Guild Wars 2

Brother Grimm.5176:

There is no FIX for this….it’s designed to keep minis from destroying Sever performance and I’m glad they thought enough to put the limitation in there. Much better than the GW1 solution where only the first X number of players with minis out got to show theirs….

Your claim that this performance saving feature is “outrageous” is kind of outrageous…

I hope you’re being sarcastic. A very simple fix would be to hide everybody elses minis but your own in high population maps.

“The point, supposedly, is to make it easier for new players. I’m not sure withholding the game’s most tactical combat options is the best way to do so—especially when the increasing number of account bound systems would suggest a desire to encourage existing players to create alternate characters.”

Complaints from the community are one thing. Bad reviews from large commercial entities can be a death sentence for getting new players interested.

Good, I hope anet actually listens to these bad reviews because they have already proven they don’t care about our “vocal minority” opinion.

I am personally frustrated and insulted by the new changes to leveling.

I have personally deleted all of my pre-80 alts except for my thief because it is 70 already due to these changes. The new trait system was bad enough from the last batch of changes but these new ones are just insulting. The new skill unlock system is disturbing at best. For 2+ years I never once saw anybody confused or bothered by having the ability to use weapon skills easily at an early level. Then the utility skill unlocks are absolutely terrible. No elite until level 40? How stupid does Anet think their player base is? Have they actually received complaints from people that they were getting skills to fast?

Okay if we ignore the terrible trait and skill system we get into other fun stuff like the start of the personal story at level 10. I use to use personal story to help me along with leveling. I enjoyed it, it broke up the monotony of doing hearts and running around. I understand this was most likely just done to kill key farming so I’ll skip ahead.

No downed state before level 5. Was the downed state really that confusing? Did people really not understand what was happening? And how does having it not exist before level 5 and then suddenly appearing out of nowhere play into the concept of not confusing people?

I know I am not the only person who feels insulted, and I’d just like some insight into how any of this makes sense to anybody.

“New achievements will also now be available for completing Wardrobe account unlocks for the series 1, 2, and 3 minis.”

When you already have all the AP for those mini sets, will you unlock them retroactively? Because I’m sure not I’m alone when I say that I have sold all my mini’s after I unlocked the achievements related to them.

Yeah, it is total bullkitten.

Why? He sold the minis, so he doesn’t get the minis now. Makes sense to me.

Because people are silly, entitled brats who think that they must have everything handed to them retroactively when they made a decision before a feature was announced. It happened with the armor in the wardrobe too. People get over it.

No, because these are no longer obtainable. They unlocked the achievements we needed and then we were able to reforge them for the next set. And those unlocked the achievements. Now they’re adding new achievements that we should have had to begin with. So we are expected to keep everything we get in game from day one or else we’re kittened over. This is why nobody likes the games anet plays. I wouldn’t be surprised in set 1, 2 and 3 are on the Gem shop again the day of the patch just to get more people to buy gems and kitten again. Typical crap.

More people who just log in and expect other people to organize for them. Guess what you wanted to raid in WoW? You joined a guild and participated and people volunteered to run the raid and organize and you’d all get on a voip to coordinate. If you’re too lazy to coordinate yourself then you will follow the instructions of the people who will coordinate and do what they say or you won’t get in. Nobody is stopping you from forming your own guild and killing Triple Trouble by yourselves, only you are because you’re too lazy to learn the fight enough to coordinate with other people.

The GW2 is super old, they modified the GW1 engine which is at least 10 years old.

Man, I had all of Set 1 and 2 and forged them for Set 3 minis, now I have to rebuy that overpriced crap for the new achievements. This blows.

Same here, I am stuck with the pet seed and can’t craft the next step without the cultivated seed.

Dinks.2478:

Yeah, she aims her pistol at you as she shoots instantly and then one shots you. Such an amazing tell!

