Chris the issue is that if the server name is not listed anywhere, the server community will die. Not a big issue for lowest servers, but some of the top bronze might suffer from this. Its sort of a forced move to high tier, where you might get linked to a new server eery 3 month.
To all who defend DBL, let me ask you something, why there is 100+ man queue for EBG and no queue for DBL, even after the changes?
And please dont start with “people dont know the map”, because i spent 2 days on DBL this week, and still annoying me as much as before. If the map is so awesome how come the majority of the WvW players still queue only for EBG and they are ready to wait hours but not to play the new map?
In my humble opinion, no matter what Anet will make / remake with this map it will never be fit for WvW.
But hey, what do I know, I’m just a WvW player.Because of people like you, obviously.
Not that there’s anything wrong with you or your ilk, but some folks don’t like it for varying reasons. Some of those reasons make sense to me and some don’t, but it doesn’t matter in the end.
There’s a whole lot more that goes into it, of course, but there’s the simple answer.
What about the glicko hell of low/top tiers? Will you prevent tier walls with this system?
All they need is to remove fire turrets, remove earth walls, clean up oasis to make a flat plane for open field if ppl want a big flat space, plus move n towers in range of outer Earth Keep.
Great changes to DBL.
Much better map than the boring Alpine.
The new bl is great . you can keep your queues in ebg.
1. How do you feel overall about reward tracks?
I like them.
2. What are your thoughts on the rate at which you gain participation?
It feels a bit slow, but might be an issue if its too fast.
3. How do you feel about the rate you earn reward track points?
OK.
4. Overall, what are your impressions about the types of reward tracks we have?
They are fine.
5. Are there any other reward tracks you would really like to see?
Fractal like Ascended gear. A way to get wvw only merchant contract for selling greens/blues.
Its a beta test. Let it happen and see if / how people abuse the system.
Great addition. TY Anet.
Why do you need catas while roaming? Makes no sense. Leave pvd to havoc or blobs.
If he is trying to help his server, it makes no difference if he is trying it solo, or has 80 people with him.
I have nothing against havoc. Have solo or duo flipped plenty of keeps/towers.
But when roamers roam, they are looking for other roamers to fight. Not flip towers for ppt.
Or at least it used to be like that. Maybe its different in T1.
Why do you need catas while roaming? Makes no sense. Leave pvd to havoc or blobs.
Another time, another era, my guild FL would’ve happily given your [lion] guys in tRex fights. We used to roam in 3s-5s.
Dood that was what lion was about, our guild leader wanted 5v5’s. But being off hours was always hard to organise. But im sure tRex is up for 5v5’s, just requires a bit of organisation.
I need to stop posting in sleep deprived mode as I forgot to add in my “incentive to roam” post that, like you guys on YB, we also wish for smaller fights sometimes. In the last month, during NA EST prime when I am normally on, the only guilds I ever saw traveling with 10 or less were you guys in tRex, the occasional ROLL havoc squad, or MnM. Can’t speak much for other time zones…
If someone is offended I missed their group, by all means I apologize but I frankly have not seen you. To the left is my account name and feel free to message me to our little groups together to fight.
Speaking of small squads, whatever happened to KoM on JQ? They were here for like 3 weeks and then magically disappeared. They were a welcomed addition to T1.
^This. In the end, it’s a game. And while I posts angry rants sometimes… I’m more frustrated at ANet. Alpines can’t come back soon enough.
There is AI on YB as well, i see them running around a bit with 10 or so. For larger scale stuff than us, Boo is in for 15’s i believe.
Boz, UL, Rush, Ley, VoX? I don’t play much, but I generally see a couple yb groups running less than 10 on a map. I am sure I am missing many more, but I have been away for a while so might be missing a few. Sad to hear that SG isnt running havoc. was fun looking for you on the map.
