Guild Wars 2

yeah, markers are great and all but they do not serve the purpose “squad wide targeting”

Not sure about that, never played gw1. Seriously tho if Anet add squad targeting system it can really help out 15-20 man groups and in GvGs as well. It can actually show some hope to the players that anet or wvw devs actually care about 15-20 man groups xD

You could place the target on someones head but you cant hit “T” to automatically target that person. You have to look for the player and click thousand time. A squad wide targeting system could make it so much easier. With party targeting you get a red target over the persons or objects head. I would like to see same thing with squad targeting maybe you could get like a yellow target. you know what i mean

We have the markers and we have targeting within your party. I think there needs to have a option to target for your whole squad. I know markers are suppose to be like “squad targeting” but it just isnt as good as how the targeting work in party. If Arena Net could implement a squad targeting system in which if the driver or anyone in the squad target someone everyone should be able to target that one person just like party targeting. If it sounds op like really op. Anet can just limit to first 3 or first 4 parties in the squad. It can help out fight guilds a lot and aid in GvG a lot.

Its been a week since canons are out. Can we remove them already? or just take whatevee poll there is and have them removed?

WvW needs better rewards not just the reward track. Current if you win a matchup all you get is a chest that shouldnt be the case. If a server wins a match up everyone who participated that week should get lile 100 gold and some exotics with a fair chance of getting ascended item.

Currently fractals has the option to buy ascended gear. Why doesnt WvW has the option to buy ascended armor/weapon. In my opinion you need ascended gear a lot more in WvW than PvE.

If you are outnumbered you should get gold for defending objectives. It could be somewhere from 5-15 gold depending on the obj.
Camp- 5g
Tower-10g
Keep-15g

If there are players running yak to help upgrade objective they should get 20 silver from each run. If there are players who are killing yaks and preventing objective from upgrading they should get 10 silver if there is no one defending but if there is someone defending then 50 silver.

Dragonstand, Auric Basin, Tangled Depth, and Verdinct Brink can we have these map reward track permanently available??? I really hate going to pve maps and having to farm the meta. Its really boring. I rather be in WvW put the reward track on and enjoy killing players.

This is just an idea. WvW has the option to buy those hero point scrolls to rank up specializations but can we also have the option to use a different scroll to finish all the heart events in PvE maps because those events arw really boring and annoying. Those hearts are literally the reason people dont do map completion nor get legendary qq.

Who even are you? Why do you exit?

Exactly, players dont have that kind of passion for WvW since HoT came out.

Players never had that kind of passion tbh… That’s why we always have server exoduses.

Yeah… I want that old WvW where everyone was willing to push up tiers and come out to fight… not just sit inside towers and siege hump… I want that old WvW back cries

Jayne.9251:

I can’t speak for everyone, but I’d be perfectly fine losing by a tiny margin. It would mean that next week, adjust your strat, you’d have that 33% chance of winning. It would engage more players and solidify the need for team vs individual. It would give meaning to wins, which are meaningless now.

The average player these days don’t care about all that. It’s just win or nothing. That’s why badwagoners exist in the first place and nobody want to try uphill battles at the lower tiers.

Exactly, players dont have that kind of passion for WvW since HoT came out. The only way to now get it back is by doing a kaboom for current servers and starting new ones. There is a chance it might also bring back the players that have quit because they just lost all interest after HoT.

claytonmorby.3751:

Sigil of nullification triggers on 1 target. It also triggers if there are no boons on the target. What other class besides necro has AoE boon corrupt? Rev has a skill to strip, but revs are spamming resistance.

People have been complaining about conditions since the beginning of the game. In large scale battles in WvW there is so much cleanse it’s ridiculous. I’ve survived getting hit with every single condition in the game, getting corrupted, only to have my allies cleanse and resist them all away.

No one is moaning or crying. People are giving their opinions on game balance. Some people think the amount of boons able to be stacked so easily isn’t very fun to play or play against. The meta we have now is actually stronger than the old stability since old stability was countered by chill, cripple, and immobilize.

Well it can go same with the conditions to be honest almost any class now days can go full condi and do kitten ton of damage without taking any skills. Stacking those boons takes time they dont stack right away like condis do. Mesmer, necro, revs are your friend for boonstrip and if they buff sigil of nullification then that is your friend as well. Also people are moaning and crying about boon duration / condi meta that is right now. Both of them are strong in their own places. And now thiefs thief are also your friend with boon strip so get to know another classes.

