Guild Wars 2

Lets see you can do:
1)sPvP
2)WvW
3)Dungeons
4)Fractals
5)World bosses
6)Collections
7)AP Hunting
8)Mini games, jumping puzzles etc
9)Gearing/Legendaries
10)World completion
11)Guild Missions

Take your pick. All the above is content available to you right now. Anet isn’t obligated to provide anything else. Especially since we know a huge content dump is coming….

Bad change imo.

It would have been fine if the guard stacks were never introduced in the first place but we’ve had it for so long now that I (and I’m sure many others) have geared our characters based on those stacks.

Don’t make me have to spend thousands of gold having to re-gear all my characters. Ascended gear is ridiculously expensive and I don’t want to have to do it again. It doesn’t even take long to get 230 points.

not having the stacks is not going to change anything though, since your not the only one losing it, right?

Firstly, *you’re.
Secondly, good job totally not getting the point. If you geared your character a certain way and anet was about to totally invalidate all the time and gold you put into it, how would you feel?

It’s one of the servers with a large pve population and probably a large inactive population as well so that’s where the full status is coming from.

Did DH have a mass exodus? Because it’s in T4 and a server wouldn’t be in T4 if it was dead.

Here’s what would happen:

1)Kills the market on single use potions
2)Loss of a currency sink in the long term
3)Anet loses money

Unless they make an endless version cost over 1000g, it would be a stupid business decision. Especially since players have proven they are willing to pay for the current ones.

Match manipulation is a no-no.

I’d really like to know what defines match manipulation in a WvW setting.

Intentionally building siege to drain supply and hit the cap would be manipulation.
I believe there was a infamous flying enemy recently – cheating is manipulation.
Spying… which some have said is a tactic is spying. Cheating is also a tactic… and draining supply by building useless siege.

It’s only match manipulation if it affects the outcome of the match. How can you tell if one incident has an affect on a matchup that lasts 7 days?

I do believe they are suggesting that maliciously acting to manipulate a match is against the rules.

And how exactly can it be proven when no physical evidence could ever exist in game?

It’s the only place you’re gonna find bad players unless you transfer to a low tier server.

So you assume people on low tier are generally bad, because they play on a low tier?

Most players in low tier servers are casual and do not play in an environment that requires a great amount of skill so there is no incentive or necessity to improve. This is a well known fact.

It’s the only place you’re gonna find bad players unless you transfer to a low tier server.

I actually have. What about you?

I got to 80 in like 10 minutes. Tomes <3

If you’ve deleted all your characters, why do you even need to ask? Just pick a server that ticks well during EU prime time and if it doesn’t suit you transfer to another.
Every server is gonna say that they have decent EU coverage.

Please revert the maps back to their original caps.

the krytan assassin.9235:

so you won’t be able to play your favourite game, you won’t get payed, you will get harrassed by community, you won’t have any extra rights ingame nor influence in anet decisionmaking, you exclude 2/3 of the regions to apply for the job even though these regions suffer from different problems

Sounds like really interesting terms to join the staff! only persons applying on this job are white knights or people who simply don’t have a clue what they’re talking about. Looks like another attempt to calm down the community by doing something for the community, even though in reality it’s nothing more then a laughingstock

I think knowing that the WvW player’s concerns are surely going to be relayed to the devs instead of wondering whether they are actually listening or not is a pretty big deal. Granted, the last specialist was super fail but that was mainly because Anet did not properly advertise the program.

There are also probably a lot of players who would be able do this job (or provide valuable feedback to the devs) but were banned thanks to the overzealous moderating of this forum during the first year of the game.

I’ve lost count how many people got infractions for voicing their very legitimate concerns, would get frustrated by the complete lack of communication by the dev team (face it anet, it was true back in ‘12-’13), would post more aggressively as a result and ultimately got banned.

Deli.1302:

Then he is being unprofessional. If you can’t be professional, you are not fit for the position. He still has the forum specialist tag under his forum name ergo he is still a forum specialist. I look forward to your next attempt to whiteknight.

