I am “That” guy you have all heard about.
1,073 precursors forged and counting.
I’ve completed Diamond 3 times this week. I would also like it if every subsequent completion of the 6 tiers of diamond awarded more tickets. I mean if we are all gonna kitten and kitten about the kitten kitten then I would kitten like some more kitten kitten kitten kitten kitten tickets. JUST SAYING. In all seriousness I am being rewarded with more pips because I have been a primarily wvwvw player. I feel like it is working as intended.
I have also completed Diamond 3 times this week. It would be nice to get more tickets but I do understand the cap. However, I would like to see additional rewards such as Mystic Coins for each additional completion or an Amalgamated Gemstone.
I could completely get behind this. Amalgamated would be awesome. I have crafted all the HOT legendaries in addition to all the Vanilla ones and really dislike the amalgamated deal.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could all go back to the way it was before linking?
We certainly aren’t having population issues at the moment
And honestly, for EU at least, it’s a better system without the linking.
Mesmers, Mesmer has one role either be condition spammer to help out with epidemic or be support boon duration.
*Condition mesmers have been really annoying and strong since release of HoT. You can spam conditions too quickly and too much. Its like ghost thief which people have been asking for it to.be nerfed but hasn’t been nerfed (I guess someone needs to solo raid boss on this). The boon duration full wandrer or minstrel build.. ugh same thing over and over boring mindless brain dead pathetic play style. Its not engaging and nor fun.
~Thief, thief was big part of the gank squad but with the meta making every class full tank frontline thief got out of the meta and still cant find its place back into group fights because everything is a ball.
~Rangers, I don’t mind druids being heal bot because it allows rangers to be part of group fights and not just be excluded. It gives rangers to be supportive rather than do nothing but I also think longbow dps druids can be a good select for gank squad if it ever comes back.
With all the stuff I just wrote what I am trying to get at is the current play style of WvW is boring its just mindless zerging “You blob I blob”. Zerg busting gave guilds a goal to work toward, it created passion between players for WvW, players spent hours learning and perfecting things. There was dedication. That doesn’t exist anymore hence why players are leaving WvW and the game because there is no overall “goal” there is no excitement, there is no more adrenaline rush between players. Most guilds hate raiding in WvW because they know if you don’t blob you will just get blobbed because power creep, player skills, and knowledge of the game.
This is what players want back and this is what will bring new and old players back:

Arena Net, I just have one request. I know a lot of thing is wrong with WvW but if you want to keep the current players playing WvW please give us a goal to work towards; which is zerg busting. I miss zerg busting , thats my passion and I want that to be my goal. So please give us more Wvw specific class balance that will help smaller groups a lot more.
I want the back in which you had backline, gank and frontline. It’s a perfect fundamental idea. Everyone had a role and goal to achieve not this silly melee ball circle stuff. I wanna leap in as a frontliner while my backliner drop massive bombs and watch those massive downs once again and then watch my gank clean up the downs. I miss that. Bring it back please.
Dont remove Desert Borderlands is the best PvE map ive ever seen in this game, has a lot of potential, we just need a t-rex world boss in the middle and some mechanics with dinosaurs involved
i am serious
Over time, the WvW Sub-forum has seen a growing number of posts about game worlds, or servers. No matter how well-intentioned the posts may start out, two kinds of threads soon sink into negativity and unconstructive commentary:
To increase the value of these forums for players and devs alike, and to keep the conversations constructive, we’re going to disallow these two kinds of threads and posts. We ask for your cooperation in not creating or contributing to threads or posts on these subjects in the future. Thanks very much.
Some months ago, we asked forum members to not create or engage in threads requesting the reopening of a server or the adjustment of Glicko ratings for a specific server. We explained why at the time, but a little more information and an expansion of our request seems in order at this time.
Server Reopening Requests: Worlds reopen most often due to the natural ebb and flow of players, which impacts the number of play hours on a given world. If a world reopens, it is usually because players or guilds changed worlds, players have stopped playing on that world, or, rarely, because we made an overall adjustment to world capacity. We do not reopen servers upon request and ask that you not post such appeals.
Thread about Worlds: While we appreciate “world pride,” quite a few threads about game worlds become unnecessarily contentious and negative, and we need to close those. Sometimes the mods use the term “matchup thread” when taking action. Yet you should know it’s not the matchup that’s the problem, it’s the unpleasant comments or tone. I’ll work with the moderators to help them make closures, warnings, and infractions clearer.
Glicko Resets: The devs don’t reset a Glicko rating upon request, and resets are not based on perceptions or opinions but on factual data derived from the game info itself. We’ve seen understandable confusion when a reset takes place shortly after someone posts a request thread, or when a reset did not happen even though someone requested it. In order to avoid that kind of confusion, we ask that players not submit Glicko reset requests.
Arguing World Links: The devs make world linking decisions after on a neutral review of data, using algorithms, and based on their best judgment. If you want to discuss your opinions about specific world linkings, you’re welcome to do so. If you have questions, my best advice is to pose your questions in a conversational (not combative) way, because sometimes a dev will be able to provide some information, such as here. However, as a general rule, ArenaNet employees simply do not have the time that would be required to answer individual questions or debate a world linking topic. They do read the forums, however, and will review your constructive feedback on the subject.
I hope these additional details and explanations will help everyone understand our desire for communication coupled with our need to set realistic standards for discussions and forum topics.
I support this idea, sounds fun, nice and well thought out and woudl be the missing good hybrid between PvP and WvW I guess that anet tried to make with Strongholds
The birthday gifts should come with a free transfer token. Letting a player move for free once a year (or rather X times character slots) would improve enjoyment of many WvW players. Moving servers often makes for several weeks of exciting new play with new friends and enemies.
I could get behind this.

