In all fairness though there are a few points to be seen there; maybe just not elaborated enough.
Personally I hate the fact that I can be finished while someone is in stealth because 1) I can’t see them and 2) I can’t defend myself :/
I also don’t like the fact that I can be in WvW on a Warrior (no stealth), be just there for mapping purposes, and then just get steam rolled by an entire zerg hidden in stealth.
Stealth is maybe a bit OP because it can be maintained. If there was a short 3 second cool down before you could re-enter stealth regardless of being revealed or not; the problem would be solved.
There are many things that can be improved. Whether or not anyone cares to do anything about it is another thing.
I had just gotten my first Karmic Infusion for 10 Laurels the day before this last set of new content was released with the intent of boosting my Karma gain 15% therein after. Now that it doesn’t affect my consumables I’ve been holding on to for so long I personally would have rather spent those 10 Laurels on Ascended gear. Will there be any compensation for this?
I agree entirely. In fact I wrote a lengthy post called Map Rotation Issue talking about something very similar to this. I don’t agree with this system at all because even if we aren’t going up against the same server we’re going up against oceanic servers (opposite timezones which is entirely unfair), WvW servers (servers that care about WvW and thus have 5x the people in every map than we do), never rotating (always staying the same kitten color which makes it impossible to get map completion when pitted against servers that are 7 ranks higher than you), watching the people that are 2 ranks ahead of us beat our faces in and still be 2 Tiers lower than us. This is a horrible system and needs to get fixed. I really only care about the map completion aspect because I got to level 80 in a month with 99.97% map completion and it’s TAKING ME MORE THAN ANOTHER MONTH TO GET 0.03% because we as a server cannot take (and have not rotated to) the green keep. Thank You.
Additionally how is that we lost our last match, are rank 12, and are going up against rank 9 and rank 5 servers? Also how is it possible that BP just face rolled us, is rank 10 and in Tier 5 when we are in Tier 3? I think this rating system is junk.

Okay this may sound a bit rantish, but it’s also very legitimate. I’m in Ehmry Bay and have been attempting to progress my PvE characters. I have them all to Lvl 80 with 99.97% map completion. The only thing I need is in the Green Keep in Eternal Battle Ground’s Vista. We’ve had 4 resets since I’ve tried to get this Vista and each of these 4 times we HAVE ALWAYS been RED! Now if you are in game and /wiki wvw you get a great article titled Matching of worlds near the bottom as seen here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Wvw. I don’t know what the deal is, but each of these resets we have come in dead last and therefore I would assume we would lose points and eventually become green by getting to be the top of the lower ranks. First off I think it is RIDICULOUS that Anet is FORCING people to WvW IF they want their 100% world completion. Second I find it RIDICULOUS that the only way to get the Vista’s, Poi’s and even the SP in SM is to take the Tower/Keep/Castle. We have been put against servers that run literally between 2x-4x the size of us when we are on, are consistently oceanic (meaning we have no night presence and can’t fight back), and consistently getting our faces smashed in. This makes WvW 0.00% fun, annoying as hell to get Map Completion, and just a horrible experience in general. In Gw1 I could do anything and everything I wanted to alone if I wanted to. I could map all 4 campaigns, vanquish each zone, and run around in Urgoz Warren/The Deep/DoA/Slaver’s Exile/UW/FoW just for fun because even in these challenging areas I COULD STILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT MY SITUATION. Through hard work, fine tuning, and skill gained over years of play I was able to get 50/50 on the Gw2 Calculator with little to no help from anyone else (because I was usually helping everyone else). I’m finding this very irritating that I can’t get my 100% Map Completion because: 1) The map refuses to rotate (we are always Red), 2) There are large zergs running around all the time and it only takes 2+ people to kill me, 3) I can’t damage any Tower/Keep/Castle without getting my face handed to me by the time I’ve made || of hp go down, 4) You can’t run a Golem down there alone because someone will eventually notice (and besides – who in their right mind wants to give up their Tower/Keep/Castle for free to 1 guy huh?), 5) There are classes (ex: Warrior) that don’t have stealth and therefore can’t just simply wait for another server to fight over the Tower/Keep/Castle and run in expecting to reach a vista before getting hit once (negating the ability to activate the vista). There are so many ways to fix this too. 1) Don’t make us RED all the time! 2) Don’t allow servers that are on completely different time zones to fight each other. 