Guild Wars 2

How is playing a sceptre/torch Mesmer with endless clones and lots of invisibility skills abusing broken mechanic? They are perfectly legitimate skills and actually takes a fair bit if skill to use the build.

You say one thing but your just a bad loser, I come up against many necromancers some more skilled than others and I don’t really find them fun to fight but I certainly won’t alt f4 or refuse to fight them.

Anet left us Mesmer’s with very little options when it came to condition based builds because of whiners like you who come and rage on the forums because they can’t dominate every class.

Just don’t play WvW until devon carver get’s his head out of his rear end and wakes up.

Keep playing and doing nothing and it will never change.

I have a support ticket in #149708

The game is crashing randomly and prompting me to send a report to ArenaNet. All drivers are up to date.

I haven’t played in over a month but when i was last in WvW it doesn’t matter if the zerg is around you or not, There can be a 3 way fight at Mendons and you will feel the lag down at Klovan.

It got progressively worse and will continue to get worse, Will they ever fix it? I very much doubt it

I SOOOO saw this coming.

The anticipation and excitement waiting for this game to release was unbelievable, When it finally did it was ‘An Anti Climax’.

1 year down the line and Anet have utterly kitten d GW2, The crazy zergs in WvW, The skill delay, The lack of rewards for defending where all issues that eventually would have made me stop playing however it was the addition of Ascended items that finally did it for me and haven’t logged in since. I still check in on these forums occasionally in the hope that Anet has seen the light.

Sad really, the high hopes i had for this game

Alright this is my last post in the WvW Forum ever until the skill lag is fixed.

Did they fix skill lag?

Reasons for leaving.

1 – WvW The direction it was heading, The horrible skill lag/zerg fests/the lack of rewards for defending.

2 – The addition of ascended items.

Whether you NEED Ascended gear or not is irrelevant, It was added for the sole purpose of keeping people grinding for longer and spending more RL money to buy gems or convert to gold.

Despite what Anet says, Once people have achieved all that they will without doubt add more useless stuff to keep you grinding like a robot and dipping into your wallet.

A new Dev Team

Peow peow.2189:

leave guild wars 2 all together and possibly play Wow or some other mmo

Anet won’t do anything about it, Hell they are probably bathing in all the money they are making off all the server transfers.

Get out now while you can or stay and be tortured with failed patch after failed patch.

Is Anet actually listening?
Yes to whatever NCSoft tells them

Does Anet really care?
Only about your $$$$$

Don’t expect gw2 to be anything like gw1 because you will be severely disappointed, Gw2 has it’s fair share of positives but they are far outweighed by it’s negatives.

2 words for gw2 “anti climax”

Couple of months from now Devon will be sat at his desk staring at his P45 wondering where the hell it all went wrong

Because they don’t give a rats kitten about WvW, All they care about is eSports and PvE and how much money they can make out of the 2.

Haven’t logged in since last Friday and don’t intend to in the future unless Anet backtracks on a few additions to the game, And i doubt very much they are going to do that.

LOL do you really think that will be upheld when facing a server like say….SFR

Nope.

Anet will do exactly as they please and the complete opposite of what everyone wants.

There is no compromise.

Definitely the most boring predictable match-up i have ever played in.

Well Well Well….

I have been seriously contemplating whether or not to carry on playing GW2, In fact i deleted 3 of my PVE characters last week and left just 2 of my WvW chars hoping that this game would in some deluded way get better.

If there is no hope for WvW then there is no reason to stay.

15 years from now people will look back and remember GW1 fondly, Sadly this pile of trash won’t be remembered at all.

It’s been that long i can’t remember………Launch maybe!

Don’t believe a word this company says because all they have done from the very beginning is LIE.

World V’s World is already destroyed.

That’s because there is no incentive to defend. You get NOTHING to defend except spare change-like wxp and karma. There literally is no reason to defend, there is more reason to let the ball drop and recap. And for a game where keeping the points you have is equally as important as gaining points from other sources, they sure do a bad job of rewarding the defense.

If you give incentive to defend, you will have the opportunity to kill something that isn’t programmed.

I said this in another thread, and I’ll repeat what I said here for clarity, the issue with rewarding defending currently is a problem with a way the content is built and how it determines participation. Until we solve that problem, we won’t be increasing the rewards for defending because it is far too easy to game the system. That is why escorting Dolyaks is not very rewarding. Once we do solve that, we will make big moves to incentivize defending so that people who are helping out, whether it be escorting yaks, or defending objectives will see more rewards for doing that.

Since the introduction of the ascended materials dropping from keep lords and supervisors you have made wvw even less rewarding for players who Scout/Defend/Escort Dollies. WvW has become even more of a zerg fest with people desperate to get those drops, It’s just not fun anymore.

If your not in the zerg you get nothing.

Is this build purely 1v1 dueling because it seems lame at anything more?

Cactus and Colly, graphics have nothing to do with server side lag. The server doesn’t push any graphics to your machine.

No but is all stress on Anets server trying to compute everything, I never said anything about it being client side.

