I wish you would learn to search, this exact topic has been covered to death.

you could nerf all characters 50% and still face roll through PvE. Not a single thing I can’t do in PvE with any clas with blue gear let alone fully geared exotics. Surely this must be a troll post from the OP?
AR
I dislike a mechanism that punishes the players who do stay alive. If you are alive and cannot rez the ones who are down and cannot take the mob down by yourself then you have to suicide to continue. If the system only punished the ones who died, then great. It punishes the ones alive more in my opinion. It grates on my nerves to have to suicide so the group can all rez.
Live as a team or fail as a team, dungeons are no single player objectives.

never happen. Nothing actually gets fixed in WvW.
agree…
Can’t tell if trolls or unobservant.
Reread all patch notes please.
Go back and re-read how many patch notes have claimed the hills exploit is fixed … it still isn’t. How many months did it take anet to fix even a few of the exploits?
They never even attempted to fix orbs, they just removed them.
Outmanned buff is a joke, thats never been fixed or changed or anything.
Queue problems? yep they still exist since day 1.
Inconsistent siege despawn rates? Oh yeah that’s still there and even anet has admitted to it but not fixed it.
Culling has been an issue from day 1 but 5 months latter we get some half baked ‘fix’ that isn’t really a fix at all with the promise of more … someday … maybe … hopefully.
How about ascended gear? Three months after the rest of the game got it maybe we will, but still no promise, until this wvw patch comes I reserve my right to be skeptical.
Pve has had how many patches and updates while wvw will get its very first on in another month. Shows the priority anet has when it comes to wvw.

dodging attacks for a daily for an award is like doing the dishes. A chore. I feel no gain. No sense of accomplishment. Its rather mindblowing and I want to play other games.
You somehow think gathering 20 nodes is an accomplishment? or killing 15 variety of enemies or kill 60 enemies is?
This is no more awe inspiring then the old daily was, but at least its not the same exact thing every single day.

We all know that dailies are random to the person such as:
We do? Since when? Every single person I have talked to has the same exact dailies each day, we all get a new random set each following day but each day that set is the same for all players.
AR
i am sure there will be people who support this.
I wholeheartedly do not support this. sPvP already gets all gear, you don’t need laurels.
AR
Sure lower the bosses health pool on each wipe … along with players facing same penalty.
AR
i didn’t quite get into it, i ‘kinda’ tried, but figured once you drop it, you have to deploy it, no?
There is a deploy skills and there is a cancel deployment skill (skills 1 and 2 respectively) and your swap weapon button also becomes a drop blueprint.
AR
Dodging doesn’t take skill, my friend.
Sorry doesn’t take much skill to have your pet take aggro while you pound away at them, thats about as easy mode as you can get.

OP you should learn to search, you’d already know that this is coming.

If they raise the drop rate for non MF users than MF users will be like, “How do i hold ALL these rares?!”
Yet another reason to remove the ridiculously stupid MF system.
AR
it would be nice from a player’s point of view. but there’s a reason we use certain characters for wvw and some for pve, jumping puzzles would become way too “farmable”
They already are, grab a friend, find a quiet corner, drop your prints, friend picks up, you alt, friend drops, you pick up, now you have move your prints from alt to main.
AR
you do know there are several thread about this already in the very same forum? Oh wait probably not, yet another person incapable of S E A R C H I N G first.

Bay is the easiest.
Hills is by far the hardest.
If Hills is upgraded and manned by competent people it’s frankly impossible to take.I used to think this, but attacking siege from long distance protected by swirling winds can negate the outer walls easily.
Any treb you build to hit hills can be easily counter trebbed from within hills. It only takes 2 defensive trebs inside hills to take anything out you can build anywhere. As stated above if you have a competent force and proper defenses, hills can be made nearly impregnable, far more so then any other keep or tower.
PS: if I had enough swirling winds eles in hills I could protect the wall from any trebs you fired too, not really relevant tho.
As for Overlook being difficult … I’d agree with inner being hard but outer is cake to take down if you own SM.

