Guild Wars 2

WvW is WORLD versus WORLD … not one vs one.

WvW is not PvP, its about tactics and strategy and teamwork, you wanna PvP go to sPvP.

A lvl 2 on an arrow cart does the same damage as a level 80 on an arrow cart. A level 15 carrying 10 supply rebuilds the same amount of wall a level 80 carrying 10 supply does.

Plenty of things lower levels can do to help in WvW, its not an ego competition to see who puts up the biggest numbers or kiss the most invaders, its about taking and holding fortifications.

In the end, any player regardless of level, is only as useful as they make themselves.

Golems need their own siege cap per team per map. Seeing 30-40 golem zergs is ludicrous. WvW should be about tactics and strategy not buying your way into towers.

Golems have become too much of a crutch for crap commanders who haven’t a clue how to properly siege a fortification and feel the need to buy their way into towers.

stopping to appease an ego killing a solo player vs. doing the team thing to help the server … hmmm … not a hard choice …

until they find a way to stop the exploiters (which will never happen because ANet truly sucks at fixing anything) we’ll never see the orbs back regardless of what bonuses they’d give.

Because Botting isn’t easy enough?

Huh? http://tinyurl.com/875svcr

I can assure you that implementing a /follow type command is in no way going to assist or hinder botters. Though it will assist me when I have to run downstairs for a beer refill.

So you can set yourself on follow, your friend goes and caps a few events/towers/camps/keeps whatever and because you were on follow you get a reward you did nothing to earn? (yes I know people do nothing to help take an objective and just run in at the last minute and still get a reward, but at least they were at the keyboard)

As long as this game has rewards for simply standing in circles, things like /follow should not exist.

Go to the chantry of secrets for the chest … but be aware you also need to have completed the 5 explorer achievements (maguma, ascalon, kryta, shiverpeaks, orr) to have completed 100% world, it is not just SP, WP, Vista, Hearts.

not to say you don’t have a point, but your screenshot doesn’t actually prove anything. You don’t have any enemies targeted so impossible to see any invulnerability.

Kaineng and Fergusen’s Crossing have worked together many times to take on Devona’s Rest … and still lost.

get one of those invisible bags, nothing in it gets deposited

I’m stuck on lvl 1 fractal after given up on the whole thing.

Problems:
- A person DC’s … entire group is screwed, no way back in, if say you did 2 fractals but didn’t do the 3rd yet and can’t manage to 4 man it, you do not go up a lvl
- A person drops out for whatever reason … again no way to replace them, so either 4 man it or start all over AGAIN.
-having to level all my 7 toons was bad enough, now I am expected to level them all again for a dungeon? Come on you’ve got to be kidding right?
————————-
As to the people above comparing map zones lvl differentiation to fractal levels you forgot one major thing. I can go solo a map just fine. For a fractal I have to find 4 people my level, all of which cannot DC or quit before finishing a set of 3 fractals, or all that time is wasted.

Also note:
Tonn’s grenade attacks during combat show as a red circle, which is usually an enemies AoE circle color. It should be white to reflect friendly fire, I keep dodging and rolling out if it out of habit

okay update:

I initially didn’t realise there was a team with tonn, I went along side the building, skipping the bog skales then just fought my way through the spiders and cave bats. Tonn respawned right on my heals so I thought no big deal.
This last time realising there was a team I took it slower and killed the skales and got to the tower, which was still invisible, but this time the team did blow it up (it rendered propered as it was collapsing).
I am now heading to tower two. While it appears the story is not totally blocked now, there is still a rendering bug.

okay tried it 2 more times, with a game restart in between just because, and tower is still invisible and Tonn still won’t blow it up.

gonna try it again now, will report and let you know.

Towers are not spawning properly and Demolitionist Tonn seems to be adverse to blowing up the invisible one.

SO [CnB] can only come out and play after Rio Nguyen [CnB] logs into EB on DR server to check how things are going for DR first? That kind of tactic, its no surprise half the guilds are bailing on kaineng server.

