• Fixed a bug where waypoints were available for a few seconds between repel events.

Can you clarify what this means exactly? Is this removing the “Spam waypoint in 5 seconds” stuff?

Yes, that’s exactly what that means.

Right after the first season of WvW I give gw2 a break and I’m slowly coming back to see how things are before the expansion launch. And IIRC this time windows of spamming the waypoint to defend was massive used, this was what? 2013? And you are saying that what we were doing was a bug fixed in late 2015? Almost 2 years after I give the game a break things like that are still around.

I know this can sound a rant but I always felt that WvW and sPvP was the best thing this game have to offer and the development of both is so slow. I mean, after almost 2 years I’m getting back and sPvP basically offers the same things.

I remember when WoW introduced Rated Battlegrounds, it was so fun because they already had so many maps with different objectives.

Sorry if this sounds aggressive but it’s just a point of view of someone who loves pvp and I see in sPvP something that have so much potential but if we have to wait new expansions to receive new game modes I feel sad about it but I know I couldn’t demand more I guess since the game don’t have a subscription system.

Zaoda.1653:

One of the best updates of the year by far, thanks Anet for listening to us and making WXP account bound (I can’t wait for it to be implemented in game!).

For me is THE BEST update of the year. ;D Thx ANet.

Another cool change would be if they take out the PVE content inside WvW.

Wow, now they are starting to fix WvW, thx ANET. Hope you keep up with this. Now they just need to fix sPvP.

Worse… PVE inside WvW, This league is totally horrible, basically the league was made to raise some money for ANET with the server transfers, all the problems we had was not addressed.

- PVE inside WvW
- League is useless, made the WvW worse then ever.
- No decent rewards.
- No alt friendly, you need to grind so many levels if you want to play with 2-3 toons.
- Skill lag since day 1, never got addressed.

Srsly, take your money elsewhere.

Carize.8532:

TL;DR: Stop the kittening and whining about unfair matchup or schedule or 2v1…you just make yourselves look petty and childish. GO FIGHT

GO FIGHT! for JQ is more GO FIGHT DOORS! hehehe but srsly I think who should be mad at this is JQ at the first place, for 2 reasons:

1 – They will have 3 weeks of nothing …
2 – Their title of first place will always be remembered by this, its stained no matter what.

At the end of the day if you analyze ANET kittened JQ, not SoR or BG, well thats IMHO.

Talyn.3295:

Be nice to see some kind of response from a developer on this. Even if its just a small “Working as intended comment”

Haha, think it won’t happen … ofc they already read this but will ignore like many other issues.

The Good

Tab targeting getting better;
Condi floaters are awesome;
As a elementalist player I liked the changes that was made;
Tooltips on the Traits will help many people;
Stunbreak changes was something that makes the game more balanced;
Other minor fixes and balances like, sigil of para fixed, new option for ground-targeting, turret’s targeting, skills that buff allies in an AoE now prioritize party members.

The Bad

WvW season 1, something that was only made to raise money with the transfers, I can’t see how someone playing from tier 2 and other tiers will have fun on this. They will be just steamrolled.

Season 1 Schedule, don’t know who made that, but clearly gave advantage to Jade Quarry to win season 1 easily, putting them with 3 free wins, while SoR and BG will have only 1 free win.

PVE inside WvW, well … this was a horrible idea, people now make long queues in WvW do to some kitten PvE content, they already have Living Story, why made them come and frustrate our determination on PVP, people doing absurd stuffs on WvW that I will contain myself to not lose my mind and make this a bad feedback. Just to name one thing: KITTEN PEOPLE just going for ACHIVS instead of helping us to defend a kittening tower, SRSLY … and mocking us at map chat jesus christ I will stop here.

Immobilize stack is just wrong, making the game easy like spam this that will work, no need to save your cooldowns to make a chain or something more complex. This just make the game easier making people just spam stuff and will work. I really hate this kind of changes that make the game “simple” If I want to play something simple I have plenty of other games to play.

Even with the changes I still think Warrior is the most OP class out there.

Missing:

One of the things that could help make people play more sPvP is make the Tome of Knowledge come along each time you lvl up in sPvP. But only this wont make sPvP reward good, will need more incentive.

MOAR sPvP modes … 1 year really.

Guild management is very poor, in many senses like lack of functions.

A quick suggestion, PLEASE make more options while you are going to teleport out of a Living Story map, like at this labyrinth, you go to Lion’s Arch, nooooooooo I don’t want to go to a 2 min loading city, make me pick from all other cities or at least my home town.

“It is also the case, that we want people playing all the parts of the game”

you should reconsider that premise. you are forcing people to do aspects of the game they dont enjoy. i didnt enjoy to go through 7 scarlet invasions just to get into the funhouse (which took 15 minutes to do, argh! i LOVE solo dungeons, funhouse and queen’s gauntlet for example). neither do i enjoy world bosses /temples just to get ascendeds. trust me i’ve tried everything (dungeons, world bosses, spvp, tpvp, exploring.. you name it) and there are simply thing i dont enjoy because i find them boring or unsatisfactory in other ways. i dont see why you keep making me go through that content just so i get stuff i need for other kinds of content. i find it quite offending tbh. various content styles should be options, not requirements. (except for legendaries, achievments or similar stuff which you can skip or not without hurting yourself in other aspects of the game). as a wvw player i want to have the same quality of gear as my opponents and getting ascendeds requires me to craft and do PVE content i dont enjoy. or just play 900 hours of WvW for a piece (which is what i decided to do), cant skip the crafting though, neither the gold grind associated with it.