vendor them = more money than salvaging. Greens (of high enough level) go in the mystic forge to hopefully become rares.
AR
actually what was said is they would LIKE to do this, they wanted this from the start, but because of technical issues CANNOT do it. Someday. Maybe.
*dropping of blueprints for someone else to pick up was a compromise.
AR
(edited by Catisa.6507)
we basically need a PvE monthly and a separate WvW monthly, contrary to PvE opinion the current offering is NOT a PvE monthly, no where does it claim to be a PvE monthly. PvP got thier own, I don’t see why WvW can’t have thier own as well.
If anet is worried people will farm them too much make it so people can only do one monthly and let players decide which one they want to do.
AR
old ones reset at same time new ones do, nothing there has changed. As to whether it seems to reset at end of day or not, all depends on your play time.
AR
5. Commanders should have access to Commander chat that only other active commanders on the same map can see, this would help foster communication between commanders and reduce spying
AR
Um hello fractals?
AR
Just because they stated it repeatedly doesn’t mean players can’t ask for it.
Just because players ask for it doesn’t mean players will get it.
Not sure what the point of your post was.
AR
sorry had no idea you were talking for spvp.
AR
its a soulbound item, like armour, it is not intended to be swapped between alts. If you want it for multiple toons, you will have to buy it multiple times.
AR
we’re not talking about using wvw population we’re talking about using realm ranking to quantify gem cost
its not about stopping them making money its about using a scaling for server transfers that actually benefits communities instead of screwing ares up.
wvw is quantifiable by server ranking , transfers only effect WVW they have no effect on any other part of the game ZERO effect!
Did you not even bother to read the post above yours? It explains the pitfall of your argument quite well.
A server has a max number of users it can handle, regardless of whether they WvW or not. This is fact.
Let’s use imaginary numbers to make this easier, I’ll keep the small so its easy to work with an understand, I know the numbers are not realistic.
Server Cap = 1000 players
Server A has 850 players on it currently
It’s population is 700 PvE and 150 WvW
Server A is currently locked into tier 8 because of its low WvW playing population but is still highly populated overall.
Guild X from another server decided to transfer its 300 member WvW centric guild to Server A and prove how kitten awesome they are be raising Server A ranking up and because its very cheap to transfer to a low ranked server.
——————————
After transfers:
Server A population is 1100 players. Server A crashes, repeatedly, it simply cannot handle the load. Server A WvW population is now 450 strong that cannot do anything because the server keeps failing because your system overloaded it.
AR
why would you transmute a legendary to begin with?
AR
So… Which server is the “Triad Knights [TK]” from?
Cause clearly the server transfer costs mean nothing to you guys
Never heard of them, but then a troll 2nd account would probably make a fake guild or detag. Maybe ask ronny raygun if its his 2nd account he uses to spy (we all know he has one). TCMM have already shown this week that they will use whatever cheat they can to win.
AR
(edited by Catisa.6507)
transfer fees are based on total server population AT TIME OF TRANSFER:
Medium = 500 gems
High = 1000 gems
Very High = 1800 gems
Fees have nothing to do with WvW populations (impossible to quantify and only a portion of server resources) or tier positions.
AR
yeah now you just can’t tell if the pugs are still with you or whether they have run off, they keep blinking in and out. The trial was heavily criticized when it was trialed several weeks back and now that its back its just as annoying.
To follow a commander now I have to constantly watch my mini-map because s/he keep disappearing and reappearing in the zerg, I never know if I missed a call to WP or its just culling.
Went to garrison the other day, no one there but myself, needed to make some superior siege, realized I hadn’t gotten mats out of the bank for it, went looking for the golem banker and he wasn’t there. Walked around lords room for 90 seconds until culling decided to make him appear.
Great job anet, just wonderful. /sarcasm