I’m going to take a stab at being civil unlike you, and say it is possible that with lag or a poor internet connection it might look like an instant shot. That’s a possibility but for me, with an excellent internet connection on both my EU and NA accounts the time between the point and the shot is literally 2 seconds.

You count fast, unfortunately seconds are a universal standard so even if you count really fast instant (for the sake of practicality) is still instant and not 2 seconds.

With that said, they might as well remove agony as a mechanic because having a mechanic like AR is pointless when the bosses are so OP all of her attacks are one shots. No class has that many dodges and blocks and invulnerability.

Yeah, she aims her pistol at you as she shoots instantly and then one shots you. Such an amazing tell!

Word, as long as you don’t get hit by the instant teleport instant down attack that she has no tell for. Good job with that insight genius.

Lol she points at you for 2 whole seconds. That’s a tell. Yep yep. It’s like a villain monologue.

Are you joking? She does no such thing. I’ve seen her melee one dude down in one shot then instantly teleport and one shot another person. Maybe she takes 2 seconds at like a lvl 9 or something, I haven’t done noob levels in a long time.

Did a level 49 fractal run last night. Got through the first 3 fractals in 20 minutes, spent the next 30 minutes fighting Mai Trin. Nice “scaling” anet. I genuinely believe that the devs that actually have a say in things don’t even play the kitten game.

So despite the fact that the WvW seasons are still only really beneficial to the bandwagon servers, at least the match-ups changed each week. Now that the season has been over for a while we are back to having the same match-ups over and over. Three weeks of the same servers fighting over and over again. This is just boring, the matchmaking system needs more randomization in it.

MAGpie.7962:

Feelings don’t buy ascended gear.

and that is what it comes down to. Much like being a support build does not really get you rewards from events. Defending doesn’t do much towards winning WvW and it just burns away gold and karma and drops.

I would think that players who play only normal www don’t have too much empyreal or dragonite.

People who play WvW have massive amounts of empyreal fragments. Dragonite, not so much.

well the keep lord loots about 25 dragonite and well if you flip some keeps you soon have far too much

How can one have too much dragonite?

Because, you don’t need that much of it and I already have a bank tab full for each of this useless crap. These rewards are crap. I just trashed mine because I have no room to store it.

You don’t want to knock down a million gates? Are you some kind of loser? /sarcasm

Speedmann.5269:

Simplicity.7208:

Hate it. And here’s why: I’m part of Attuned, a guild focused on fighting those “Hardcore” mega bosses. While it’s nice we can start the boss whenever we want, it’s terrible that we can no longer commandeer a map for ourselves.

Let me explain. Fights like the Triple Headed Jungle Wurm require coordination by 120~160 people with at least 110 of which in the same teamspeak. To accomplish this, my guild has been guesting to empty servers or forcing an overflow for private use. This ensures that we have only people who we know we can count on in the map and furthermore ensures we can actually accomplish killing the Wurm on a regular basis.

With the changes to the current system, it sounds like there will be no such thing as overflows, and no such thing as “empty maps” to guest to. In this case, it seems impossible to purge our runs of PUGs who are either geared incorrectly or unable/unwilling to follow commander instruction. Thus, this system makes future endeavors at killing the wurm (or any future, more-difficult boss) futile and impossible. Our guild is very dismayed over the fact that there has been no considerations for this situation and are skeptical that when this patch hits we’ll be able to kill wurm at all anymore due to the excessive amount of incompetent PUGs that will always be inside our (now merged) Bloodtide Coast.

While reading this i’d like to puke all over you. People like you are the worst thing which could ever happen to a game!

If anet didn’t design the content to be so hard then large guilds like this wouldn’t need to take over overflows and keep casuals and randoms who 9/10 times ignore instructions and cause a risk of failure. Blame your god Anet and not the guilds who actually challenge their ridiculous content in the only way possible.

Sariel V.7024:

skullmount.1758:

Yes I read the article, and that you can still right click join, but how are we going to make sure only TTS members get in (and not their friends/others) before we let other players in (like we do with overflows, especially for the Wurms)?

