Guild Wars 2

Nemis.6874:

And what? You are not WvW player only just play EoTM, karma and wxp farmer.. look at your spell, lol. btw gz for nolife eotm farm.

Gratz on not reading the thread at all.

Regina Buenaobra.6193:

The idea of having a dye template is a common suggestion, and a great one. It’s been floated to the development team before, but I just raised it again as an idea to remind them about it.

While you’re at it, remind them about the build and equipment template we’ve all been asking for as well.

Make thread to vent/complain
Provides no solution or idea to solve problem
Expects anet to come up with solution
Yea, good plan……

You have absolutely no idea what server pride is.
Just because your server was horrible enough that things went south and you lost your loyalty to it, doesn’t mean there aren’t servers out there with tight-knit, healthy communities that want to keep things the way they are.

Firebaall.5127:

Congrats on getting something done in the game that’s unusual.

It’s too bad that Anet doesn’t have something to show a player’s peers the achievement. The only ones that see this rank are the enemy. WvW ranks should have a little icon beside your name (like the map completion), that represents your rank tier.

Why? So that it becomes easier for people to discriminate?

Stora Ge.9207:

BTW: DB has lost two of its top WvW guilds so far due to this decision. .

Which ones? AKD and?

Now would be the absolute worst time to increase the cap. Wait until the tournament is over.

If you are bored when defending, you’re doing it wrong. There are way too many things you need to run around and take care of, there’s no time to get bored.

Refresh siege.
Build siege.
Escort yaks.
Defend camps.
Upgrade camps.
Kill roamers.
Scout large groups.

I only ever experience lag during huge blob v blob fights which only really happen in EB. Anet’s done a fairly good job fixing a lot of the lag issues and there seems to be more fixes coming in the Feature Patch. I suggest getting informed before making a rage thread.

Rayya.2591:

25 + 3 + guests, pugs near you , you getting close to 35 :P

That’s the case for every single guild in Gold League.

Orswich.6423:

I think DB is just avoiding getting smashed like last season.. lets face it, there is 3 T1 servers and 2 true T2 servers.. and whoever ends up 6th is a T3 server up against T2 and T1 servers. Hell even the other two T1 servers ganged up to fix the results vs Blackgate

so the format should be changed, 2 × 12 team swiss style is best suggestion I have heard, but there has to be a better way.. because when a server gets smashed as hard as DB did last year, they lose ALOT of dedicated players (transferring servers, and many left the game altogether).. don’t think Anet wants to keep losing players, but they seem to love the transfer $$$

Most of those guilds left when DB dropped back down to T3 after the tournament. And they transferred to T2. Now you know where DB wanted to be. The only ones that wanted to be in silver were the ones that wanted to faceroll the tournament and get easy achievements.

This change is pointless for lvl80s. Please make it turn off once a character reaches lvl 80.
I want to be able to play on my main character and get gear that my alts can use.

Deli.1302:

Why would you want to be in Silver League and get no good fights when you can be in Gold League where you will be bags galore?

Fixed

So you are incapable of winning a real fight. Gotcha. Now I know why you want to be in Silver. It must be more fun to fight doors and upscales

Servers that tank are cowards. Why would you want to be in Silver League and get no good fights when you can be in Gold League where there will be bags galore?

I would say congratulations but I will just say congratulations to all the people who followed you, and your guild without them it wouldn’t have been possible. Oh and that account sharing thing… nasty business.

thanks for the link!

That guy doesn’t have Diamond Legend lol. He was just trolling.

Hello Ryan,
thanks for this information.

Any tips on how to get name of those trolls that kick you from your own instance quickly?
There usually isn’t time to write anything down or to make any screenshots.

Thanks in advance!

There appears to be some nice debug messages for party join/leave that I’m going to see if I can turn into “LFG Messages” in the chat log which should make this easier…

Or perhaps implementing a “Past Party Members” tab in the Y Panel that let’s us see the names/account id? We had this in gw1, it should be doable for this game as well.

