Guild Wars 2

Ascended isn’t that big of a dif……. why the hell it’s all account bound tho….. literally, when I think about it, I hit a mental barrier and just give up on thinking.

Seriously, why can’t ascended be open to trade?…. I’d rather just play wvw and slowly save up the gold (which right now i just spend on useless vanity items ect.) to eventually buy some over priced piece of armor, and I would be totally ok with that.

1- You get stuck in the same spot for 10 seconds after FINISHING building ANY kind of siege

Switching weapons will get you “unstuck”

That doesn’t help engineers or ele’s, also if your swap is on cd, your screwed.

Using a movement skill works sometimes, but if you’re an ele for instance and use that flame retreat skill while building catas near a cliff, it can be fatal. Regardless, it’s a bug and needs to be fixed, no matter how easy it is for people to get out of it.

I honestly really like the whole area and idea.
I like to mix up zerging and solo roaming, all the while doing what I can for my team.

Coordinating with one or two other roamers in map or party chat for trolling bl so no one else gets it or holding it for you team entertains me alot.
If a whole zerg wants to hit up bl, that’s their wasted time, if my 3 guys wasted 20 peoples 3 minutes, I feel it’s a win. Killing a couple of zergling in the process, there’s a couple points.

I don’t know about lower tiers, but if we don’t have bloodlust, it’s not a big deal, but it’s not ignored. Someone mentions it right away and within 5 or so minutes someone will be working on it.

Imo, bl shouldn’t some kind of imbalance, if all 3 teeams have it, the more dedicated team to stomping gets more points, the roamers killing more people get their team more points, whether or not they care, they still add points to that score, if those players stopped, the math says it would make a bit of a difference.

BUT…………………………………… they should have just worked on fixing all the bugs (most of which we’ve complained about for the year and a half, or the new ones which keep just randomly popping up[unable to move after building seige ect ect ect ect ect] which now have their own thread btw) over the last year and a half instead of making this area and the EOTM and then tell us WE DON’T HAVE THE RESOURCES.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Nice thread. I don’t know how many of these issues we can feasibly tackle, but I’m sure you’ll see at least a few fixes come from this.

Nope, sorry, this is a terrible response.

Others have said it and so will I. We’ve reported, complained, and countless new people to the game have known about these bugs since launch. You should be actively working on these things. Instead, we feel like we are being undervalues. “Meh, they’ll just have to live with it.” attitude is unhealthy for you’re player base, especially when, like others have said many, many times, pve gets bugs fixed within hours. I would imagine that you guys are tired of hearing this all the time.

I really appreciate the new map. EotM is beautiful and really well designed. But seriously, you guys worked on that for a few months and came up with something beautiful. Why is it the game has been out for a year and a half, and beta before that, and some of these bugs still exist? Please, get on some of these. Y’all finally made it so we could kick people from party. ’Bout time. Keep up that sort of thing.

My addition: Fix temporal curtain so it will stack swiftness.

Stop pulling guards so far away?

morrolan.9608:

The lag has increased again for some reason (maybe the event). This reset it was horrendous. In any big 3 way fight we couldn’t use any skills. It was so bad we couldn’t even continue the fight for the objective we just had to bail.

Yeah, was there for that, was a very depressing few hours there.
Haven’t gotten in a 3way fight since reset, but I hope they work this out if things are still getting laggy.

Likes
It works
Account bound wxp soon
When I say it works, wvw is a kitten good game, has something for everyone.

Dislikes

Towers that have a huge disadvantage vs specific keeps ex. Hills vs south east tower.

All the wasted space in the north half of the bl maps, it feels like 1/4 of your home bl is safe zone/ wasted space.

Bugs and hackers, no good report system.

Party, commander ui, party still doesn’t work properly and should be 10-20 player max, commander doesn’t really get anything useful to manage.

DeeSystm.1256:

Valid tactic, nothing to see here, move along folks.

I sure hope you’re not the same SF on JQ…

It’s my idea of what anet is thinking right now.

I do actually care about this, but i’m not expect anything, whatsoever in any way, shape, or form to be done.

We got a temp ban on the one guy for verbal abuse, not the siege trolling, so there is literally nothing going to be done, i have no hope .

This literally just happened to me, every time I used a wp in wvw I would completely crash as soon as I started walking, happened about 5 times.
Then it just stopped…..
That’s all I know, but your not completely alone.

Anet has already said they won’t be making any change to buff/debuff small/large groups.

They don’t have the resources to deal with all these minor issues dude.

Because an overflow map for the almost non existent queues is in the making.

The end.

GrandmaFunk.3052:

prioritize fun over profits.

Pretty much this, the profit is minimal, but finding what you like to do for your team, whether it’s some kind of zerg support, roaming/havoc or running around being a major team player (dealing with sige refreshing/scouting) and getting a kick out of it is where the real profit is at.