3) If you allow servers that are on completely different time zones to fight each other have the game dynamically scale the Camps/Towers/Keeps/Castle’s HP, Guard difficulty, Siege damage, and Lord’s HP/Difficulty drastically when ever the “Outnumbered” buff appears (indicating that one server is probably sleeping and the other is just waking up). This leads to at least preventing our entire map from being taken from us while we sleep (because they are on different time zones). 4) Have a toggle making it so when you go into WvW it makes you unable to see any enemies, allows you inside Towers/Keeps/Castles, and treats the map more as a PvE environment. This toggle can only be removed from within the starting location/leaving WvW and coming back in. 5) Don’t make WvW count towards map completion. You have dungeons and PvP locations that all have Poi’s in them that don’t count towards 100% Map Completion – so why on earth force us into WvW just to get it? There are people that don’t want to PvP AT ALL in this game and you’re driving them away from it because the only way to get inside a Tower/Keep/Castle is to PvP or hope to god your server is good enough to take them/server rotates map locations! I don’t want Anet to say “We Fixed It” by making us rotate to a new color and then we have the same problem 2-3 months later when I have a new Lvl 80 that I want to get my 100% map completion on. I’m really looking for some serious overhaul on how the Map Completion works in regards to WvW because this is entirely unfair to those that 1) don’t want to join guilds, 2) don’t want to PvP, and 3) don’t want to play with other people. I personally am in a guild, I don’t mind PvP, and I like playing with people. All I’m saying is that there is a large group of people that you’re alienating by not having a better system in place for map completion. So please assist by replying to this post with either some explanations/expectations/or just a response indicating that you may consider looking into what i’ll call for now some rather serious oversights. Thank You.
I have a Level 80 Guardian, Warrior, Thief, and Mesmer. I am attempting the Meatless Murder Achievement and cannot seem to find a class that can provide enough stability, movement, and damage to effectively kill “Chomper” before he gets 10 slabs thrown in his face that I can’t seem to pick up. Any tips/hints/full gameplay method play by plays would be appreciated.
I’ve heard some talk in game about new fractals coming into the game in the future. My initial thought was “Cool, I wouldn’t mind that”. But then there were people mentioning that in the future there would be a fractal based around the Molten Facility. This became a concern of mine immediately. I recently spent 100g+ on Sentinel’s armor for my Guardian. I’ve only ever had 200g in total for the achievement and I was going to use that for a Legendary I wanted. I haven’t been lucky in this game to get lots of money. The price of these items (Sentinel Inscriptions) have just been going up along with the Azurite materials and Flame and Frost Dyes. I want to be able to buy and use these, but I don’t have the money for it because it’ll cost 100g+ per character I want to gear this way, and the dyes will just continue to rise in price due to their unavailability. There isn’t an effective system to getting the gold to offset the price for these without paying money for gems to get gold. Legendary weapons are ridiculous to get because of the lack of Tier 6 crafting materials. Precursors are near impossible to find. Ascended gear is only going to make the grind worse because of the lack of items dropping. The “Historical” type gear, materials, or dyes will never stop rising in price. Therefore, for the person who would want 1 of each dye, a character that has the max stat gear they want for their play style, and get enough Laurels to get the ascended gear they want becomes near impossible for the casual Gw2 player. So if there was going to be a fractal based around the Molten Facility; would there be Sentinel Inscriptions dropping with them? If not the price of these will continue to rise as their supply continues to drop. This will eventually leave that combination of traits completely unavailable for anyone to have. I find this terribly unfair for someone who starts the game after the fact of these items being essentially removed from the game. So if these items are not to drop in these fractals or these fractals aren’t going to be coming at all – are we going to gain a method in crafting these inscriptions or at least having more granular control on transmuting our stats around so we can have a mock version of it? I would really like some response from a dev. on this topic because I feel I’m slowly losing the ability of having equal chance opportunity, and I feel new comers will feel left out and this will drive away game growth if this continues more and more in the games future.
As of right now it is impossible to get 100% world completion due to the inability to reach the Idea Incubation Lab for it’s Point of Interest. Upon walking through the portal or utilizing the Waypoint it instantly sends you to the Jail. This also leads to an issue regarding Guild Treks. Our guild Silver Saints (SLVR) had 19/20 and could not get the Idea Incubation Lab option because of this error. Please resolve this so we can complete our Guild Treks and 100% map completions in the future. Thank You.