Want to talk about a waste of Golems? Kaineng walked 3 of them to Southeast Stonemist gate single file with no escort. We didn’t even bother with cannons and siege, just jumped off the walls and killed them one by one as they walked up.

As a mesmer I still think portals should have a limit to how many people can use them. A single player blinking in entire zergs is just too OP. Yes I know there are counters to the tactic but it doesn’t mean it isn’t OP still.

I personally believe money should have been left out of WvW ENTIRELY right from the beginning and for a currency like Badges of Honor (Assuming they would increase the drop rate to compensate) to be put in place as the currency relating to everything WvW.

I could agree with that, you could make badges for upgrades only drop from taking objectives and badges for siege from defending. By mixing them like that the zergers can do the upgrades and the defenders can get more siege to defend with. If zergers need siege to go take a tower … well they can try their hand at defending for a change.
Have a 3rd type of badges drop from everything to be used for buying PvE equivalent gear through WvW.

glass cannon builds and straight DPSers certainly get a lot more badges and loot bags then support builds/classes.

about the same chance as you looking to see that there is a multiple page multi-merged thread before posting this

easily. you can treb QL from SM 3rd floor too.

Make the ‘defend a tower/keep/castle event’ reward much larger then capturing. Instead of the silly let’s start a timer when someone taps a gate event, make it real a real time reward, so if a tower is under seige for 20 seconds, the reward is small, but if you were defending SM and say the outer gate was breached but took 20 minutes to push then all the way back out the reward should be scaled much larger.

There’s got to be a way to scale rewards based on the size of the force defended against and the amount of effort it took to hold your objective.

Certainly if gates or walls are breached and then rebuilt and the territory becomes uncontested there should a sizeable reward.

Here’s another idea … those who stay and defend and repel an attack should get a 5 min +100 stats buff. A good server would then use those buffed people to go take an objective while rotating those without buffs to go defend. (numbers are just an example and can be tweeked for balance).

So what a [CnB] doing on DR? Not surprisingly he shows up in a tower about 90 seconds after we leave and goes straight to where we caught some kain hiding.

PvP now has its own monthly. WvW should as well. Player we do not wish the do WvW should not have to because its in the PvE monthly. WvW monthly could include things like defend X number of objectives, Escort X number of yaks, Use X number of supply to repair things.
This would also help to encourage more people to defend and not just zerg for badges all day.
You could also create some new things like kill 50 WvW invaders from each of the 4 maps. Capture all NPC allies (Quags x3, Ogres, Hyleks and dredge) X times this month.
This would encourage people to play all four maps again, instead of ignoring one or more.
The reward for WvW monthly could be blueprints and badges, with perhaps a small chance to get superior blueprints.

guards are only there essentially to protect from NPC spawns killing yaks. Without hiring guards almost every yak will be killed by cave bats/krait/colocol/drakes etc. before it ever gets to its destination.

personally I love being on a cannon and getting one person into downed state and not finishing him/her. Couple friends walk up to try and rez and now you have 3 kills for the price of one.

Simple fix and one I have always wished for, we should be able to take down unwanted siege and recover a portion of the supply used to build it.

three whole weeks and you are complaining? Kaineng/Fregusons Crossing/Devona’s rest have faced off for like 8-10 weeks straight now. The longer this game goes the less movement we will see in the WvW ladder.

What I would like to see though is if a tier is the same matchup as the previous week, the starting points are varied. I for one am just sick of always defending lowlands and always attacking Overlook and Valley sides of the map. DR has been green for so long when we change 3/4 of the server will run the wrong way if it ever changes.

xcavars.5049:

Delusions and nothing more.

Yes you are, must be from all those weeks of being the losers that you keep looking for every excuse to sooth your ego and try every exploit and hack … and still you lose.

xcavars.5049:

Wait i thought dr doesnt target us????

No more so then kain and ferg team up against DR

Anyone from kain care to explain? … note lowlands is not under attack (as you can see there is no defend event) nor are any walls breached, nor was this a ‘hidden’ person as we’ve held LL since reset.

Maybe things like this is why DR concentrates on kain so much.

