Guild Wars 2

Yeah, NO THANK YOU on that idea too. It should be account bound, alt friendly, and every day! Siege is WAY too expensive to actually buy on the level it’s used. I don’t believe you folks see the way the higher tiers roll.

^that is laughably the worst comparison I’ve seen. As if those two skills have any relevance and good use of putting boons on the Warrior too.

It’s been said the timing is random but, the possibility of having World Boss events occur simultaneously would then be very infrequent. Yet, it is VERY frequent! Please STOP this from happening. There is so little end game content to do as it is.

Another is the overflow issue. Please sync overflows or widen the resources going to World Boss events to allow more people to do them. Here on JQ, where many people guest to do PvE also, we go to overflow often.

I bought the game to play content. Not stand around waiting for it.

To go back to page one for a sec, what manner of ill logic is being used here? Server status is by no means a measure of players in WvW. JQ was full long before the free transfer ended. Even with the RawNoodles taking a portion of EMP from us, has it drop from full? No. We’ve had the outmanned buff on many occasions recently. Has this drop us from full? No. So where is the logic in this assumption that we’re stacked with “WvW players”?

Sorry, I had to rant here because the lack of common sense has been annoying me

No wonder you named your character Scumbag Though do enjoy trying to play the game as it goes out of business. When the PvE’ers leave, this game is done. Whom do you think buys Gems to keep the servers running? You think they’ll encourage others to buy the game???

Staff Ele is probably the worst build in the game right now. It’s only good if you stay way way way back behind the zerg.

Now, if staff had a few melee options within those 40 redundant skills, it might be more useful. I mean really, go grab a broom stick and walk around outdoors with it. Watch what you’ll do intuitively. Now ask yourself, are any of those things in the game? Nope……

Thieves are “the Golden Child” of the game. Just making an observation, look at the Dev’s themselves in the video’s. Most of them appear to have a preference for metal, goth, or biker. Just look at how much more dark tones and themes are in the artwork of the game. How many items have skulls on them alone. It should be obvious that there’s a tendency toward the dark. That’s why thieves are OP. This game is all about the anti-hero.

If an enemy player had the time to send you an invite, you didn’t kill them fast enough and move on!

I think in all my time in WvW, I’ve had 3 invites. All ended up being pretty entertaining actually. The one with the guys saying “Take me to your leader?” was pretty memorable.

^pfft…. only to hang him from a keep

^Yes, hurt thieves, I highly doubt it. If anything Thieves will have some counter and it’ll only hurt Mesmers.

This IS WvW. The inclusive place where we all are supposed to fight as a WORLD. Not some ego trip for you to base it upon an individual. That is what sPvP is for!

Yes, please more siege and make WvW more dynamic. So actual tactics for the group are required more and more. The day of the individual in WvW is done….. Nor should ever had been. It’s against the entire spirit of it.

Denied what, that numbers matter? Of course it does….. We just happen to be good too

but yes, here’s 20 min ago…. That’s about how many are on TS entirely for WvW. Let’s not forget, we had a deserter whom took 60-80 or whatever and we can’t replace them because of server population status.

It’s called nice weather irl > video game Best PvE server with a full server status. Soooo… it’s not like we can recruit anyone. Let alone WvW guilds.

That’s what that out manned buff you see many JQ’ers rock’n this time of day :-)

Devon, I’m really losing hope here. Please, first things first, remove the duelers and GvG players whom insist on not fighting for and with the rest of the world. If you haven’t noticed the Arrow cart thread, it’s mostly them whom are complaining. I think that is far more urgent than the JP’s. Because if you remove the JP’s, you better make drop rates much higher for siege or badges.

You will destroy WvW if the gold sink get’s any deeper. It’s just barely above zero sum as it is. I hear John Sharp use the term incentive often enough. Well, what is the incentive to WvW when dungeons are so much easier and profitable?

Speaking of PvE, the next problem is that our server status is full, yet we’re out manned in WvW. You have us completely shackled and punished for being PvE popular.

edit: to add that I do want EB JP removed. Just something must be done about the gold sink and other things.

If I understand right, OP is a Gandaran having a go at some [JDGE] guys dueling. I don’t know who OP is, but I’m willing to bet he’s probably someone of no importance.

This is exactly the type of arrogance that isn’t needed in the game. And, if there is a queue, duelers need to take it sPvP. I know this really doesn’t exists on my Tier. I’d make certain they were Zerg Rolled for taking up the queue.

I’m still all for this. To be honest, after witnessing the uproar GvG folks can cause to a server, I think it would be healthy to separate them. That fact that you aren’t fighting as a world but, a select few, that’s already throwing out the window the spirit of WvW. Thinking about it more, it really shouldn’t have any BoH’s and print drops from it either.

This is still a great idea, it just needs to be it’s own entity within the Mist. Have it own resources allocated to it and all.

^Wow, this says to me, Anet played with a lot more code than mentioned.

