Guild Wars 2

Uzzwick.8457:

- Face-to-face trading – should have been there at launch, still isn’t here. Is it that hard?

It’s not here for a very valid reason, it should never come in.

Anet have already stated that while they would like them to be account bound eventually, it is not technically possible at this time and is why they put the ability to drop the prints for someone else to pick up as a sort of work around.

If you guys are just standing in the circle with your hands in your pockets and not defending the circle from that type of move, then pay the price.

Kill the players doing the rezzing … can’t cap while they are there anyway.

Bring dueling on if and only if:

A. Auto decline option is available from the start (no partial roll out or fix in some future patch that never comes)
B. Disabled for all in WvW. Don’t need even longer queues because of non-contributors.

Why wouldn’t it be? NPC’s that can be rezzed have always been treated the same as allies. You can heal them, protect them, boon them, why not insta-rez them?

soon as I saw mounts in the OP, I have to automatically disregard everything else you said. No to everything.

why should you get to see what a guild is doing if you are not doing anything to help the guild(ie: representing it)?

Ungood.3054:

The NFL has 32 teams that play every week and they don’t need to math it to death to figure out who took first and who took last …

Here is the major flaw with that argument: Those NFL teams field the EXACT same number of players at the EXACT same time EVERY MATCH FOR THE ENTIRE MATCH!

WvW is nothing like that. If every server fielded 50 people per map 24/7 then yes we could use a simple system like that because then it would be about skills and tactics. WvW as it is now is about neither. The smaller your population is the closer to the bottom you are. The more gaps in coverage you have the closer to the bottom you go. Its as simple as that.

Ungood.3054:

The fact is: Servers in fact don’t transform from Super to Stink when they move up and down.

The reality is: expecting the worst of 2 tiers above playing the best of 2 tiers below will not make a good match up.

Worst of T4 vs. middle of the road T5 vs. best of T6 = T6 non-competitive against the T4

T4 coverage and overall population is vastly different then T6

You are sighting nothing but statistical outliers to back up your flawed suggestion. Basing a system on what happened to kaineng is ridiculous, it’s population increased by like 800 to 1000% and that’s being conservative.
Every case you mention is a case of servers losing and/or gaining a large amount of population.

CHIPS.6018:

… or have 10 ballistas and acs.

1 balista would hit all 40 if they turtle up. Same with a single AC. Siege has a 50 target cap.

Ungood.3054:

Tier 6:
Northern Shiverpeeks would not be dead last for every match up all month long.
Tier 7:
Would not spend the new few weeks getting owned by Darkhaven

Instead in week 1 of your new system NSP would own t7 and DH would get kitten slapped in t6, week 2 would be back to the way it is now, then rinse and repeat every week.
How in the world does moving a stronger 18th placed team (NSP) down to t7 make for a better match up when the 19th placed team (DH) is face rolling it already?

Gliko isn’t the one producing unbalanced matchups, MASSIVE population differences between servers are causing matchup imbalances.
If anet had done this right any server could have a chance to move up to the top server in NA/EU but the fact is there is no chance for the majority to ever be competitive in t1 let alone win in t1.
The reality is the ONLY way a server moves up is via transfer guilds (example: kaineng). I don’t care how good a server’s players are if they don’t have the numbers for 24/7 four map coverage they stand no chance.
Math, no math, makes no difference, it doesn’t solve the issue of numbers & coverage which is the TRUE cause of match imbalances.

how about fixing the existing filters so they actually worked too. Consumables > food ends up showing no food at all.

So NSP finally got your fair weather players to get off their backsides I see.

Okay so with no math you end up with things like:

T8: SF moves up and HoD moves down, do you really thing HoD won’t kitten slap the other two the same as SF has been doing?

T6: NSP drops and DH moves up, Do you somehow think NSP is going to beat GoM and HoD by less then DH has been doing? No in all likelihood, NSP will make T7 even more lopsided then it was. Compound this with a T8 moving to T7 and you essentially have a match up of 1 t6, 1 t7 and 1 t8 … that’s a disaster of a match up.

The problem isn’t the ranking system, its population/coverage differences. Anet really should have had separate WvW servers and strictly maintained population balances between then, then maybe we wouldn’t have big differences between tiers and some tiers with a good match but one that’s stale and old (personally I am sick of both enemy servers I have been playing again but I know any change and the match up will only be worse, so you end up with a choice, new faces or better match up).

thats an old bug, seems to happen more once you start upgrading durious.

Another NPC bug is if an enemy has an upgraded hills with merchant and bank and you take it, they may keep respawning as enemies (the banker and merchnat that is) until you do that upgrade.

because you brought up mounts I will just blanketly say no to everything.

randys.4023:

how you think i can take a tower alone …

GW2 is an MMO … the second M is for MULTIPLAYER … ie: not everything is meant to be done solo.

Wisty.4135:

I really just don’t want to ever go back to WvW.

I don’t ever want to go back to PvE but yet anet keeps forcing me so suck it up and deal.

here we go again … is it really that hard to search and post in any of the existing threads or do you just think your voice is so much more important then anyone else that you should be allowed to ignore the forums rules and make threads wily nily?

winner moves up and loser moves down is a TERRIBLE idea. There are huge difference between most tiers and you’d just end up with massively unbalanced matches every single week.

its a game if you don’t think some things are stacked against you in all games you are delusional.

appling logic to make believe fantasy gaming is laughable.