Just ‘purchased’ new armour, new trinkets, new weapons and new food for one of my toons, TP gladly took all my money and noted a sucessful transaction … but nothing to pick up.

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA closest you’ll get to live ratings.

How do we report inappropriate guild names? Report option in-game only has report for character names.

also keep in mind while the northern hemisphere goes into DST the southern hemisphere leaves DST, making it a 2 hours swing (though the dates are different so its a stepped swing over a couple weeks).

Ashontear.9304:

this isnt how it was “ment” to be.

Don’t think the devs planned to have mesmers exploiting the whole thing with portals either.

Dreamwalker.3617:

Children, capes are coming. Or so I hear. They were removed from launch because of clipping issues, but are planned (I believe, I could be wrong here) to be added later on. Probably when they add guild halls and other guild things…

Right after all the Bots are gone they are coming.

only if I can turn everyones off, capes = huge processing demand increase in large zergs. How many other games have you been asked ‘can everyone turn off their capes please?’ Let’s not add that.

EDIT: Thought of a solution … make capes town clothing only.

no log out when in combat like almost every other game out there would solve it.

Nadakuu.6827:

i agree that it should be account bonded.
However, paying a 100g is justified as this would normally show that a player has invested a lot of time into the game and should know what they are doing.

But 100g can be earned without ever stepping foot into WvW and without having a clue about what it takes to be a leader.

Sorry but no, soon as you allow trading outside of the TP, all chat channels will become spam havens of WTB and WTS like gw1 was.

VanderBeltLegacy.4736:

i honestly dont see why people cry over this, unless your jealous of 100G, i think people just need to get over it, it’s the same cries in LA by only .1% of the population each day, the rest are like big whoop..why do we care if some1 spent that much dosh?, “so you stare at your mini-map to let it annoy you?”….also i’d rather follow a commander on a karma train, then a nobody..and yes some people start karma trains in LA, so grow up and move on, or DONT look at your mini map anymore, it’s threads like this that should be trashed upon creation…expecially when alot more important stuff need attention.

Let me guess, you own a commander icon and wouldn’t know where to begin in WvW right? Worried your pseudo status icon will become invisible? I suggest you ‘get over it’ and start farming something else to make yourself look self important.

due to the number of bots that have swarmed this game, I no longer help nor rez anyone without them vocalizing a request for help/rez. Sorry but until Anet gets off its kitten this will remain my personal policy. Besides if you want MY help its really not asking a whole lot to get a plz help and ty.

As for the cost of WP, yes it ridiculous. I am at like 174/175 explorer for a zone and mapping all over trying to find what little spot I haven’t cleared the FoW from to get the achievement and I’ve spent half a gold before I know it and still have to keep spending cause I can’t find what I have missed.
I’m okay with spending 5-6s to cross from Orr to Ascalon, its long distance, I expect that, but over a silver just to get to the next closest WP on the same map? Dumb.

no reason why it shouldn’t auto toggle off in places like LA where there is no combat. Yes it can be useful on the orr maps but no need for LA commanders (or any of the starting towns)

Very simple and fair solution: AoE can only hit 5 targets therefore mesmer portal should disappear after 5 people travel though it.
There is no reason to allow an entire 50+ zerg to use a single portal.

unlocking them at higher levels makes it go faster. In fact after a certain level a single kill will unlock each skill.

Discord.1543:

as far as getting badges for taking camps and keeps…. if you do enough damage to the guild boss at camps and the keep lords, you do get badges.

Not everyone is a DPSer, once again support (a vital role btw) gets screwed.

You don’t have to make transfers cost $/Gems just decrease the frequency from 1 free transfer per day to every 10 days. Sure you will still have some people move around, which is not a bad thing, not everyone finds the right server for themselves the first go and shouldn’t have to pay to find a home, but it would cut down drastically on people/guilds jumping server to server for a day here and there just to find some WvW action cause their match-up sucks this week.
Knowing you’d be guaranteed to miss your own servers match up the next week, would certainly give a lot of people pause before hopping away.

The thief updates are not missing, they are perma stealthed. See how annoying perma stealth is
