Guild Wars 2

What we do know is that no one wanted these changes, even if they are temporary. unless you can link me to a thread where they do.

No this is a temporary test, not an event. Also a test which many of us have said we dont want because we already know the end result. By trying to call this some sort of special event, or treat for us WvW players is still insulting if you ask me.

Seriously Anet, all you do is remove white swords and add PPK, and you are now calling it an “Event”?!

This is just insulting to us WvW players!

Oh yeah, in be4 the people saying we got Edge of the Mists… that’s not World vs. World… that’s a pve/pvd champion karmatrain.

And yet it was something that was created and tweaked based on what the WvW-players said and wanted during the closed beta of said map.

As I recall the groups who were invited to test EOTM were sPvP guilds, not exactly WvW players.

That said, from adopt-a-dev devs somehow got the impression we want white swords removed. Well the majority of WvW players have already posted on these forums saying they dont want that!

So question is, after spending time with WvW players, how did the devs come up with a change which, after posting about it, almost all WvW players said they dont want it?!
It’s like going to a takeaway ordering a pizza to eat in, and the person taking your order shouting back to the kitchen “One salad to go”

As players and technically the prime investors in this game, I too would like to know how the devs came to this most absurd conclusion from their time in WvW!!!

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

IEverything is designed so that players can’t destroy others experience.

You obviously do not play in WvW.

You know you are in the wrong server matchup when you brag about 1 server dominating two servers which are resorting to teaming up to try to beat you and fail!

Free transfers didnt work, and when tournaments are on, everyone bandwagons on one server to get the better reward. It’s a joke.

Control, control, you must learn control!

Control the transfers so that eventually all servers are almost equally active 24/7, not he current mess where the 3rd rank server can obliterate the 4th rank and 5th rank servers at the same time due to more coverage than both put together.

When I replied to you via my “PM”, asking where the FCT for the WvW forums had gone; I did not mean you personally coming here to add a few posts.

It’s great that you’ve come here Gaile, but is anything gonna come out of it? Or will we scare you away like we scared to the rest?
As said by Deli, John was here for a few days, said the usual “I like your ideas I’ll pass them on”, then we’ve never heard from him either, no updates no hellos no nothing……..

Well cant wait to say hi to the next new mod who’s tricked into posting in the WvW forums in 6 months time!

Buy it, use it, break it, fix it,
Trash it, change it, mail – upgrade it,
Charge it, point it, zoom it, press it,
Snap it, work it, quick – erase it,
Write it, cut it, paste it, save it,
Load it, check it, quick – rewrite it,
Plug it, play it, burn it, rip it,
Drag and drop it, zip – unzip it,
Lock it, fill it, call it, find it,
View it, code it, jam – unlock it,
Surf it, scroll it, pause it, click it,
Cross it, crack it, switch – update it,
Name it, rate it, tune it, print it,
Scan it, send it, fax – rename it,
Touch it, bring it, pay it, watch it,
Turn it, leave it, start – format it.

Dont forget to bring back the Orbs! The real orbs but the bloodlust.

So after season 3, they claimed they formed a dedicated Forums Communications Team.

Well we had 3 little posts in the first week after S3, but we’ve not heard from them since, again, yet again, again.

But as usual the PvE forums have has mods and devs commenting and replying on an almost daily basis.

So what happened?

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

Egad! Maybe we should have been up-in-arms when they ‘spammed’ the WvW Tournament on our UI. /smh

You did:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Fall-Competitive-Events

I see a silhouetto of a little man,
Devon Carver, Devon Carver, will you do the Fandango?
Kittens and Kittens,
Go ahead and infract me.

I think a lot of you are missing the point.

WvW has received basically nothing!
PvE gets almost everything.
And Anet continously try to push sPvP tournaments for esport.

It aint working, GW2 is not an esport type of game because the sPvP is pretty lame.

As a WvW player, I find it insulting that they are trying to push their epsort failure onto everyone so much that they have now even placed a permanent add on our UI, which you cannot get rid of, only make smaller.

Lol, so people werent there for the tournament, they were there for the precusor.
I think that makes it worse :P

Dinks.2478:

It must be rough, having it take up the 10 pixels in the top right corner of the screen. So rough indeed.

I dont care if it’s 1 pixel!

Anet your PvP tournament is a failure, has been since launch!