Joining a guild that does the thing you want to in wvw also gives a good boost of motivation to go kitten kitten up.

Would it be possible to have a guild upgrade (through Art of war, because that seems to be where all the wvw upgrades are) that adds a new collections tab in the guild bank for regular and superior siege?

Members who have access to guild bank would be given an option on right clicking siege to “deposit to guild bank”.

Would help members easily donate their siege and maintain clearer bags without having to go too far to either deposit, sell or delete it.

Just a convenience that I think would be a nice touch.

WVW i can reach 30khp in my guardian yet being downed with 2 hit since roll and block are limited.

That is a hilarious story. Here I am standing at 22k fully WvW buffed and thinking it’s overkill.. oh overtanky?

Dont pretend to be pro, show-off its not nice, and yes my ~30k can take alot of damage with the right rolls and bloks, but if u know the game that well when facing certain builds they can almost instadow you at your minimal mistake or lack of atention facing several targets.

And im not talking about WvW walking bags (zerkers).

Where anywhere in gw2 are you running a vitality guardian, with 30k health??? o.o

Seriously, I don’t pay a ton of attention to all these build, usually I modify a guild build or something….. I wvw mostly, so i don’t know alot of pve…. anyone can answer me why someone would stack so much vit??

WvW server bonus + aplyed fortitude + stats, http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQJASWlYgiCXFyLEm4ERWBRi9AjZsjXPSoEZIA-jUBBIjBKBtIasVWFRjVZDT9iIqWKATUGB-w

And the why? was playing on large group at that time so i decided to see how guardian would work if had that health, nothing more, and i only played WvW in this game to just got bored becouse wanted to play something different.

Oh I thought there might be some pve content that required a massive amount of vitality.

It’s a mix of Paragon and Monk from gw1 basically, look those up.

I had a little diddy written about how i was playing wvw ele/engi basically for the first time (r14 and r20 on those toons) and how even zeging h-core spamming large aoe’s, i only got into trouble being stupid, but meh.

SKILLS that proc huge amounts of retal like the ft1 skills and various whirl skills need to have their retal proc reworked, not the other way around, retal works pretty much fine except when you smash your face into something like a baddie

What if fortify went over doors too, more health, players can’t dmg, no more dmg resist though.

I just want this because I’m pretty kittening sick of doing PvD to get in a treb/ac defended gatelol

urieldhynne.2743:

Learn to burst, learn to not spam autoattack, learn to use conditions, learn to NOT spamming fast autoattacks, if your flamethrower is a problem vs guardians because retaliation, DONT USE IT vs guardians, dont ask for a nerf for a already weak buff.

Retaliation is not just ok, is weak. More in this meta with insane burst and condispammers, there is no meta of low damage fast autoattack right now. Stop autoattacking with your flamethrower (or any similar effect) and you will be happy.

This guy is right. Rangers should stop using longbow and engies should stop using flamethrowers and granades in WvW. And to balance it out ANet should remove staff and greatsword from guardians or give both weapon sets 5k selfdamage on each skill use, so guardians would learn NOT to spam fast autoattacks.

Longbow shouldn’t really loose to a guard(in my personal ranger exp) at least average or lower guardian srsly, lb, sword dagger, wolf /lynx or another cat or bird is decent in the right hands…. grenades do about 3x or more dmg including condi per retal stack, and as an engi, your vit should be similar, poison spam also helps, allowing for a kite to win strat, staff also receives the same amount of retal in 2 attacks as one engi ft1 attack right? 10 per engi attack, 5 per staff spam?… i hope your guards aren’t spamming one staff cuz lol baddy.

Honestly, this should be about adjusting the ft1 skill, not retal.

The gain retal on virtue trait could honestly go…… Symbol of wrath or symbol of swiftness + some blasts is plenty retal for any organized group anyways…. move it up to virtue 25, make it an optional master trait or even move it out to an offensive line, as a support guardian, you pretty much don’t really need that trait anyways.

We all know and deal with retal everyday, not a single smart move should put you death because you attacked people with retal, does it need adjusting? Maybe… but flamethrower sucks anyways, so maybe that needs to be looked at?

We don’t die zerg busting because we spammed some dumb aoe on a group, (like whirling wrath on the first push?? luls. Firestorming a guild group??? lulzzzz)
bad positioning and poor cd management should get you killed before retal.

33% dmg return…. sounds great tbh…. had some backline eles hit me for like 5-6k+ firestorms… could you imagine the qq over taking 1-2k retal bombs from every single firestorm hit? Or warriors who’s aggressiveness would probably nullify the effects of healing signet?
On a side note to that…. for the longest time i thought retal was 25%-35% dmg return based off the guardians power, until I started playing one.

