I like the DBL. There is nothing wrong with it, once you understand the map. It is more complex than the Alpine BL, which, was designed like a ‘Risk’ map one dimensional.
there’s A LOT wrong with it.
1. Auto-upgrades – i say scrap this idea, back to basics, have someone trigger the upgrade to actually happen, just remove the gold cost.
2. Towers serve no real purpose – sure they block you and have you take the longer path to wherever you wanna go, but getting towers wont let you treb garri, or bay. they are now just simply aesthetics.
3. relative to point 3 – the map is too big. i know, a lot of people are saying “its the same” …really? then how come northern towers cannot treb middle/garri keep?
same goes for sw tower to bay/fire keep? you cant even hit a friggin camp from a tower. now tell me if its not too big, and if it’s the same size.
4. WayPoints being permanently contested in both air/fire keeps in home BLs …this is simply just a nightmare.
5. Gathering nodes. Nuff said.
6. Too horizontal. Clearly this map has been made with gliders in mind, but because of the possible glitch/glide abuse, it is not implemented.
7. Oasis Event – thankfully they disabled this. As this event just gives the more populated server an advantage over the few defenders…
8. Particle heavy. again, too much aesthetics.
These are the things that i can think of, but im sure people have more in mind.
Isn’t that what’s happening?
Map Queues and Server Full…
^wont work, cause the reason you get stability is to not get CC-ed… so in that tiny period you’re immune to CC, it just defeats the purpose of CC getting rid of Stability stacks. Might as well make it duration-based like before.
just be thankful you didnt suffer 2 months of crap match ups like what happened to Isle of Janthir when it was t3 last august/september.
Basically then, there were 4 servers with tier2 population/points and each week, one of these four will drop down to tier3 messing everyone else.
it was the beginning of IoJ Exodus 2, and we havent gotten back up again, ever since.
with the new classes – there were A LOT of new CCs, but we did not get the same number of stability sources. that’s why most people view stability as useless….
probably never. it’s one way for anet to make money thru gathering tool convenience.
lazy people like me would have 2 sets of each gathering tool to equip my two most used characters, cause i cant be bothered swapping it in and out each time i log in/out.
ive heard some people have 8sets of each. >.<
i reckon you’re in red, by EB keep, that wall below the rocks near the stairs to the south inner… yep, been there, done that.. no fix unfortunately. devs dont seem to care.
Why would it scale with allies tho? If that’s the case then i’d just summon up every last single player of the server, and just afk at the walls and watch a small group fail at the lord fight or give up…
it’s stupid.
basically same rewards.. the only thing different is they throw in a Tome of Knowledge (+1 Level) as a reward if you cap a keep. Thats it! Pretty much useless if you’re max level. LOL (and that’s only if it’s one of the daily quests… for anything else, its basically all the same)
^sadly i dont agree with this. i have this weird thing that when i see chat boxes with faces, makes me think that game is cheap. sorry. its something in my head, no offense.
Free server transfers, or server merges… what’s the difference, it still would mean getting out of a tier you dont want…
At least for server transfers, you get to choose where to go.
wishing you the best of luck, Knob, Xhondoh and everyone else.
my stand will always be: i wont feed anet’s coffers for something they messed up on.
it’s not my fault why servers are so imbalanced.
so, i wont spend a dime when they should be the ones spending to get this fixed.
ANet,
Would it kill you for free server transfers while this mess is getting looked into? cause looking at your track record, it will take years before anything gets done. Stop being cheap penny pinchers.
Geezus friggin christmas tree.
2 months after playing the game i got 2 precursors.
And made incinerator a month after i got, sold the other one for mats
Lucky <3
to hell with reddit i hate that crap.
idk why people use that… its layout is crap, upvotes/downvotes are crap, and the comment indentation thing, guess what? crap.
They should put a warning in for this. That being said in ANY MMO you should always read up on your gear path BEFORE buying anything.
Isn’t the word UNIQUE a warning?
Too vague a meaning. Unique can mean a lot of things.
WARNING: You can only equip one Unique Item of its type.
^That’s a warning. Self explanatory and not ambiguous.
i would love for these fangirling forumers eat what they’re saying about being optimistic of ANet.
I will never forget that smirking face of that “directionless director” when he smugly said “Typically, if you’re in to WvW, you’re really in to PvE”.
To this day, that video still haunts my nightmares, and that how the game mode i loved, has gone so far down the drain because we are PvEers in his eyes.
Until ANet realizes that this kitten -head is what’s dragging everyone down, and get rid of him, i will just be waiting on the sidelines, looking skeptical at every word ever said here, or in reddit.
You mean something like : Visions of the Mists
So…. is this ever going to be released?
Timezone based WvW Matches.
Technically, region restriction on match ups…?
Example, SEA/OCX Heavy Servers like Fort Aspenwood can only be matched with fellow OCX/SEA heavy servers, then? Is that how you want it?
Weird as i dont have it. Instead it appears in my chatbox.
yes please! frigging day cappers! sigh… people should only be playing OCX/SEA timezone and no where else!!
^gold
Mike O’Brien’s famous line.
I imagine his tombstone will say something like that LOL

Thankfully there are still dedicated people around like Knob and the other guys (bless them) but i couldnt personally take it anymore.
I usually log close to about 20hours a day in WvW, specially when i started playing, but now, i dont even wanna spend 20seconds in it.
So sick of the apparent disregard and the “closed door” treatment we’ve been getting, if only it wasn’t too late to refund US$ 100 for the HoT.dedicated yet boycotting the whole week? LOL ok
Well, dedicated to a point of breaking. They’re still human susceptible to exhaustion and frustration… there’s 60k points, i imagine that didnt come up on its own, surely these guys still played it, albeit minimally whereas myself and some others completely dont play it anymore, even just for getting daily chests… hope that makes sense.

