Guild Wars 2

As I recall, the devs said they were thinking of adding a debuff to zergs. If you have more than a given number of players in an area you get the debuff.

Hopefully this and other features will be included in the expansion.

How do you tell if someone is zoom hacking, or has a muilti-monitor setup, or is playing in windowed mode and has reduced the size of their window vertically, giving the impression of a multi-monitor on a single monitor?

Hence why you will never get rid of this.

For WvW the exotic gear you can get with gold and badges of honour are good enough, you dont have to shell out on ascended.

If you want to buy ascended gear, then you have to decide which game mode do you like the best, and which build you like playing; and then start saving up to make ascended gear for that.

Exotic gear is good enough for all modes, ascended does have slightly better stats, but only slightly, such stats may determine GvGs, but for PvE and WvW, not so much I dont think. So you can stick to exotics and save your gold if you really feel like it as well.

But in the end it’s up to you and what you want to play.

In the current state of the game, nothing can be done. The devs have designed it so that zerg = win.

Now they say they are making changes in the expansion, but as a few people have said here and on reddit, if the WvW updates are only for those who buy the expansion, it will create a divide between players. If the new map is chosen does that mean those who have not bought the expansion cannot play that week and are stuck in EB?

The expansion is creating a lot of confusion, and if the above is the case, I feel a lot of people will stop playing due to the past history the devs have with WvW and the community. Why should they pay for the expansion when they have been ignored for so long.

So until the expansion is actually released, and we see what features have been added and changed, everything is up in the air, we dont know what will happen.

i am amazed at how a game as big as GW with competitive PvP hasn’t addressed such an issue yet? why aren’t there any rewards\free transfers to weaker servers in order to lure big guilds there and balance things a little bit? why aren’t transfers to already high populated top servers shut down?

OMG how can you say that?! The devs ahve been workign tiredlesslessly bringing us coloured tag, golem mastery and siege disablers!
All of that in just the last 6 months alone!
How can you claim thay they are not adressing issues which have been highlighted constantly and repeatedly since launch and nothing having been done about them in 2 years?!

Honestly, if you havent done any coding you have no idea how hard it is to colour something in!

Devs want to have fun too; why should they join a low population WvW server and not have fun?!

I dont remember sending pole requests to the mods but I sure have hell been royally kittened by them repeatedly!

It’s to keep the balance, what little there is, in WvW.

The plan, at release, was to create more maps and eventually create a rotation system, but we’ve seen how well that has gone.

But yes, this is what happens when part of a game is neglected.

I think we have the right to complain about certain “skilled” players in WvW, who, thanks to no action being taken in the last 2 years, are brazen enough to show their “skills” for all to see!

McWolfy.5924:

Character collision what we need

Tell that to my ele. Mist form seem to be stopped by anything and everything!

I am a mist how the hell is this player/pet/rock/blade of grass stopping me?!

I’m so Excited™
And I just cant hide it
I just get infracted whenever I try it

Kraag Deadsoul.2789:

they need our help in making it look like Everything Is Awesome!

Oi, stop stealing my quote! :@

Also the official video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTqXEQ2l-Y

Thing is that for all of the strict moderating of this forum, upper management has to know about it to tell the mods to remove all the negative stuff! There is no way they dont know!

Or are the staff so scared that they want to remove everything before upper management realises things are desperately wrong here and get in trouble to not meeting their unrealistic goals?!

Or is WvW not doing so well in China, that they want to show how it used to be in the hopes the players there stay a little longer to buy gems?
Had anyone got an update on the China servers? Last time the queues were in the thousands, wonder what it’s like now….

Oogabooga.9138:

Coming to us asking for assistance in creating what is very likely going to be used as a marketing tool (PAX is just around the corner; no wonder the short notice and rush to get these videos by next Tuesday) is condescending and perfidious in the extreme. It amounts to, “We’ll ignore you for two years but as soon as we need your help we’ll come begging for a favor from you.”.

You know this explanation is so plausible!

We know they have been working on WvW SO much that they cant talk about it.
They have been working on WvW SO much that they forgot to do a presentation for WvW for PAX whilst making the presentation for PvE Living Story. It’s an easy thing to forget whilst you are working with such dedication on WvW.

So in a last ditch effort they try to get all the source material of fights, laughs and silly bits from the people who actually care about WvW!

Well Anet you’ve asked us for videos, and you’ve received our responses.

Those who are giving you one last chance are submitting videos whilst others are asking why do you want them?!

So what will these videos be used for?!

I do good yes?

Humiliation!

Thanks for that reddit link.
So can we assume there is going to be a trail weekend soon? Or are they going to introduce limited trial accounts, can play as much as you want but max level 10 chars?

Well either way I say we help them out this time, see what they do, and then wee what they take away from it all.
So take this as an opportunity to “communicate” with the staff and show them that WvW is only dying because of a lack of updates. That it’s up to them to fix the problems and release new content and maps to make WvW fresh again!

Ah, nope all back now; well at least on this account, I made a pokemon reference and got an all expenses paid trip for a day!

but wouldnt it be easier to submit videos and the staff can then just use the video, remove the audio and replace it with their own??

