Guild Wars 2

and Anet havent even asked for a replacement!!!!

I guess, as usual, the devs think they know what they are doing and what we want!

ArchonWing did any devs even reply back to your collected feedback?

FSPs were only supposed to hold a post for 6 months and then another chosen. I’ve lost track on how long it has been.

But it’s nice to know that Anet feel they do not need to replace you!!

I think that tells us everything.

Sirendor.1394:

Or he resigned himself, since he’s not being listened to by the foolhardy developers who can’t accept that they were wrong once again.

The FSP program was a farce to begin with.

Just look at the forums, the devs and mods reply to even the most mundane comment in general discussions, yet leave WvW alone and barely touch sPvP.

It was yet another ploy to get the most gullible to believe they were doing something when in fact they werent.

Do you think they even bothered to read what ArchonWing wrote?
At no part of the description of the FSP program does it state that the devs will reply to the FSP.
So I would be very surprised if ArchonWing ever had a conversation with a dev at all!

3 years is enough for me, especially being ripped off with DLC being sold as an expansion. I only do WvW 3 times a week now.

Offair.2563:

What was the point of having them anyway.

Better communication with the community to improve the game.
[Looks at Deserted Borderlands]
Yeah, they listened alright, to PvE players!

Anet-trooper 1: Seems there is a disturbance in WvW
Anet-trooper 2: Let’s ask our PvE players what is wrong.

Anet-trooper 2: Our PvE players are happy.
Anet-trooper 1: Good, good. We can continue our plans for DLC Part 2.
Anet-trooper 2: DLC? I thought we were making another expansion.
Anet-trooper 1: Indeed, but they’ll never tell the difference.

LetoII.3782:

… Did you mean 13 year old hardware?

Nah, people always forget to carry the zero, they meant 30 year old.

Anet: We love listening to feedback from players we like and say nice things, espeically if they are well-known PvE streamers or e-sporters.

Anet neglecting WvW?! Never!

If it wasnt true, you could call it slander!

We already asked anet about this at launch. We asked when would DX11 support be added.

They said they were looking at it and would be added within 6 months of launch, but again 3 years later…….

The problem was that GW2 was designed to allow older PCs to run it.
Anet did not even consider the rate at which technology increases. And then took longer to make the game.
And so we end up with people owning more powerful computers than they thought and the game engine has become almost obsolete when compared to what is out there now.

How many people dont have a quad core with 8gb of ram these days?
And as for DX11 cards, they are are cheap as chips, it’s harder to buy a dx10, or dx9 card than a dx11 card.

And now we have DX12 and Vulkan just round the corner.

But then again this is in the WvW forum, do we honestly think we’ll all be here next year? How many of us are actually gonna buy the next expansion after the HoT DLC?

Entellex.3082:

So when the fart is ArenaNet going to optimize WvW? That has been the main thing I wanted to play ever since the dang game came out. I still haven’t experienced it yet, LOL

Can you even play properly at 20 FPS?

I currently have an i7 and R9 270 and I only get 30~40 fps in the mist, so I know kitten well I can’t WvW with that GPU

They cannot optimise it any further. As long as the game remains on DX9

Even though they said they would introduce DX11 within the first year after launch, here we still are 3 years later, still stuck on DX9.

The problem with Anet here, is that they look to NA kitten base what they think the entire community, kitten, NA and EU, want.

This is why you see a lot of them on Blackgate.

So even though there is a 50+ queue, or even a 100+ queue for EB. There will still be some WvW guilds on the new Deserted BLs.
So when Anet look at those metrics they see everything is awesome.

But then when you look at T5, things are in deed dire.

Of course all of this could have been completely and entirely avoided simply if Anet COMMUNICATED WITH US!

They communicate with PvE, they communicate with sPvP, they communicate with Fractals and Dungeons and Raids, and silly things like that one blade of grass which isnt as green as all the others.
Yet they have continuously ignored the WvW community!

In 3 years what have we really gotten?
Reduced culling. Coloured commander tags which still arent fully what we asked for. And a new BL map which they did not consult with us on until the very end where we told them it was crap but it was too late by then, they spent all that time and resources making a map we didnt like and forced it upon us, cos they had to make it seem like they have done something. And lag improved a bit, but still a few complaints.

As always: Soon™

Anet likes it’s silly little test weeks.

I say for a few weeks get rid of PPT completely.
Only way to get points will be PPK.

Oh yes they do!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/January-26th-Update-Your-feedback/first

But as usual this thread is in the General Discussion forum, cos you know, we WvW players looooove PvE.

So let’s post in that thread with our feedback!

I’d love to know what your report says about the WvW forums and our thoughts!!!

SO first thing first, when will you ditch the Deserted BLs and give us back the Alpine ones, whilst you develop maps we really want and asked for?

Our updates remove fun!

