Too experiment if they just didn’t read the forums I reported a post of someone who made a simple, straightforward, quality of life improving suggestion like this and that person got infracted, even though there was nothing wrong with the post :P
Lol wvw is amazing if you guys spvp you realize what a gem we have here. For some reason the extreme balance issues don’t really show in wvw apart from that it is super fun. He is prolly in the forums almost every night just on a player account. I wouldn’t reply to half of the dribble that people put on these forums. I mean these are some of the worst forums ever and not cause the devs or the mods, but the players. If they wanted any good info they have to sift through a ton of bull kitten. It is great that even the special kids have a voice, but how many does this game have 0_o lol.
That sPvP argument is demagogic to say the least. We’re talking about WvW not that failed e-sport
You are .8761 so you probably weren’t even here on those times (notice how many old players have left), but in the months that followed the game launch there wasn’t near as much “dribble” and there were plenty of suggestions for a good WvW, yet the devs were even less responsive than now*. So if we “dribble” so much it’s because they missed their shot months ago, they planted this seeds and now it’s harvest time. Yes, sucks to be them, but they are professionals who did a terrrible job so far.
*maybe because they were too focused on that Living Story kitten… that’s not an excuse, there are far better PvE games out there (including f2p), anyone playing GW2 for PvE clearly doesn’t know many MMOs, WvW is what makes GW2 unique… until Camelot Unchained launches
I kinda agree with Anet’s approach in not making that information available. If it were available than the game would soon become (even more?) based on numbers and statistics and not on player skill, like many other crappy games out there. This way we have to experiment and choose for ourselves what works best and what build/wtv we use
Looking forward to one more livestream with that guy with glasses showing us the use of masteries that a serious player would find useful once in a blue moon and that are easily countered by any 7 year old, just make sure to hit the krait this time!
What are these real issues you speak of? Most are random QQ’ers which is prevalent on all MMO forum sites.. Aside from performance issues like server lag, etc. Only legitimate gripe I have heard are the need for new map styles.
I seriously doubt that any daytime SFR player know what it means to be hopelessly outnumbered. SFR is a super stacked WvWvW oriented server. You have the numbers to be #1.
I leveled my main character almost exclusively in WvW because there was always a karma-train going when the game launched. Plus, back in those days everyone was upleveled, therefore it didn’t make a difference if you were one too. Nowadays, if you are upleveled in WvW you are likely to die, even in a zerg (where you rallybot enemies)
So I wouldn’t advise leveling in WvW unless you don’t mind riding the karma-train around and around and feeling “glass-cannon w/o the cannon” for quite some time. Oh and your gear matters much, so buy karma gear if you really need to
Yes the drop rate was nerfed to oblivion, our dear Anet hasn’t told us anything as usual, not if it was intended nor the reasons behind it
Most AC’s are AoE’d off walls, most cannons are easily destroyed, most burning oils are easily destroyed, ballistas have horrible line of sight problems
Cata mastery is the only siege mastery worth it if you don’t like to wait
10 man is cutting it tight with zerging. 30man is just an lol attempt by guilds to pretend that what they are doing is organized pvp and not zerging.
What’s the point? 30 man, 100 man are all zergs favoring bad game play. It’s bad enough we have professions carrying bad players (thieves) and now we want to reward more and more zerging?
Any time you go beyond a 5man group -due to AOE limitations- you step into the zerg and mindless gaming.
The future should be now though…. this has been complained about for 9 months (I’ve only played for that long. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a day 1 issue). I realize things move slowly, but you’ve been here for 5 months you said? And all we have to show for it is WXP chests and a poorly implemented WXP skill system.
At some point things need to happen now instead of constantly using Blizzard’s ’SOON’tm where soon is any period from 3 months from now to never, but certainly never now..
There are some big things we will be talking about in the next few weeks that should hopefully help you to understand what we’ve been working on. If that doesn’t satisfy you, well… “I’ve got a ball, perhaps you would like to bounce it.”
Although it’s great that Anet is finally talking to the WvW community, that comment reminded me of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inePC0E_atg
And then the “big things we will be talking about in the next few weeks” will probably be new masteries and other rather worthless stuff. We’re used to being let down.
“Now, we’re not dissing the last round of online games. We can’t – we worked on a lot of them: titles like World of Warcraft, Everquest 1 and 2, Warhammer Online, City of Heroes, Free Realms, Diablo II, StarCraft. We’ve also had our hands in some other games you might recognize, like Fallout, Metroid Prime, and…well, you get the point.”
GW2 is funded by NCSoft, Wildstar is funded by NCSoft. The big company with the money (NCSoft, not Anet nor Carbine) makes the rules
the rank up chests have decent loot in them, including chances for precursors.
