its funny how many ka ppl come here and say they dont upgrade, yet every morning they have all keeps and garri’s in all maps fortified and wp’d. and then they say ka doesnt defend, yet they sit 30ppl in smc all day.

plz dont take cheap shots at guilds in this thread, this is not the place for it. If you want to QQ about someone, go here http://www.gw2wvw.net/

I wasnt aware there were any guilds named [Ka] and if there is i was not refering to them. My statement is not a cheap shot, im saying it appears i know your server, kaineng, better than you.

note that he is on IoJ rofl, and after the X weeks of gameplay my opinion still stands this kittening removal sucks.

tanztante.6532:

or you remove the godkitten ed AoE limit on certain skills in WvW already. this is one of the main, if not THE main aspect that rewards blobbing over <20 guild raids. if i, god forbid, place an explosive in a group of 50 stacked people, they will most probably ALL die, if the explosive was strong enough. not just 5 people. ALL of them.

Sirbeaumerdier.3740:

you aren’t suppose/expected to defeat 5 times your number of human opponents anyway.

Skill exist and is important in WvW as long as the numbers aren’t ridiculously disproportionate. The hard rezing isn’t a problem. The number of opponents you decided to attack was. I’ve no problem about Yoloing myself into the fray but I won’t go whine about it when I hit the ground.

i’m not saying it should be easy to kill double your numbers or more and i am pretty sure that OP is not suggesting that either. but it’s a fact, that the combat system has it’s flaws when it comes to larger scale fights. to NOT complain about these flaws is not the way to get some improvements.
in the end, it is up to arena net to decide which course would be suited best, but until they reach a decision, it is up to US to suggest everything that comes to mind. even if it’s out of desperation and considered whining by some elite blob warriors.

By your logic if no AoE cap, a Guild group would even die faster, because your melee train is gonna take alot more damage where damage mitigation is basicly gone at that point, imagine a 50 man blob V 20 guild group, theres 10 necro’s in the enemy blob that means 20 wells on top if you proc’ing 1-2K if not more per pulse on not 5 but 20 people, you’d die even faster than usual, except if enemy blob is bad and can’t aim skills for kitten yeah then the guild group is at an advantage

title says it look at screenshot outer is paper inner reinforced can’t ram through it

cause most rangers can’t actually play ranger most go LB/GS cause they have no clue of the class mechanic, i myself despise any form of bow on ranger, i roll Sword/torch axe/dagger with some survival utilities and no i am not condi regen ranger nor celestial cause celestial itself needs a nerf
EDIT: and they have no potential in WvW thats why most guilds despise em, solo roaming they’re fine ,zerging nope

or not a turret but a trap that does the same but only once instead of continious pulses

i’ma give you 1 example it wouldn’t work, PvP bots go fight those they should ‘resemble’ real players, but they’re pretty afwul at resembling real life players ofcourse in pve this would be semi different but not much

SilverWF.4789:

Also, to make it absolutely fair, they can remake it: damage of Retaliation will return some % of initial incoming damage.
Because now it pretty stupid: you hitting someone for 100 damage and receiving back 400? And someone who hitting for 9k and more damage will receive back 400 too?

So, let it will return, i.e. 20% of damage.
You hit someone for 100? Ok, take back 20 damage
You crit someone for 10k? No offense boy, but this is your 2k back.

And in this case they can don’t do anything else: no once per sec, nor condition damage etc.

you’ve never been full zerk ele in WvW, if that would happen all eles would not even bother using meteorstorm anymore cause of the often 4-5k meteors on 5 players

people still care about that broken leaderbord, what? if you play to stay on there you’re not playing for fun at all, i have seen some guys with 3 wins on #1 spot so…

Mindtrick.5190:

they still have a sticky for the fall tourny to adopt a dev, LOL

and thats how you know Anet doesn’t watch this forum part

aka more siege while people are already tired of ktrains?

