What he said, this is stupid yes something needs to be done but the anger directed at players for playing the game as NCsoft designed it needs to stop now. It is not like the players can do anything about except let the designer know of the problem with the product.
I agree with you. But you must understand what is happening before coming on team or map chat asking JP stuff. My advice is just go to the jumping puzzle and talk in /say not in team or map chat. As crude as it sounds, one of the factor in WvW is body count. Having people going to JP instead of helping win WvW is kinda frustrating to some people.
The reason is that everybody should contribute in every aspect of the game. If PvE no need badges then WvW should be change also to get the benefits from the PvEr.
1) No server bonus for PvE only WvW
2) All dungeon items can be bough using badge of honor
3) Killing a keep lord will spawn a chest which will allow precursor to drop
4) No world completion needed for legendary
I do not think this changes will happen and i think it is unfair for both side.
WvW have to fight to give u crafting and etc bonuses and have to do dungeon run for their legendary. They also have to explore a huge map to finish map completion.
PvE only have to collect badges from JP which can be done in less then an hour for all maps(Quicker with portal) and 4 maps. You all get the bonuses which WvW players fight for everyday to get and yet you complain.
Changes have to be made to WvW to help it survive. I know a LOT of PvEr wants legendary but so does WvW people. Unless WvW quit for maybe a month (In my case maybe a year cause i play so little) or we get extremely lucky, there is no way for us to even see a legendary. So be thankful that all you have to do is a jumping puzzle. I think OP suggestion is a good one. At least PvE people really have to play WvW to get the legendary like how WvW people have to do PvE stuff.
i saw the thief was like 15 seconds visible , but you still didn’t attacked him
Its impossible. If you face this trick before you will understand why. If we move out from the stack he will just go invisible again with C&D. The reason why we must turtle and AOE is because we must not let him close to us so that he can use C&D. I was hitting him , see the numbers coming out. Just that it was hard to communicate with pubs.
As i said there is a way to counter it but that’s not the point. Its a low risk high reward trick that should not be in the game.
i got an thief , with over 10k WvWvW kills, so i gues i got some experience regarding thief in wvw…. that suply is hard to stealth cap , 3 necro/ elementarists can take you out of it easy.
It is true that some supply can be hold endless with stealth like the ones on top of Bay… or the one bottom of Bay…
I agree that an thief should not hold camp more then 25 seconds on stealth , but in the same time you should have an timer that you can cap points stealthed , thief’s heal is stealth
and i advice you do not do that mistake again … is better to run arround with melle weapons doing autoattacks .
Actually we did that earlier. I just didnt record it. You can see some pubs in the video still doing it.
Im a repeating this a last time, I am not saying it cannot be stop or prevented. I just saying it is difficult and frustrating to kill 1 person. It is a low risk high reward trick.
You can hate on the guy all you want, but hes just trying to emphasise a point that does need fixing.
And hey, so what if he flails about in WvW.
More kills for us.
I do not mind the hate. I was half awake playing this at 1AM after work. I just didnt give a kitten and spam click.
I will state this again. Yes i know it can be countered. This video is not to show how to counter it or argue how to do it. It is to show that this is a low risk high reward trick.

I think everyone already knows about this and hopes it will be fixed soon.
Thanks Zephyrus. I know people know it. I just posting it up because this happen yesterday night. Wish to get a reply from Anet on their stand and what is their action moving forward.
Here is a video of a thief preventing us from capping nearly half an hour. This server had 2-3 thief doing this. I know there is a way to counter but i think it is ridiculous at amount of people needed to do this. Please fix this Anet.
To all those people think this is fair. You are dead wrong that is all. This is a low risk high reward technique and shouldn’t be in a game that is balance. Im not going to answer any troll post.
Calm down. You are all making wild assumptions and accusations with literally zero basis.
Needing ascended gear to do anything in Fractals? No evidence that this is the case.
Taking a break and coming back to find you can’t do anything because gear is outdated? No evidence this will be the case.
Ascended Armor being more powerful than Exotics? No evidence that this is the case. Because if it’s going to work like the accessories, then you can’t put runes on them and there are stats on runes that are simply miles ahead of a few extra raw stat points.
Gated content? No evidence this will be the case.
I like wild conjecture as much as the next guy but you guys are being some of the most whiny, self-entitled and generally unpleasant people I have ever seen on any MMO forum. By all means continue battering the developers that are giving you all of this content for free.
