Guild Wars 2

- maps and game design was not made take advantage of a megaserver system
- Overflows worked better than Megaserver yet overflow system was a pain when occurs.

i just hope that megaserver going to be dropped after some time, and this “test” and bring back the server division but with system w/o overflows.

i dont want to play with randoms from other servers… tks..

Its an " ok " defensive weapon i also use it on wvw.

Guardian -> Ritualist?
Spirit weapons haven’t been fixed for almost two years.

lol wait for guardian CDI Ç_Ç

thats a 3point score!

as funny as that is the other server quited the atack?

it is a mash up keys and DPS random fest, what the mob AI would do against the quantity of CC aplyed, besides getting CC’ed all the time?

Kurrilino.2706:

deear god no……………..

If we don’t need something it’s more Orr.
You guys must be out of mind. We are playing GW here not Zombie apocalypse.
We need more and new zones of pure beauty and fantasy.

I don’t wanna play Cyborg Wars in a world after nuclear fallout.

For god sakes………. extend the Caledon Forrest and finally open the Crystall Desert or the Deldrimor Front.

Indeed, if they reach nightfall map via LS we will get plenty of dreadfull zone already.

grifflyman.8102:

(…)

Can we expect to see anything?

What are your expectations for WvW?

Not expecting game to envolve towards wvw, unless they rework or bring something new to the game engine.

Squeeks.8496:

(…)

- porting within the same map is like gambling in the Mystic Forge (am I on same server or not?)
(…)

That sounds like more high end game content!

CptAurellian.9537:

How exactly is a projectile reflection supposed to work against a flamethrower?

its pve…. everything works more than should be :]

Mbelch.9028:

Junkpile.7439:

In war goal is outnumber enemy and kick their kitten. If enemy outnumber you it just mean that you got outplayed. Your idea would just help some lame guilds wipe bigger zergs even if they really aren’t skilled enough to do it.

This is illogical.

60 to 20. 20 ppl really got outplayed.

yet sometimes those 20 will win

Conditions on WvW are only to support damage and spike stress certain groups/players.

After being off the game for a month this is what i noticed and reinforced my opinion of the game.

GW2 mechanics and limitations was what made the game decline.

-Small maps where groups can cross it in 2 minutes, siege from keep to keep, full stacked blob vs small server(coverage).

-Keeps and castles are just AB shrines with walls after cap you leave to recap or going to recap other lost tower.

-Walls go down extreme fast, due reinforced wall is weaker than reinforced door.

-Many bugs where catas hit non “castle areas, as far away from wall” and will still it the wall, and will not mark the swords.

-IF exploits are being adressed or not.

-Autmaned and Queue sometimes gets borked up (not shure about this but had several strange numbers experiences in the past).

-Megaserver, harder to recruit or call army to BL.

-WvW was launched for casuals pvp for pve players

Also

Stagnation is killing WvW

(…)
WvW builds for each profession are mostly stagnant.

offtopic(non wvw content)
-Game model way to much “themeparked”, and thats very limited as its a closed box almost not allowing new implementations, it gets bored after some time (LS was a proff of that, as only gathered DPS mindless fest for obtain skin reward, story arc was almost irrevelent or confusing the way was introduced to the zerg blobs).

Why mobs drop weapons and armor at all, what if the drop was part of the materials to craft your own weapon, it would be still part of the mmo, and would make more sense of the crafting stuff that was built only to buy time in game.

There is not mandatory drop (loot )for mmo’s….

Longbow could be fun from cliff or tower sniping/troll :

Change Hunters shot for/or fuse it with Keen Arrow – Bow Attack. Deals ~350? damage. Deals + 50 more damage if you land a critical hit, target is knockdown if bloked.
(1000+ range, caster gets stealthed if do not moves after the skill. )

I dont play a ranger… other bow classes can be more efective.

@OP, EOTM = queensdale but with bags, this is how i see it, i rather ignored the keep and try to fight other group, thats how i see winning , if by chance after the fight keep is able to be taken thats an extra, also if your on a organized WvW group EOTM gets to easy after some time spent there.