My guess is you won’t. Moreover, you shouldn’t be able to in the first place, the worthiness of your goals be kitten ed. You don’t own the instance, no matter how many people you put on it. Other players have a right to be there too.

The only way to do these absurd world events is to get as many non-randoms in that will actually follow instructions… So anet can either nerf the events to be casual friendly or allow tools that allow people to get players that actually want to/are capable of doing them to do it together.

Isn’t this just a renamed overflow system? It seems to me that the main servers were removed, the overflow system was renamed and then a simple priority system that groups as many home world,guilds, and parties together was implemented.

Prysin.8542:

Recently, ArenaNet invested in a Q_Q converter. In order to reduce widespread Q_Q and verbal abuse, ArenaNet introduced a brand new Q_Q converter system which turns your Q_Q’s and insults into ingame lag. So far, it is working brilliantly, but for now it is only running at 20% conversion ratio. In the future ArenaNet may turn that up somewhere between 50-75% conversion ratio.

That’s it for tonights amazing insight in how server management works. Cheers

I’m not getting your point.. Are you implying people shouldn’t complain about poor server management and crippling lag?

Cush.4063:

The reason Anet has been keeping hush hush about things like this is because of the player base. I don’t know how many threads I’ve read about people saying Anet doesn’t keep their promises and so they’re untrustworthy and this and that. Then you see threads saying the reason the game is dying (its not) is because Anet doesn’t tell us anything by the same kitten people lawl. Hell I’ve seen both of these in the same post plenty of times. The community has already ruined any hopes for Anet to release future features imo. People have to understand that this is a company with deadlines and a budget and priorities and some things just won’t make it into the game. Its too bad.

You’re victim blaming… The reason people make threads about anet not keeping their promises is because anet does not keep their promises most of the time…

MuhQ.8012:

Please don’t start the nightcap-blame again. Imho Baruch were always great enemies that searched the big fights. They did not hide like other “big” servers and most of the time respected small scale fights.

If you play against a server just nightcapping, adapt and try to work your schedule around them. I know back when we had the manpower we beat BB regulary by moving our schedules a few hours. Let them cap the night if they want and recap early in the morning as soon as they log off, then hold it for most of the day.

Have a good season 2 everyone

Let me just call my boss and let him know I have to move my work schedule up a few hours so I can log onto WvW and recap everything that I lost overnight because a bunch of losers log on at night and get free points.

No, this game is broken and anet needs to make nightcapping a realistic point value. Oceanic players should have their own servers anyway.

Hardcore Fanboy alert. You’re so blinded by being such a fanboy that you somehow manage to ignore everything that is wrong with this game. GW2 could be a good game if the devs actually gave a kitten about it. WvW Season 1 happened and it was a disaster. Tons of feedback and discussion and an entire CDI regarding WvW changes that would help improve the game mode. Instead of doing any of those things they gave us EOTM which is a glorified game lobby where the map is dumb and favors classes with knockbacks and account bound WXP something we should have had to begin with. One of those thing they didn’t even deliver on before WvW Season 2, which is a big waste of time because WvW hasn’t been balanced or fixed and just a distraction while they think up another cliche enemy with terrible writing for LS2.

You know what, I decided I am no longer going to be negative, anet doesn’t care and I am just upsetting myself. Good luck to all servers. NSP, Let us do our best and try to get as high as we can in silver.

Berserk.7186:

Just want to clarify that Sorrows Furnace is NOT tanking, we were doing fairly well until Tuesday when the transfers happened. HoD and CD got pretty kitten big….. We are still doing great in the battles.. its just that all of our buildings are now forever paper.. and holding buildings dictate the “winner”… so yeah.. I hope you guys get to experience these servers first hand in the near future.. so you may be enlightened xD

NSP won’t get to experience those servers We’re going to experience what you’re going through in the silver league as we get stopped right outside out spawn for 9 weeks.