ANet please don’t listen to these idiots and do whatever you want because contrary to popular belief, this is your game and it doesn’t belong to these ridiculous whiners.
Please see the picture and do the math. Thank You.
From the picture there’s +5 difference in power.
Every 20 stats = 1% increment in actual combat.
Each gear only makes you 0.25% stronger.
+11 full ascended is (0.25 × 11) = 2.75% stronger than exotic.
If exotic does 1000 dmg. Ascended does 1028 dmg. 28 dmg increase.
Only 2.75% stronger and 100 over pages of complaints.
Amazing.
Although 2.75% is insignificant, dedicated players still feel a sense of progression and rewarded. The point is to feel like there isn’t a wall to progression. Some sense of progression is needed in every mmorpg. It needs to constantly evolve to keep player anticipated. If not, it’s the same as console game with an ending.
Casual players can stick to their exotic without worries. Majority casuals are still going to stick with exotic. Why are people worried about this? It’s not like you must have ascended to pvp in WvWvW or PVE. You can experience 100% fun content with exotic and it’s so easily acquired. Gear treadmill forces you that you must have it and grind repetitively until you quit. Therefore, it’s not a gear treadmill. It’s a progression that’s optional for endgamers. The game musn’t only cater for casual players. It’s catering towards both casual and dedicated.
Players should experience the game first.
Who knows? The process of getting it isn’t like any traditional mmo grind.
I heard the new dungeon is pretty random and not the repetitive grind types.
It doesn’t hurt to give it a try. They made an effort for you.
Players should appreciate it.
That only for 1 stat. There are 3 stats. So 2.75%x3? I know it is small but even a small % can mean a life of death situation. 1% can determine you fail or pass a test also.
I can’t see where they said they’ll have better stats.
They said they’ll add more update related items, that’s it.
Do the halloween exotics have better stats? Nope.
@above
At launch we will only have ring and back items, they’re going to add the rest of the slots as they go.
I know. Im just stating the facts. The only thing i hate now is i have to save money all over again for another tier equipment while i have already wasted my gold on exotics.
Check the picture of the ring,
Exotic Ring
48+15=63 Power
48+15=63 Precision
3+4=7% Magic Find
Ascendent Ring
50+18=68 Power
50+18=68 Power
10% Magic Find
Please do the english.
You are not gated from this content.
If that was the case, it’d be impossible because there’s no way to get anything but rings and back.
If your talking to me then. Please read also before answering. I didnt say anything bout gated anyways. Im just saying that the Ascended will have better stats. Read the bolded letters there will be a full set soon.
“The Future of Items Progression
This is just the beginning. In November, we’re only adding the first level of Infusions and Ascended Rings and Back slots, so that leaves us a lot of room to build upon these levels of Item progression in future content.
As we release more new end game content in the future, you’ll see more Infusions and Ascended item types being added to the game. Eventually, you’ll be able to kit yourself out with a full set of Ascended gear and high end Infusions to help give you the edge in end game content."

The problem is this
New Gear with better stats = More PvE grinding
In WvW people with better gear will win. Guild leaders will ask their members to get the new gear. WvW will be imbalance for another few months while everybody gets the new gear.
I only play 2 hours a day at best and just got my map completion. Now i have to farm for a better gear after i got my exotics? This game is so no casual if this Ascended gear comes out.
So if i do not farm new gear i will end up having:
-Lower chance to win 1v1 in WvW with people with better gear
-Harder to go to future new content which will be release after this (because Anet will think we all have Ascended by then)
-Spend more gold on equipment and TP
Suggestions:
-Make Ascended only effective in PvE. Remove the stats from WvW. You did it for PvP why not WvW?
-Make Ascended stats same with exotic. But because you transmuted it with a upgrade, you have a better looking skin. Make the gear glow when the Infusion slot is used, Red=Off, Blue=Def, Omni=Green)
Seriously? Why blame the whole server of hack? Nobody here supports any hacks that happen. Just be supportive to each other and enjoy the game instead of throwing accusations around.
I am enjoying every moment fighting in WvW with other servers. Good fight to SoR and CD. Have a nice week.
I found a bug with this quest. Sometimes the Wild Crabs will spawn near the water edge. If you swim and collect the crab, it will disappear once your on land again. This will cause you to lose the crab and make you unable to pick up any more Wild Crabs or send the crab to the NPC.