A lot of people are on here moaning and crying about boon duration and a lot of us on here like me also cry and moan about conditions being too strong. So I was thinking what if they limit the amount of boons and conditions you can have at a time. Right now it is if there are 10 boons flying around you and 10 conditions you will get them all. What if they limit both to 5? 5 boons at a time and 5 conditions at a time.

With having 5 boons at a time i dont think resistance should be a major issue because it can easily be stripped and with that I think anet can also introduce original stability. Where there was no stacks you just straight up get stab.

With conditions now being so strong and all the boon strip out there I think limiting 5 conditions at a time on someone is pretty fair because its WvW and in fights there are kitten ton of conditions and boon strip. I think this could be one way to control that.

A lot of you guys also there isnt much boon strip well to be honest there is quit a bit to be fair. You can also run sigil of nullification altho i think i can use a buff with the things are currently. Right now sigil of nullification strips a boon with a 60% crit chance on a 10 seconds cool down I think the cd should be 8 seconds or the sigil should strip boon with 30% on hit chance on 5 second cd

This won’t solve anything. It will alienate the loyalists, cause chaos for a couple of months, then be stuck with same issue.

You need to solve bandwaggoning.

Jayne, How exactly will this cause bandwaggoning? you are starting of with 9 servers I think there is enough population to fill each server 80% full once all those servers are 80% full you open 3 more server or raise the population cap for each server.

Are you saying people cannot transfer once they pick? They’re stuck with that choice? If so, can do that now.

Everyone will get 2 free transfers after the kaboom to get with their family/friends/guilds and etc and after transfers should only open when they introduce 3 new servers or raise the pop cap for the server thats doing poorly in a matchup

Imbalanced pop cap is not the solution.
The game used to count only active wvw players and not all players on the server.
As result SFR became the dominant server with queue in all borders on reset night.
With much more total players than the rest.
All servers need same amount of players or they can just scrap ranking alltogether.

I mean if you have an better idea then please tell me because linking hasnt done kitten but killed 2 servers already and many guilds. linking is like a jigsaw puzzle anet is trying to solve and hoping one day they will get it right. by then it will just be too late.. so they are just better to do a kaboom in my opinion and start of with 9 server maybe 12.

At this I honestly feel like anet knows they can save WvW so they are just doing whatever updates they can to show “they care” and make as much money as possible from us WvWers

VaaCrow.3076:

Um, I don’t feel like this at all, I love server linking and what it’s done to wvw as does my guild, it’s linked us with similar servers which contain like minded people. Sure, we don’t fight vs the t1 server but who cares, we never wanted to anyway.

As for anet listening, they removed Desert bl, the only new wvw map since eotm , thats a very large step backwards for them to take given that it was done just to please players who did not like the map. i think it’s pretty clear that the devs do listen, it may just be that certain ideas don’t resonate with them, like destroying existing servers

Server linking might have been great for you/your guild but for most people it hasnt… Recruitment has become tough for WvW guild, Linking has already killed 2 servers, people stacked t1 server even more and much more.

The only way I think population is going to balance itself is by making the current servers go KABOOM and create new servers… have 9 total servers 3 tiers.. lock servers once they get full at 80% and then open 3 new servers… Seriously the way everything is I think linking was a good idea at first but right now it hasnt done nothing but kill 2 servers maybe more…. I will just say its time for kaboom I know a lot of people will say its a bad idea but seriously though this is literally the only way now to fix population issue.. In one of the post before anet also said that they can make all servers go KABOOM and do a fresh start. WvW does need a fresh start.

and I am back from the ban

Still waiting for reset time change poll.. Where we can go back to the original friday night reset time with 9pm est and with day light savings 8pm est.

Taxidriver.2043:

remember the first poll?
WvW Scoring Improvements vs WvW Quality of Life Improvements.

One of the dev said they cant devote time to fix bugs since WvW Scoring Improvements won the poll.

Oh please WvW scoring isnt going to get better with lack of players in WvW.

Teon.5168:

I’d rank the #2 idea in your OP right up there with repair hammers.

Please tell me whats wrong with #2.

did voted like 4 times for no :’)

Anet seriously… Why are you wasting time on making stupid polls like this. We dont care about dumb repair hammers. We want you to work on real things and fix whats wrong with WvW before you add new things.
Take a poll on what should be next thing you guys should work on like few here.

