Guild Wars 2

MarMaster.6241:

Changing the stacking stat buffs was already requested for removal, but you know Anet knows best.
+150 power/vitality/crit/healing power/etc cannot possibly be unbalancing if everybody on your server has it.
All you need is the most coverage, and you can faceroll the other servers.
Perhaps Anet might consider having a public test server.

Anet does not care about WvW!
they only care about their Spvp Esport which blows. that should have been enough for us to see that this game will never be what we thought it could be.

WvW was just ruined
Spvp/Tpvp is just bad

Time to just Pve while I find another game to play.

well if the orbs kill GvG I will most likely go try that game out on my PS3.

O no I have a game for us to play kakarot…..a great game indeed

Oh really?
what game would that be?

It is doomed, but only if you read the forums. Everyone else is in que.

What queue?

he must be in a T1 server where they only care about PPT.

Prime.8792:

It’s obvious that collusion is the only option for the lower tier servers. Seriously though, how often does the 2 weaker servers ever gang up on the strongest server?

Do they even organize? Or is it going to be like 2 babies fighting an adult?

On the other hand, if the weak servers don’t put in the effort in communicating and organizing, then they deserve to lose.

That’s how I see it.

On paper this sounds like a good plan.
In reality the server with the higher population will still win because they will be able to cover all maps while the other 2 might be able to cover 2 at the most.

I think that if people started limiting the matches to 8v8 I might be more interested in the GvG scene. The 15v15 and 20v20 videos are hard to watch, I have very little idea of who’s doing what or why.

8v8 while it does sound great does not fit with the GvG guilds as we are WvW guild with 30+ members. this will leave a lot just standing round doing nothing.

I think 15 is the sweet spot for GvG’s since most guild can field 15 and we can have a range of group comps and builds involved.

as for not knowing whats going on, that takes time and practice to notice as I think the pace of a GvG is much faster than a Tpvp match.

DevonCarver.5370:

Season 1 is going forward as we described, however nothing about future seasons is set in stone. We’ll take a look at the data we get from the first season and will absolutely make adjustments so that future seasons are even better than the first one.

My concern with four leagues is simply that there isn’t enough variety at that point. I could very well be wrong, but we are going to try season 1 this way and then we’ll take a look at how it played out.

http://mos.millenium.org/servers/history/44

Look at this.
Ebay has faced server ranked up to 5 and when we did we got smashed in PPT by double the score.
I cant wait to see what will happen when we face a T1 server triple digit PPT win for them?

as for match diversity, as long as its not a 13 week same 2 servers fighting I doubt many will have a problem.

let us change the stats per item to fully be able to modify our builds how we see fit. Just like in Pve/WvW

the amulet system will never allow for any build diversity since you will be very limited on your choices.

Fight club at mag windmill

this is a nerf to all conditions that cant stack to 25.

ahuba.6430:

Lol some people think GvG has more esport potential than conquest kk

Lol conquest has been here for over a year and what does it have to show for it...... a petting zoo hahaha

Gvg is popular and is building up fast. anet should capitalize on it instead of being stubborn and sticking with what they think works.

ahuba.6430:

are people seriously asking for 10v10 and 15v15? Lol? Less is more, the less people playing vs eachother the more enjoyable the combat (down to a number of 3)

if you want the current gw2 GvG crowd to come in and save whatever esport hope this game has yes make it at least 15v15

simple question.

for me personalty I want to be able to stat and gear up my character just like I would in WvW. No limitations on what I can do or how to play my class.
2nd thing for me to spvp would be a Team DM mode or even a Capture the flag mode to make things fun instead of just being in a node longer.

what would you guys that actively GvG require to go to Spvp?

Corian.4068:

The “deathmatch” mode needs to have objectives. What objectives? Dunno. But it needs to have them.

All a deathmatch mode would do is send five times as many people to these forums to complain about class balance because of the people running mobile/stealth 1v1 builds.

ok let me change it up. TEAM deathmatch. like we currently have with GvG’s
if they add a solo DM then thats on anet.