back then, it was a Sceptre/Focus Diamond Skin Elementalist, in full Nomad with Toughness Sigils, omg! you cannot kill it 1v1, you need atleast 3.
Not sure now though, on the rework on the diamond skin trait…
One thing i hated the most:
So in the old maps, there would be players that will nag you in TS to defend an objective cause he has upgraded the thing the whole day/night and sieged it up… meaning he spent his gold, badges, time to do it, which in turn gives a sense of ownership… which would have a personal attachment to it, of sorts.
All of that is lost now, since no one has to lift a finger for these objectives to upgrade.
What I recommended was that keep the upgrade system as it was, just remove the gold and reduce badge cost. How difficult was it to just remove the gold, why they had to replace it with a (for lack of a better term) stupid system, is beyond me.
Auto upgrades sure sounds nice, but who wants ramming down fortified gates (i didnt even think it was possible to fortify a gate LOL) every single morning? >.<
Anet’s logic. If it isn’t broken, fix it till it’s broken.
LMAO so true.
“What should we mess up next? Need to get those whiners in WvW section all riled up again..”
who the heck cares about WvW lol.
dev’s dont care, why should you?
lol maybe u clicked refresh
I think this is where Supply Drop guild upgrades would be beneficial.
It would be nice to test this on Eternal Battlegrounds.
This concept would really turn this into an Eternal Battlegrounds as a zerg/team will have to allot people to defend/scout and repair.
Which makes the attrition into another territory good, and will then give the defending team an advantage.
Props to you for thinking about this
Tbh, BnS is something new… so it’s shiny.
WvW has been so frustrating to play that it’s a challenge just logging in to the game to just get daily chests. I have lost all taste and faith in GW2…
Until they fix WvW ENTIRELY (and not the bull update they planned for tomorrow, then i wont be coming back anytime soon.)
Good point.
WvW Rewards are so lame, that i resort to spamming DS for good stuff.
I mean, if they’re okay giving out humongous rewards in the 4 new HOT maps, i wonder why they didnt do the same for the new HOT WvW Map…?
Guess you can really tell where their priorities are.
(Sorry… Trying not to be negative, but i’m so fed up with the lack of proper attention and comms from anet.
I’ve only played this for a year and a half, but have logged over 4,000 hours in WvW
ive moved to BnS and it will take a big update to try and win me back…
So far, BnS is getting all my $$, too bad anet lost a guy that spends $$ for FashionWars2. I’m a good customer…)
Guildchat Video
“We have a lot of things for WvW bla bla bla” (flipping thru pages)
Looks at one page the whole time.
…seems legit to me…
Give me $100 and don’t expect anything in return.
lol i have 208 pcs, it was also my dream to have a full stack of it
(pic from Gw2 Efficiency since i cant login atm, at work)
Mike O Brien is a clueless $&@(&*!@
Ever since i saw that video of him saying WvW = PvE = Love, i just lost all respect for ANET as a whole.
Suppose a server chat should be implemented…
Like, across all maps, you can chat with everyone from say, FC only, or BG only, or FA only…
Has a timeout of idk, maybe 10 minutes or something to avoid spamming
A one-time-blast-message for when your EBG Keep needs help or something..
Or
Guild Recruitment for Server Specific…
Siege Cmd Spoons are Exotic, it adds to the exotic loot table, hence it messes up your chances of getting exotic stuff, instead of probably a precursor, u get a spoon…
Hence why they nerfed it.
But, come to think of it, i havent really gotten any exotic drops in WvW since HoT…
Seems like conspiracy to me.
Hey Rum, Tyrandis here…
you can find her using her handle (majimajic)
When youre online too, you can just simply type /join Jazzion or /squadjoin Jazzion so you get auto invited in to their party and start talking to her.
First thing i read on the updates and my head just went…
“Right, that’s what’s causing players to leave the game, finally its fixed, and people can now start returning”
so many kittens being hurled around… PETA will have a field day.
the lord has RI i think, from the blue flames surrounding him,,,
i would sooner see a unicorn excreting rainbows than find this so called “anet logic” imho.
They wanted to give us a lot of freedom. With advanced gliding and enough effort you can go anywhere in the zone. ;o If they add more over time then awesome. XD Orrr we can add it ourselves.
OMG Please send me a guild invite. I want to fly around Lost Precipice but lazy to copy your spiral… haha
10,000 drinks. Anet think we are bots, we might as well be bots.
LMAO.
IDK who in ANET comes up with the attainable goals crap, maybe its the same guy that came up with the WvW Achievements LOL
These people…
The guild upgrades was…… well…. there’s no other way to say it, shady as hell. That’s like graduating college and then waking up one day to find out you have to repeat from 7th grade on up. It’s just plain soulless and deceptive of them. New upgrades should have been exactly that, new upgrades. Not taking away the existing upgrades, locking them behind massive grinds, and calling them new. That’s a scam. When any other company in any other industry tries pulling that crap, they end up having to pay out millions of dollars from the inevitable class action lawsuits, or get shut down outright for deceptive business practices. At the very least, whoever was in charge would get fired, and made the scapegoat for the public. But….. none of that’s happening here, so it’s just going to be a roller coaster ride down to rock bottom from here. It’s sad, the game that had the most potential out of any game on the market when it was released was absolutely brutalized by consistent horrible design decisions post launch. At this point, if it dies, it would be a mercy killing.
yes, i want to have a stern word with that person who thought that we should back-track our progress when we’ve unlocked our crap already by unlocking them again behind a gold sink.
I have read about this in the forums a lot. I’m not sure what’s happening, but I don’t have Lag when Oasis event is on-going. Weird.