1. Start balancing classes, skills and traits for WvW only.
2. Make major cities like LA, DR, Grove.. etc into server based only for recruitment purposes.
3. If seasons should return or not.
Etc!!!!

Guys leave some ideas or things anet should create polls on beside these dumb repair hammer polls.

WvW isn’t going to be good until there is more infliction of more players.

WvW is kitten and dead compared to what it used to be 3 years ago.

Arena net it’s a humble request. Just for one week can we have the old stability back no stacks or anything, can we please have all the Hot stuff disabled in WvW by all I mean everything specializations, revenant, upgrade system , hot armor / runes seriously just disable all of it give us players one week of old and gold WvW back to relive the memories… please just for weel… I am ready to pay for 50 bucks just to participate in that week…

Since i am getting famous here i am creating this post as a voting post. If you vote for bring back WvW seasons just comment “Yes and the reason why you want it back” and i will add your name to the list.
Yes i want the seasons back because i believe it will bring a lot of players into WvW well not just season the itself but the amazing rewards it will offer players and a good time!

I remember the ktrain went to bed but 15 of us and the great Ajax Blue stayed up and fought the 80 man YB zerg. I’m the nub in guild chat trying to sneak my slow necro past the zerg into the tower to my BMS guildies lol

miss those days on Kaineng, 3 years ago

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0PNbg0VqsA

Yea, I miss some of the old WvW stufff, but I certainly don’t miss Ajax at all. (If it is the same player that I am thinking of)

How could you not like ajax? It never gets old LOL

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaWcAek5_JE

I suppose, if you like running with somebody who has the attitude of an abusive, spoiled 12 year old. The Ajax I remember on Kaineng was a decent wvw’er, but had this whole shtick of abusing everyone in map chat…..it got old in a real hurry….but my guild friends did tell me that it was just an act that he and his little squad ran….and to just ignore him.

I hadn’t seen him on wvw for a long time, until I saw him right after Kaineng got paired up with TC in the linking. I will admit that it was hilarious fun watching him get shut down extremely quick by TC’ers when he started to run his abusive shtick in map chat there.

I swear he was high whIle making that video :,)

Reaper Alim.4176:

All WvW needs is for ANet to throw in a multi-season WvW season event for a WvW Legendary Back Piece. If you was to go into the actually PvP lobby and ask if PvP any and why they are pvping. They follow with.
A.) No PvP is the crap storm of lop sided matchups between teams with junior highschool players going against players that are in the NFL league tier. 9 out of 10 matches.

B.) I’m only here for the back piece and will never return to this crap ever again.

So many PvE players trolling pvper in ranked because their feel entitled to get the back piece by having actually PvP players carrying them to the Back Piece.

So I really think if ANet was to make a Legendary Back Piece for WvW the PvEers and some of the EotM players will come to WvW in droves to try and get it.

I completely agree to this WvW needs multiple season with a legendary back piece and that will drive in a lot of players

You can play with your forehead and take no damage at superspeed that never runs out

Superspeed is not a boon and it doesnt stack.

Either way if what you say is true then why do 15 people fail to kill 40?

The 40+ people are running the mesmer boonshares..
Look at the screen shots on top post on the last page (3) of the Boonshares will break WvW thread…
( oh and as soon as it runs out you just share it again , as long as you have enough mesmers per the right amount of people, you can keep it stacked forever. You can run as many pins/ mesmers as you want to maximize it to ensure every member of a zerg gets shares…

After looking at that screen, what were you saying about quickness? That screen shot was from a boonshare ZERG ..

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Remove-Boonshare-It-s-gonna-break-WvW/page/3#post6234855

You can stack boons but it takes time to stack boons and the counter to boon stacking is their which is corruption run corruption necro, sigil of nullification and other things

So I am making this post purely for you guys to cmoment things arena net can do to make that 15 vs 40 possible once again and make zerg busting an actual thing once again. So guys please feel free to post your ideas!
First few things that come in my mind are:

1. Make stab the way it was 2 years ago. The latest stab change was good but it still favors 40 man blobs more than the 15 and especially with this cc limits now days.
2. Raise the amount of people cc hits like from 10 to 15 or 20 at least.
3. Rework conditions for WvW.
4. Rework certain classes like revs which is completely broken as kitten
5. Bring back hammer trains qq

Guy’s leave your ideas in comment and pls keep the post clean and drama out.

Make stab the way it was and raise the limit on CC and make 15vs40 possible again :,)

They should just remove eotm because it literally has no purpose anymore the one purpose it had was which faster level up but that doesn’t happened anymore.

