Guild Wars 2

@Radiology, that’s what happened. I logged in, went to a borderland, saw 15+ people camping at the 3 closest Bloodlust objects, all with +150, and said, “Screw that”. And I went and sanded a bathroom wall because that was more satisfying.

It will be even harder than it was previously to gather enough momentum to push back. Log in, look at orb icons, “oh, we’re getting destroyed. Ain’t nobody got time for that”. -click- logout.

They give outmanned buff to make you go out and fight without worrying about repairs, but at the same time they make your zergy opponent stronger with the bloodlust buff so that you can’t even have a fight to start with.

Only monkeys can understand Anet way of thinking.

Thanks arenanet, now is more challenging to recover our BD every morning from the night zergs of the most populated servers. Is to challenging to fight vs more enemies buffed with 150 to all stats.

Every morning few of us fight vs a lot of them to recover early our keeps and towers, that happen to us, and that happen to our enemies when we are the most populated server in the match, now is more exiting! Recovering camps and fight 2vs5, 1vs2 buffed enemies is great. I am not talking only for my server, i am talking from the low populated one in the match.

-Congrats to the design team, the map is awesome, really good job, you really understand the roamer player.

-For the develop team who approved this stats buff…. no words for you.

Definitively this dont encourage players to fight back.

The fact that Devon responded to this post, were the OP looks extremely happy about patch (compared to rest of forums) is beyond hilarious.

Make it the one last place where we can 1v1, 2v2 or GvG. The dueling scene exists weather you like it or not. The least you can do is respect our wishes.

(inb4 go to spvp comments) Most of us hate spvp and going there looking like a lvl 1 character after all we have been through leveling our characters and wearing our hard-earned exotics. Also, no stat-customization, no racials…. and the ease of creating a max-character in 2 minutes creates the obnoxious FOTM mentality that plagues the spvp community.

Easily fixable, once a keep, tower, or garrison is taken over, all enemies are immediately ported out back to their home base.

Though some like the idea on thinking it’s a strategy and that’s what’s sweeping is for.. realistically it’s just a complete waste of time. Time cannot be replaced, don’t waste it, just send the enemies out of the structure back to their own base and allow them to regroup from there.

OP

as usual, the thieves are not exploit, they are Perma-Stealth theives.

I have thief players in my guilds who can Perma-Stealth 5min+, some even can Perm-Stealth up to 15 minutes.

OP
I had almost the same experience like yours and guess what, when i posted the thread about, all thieves except 2 said that it was an exploit.

I hope this help support your experience.

You are not alone Op.

With 1 year+ gw2 Anniversary, Perma-Stealth Thieves are still controling and abusing wvw.

Yes,

Arena.net know about it!

and they Don’t Care!

Last week I was roaming with one of my guildmates and we were taking a sentry when a perma stealth thief rocks up. S/he wasn’t doing that much damage to us but was clearly taking delight in remaining out of stealth juuuust long enough to stop the sentry cap again and again and again. I noticed that I had a stealth trap and 10 supply on me so I thought, “why not?” While my guildie was keeping the thief busy I placed the trap in the middle of the cap circle and then stood on it and waited for the thief to go after me. S/he did and then couldn’t stealth and was very quickly killed.

Being able to counter troll a troll? Effing priceless.

They should focus on WvW being an esport. Why satisfy 5 player teams when you can have more fun with 100.

^ This

Pvp is not a “dead” game mode

lol

6 of us at a camp …. 40 deso came
6 of us at a tower …. 40 deso came

blob blob blob
go blob yourself.

as does the reverse happen
anyone who complains of another server ‘blobbing’ in this thread is an idiot (ive seen all three servers with big blobs)

it is true that every server has its own blob, the problem is when a server has nothing else, and when that blob has nothing better to do than chase after 1 guild group…

We had 2 weeks with desolation and I hope we won’t see it anymore.
It’s not fun to find only blobs and see ppl running when they outnumber you just a little bit.

Few decent players, but too few compared to mindless blobbers.

WvW was never advertised to be a hardcore game mode. It has always been stated to be a casual part of the game where people can log in and do stuff when the feel like it.

As he said:

I don’t GvG and don’t follow it at all. What I thought was interesting and disturbing was how (he claims) Anet looks at the WvW game mode. I feel that should be a valid topic of discussion.

That’s the matter.

Ross Biddle.2367:

I don’t give a kitten about Red Guard, nor do I see why their opinions matter any more than even the least of any servers militia men, or a dev actually working on the game.

So they made a youtube marking their take of WvW progression. So what.

WvW is probably going to die if we just keep getting ignored. They expected it to be a casual game, which explains why WvW has so many faults and is far from a complete playstyle.

I don’t give a kitten about what you think about Red Guard, but don’t YOU have concerns about WvW? Population mismatches, the lack of beta testing, the return of the orb and blood lust isles bias towards overpopulated servers? And how all this will cripple GvG, the last real organized form of PvP people even care about at the moment? If not you, then look at the rest of the WvW thread because there are TONS of other people who DO want answers.

Yes his video was…eye opening indeed.

I specifically want to hear about why a select group of spvp players are the ones crafting the experience of the multitude. Early access to build/profession changes etc. Its as if anet wants to artificially create superstars for their esports league.

I’m not surprised at all most of them managed to get on the same team in solo q when it came out. Need to make top of those leaderboards. Get the name out there.

Oh well.

lordkrall.7241:

WvW is supposed to be WvW, not GvG, this have been stated by ArenaNet several times, and thus GvG in WvW won’t be supported.

Get out of your heads the GvG.

Listen to the vid. GvG is just the tip of the iceberg.

What Sacrx say is that every single problem of WvW that we had at launch and still now after 12 months has been reported multiple times by them more than 6 months before launch and has been ignored because in talks with Devs they said quite clearly “WvW will be extra causal has no value and we’ll take care only of Spvp cause it will be esport”. And that’s just the first thing from alpha that he unveils, because the rest of the vid goes on with that kind of news.

That is the matter.

The only thing that will happen will be a ton of deleted threads as they try to dodge the issue.

Someone on my server said there was a statement somewere here on the forums were the Anet devs stated that they do NOT support what we call GvG, but they might, just maaaaybe make what they call 8v8 deathmatch, as u had in GW1 based on the sPvP system. Just the complete opposite of what many in the community actually want….
Talk about listening to the community……

I agree with you, would love to hear from Anet, and I don’t wanna ear more excuses

I know people have been banned for posting the link, I’m sure plenty of you can find his youtube channel and the video he posted 9/12/13 on the progression (or lack of) in GW2 in terms of WvW and GvG.

Sacrx, and moreso Red Guard, is a guild held in high regard to the community and so their opinions on the game DO matter very much. I myself, being heavily invested in WvW, and currently interested in the growth of GvG, am HIGHLY concerned about the state and future of WvW and GvG because someone who knows so much about the game has pretty much been ignored.

If I get banned for mentioning it, so be it, but I believe it is in the large interest of the WvW community to hear an official response from Anet. I believe many WvWers are playing in belief that you guys are serious about this aspect of the game, but if we are just being funneled to sPvP for Anets dream of an esport, then I’m wasting my time in hopes of progress, and will sadly take my leave.

Wont happen, they stated it many times. Reasoning? None.

I agree with you but giving ideas to A-net is like trying to push a ping pong ball through a brick wall, though they will deny it every time. Your time would be better spent somewhere else I’m afraid.