How to have a rewarding experience at GW2 WvW:

1. Find a guild
2. Now, find a guild with 3-4 people who actively enjoy doing WvW and every aspect of it, rather than just zerging
3. Set times to play that everyone will be online
4. Log into another server’s borderland
5. Look at the map
6. Using a VoIP server, explain to your new-found, WvW-loving guildies, that you see an enemy camp with your name on it
7. Using the terrain, sneak over to enemy camp
8. Explain with force, to the guards, why the camp is now yours
9. Look at the map
10. Find another camp, or even a tower that now has your name on it
11. Go take said tower or camp
12. Look at the map
13. Notice of anything you’ve taken has been “flipped”
14. If yes, then move to another Borderland, then repeat steps 5 thru 12
15. If no, then then repeat steps 5 thru 12

Pro-Tips:
- Have a group leader who watches the map and assigns targets for the group
- Have said leader “call targets”, or target the most dangerous of any other small group you run across, so that dangerous target is killed first
- Check Metabattle.com for “Roaming” builds, and build your class accordingly
- Use foods and oils
- Treat it as a “raid” or “dungeon” night and enjoy the experience

not all groups do PPT, i solo roam and i could care less for PPT i flip camps well used to before white swords removal to get some people to get me, i love outnumbered fights they keep you on edge ( despise that most people i fight now can’t do kitten to save themselves or run a cheesy condi build and /laugh when you run) but now i run around for an hour lucky to find a single roamer else its a 5+ man group or a zerg

that could be usefull but at the same time annoying imagine you die during zerg fight and ur zerg is completely opposite side of map, making you run all the way back with even further chances of dying along the way

this update wasn’t really meant for fights, its been meant for the death mesmers at watergate bay or other exploitable spots to stay dead forever & get rezzed when no one saw em then port em and cap the spot without anyone noticing

Gudradain.3892:

On lower tiers it makes match up more balanced and more interesting. People stopped staring at the map for hours in a semi-afk state and are now playing the game. Actively scouting.

Also, defending is a lot more interesting since group of any size will now try to ninja your stuff. Before this change, a small group would never even dream to attack one of your upgraded tower. Now they give it a try. It creates interesting fights and a lot of action all the time.

idk what you’ve been drinking but if you think this i doubt ur often in WvW or ur on the stacked server of your tier, most lower tiers who are underpopulated are hurt badly by this can’t hold anything cause lack of scouts

Are you seeing more soloers? rarely
Are you seeing more havoc groups? nope ( cause can’t find them lololol)
Are you seeing more or less upgrades? way less most of time towers at north not even T2 when i’m on
Are you seeing more or less upgrades on particular structures? less on side keeps ( hills & bay, and sometimes garri when lucky)
Are you seeing more roaming scouts? nope cause lack of eu roamers
Are the main zergs smaller? If so any idea why? yes cause people cba to play anymore
Are you seeing more stationary scouts? if we could spare some maybe but nope
Are you doing more scouting than normal? i still do my regular map calls when i see zergs
Are you seeing more or less fighting than normal? way less used to find a fight every camp i flipped now i run around the most stacked server on my tier which is DB and barely see one.
Are you seeing people communicate more/less? i’d say more but don’t quote me on that since i play on offtimes

EDIT: T3 IOJ

never said to put it in but a suggestion for if White swords would be perma removed @ rangerdeity, its a test if it gets positive results they will keep it.

during what time zones, EU is dead i am 1 of the few eb EU roamers ioj has, NA is mostly active ( no idea about SEA or OCX)

I’m from east coast NA.

well they i have no clue, but i gotto admit our wvw has been dead except for guild rallies

like i said in a thread earlier white swords when outnumbered & add the scouting thing from eotm to regular WvW ( you know that radar scanner thingy)

briggah.7910:

If this test event just brought out more K-Training on your server, well sorry to say but sounds to me your server is just a K-Train server to begin with. Sounds to me your server lacks decent roamers and scouters.

Let me guess.. Before this change you all stack on a commander and run around taking things while reacting to white swords on the map? Now with no white swords your stuff gets constantly flipped? YUP K-train server. Break out of your zerg for once..

.

