This game has gone the way Anet stated that it never would when we first found out about the gem store, and that is “Pay2Win”.

Can you explain that abit nothing talked about in this thread make the game p2w.

Well just look at the way the gem store as escalated with this kind of stuff that players worked hard to get byplaying the game, look how easy it has made for instance to make “Fractal capacitor infused” or the Spinal blades back.

There are T6 crafting matts in there, ecto’s, booster items, and it WILL get worse.

Don’t you have to hit dodge to trigger ambush.

It isn’t going to happen!

They sold us all this kittene and we fell for it.

This is a bad idea because it’s going to cause massive queues with pve players taking up spots that could be filled by people actually wanting to play wvw.

Also there will be people unable to test the elite specs because of said queues.

It’s all gone Korean!

Because they love thief.

Mounts will be added to WvW there is no 2 ways about it, Gliding is here and we never thought it would be. The PVE base are taking over.

They add mounts to WvW and i won’t step foot in that game mode again, it’s getting beyond ridiculous.

I tried to join squad at reset and as usual it was closed, I had my necro and had the build and was also on TS but refuse to continue with this whisper the commander the password builshit.

If being on TS isn’t good enough then fine i will not join the zerg.

Mounts where not needed and is just another korean influence on this game.

Sadly this is just the way it is and it’s the same on my server where the squad will be invite only and the password is spoken on TS and if your not on TS to hear it and whisper it to commander then you don’t get an invite. You also don’t get an invite if your not of a specific class and build.

It does come back to bite the commanders in the ass though because when there are not enough people to fill a squad and the commander is shouting open TAG in chat they get quite irate when people won’t join, and they wonder why?.

Thanks gaile!

Your the best communications manager by far even if there is only one of you.

Dragon.8762:

Just fix the WvW lag. Thats the only thing I care about.

^This

It has gotten worse and worse as time and updates go by, skill lag used to only happen when 3 zergs met but now it’s even when 2 meet.

Please no mounts, there is already too much PvE fluff in WvW as it is.

@CrimsonIce

Well said \o/

trailofsalt.6571:

I don’t believe WvW should have the same skin as raid armor. They’re for raids. What would be the point of that?

• WvW’ers… we have stat swapping armor now. Be happy. Rejoice.

Raider’s goto raids to enjoy the game mode they enjoy while farming for their legendary armor which involves a lot of commitment in that game mode plus i’m guessing a hell of a lot of crafting materials taboot.

WvW players are doing exactly the same and expected to give the same amount of commitment to WvW and shell out a similar amount of crafting materials.

Seems reasonable to me.

Okhu.7948:

Or go raid and earn the PvE skin like every other person who raids. They give you what you’ve been asking for and you still find some way to complain about it.

Stand in one spot cycling through skills with some pre-defined script while some eliteist’s are scanning what gear i have and telling me what dps they expect and what to do and when to do it. No thanks!!

Fade.5904:

with these costs WvW should get the same skin as PVE

Agreed, either lower the time and cost for the current version or keep the time and cost the way it is now but give us the same skins as pve legendary.

The devs did say that if it turned out to do more harm than good they would basically remove it again.

I personally think it has no place in WvW.

I’m having the same lag spikes ever since the living story patch, Sirens landing is by far the worst map to play on but it has also extended to older maps.

The forums are slow and occasionally the TP takes longer to load than normal, since the latest patch the launcher takes ages to login whereas usually it’s almost instant.

Something definitely isn’t right.

They tried the map population route after complaints about the lag/skill delay and it helped slightly but then players complained about queues and they reverted it. I doubt they will go down that route again.

If your talking about Conditon damage + Condition duration there is “sweet bean buns” but they are quite expensive.

I am also experiencing this and it puts me off staying on that map because it’s so bad.

New Video up o/
I will just keep using this Thread, so i don’t spam topics here x)

Hmm…I get “this video is unavailable”

beatthedown.2651:

Regarding condi or hybrid roaming builds I want to add some input too since I tried out a lot.

They really forced SB for hybrid builds with the nerf of sharpened edges. But SB is still garbage. You may catch people by surprise a few times, but it still can’t hold up to LB in WvW. Anet also tried to make axe viable, what a joke.

This one was great until the SE nerf. Dunno if it still works. Only build that could hurt this one was a niche weakness spam thief. If you want to annoy a certain dh roamer/streamer, give it a shot.

