Guild Wars 2

Fractal Bosses are too Easy. Many of these boss fights last less than 30 seconds. I am a returning player, I remember doing fractals and changing weapons to match up with stat of fighting boss. It does not matter anymore. They pretty much all fall over. Highlight of a boss fight is removing a condition. lvls 1 – 5 can be like that so people have a place to start and learn. Toughen up the others please. Pretty much the same fight over and over again.

Maybe that is because most groups I join do the same fractal lvls over and over. I don’t think I have joined a group doing the lava bird fractal since I have been back. I jump in pug groups that need a 5th. does seem like we do same fractals most of the time.

Mesmer. Great for PVP and PVE. many different builds to fit your play style.

I have lvl 80 thief and lvl 80 Mesmer for over a year and I play Mesmer 99% of the time. Much more fun.

quit paying for upgrades and placing defensive siege. Its pointless anyway. Waist of gold.

The problem is the Server Vs Server model, not WvW mechanics. Anet has tried to improve WvW by changing the WvW mechanics. They need to rethink the Server Vs Server model. That is the cancer which is killing/killed wvw on the non T1 servers.

T1 and T2 will figure out how to kill each other no matter how anet sets up WvW. WvW was dying on lower tier server a long time ago. In trying to save it, Anet killed it. It was dying anyway. In the beginning it was much easier to defend structures. A hand full or players could fend off a good sized zerg with siege. Provided the zerg leaders were not good siege placers. Most were not. The losing servers stopped fighting after the winning server got everything upgraded and sieged. Not to mention all the commander drama that came about on the losing servers. Many complaints and people leaving the game on lower tier servers. To solve this problem Anet has made defending very difficult. Now WvW is much more like PVE. Take, take take, no defense, no fighting, mindless PVE play. The best stat now is to take stuff as fast as you can and recap stuff you lose when you come to it. A farm animal could lead a zerg on a lower tier server now. WvW is BORING!!!!!. Same thing over and over again.

I don’t care if I am fighting for a server, a color, or a side of the map. I want the sides to be even and the game play to be challenging, and fun, not repetitive and boring like it is now.

Hard to buy your Expansion since my WVW end game content was wrecked by all the transfers. Same thing happened when I was on darkhaven, then dragonbrand. History is repeating itself. WvW is boring now days, from what I have seen of your upcoming changes its only going to get worse. I’m done transferring to try and find greener pastures. Not an issue on ESO. Sucks I have to play a subscription there, at least there is fun WvW style PVP. The server model may be making you money in transfer fees in the short term, Its killing you long term.

I love the character classes in this game, switching from class to class gives a different feel for the game which is great. I rotate between 4 classes which keeps doing the same content over and over somewhat fun. If I have to pick one to advance forward then I will become very part time player at best. I can already see groups kicking players because they have not progressed far enough in their expertise system.

Not excited about the game now, less excited about it going forward. I will probably buy the expansion if I get drunk enough. Maybe some of my guild mates that have quit playing the game will come back and play for a while again.

Engee with bomb kit healing was my bad pug group build. I could get most group though fractals or the easy dungeons using this build. Not much for dps, that was the sacrifice for keeping group alive. Sad to see it go.

I use to love WvW as well. After transferring once do to the problem your having. I am not paying to xfer to another server again, I decided to transfer games. Much better.

There is a player running around underneath the floor of SMC attack NPCs. I am not sure if he is stuck there or what? He attacks the NPCs, keeping swords on smc. We cant do anything about it. Does SMC have a basement?

Drdbrnd vs FA vs Yaks

See if I can get a screen shot and submit it as a bug.

Merging servers is not the answer. it only delays the inevitable. people leaving game.

Edge of the mist is more fun, better rewards than wvw. I do it more often now than fight for my server.
The server with dominate numbers gets buffs to make them more dominate.
Zoom hacking siege makes siege pointless as a defense. favors attackers with numbers.
Karma training much more profitable than defending.
Anet has been hard at work destroying wvw.

1) get rid of the boarder land buff that makes the winning team stronger. That’s just a bad idea from the beginning.
2) Cut the cost of upgrading structures by 90% maybe more. That way when the zerg does not come back and help defend you have not lost much.
3) Golems no longer have ranged attacks. Golems are portable siege that are very useful. They must get up on top of the door like rams to attack door.
4) Fix the Zooming. If play A is on north side of wall and player B on south side of wall, Player A should not be able to target player B.
5) Give incremented rewards for defending structures based on their upgrade status as well as taking towers rewards based on upgrade status of tower.
6) players should be able to carry supplies from supply camp to a destination and drop them off.

Some thought I have had for improving WvW gameplay.

Server transfers wont help, it will hurt. There is no one left on SOR. How many people transferred and how many just quit playing the game? I would bet more quit playing than most would think. WvW participation is dropping across all servers. I see server after server we play against barley being able to put 50 people in eb and maybe another 20 across the rest of the maps. I watch camps flip on BLs and 30 minutes later they are still enemy controlled. WvW has turned into PVE and most of the PVPers are leaving. The PVEers only come out when there is a huge zerg and no fighting. Lose one fight and 60% of them are done for the day.

Every week WvW becomes a little more boring. Transfers wont change that. Changing the motives and thus the strats for WvW might. I am beginning to think it is too late.

Matched up against SOR this week. I have not seen a SOR person in EB for a couple days. Dragonbrands pop has been down since the pvp league. We had a huge transfer from our server. The last month or so we have finally rebounded some. The only queues in EB is on reset night. Other servers we play against in tier 3 or 4 have no where near the people they had before. The strat of wvw has degraded to karma training. Defending is pointless. When you are doubling the other servers scores each week or getting doubled defending your 3rd in eb is meaningless.

