I wish Auto Loot actually worked like the name suggests. : (
i may not be the first to mention this, just started doing it really like today.
So uhm, the bags…i’m wanting to concentrate on fighting enemy players but i also have to look for the random spawning bags (by random i mean where they are placed around me) and i find it distracting and annoying.
Would it not be easier to just let the pvp insignias be a normal currency you simply earn for kills, like karma for example..instead of a tangible item in your bag? Atleast then, i could ignore the bags assuming i dont care about random vendor junk etc.
Your feedback is important to us. Please stay on the forums and your concerns will be addressed by the next available dev. :P
I’m glad to be making WvW better and while I’m the face of the team to you guys, don’t forget all the hard work from everyone else on the team. I’d be doing nothing without them.
Communication is always a good thing!

I just want to take a moment to say thanks. The amount of communication you have with the WvW community is inspiring and I assure you we are ALL grateful. It’s pretty rare to see a member of the development team spend so much time working with us and tackling issues of all sizes. I am extremely excited to see how WvW changes in the months to come.
TL,DR; We appreciate you, Devon Carver. Thanks for all the dedication, communciation and transparency!
Not sure if anyone else is seeing this but almost every single game, the losing team seems to lose half there team so they don’t take rank hit…
This is going to unbalance the leaderboard in a big way…
Anet please make it so if you leave the game you get a loss or players will abuse it over and over.
There will be people with 100% wins.

Why isn’t this possible?
If you use a race change, it erases your personal story, so you start over from the beginning. During the race change, you select your new storyline (just like making a new character). You keep your level, your trait points, and your skill points. You have to unlock your utilities and elites, along with your weapon skills.
I guess the only issue I could see is cultural armor. You could require the hero to not be wearing any armor during the race change.
the skin from the Cultist-Hammer from the cliffside fractal would be a really really nice skin for a hammer. maybe a new legendary hammer?
So we’re never going to see “Super” versions of the weapons that didn’t receive skins? It’s going to be a whole new set next time?
I don’t know how you got that out of what I said. We will certainly (as much certainty as the continuation of SAB) be making at least one Super Skin for every weapon in the game. But in order to make each release somewhat special I’m pretty sure we are going to retire the current set after April. I don’t think we will have the same set of Super Skins at our next release. Does that make sense? Overall, we have a very solid plan for everything we’re doing INSIDE the SAB, but haven’t planned out everything surrounding it, the rewards, and all that kind of stuff yet. One thing we learned in this release is to make sure we schedule more time for planning and building the reward side of things.
Josh, could you clarify this a bit more?
Not really. I’m not at work this week, and I didn’t make the plans for rewards and how and when they are distributed. I’m going off a memory of a conversation we had during the last week of production which was very hectic. Someone knows all the details, but I don’t.
In that case when do we PvE thieves get our 3s revealed debuff back?
Maybe so. We’re debating it.
If it’s a PvE change, it will be absurd in WvW, where thieves are already one of the strongest if not the most popular class for roaming.
I think it’s time to change the WvW ruleset to share spvp limitations, like a hard cap on crit damage bonus at 60% and using the spvp formula for confusion, which is pretty broken against players with the PvE one.
Badly formatted blogpost, but give it a read and offer feedback, thanks.

Great idea, buggy as kitten.

I agree. I don’t like having to hammer the F key in the middle of a battle just to make sure I get my loot.
Yes I know bags drop at your feet but most of the time you are moving around the map pushing back or being pushed by zerg waves. It’s fine when you are on a keep wall picking off the attackers but the system isn’t very good when you are out fighting.
Sorry if someone else has mentioned this. The titles should be tiered. Most every title in the game would benefit from tiering like in GW1. Have 10-15 levels to a title, so that anyone can have some form of it. But the more extreme players can reach the “unreachable” tier that everyone else thinks will take years to complete. Just like the titles in guild wars 1 (especially the PvP ones, after many people spent years grinding PvP, only a few people reached the highest tier of the titles).
This^^
A straight kill-numbers title is unfair to players on low pop servers. I just adds yet another reason to transfer.
Not a lot of thought went into this Anet.