Erm, no not really… I is on IOJ in [DOLO], and before the change we were only using white swords for fights… As for stacking on a commander… LOL, what commanders haha

Well we fought IoJ the week before this no white sword thing and I can tell you I solo/duo’ed a few of your towers when swords were in play. I did it to bring out fights which never came.. Like I said lack of scouts and roamers as far as I can see.

during what time zones, EU is dead i am 1 of the few eb EU roamers ioj has, NA is mostly active ( no idea about SEA or OCX)

since the ‘test’ removal of white swords why not add the radar thing from eotm and put in regular wvw would help scouts keep a better track of zergs running around

skip T3 ur gonna be constantly losing 24/7 cause T2 server in T3 match up go T4 if you want more fun i guess but to be completely honest just stay kitten every tier after that is pretty much dying

briggah.7910:

DemonforLife.8546:

but if you only have like 4-5 people on the map its a lot harder to scout everything simultaneously.

Yes I agree it is harder to scout everything but honestly 4 – 5 people on a map isn’t going to stop a karma train if that’s what the other server brings to your 4 – 5 players.

I like your suggestion though. Outnumbered buff should help more then just give us wxp, exp, mf and no armor repairs.

actually 2 sup ac’s can really keep a zerg at bay i’ve seen it done before but yeah its not gonna stop the ktrain i agree

White swords won’t help you when you are outnumbered.

Dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Sorry this is the dumbest thing I ever heard:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/With-whiteswords-gone-remove-guards-aswell/first#post4640882

and it was created by you LOL

EDIT: Also if you are outnumbered you should be defending. You should have scouts around that will see attacks coming before the white swords appear. People relied on white swords to do the jobs of scouters and roamers and are now finding that they lack scouters and roamers..

but if you only have like 4-5 people on the map its a lot harder to scout everything simultaneously.

Argos Helios.4965:

T3 IOJ server. Since the patch WvW has basically died…every guild is rallying less numbers. In OCX prime we run around for hours looking for anything to fight…and when we find someone its usually 15v1..they died..rinse repeat for another few hours. The funny thing is, the other servers are rallying less as well…so its basically universal ‘well kitten this’ from everyone’. I think everyones gone to rearrange their fridge magnets instead of playing GW2.

Worst. Change. Ever.

aight i’m on ioj to, ever been around EU times 6pm? NNK & TFV spawncamp cause they’re bored, i don’t see zergs at EU anymore to play with so i basicly took my cheesiest solo roam build & ran out to fight people

I agree on this, look at my server Isle of Janthir, We’re in the kittenhole people call T3 ( most unbalanced tier OP) we’re off vs Nsp ( which is around our size & glicko rating so no problem) and DB or as i call em the dragonblob ( massively outnumbered us on any map we’re on and have a glicko rating off 200 higher than NSP which would equal to my server fighting Darkhaven) i am an EU player on NA so i play during our downtime at this time DB has around 2-3 guild groups running and spawncamp us in EB which destroys the fun for anyone. i posted a thread on here about adding white swords being added if outnumbered to balance it up a bit ( even though you can’t stop a 25+ man group with only 3 of you) but at least it will help you keep track of em and able to siege up before they get there.

Title says it all, if your outnumbered in your BL you should get white swords in my opinion, since your already lacking man power to counter the amount of people ( unless they’re really really really bad), since scouting will become harder due to lack of people and the chance theres siege anywhere in any tower is minimal.

DemonforLife.8546:

i’m gonna explain it to you real easely, this game’s balance is based around PvP, where condition damage is on a very good spot

Yeah, condition damage is good in this game. I think the OP is just way off the mark. It’s not about condition damage, it’s about the enemies that we fight in PvE that makes condition damage bad. Change the enemy mechanics, and you’ll improve the functionality of condition damage – because it’s good enough, there’s no need to buff condition damage on the sole needs of PvE when a more ideal solution is improving encounters.

i’m like all around player, i do WvW PvP and PvE(mostly speed runs dung), but 1 thing i always thought of a good idea in PvE only was, some condition should do more damage versus a specific monster likes weakness in Pokémon, example against mordrem burn would do 25% more damage ( cuz plants) and versus humans varrying armor & size bleeding would do X% more damage

i’m gonna explain it to you real easely, this game’s balance is based around PvP, where condition damage is on a very good spot almost over the top compared to zerkers, so this will either A) never happen cause would screw over pvp & wvw small group roaming B ) only be done in PvE so PvP & WvW would stay unaffected by these changes but knowing Anet this will likely not be done.