Even the most professional person in the world can only ever take so much. No one is invincible to everything. Heck I have seen people that have worked 10+ years in customer service completely falling apart from things that one would have thought that they should be used to handling.

He might very will still be labeled as forum specialist due to the fact that they simply don’t have anyone to replace him with (if he have chosen to resign) and thus they simply haven’t bothered removing the tag yet.

Yeah if someone is like that, an employer would send them to a counselor and relieve them from their duties. Or fire him, since he clearly is not fit for the job.

lordkrall.7241:

Actually I did read the terms (probably more thoroughly than most people complaining about the choice of specialist). And yes there were a risk, but that doesn’t really change the fact that most people would buckle under the massive amount of undeserved blatant attacks on his person that happened in that thread. Not even close to the same reaction happened to the other announcements after all.

What makes you so sure he haven’t resigned?

lordkrall.7241:

Are people really surprised that he might have given up after the childish behavior shown here after the announcement?

If you actually cared to read the terms of being a forum specialist (which you didn’t) you would know that they were to assume all risk of harm that would arise from their position. They are not allowed to give up unless they resign their position, which the WvW specialist didn’t. The fact that he has someone else playing on his account is a violation of the EULA and he cannot be a forum specialist anymore (since he technically should be banned).

Justine.6351:

If you were struggling to even step into outer and keep a foothold im not sure anything would have saved that assault.

+1

2015 and I’m surprised people still don’t know how to assault a keep. Split pushes only work if the two teams are on different servers. Otherwise you’re just splitting your supply pool which is just plain bad.

This might be useful for some of you: http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Your-Reading-Comprehension

• 15 minutes feels too short
• Score mechanic is flawed. A team that gets a higher score can just turtle in their base and wait till the end for their win. A better endgame mechanic (VoD!) would be awesome.
• Archers are useless. The guard npcs can be easily killed by the players themselves so we can spend more supply on doorbreakers.
• Supply at the start of the match feels wrong. My team was just insta summoning 5 doorbreakers at the start and they would brute force the outer gate down fairly easily.

They already said they can’t do that either (though we don’t know the reason).

Shademehr.1397:

If the solution to everyone’s woes is to have equally-populated servers, then we can accomplish this right now without any help from Anet:

Spread. Out.

Could you imagine how awesome things would be if everyone was tied for 1st? Every solo roamer who capped a camp would matter. Every player spike. Every tower and keep grabbed by a roaming group. Every beatdown a guild group put on another guild group. Every scout that warned of an approaching zerg. Everything that everyone did in the game would contribute to a matchup. Finally PPT’ers and “In it for the fights” people would be able to come together because they could both do what they love and still be contributing to the “win”.

Am I an idealist? Maybe. But I think it’d be awesome nonetheless. Heck, lets try it for a few months and see what happens!

How would spreading out help? WvW population has no effect on server status.

tluv.5821:

What does that have to do with anet supporting gvgs finally?

And why did you create a thread about something that Anet has already addressed?
They said no. They don’t have the capacity to support a 4th format in the game at this time.

Sirsolo.1284:

Does someone need to transfer out or should I stay up till 4am so I can make a character on his world?

That’s for you and your friend to decide, not us.

Lol a server in T4 is full?

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

Although ANet has solved a lot of technical issues, they so far haven’t figured out how to allow NA players to join up with EUers or vice versa.

They know how to do it (they had it in GW1). They just aren’t because the maps would still have to be hosted on either an NA or EU server and one region of players would be at a disadvantage connection-wise.

Because the population isn’t big enough to warrant one.

Nyx.7342:

To be fair, isnt everyone in the silverwastes basically a “bot”

no

The cap was ~90. Recently I was in a blob with 86 on tag and it was taken shortly after reset.

Azelroth.6801:

I’m estimating around 40-50 (from what I’ve seen)

Nah it’s about 60. We did a supply count and had 54 on tag.

Azelroth.6801:

Super laggy today. I also have noticed massive rubber-banding/lag spikes since the airplane update…

The lag has been a problem ever since the stability change.