Jeknar.6184:

All this NSP talk about having no people remind me of ol’ Sorrow’s Furnace saying they were roflstomping T8 by pure skill and not superior numbers…

Ah the memories…

But back on the topic we have here: NSP is in a very delicate position… NSP is too weak, to take on HoD/CD (And problably all silver league, except maybe for SoR), and NSP is too strong for FC/DH (And likely the entire bronze league, except maybe for SF)…

NSP is currently ranked as 15th (As it been for the last 3 weeks), thus, being on silver league spot. Also being on 15th made transfers free for NSP until the day prior leagues opening (March 27th).

Being able to easily win over 2 of the 3 top bronze, and being able to receive people for free until the league start, I belive its clear that NSP should (like it or not) be on silver league, along with the other two silver league servers that received free transfers (HoD/CD).

Why should Sorrow’s Furnace, a server that didn’t received the gift of free transfers, be pushed to silver instead of NSP? SF never even ranked above 16th for its whole history, and I don’t belive the time is now (as NSP is much more fitting for it)…

Also, NSP think they were the only server that was rolled over for being one of the last places of a league? DR/Kain/ET, CD/IoJ and SoS/Mag also had 9 weeks of other servers kittenting over their heads just like you, so don’t come cry to me about how unfair your situation was because you were not the only one on it…

Yeah, kitten NSP, only your server is allowed to actually have a chance. Nobody cares about the free transfers, nobody is dumb enough to transfer to a losing server.

Blackjack.2083:

NSP is just in a “tough” spot but one that I think can improve. In all honesty we do not belong in Bronze. However, The difference between the top of Silver and the bottom is probably too severe as well. The biggest problem being coverage….which is a really big problem in WvW. I played all through Season 1 as well and it was rough. At the end of the day though I prefer for us to be in Silver and at least have a challenge rather than the roflstomp that Bronze would have offered. If we get some decent SEA timezone transfers we will be in a really good spot. Just a matter of finding some SEA players who prefer to actually fight rather than pvdoor every night and we’ll be ok.

You’d rather play in silver and be guaranteed last place than win? You’re the problem then. Anet doesn’t give a kitten about this game, all they care about is selling us crap on the gem shop. Every patch has 10 new things in the gem shop and no actual fixes. WvW has been broken and unbalanced since day one, but instead of fixing it they keep making it worse by encouraging people to stack servers. NSP has suffered from this and a lot of other servers have too. I’d personally prefer to win and get rewarded for my efforts than spend 9 weeks hoping to get lucky enough to even achieve my meta and get something out of the whole ordeal.

IncognitoP.1648:

yup. this is what arena net envisioned with the wvw season 2 tournament.
a bunch of hate between players of different servers, and servers intentionally trying to get into bronze so that they can get first place with no effort.

No, they envisioned a bunch of people buying transfers to the top servers for top tier rewards. I just want a legitimate chance to win, but too many servers are tanking on purpose to drop into bronze and NSP will pay for it.

well then why doesnt nsp tank as well then?

Too many players on NSP think they’re winning because we have the population/skill and not because the others are tanking their games. False pride.

We have 16 people in Vigil Keep, real healthy PvE that makes for. The fact is that I have never had a queue for WvW on NSP ever. And last season was 7 weeks of losing. NSP had no right being in silver league then and they have no right being in silver league now. The problem isn’t that somebody would have to take our place in silver, the problem is that the season shouldn’t even be happening until anet balances WvW and can figure out a way to reward people for playing without encouraging server stacking even further.

Arius.7031:

Now this isn’t meant to prove our PvE is more dead than you. Just to show that, judging by the available data (WvW score/current ppt, population in most populated zone of pve, etc…) you probably are more populated than we are and therefore most probably in better condition.

Excuse me, what does vigil keep have to do with anything?