With the release of Feature Pack 2 on September 9th, WvW players who reach rank 10,000 will be able to continue earning WXP and rank-up chests.

thats great thanks!

may i ask if i am the first one who reached rank 10,000?

I can answer that: no. I know someone on Ferguson’s Crossing who reached it a few months ago. But congrats! That is a lot of playing _

Pics or it didn’t happen. Only other person I know that was getting close was Honeymoon on TC.

It’s not about lack of numbers. It’s about lack of organisation.

Fail troll

When you have 20-25 on the map and 0 people in teamspeak and no commander tag? Yeah that’s called lack of organisation

Some servers can just get things done without having to be in teamspeak, and if anybody ever signs into a map and doesn’t know what to do without seeing a commander tag, that’s a sign of a bad server right there.

Having no commander tag means people new to WvW in your server will not know what to do. Having 0 people in teamspeak diminishes the sense of community. Having no focus on a map means you won’t be able to attack or defend efficiently, further demoralising new players. All this fuels the ‘ded server’ name

Yea. SoR had all those things. Near universal teamspeak usage with lots of laughing and karaoke. Pugmanders round the clock. Lots of scouts and inter-map communication. Now look what happened.

That’s just as bad as having 20 on tag but 50 on ts on a queued map with no other forces… like a certain server I know….. >.>

If this makes karma train commanders in eotm afraid to tag up, good.

SFR easy win.
BG easy win.

Both servers have the most no lifers.

thanks to everyone for joining in the good and in the bad times,

supporting me and bein on the battlefield!

im not getting any more wxp, the wxp bar is just full and it shows:

49,979,000 / 49,979,000 WvW Experience

Looking at your build, everything I have ever suspected from a ridiculously high ranked WvW player is confirmed. The EoTM ss, is just icing on the cake.

Lol if you think that build is what he uses in wvw…. This isn’t NA.

King Amadaeus.8619:

http://mos.millenium.org/servers/history/38

Staleness is the biggest killer…Basically the same matchup for 6 months, swapping a DB for an FA here and there, even in leagues it was pretty stale.

Once the GvG’s started to die off, guilds from Mag started to die off a little. Meanwhile some of the more notable gvg guilds from FA/SoS left T2 or disbanded; Those two things sorta snowballed a bit and got the ball rolling for us to drop outta t2.

Mag is not really a ppt or a pugmander server(probably has the fewest tags running of any server I have been on) for the most part, so without the “carrot” of gvg’s there was really no reason to try and stay in T2.

Mag ppt’ed it’s kitten off twice to get into gold, knowing it would get stomped on the scoreboard but they wanted the fights/gvg’s. This time around there is no incentive to really go that route. I think Mag will end up either in T3 or bouncing between it and T4. Don’t be fooled, there are some people still here, but a lot are playing AA and the rest are not in tryhard mode at all.

According to the guilds that left it was due to the elitist attitudes of the gvg guilds, getting ridiculed for playing wvw as intended by anet, doing the bulk of the hard work to keep the server in T2 with little to no support from the other half of the server.

From the looks of it there seemed to be two different communities of players within Maguuma and both didn’t play with each other which is a recipe for implosion. Exact same thing happened to SoR.

LordByron.8369:

If you consider 20 players blob maybe, but last weeks opponent servers outnumbered SFR zergs by 2-3 to 1.

Both kodash and deso.
Have screens.

But i have to say i only speaks about borders.

Its likely EB could have huge blobs i almost never play in EB so i can’t say.

You obviously haven’t heard about the Teamspeak current clients feature lol.

1. Anet chooses

But it better be good. We don’t need another CDI about CDI’s or about Living Story.

Congratz Funny Sunny Bunny!

Chaba.5410:

EOTM is not WvW

He got up to mid-Mithril rank from doing actual WvW and switched to EotM during the Spring Tournament. And he’s had Ultimate Dominator for god knows how long now.

Reverence.6915:

Deniara Devious.3948:

Welcome to visit Desolation. Almost no queues at any hour, tons of enemies to fight and run away from, since Deso is EU tier #1 and enemy servers tend to be stacked.