And would that be direct damage and/or condi damage too?? Because I don’t feel it’s fair a necro who could pop little 300-500 hits (100ish retal pops) and stack 1k bleeds + other condis and not suffer consequence?

I hate to sound condescending guys, but for a noob to mmo’s like me, confusion and retal haven’t ever really been the problem. Being punished for doing something, should be changing your strategy and stuff like that… idk.. maybe not.

They won’t make any changes to discourage any kind of game play, no large group debuffs ect. Although they are encouraging small man with things like the ruins.

Malik.6781:

When you going to wvw, what you see on loading screen? That’s right my friend.

Yup, tonight, tons of disconnects…. or something… gw has stopped working notification.
I’ll note it’s mostly when i’m looking down at the ground in one way or another. Every time has also been in wvw.

I haven’t experienced this ever.

Fun fights this evening on tc bl!!

All you need to do to beat a train is kite. Positioning wins the fight… sure a cc train makes it rough… but if a cc train doesn’t cc anything.. then the cc train doesn’t cc anything… you c?

Buzzcrave.6197:

azizul.8469:

immobilize is a cc condition. you can remove it.

can’t you just wait for the stack to build and then cleanse it in one shot using condition removal ?

In a zerg fight, especially when you’re condi bombed by necros, it seems like immobilized is the last condition to be cleansed.

Immobilized shouldn’t be able to be stacked, it should be FCFS, you only need to deal with the first immobilized while negate the others that are used on you when the first one is still active. You can still chain immobilized by timing your skill(more skill required) so a group can chain immobilized a person, instead of right now you can spam it like a kittening noob and it’ll work even better with no skill required(Anet love to caters to their casual players).

What if the person have dogged march+melandru+lemongrass thus making immobilized to be useless? What I’ve stated on my OP will negate those combination by making immobilized to be unaffected by these -condition duration so you won’t get an immobilized skill that only lasted 0.5 sec.

I ran into a 5 man with 2 thieves, mes necro and war, all specced up to chain immob, i was on a my support guard with 3 double condi removes and a triple condi remove, sigil of purity…. just try and guess how effin far I ran.

This argument should be for all enemy AoE and reflects… or none…… giant red wall of reflect anyone?

Either way, I’m way against this…. most aoe gets a red circle….. it’s not hard to see… 1 year of ranger/ guardian play from zerg to roaming, jq to ar, says this should not be an issue.

+1

…….. lol

Ikaros.7812:

I’m sure they’ll start working on it right after they fix kicking offline party members.

For some kind of overflow map this seems a little too extensive.

Too much to do, too big.

If it’s overflow it should be something simple yet sort of entertaining, so you can half sit there and pay attention some of the time. I feel like there will be people mastering and staying there.

This feels like I have to get to know things, how things work, just to be entertained to get into a game mode I actually want to play.

But I suppose with how long some queue’s have been reported… maybe we do need a ton of copies of a massive full queue map to keep the crowd entertained.

When you have a field blasting fetish.

Hey anet if you take the time to read this.

If you get immob’d while falling slightly, running along a steep enough slant or happen to have jumped as immob is being placed on you, you get stuck in a kind of fall animation. All your skills become useless, sometime stunbreakers too, but I have never died from any fall dmg related to this.

Something is screwy.

I noticed this problem on jq, on the enemy bl with the bayside spawn, week before leagues started.

Had about 15-30 on pin, pretty much doin havoc stuff, ran around the map solo for about 15 min, seen maybe 10 people roaming, that’s being generous.
Another odd thing about it, although there was a queue, it was only about 15 min, but when you got in, we felt we only had enough people to defend, so I assumed alot of people got bored quick and switched maps.

The strange thing was, we were fighting outnumbered, with 15-20 and there were up to 2 more sets of orange swords on the map. the amount of enemies we were seeing was pretty crazy. And you don’t wanna go cryin wolf on something because you noticed something strange, but there’s strange things happening, causing some kind of inbalance of some sort.

People hold map spots, if they dont leave wvw via a gate or log out then log back into their previous location in order to get them out of wvw 100%, they do hold a spot in the map. <needs a fix

The last time I saw this happen, someone was registered at inner s bay gate for 3 flips of the fortress, over the course of about an hour and a half.
Someones spot in wvw was wasted for an hour and a half, because of that one bug.

Thinking about how many people I’ve seen ragequit, all the times i just close gw in wvw, those are all wasted spots in the game. And for how long??

Not like I have any real evidence of this, but after a year of wvw touching on all its had to offer….. I’m telling you Anet, people get stuck in wvw when they don’t leave properly, it shouldn’t be an issue, but I also think if you can get that one thing fixed, where spots appear to be “held”,, it would seriously solve some of the horrid wvw qeueu pool stories we are hearing now.

this thread delivers

two uneducated comments and suddenly its a who’s server is better at everything size competition.