Arius.7031:

UndeadCorp.2198:

And they are leaving….why. Think kitten the lesson of SOR and their “elitism” Arius. Now they are a ghost server. You and I have to ask ourselves this then. Why have no major NSP guilds left? Why are we so consistent? Why do our regular PvE people come in, from time to time to help? It’s because we appreciate the help. We don’t snap at them “why the kitten are you in pve get yo lazy bum over here.” Co-erce them to be part of a greater thing.

Didn’t xoxo leave your server lol? Dh is a pug server, we don’t downtalk our pugs… we’re all pugs. It’s the elitists who left lol, not the people who were victims of elitism. It was the guilds that left (the major guild fin and minor roaming guilds), only a few pugs left, it was mostly our loss of guilds that hurt (though pugs are starting to seriously leave seeing how bad dh looks).

Also lol, we drew on our PvE base to win leagues… I ask that you go back and read threads on the topic if you doubt that. We’ve always had a good relationship between wvwers and pveers, pve players come help when we need it and they know we appreciate them. The problem is when you start seriously running out of players… which we are. Our PvE is sub par, our WvW has no major organized guilds participating in it (which pugs do like to have), and we’re getting spawn camped by NSP who doesn’t let on the karma train (not blaming you, it’s perfectly fine, we did it to you, it’s just the truth). Things aren’t going do well for dh right now, and people don’t appear out of thin air.

Your PvE is subpar? NSP is probably the worst server out there for PvE. I had to guest to accomplish most of my living story meta achievements because we don’t have the population to kill a lot of the world bosses more than once or twice a week with set times and dates. Our players are all very casual. We have a few WvW guilds and a lot of randoms who join randomly. We are not a good server and we don’t have a big population. I don’t know where you get your facts from, but they are not facts.

I agree with Dinks. Nsp this morning just took SM from DH who had wrested it overnight. Then a 30 man zerg from DH went to take it back. Guess what we did. We went to DH BL and took your garrison with 25-30 people.

You should of been able to stop us. By the time your zerg came back, your doors were down, and you have the spawn advantage. It was about a even numbered fight with 30 vs 30. Guess what, your unorganized zerg got hit. Hard. You can blame it all you want on transfers, but I would kitten your inner leadership instead. When we were trebbing DH bay. We didnt just stand around and stare while our two trebs were firing. Our tagged commander led us on running a tight stack/formation follow him drill. Our numbers are more even then you think. Your losing spirit will only serve to make your server spiral downwards. Even when we were in silver, we fought, and fought hard. We learned to drill, and we learned to fight against overwhelming odds. .

You are wrong or lying. I was THERE. I was the one on the treb who called EB. I was the one who destroyed your rams AFTER our zerg arrived, they wp’d in while you PvD’d the door down… Our zerg was in there, manning 4 sup ACs, 3 ballistas, a cata, and a treb all pummeling you. Do you honestly think you’re good enough to beat us at equal numbers, with us having respawn advantage, siege, guards, etc… Admittedly you did a portal bomb to bypass the cata, though the acs were still hitting you.

And when you attacked our keep in EB, and was near capping it, we stopped you. Guess why? On TS, our commander was alerted to the impending invasion, and we were able to come back in time to save it. As soon as we hear the call, everyone drops what they were doing, and rushes to save the high tiered structures. You didn’t save your BL garri like that. You guys took SEVEN minutes to respond. SEVEN. That’s a death sentence. You didn’t even have siege going at your gate.

Yeah, you’re wrong. We got wind of your attack as outer was at half from I think it was 3 sup rams, our zerg arrived in our bl about 1 min later (again, I was the one who discovered your attack, I called EB)… you telling me it took you 6 mins to down outer? You were either not there, are lying, or you’re clueless. Take your pick.

Sure we do have big zergs at certain times, but your servers have big zergs at certain times too. Even when you have 40-60, quite kittenbeaverbuilt useless if your 40 is an unorganized mess, and our 20-30 just steamrolls you with less numbers because we ram into your thin, unorganized, unmotivated kittens.