Shut Up And Give Us Your Money!

The current devs couldnt design a MOBA map, thats how bad they are

The thing that has made these forums, specifically and only this WvW forum, redundant is that Anet have not communicated with us properly.

And again, when they do, it’s one or two posts, then nothing for months!

As you can see, these WvW forums are active, the only thing they lack are responses from Anet!

Loosmaster.8263:

Did you even bother to read Gaile’s title?

ArenaNet Forum Communications Team Lead

That means the entire forums including WvW, she barely posts on the WvW forums, and when she does we never hear from her or anyone else for months again!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Am-i-the-only-one-who-s-irritated-by-this/first

Yup, they respond to a post about someone complaining that the plural of staff is staves.

Meanwhile in WvW……

I have noticed, especially on NA servers, that a lot of commanders use macros for this.

Even though it’s against the rules, it’s clear they are using macros to issue commands for those not on TS.

Not Anet

/15charr

Over the last 3 years I’ve had infractions on almost a weekly basis, due to the fact that I complained about WvW how how it was being neglected.

Now with everyone complaining, I’ve not had one in months! :’(

Why isnt mt name in the list?

I said yes, but I also want new real WvW maps as well :P

A strawpoll would make things easier.

edit… Oops someone already said that above, no point starting a second:P

I’d rather see a World Chat where everyone from each server can talk to each other.
Team chat being server can talk to each other even on other maps
And Map chat server talking on that specific map.

No I want new maps as well as the Alpines back! Just not the Deserted BS ones!

In fact I want another 2 minimum! So that we can finally get a map rotation going on!

Argos Helios.4965:

improving the quality of The Shatterer fight is more important than releasing the WvW update

At let us not forget that the devs themselves told us that WvW would be a major priority after HoT release!!!!!

And now this new, untested update which they have given us no info about or asked what we want and how we want it, is now stated for later this year; which in anet terms end of the year – last quarter!

We’ve been saying it for 2 years now, and they’ve not listened, and now it is very much too late!
I am already not playing this game as much as I used to, I might raid with my guild 3 days a week now, if I can be bothered.

WvW is just not fun any more.

pariah.5093:

Daddar.5971:

So some of the beta-release type bugs are fixed now, in a game that’s been out of beta for 3 years.

Sssssslooooowwwwww Claaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

Its Anet! Don’t forget they have to take baby steps

If it aint walking by 3 then better to kill it and …..

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMYo1uBp7PU&t=2m19s

More like false advertising.

But even if you ask for a refund now, they will most likely close your entire account down; including the core game you bough 2-3 years ago.

Seems the only way to remove an expansion from an account will be to disable the entire account.
Then they will force you to buy an entirely new copy of the game if you wish to continue playing.

Yay! WvW is saved from this little fix!

Pretend WvW is Apollo 13 and Anet is Houston.

Houston never answered back.

Reply to one of our many, many, many serious concerns, rather than replying to some little issue with arrow carts?!

Zetsumei.4975:

xDDD

Btw what the kitten is with the new 30 minute cooldown for posting on here?

You were causing too much trouble, so anet limited your posting abilities.

New maps would be a little more fun with gliding.

Kanebrake.6192:

Mark.1679:

They cant be serious.. right?
How can they work for OVER a year at the overhaul and still need so much time after HoT to finish it?! Cant they see WvW gamemode is slipping out of their hands?
My god… I dont understand Anets thoughtprocess at all. Are they really that understaffed?!

My guess is that when they saw the reaction to the new WvW maps that came with HoT it was back to the drawing board and whatever progress they made over the last year has at least partially been scrapped.

Nope, the new maps can be rescued.

IF AND ONLY IF THE kittenERS LISTEN TO US!

Simple answer, Anet want WvW to fail!

They never liked it and the devs who made it have all left. The rest have no idea and see it as a pain to deal with. Better to let it die than do anything.

We waited 3 whole years for new maps, and even when the testers told them the new maps werent good, anet still didnt listen.
They didnt tell us Devon Carver left, they didnt tell us who, if anyone, has taken over his role.
They claim they have been working on WvW for over a year, and now they tell us it will take another year?!

Sorry but enough is enough!

Fellfoot.8156:

Well, I guess you could say they’re making some repairs to the damage that HoT caused. So technically they’re still working on HoT? I don’t expect anything for WvW until May 2016 (and then only if there’s no Living Story going on).

Edit: No, I didn’t believe them either and still don’t believe that WvW is any kind of priority.

Edit2: pssst, Anet folks, your cards are in the mail…

;D

Lol if that’s the case we’re never going to anything!
3 years after core game and there are still a tonne of bugs in that!

We have HoT, which itself created and contains a tonne of bugs.
And now we hear they are also working on another expansion for next year!