Read again.

Graphics has nothing, absolutely nothing at all to do with the server lag, OR client lag for that matter. All it affects is your own FPS, which is completely independent of the skill lag.

The server does not compute graphics. In fact, it probably doesn’t even have a dedicated graphics card in it.

There is a thread somewhere that a dev replied to stating that large scale fights and all the skill effects and AOE played a part in the “skill delay” issue and the load on the servers CPU being able to compute all that info.

So maybe it’s that DEV you need to tell Read Again

There is no fun in zerging IMHO because it involves little skill, I’m not saying that people in a Zerg have no skill but the fight becomes that chaotic that targeting is non existent and you just end up tabbing and spamming. Not only that but blobs attract blobs and also causes skill delay, It’s just not my idea of fun.

I prefer small group fights or solo roaming/scouting.

No.

Anet will add it regardless even if your poll read Yes 1% No 99%

Cactus.2710:

What I don’t understand, though, is what the hell ANet keeps doing that makes it worse. It’s not like were seeing more players in WvW than we did right after they removed culling, but skill lag certainly has gotten worse and it even spills out into PvE.

All these fancy Bling Animations and skill effects/aura’s/flashing weapons all in one place at one time.

That coupled with a server probably manufactured by Alba.

1. Anet doesn’t care
2. They haven’t got a clue how to fix it
3. Anet doesn’t care
4. Keep saving your pocket money as there maybe an “anti skill delay stone in the gem store soon”
5. Anet doesn’t care

And the prize for double teaming servers of the year goes to drumroll Sfr+Elona

Why bother defending?
Why bother escorting Dollies?
Why bother scouting?

Anet has made it that all the rewards go to those that are in the zerg.

I’m seriously getting tired of Pikens “Only play when we are winning attitude”

Agreed, People are really losing faith in this game and Anet and with the failed patches of late if these Leagues go belly up then it could well be the final nail in the coffin.

You think it’s bad now wait until these leagues start.

They are Clutching At Straws

Welcome to the future of MMO’s…Only problem is Anet’s hardware is from 1970’s

They added cool new Ascended gear to craft but by the time you have geared your main and your alts you could have made/bought a legendary.

If i had already left i sure as hell wouldn’t return in the games current state but you need to decide for yourself.

WvW was already in the dustbin but this addition to the game has put the lid on that dustbin and thrown it on the tip.

This game is a finely polished product, What’s this skill lag you speak of?

As someone already stated above, Anet couldn’t care less whether or not WE enjoy the leagues, They don’t care if there is skill delay or whether or not lower ranked servers get rofl stomped by higher populated servers.

What they DO care about is the big $$ they will make from players and guilds transferring from server to server.

Ins.7139:

We just rolled in a train for 9 hours against Gandara & AM and ended up with 460 Fragments and 260 Dragonite Ore ….. lol one more day and be done

Sadly that is all WvW amounts to now, Join the zerg or gtfo.

Notice how these patches focus on making $$ foremost and keeping grinding? They couldn’t give a rats kitten about the rest.

Yea, one of the selling points and attractions to GW2 was that it was NOT a grindfest. But they seem to be going back on that, so what’s the point in playing GW2 over others MMOs?

And it still isn’t, no grinding required to play all the content of this game, unlike other MMOs.

Wrong…again.

Actually eisberg.2379 is correct, there isn’t a game content that require Ascended Weapon or heavy grind to do, and every update living world event is open to anyone and everyone, every grindy content (i.e.Legendary, Ascended gear) they are all optional.

The only content that I can think of which require gear check is “high” level fractals, which is totally optional, and low level fractal is still open to anyone.

And its the same in other MMOs therefore he is wrong. But he has been explained that same thing at least 10 times by now soooo….

Soo, if I get it right then MMO = Grind.
Then those who do not like are playing a genre they don’t like?

People where drawn to this game because it was stated that this game would be “Different” than all other MMO’s in that there would be no need to grind “To Quote Mike Obrien, We don’t make grindy games”

So it’s not that people don’t like the Genre or the Grindy, They just don’t like being sold a product that will involve no grind when it is the complete opposite.

Even though Anet seriously needs to reduce the amount of Zerging in WvW they just keep on encouraging it patch after patch after patch.

It is even encouraging double teaming lower ranked servers for easy keep and tower caps to keep the supply of dragonite flowing.

I think it’s time they looked for another WvW Dev team.

You really think this company is going to give us Guild Halls?

This game holds nothing remotely related to Guild versus Guild, Hell i don’t even know why it’s called “Guild Wars 2”

You might be in luck if it was something they could add to the Gem Store otherwise “Dream On”

Sorry to be so negative in your thread but this game hardly inspires confidence.

Anet’s hardware is inferior.

Haha, Anet also said this would be a finely polished product at release.

Logging into the game feels like a chore now and not fun, And for wvw if roaming and scouting was not rewarding before it’s even less rewarding now. If your not in the zerg you get left behind.

It’s such a shame that this game goes from bad to worse patch after patch.