Its back again & extremely annoying, thieves can now cloak & dagger of walls againso please fix this stupid bug, cause its barely possible to fight thieves in towers or keeps anymore.

thank you anet! now time for some pvp since i got the debuff with the attack this morning

so i got kicked out of 2-3 games cause of DDos attacks after that i played another solo Q game and i got booted out of the game and now i have dishonorable, which is unfair in every way

As the title says i would like the see these devourers be of use to a ranger i mean common their epic and their abilities are pretty good and ranger needs some love with pets kinda gets monotone to see the same pets all day long (maybe even the colocal)

My suggestion would be keep the system but make it easier, at the moment alot of the 25 point traits are hard to do at that level lower the requirement, my 2nd recommendation is remove the overgrown grub trait in WvW this is one is kitten near impossible even with a mass zerg its a way to long fight, and some others OH and 3rd recommendation, make it that the defenses in Orr are harder and do a legendary as the final boss but make it give a daily chest & trait making it easier to get than find a map that has attack open.

literally copy paste the folder from ur C: to ur hardrive will take few minutes to copy everyhting but better than fully reinstall

add my to the list started yesterday evening ingame chat works fine but kitten that latency tried to do world events, was in a TS and the boss died 2 minutes ago while i still fight it aka over 500+ ping ( yes i play from out of europe but this was redicioulous never had the problem) same with wvw today couldn’t do anything to help the zerg

you guys don’t realise, for veterans its annoying but completely new players will have no idea that traits exists i did my first character only traited him when i was like level 45, my newest character thief is already lv 29 in around 15 hours you just don’t know how to level you’re characters

so lets get this out off the way i know theres been kittening bout this but it has some good points, for the first time playing this game i have seen RANDOM people team up so i was in diessa plateau and the nageling giant was there i asked for help in MAP chat instantly 10 people show up while most off the time i get 1 random guy to help me so its a good system for these kind off things but it has its flaws on alot off aspects that you can find everywhere on the forums right now

if you’re from belgium like me its due our internet companies if not i don’t know, theres a thread on the tech support though so check there

belgium here but for me its belgacom probably the internet messing up basicly

same here on IoJ but a Dev was with us and saw the fully heal on the knight

As stin stated they might be in a low level invisible bag (making it impossible to quick store items) or your collectible list is full stacked at 250 ( or more if you bought the expanders)

just use it by double-clicking it, it will add to your finishers

Rickeneter.6148:

So, i tried doing the Triple Play achievement, i started out and i did EVERY single defend event and completed it, so at the end of the cycle it said on the middle right (the message when you complete an event) with the medal saying that every defend event succeeded, when i check my achievements it shows 15/15 completed in the bar, but when i scrool down to the achi itself its still greyed out saying 0/1 ive added it to tracker and it still said 0%. any help?

Every side has to complete his thing Aetherblades, toxic and molten all have to succeed

i have noticed this a long time ago and prevented me from going the elixer build cause you lose around 6 stacks off might ultimately

for the first one yes you gotto use different ones, http://dulfy.net/2014/02/19/gw2-memories-in-your-hand-pile-of-rubble-achievement-guide/ heres a guide (if this is even allowed to be posted) and 2nd one you gotto kill enough most off time i get by killing 2-3 guards but you GOTTO stay near the event cause out of circle is i think not counted

1. you cannot use the same ones again, its gotto be 30 uniques
2. you need to get credit for each one off em aka karma reward

Atm theres a bug in WvW that the PPT is bugged it says all sides have 1 camp and nothing else wich is hugely impossible

if you have ever played the LS shes digging for magic lay lines deep underneath LA hence the bigdrill

had same thing to fix this you go to the ‘Order Of Whispers cave’ inside bloodtide coast and enter the instance this should give you the gift & star

Wanze.8410:

DemonforLife.8546:

So i’ve been running in Eotm for a whole week now and each time theres the chest (for killing the camp defender, tower lord, etcetc) i don’t get the badges, i see them in the chest but i just cannot take whatever i do and its bugging me real hard I probably missed out on 1k badges at least, and i just wanted to know if anyone else has this issue.

You are aware that the badges go into your wallet and not into your inventory?

Uhm, I’ve been in WvW long enough to know that, but i don’t see them adding in my wallet i still see them in the chest unable to be taken