This is the biggest lie i have ever hear from a dev!
i’m wvw rank 70,50 and 30 and i cannot even remember the last time i got a rare or even getting an exotic from it at all!
i can just go to the queens pavallion get kittenloads of exotics,rares and Levels in just 1 hour, meanhile in wvw i can work 1 hour for 1 rank and get just 2 kittenty greens from my rankup chest worth intotal 1,5 silver
I think Devon was talking about people with a lot of Magic Find. Because it’s not a problem to kitten your build completely and be terribad at fighting just to get better loot… at least it’s not a problem in easy/PvE mode
Here’s the thing to remember, it may buff the better servers for a time, but if it is relatively easy to take from a better server, it isn’t going to cause nearly the same problems that the original buff did. I will say that when this goes back into the game, we’ll continue to monitor the effects and make changes as necessary.
Just make them an instant buff or some cool eye-candy, don’t let them affect the scores. Otherwise, the “nightcapping” problem will just be increased
So, as always, make good suggestions in a positive way and you’ll see changes.
People have been making VERY good suggestions for nearly an entire year now, and the number of changes in WvW can be counted on one hand.
People are fed up with WvW being neglected, and this is the reason people are critical of the Devs. It has nothing to do with “hating” as the OP childishly puts it.
You are the reason the wvw forums have less posts than the other forums. People like you who judge others so harshly. “Childishly?” Who are you to judge how others choose to speak? I would kindly ask you to leave the forums and never come back.
Most of what the forums put out in terms of criticism comes across as mindless hate. You need to take some time off the game if this is what the forums bring out in you.
Your entire post is nothing but a personal attack because I disagreed with your opinion, and you say that I bring down the forum? /facepalm
Shoosh he’ll be a brilliant politician someday. They also like to talk about who started the topic instead of the actual topic.
SFR really ? Its a shame what you guys have done on viz BL
I mean 2 guilds with 35+ each for 15 GoD few INVI and few pugs.
Think that says pretty much about your skills and ours
Next time I will tell those people not to play, because it’s clearly their fault that Deso had so few numbers.
Knowing if you put something new there or just make it a simple flat surface? Stuff like that could be interesting. Not the release dates.
He’s right Devon, we waited for so many years for GW2 to be ready, sure some complained but in the end we prefered to have it decent than rushed like many games
As a Necromancer that knows how to use my class, I find threads complaining about thieves rather funny. Dark pact. Well of Suffering, Well of Corruption, F1 Deathshroud, go immediately to life transfer. If the thief tries and get away, hit 2 ability, warp on top of him. Engage with Necrotic bite and Enfeebling blood.
And boom, dead thief. Thieves in WvW are almost always glass cannon (since they have to try and one shot you to be successful). For even a moderately skilled Necro they are ridiculously easy to kill. The trick is to not get ambushed and to hit Dark pact before dropping the wells and then be in Death Shroud when they try and get away.
Your solution is to have everyone play a necro? O.o
Apart from the ocasional skill lag/normal lag, zerg vs zerg doesn’t necessarily mean that there is no skill involved. In my server a PUG group remotely organized (around a commander) can frequently defeat enemy PUG zergs and challenge guild groups. How? Because they know what to do, we have many WvW guilds so many of them have plenty of fighting experience
Smart people don’t just press 1 in a fight, they use their skills, they dodge, they stick together, they regroup, they heal and support eachother, they survive, they kill the enemy, they win
A PUG group doesn’t necessarily mean a group of untrained monkeys running behind a blue commander tag. Usually it means that in lower tiers, and that is part of the reason why they are in lower tiers (coverage plays a big role too)
Vabbi can make a 30 man group, but SFR’s 15 man group can easily wipe them if they are PvE scrubs used to only autoattacking mobs and facesmashing their keyboards
And it’s not just SFR, there are plenty of servers like that
There’s also more to do in WvW. Join a guild and get those small/mid-scale goods fights where everyone is (hopefully) coordinated, roam, scout or defend
If Hugh or someone from Anet happens to stumble on this thread, we’re sorry if were “too vague” in our humble request; WvW-suggestions subforum means that there should be a subforum in the Suggestions forum and that that subforum should be dedicated to World versus World, with the purpose of better organization and giving World versus World suggestions more visibility
My server enjoyed weeks of not having Vizunah for once but we’re not quite improving cause educating the pugs is not easy cause it’s s just too easy to Karma train at night.
SFR had them for the past week and their meta of 80 man blobs wasn’t fun for us either, we have to take turns taking care of the awkward ginger kid of WvW
