Guild Wars 2

Well I never got in on the keys. By the time I heard about it she was shut down. I would like to stock up on a few of the 250 salvage kits tho when she comes back around so I’m glad about that. Wish they would have left the keys but doubled or tripled the price of them so they weren’t cheaper than buying with gems. Also left her permanently, even if they put a cap on how many commendations you could get in the lifetime of your account.

Last night I killed 3 different Champions durring my play time (in Cursed Shore) and not one of them dropped loot like they are supposed to be garanteed to

I have also seen champions not drop loot still. As far as the increased drop rates on rare and exotics I haven’t noticed a difference either but then again it was probably such a minimal increase that nobody will notice it.

I’ve been getting the same error since the patch earlier. I completely relogged several times and finally got it working. Then a notice came up for another build. Patched again and now no matter how many times I relog I can’t get it to work again. Error: Invalid Authorization is all I get.

I’m sure this has probably been suggested and maybe off topic but if they want to make money off of WvW then why not make some armor and weapon skins that can only be used in WvW (purchasable via gems). A few suggestions to make WvW have more repeat value are make EB larger, maybe make 3 new smaller maps that fall outside EB but between the borderlands maps and are like 1v1 maps and only the 2 servers whos borderlands they are between can battle on. Also they could add some dynamic events that happen in maps that give you the orb buff if your server is the one who completes it first on that map (now that orbs are gone) but only make it happen a few times a day and the buff only last like an hour.

This is a definite improvement, but not a fix. I understand that it doesn’t make sense to take away the free transfers until you have the guesting feature up and working. I personally think that free transfers should be limited to 1 free transfer every 6 months. After that make people pay in cash or gems for another transfer before their next free transfer is available. Also put a 3-7 day ban on WvW after a transfer.

For the average person the latency issue probably doesn’t matter. But some someone who already has a latency issue connecting to a server that is relatively near might not be able to connect well enough if they have to connect to a server in another country for WvW. I understand why arena net did what they did with the servers. I do think it is broken system though and they need to figure out a way to fix it.

I think the removal of orange swords is going to make WvW unappealing to the general server population that doesn’t WvW very often. For some of the high tier servers this might be a good thing but for most servers this will drive away half of the players they have in WvW and they can’t afford that. The servers who don’t have a lot of people in WvW most parts of the day need it to be more appealing to the general population so more people will play and get into it. Yes pugs don’t know a lot and usually just run mindless in a zerg, but some of them learn to like it and then join WvW guilds and learn tactics and how to WvW better. Why would you want to drive away new recruits?

@Littlefeather I’ve been involved in 4 man teams who ninja towers in our last match against Darkhaven (Yaks player). Where was ur 2 man push on us then?

The swords are a good thing. As has been stated by a few other people they can be used to your advantage. You can have a group or groups go places and draw sword to try to to get enemy to go there and then attack something else. Or you can ninja camps, towers, or even a keep at times without drawing swords. And the people that say but it still gets contested. Someone can pull a mob too close to a location and it will become contested. Or their are camps/keeps that mobs attack on a regular basis that makes them contested so just because something is contested doesn’t mean something is going on there. The swords are an asset you use to your advantage not cry about.

In my opinion nothing suggested in this thread would stop zerging. I did see one thing I agree with and that is downed state should be removed from WvW. They could even give everyone a small HP bump to make up for the fact of removing downed state.

Complaining about portals and theifs stealth (other threads) and saying they need to be nerfed is not the problem. No skill should be nerfed because of a rendering bug in the game. The bug is the issue and should be fixed. Untill that bug is fixed you can’t say a skill that might or might not be effected by that bug is OP. Once the bug is fixed and if there are still issues then maybe it should be nerfed in some way. I think limiting it to 5 people is way too drastic. If you going to do that you might as well just take the skill away. And to the mesmers that say it is a must to have on your bar. No it isn’t. It is situational and you equip it when it is needed. I do this with different skills on all my classes not just my mesmer. I personally don’t think portals and portal bombing is that big of deal. A well organized group of people can turn a portal bomb into a wipe of all who come thru the portal.

u could leave the orbs but remove the buff. then they would just be for bragging rights basically

I’ve been on yaks since the preorder launch. I have to say that Seeing what our WvW community has developed into I couldn’t have asked for more as far as the community goes. Like the opening post has stated we have that weakness in our oceanic/asian times. We just need some more WvW force in those time zones.