How’s the NA-OCX presence? I’ll be sure to come over after the tournament thingy since I’ll be only on my main account during that time for obvious reasons

If their NA commanders are on, Deso has the largest NA presence in EU. If a well known commander is leading during ocx then they have a presence there as well.

How much will you pay.

zhonnika.1784:

Ark did not come to JQ. Not even sure where that rumor came from.

T2 guilds do seem to be moving to T1 for fights/gvg, but there are still not even as many people up here as you would expect.

Wait till the tournament.

Mr. Whiteside, I have a question.

Do you remember the Commander CDI 1 year ago? Why we got only 3 more colors out of it? I love the idea of CDI, but after this I wonder if the community’s time and effort are wasted…

Or maybe the big improvements to the commander system are yet to come?

Do you?

The main things that came out of that CDI was different colors for tags and account-bound tags.

Both which we are getting now.

Wrong. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Collaborative-Development-Commander-System/page/14

Commander Visibility
More options for the Color/Shape of the tag itself. This could be tied to functionality or rank of commanders but mainly targeted around organization.
Removal of buff display to enemies. As well as we should avoid doing skills/abilities that highlight the commander to enemies.
Ability to limit visibility to a sub group, party, guild, ect..
Tag sizing. (I debate this a bit as when you auto size the tag you can often lose the ability to see how far away something is but it was brought up a lot so listing it here)
Add squads to LFG system.

Commander Tools
More detailed supply info that’s always up. (Increased radius)
Ability to create sub roles within a squad.
Current squad tools are rarely used.
Seems to be some debates on buffs to followers, but there is a lot of good examples of ways to do that.
Squad size needs to be increased.
Ability to group up parties or other commanders to form different squad organization.
Improved chat suppression for commanders
Commander announcements (yellow text across the screen)
Open/Closing Squad tools

Commander gating
Current 100g gate isn’t the cleanest gate. (Whole goal behind a gate is to limit the number of commanders out there.
Gating using WvW abilities seems to have some debate to it, but seems like something we should avoid.
Account bound commander tags vs character bound.

This wasn’t even half of the suggestions in that thread either. The fact that Anet paid it’s WvW team (if there is one anymore) for 8+ months to add different colors to Commander Tags and make them Account-Bound is baffling. Yes, i know, they also worked on EotM, and Golem Mastery, and Siege Disabler, but EotM came out in February 2014. That’s 7 months for Golem Mastery and Siege Disabler?

So yes, i agree with Chris Whiteside, and it’s not worth the frustration when player’s suggestions are ignored. And yes, they were ignored and weren’t implemented.

Hi Nexxe,

My advice to you then would be to not get involved in the next round of CDIs.

Chris

That’s a legitimate question though.
After 2 WvW CDIs, 8 months later, all WvW developer team can deliver to us is new Tag colors, new mastery and siege disable trick?
I’m no programmer, however, I fail to see how this would take 8 months considering the size of the Arena Net.

Great suggestions, feedback and well thought out criticism has been written many times before, however, there’s no fruition.

That’s because there is no development team that works exclusively on WvW.

None of those servers have OCX. CD and DB have SEA, which is a completely different timezone.

Does GH even have queues now?

Chris Cleary.8017:

There are really two sides to this, and when it comes down to it, you are both right – and you are both wrong. Both sides have the right to complete the task that they set out to do (completing or not completing).

Challenging another player’s play style is the issue here, and since this revolved around an event that was designed to be completed, it is being changed so that the original design of the event can be carried out.

When something in the game (such as this event) changes negatively as this has, we need to step in and remediate the toxicity. The byproduct of this change happens to be that a champion farm is being slowed, but since that was the originating factor for the toxicity, it’s unavoidable.

I encourage players to remember that not everyone has the same goals when they play, and sometimes they will clash.

Thanks for fixing this. Now can you please do something about pvers karma training in eotm? It’s getting a little out of hand… especially since multiserver guilds are being set up with the purpose of streamlining the farming with all three sides actively collaborating.

Because people got bored. Not because a lack of players, or one guild stacking great players, or cause there wasn’t enough pugs to fight, OR because ppt(lol ppt).