Oh good on you, your trained guild zergs beat pug zergs! Bravo. Also, we do the same to you fairly often… NSP pug zergs are notoriously bad. I’ve seen FC crush you massively outnumbered, I’ve seen Dh do it… we all do it to each other.

So if you are so good and we are so bad, why are you losing? Stop throwing the match and climb to silver where you belong. Since we’re so bad we should be in Bronze. We are in fact that bad, and we have even smaller numbers than you guys. But you’re arguing both sides of the argument and being ridiculous.

You’re bad with a large pop for a bronze league… We’re bad with a smaller pop. Oh Dh is bad too, don’t let my criticisms of NSP make you think you’re unique in your badness. SF, Dh, NSP, all terrible. NSP is just terrible with large numbers AND consistent coverage (for bronze). SF is at least bad with just an overwhelming prime time. Dh is just bad.

You just claimed NSP has consistent coverage. You’re the biggest liar I have ever seen. NSP has a decent amount of people for maybe 2 hours during primetime.

I get it. You all like being able to do anything you want in WVW due to a huge discrepancy between WVW populations of all of the servers participating in the fight. You don’t want to go to Silver because you all won’t be able to hide behind numbers anymore but have to rely on actual skill to do as well as you all are doing now against the small WVW pop. servers.

You obviously have never WvWed in your life. NSP has NO population. You’re dumb as bricks. NSP doesn’t hide behind numbers, NSP doesn’t have numbers. You’re so ignorant it isn’t even funny. All the skill in the world is useless if you are playing zergs 5 times bigger than you. But you wouldn’t know that because you’ve never stepped foot in WvW apparently.

Yeah I didn’t see the NSP blob trying to camp the DH or FC spawns the last few nights. I also didn’t see NSP attack kitteneep while it was fully upgraded and defended by about 20 people and take it with a massive zerg of easily 60-70 people. I also didn’t see NSP zergs of 30-40 trying to take the kitteneep and getting their butts kicked by a force half their size. You’re right I don’t WVW at all, except for the all the time I spend in WVW (probably more than 3/4 of my time on the game). It’s not me who doesn’t know anything, but you. I love collecting NSP bags after their failed zergs try to fight us in an open field battle and I love watching NSP run back to their towers/keeps when trying to spawn camp FC so we get in range of your siege. NSP has the manpower to do anything they want to in Bronze; you know it, DH and kittennow it, all of Bronze knows it. Like I said, you only want to keep rolling over servers easily and not have to actually fight servers which can field as many people as you.

Once again, you’re full of kitten. Just stop because you sound pathetic. You’re losing to a server with inferior numbers to you and you can’t even admit it.

It might be best to just pop it right before she teleports back to the center so that it’d be on cooldown for the beginning of the next round, but that’d be tricky to time properly. Or blow it on the adds once they show up.

Or, or, or…maybe they could just make her spin/pull/boom not be broken anymore. That’d be nice. daydreams

Alphard. Much broken. Very sadness. Quite ruin.

Shh, don’t agree that it is broken, you might be called a noob for not being able to see the impossible “tell”.

I get it. You all like being able to do anything you want in WVW due to a huge discrepancy between WVW populations of all of the servers participating in the fight. You don’t want to go to Silver because you all won’t be able to hide behind numbers anymore but have to rely on actual skill to do as well as you all are doing now against the small WVW pop. servers.

You obviously have never WvWed in your life. NSP has NO population. You’re dumb as bricks. NSP doesn’t hide behind numbers, NSP doesn’t have numbers. You’re so ignorant it isn’t even funny. All the skill in the world is useless if you are playing zergs 5 times bigger than you. But you wouldn’t know that because you’ve never stepped foot in WvW apparently.