Check out this streamer: http://www.twitch.tv/heroharmony
She has MORE viewers and is playing GW2
At the time I checked GW2 has 1,800 she has over 2,300
What does that tell ya!

All you guys talking about headlines, content guide etc have no idea what you are talking about! It doesnt do much! You clearly do not play WvW! So please go back to watching your tournament of kittens.

1) Still takes up space

2) Doesnt remove the gold ones therefore see 1)

3) And get rid of the entire HUD?!

4) Bet the mod will still [ ] this post.

This is just going too far!

I play WvW, I have absolutely no interest in your failed esports!

Please remove it from the UI as soon as possible.

Sorry for repost, but you can guess why.

Merlin Dyfed Avalon.5046:

Open your eyes look up to the skies and seeeeee..
This idea is awefull, it doesn’t deserve sympathy..

Because they want PvE, PvE
eSport here, eSport there
Any WvW post will be infracted by mods, by mods.

I think this is how the meeting played out, expect there was no 3rd guy :/

Lord Kuru.3685:

For Anet’s sake, I seriously recommend an analysis: How did such a terrible idea get all the way to the point of “we’re going to implement this” in the official forums?

I think I know the answer; there simply is no other reasonable or logical explanation!

Is it real?

/eggs

They think it’s all over

John Corpening.9847:

We are removing white swords from objectives
We are also going to test out awarding points per kill.

It is now!

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong WRONG!

Omg who did you guys talk to?! This is all wrong!

The only right thing is changing siege disablers. Is this really all you got from 4 weeks with the WvW community?!

azureazure.5381:

A huge chunk of players I knew moved on to ESO, Wild Star, Diablo before and after season 2.
Now I see a wvw players moving on to Archeage.

Well we’ve always warned anet that if they dont release real content updates for WvW then they would lose players to other games.

Though could it actually be that this is the reason why they have done this adopt-a-dev thing? To find out how to get these players back?

In either case, the only thing that will bring players back is new WvW content; and new siege, and masteries are NOT updates!

Actually I think it’s more like within this circle.

Around what time do they do this? Cos I dont see them doing it.

Quick everyone go to blobgate before they get full again!

Looks like anet increased the server cap. Another bad move!

Chewy.9263:

Guys, come on:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kk3CDbAO0M&list=UUe3-_UshHbsAaIO4CgAu6wA

I think that summarizes the last 2 years of WvW development perfectly, and I am not being sarcastic!

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Atherakhia.4086:

It sure would be nice to get some interaction and commentary from a dev.

You mean like these recent threads?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Siege-Troll-Discussion/4422954

Are you kidding me or are you being serious?!

Are you telling me it took this “initiative” for you to realise 3 from a long list of issues with WvW; issues which were first brought up well voer 18 months ago!?!

Not forgetting that we already received a reply months ago regarding the siege trolls, which was you cannot control players’ actions or the way they play.

Please tell me you got more from this?

And as for us expecting things soon, we dont, based on past performance, we expect WvW to get an update in 2 years time.
Sorry but that will be too late. Already you’ve seen guilds disband as Grotesque.6480 has stated. From this you should realise that you need to work fast and hard to save WvW from yourselves! If you dont more and more players will leave, and they will not be waiting patiently for another 2 years for another small update!

You need to re-prioritise your plans for WvW, your plans are currently, well nonexistent really.

To be honest you need to scrap forthnightly Living Story updates and alternate!
Spent 2 weeks on Living Story, then the following 2 weeks on WvW and sPvP.
WvW is dying if all you are going to do is “discuss” things and not lay out a plan of action you are willing to share with the community; because frankly, telling us you cannot talk about it is just forcing more players away.

We did have constructive criticism, over a year ago! I do find the fact that two of the guilds which hosted the devs disbanded. But what good is there opening their eyes if the end result is still not fixing it; and if they do it’ll be a year before we see anything.

I love this idea!

But I play mostly WvW. How about we also have a map completion mode for PvE zones as well where there are no mobs or monsters or any enemy at all!
This way I can just walk up to all the POI and vistas, and as for heart quests, I can just walk up to the person and automatically get the heart without doing anything else!

I mean this is such a brilliant idea, that it’ll save me a kitten tonne of time that would otherwise be wasted actually playing the game!

I do love how 2 months later a dev/mod is still actively replying to this thread!

If only WvW dev(s) has such dedication!