Looks like an interesting build and also similar to one i liked in the past but a lot more tankier which is nice. Why the 2 handed training in beastmastery line though?

Fluffball.8307:

Colly.4073:

Yes I would love to know of a decent condition build too please, if there is anything viable?

The old s/t a/d build is absolutely viable. The only problem is mobility. AF generation is a piece of cake.

SB is pretty good these days too. I even went so far as to make an ascended short bow. :O

TY! Fluffball

anduriell.6280:

i love this thread shadowpass!

Any advise for a condi build for wvw (it doesn’t need to be full condi) roaming with a decent AF generation?

Yes I would love to know of a decent condition build too please, if there is anything viable?

Nice vid and play, do you still use the LB/axe swd build with healing power? If so can you repost the build because the thread that had that build seemed to disappear.

Appologies if it wasn’t you that posted that build.

Keep up the good work.

It’s too late in the day for the devs to resurrect WvW and i think Anet has now resigned themselves to that fact.

They are even struggling to keep up with PvE content.

So what is this condi ranger build that is supposedly top cake?

The only 2 builds i know of are the trapper which is not that good and Justine’s longbow build which used to be good but anet ruined it in the recent balance.

Enjoyed the story albeit very short and the final fight was challenging but not frustrating this time.

I didn’t like the new map but that’s just my personal opinion, layered maps to me are frustrating to navigate and make me not want to continue. I get that some people enjoy them which is fine.

I just hope there isn’t going to be an extended delay like the last time.

The build of Lazarus and the way he floats just above the ground, It could even be an Exalted under there

mykemyk.7456:

This is weird becuase I have done this numerous times and nothing happens. I have ran through them and nothign pops up etc.

They cannot be targeted so just run up to them and keep pressing f, you will get the achievement and then you can start the quest.

Mesmer get’s screwed over at every single patch so i’m not surprised this time.

You cannot even compare the state of Mesmers to the state of Revenants at the moment.

Hmm i didn’t compare Mesmer’s state to the state of Revenant’s and btw i think your in the wrong forum.

Mesmer get’s screwed over at every single patch so i’m not surprised this time.

Thanks for that, you obviously know how to play mesmer very well to run a glassy build like that and still make it look so easy.

Nice job on those portal stomps too i can never seem to pull those off for some reason.

Some insane burst there! well played

Do you mind sharing the builds used?.

I loved the story it is really well put together, the map is beautiful and i like how you can stop to admire how nice it is without being ganked by mobs every few steps.

I didn’t enjoy the final fight, the space is too confined and the camera goes mental especially if your a light class that needs to keep moving and use mobility skills such as a mesmer. It just wasn’t a fun encounter for me.

This last fight is not even fun, fighting in such a confined space with the camera going haywire all through the fight and so much aoe and timed counter magic is just frustrating.

No skill will get you through this fight only luck, it’s just badly designed.

Anet set themselves a deadline months ago for this patch, A couple of hours power outage on Monday isn’t going to make that much of a difference this close to release.

Someone kittened up!

Anet couldn’t give a rat’s kitten about skill lag or even WvW for that matter.

If it isn’t affecting Anet’s beloved eSports then they couldn’t care less.

Anet happened to WvW.

This game mode is never going to get any better and no matter how much they change things up, delete/merge servers, your always going to end up with stale match up’s.

Sorry but PvP badges are earned in PvP and that is where they should stay.

Legendaries are earnt in PvE and that’s where they should stay. They’re also produce a lot more visual clutter than a static badge next the name.

Do you see how logical that is? Neither do I. Seems like a logical idea to cater to everyone by adding a toggle button.

(I’m annoyed but actually thankful I don’t need to sit in 20 min ques for ranked anymore)

WvW ranks stay in WvW so why should PvP be any different?

Sorry but PvP badges are earned in PvP and that is where they should stay.

Queen of FA.7398:

The Triumphant hero armor is a wvw track, each time you complete it you can choose 1 piece from it. Unless you got confused and meant legendary armor?

There are 2 versions of the triumphant armor “Normal” and “Hero”

The hero version looks better than the normal but hasn’t been released yet.

Nice fight’s there and also some nice video editing.

The only thing i am not keen on is the way you add text’s on the screen especially when it’s mocking the person your fighting.

other than that well done

Server linking was voted a success by all the servers that where linked and are now winning.

And this is now going to be a permanent fixture?

Every match we are constantly out manned by linked servers and it’s just boring.