+1
Give the linked servers their identities back.
GL AR, I hated having to move my alt account but there was no way I was going to spend months linked with YB.
tittle says it all
Win or lose DR remains eternally positive . We do a lot more winning but face the challenges of losing head on and never falter as community. We are growing and climbing all the time and we leave the drama out. Please message me in game.
I dont understand why they cant do this. So many other big mmorpgs out there made it possible. How can they not have technology for that? and im sure they earn PLENTY of money from the gem store to make such a thing happen. Having to choose between my EU and american friends is terrible. Ive played with so many americans in gw1 and ive never been able to play with them in gw2. Its not exactly something that keeps players in the game xD quite upsetting. and now that the game has been out for over a year, you would think they would try to solve this. but nah. we just get more fancy armors and weapons in the gem shop. Very disappointed with Anet in this. feeling helpless. not gonna spend 1,800 every week/month to switch between servers.
EU/NA guesting would be nice, BRING BACK THE OLD GW1 SYSTEM FOR SERVERS
I will also add complain.
Friends from another games are in US and on US servers.
How should we play now?
We can’t even do dungeons together.
Also as mentioned after some time most ppl are offline, and going for other servers would be really great.
And this is where Anet fails badly! How im suppost to play with my guild wars buddies? Are you trying to break us apart? =(
I hope they will pull it off and make EU and NA guesting possible…
Actually, they didn’t promise that you would be able to cross-realm. They said that there would be restrictions.

But fine, feel free to make stuff up
1000000000000000000% support.
So I can’t even join my NA buddies now? I was kind of happy that guesting would finally be implemented but it’s region specific. Good job on getting guesting in, hope they do something about the region ties.
This was the thing I was afraid of. There was a serious lack of communication which many players, myself included thought it was a very important feature. We’re not told of the current situation, no progress reports etc. Just this, now I’m tied with sticking to either a NA or EU region.
This seriously is a suckerpunch makes most of my efforts moot now.
If anyone could help me understand the arrangements in Gw1 about server choices etc that would be greatly appreciated as I only played a little bit of Gw.
Good job on the guesting but I’m not very happy about the lack of communication allowing me to plan way beforehand.
Nothing more to say that guesting is very disappointing and that I agree with what the post is asking.
I have no need whatsoever to transfer between NA servers, but I would have liked to guest my friend on european server..
I am sad about this as well. I had really looked forward to being able play with American based friends, without losing those on European servers.
My idea of guesting was able to play say usa time zone when my time zone is sleeping and same with usa.
Atm gusting is mostly useless then.
Oh well hopefully in the future we can guest usa servers.
Record the players doing it with FRAPS and email it to their customer support.
If you’re looking for a sense and stability, and wanting to expand in WvW, I could suggest a place like Darkhaven. It is a bronze tier server, but I believe we are currently 2nd there, and improving our numbers and pushing against servers we’ve previously had trouble with, and beating them. The WvW community is strong, and tight knit. Everyone is helpful, strong and consistent commanders, and usually have a good presence without any queues outside of Reset night and some Prime Time nights.
Check out Gate of Madness! We have been steadily moving up in ranks and getting to face new opponents all the time. The fights are plenty and we still have room for growth. I came here and started a guild and have never looked back since.
Whatever you do, go to a T2 server. Don’t go below or above.
Every server you listed has virtually no queue times. I would bet even T1 has pretty low queue times these days.
Of the ones listed, I would only consider FA. I haven’t been on that server so not sure of their general attitude but they are a solid server. Dragonbrand is a heavy off NA peak server. The others are too low and lack a significant population based on my experience. I am sure they are all fine servers but I would want to be in some place with a decent amount of players which is Tier1/Tier2 and maybe some T3 servers.
TC is probably the most friendly server based on reputation but T1 and not on your list. I would NOT come to Maguuma. It is a great place for veterans and established guild groups but doesn’t seem to be particularly friendly.
Of the ones listed I would go with FA, nice big server and I know some really good people on there. That being said I left FA about 9 months ago because there were a bunch of rather, unpleasant people, I have no idea how many if any of them are still on FA though.
I also know some really nice people on SoS so you might look at that as an option.
TC has a really nice community, not quite as nice as before we got a bunch of SoR transfers but its still really friendly. There are also some great people on BG.
Don’t wright off T1 just because the PvFers on here claim its “nothing but zergs” or “crazy long queues” both are just false. At least on TC we barley get queues on reset night these days and even then we never have all maps queued.
They are only full at peak times, you can transfer to both late at night or early in the morning.