I think they should keep it to keep the ktrain over there instead of bringing it to WvW.

There are a lot of players in EoTM who don’t even know what WvW and can get hooked to WvW

EotM was supposed to be a place to pass your time while waiting in queue,assuming there would be a queue in all borderlands and EB.
At least that’s how I remember it was introduced to us.

Indeed. Originally it was a waiting area while in queue and a testing ground for new WvW features.

EotM then evolved into its own kind of game mode and could not serve as testing ground nor a place where WvW’ers would feel comfortable to pass time.

The downfall was too high rewards for the effort. Pity EotM also yields WXP rendering WvW ranks worthless.

Was it some SFR WvW guild that went into EotM to decimate the sheepish k-trains? I guess it was a good laugh to kill entire blob in a single push. As result the opposite teams tried first to avoid the guild group and then just quit playing the map until next reset. Just shows how different the game modes are.

I don’t think WvW could ever cater for the EotM type players without turning into EotM like game mode itself.

Eotm should have never been introduced or if it there shouldn’t be any rewards or experience earned from it. Should have been a strict testing ground

Heres an idea. Remove bullkitten upgrade system from WvW and add things like crafting stations, mystic forge, personal back access, trading post, etc to the Guild Hall and let players use it more. Right now i dont think anyone kittening uses guild hall much at all.

Except that vanilla WvW had its fair share of condi builds and blobbing too.
Engineer, mesmer and thief all had strong condi builds for roaming.

Nowadays all I see while roaming are power builds.
Compared with vanilla the amount of condi builds I meet has actually decreased.

I hope thass a joke…

What specifically?
Blobbing? As if we didn’t have threads complaining about blobbing since years.
Condi builds? Threads complaining about condi mesmers and thieves are also nothing new.
More power than condi? This just my experience which might be biased due to me not playing that much in the last months or I’m just lucky to get only power builds as enemies.

Back then you had condi mesmer, condi thiefs and few condi Necros.
Now you have condi mesmer, condi thiefs, condi mesmer, condi warriors, condi revs, condi rangers lol everything is condi.
Yes blobbing was also a thing back then but you also had skilled group killing those blobs all you see now days is blobs everywhere no skilled groups.
Back then yes I also fought a lot of power builds and I enjoyed fighting power now you just fight condi every where….

I love Revenant/Herald and elite specializations. Those are major improvements in my opinion.

But, I am so sick and tired of all the Crystal Desert blobs. WvW is ruined because of HUGE blobs.

I can’t figure out why my world doesn’t have as many players in WvW as the other worlds. I log in and I usually find the outnumber icon up. Between CD and SF, my world is always outnumbered.

The huge blobbing is big drag on internet/computer. The lag is an issue for others more than me. My comp and internet can handle it. But the blobbing is major headache all around.

Should have xfered off of dh when had the time lol well you still can

They should make a expansion which allows players to remove all HoT BS and see how much money they will make.

That WvW feel just doesn’t kittening exist anymore.. I am crying ;-; qq

Anet isn’t going to understand why people miss old days :,) because they are too busy fixing kitten they introduced with HoT and most of it should just be removed including revenant and specializations

Yes this vanilla WvW :,) https://youtu.be/wEsbu2PIvhU
I miss it and I know most of you do to as well… Anet please bring those days back…??? I want to see a lot more skill groups running around not just blobs :/ i miss dying to power builds… not condi :,) I loved it when everyone was running power not condi… condi wars ruined WvW for me…

https://youtu.be/AgzR7rtVsV8

Currently, if you wanted to do zerg busting, you’d need 20 solid players. I don’t think 15 can cut it these days. You’ll want to be in a tier 4 server so that you’re fighting the worst players left in the game – preferably be on Crystal Desert so you can get maximum farming of SF and DH.

Bruh, being on the overpopulated side don’t really give you many chances of “zerg bust”.. It need to be 20 of you against 40+ enemies, not the other way around.

But seriously Jeknar with this kittenty meta you do need 20-25

Again a lot of you have already said we don’t want this and we don’t want that. So what do you want? Give arena net some ideas to work with we need to provide them with some amazing ideas that they can implement to bring back people. Also I would like to mention it’s just in my opinion current the way meta it does favor blob warfare a lot that’s why you see less skilled groups out there I think class and skill balance will definitely bring back a lot of players back.