DR is not really a good fit for TW and co. No one is going to stick on their pin, or voltron much. Plus I am sure LUN alone has more numbers than the whole of DR. So I really doubt that. Many ppl on DR are there for smaller scale fights and not for the mapqueue war efforts. So while I think TC and Dr are a nice fit, the alliance thing makes no sense.
Anet just likes to drop a bomb out of stealth.
Cant BG/JQ just buy more guilds? What did you people do with the warchest?
DBL is a better map. But its too hard for zerglings to ktrain. We need more zerglings, so maybe have alpine back for a bit, than bring dbl back.
Yes, the problem is even when we send commanders over to YB to try and teach the pugs to not be one push material, they still die as fast as they can and run back to PvD. LOL
YB currently consists of too many smaller guilds that want to do their own thing to forge a unified zerg with larger guilds. That isn’t a problem that needs to be solved at least from the perspective of many YB players. YB is doing very well and by most accounts enjoying the game quite a bit.
Yes, we sent commanders there to teach them how to fight so it could be fun.. It was terribly hopeless trying to make YB try to fight. They wont change builds, classes.. nothing It was just pitiful TbH. We sent commanders to TC to do the same when they were in T1 as well, and they were not great but still a ton better than YB.
I am not sure pitiful is the word I would use to describe a server that consistently wins a game based on how it is scored. and here we are… YB is “winning” each week and seemingly enjoying WvW possibly more than the other servers. You can keep stating there is something wrong with that mindset but ultimately YB is extracting what it wants from WvW despite a small handful of enemies QQing over their tactics.
Course I really don’t enjoy large zerg pirate ship meta fights and hate the lag they generate. I like roaming, scouting, skirmish and join in the larger fights as needed so in that regard YB is a near perfect place for me at the moment.
So what are they going to do when they fix the scoring problem that will instead give more points to PPK than PPT to keep the game mode from dying? If they never learn how to fight, they will never survive the PPK changes needed to save the game mode?
Yes ," pitiful" is the word when they actually think dying as fast as you can is better than trying to fight in a PvP game mode. I don’t think you get it.. Both JQ and BG stopped trying to win a long time ago.. This was discussed openly in the communities forums prior to doing so. They are winning because no one cares. It isn’t an " achievement" when the " opposing teams" have been trying to make them better players so they can actually have fun fights again instead of bothering with winning.
Think about this for a second. Tier 1 ENEMY guilds went to YB and brought them to Tier 1 from Tier 2. Tier 1 ENEMY guilds are over there still trying to train their troops so they can fight because they could not even do that. What exactly are they winning when the servers they are fighting are the reason they are here and are the ones helping them try and get better? LOL
Pls don’t stop the crusade, its fun to read. But fyi YB was perfectly capable of trolling other servers before it got to zergling paradise (T3-T1). This thread reminded me to send a few stacks of sup acs to my YB friends. Never change, YB!
1. Pop balance + remove night capping.
2. Rewards.
3. Transparent development. Most ppl quit because they lost faith in your ability or interest in wvw development.
Keep new bl with some changes. You can rotate Alpine with it. But just returning Alpine isn’t going to fix wvw. It was a boring map, most ppl quit before HoT because wvw was stale.
Why there is 0 info on the update after a year of work? Makes no sense.
Post some info.
+1
Remove it.
Yup, but a fat chest in the keep and people will be rushing to storm it. Simple, really.
Will just be another EOTM.
They were saying the same thing 3 years ago. Generally with anet generic Colin statements mean that they have no clue and need more time.
make a f2p account on tier 4 and one on t1/t2 for zerging.
You are asking why zerglings rather stay in 100man queue than go roam? I am sure brainless 11111 on a tag with fellow 100 zeglings is more fun.
Or just remove it pls.
Interview more EU commanders pls. Also more ppt, pvx, havoc, gank, scout, etc.
TY, Zach.
How is ppk counted if players from 2 servers contributed damage?
Both get a point?