Devs have stated repeatedly they do not want people fighting in town clothes. They are not going to change it.
AR
If by “work perfectly” you mean : Punish the PVE players and/or force the PVE players to participate in PVP….then I agree.
Oh yes you PvE players have SUCH a difficult lot in life. /sarcasm. You guys have the gravy train, quit with the QQ over every little freaking thing.
AR
I strongly disagree. There can be multiple legit reasons not to be repping at any particular time. If I know a player is online and not repping I can still whisper them and ask them to rep if we have a guild meeting or something. If the player simply showed offline (which would be an outright fallacy btw) I wouldn’t be able to do time.
If a player wants to hide, they have the option to change thier own online status to offline.
AR
Anet has already made a statement on this issue.
AR
Those who don’t enjoy WvW are outright forced to do something they don’t want for too many things.
And WvW players aren’t FORCED to do dungeons for monthly? and 30+ PvE maps for world completion while you Pve’rs whinge about 4 maps? and now forced to craft for some dailies as well? Not to even mention to gold and gear imbalances that exist.
You Pve’rs have had the easy ride all along but have also QQ’d the hardest and longest like spoilt little children who need every single bloody thing their way.
AR
Where is this mythical PvE monthly you all keep mentioning? All I see is Monthly … says nothing about PvE. The PvP monthly is sPvP ONLY, has nothing to do with WvW.
AR
its called strategy. Now you have to have some instead of “everyone run in dps as hard as you can, when you die WP and run back, rinse and repeat until we win”
This change is long overdue. If your group is wiping then I suggest getting better. Also if a teammate (yes those other 4 people are your teammates) goes down, get them up, don’t just mindlessly continue to DPS.
AR
1. That doge and revives don’t work with every class. A lot of players don’t know the in’s and out’s of game, and also can’t play for long periods of time.
That’s utter rubbish, every class has an endurance bar and can dodge. Every class can simply click F (default) and kneel down and revive someone. Its not hard. Its not difficult. Its not bugged. Stop making excuses. Either do it or don’t.
AR
there was 5 months of free transfers that were never intended. If guesting had worked at launch like it was supposed to you would never have gotten any transfer for free, be thankful you only have to pay once now.
AR
so you chose not to look or read anything and now you want anet to change things? Whats to stop you from not reading spam emails? Sorry this is on you. No change needed.
AR
don’t let downed players die … no need to change anything.
AR
Not a chance, im on a t3 server and there are plenty of people on mine and opponents servers.
BP = t6 dude.
AR
NO NO NO NO NO should I say it again? NO. bad idea. terrible idea. horrible idea.
AR
For what it’s worth, there’s an easy fix to this if anyone is interested:
Just use resource weighting to adjust the PPT. At any given time the highest population is considered to be 100% value.
Server A has 100 people, server B has 25 and server C has 35:
Anything held by servers B & C are worth full point values (100%)
Anything held by server A is worth an average of server B and C resource weight (30%, I used round numbers to make the example easy to follow).
So when the 15 minute countdown to the next point tally comes, everyone logs out quick to make sure we get full value … what an improvement.
AR
Maybe they can make World vs. World only accessible during certain times depending on whether the server is a US server or EU server but now that ArenaNet has already established no more free world transfers it will be impossible to follow this plan out unless they make exceptions.
So during which time zone would NZ, Au, Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc be forced to play in?
How about US shift workers who don’t work the standard 9-5 job? How about people who work night jobs?
Who are YOU to tell anyone else when THEY can play?
AR
NEVER going to happen. Legendaries are meant to be skins only. The are not meant to be game changing.
AR
because WvW is not spvp.
AR
The real problem are monthly. Some of the requirements are too steep (like the one wth jumping puzzle). I just remade my main toon and cannot finish monthly cause of that, since so far I am only lvl 25.
Discover the 3 JP in LA, relog do it again, rinse and repeat.. JP discovery done in under 30 minutes. Simple. Remember it is discover not complete JP’s, you only have to find the entrance, not make it to the end.