GenNuttY.3891:

the purple chain never followed me after blink before this patch.

Then it was broken and now it is fixed. blink is a stun breaker, not a condi cleanse.

Roots are pretty bad tbh….. Just the other night I got lucky and jumped just as a ranger cast it, landed on top of the roots and walked away.
It also misses all 5 enemies on one blind, which is really kittenin sucky.

It is aggravating to get stuck in something like that, but… if someone pulls it off on someone at the proper time and they unable to get out of it, then i suppose they deserve the kill.

There were things to do! Stuff to buy!

SarahWitter.2317:

Okay! This specific issue has been has been resolved and the Trading Post is back up. Please let me know if you see anything differently.

Thanks,

Awesome, thanks for the fix, unfortunately gem store is completely inaccessible to some or most of us atm. Some people get a long loading screen for it, I on the other hand, rarely get a load circle at all, just straight to blank page.

Velkyn.5168:

What I don’t understand is why someone would willingly put rocks in the way of a healthy and lively, very motivated community in the game.

Those GvG players made their own (not so little) niche all out of nothing, because the game as such still fails to provide any features for real GvG.
But there are enough people enthusiastic enough to organize on their own, make websites for player-managed leaderboards based on good sportsmanship, lots and lots of guilds participating because THIS is the way they want to play.

It is beyond me why such a positive vibe in the playerbase is not getting any official support but rather the opposite.

altf4??? seriously, I got the lols reading that title.

I jus can’t grasp this at all, either side’s reaction to alt f4’s jus makes me go… “aaaaand???”

If that single point means that much to the both of you then all the power to ya.

If you wanna relog every time you get tricked into dying or out played or jus get all kitten y cuz your about to die, power to ya.

It’s dying in a video game folks.

Even with league rewards, winning wvw is about the other 16 hours your not anyways, wich imo is still pretty much nothing.

I willing to bet you would have one hell of a time finding people on Ebay who give a kittenin kitten about coverage. Idk who would be offended by having less ppl honestly, more ppl = more lame.

No one cares if you guys are offended or not. The majority of us on FA are bored.

I was just trying to be nice about it that’s all lol.

Ditto, blame anet’s matchmaking

But I was agreeing with you, crap matchup, and higher tier servers just tend to offer less small groups or even solo players, which I’m under the impression us Ebayers like our small man and solo man play. Coverage isn’t really even on our minds, so less ppl tends to = more fun for us. But i did find more roamers that actually fight, than when fighting BP, which was pretty cool.
Sorry if the swears made me sounds upset, i swear a lot. lol
As for the upper tiers, used to play on JQ, coverage, not an issue at that time haha. As for Ebay I think the random roll put us up in t3 or 4, and yes my guild and other said the same thing; meh. Ended up makin a 25 man group with another guild a couple nights… and it’s honestly just not that enjoyable for a lot of us. So like I said, good luck finding many ppl on this server who care about dat ppt. lol
And… I don’t think I blamed anyone for a randomly set matchup….. but ya know, specially when dealing with this game
→don’t hate the player, hate the game.

And this ones title should read “wvw, and why people should only play the way I want them to play”

The title should read “Anet is killing wvw.”

Oh boy, more colossal zergs running around if I recall. At least I’ll be busy doing non-GW2 stuff this week.

It’s never turribly turrible if you can keep movin enough.
As long as the tower hugging doesn’t resume and the zerging calms just slightly I’m cool with it.
Optimistic, seeing as it’s only reset.

They wouldn’t ever do it, they want zerg fights.

If they did it would need to come in tiers, and start at a higher number, maybe 30.

Johje Holan.4607:

I’ve noticed it too. It’s similar to what happens when I port into our Keep on EB – its like I port into the middle of a wall collapsing. When it first happend, I thought we were under attack.

Don’t know why either happens though.

I’ve noticed that too lately. It’s just a brief flash as though a catapult shot hit the wall. Then it’s over.
I think it happens every time but I haven’t taken any real notice of it.

I don’t notice this as much as I used to, it seemed to happen more the lower you set your graphics, I’ve also noticed, with low graphics settings, black wisps when thieves guild is used or when thieves teleport or go in and out of stealth.
On a side note about the thief thing, I noticed this less and less once the culling changes came in, so maybe it has to do with that, idk, jus some observations.

DeeSystm.1256:

I just don’t understand how someone could come complain about repeatedly suiciding into a camp with an arrowcart in it.

The use of open field siege when odds are overwhelmingly in your favor is just generally frowned upon. Not a new thing really. Just give it a rest.

But a camp is a contestable area or something and that camp always gets loaded with siege, everything about this just seems like a terrible idea.