#1 no build diversity. solution: get rid of the amulet system you have in spvp and allow the players to pick and choose what gear they wish to wear just like we have it in WvW.
Benifit of this? the GvG crowd might now be interested in showing up and boosting this games hopes of ever being Esport.

#2 game mode Not game modes since you only have the crap conquest mode with to be honest sucks donkey balls. dont add a king of the hill because its conquest with 1 node.... boring
add DM or a capture the flag mode. the GvG crowd will love the option to have some TDM vs other guilds BUT ONLY if #1 is already in place. without it nothing will work.

I would love a DM mode.

just get rid of the amulets and let us gear out characters with all stats available like in wvw. I can assure you this will bring the GvG crowd in to your spvp

Finally out of my 1 day forum ban.

Just want to say, Agg it was a fun fight and I hope we meet again and duke it out.

Why isnt the Official score up yet on the site?

Im asking because the Ark vs GF was up withing a few min.

so who is looking forward to tonight’s match??

hmm. I really liked that vid.

Played a little tonight. Remembered why I hadn’t all week – there is nothing impressive out there. Some group from BP – Borlis Savers guild – actually sat on a wall for ten solid minutes and refused a duel. Other players are downright disappointing.

Do not come on forums complaining no one will dual you. That is utter childish. You can not force anyone to dual you. If you want to dual, go fight the 1s near windmill or wherever dualing takes place or go into Spvp. WvW is meant for groups to fight each other. I haven’t stepped in wvw much this week because of Maguuma server, Don’t like that server at all since I have seen nothing but bad sportmanship from them. I do not know if you are mag or ebay but Mag can’t seem to fight 1v1 anyway. From roaming for daily I seen mag run from me only to come back with a group of 5+ following just to kill one player. I hear that alot from other people that Maguuma can’t fight alone, but you do not see me coming onto forums and posting ridiculous posts like that. I just go opposite way and finish my daily then leave.

Every single night we have to resort to breaking down keep walls to even get BP/EBay to play. Yesterday night, we ended up cataing down NWT on BP BL to try and get some action. Then we skirmished for 15 minutes or so (during which one of our members got PMs saying that apparently we were trash who could “only move really well together” but “had no damage,” except we kept insta-downing people who got caught in our bombs? idk), and then moved on to open-field trebbing down garrison to see if we could get people to come play. BP dropped a counter-treb inside garri and disappeared. Yawn.

Only good fight we got last night was at Golanta where EBay kept res-rushing and snuck behind us to build ACs in the camp. EBay building open-field siege? Blasphemy! Don’t get me wrong, it was a ton of fun and lasted for 20 minutes or so without any interference on our side (a rare occurrence), but the amount of siege being built to try and wipe us was both unsurprising and sad.

Don’t even get me started that there’s only one guild on all of EBay and BP who offered to GvG.

Such a fun matchup.

we had to deal with BP tower hugging for 13 weeks.
1 week is nothing lol

UrMom.4205:

i’d rather be the underdog against a strong server than be the underdog with the only option of capping the orbs while the stronger server is sleeping.

stronger server will have the population to have people at all hours so that really wont help.

Boonprot.6274:

The reason why groups stack is to reach the AoE cap and reduce damage. It’s also important to do mid-fight to “reset” the fight. What I mean by this, is that the regrouping allows everyone to heal up to full HP via water field blasts and gain almost full stacks of might via empower. In a sense, it returns your party to the condition it was in before the fight even started.

Regardless of it’s many benefits, stacking makes for boring meta, it is greatly over used, often at the expense of momentum and positioning, and in my opinion is used more as a crutch for bad positioning and movement, than its tactical advantages.

Lastly, people need to understand that there is a very big difference between a hammer train and a balanced comp. The fact that 4 warriors use hammers in a 15-man comp doesn’t make it a hammer train. Not even close, to be honest.

So over 26% of the group is using hammers, but that isn’t a hammer train? Where is the magical cut off, 80%? You are taking the term too literally anyway, it is more about the heavy defense ball formation with hammers, at 4 I would argue the number of hammers is irrelevant as far as the label goes.