People just got sick of the repetitive WvW. Anet does nothing to fix the game mode, instead introduces new RNG skins and stupid WvW tournies that nobody likes except(you guessed it!) pve players that want new skins.

People then look at new games like Archeage and Wildstar, that look refreshing and hopeful, and from there it’s GG for GW2. Blame Anet for the lack of content.

This doesn’t make sense at all. From what I’ve heard the only guilds that are dying are the gvg guilds. The ones that play wvw as intended while getting their dose of good fights in the process are all alive and well.

PvP is supposed to be repetitive. What changes is the experience each time you log in and play it. Don’t blame the system when the guilds were the ones that decided to reject all forms of wvw and made it stale for themselves by doing literally the exact same thing everyday.

You do know that WvW population is in the kittenter right now?

A year ago WvW was booming with T5 servers getting queues in prime time. Now T2 does even do that….

Every game gradually loses players over the years. What that has to do with bitter gvgers who killed their own made up game mode and are projecting their negativity towards the rest of the wvw population, I don’t know.

Dzagonur is dead/dying for some strange reason
Maguuma is dead/dying for some strange reason
Devona’s Rest bandwagon halted at T4.
Which NA server becomes the next bandwagon is anyone’s guess.
Gonna be hard to predict for EU since silver league is gonna be mainly french/german servers and the international servers in gold league are all full (queues).

Since the fall tournament for NA is 12/12 format instead of the previous 6/9/9, I’m guessing servers in T2 (since T1 is full) and T5-6 NA will get the bulk of the transfers.

Actually T5-6 are not getting the bulk of transfers, stacking even more guild in t1 commenced 1 week ago.

A couple guilds getting bought by T1 servers =/= stacking. Still several weeks until the tourney.

Pretty sure most of the “gvg” guilds have reverted back to being just good ol’ fashioned open field fighting wvw guilds to just enjoy the game for what it is/offers rather than stressing over something that isn’t worth the effort.

Rangers were designed for small-scale/1v1 fights. Deal with it.

For NA, there would probably only be a queue if all the ocx guilds were on the same map. Even then there may not be a queue.

For EU, excluding the past two weeks where there has been some major slacking, SFR queued EBG everyday from late ocx onwards. And the roaming was fantastic.

Big Boss.5206:

Is this like a trick question? Everyone has already been stacking on DR, it has become the new bandwagon server for this tournament. It was decided on Reddit like 3 weeks ago and the move has already begun.

12/12 format for the upcoming tournament so stacking on DR is gonna give you a bad time.

That’s EB. Even low tier servers can get zergs like that in EB.

Reasons For Mounts
-Easier exploring – we already have waypoints
-Faster Travel – we already have swiftness + waypoints
-Looks Cool – matter of opinion
-Anet can make money on Mount “Skins” – they can make money off anything
-It can be balanced properly – anet doesn’t have a good track record for that
-Do not see how it hurts lore – its nonexistence doesn’t hurt lore either
-can be useful in World v World if balanced correctly – wvw maps are already too small

AysonCurrax.3254:

Belenwyn.8674:

Josh Davis confirmed that the coming tournament will not be the only event where you can win the mini. In future events you have also to survive the first round to get the Llama.

There will be enough opportunities for collectors to participate those events.

Yeah, but, if you cant get a team together for whatever reason, or you get matched up against a professional team each and every time you try, it is not very likely you will ever get it. The limitation to 128 teams surely doesnt help.

Make friends.

Burst can be countered easily by getting good.
I’d say condi bunkers are more of a problem.

Your tier must have been the unlucky one to get their matchup hosted on the laggy EB map. Should be fine by next week, unless you guys get that specific server again.

If they could drop it, it was legal.

Actually the buying of guilds helps make wvw more competitive (as if it’s competitive). Makes people/servers hate each other even more which fuels competition.
Also makes things more exciting with everyone trying to make the bandwagon server collapse and then the joy that comes when it finally happens. And it will happen.

As if golems needed buffing……………..