This nerf is nothing more than extending the gear grind and enhancing the gold sink. Also, it’s quiet unfair to those whom already have legendaries to those whom may have just begun.

Wait… just throw money at a wealthy company? They can spend the money, they are choosing not to. That’s a big difference right there.

Thank you for placing a timer on siege. It’s a big help! I wish it would just show the clock and not have to click on the icon but, it’s a start.

For the despawn times themselves, I’m not very pleased with it. Especially build site despawning. I’ve lost track how much has been lost. If you lose a camp you now lose the build site. Since the camp sup and the build site despawn are both 5 minutes. Virtually locking you out of finishing the siege. Please extend build site despawn to 10 minutes.

As it’s been mentioned many times before. One hour despawn would make things much better.

Maybe WvW should evolve into a higher order of level.

Everyone eat Quaggan tonic and run around yelling “Foo!”?

Hahahaha…. You know what I mean though. For example going up from a micro to meso to macro level.

After many threads I believe we’ve come down to, it should be an account wide pool of points to be spent on any character in the account. Also, that those points are refundable back to the pool and reused as the system evolves.

One thing I’ve never liked is, what if we delete a character and re-roll? My 1k+ hours shouldn’t be thrown away.

Maybe the worlds shouldn’t fight each other at all? I understand the mechanical reasons for the separations but, do they have to divide us? That’s the question…

Maybe WvW should evolve into a higher order of level. Where worlds are chosen to fight alongside each other and against other groupings within a story arc. Maybe it’ll give that missing meaning to WvW.

Just thinking out loud.

I’d expect this to be added as an addition to sPvP. Tournaments is what the whole E-Sport platform is for. Camera’s for spectating already in place. They just need a map for you. I wouldn’t be surprised if this has been in the works.

…btw, you still have to make digs at how others chose to play the game?

Repairing/Building should be rewarded. It’s has value and takes time. I’m happy they included this feature.

I do understand the frustration though. A couple of times, I myself, have become a cap monster in chat when people are wasting supply on walls. It’s one a specific instance I’m thinking of. Where not repairing the wall is of great tactical significance. I always give several mentions in advance that this is coming, Never do I call out an individual on it. That’s just outright rude.

For Guilds claiming and thus controlling supply, no please. Bigger Guilds bully the rest already in WvW. We need mechanism’s to remove Guilds dominating the server. We’re all supposed to be one world in there. I wish guild tags weren’t even shown in WvW. A lot of elitism and negativity would end right there.

Funny enough, I just posted about having a Blackout to shake up WvW. I’m trying to wrap my brain around why, all of a sudden, Guilds are sever hopping all over the place. Tired of reading of worlds imploding. As a few already mentioned, you’re always welcome in T1 NA.

How about the old motto, “If you can’t beat them, join them” In this instance not Vizunah but, Desolation and Seafarer’s Rest merge? The PvE community shouldn’t mind much, you can guest back to PvE still. At the very least you can 2v1 the heck of them this coming week!!!

Good luck though…..

Devon, please do not destroy WvW by listening to the very vocal minority. WvW is the only place siege exist. I love using siege and it’s THE ONLY place we can. WvW is NOT the place for small GvG fighting. That is the main problem here. Specific guilds trying to change every aspect of the game to suit themselves. And, these individuals that believe they have skill because they press a number for a skill.

Make the population on sPvP maps larger to suit them. This way they can do their thing without spoiling WvW, please

I’m sorry, the fact that you mention that siege can only be used in WvW shows a lack of knowledge. There’s siege in PvE. There’s seige in SPvP. Please don’t claim to be the majority when you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about.

Oh God, you call the treb in sPvP using siege? Siege in PvE, that is even more laughable! Here, I’ll just sit in the mist and go pew pew against the targets, right? That’s using siege to you?

Devon, do you see my point? If you back down on siege now, these folks will just keep badgering and squawking until all siege was worthless.

This thread is really getting out of control. Siege exists in WvW for a reason. A player with siege vs another player with siege is still PvP. Stop trying to argue and use the wiki as your weapon.

Maybe they buffed the AC’s because the percentage of GC builds is getting equally out of control. Now you’ll need to put some toughness and healing in the build. Maybe Arenanet is smarter than you give them credit for. They only made the game!

I think we need about a 450PPT for the rest of the week over BG (not just a 450PPT but that much of a lead over BG) in order to close that gap. This won’t happen. Seen some points turnaround but this just won’t happen. Well done to BG

It’s not over yet.

To over take BG JQ need 15k points over 17 hours, that is 882 points per hour, or +220 points per tick on top of BG. I’ve seen a lot of turn arounds happen, if JQ push hard it is still possible, even if BG play at their best.

I wouldn’t concede defeat until it’s at least +500 points per tick required if I were you.

When I’m trying to solo camps on both other Bl’s all day because I can’t even get the NPC started, I think the win is locked for you guys BG.