Takerukun.8924:

And the sentry is mainly there to just hinder and/or stop enemy dolyaks from passing. For the most part, they do that just fine as they are.

Really? The sentry cannot even kill a dolyak. Sentries are a joke. Sentries should be an upgrade option at the nearest camp or tower/keep/castle. The default sentry needs a serious buffing too.

being able to solo 5-8 veteran guards at a time is seriously a joke. Very poor design philosophy.

So somehow it would be more ‘fun’ to one shot maps if there was no leveling adjustment? I don’t understand what the OP is getting at.

Gwalchgwn.1659:

What about: upgrading only possible by the guild that claims them
This makes claiming a tower, even when you don’t have guild buffs (let’s assume you only claimed it with 5 ppl from 2 guilds total, both don’t have buffs) worth the effort.

So spys/trolls go around claiming a bunch of places so they block you from upgrading at all. Sorry bad enough these losers already do it to block people from putting up guild buffs.

as stated before by anet use ‘scamming’ option. Also if its happening that much fraps and/or screenshot it and send it to exploits@anet.com.

every successful server has both zergs and small roaming teams.

Dhar.6392:

Anyone have a clue?

Usually they post what the ratings are…based on last week. This week seems like this week is the same as last week…

Did anyone more up or down?

Are the one’s we face this week… the one’s we’ll have to face for 8 weeks?

Trying to sort out who’s going to be the top of ‘my tier’… thinking about the world bonus (as it effects gathering/crafting)… collecting mats for Legendaries is not an idle pursuit… best bonus a requirement.

So you are planning to pay to transfer to the top of your tier to get the world bonus benefits cause you will NOT get any bonuses while guesting.

Bones.5762:

I’m hoping this is just a bug that is on the to-do-list for Feb update.

Maybe march, feb update is cancelled for wvw.

thats the price of transmuting, nothing wrong with it.

I had a culling issue in an empty PvE map … wtf? seriously, two svanir attacked me twice each before they rendered. No other player was around.

kefro.9312:

… with that score… yes they will be in tier 4

All based on a formula that’s not going to used anymore. The math for calculating next match up has not yet been released by anet.

Kalkz.5297:

yesterday, ARs blood was so delicious :P

golf clap you PvDoored a map AR as a whole doesn’t much care about the majority of the time.
Why don’t you try it in ARBL during prime time hours, too hard?

Yes, please!!!!

Tom.3981:

So I would like to do this jump puzzle, without people like you bothering me Casita.

First, that’s not how my name is spelt, but we all make typos, so I’ll let it go
Second, can please explain to me then why this JP is on the WvW map to begin with?
Third, can you please explain why anet themselves put traps into the design of the puzzle to be used against other players if they meant for you to go through it unimpeded?
Finally, I have never camped nor killed anyone in the JP before, but all this sure is making me think of starting.

GummiBear.2756:

or what if you just like dungeons, but don’t have anything to use the tokens on?

If something is useless, destroy them. No need to hold onto them forever, especially if you continue to grind on them, just keep like 4 full stacks or whatever makes you comfortable and trash the rest.

Yes add dueling … in sPvP or PvE only, not to WvW.

Orpheal.8263:

Getting no reward for your efforts at trying something is by far not as much fun, as when you’d get at least some smaller reward for that, what you’ve successfully done.

Getting a reward for basically logging in … WOW HOW FUN! what an achievement that is.
Let’s make it even easier why don’t we, create a new toon and you’re bags will automagically be full of every piece of gear you might ever need, that way its all FUN HAPPY TIMES right?
Oh right, now its boring a kitten because there is nothing to EARN, everyone has it.

PS: NSP you are welcome for wiping BP at your garrison too.

nm already lost it again and been repelled a couple more times. Whoever the OS commander is thanks for the badges at lowlands and again in hills lords room, they were delicious

FINALLY NSP takes hills on their own borderlands back … gonna learn to defend this time?

Ben K.6238:

Not really. Most of the WvW players I’ve talked to about it won’t come here because they can’t stand the people.

Using your own argument, those same people, if they have a complaint won’t come here either.

only 3 servers fit in t1 … if anyone is to blame, blame the transfer guilds and blame the servers obviously tanking this week so they drop.

maybe y’all NSP should take the squabbling in-house

Nice try at ARBL Hills BP … close but no cigar. You had the numbers but failed on the tactics.

The Angle of Deth.2985:

Okay…so let’s say that a cartographer’s tonic made the user a fourth team, say white flag team. The tonic user being a white flag team member would not be able to read red, blue, or green team chats. No intel is given away.

You don’t get intel from reading chats, you get intel from looking with your own eyes and reporting what you see to your guild/voice chat of choice.

example: I drink a tonic, become white, and shadow the movements of the enemy and report back to my guild/server alliance exactly where they are going and what they are doing. They can’t stop me, I am flagged unkillable, I laugh as they try.
Someone said make it so while tagged you can’t go within certain radius of fortifications. Thats not a solution either, lots of area can be sat upon to watch troop movements without getting near fortifications. I don’t need to stand at a gate to see people come out it and head a certain direction.
