Guild Wars 2

Nerf the Romans for inventing the turtle formation

Well time for SR to wake up and clean the house like usual

Lord Rhett.9360:

Especially since you can’t port to a keep that’s under attack.

No it’s not, try reading the first post

Ain’t nobody got time fo dat!

Toble.2968:

I would assure your guild members to continue play and remind them about the halloween pve content. Everyone needs a break from WvW.

How about no?

“We’ll release the game when it’s ready.”

In EB red is better, treb(s) on the garrison (or on Anzalias) can hit SM

Blue can place a treb in Durios

NOTE: only outer wall ofc

Why the hell is PvG (Player vs Gate) worth as much as PvP?

:lol:

To start off: Yes, people in different time zones or with unusual shifts should be able to play when they want to and still make a difference, anyone suggesting to shut down the servers for X time/make night capping irrelevant should be hit with a cactus and sent to North Korea.

But a commercial in prime-time TV doesn’t cost the same as a commercial during the night. Also keep in mind that we’re talking about European/American prime-times (thus the division between continents). Someone who plays during prime-time should be treated differently (and not ignored) then someone who plays during other times. 1 AM isn’t equal to 21 PM, that’s life. Hey blame the sun and the fact that we need to regain energy.

For me, while people have EVERY right to play and contribute when they want to, they should not expect that contribution to be as meaningful as the contribution of those who fought at prime-time, organized themselves, done PvP against a lot of enemies and sometimes even died. I’m not saying that the “night” contribution (to leave things simple) should be irrelevant compared to the “day” contribution, only that what requires 2 hours to achieve during prime-time should take like 4 hours while most people are sleeping/working.

The effort made by a group of people made during prime-time to conquer something cannot be equal to the effort made by a group of people who wake up early to PvG (Player vs Gate).

There isn’t a simple solution, here’s what I propose:

The easiest solution would be to make the points acquired during the day worth more than those acquired during the night. Maybe dividing the day into two portions of 12 hours each: one from 0:00 to 12:59 in the morning and another from 13:00 to 23:59 (CEST is the most embracing timezone for Europe I think, no idea about NA).

From what I understand, there’s a formula where more karma/xp is given the more a person participates in an event, so another solution would be to apply a similar formula to WvW, so that a realm gains points based on the amount of fighters from the other realms, something like this:

RP – Points won every 15 minutes by the red world
C – Supply Camps
T – Towers
K – Keeps
G – number of green realm players
B – number of blue realm players

RP = (C x 5 + T x 4 + K x 3) x G/100 x B/100

(Borderlands formula, in Eternal Battlegrounds it’d be different)

Warning: I’m kitten at math, this is just an example xD

There are of course other issues that need to be solved:

- Orbs: the bonus given is just too big, and once a server collects all three orbs then WvW starts being like a snowball (aka steamrolling), with the team in possession of the orbs having an easier fight. In some (many?) cases, the orbs are lost during the night, so they are each day’s objective. Either decrease those bonuses or, probably better, replace them with the outmanned buff. Players would seek the orbs in order to have more magic find and karma (the xp buff would also help new players/alts leveling through PvP, something somewhat useful)

Also, having the orb buff in NPC’s would help against nightcapping (Warning: also affects the change mentioned earlier, so be careful with balancing. Also, the NPC’s should only be a little stronger, not completely stopping a night raid)

Another option is to make NPC’s stronger/more numerous (if I remember correctly the tier 3 structural upgrades are more effective and costly than the personnel upgrades: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Structure_upgrade). However imho that would be just a patch instead of a more lasting solution.

Note: read “night” as “morning” or “any other unusual time”.

If you support these ideas just post in this topic so there’s a better chance ArenaNet reads it^^

Well it doesn’t help that they put Seafarer’s Rest up against two german servers, so besides having more ppl they always double team us

The orb buff is just silly

I can use a cannon without having proper training, yet a NPC specialized in guarding a keep night and day can’t push a single button, kitten me right?

I’m lucky and my Medium-populated server (Seafarer’s Rest) is doing pretty good against two Highly-populated servers (Abbadon’s Mouth [DE] and Fort Ranik [FR]), during most of the day we usually controlled more than 50%-60% of the map, all thanks to our hard work^^

Sure, during the night we’ll lose some fully upgraded keeps, but kitten that, we’ll just make some more money by stomping frenchies and germans xD

Imo the WvW problems are: retaliation (no use having arrowcarts when they are destroyed just by attacking a zerg); orbs (the advantage starts to snowball after a team captures more than one); nightcapping (no real difference from daily rounds since the stupid NPC’s -even upgraded – keep being weaklings that can’t defend from a siege)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/WvW-Can-t-damage-the-Red-Blue-Green-garrisson-keep-lord

ArenaNet is already aware

I remember that the icon of the buff is the same as the icon of the buff that the Legendary Defenders (mobs inside the spawn area) have, a blue sword with black outlines in a blue background (similar to the guardian)

The Unshakable is the yellow one if I remember correctly, it’s a buff that prevents stuns and other forms of CC, so it may be WAI (the boss is supposed to be strong after all :P)

Thanks for the quick response JasonKing^^

Yes, there is a problem with GW2 and TS3 overlay. Here’s the solution tho: http://booncontrol.com/threads/ts3-overlay-with-no-graphics-problems.4116/

For the second day in a row, Seafarer’s Rest sieged an enemy garrisson (the keep North of the lake) and – after facing heavy resistance – breached the inner gate. However when we got to the boss room he has that blue buff saying we can’t damage him like if he was a legendary defender. So we were trapped inside and slowly slaughtered like pigs

I don’t know if this happens on other servers too or wtv, but just fix it pls

WvW rounds temporarily last for 1 day, so there is no reason to waste money fortifying keeps and little reason to play this game during an unknown period of time