Sorry but I dont expect kitten from Anet now. The faster Crowfall comes out the better.
I might even go back to Archage! Or even Pong, at least it’s more interesting!

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/profession-balance-goals-for-the-winter-2016-update/

So much for putting WvW as a priority after HoT!!!

sephiroth.4217:

Guys….

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/World-vs-World-Holiday-Sneak-Peek

It’s like, 3 threads above this one.

1) That post is from almost a month ago!
2) It contains nothing of interest that will save WvW. PPK will not save WvW
3) It contains the most used eta used for WvW updates: Soon™
4) We’ve not had an update or more details about it since.

All the above is just another cycle in the carrot on a stick race we call waiting for WvW updates.

I think the only thing the dev have ever done right for WvW is removing the culling.

Just look at the forum threads, it’s all negative reviews and complaints.
Used to be the mod would delete these, but now after the HoT release, things are so bad everyone is complaining!
We may have had that useless reply about PPK, but where are the replies to all our complaints?!
Things have never been so bad with WvW as they are now. The devs should be running around like crazy trying to fix things, talk to us about how to fix them etc. Instead we get nothing, just a silly post about PPK and the usual we’ll do it Soon™

Dawdler.8521:

Crowfall looking exactly like WoW make me cringe.

I’d rather cringe than continue seeing WvW fall.

Harvey.7820:

Swagger.1459:

Of course it’s been lip service… Anet is not changing stuff for us really, they are pushed to do things now that a super pvp game called CU is becoming reality and they have to compete…

We will see an effort now because they don’t have a choice anymore.

Camelot Unchained is so so far from being able to compete with GW2 that it’s not even funny. GW2 will kill itself long before CU comes close to touching it…

Sorry for double post but I think the above will be removed as the quoted post will most likely be removed.

CU doesnt look good, but I just watched a video review about Crowfall, and that seems a lot more interesting with seasons, different game types which will last a few months before changing to another!

Basically all the potential we seem GW2 having but in another game!

ArchonWing.9480:

• Works on an expansion before dealing with issues in the core game
• Works on another expansion before dealing with issues in the expansion.

See, this is why you were taught to wash your hands every time you finish using the bathroom. So you don’t get crap all over the place with your dirty hands!

Please tell us if you get an infraction for this!

lmao at it!

My point is that whenever it comes to fixes and updates for WvW, it’s always been a carrot on a stick.

Trying to trick us into staying in this game hoping they’ll do something Soon™, when in fact they plan to do the bare minimum if they can, and if they can get away with it, absolutely nothing at all!

This game is not what is keeping me playing, it’s my guild!
If my guild were to go play another game, I would go with them in less than a heartbeat and never look back at this shambles of a game!

Still no red post after 13 pages of posts?

It’s nice to see anet showing the same commitment to WvW as they did before HoT release, even though they said they would prioritise WvW are HoT release.

Anet was founded by 3 people, including Mike.

I think I now know why the other 2 left and created other companies.

Bah that’s nothing, 8 hours a night after work here.

But as with you, I find that I just cannot be bothered to log in some times. Other times our raid finishes early cos either we or the enemy lose too many players who decide to call it a night early.
So now probably 3 hours when I log on. I’ve even had a few days where I log on and my guild calls it a night just as I do.

But it’s not our fault. We’ve been complaining to anet for years! But what we see now the the result of years of infracting our concerns and neglecting WvW.
But dont worry anet, I have money to spend on other games, cos god knows how much I’ve saved thanks to you not doing anything or putting WvW items in the gem store! Perhaps Crowfall would be a better place to invest in when it is released.

If you are in WvW, even if you are AFK, you are in effect participating in WvW.

And yes this will affect a world population.

If the player is botting in WvW in order to stay in WvW and not face queue when primetime starts then report them for botting.
This is all we can do.

We did need new maps, and we still do.

The alpine map was getting stale, we knew all the siege spots, ambush points etc.
But I agree, bringing back the alpine maps would be better than the deserted bl right now.

At original launch, anet’s idea was map rotations, yet here we still are with just one map, a really really bad pve map, which has forced so many more players to leave the game!

And what response have we got from anet? : We’re bringing back PPK, Soon™

Well the answer is obviously yes, but I think it’s falling a lot faster than even I expected.

Just look at the matchup rankings: http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#EU

German servers have jumped from silver to gold, and so have Baruch. Whilst general EU servers have fallen quite a bit.

We know german servers love to zerg, one is all, all is one. Even when we had the alpine maps, it was always the german server zerg moving around as one.

Now if a lot of players have left general eu servers, it would explain the rise of the german servers. Even if german servers also lost players.

We’ve always complained that WvW rewards zerging, even though some of us dont want to run around in an 80 man blob and want to run with 25 guild members.

But to me the only thing that would explain this shift, is a lot of players leaving the game mode. And this shift coincides with the HoT release.
