be heard, but i think arenanet should give commanders some better tools, maby a commander only chattext colour? on screen orders? the system needs improvements i agree on that.

only want to comment on A, since i agree on the rest.

Yeah sounds pathetic, but the probably 2nd most active (compared to the queue sizes publiced by anet) server in europe (riverside [DE]) just got Outmanned buff on 2 of the 4 battlegrounds at the absolute europe primetime.
Maybe they see they cant face their opponents and quit, maybe they leave to WoW:MoP or maybe exploits (or tactics near to whats called an exploit) and nightcapping is (even anet says it isnt) an issue.

i’m curious to know how the stats on your server are.
For myself i didnt took a single fight in WvW since Saturday, and with todays patch who didnt inflict wvw at all, im quiet sure i wont even login for some time (until anet brings some major fixes to wvw)
however: positive even the queue for SM are quiet short right now, maybe anets goal was to reduce queue size, by keeping night capping & co up

I feel you, we face the same problem on Far shiverpeaks, its a problem and a big problem it feels like playing a game impossible to win no matter the effort, im hoping for a fix soon, if its ignored im afraid i will find some other game with chances of winning.

You mention you guys was hacked, i read that in a few posts but noone mentions what happend? did someone from Vizunah square also flyhack the orb from you guys? just curious.

Nope, not what I’m saying at all. Allow me to simplify my thoughts:

1. I like the scoreboard, and believe it enhances competition and server pride. Taking it out is not worth the harm to a competitive environment just because some people might get their feelings hurt when they’re on the losing side.

2. If the scoreboard was taken out, anet would likely lose me as a customer for the cash shop and future expansions.

Thats the thing WvW isent competitive at all its who got the greatest numbers wins, its a win/win solution think about it.

This is a realy great idea! i mean whats the point of having a scoreboard when WvW isent competetive or anything near E-sports like it was adverticed, that will only happen in games like LOL, Hon, starcraft ect where you start at an equal footing, with exactly the same amount of players at any given time, this is the solution that will solve everyones problems in WvW a realy easy fix also, and french people would also sleep alot better, starting to worry about their health :/

Im all in for this idea!

@go to sleep

I actualy wish that was somehow true! care to explain your logic behind that? since we came in 2nd everytime since start, and allways get matched with Vizunah which by your logic would be ranked 8 then?

Warboss.

I see your point communication could be better, but it wouldent change much for us, we still would have around 10 people during nighttime, many people say “recruit some americans” but we all know that’s not even possible since FS is full, i guess im just abit disapointed that, nomatter the effort we put into it there is nothing we can do to change it, i was hoping for epic & competitive battles in this game, dont get me wrong we do have some realy good battles, but its far from competitive when the system awards quantity above quality, wouldent it also be more fun for the Vizunah people to allways have around the same numbers, i at least couldent imagine knocking on empty keeps would do it for me in the long run, cant we solve this somehow? there must be a way wouldent it feel more like a victory if it was on even terms.

vizunah got the nightbonus, fs the exploitbonus. riverside – the fairplay bonus, but who cares fairplay its about being #1 in europe (lol)

Riverside camped the jumping puzzle this night on FS :P

No hard thoughts though, I clearly don’t care about that.

I have to admit it has been a great pleasure and a pain in the <insert kitten here> to play against you and I am happy we are matching again. With Desolation, we were never obliged to watch our backs and expect the 3rd server to come in through the opened doors and just steal what the 2 other servers have been working on to attack/defend.
That’s exactly what a 1vs1vs1 should look like. I was really feeling FS and RS was teaming up (as my guild was defending Vizunah homemap last week) while I am sure you feel pretty much the same.

Great respect to Riverside, good games, tough battles, it’s a pleasure !

By the way, as a matter of fact, to answer the topic, the strongest server in Europe is #1, but I actually do not really care about being first, second or whatever (when we started organizing before BWE1, we were not thinking we’ll be that high tbh), what I care is great battles at the time I log, and a sense of progression, and being better at the game, and that’s what happening.

FS, RS, get some even better organization (it’s already nice to see but there’s always room for improvement), maybe recruit some off-peak and kick our kittens, I can’t wait to see VS outscored, that’ll be en even greater motivation.

Thanks a lot for the great battles, FS & RS, & see you on the field !

Great post man respect to you! but we do not struggle in battles during the day when we have the numbers, our only realy issue is our numbers at nighttime.

Warboss i assume you are french and playing on Vizunah right? i would like to invite you to our server for one night 24 hours, and play WvW with the 10 people we usualy are, then ill trade with you put on numlock autorun on vizunah and go with the 100+ zerg , then after that you tell me how that experience was, you could be the best player in the world but you wouldent be able to realy do anything, after alot of thinking about the system i dont think its fair, but i live with it and play along, but dont claim that you are even slightly good, when i meet some vizunah player 1 vs 1, its very rare that its me dying, you have at highest a handfull of realy good pvpers, but you got the numbers and thats apparently the only thing in WvW that matters, on a side note Riverside have ALOT more skilled players, and i struggle sometimes in 1 vs 1 situations, but dont take what i write to hard on yourself cause you get no real practice in pvp so its understandable. my few cents..

Yeah in fact on vizunah we’re actually all rerolling, you know, cause WvWvW is pretty easy for us, and we want you to have an advantage.
So yeah not so hard to 1v1 with my level 20.

And you compare 1v1 to WvWvW, it just means that you didn’t even understand WvWvW.