Well right now NSP is rolling over the servers they are fighting (DH and FC) simply because the sheer number of NSP WVW players in WVW at all times of the day. NSP is able to field way more people than almost all of the servers in Bronze. So do you want an easy match in bronze rolling over all the servers except 1 or 2, or would you like to be challenged in Silver?

First of all, right now NSP is rolling over servers because servers are throwing matches to get into bronze. Second of all, since the rewards for this season are based on your servers position in your league, I’d rather be in bronze and actually win then come in last place on silver because you “wanted a challenge”. There is no challenge, there is only crushing defeat. We went through 7 weeks of this bullkitten last season. We got lucky and came in second place twice and 3rd place 5 times. The only reason we came in 2nd twice was because IoJ(I think it was IoJ, I know whoever it was we came in 2nd both times playing them) happens to be just slightly worse off than we are and even that was very close. So yes, I’d rather roll over bronze for 9 weeks then be completely outnumbered and outclassed for 9 weeks of humiliating defeat.

As someone who plays on FC I can guarantee you FC isn’t throwing their matches, instead we are fighting outside of our keep because NSP keeps trying to spawn camp us after their zerg that outnumbers us 4-1 rolls over the entire map.

Ha, you must have 3 players if NSP has a zerg 4 times larger than you. We can hardly fill our eternal battlegrounds. I’ve never had a queue time on NSP.

You literally just took Dh garrison (which that was wp’d, heavily sieged up, and had our full zerg defending it before you got in) 50+ people at 7am in the morning server time. Our zerg was maybe 20 people, so 4x is not totally inaccurate coming from FC person which does not have as many people as Dh.

Wow, you people are so ignorant to reality.

NSP has NO business in silver league as proven by Season 1.

My wall doesn’t reflect ANYTHING. Bombs, that lightning ball, the pull, half of her regular attacks. Right through the wall. Right through feedback. Right through my friends wall. And if that wasn’t bad enough, you can’t see the tell for the pull because of too many attack effects and even if you could, the bomb or mine or whatever it is she throws had no red circle. So basically, buggy as all hell.

If your average is 8-10 G is just the proof RNG is broken.
i struggle to get 2-3 gold out of a lvl 50 run.

Woah, you get 2-3 gold? Mr. Money Bags I applaud you. I usually just get the 1gold that is guaranteed a bunch of worthless blues and an endless amount of useless fractal shortbow skins. Because shortbows are so good.

Oh great, NSP is in silver again. And this time we get 9 weeks of getting rolled over? What a joke. Bunch of servers are throwing their matches again too. I hear Blackgate had a total of 1 camp last week. Totally legit.

Why u removed them?

They gave a reason why they did it

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Upcoming-Forum-Changes-to-WvW-Match-ups-Sub-forum/first#post3393146

Too much overhead to moderate toxic and abusive posters. Looking at the new w2www forums that replaced it I kind of see ANET’s position. Many of those match-up threads are just 20 pages of nerd rage and hate.

If they took the time to balance their gamemode, people wouldn’t be so hateful and full of rage. But that is too much work, so screw it.

She is buggy as all hell. Her bomb only has the red circle like 50% of the time, and half of her attacks that are supposed to be reflectable go right through my wall. The boxes that are by her that are meant to be used to hide from her attacks…yeah her attacks go through those too. I don’t know how you’re supposed to kill somebody who can shoot through walls and who one shots you with every attack they do. Or who has a near instant pull with no tell because of all the effects from attacking her to begin with. Too many attack effects and I can’t even see what she is doing…

And after running a ton of fractals again, I got nothing again. One ascended weapon drop with crappy stats my entire time from fractal lvl 1-50 and beyond. Just another part of the game that isn’t worth my time.

No, all datamined information points to this having been decided before we even voted. Basically it was a rigged election.

I’d like to point out that this is still bugged. I just got this bug today. Over a year after launch and Anet still hasn’t fixed even the simplest personal story bugs.