Let’s consolidate the list of things thus far posted. It’s been burn out, nerf’s, AC’s, jet packs, nice weather, guild transfers, college finals, and Iron Man 3 …. is there anything I missed?

For those of us on JQ that put in double time this week. We did amazingly well considering. For BG, you earned this one, GJ! For SoR, wait… were you here this week? lol

Next up, I’m taking the weekend off! It’s just not healthy playing at this volume.

As someone actually from JQ, I’d say you would be welcomed. Though reading your OP, I do understand we are not what you are looking for. Why we were mentioned, idk.

For the other’s posting, yes we have no queue for most times of day. Only EB really get’s a full queue in NA prime time. Many of us have said, the numbers are exaggerated. Those first 2 weeks after the paid transfer began yes, we had queues around the clock. But, the games getting long in tooth and the better weather is here in NA. I have a feeling over the next couple of months, the mega zerk will have faded away.

Tobias, you are obviously very jaded. How much ego does one have to have to think they can speak for the populace of the entire game? Especially, why should anyone hate another for a label in a video game?

I wrote an example earlier of how weak AC’s were before the patch. After, they still can’t take down a person solely. I had a Ranger just standing under one just an hour ago while it was ganking our yak. Maybe got the Ranger to 50% HP. Now, I’m not fully traited in AC’s yet but, high condition damage. Thus, it’s not a big deal!!!!

I think other tiers are just too used to running glass and free night capping.

No, it’s not a violation. If in the real world, several people asked you not to start a fight and you did anyway, what would happen?

It’s incredibly inconsiderate to not have just moved along.

I say we all place sup AC’s around the windmill by Victor’s.
Lock down that GvG nonsense.
:)

As my one main being a staff ele, I feel for you Mesmers but, not that much.

^ I know right, what the heck am I looking at?

Honestly, I donate Bali’s instantly. I’ve never liked them and always chose the AC over it. The lack of proper aiming bothers me far too much.

Here’s an example of how weak an AC was. I clearly remember standing in QL’s LR back in December. An invader was trying to pass along the north side in the shallow water. I was raining arrows on him and barely slowed him down. A teammate came in and killed him.

The corpse persisted to stay there thus, I kept watch. A minute later here comes along another invader. I go full bore on him with the AC as soon as he’s within range. He successfully limped in, rezzed the corpse, and they both hobbled away.

How was an AC not pathetically week if this can occur? It needed a buff to become a realistic siege engine.

^That’s not new, it’s been the status quo.

I’m getting a kicked about people complaining “How are we ever to take Hill’s now?” Yet then state they only care about open field fighting. Which means you never cared about the PPT anyway!

If this causes those Guilds to leave WvW, those that never cared about the PPT, then GOOD! The rest of us can finally get in without waiting on the freaking queue.

but..but..but… we have conjures????

12 pages of roamers QQ’ing???? If you want “Melee Wars 2” how about going to sPvP please? There should be more and new types of siege in WvW.

I’d rather not have WvW turn into a 24/7 LR battle, ty.

Rob, what you speak of doesn’t exist in the higher tiers. The dynamic is different as 30 is the smaller sized Zerg’s, not the large. Considering how many post you’ve made, what else could you add?

^applause! GJ

The question is, can we stop generalizing and labeling all things sPvP D/D as an Ele? We exist in other forms.

^ Umm….. I didn’t include myself in with those complaining of swirling being boring. I am a builder too! Why else would I care so much about swirling being removed?

7-8 gold an hour from Orr??? Never have I seen these amounts.

Yes, the reward system in the game has been broken since launch. Dungeon grinders have inflated the economy well beyond anything a PvE or WvW player could keep up with.

Umm…. I’ve been hit by a 9k+ Unload before. That’s with about 1600 toughness. Soo….. I think something is working for pistol.

For one thing, we actually held Bay, tyvm. Another is, you are only speaking of unprotected Treb’s in these situations given. When a large zerg rushes and plops a cata or treb, you aren’t going to build another without the build site being wiped. Why else do you think anyone ever started using Ele’s?

Again, it’s another layer of defense being ‘removed’ to force melee and zerging. This IS solely of Anet’s choosing to do so.

For those who complained, “Swirling’s Boring”. Well, how is being stuck sitting in towers refreshing a metric kitten ton of siege now, not even more boring?

I’d love to chew out the person’s responsible for removing Swirl from WvW right now. I just logged in and instantly inner Bay is going down to 4 Superior cata’s an a treb on outer.

Having NO defense against cata’s and treb’s is the opposite of fun and intelligent play. Now it’s just the first to get a treb up wins? Our only defense is to be used as meat shields and human torpedo’s? Please STOP trying to artificially create turn over by removing defenses and tactics. STOP trying to force the game to become Melee Wars 2. TY!

Why has no one mentioned the video has been manipulated? It’s running at least 25% faster than normal. So of course the Ele appears to be super mobile.

I would go on further but, realize Divinorium is a Thief trolling the Ele boards. Go back to two fingering your way through the game bub.
