Guild Wars 2

Take away account wide gold find, and magic find by an extension of that logic. It discriminates against new players. Nodes in home instances? Also a no no. Unfair.

People still demanding that the game be made easier for them?
Some of us who’ve played since GW1 hit the streets feel the level requirements are just find. Well done anet.

No, this is a really bad idea. Because there’s only so much activity that can happen, you are basicly gonna lock points to the players that where lucky enough to be first. That’s not activity – that’s pure luck. If you cant cap a tower because the last enemy tower was just capped by a random group and the enemy goes “meh we aint gonna recap that for 10 minutes”, then what?

WvW is supposed to be about the gameplay mode. The war between 3 servers and how you strategically and tactically work your way around the battlefield, attacking and defending objectives so your server can win and fighting the enemies wherever they are.

This focus on pips is starting to get stupid.

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

Look at the party composition of this squad, notice anything about druids, thieves and warriors? – #notwanted – which is gross, anet should balance this, or make it so commanders cant kick

It’s the commander’s squad he started. That should be end of story. Make your own pick squad or something. Do you want to be included but despised for it? I wouldn’t.

Have a bunch of weak links/professions, you get 1 pushed. There are some amazing Druids and Teefs out there, and a few know how to round out a party with a proper non-selfish build, but then again you’re leaving out a proper zerg prof either way. And if you’re not multiclassing as a wvw/pvp player, you’re at a disadvantage to start. Because sometimes your only chosen prof will be trash for a few months prob. Maybe longer. Have a proper prof ready for what’s needed to round out your group. I don’t love playing healbot, but I put the time in leaning it so I can use it when my group needs one. Man, this “I want my participation trophy or riot!” type mentality I’ve seen here is saddening. That doesn’t work in gaming. Maybe in Lib arts college or in highschools out west. Not really in pvp style gaming. Incoming ban for truth incoming….

Edited to mention Druid’s Pets are an Epidemic Reaper’s best friend.

I love these "I’m a great wvw player so why oh why do I get kicked for playing a roaming class (ranger, thief, engi, mesmer). You are playing a roaming class. Go ROAM! If you really wanted to zerg, you would play a zerg class. Good commanders will allow crappy guardians into squad and kick amazing rangers, WHICH SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!

so much for play the game your way. I will rebut this by saying that I think its funny that anyone would take wvw seriously in 2017 when there are no rewards or anything gained really by getting rank 1 server at the end of the week.

Welcome to Burger Commander may I take your order.

So, you’d like to the BK Boons and a little stab on the side.

That will be one GREN class.

Hold the stab and boons… okay that will be ranger or thief pull forward.

TLDR: Have it your way but dont expect the cost to be other than market price.

My vote goes for;

shoes = rank 1000
gloves = rank 2000
helmet = rank 3000
shoulders = rank 4000
pants = rank 5000
chest = rank 6000

be happy that is is 2k for all .)

No /15characters

• Rangers have no burst damage or reliable cc in zerg fights
• Ranger pets get epid and kill their allied
• support/healer? Theres no boonshare, why would you play it over other classes?

Just wanted to say thank you to anet and the wvw team, this update is amazing in every way (except for the queues) haha but that’s a good thing, means wvw population is high

I appreciate the time and effort you put into this update and the warbringer is kittening AWSOME :P
I’m nowhere near the 2k rank (I’m only 764 rank ATM lol ) but sooner or later that armour is mine :p , never been so excited to play wvw now haha

The rewards are beautiful and the ticket/pip system is great and enjoyable. And I love the detail of the chests and the entire layout of everything.

So many people are complaining , pips are unfair, takes too long to get tickets, 2k is too high blah blah blah , these people who are complaining are upset cause the rewards arnt handed to them or there have to work for then. Also these people complaining about higher ranks getting more pips need to realise that it’s a thank you from anet for sticking with the game mode for all these years without proper attention.

So thank you anet I’m sure I’m Not the only one who is thankful and great full for all the work you done with this update and again that bloody backpiece is amazing :p
I WILL BE A FLAMING WAR TANK OF FURY, once I get it that is

Anet I’m behind you.

Don’t cave.

There’s a lot like us out here that feel the same way.

Things that come too easily are soon forgotten. It’s not a grind, it’s a challenge — and if you really want the new item, you’ll put in the time.

Nobody NEEDS the new shiny to play. It’s a choice. Invest the time or not.

Its a grind on par or worse then the most grindy Korean mmos out there. I play gw2 because it isn’t that Grindy, but apparently with this, now it is. If rank was based on winning zerg vs zerg, or winning in havoc groups or scouting I would say yes this is a reward based on wvw dedication. But it’s not, the best way to rank up is pvd which is achieved by eotm which isn’t even wvw. So why do you care if the req Is lowered? It’s not a reflection of your commitment to the game mode anyway it’s just a horribly egregious grind.

It’s even further cheapened by the fact that people exploited eotm when it launched to gain rank 2000-5000 in a mere month which Anet let them keep, which was fine because there were no rewards at the time gated behind high rank, just titles which only enemy players on other servers can see. So don’t act like your commitment to wvw is really reflected by rank.

Do you need the new shinies to play the game?

Does not having them give you a massive disadvantage over those that do?