LOLOLOL. Was in the middle of a zerg fight in WvW and suddenly the game went into sepia tone, everyone’s hands were out, aviator caps on our head and making airplane noises.

Harassment and Verbal Abuse is completely different to using foul/adult language.
Seems this thread is mixing both things together.

Of course no one in their right mind would think it’s ok to verbally attack an individual in chat. But you’re just being an kitten if you want everyone to talk as if they’re British nobles.

I saw Marmatt online last week and pm’d him to ask him what gives. It wasn’t him but his brother playing on his account. He told me Marmatt was ill and not around at the moment. That might explain the absence.

Does this map provide open spaces devoid of environmental effects for the dozens of guilds that play WvW purely for the fights?

Please fix this fps issue asap.

You listed 3 out of dozens of guilds in existance and I bet those numbers are not accurate.

You’d have to be ignorant to think that using stability was somehow skillful pre-patch. It was mindless. Any mediocre guild could get a rotation set up and be permanently immune to hard CC. People obviously got too comfortable and now they’re upset they can’t 11111 in a hyper-sustain melee train.

This change now means guilds will actually have to think about when they use stab and opens up more possibilities for other classes. Spectral wall is now more viable than before. Tornado might have some use again. Hammer stun might actually work now.

You know the saying; adapt or die. The stab changes will filter out the weak guilds and leave behind those who learn to handle the new environment.

Pirate ship = range meta

Two groups just stand and hurl range attacks at each other, like a battle between two pirate ships.

Branden Gee.2150:

While there are certainly bugs with the new camera (It is in Beta after all).

You can find a living list here.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Suggestion-player-camera-improvements/page/6#post4891382

What you are describing is not a bug with the camera.

So making defensive siege completely useless is intended?
Good way to show that you care about WvW! /sarcasm

I would like to know why anet promotes blobbing because that’s exactly what this change encourages. The bigger zerg has more CC.

keadlaw.6350:

jump animation while welding a staff for my female human ele tweaks out

yea jump animation is kittened up when you have the staff out

You are two and a half years late to the discussion. Do some googling.

Anet saying that the spvp servers not being able to go above 10v10 due to technical limitations is most likely a lie. By technical limitation they really mean that they are too lazy to code the changes.

They’ve managed to make changes to things that they previously labelled as impossible (such as separating EU and NA reset times) so no reason why they couldn’t raise the caps for the spvp maps. If they aren’t doing it because of the cost well if they close some of the dead servers they can save some money there.

What do you do about people using alt accounts to hack/cheat? Do you find and ban the original account?

Dhemize.8649:

I will say this though: YB has commanders that are the most dedicated to WvW, most (if not all) servers and tiers know of them and their guilds.

We also play the way we want. You won’t be lectured for playing your way, provided that it’s not cheating.

Every server has dedicated commanders and players. Unless you’ve played on every single server you can’t really say that yours are the most dedicated.

He is to Fantasy what Douglas Adams is to SciFi.

This is a MMO with a FANTASY theme, he should get an effin plaque in game.
Or at least his commemorative threads left in peace and open.

The turtle moves.

So does that mean we can talk about Lord of the Rings (and Lotro) on this forum? Since it’s kinda the gold standard of Fantasy.

Tribio.8531:

I know them feelz, bro.. :-)

Defensively sieging up a tower (because not feeling like roaming), Alt-Tabbing to check some stuff on Internet, Alt-Tabbing back into the game and seeing the gate is almost down due to those 30 enemies that appeared while you were checking your facebook..

Dude make gw2 unmuted when in the background. A little sound is played whenever the defend event pops up. So you can facebook all you want while scouting.

Did you announce in chat that you were going afk and needed a temporary replacement? Because if you didn’t……….

Also, are you expecting things not to flip in this game? At some point you have to lose stuff either from a long siege or a quick ninja. It’s part of the game. If you get mad about it then that’s your problem and not the game’s.

On a positive note, you managed to hold that tower for 4 hours! That’s something to be proud of.