Do you even follow this “meta”? In NA at least? Hammer trains are being beaten every week now, just last night us vs GF, last week AGG vs EP and a few weeks before that. Nobody cares if you think “stacking” is boring, it’s effective and EVERYBODY does some sort of it.

As with any other competitive game, metas will shift and change all the time, so there’s literally no point in complaining about one of them.

makes me wonder why the meta hasn’t actually shifted yet

well because “hammer Train” can win.
we did loose 2 rounds last night

Xavi.6591:

What’s your crit %?

If I remember correctly im around 33%
But I dont use sigil of earth on any weps so I could really care less about my crit rate since I can stack bleeds pretty fast other ways

currently I have full Dire gear with scavaging runes.
and a 1 Dire/rabid ascended item and the rest is full rabid.

I run with around 23-24k hp 1990 condi dmg with my s/d (sigil of bursting) and close to 2800 armor.

I am a tank in wvw, im just waiting to get full Dire/Rabid items to reach the full potential I thing it has.

Disturbed.4685:

i had to delete my recording of the GF fight, too choppy, lots of upload/bandwidth problems on my part throughout the GvG, we will have another perspective uploaded shortly…
[GF] 4-2 [Ark]
good fight ark, our toughest so far… with more experience you will climb the leaderboards…

they are already #9 for the month

Good Fights Ark, you really pushed us hard.

im a tank with high condi dmg…. I like it.
not fully set up though but so far I can get 155 bleed ticks with stacks then swaping to a dagger with sigil of bursting.

Wow….. sooo out of touch with the WvW community.
well might as well enjoy wvw while its still good.

I think it would be a great idea.

yes it has always been 15 seconds.
for Pve I would take Hemophilia
pvp/wvw weakening shroud.

“If you do not have the ppl to hold these points then maybe your server is not good enough”

so your saying that if our servers zerg isnt at big as yours we are not good enough….. makes perfect sense.

NeHoMaR.9812:

Actually I don’t want people do GvG on WvW maps. I prefer that good guilds in T1 servers (the servers I play).

But, at the same time, I like the idea of GvG, I think is good some guilds want to fight. ArenaNet could add “custom arenas” for this and problem solved. Actually only one arena would be enough, not need for fancy graphics or anything, just an arena like sPvP ones but with an open field and no capture points, 20vs20 (configurable). // I don’t GvG, just improvising.

I think this is what most GvG guilds want, but until we get that WvW will have to do.

since I already have incinerator on my necro ill go for the staff

Interesting build. not my style but im a bit stubborn to change what works for me lol

I changed my gear from Rabid to Dire in wvw ( I still need to change rings,accessories )
I got about 3-4k more hp more condi dmg with only a loss of around 50 toughness.

so far I like it.

No x9000!!!

thank you anet,
I will now have the time to try out your PvE content as I will no longer step foot in wvw.

Xom.9264:

Kills the only good game mode in this joke GW2 has become.

GvG deathmatch.

PvP conquest mode with limited stats from amulet is the lowest skill cap I have ever seen in a MMO.

WvW zergers dont need stat boost they would be better served with WXP or Karma boosts

+9000

I think they should scrap the stat boost and give a ppt boost to whoever has the buff so the zergers will be happy.

I wont be playing WvW anymore, thats how the servers are going to be effected.

Boycott wvw?

How is that different from what hardcore GvG enthusiasts do already?

I can only speak for myself but I do wvw.
I dont take keeps and towers but I kill enemies who try to get to a tower to defend or cut off reinforcements. that is my favorite part. now its all about who has the better coverage to keep the bloodlust stacks in their favor.

Boycott wvw?

sure that would be great…..if only anet actually cared about gvg

Boo, it was fun while it lasted.

Funny you say that rly Odin, youll see why… btw any Good Fights [GF] member that can hook me up a logo? failed miserably in acquiring one myself, nothing pops up on my searches :/