Brando.1374:

OP means “i cant beat him/her with my build, Nerf them so I can beat them with my current build”

Also players tend to forget that game is balanced towards groups of 5 and not 1vs1 class.
At the state of the game how it is now (i dont play for like a month) in theory there is much less press buton to win wich difined the suposed OP buids belong to the past.

^Warrior.

GM Hermit.8629:

It’s needed, period

if your server dont have a WvW ts… make one

Celestina.2894:

Shall I hazard a guess at Wild Star being the game you tried?

In which case I will agree with all points.

Dear god is that game visually atrocious.

The cartooney-look…Yeah thats putting me off aswell,one of the major reasons im not even gonna bother,i seriously dislike that graphic style.Looks like a mix between WoW and that russian F2p game Allods.

Funny thing is, normally a cartoony look doesn’t bother me.

But Jesus Christ, Wild Star dropped one hell of a ball with their cartoony look.

Not to mention customization is depressingly bare bones.

Been there, didn’t liked tho way to much redundant , Archage was fine until a certain point, still have some qualities over gw2 except artwork (Anet artwok imo was what saved this game).

Gw2 problems is map and system loads if that could be adressed and resolved they could make almost the perfect mmorpg, and even stop this random overflow spawn called megaserver.

LordByron.8369:

If you think WWW board is unfriendly don t ever go in dungeon subsection…or even worse in BLTC section.

^This.

WvW is where the most friendly players are :], some just like more competition than others.

Just wait for guardian CDI final 2015 or 2016.

Amnariel.3659:

Guild Wars without Guild Wars,how ironic)

Actually thats what gw2 is about….

Siege timers would help WvW trolls.

There are several aspects that would need to be reworked (sige itself) if ANet raised siege timers.

Copyrights…..and other several tons of reasons…

Its not griefing, its called to interrupt enemy actions and objectives.

IF players dont want to be killed, Queensdale is open 24/7 i think.

Enemy actions? We’re talking about the PvE train in Queensdale, are you talking about EotM? Because that is a PvP zone and, yes I agree, any red nameplate is a fair target in PvP.

Right on ;D
My bad and was half reading other Thread.

Only agree with 7th suggestion to, looks alike a good add-on for commanders.

Pifil.5193:

Donutdude.9582:

I remember during my Far Shiverpeaks days that I would run a “counter-train” to the main train. I received a lot of positive comments and even gold via mail!

So you ran this counter train with the specific purpose of disrupting the main train?

I’m not surprised you received positive comments, lots of people who play MMOs seem to like this kind of “griefing” especially when they have some kind of objection to whatever activity is being disrupted.

Its not griefing, its called to interrupt enemy actions and objectives.

IF players dont want to be killed, Queensdale is open 24/7 i think.

Jeknar.6184:

Charak.9761:

..and we all just karma trained around the maps and just ignored all the zerg fights.

Then maybe, WvW would get the re-work it needs.

You described EotM…

Did EotM received any changes? No, right? So it won’t work…

Some servers already doing this in WvW….most of time is only on the last wvw day

Next time if a big karma zerg wants to avoid a organized guild, please jump from cliff.

Killface.1896:

No its to hard to take def T3 tower as it is…

Only if u are outnumbered and theres a ton of siege on the T3 keep….

I dont get this post?!

<———- WvW Trapper Ranger. Love em. Don’t change em. Seriously. Don’t. I’ll cut you.

I agree with this statement. I like my traps just the way they are.

I dont play a Ranger but i would love to have castles with corridors where rangers could set traps ^^ (more choke points) not that big empty area….

Lmao perfect!

Players need to notice wich players are easy to target with conditions, funny how gw2 players expect to kill everything with random spam or want everything instagibed…

More armors, more weapons i cant imagine what else……..

but if this game tends to get more like a korean/chinese mmo means game is being fixed!

based on?