I was going to quote this as well, how can they think about forcing people to do things they don’t enjoy. I really don’t get it. When I first started playing GW2 I thought it was going to be a different game with open minded devs. But times shows that this was not the case.

There are some PVE content that I do enjoy doing it. But most of them just makes me sick. For example the SAB was something that I couldn’t take for more then 5 min. I quit doing it after 15 min and never come back. On the other hand is the content that my brother loves to do.

TBH I don’t even know why I still bother to write this kind of stuff, devs will just ignore this type of comments anyways.

Since the first place is already obvious, it will be a good fight for the second place.

Clearly who made this schedule don’t know anything about the current state of WvW. It blows my mind how this basic mistakes pass without getting notice by the staff.

Anyway the whole point of the WvW season was to make some quick money with the transfers. I don’t blame them tho … if they don’t want to do an expansion, the money have to come from somewhere.

Having the best fights while your server is double team against one, thats wierd oO

Blame that on poor map control on BGs part – you don’t pull tails and don’t expect to get bitten.

So you are saying that you double team us because of our poor map control ? Holy kitten I’ll stop read forums.

Having the best fights while your server is double team against one, thats wierd oO

I used to play with MERC and I remember them complaining about double team against them, and today MERC double team with SoR to take our garrison LOL.

I’m not QQing about double team, I just hate hypocrites. Good fights tho.

Didnt find hard, its normal level tbh. Did with pugs with no problems. Give 2 days people will do it with one hand.

Vol.5241:

This change was good for me -I was at rank 90 and had about +110 laurels and more than enough badges.

I’m already tricked out in ascended accessories and even have the Endless Cat Tonic, so my laurels were only accumulating.

With leagues coming in a few weeks I bought about 40 ranks to get Applied Fortitude.

Yes laurels are time-gated but I still have about 70 left over incase new items are released.

Good for you because you are investing in ONE toon, people with a lot of ALTs that want to play with all of them is left behind.

If I was interested in playing only one characters the old system was fine, but this is not the case for me and for many others who want to play more then one char.

I know people with Rank 300+, ask them if they have interest in playing their ALTs with rank 31. LMAO

This WvW ranks for ALTs is too much grind and it is boring in my opinion. Make at least something like the higher rank you have on your account will be transfer by HALF for all your other characters.

For example if you have a lvl 200, all your others chars will get + 100 plus what you already have. So if I have an ALT with level 27, he will get 100 + 27 = 127. Your solo progression sums up with the MAIN high lvl progression divided by 2.

The problem with this is if you have two chars almost even like 100 and another with 90. The second one will end up with 50+90=140 wich is higher then the higher one. Things like you cannot pass your high level char by this, so the math will be 50+90=140, the higher is already at 100 so you get down to 100 as well. Both will have 100.

TBH I don’t know if any of this that I just wrote makes any sense, the BETTER SOLUTION ? YEAH make WvW RANK ACCOUNT WIDE ¬¬ Yes I used caps because I’m angry at ANET.

This is kinda useless to me, doesnt fix the ALT problem, I’m still stuck with one character because ANet like to punish people who have ALTs. =(

As a heavy WvW player, I don’t get upset if I try to enter at any BL and its full because of GvG’s. First of all I don’t blame them, totally the oposite, if ANet can’t provide us with some good PVP experience its their merit that they found this to do.

I’d rather have a GvG mode instead this actual sPvP, if some ANet dev comes to me asking “we’re going to cut this sPvP off the game and put a beta GvG totally unfinish that we don’t know when we’re going to finish instead” I would answer him “how much do you want? take my money”

@topic

Day by day I kinda lost the respect from anet as a company, so many bad decisions along this first year of the game that I feel sad, just sad :/ When I say bad decisions is about PVP exclusively (WvW and sPvP).

After they said that WvW ranks wont be account bound I can expect anything from them now, after one year of gw2 I know that no matter how “good/makes sense” the feedback is they will do whatever they want, the only chance of them doing what we want is when the request of the players match with what they already had planned. And then people will praise ANet saying they listen costumers …

Its something like: OK, you guys are requesting this, hmm let me check, yeah we kinda had planned something similar We listen you and we decided that we’re going to do it.

I don’t blame them, they are a company and work for money, everyone does that right. I have 28 years and I know how things work these days, but there is a gamer inside me that wants cool stuff

In the end I’ll stop care, like they already do, and will play the game they want me to play.

Nice, keep it going … ANet don’t have a clue how to manage their game (talking about pvp in general) they are doing a great job at the Living Story tho …

Unfortunately for pvp players thats bad

As Erwin said, yes its not a big of a deal, MLG probably knows the current state of sPvP and will not full support it until it fix.