If we were to list real content updates to WvW, EOTM would be the only thing listed (i only add that to please lordkrall, the rest of us know EOTM isnt WvW)
Along with the “GvG” area in OS, which can be disrupted by and troll. As well as being matchup locked, meaning guilds from other tiers cannot join in.

We asked for new maps for WvW, they game us a waiting room, which ended up being a karma train and fast leveling area for PvE players.

Remnant.7461:

Perhaps newer players will start playing WvW once all of you expert players have quit and everyone is “new again.”

This is already happening, there are players who have been playing for under a year, who are now posting suggestions in the forums on what the devs can do to improve the game.

The issue is that these same suggestions were made 1-2 years ago, some of which we have been told they like and are working on. Yet 2 years later still nothing.

And that is the problem, they are attracting people to the game via PvE and Living Story updates every 2 weeks. So these new players, once they realise they can finish PvE pretty quickly end up in either PvP or WvW. It keeps them occupied for a while until they then realise that only PvE seems to get updates, nothing else.

It is this reason why they see an increase of player numbers when a new Living Story episode is released, and then a fall when the Living Story episode is completed. They come on to get the achievement points then go offline for 2 weeks whilst the new episode is prepared.

This method is a REALLY BAD way of keeping a game going. Over time the good review turn bad, and then people stop playing, and potential new players dont buy the game.

DevilishLyx.2340:

I think you’ll find it’s the ones where they know their game is failing that refuse to reply to players.
Games which are still steadily going on, the devs and mod at least try to reply to some threads, or post updates every now and again on how the game development is, or isnt, going.

You mean just like they are doing here?
But maybe not in the part of the forums you would prefer?

Praise the lord!
The devs and mods are highly active in the PvE forums!
WvW is saved!

:/

Smokee.1754:

City State games have already communicated more about their plans with RvR in CU than Anet have with their plans for WvW 2 years after release. And CU havent even reached Alpha stage yet.

You mean just like how ArenaNet communicated much more before release?
That is basically what every single company does.
They communicate massively before and during release on order to get players interested, but sooner or later all of them communicates less and less.

I think you’ll find it’s the ones where they know their game is failing that refuse to reply to players.

Hi guys I’m back after a nice holiday for necroing all those posts

Oh dear, what have I done?! A red post demanding we stop highlighting things they said they were working on but none of them coming to light, except account bound WXP.

But you know what, what I believe is the most concerning thing is that after making this threat, a whole load of WvW players have voiced their own concerns; not only about the game, but the response by Mark and the attitude taken. And Mark and the rest of the moderators have gone quiet yet again!

What will it take to get another response from them?!

FirstInfantry.2795:

i just don’t see how adding a new wvw map, fixes the problems in wvw

It doesnt.

What it does do is create new maps to play on.
New maps to explore.
New maps to fight on.
New maps to devise new tactics on
New maps to bring back a few players
New maps to keep us interested in the game for a bit longer

EOTM was made for PvE players to K-Train. A new map will refresh WvW, even if it is for a few months or a year.

But I bet you if they did release a new map for WvW, their graphs will spike a lot higher and for a much greater duration than they currently get with the LS episodes.
And if they do that they’ll realise WvW needs more variety, and we’d soon get a whole host of new maps and a rotation system in place in no time!

We just need that one new BL map to replace the current one!

Well they did say it takes time

What is there to do?!

The guy is having fun. Anet want us all to have fun, right?

Well seeing as there are no plans for WvW’s future, this is all that is left to do….

Please refer to our previous conversation where I listed all the so called updates as being mundane, and fixes, not updates.

But who’s more childish, us necroing old posts, or Anet for infracting, banning and deleting any and all posts which hinted the slightest bit of negativity towards to game?
They arent infracting as much now as it’ll look worse for them.

Matt Witter.6982:

Hi everyone!
I wanted to let those wondering know; we are racing to reduce the queue times. We are gathering as much data as we can on this situation and looking at multiple ways to get even more people into WvW. We are absolutely amazed at the amount of people wanting to get into WvW, and will do everything in our power to ensure that everyone that wants to play can play. While I’m not able to say exactly what our plans are at this time, many options are on the table and we are working quickly to get the most viable options into development.

Please close this thread we found out what your plan was: To ignore and have the WvW community have a wild-goose chase.

This and not updating WvW for 2 years whilst updating Pve every 2 weeks led to lots of players leaving and the queues reducing.

Great job! Knew you would come through sooner or later! Keep up the good work.

Still no ETA on this?

Oh well close thread :/

Nope they are killing the message and banning the messenger instead. In their eyes everything is awesome and so is this!

Man that song so suit Anet, I really wanna make a parody but I cant sing

New players to Guild Wars 2?

Arent they supposed to be driving players to Wildstar by providing kitten poor service leading to angering the players to move to other games instead?

Thread closure in 3 – 2 – 1

Nice one mods instead of doing that other thing which people have started noticing now, you now choose to close threads to prevent them from being necroed.

Trust me we already think you are the worst publisher ever! You dont have to worry about your image, we dont think highly of you any more.

All you’ve done is surprised us. We thought you couldnt get lower, but you proved us wrong.