People running mass Aoe builds that do nothing but zerg v zerg will get tons of kills
Just add this to the list of things that make Zerging the most important skill in WvW.
It was 2 vs 20 but its ok we got’em both!
Hey guys! We’ve definitely gotten feedback on which weapons need cooler skins. We’re working hard on getting those super-awesome skins that you’re describing and waiting for. We’ve already started releasing less-prominent-weapon skins in a few of our recent releases.
We do make some skins for certain weapons more often because those weapons are used by multiple professions or the profession that uses them is very popular. We’ll keep in mind your feedback, as I think it is very valid.Thanks for playing, and for caring!
I think you guys should do the opposite. Instead of giving all the love to the popular classes and leaving unpopular class in dark and crying in corner and finally no one play them. Release awesome weapons for those low populated professions so more will roll them.
Same thing with skill balances.
So you guys know, we already split some skills. And, what’s most pertinent to the current thread, we plan to do this even more.
When we first shipped, it was awesome to have a lot of the balance be the same between PvE/WvW/PvP. But, as you guys have really started to push the game types to their limits, classes and specs that work in one areas of the game are sometimes ineffectual in others.
Due to this, we’ll have to do more splitting of skills to better balance the various areas of the game.
TL:DR – We already do this, and we’ll be using it even more in order to balance the different areas of the game effectively.

ANet moves in mysterious ways, their wonders to perform. After seeing numerous threads asking for more armor skins, their artists get together to make, TADA, town clothes and zero armor skins.
I think everyone hates the Dredge.
They multiply in droves, have above average health pools, stack protection and might, have a multi hit ranged attack and immunity to blind.
They also have the most annoying voice in game
Gah! I hate the dredge ;-(
edit: also butt ugly!
edit 2: also that daze >.<

TC has the same requests on mapchat. Just ignore them. No need to be a smartypants about it.
But I play an Asura.

Hey guys, I’ve been struggling with something and wanted to get some feedback.
I’m on Sanctum of Rall and we’re pretty good about calling events, especially in low-level zones. Most people, when near an event that’s starting, will name it in mapchat. A good number of folks even include nearby waypoints. This is great!
What irritates me are all the requests for events. There are CONSTANTLY people asking “Events?” “Any events?” “Need events, any up?” If you stop for a moment and look at mapchat, you’d see that people are calling them…
My assumption is that these people are asking for events the moment they enter the zone because OMGZ need 2 do dailiez @ max speed and get back to CoF1!!!! so I usually gently harass them. Something like…
Them: Events…?
Me: …are being called as they start right here on mapchat.
Them: Any events?
Me: Yes. All over. Constantly. Wait 30 seconds.
I’ve done this a few times and been called many different not-so-friendly names for this and gotten precious little support in my direction. So here are my questions…
1) I know I’m being a bit of a jerk, that’s intentional, but am I wrong here?
2) What is Queensdale like on your server? I assume it’s kind of the same thing everywhere?

We are working on adding more info to these leaderboards right now and the first area we are intending to get to is displaying WvW rank data. I would like to see us get some guild specific info as well, but the first step is the individual info. The suggestions here are also areas we’ll likely look into, if they are feasible.
We know you guys are working on alot of this stuff, but lets be honest you could be a bit more involved with the wvw community. This would be one way of doing it. Make a pinned thread asking for wvw suggestions…ideas…what we would like to see. We play wvw way more then you guys so it would only make sense to reach out to us on ideas. I mean even asking some of the major hardcore wvw guilds out there for ideas would be awesome.
If you are planning on adding more stuff to the leader boards and WvW in general this would be a great way to start out and I’m not talking just a pinned thread where you sometimes post. I mean a thread where you guys actively post and communicate with us asking us about ideas we have, explaining why you can’t do certain ideas or won’t do them.

I have 20+ alts. Your solution wouldn’t even phase me.
Instead, it was the fact I get bored farming.
Have a nice day!
But here’s my body – So rez me maybe?
Or easy solution. Limit the rewards to at least level 10+?
Have you considered that your money woes come from overspending rather than under-earning?