Not being based on anything just stating my opinion, i am a casual player and i always prefered the “asiatic” machanics of mmo’s, i cant imagine chinese players being attracted by the dps blob fest on random overflow system playing with randoms while game was supposed to be divided trough servers (wich atm is how i see this game).

• Based on? * if i had to choose a game?
  One of the last games i tryed, as Ragnorok online (was on KRo and EuRo betas, and played for several years )
  -Game had huge quest lines do craft exclusive weapon (i imagined precursors would work on this way ).
  -Castles superior design on War of Emperium had several tactical places, inner paths, siege, and reward for holding the keep, and Archers/Snipers worked great lol"
  -No overflow systems :P
  -The game is still alive.

it’s also boring, generic, ugly, has a horrible battle system…..and i can go on.
and yes, i have played the game.

Indeed, thats where gw2 excells combat is pretty good compared with others but lacks on verything else.

We are still yet to experiment a good mmorpg.

Housing system needs to be on an instanced zone so only the player can access it , same way as guild halls on gw1 and EoTN HoM, it seems a little but futile.

As much i would love to see this working on gw2 set, i believe its not gona work, due game is way to much themepark.

Well – where the Guild Halls were in GW1, Orr is now. Can’t put the GH’s there. Yes they would have to be instanced, I believe.

Player housing is more difficult to deal with. You already have a home district, I think it more or less what player housing will be in this game.

Ah yes i do remember something i’ve readed about that, but having a district only to support a player and his house looks more like a offline game and mmoRPG’s should bring that into the world as a fancy showoff like the old ones, seems to me a great flaw in design , where an active and TRUE living and unified world could bring much more stuff to the BLT as house “garments” and more freedom to the game designers.

Can we make them 1 hit walls and gates too?

shuuuure why not? :]

Would you buy a guild wars 2 expansion for 20 bucks, if all it contained was a swimsuit wardrobe for your character?

maybe you should play The Sims instead of Guild Wars…

Wait, what this isn’t The Sims? Now I’m confused, I thought it was but just with killing and stuff….

You are safe, this is like a demo of the The Sims but with a fantasy set.

Edit; actually now thinking in old mmo’s compared with this one, this is really like a demo of the sims but u can do nothing besides spam 1111 (overall mechanics).

Most i find are classes that can make all skills several times in 2 seconds chain, most die to rataliation, but that deppends on class and build also.

So many Asuran engineers and none can repair a Golem or other siege.

Jeknar.6184:

The best anti finisher is: Don’t get downed

Or being down near a cliff when a team mate KB target “aka sparta style” from the cliff ;D

but if this game tends to get more like a korean/chinese mmo means game is being fixed!

get players with traveler runes on golems, problem solved.

hawsawi.3157:

Have you been under Sup AC fire yet ? metro shower ? oh wait..you talking about empty tower !!

A dolly can PVD that.

if a group cant take a tower due 2 or 3 sup carts means:

-the group is not used to play together
-1st time playing wvw
- group dont know how to caounter AC
- etc…

Housing system needs to be on an instanced zone so only the player can access it , same way as guild halls on gw1 and EoTN HoM, it seems a little but futile.

(…)

It’s pretty easy to gain levels and top-tier items in GW2 in comparison with other MMOs. You have no idea what a real “grind” is XD

I dont see myself getting a ascended weapon or armor if i want to use the best tier.

The mats and cashto reach it and craft that gear might be a pain, ill wait for ascended gear hit the laurel vendor in wvw….

They at least need a substitute for uncapped AoE.

You mean like this? http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Arrow_cart

No because that damage doesn’t scale. It hits 5 people as hard kitten. And its basically spamable.

ACs actually hit 50 people… Its on the tooltip. L2read.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/scale

Scale: a succession or progression of steps or degrees

AC’s do not scale in their damage. They hit one person with the same amount of damage as they hit 50.

L2comprehend

Edit. Granted Anets filter changed “It hits 5 people as hard as fifty” to “as hard as kitten”. But if you read my original post it should be clear.

Get a traited player on a superior AC.