For the record, I haven’t even cracked 1,000 in rank after four years, and I still stand behind Anet doing this.

Oh and I run mostly exotics, lol.

And I can still beat you.

you are already rewarded more than most will have the time to earn, simply be reaching the end of the non repeatable diamond chest. Stop QQing for greater class divides between old guard and new wvwers. You’ll just neuter any incentives to get into the game mode with too big of an uphill struggle to get reasonable rewards for time investment. WvW is part of a video game, stop expecting people to treat it like a full time job in the military.

The basic duties of the solo roamer(s) and Small-man teams:
- Be the eyes of the map’s Commander in locations where their zerg is not present.
- Take any and all enemy camps in your vicinity to disrupt enemy supply tains.
- If possible, pick off stragglers or even cut the tail off of the enemy’s zerg. This can sometimes be done simply by running by and causing the less dedicated followers to squirrel after you.
- Kill any and all enemy Dolyaks in your vicinity. Again to disrupt supply chains and delay keep/tower upgrades.
- Reclaim lost friendly camps. To maintain your own flow of supply.
- Eliminate any enemy players that are a threat to said supply flow.

If you think the above is “useless,” then I can’t vouch for your rationality nor reasoning lol. And almost none of these things really requires the use of a Teamspeak.

Terrible Idea, No.

Huttunen.8309:

I’ve got over 2k tomes, it’s not a good idea

Same, but it would get me from Mithril Knight to Diamond Major really fast.

I dont think thats a very good idea tbh, yes there needs to be a way to get rid of them other than lvling alts but free ranks is not the way.

Vavume.8065:

Liston.9708:

no pips in spawn…..

This is a brilliant idea, this is a must at this point, all I see now is 10+ people afk at spawn at all times just leaching pips and reward tracks. Like you said while in spawn (Invunerable) you should receive no pips or reward tracks progress. Anet please implement this asap.

And what happens when I respawn after dying just as the tick timer hits zero? I guess everytime I die I have to check the timer and lay there if it’s close to zero just so I can get my pips?

You people are getting ridiculous.

He may have called legendary owners selfish

When you start out by throwing stones at people minding their own business, you don’t get to act like the victim when someone throws a stone back.

I don’t care about this subject one way or another but it seems like the OP is asking for a means to control the fx on his own machine, which is a common request here. He may have called legendary owners selfish but I don’t see him actually demanding they stop carrying legendaries. In fact, the scant few lines he’s written don’t amount to much and the ire he’s getting seems a little out of proportion. It may be time to take a breath and calm down.

Anet recently added an option to control the audio on other player’s backpacks. If they were to consider this, they would almost certainly make it a visual option each player can choose for themselves.

I’ve paid a whopping penny and a half per hour for my gw2 experience thus far. If another fifty bucks for another expansion bumps that up over two cents per hour, I suppose I’ll just have to find a way to bear it :p

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

I just pulled numbers out of the air here, but that’s the idea people are going for.

Yes, that would be a nice idea, and one can only hope regarding the fact that there was no such payment model for expac 1.

I agree, there is no harm in hoping.

That said, I also don’t (personally) have an issue paying $50 for the next xpac either, if it garners my interest.

Why is there an expectation for the expansion to be discounted?

My prediction: they’ll offer the game at a single price for everyone, veterans who pre-order will get a skin + character slot, veterans who order after launch will get the skin, and the base price will be less than $US50. I further predict that regardless of what they do, the forums will be filled with complaints about the costs.

I see the possibilities as:

• Offer the expac at the same price to everyone. This is what they did for HoT and everything they’ve said since suggests they favor this model.
• Offer the expac at a minor discount to existing owners. Based on the number of posts on this topic (and the umbrage, both hyperbolic and reasoned), I’m sure they are reconsidering this.
• Offer an extra character slot or other account bonus for veterans. They did this for HoT pre-orders (after some kicking & screaming by owners). It seems likely that they do that again, without waiting for the kicks|screams.
• Offer the expac at a lower base price than in the past. The core game launched at US$60 & HoT @US$50, so maybe they’d try US$40.

That’s a safe bet if ever I saw one!

Regarding maybe giving a free character slot – since I doubt we’re getting a new class or race, I really don’t think a character slot is very likely as there’s (I believe) not going to be something new to immediately fill it with.

all those ascended rewards and you choose salty

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/No-Loyalty-Bonus
Everyone is starting at ground zero to get the loyalty perk we have to have 100 pips for three weeks. Then we start getting the bonus but you must keep reaching the 100 pip a week if you don’t anet deems you not loyal. You then have to restart over getting 100 pips for three weeks

That post says ACTIVE not TRANSFERRED.

The question is a good one… Three weeks from what?

The answer is this ‘requirement’ should have been told to players in an email to ALL players so they wouldn’t have this issue but hey, this is Anet we’re talking about…

It’s baloney… and it is yet another thing that players will give as a reason never to play WvW again.

Loyalty isn’t ‘from three weeks ago’, loyalty is a server that isn’t being abused by links and queues.

LOL seriously?! Players are going never going to play again because they have to wait to get a reward that they were never getting before? WvW players have been playing for years without these rewards. Sounds like the bandwagons wheels are starting to wobble a bit.