Perfect gif to describe the sPvP lol.

I don’t know, is that kinda hard to enter in a map and ask what TS are you guys using ? If there is none ok move to another one.

I bet that those who are asking for nerf manage to kill it in an organized way will notice how good is the feeling and will stop asking easy content.

And the list starts to grow. grats TC.

“acceptable levels” well thats your opinion …

Just to clarify, my best try got him down to 50%. So yeah I think the fight its ok, people will learn it and give 2 weeks max people will do this without using TS or other mass voice communication program

Let matters take their course , people will learn and the experience will be much better. You don’t need to beat any content after 1 day after release did you ? This will be permanent, relax.

I hope ANet just ignore those who are whining, people need to learn that they dont need to complete all the content within the next hour after release.

My best try was 50% and I’m happy about it, give some time to people and try to coordinate better, the feeling of beat hard content worth it, stop asking for easy mode content please, we already have plenty of them.

Fomby.4295:

Account bound. Why is it a bad idea?

Because this will make them lose money selling bs boost thru gem store

Thank you for explanation although I dont care what is the problem, I just wanted a FIX, and it should be something real simple to fix.

Even tho this thread is 3 months old, the problem persist.

Hello Im looking a guild to do GM with, every sunday around 1~5pm EST if I find a guild starting near 1~2pm it would be perfect.

Thanks in advance.

Why do we have one game mode after one year ?

Even the new maps are just meh. I wonder what happen if they put skyhammer in tournaments.

Im afraid pvp devs are playing PVE content =/ this living world nooooo

Im with 70%, I think I’ve open something about 900+

So basically if you dont do guild missions you are *#&$#@ ?

=/

So we can now craft the PVT items right ;? Since I learned a PVT Staff, and it ask this soldier’s orichalcum imbued inscription, where do we get this inscription now ?

At the moment we have 4 TABS, General Options, Graphic Options, Sound Options, Control Options.

Please insert an Advanced Tab, some features that I remember now…

- Feature Request: Turn off salvage confirmation dialog (from reddit)
- Hide Personal Story Progress
- An option to show ONLY Guildie/Party/Friend’s names (from reddit)

I’m sure this list can grow, its a work in progress you guys should add that for sure.

And of course like at others Tabs it will have the Restore Defaults, so new players that mess with that can fix in 1 sec.

The fight was really rewarding, its very good to see this kind of content here. Good job ANet

What bothers me is that WvW dont make the whole thing lag … This events are affecting the servers in general.

Lag Wars

Please keep the discussion about gauntlet farming in other threads, lets use this one just for thx how Deadeye helped a lot of us.

So let me start saying Thx Deadeye to make my life easier in this game, I was not playing so much and you make me get a lot of gold. created a mesmer and one guardian lvled them by crafting. Could by some T3 cultural armor as well and equip my alts. Everything has an end and I ended up with this nice alts and 180g left. I didnt farm 24/7 like many others but Im very happy with what Ive got.

Goodbye, Farewell and Amen Deady (yeah I used to call him by that)

Of course 1v1v1 is more fun. But 2×1 is not that bad aswell, we have fights all over ;D

Well first your title is not right. People are farming others aswell.

Im farming deadeye with 4 gambits either with my thief or mesmer, although I think with the mesmer is more safer, I’m doing it quicker with my thief.

With that said, I wish they could fix this because its horrible for the economy, its too easy, either they fix this or I will keep farming.

Shockwave.1230:

Why is it impossible now?

Thats why I’m asking, what do you think … because all my friends who got the achiv, including myself did this achiv killing Deadeye Dunwell.

And another friend who have a ranger only, just started to play queen’s gauntlet. We started to discuss if he was going to be able to get it, but I don’t see hes getting it, perhaps at subject 7 ?

@Astral, sorry my english sucks

Well the title says all. What do you guys think about. Perhaps one or two classes can do it but its going to be nearly or totally impossible for others.

Just for the note the High Stakes Gambler achiv is the one that you need to defeat a Third Tier match on Queen’s Gauntlet Arena with 5 gambits activated.

More QQ about this ? Srsly … I don’t even touch at TP, I make my gold doing other things but I have friends who play with TP pretty well, and they make a lot of profit very fast and they all do undercutting strategies.

If you lose the TP battle my friend, don’t come here to whine about it please.

If I drop an item that is 500g, and I think this price is stupid and I’m happy selling it for 400g little fast, I’m totally fine with it.

This prices are way too high sometimes (most of times tbh) I don’t blame people for undercuting.

No one remember when ANet have said that if it was necessary they would balance the gem/gold market. So yes, they can interfer.

I remember this clearly when I was playing the BWE´s and we had a lot of QA back there. I was 9 months or so without playing GW2 so I don´t know if they changed what they have said.

I’m a 90% PvP player, maybe 95%, my first char I leveled 65~80 at WvW.

But I spend most of the time in WvW, lately all the time. sPvP needs a rework asap. No rewards outside sPvP, only skins is useless. Need to get gold or something.

The current meta is horrible =/