1. For ppk make sure 1 kill by 10 is the same point as 1 kill by 50.
2. 10 min till a kill counts again from same player so folks don’t farm each other at a wp for points.
If its 3 g per alliance, with no small ones I will probably take a break to see how it all plays out.
1. 5 on 2 diff servers. purely pvd and pvo(player versus ore)/we stack and empower before we mine.
2. Haven’t seen them used.
3. full before hot. Now 0 maybe? Not sure if anyone bothered. Too much pve.
4. Never seen any shovels.
5. It was sort of used. After HOT, not so much.
6. Give favor per kill in wvw. thats it.
I agree with off hours pvd ktrain high lord Reverence. Those fast catas are a godsent, when he is running a queue ktrain vs walls. Pls keep it as is till we can get all the heroics. I will be honest I have no clue where he can find a blob even 2x his size though, but at least its a less annoying way to get elite specs unlock than hp trains in hot.
No. The issue is not that they don’t want to fix it. they just have no clue how to.
Its been in game for 3 years! 3 kitten years. I cant see ppl buying gems if their game crashes all the time. But yeah I am sure they just have no clue atm.
Its getting worse with every patch. It used to be on bosses or after 30min. Now its 3 min to crash on any map. Even empty maps in wvw.. Pathetic support and quality.
You have a 32 bit client. Make it work. I have no issues with any other game. This buggy crap is a waste of money.
The map is better than the old one. Its not getting play since its not as easy to zerg.
If they fix pop issues it will be fine.You do realize you just contradicted yourself… right? You can’t fix pop issues as well as keep the new map when the reason there is a pop issue is the new map.
Not to mention the fact that zerging is WvW and WvW is zerging. Sure, small groups exist (and are vital), but zergs are still the chief mode of gameplay. It wouldn’t feel like a world vs world battle if there weren’t massive clumps of players hitting each other with sharp things. Just look at the concept art for WvW – that’s several banners and a lot of warriors.
No.
The map is better than the old one. Its not getting play since its not as easy to zerg.
If they fix pop issues it will be fine.
1. Bring back keep wps for bay/hills.
2. Rescale the pve event at mid.
3. Player trigger on upgrades.
Agree It is a chore. Make more masteries with smaller xp cost.
OOM crashes in meta events and wvw still ongoing.
Just what the title states. Thx for the fix!
Which fix? :p
Not only on Nv for oom crash. I get it on ATI. It also crashes in story instances , so not just with people. The funny thing is that sometimes its fine in a full map on AB, but than crashes in an empty one after 5 m of play.
HoT seems more a DLC than true Expansion

Not a dlc. More like a beta test, with all the bugs still in game. “when its ready” lol
ATI Radeon here, same crashes.
Same oom crash. got worse with HoT. Please fix this anet.
Is There A Problem With Megaservers??

Its very strange . some times the map is populated well. Sometimes its empty. Its strange because all the core maps are fine.
No Elite Specialization LORE? [Spoiler]

Rushed x-pack is why there are holes in many areas still. You can see plenty of cut corners . I hope that they use LS to flash out spec lore, add more text to npcs in the new areas.
The story in both instances and open world story/events is amazing. Also the music and sound effects are out of this world. As much as I hate the never ending bugs/crashes in this game, the story/music/art keep me coming back.
1. Still getting the OOM crash.
2. Glider opening still feels clunky.
Great change. Reset time is irrelevant. Though Tue reset at say 7pm might be the best.
Off hours issue has to be fixed for wvw to improve. The easiest is to have a number of time zones with their separate score, saved upgrades etc. So DR in NA timezone will start from x:xx , last till y:yy when all the scores/upgrades are saved and moved to x:xx next day. same for the OCX,EU, etc.
Price too high for what I see of the game in the info released.
Consistent quality issues / bugs in GW2 force me to wait till the game is fixed after release.
Lack of consistency in game mode support of wvW and dungeons.
Grind.