Not as fun anymore. The drop in pop shows it. The drop in quality of play shows it.

It is dying a slow death. I am on a tier 3 server. We either win with 150+ people running around one week averaging 400 points a tick or lose with 30 people running around averaging 50 points a tick. It is rare to see stuff upgraded or superior siege placed anywhere. Pretty much a huge PVE karma fest when you are winning and a small group taking your stuff back so it can be lost again when your losing. That is what WVW has become. Maybe if you are on Tier 1 or Tier 2 it is different.

I’m seeing a continuous drop in participation by our server and the servers we are playing against. I can only imagine what it is like on tier 5,6,7 servers.

I still enjoy it. Not what it once was.

These lag spikes are getting out of control. we can not run fractals without getting disconnected. Even when we stay in, we are running off ledges, etcs… This needs to get fixed in a hurry. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I would like it back. I would not of purchased the armor skin as it is now. Too much fire in the wrong spots. Its ok looking. Not what I am looking for. I understand the other side of the argument. I will continue on. How about adding the armor back in as a achievement that can be earned in the future. Even though I have already paid for it, I liked it enough I would put in the work to earn it.

PS on the new set, I need to be able to color my fig leaf panties when I am coloring My leggings. The green fig leaves clashes terribly with the color combo I want to use. Too much flames from the shoulders up. Instead of the flaming shoulders, how about more of a glowing effect or just get rid of the fire all together.

Send a employee or 2 out and patrol the wvw maps. when a tower or keep is being attacked have them stand by a ac that is being shot that can not be reached from from door. when it is shot by a ac or someone zooming DELETE THERE ACCOUNT!!!!

Pointless to build siege and try to defend when the other side puts up rams. you shoot them 2 times with arrow cart from safe distance and all the sudden your getting hit by arrow carts. I have watched people put arrow carts by the door against a wall where there is no way in hell they can target anything and use them to destroy siege.

This has been going on for a long time. Either fix the game so it can no longer be done or fix the people that are doing it by removing them from the game. CHEATERS rune the game for the rest of us.

Not for our server. We did not participate in season 1. No need for season 2.

How about a copper league?

WvW has went from very entertaining to not worth doing over the last three months. Has nothing to do with nerfs or classes and everything to do with the meaninglessness of everything that use to be fun. The only strat now is karma training. No one protects camps, yaks, keeps or towers. No upgrades anything. If you do no one comes to defend when it is attacked. No one cares who wins. Totally mindless running around PVEing. When a zerg on my server sees the zerg from another server 50% of the people from both zergs run towards each other and the other 50% run away from each other. At least in Lotro you had to fight the other side and kill them to advance. Here we just take camps and towers and leave them to be taken by the other side. WvW is not anything close to what it use to be. I have tried 2 different servers now. Same thing on both servers. The league is a joke. No one gives a crap about it on my server. Just want to karma train. End game content is dying on my server. My love for this game is dying with it.

Lunatic Inq makes no since to me. Looks like most people die on purpose or drop group when you start. you run around and get killed. It does not take long before there is way more of them than you. Then you become a ghost and run around looking at each other till the time runs out. Maybe I am missing something. I don’t see any point in it. Waist of time.

I am pointing out what is happening. It is only my problem if I log in and play. I have other options. WvW here is a lot of fun at times. As I pointed out, those times are becoming less frequent. It is GW2s problems. They need the average player to play their game. Few can ruin it for the many. GW2 loses far more than me. It would be in their best interest to clean this up.

If the same people that are hacking our Nation’s defense networks is hacking or borderlands then I will give GW2 a pass and accept it. I doubt that is the case.

I watched the people log from my friends list when our garrison fell. Not the only one that was kitten ed. The challenge of holding that keep against the bigger force is what we were looking forward to. Their force was not that much bigger than us. When they took out all of our siege like that it was over before the fight began. Total waist of money to build siege, upgrade camps and keeps.

The end result is people quit upgrade camps, towers and keeps. Like major sports, to compete with cheaters you have to cheat. You cant wait till everyone is cheating to stop it. Now is the time to stop it.

I am not sure how you target Siege and people that are back away from walls inside keeps. Same spots we have put siege for past 8 months and not had any problems. It now seems those same spots are Easley hit and destroyed. The last two weeks walls seem to be meaningless. it is impossible to hold off groups trying to take keeps unless you have superior numbers. If you get anywhere close to the door they are taking down you get waxed, siege used to defend door is destroyed before it can be used.
I saw one guy put up a treb inside the garrison to protect the doors so he could be at safe distance. Very smart. Trebs are not meant to built inside a structure to protect doors.
I can not target anything when there is a wall between me and the target. I can target the side of the wall and maybe shoot over it and get a small area on other side. When we are building arrow cards to protect a door and the arrow carts can barley reach the door and we are getting AOE circle and arrow cart attacks coming at what gives?

Siege is pretty much pointless as well as defending and upgrading. might as well just run around and try taking camps while your BL gets taken. Unless you got the biggest zerg. Why waist your money upgrading?

Everyone was yelling they were zoom hacking what ever that is? Who knows? If they were legit then I am very disappointed in evolution of the WvW in this game. Might was well turn it into LOTRO WvW and make it a big free for all. If they are hacking then I am very disappointed in those who run the game for not getting out there and stopping it. Its not hard to figure out when it is happening. Just log into the game and watch the taking of keeps. Pretty obvious. Either way this is very unsatisfactory. With Helms Deep coming out I can find other WvW that is equal to what I am seeing here now. Creeps vs Freeps.

Was a lot of fun while it lasted. All good things come to a end I guess.