Frogs #1 EU.

Ok you dident get it, ill cut it out in paper for you in the nicest way i possibly can
at nighttime we have 10 Players Vizunah have 100 Players, noone wants to defend vs that many when we are so few so we run around mostly solo trying to ninja cap stuff around the map, that usualy end up in 1 vs 1 situations or 1 vs 100 situations, So yes at night on FS you depend on your own skills to manage to do stuff, Arenanet stated that they want the game to be like this, so im accepting that, but im not accepting that you think you are good at it that was basicaly what i was saying, everyone can put up a ram and knock down a door in an undefended keep, thats realy nothing to be good at

Dear Arenanet, please give us some info how you will deal with this problem.

MasterofKhaos.8903:

Trust me ArenaNet is banning accounts for map-hacking. I’ve received word from Devs that this is the case. The thing is they need people to report the individuals in question. So if you ever see it happen on your server/ our server be sure to repeat these cheaters as they negatively affect our community.

As Samusen said, I will make this my goal for the next few days to uncover the culprit. We want to win, but we want it to happen fair and square. Sorry you guys were victims of a bad apple.

This sounds good in theory, but reporting a player that for one can fly with the orb ignoring walls/keep doors is hard to catch, and if you saw him/her the report would sound something like this: I would like to report a hacking incident i saw “Vizunah square invader” use a hack to pass through a wall and fly it to safty in their keep, at peak times there is what 500 vizunah square invaders? What arenanet should do it look at the logs, see who took the orb at given time and Ip ban the player.

Something similar happend in warhammer online, ALOT of people complained about it, nothing was done about it and thousands of players left the game, and it never realy recovered from that, but this will not be the issue here Arenanet will take care of this in a proper manner, as its gamebreaking and who wants to play a game where hacking and exploiting is part of the daily tactic.

Yer its kinda sad that some people ruin the gaming experience for others, pointless to fight as it stands, lost the will to play WvW untill this is resolved, hours of work down the drain, /rant off lucky x-com beta just came out.

This just happend for us also, Vizunah square hacked to steal the orb from far shiverpeaks garrison, can we get some Arenanet reply on this issue, action have to be taken, as this is gamebreaking.

Please let us have something like this, it fixes all the targeting bugs in the game atm, as i see it its win/win for everyone

I realy would like to see a few changes to mouse rotation & targeting in this game

1. when i am in combat i move alot, and try to be aware all the time what happens around me while i fight, i use right mouse button to rotate while fighting, but there are a few things that prevent that, right click on a target when trying to rotate selects a new target for me, i dont see the reason for this since you can use tab & left mouse to do this, please make an option for me to disable right click to select targets, i know alot of people realy would like to see this

2. Also when fighting and you rotate the camera all around, sometimes you loose target completely.

love the game cheers

First of all realy great game! and some of the best pvp (WvWvW) i have seen to date, and i have been playing mmo’s since Ultima online,
but all new games have some flaws, i would like the oppotunity to point out some of the flaws this game have in WvWvW.

1. Everyone wants fair and even battles, what i am talking about here is at night, some servers play 100 vs 10 in WvWvW, just after reset
caps everything and makes sure they get all orbs, and resources and gain a 50k point advantage untill their opponents log on the day after
this is a major issue, due to the game beeing competetive, and have a ranking system.
there are a few way to sovle this, Zelden.6143 made a very good solution to this let me quote him

“Is it ideal that people can play at anti-social hours to get an advantage to take keeps that were previously hard-fought over?
Should there be a variable population cap which only allows an incremental percentage of difference in the number of plays on each team?
If like many nights there are only 3 of us from our server in the battleground, should 10x that number be allowed from another server?”

Another idea could be to lock down castles, keeps & towers from beeing capped from midnight > morning.

No matter how this gets solved, as i see it its very urgent to do something about it, other mmo’s i have been playing lost big numbers of
players to similar or worse issues getting ignored, but i have a good feeling that this is something Arenanet is aware of allready, and fixing
fast

2. A member of my guild and a good friend of mine, who also love to pvp (WvWvW) pointed out to me that he couldent afford to pvp due to the repair
bill from dying, he’s only level 17 so dying alot in there, it would be nice to see it lowered or even removed, so everyone can WvWvW as much as they want to.

3. One thing i dont see the reason for is the mining nodes, skill points & jumping puzzles in a WvWvW map,
that should be left for the pve world only one suggestion could be to keep the nodes around but instead of getting ore from the, it could be
resources for building siege weapons & repairing walls/gates with, maby with a % chance of getting a siege weapon schematic.

Apart from one major issue and two minor WvWvW is realy fun and enjoyable, especialy the amount of players and spell effects the game can handle on
a 2 year old computer, realy a nice job there! now lets make WvWvW Fair, competitive and enjoyable for even the smallest servers together!

I would have to agree, that something should be done, im on Far shiverpeaks, and we sleep at night i just woke up and Vizunah is in the lead with 53000 points, nothing we can do to pick up after that, so to win we should all quit jobs, schools and use drugs to stay awake 24/7 ? hehe, we all want to win and have fair battles, if i were at Vizunah square i would have a bad taste in my mouth, with the cheese wins 100 vs 10 at night, and yes i even tried one night to stay awake to see the state of this issue, and yes numbers on our side was around 10 people vs roughly 100 from Vizunah.

With all that said we have such epic battles at day! when we have even numbers, isent that what its all about? Vizunah go to sleep at night, and lets settle this at day!

Peace out
