Thinking of giving up WvW commanding

in WvW

Posted by: FearedbytheGods.8617

FearedbytheGods.8617

Commanding.

I respect anyone who can pin up and command a map, it’s not an easy job.

I want to say a few things if I may, with the idea that perhaps some of my points resonate with you.

Firstly, I have no idea of your voice. Have you ever recorded your voice and listened to it? Some self-analysis and improvement is always a good thing but ultimately it’s your voice and you should embrace it. There’s also alternatives, some commanders have become incredibly effective using map chat only, if u feel its that big of an issue.

Tournament finish has definitely seen less people on maps. It was the same after season 1, everyone was burned out so this will mean less people out there.

Most commanders I know respect one another. I’m not sure what the situation is like on your server but the situation you described sounds like the other commander was inflating his own ego. A good commander wont try and rub it in your face, they don’t need to, everyone knows they’re good. An average commander is more likely to.

Ultimately the people following you want to ‘win’. Some commanders play for fights, others for ppt, so long as they ‘win’ in that objective they will get people following them. Look for ways to improve that ‘win’. This takes time and takes perseverance but that momentum is important because it’s how you improve and how others respond to you.

Also don’t be afraid to transfer from a server, up or down. Do some research and you might be happy with a change.

Anyways, hope some of that helped. Best of luck.

The Zephyrites had precious little exposition, so I never grew interested in them.

That’s my take on it and the area in general, however it did have nice ambiance.

Increasing Matchup Volatility

People hate blobbing/imbalance/boring/stale matchups but they still keep on stacking as much as possible, then blame ANET and/or their foes. lol

ANet can look at ways to moderate peoples innate tendencies or not. At the end of the day its just a game and if people are unhappy playing it, they will leave.

People will pay twice as much for easy wins and stale matchups.

Whether its stacking tier 1 or people moving to tier 2 for fights its all gem sales for ANet.

Either way they make money from changing absolutely nothing.

The rating points should just be reset.

The forums blew up with people stating they didn’t want that when it was originally announced. It would result in many weeks of PvD before it settled down to what it is more or less now anyways.

FearedbytheGods.8617

We’ve already been down the road of more match up volatility and it didn’t work. Matches were lopsided and were ultimately a blow out.

The only thing worse than getting bored fighting the same people again and again is being unable to fight at all because your dominating/being dominated.

Sovereign Underwater Weapons?

in Festival of the Four Winds

Posted by: FearedbytheGods.8617

FearedbytheGods.8617

Anet doesn’t seem to prioritize underwater stuff much. Nor do the players for that matter. So it gets neglected most of the time new stuff is added.

Underwater combat was removed from PvP completely.

I think it’s safe to say that ANet wont look to develop underwater combat further.

Duelers in WvW and attitudes

in WvW

Posted by: FearedbytheGods.8617

FearedbytheGods.8617

I always stand aside and watch. I only get involved if the ally is downed and the other party goes in for the stomp or if other enemies get involved. Best of both I guess. There simply isn’t time to ask or get an answer in most duels.

That’s pretty much my take on it, but even that backfires.

I came across a 1v1 once and my ally was getting beaten pretty bad by a warr but i let it go. Suddenly a hero thief came in and finished off my ally then he and the warr both turned on me.

If you want ‘fair’ fights go PvP, anything else is fair game.

I’ve done many a wall of text
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Precursor-Rage/first
showing my disgust with current legendary acquisition.

There is nothing legendary about legendaries.

EDIT: To answer some of your questions.

I have no interest in getting one.

I enjoy my time in WvW. I have a great guild with great players who I enjoy raiding with daily. This is why I play GW2.

Cannot get my Season 2 reward

You should be able to transfer back to a NA server and speak to the Battle Historian there to retrieve your rewards.

I read that and literally just went wide eyed and thought ‘Did you just say what i think you said?’

That comment for me just shows a huge disconnect between players and developers.

Extreme Lag in WvW.. Again?

in WvW

Posted by: FearedbytheGods.8617

FearedbytheGods.8617

There’s an update coming the 17th, my guess is were going to get spikes of bad lag on and off till then.

What makes you think an update is going to fix lag when none of the previous ones ever have?

You don’t understand.

The lag most of us are experiencing (guild/map chat) is not associated with what we typically experience for lag.

Therefore, as previously stated, ‘my guess’ is its associated with the update that will specifically address WvW issues (tournament rewards).

Henceforth it won’t save people from issues typically faced with lag (huge zerg fights), but it will stop random acts of lag.

However, once again reiterating to you, this is ‘my’ best guess. You don’t have to listen to my opinion, nor reply to it.

Do you have nothing better to do? S1 rewards were terrible, move on already.

They were terrible, but that’s not the point, it’s the principle. Your statement is ignorant to that fact and assuming you got your S1 reward, it makes your statement annoying to.

30-50 man balls to exploit the AoE hitting only 5 people mechanic

That’s still around

and the rendering issues

That was solved.

as well as the abuse of garrison seagate bypass and mesmers glitching through terain on purpose.

Some glitches were fixed, most are still there.

winning by exploiting broken game mechanics that aren’t functioning the right way.

EU had an invisible unknown player on (server name) who went around unchallenged the entire S2 tournament attacking people (literally you read ‘hit by unknown player’). Trollers and siege cappers have added to the mix.

it’s just not fun seeing zerging, flyhacks and exploits over and over again.

Orbs are gone so you don’t see the flyhackers (but they are still there). Tier 1 u still see huge zerg balls and tier 2 as well but to a lesser extent.

In addition everyone who knows WvW knows that coverage wins the ppt game that’s not changed.

EotM would be new to you, ANet class it as WvW but most WvW players dont see it that way. Its more a PvE Karma train with some PvP.

The ruins will be new to u, honestly it did mix up the meta to an extent. People actively cap it and defend it but it made WvW even more unbalanced (pushing ppl towards PvP).

Hope that helps.

Mobile Turrets

in Engineer

Posted by: FearedbytheGods.8617

FearedbytheGods.8617

I enjoy turrets in PvP but that’s because I’ve wanted turrets to be a thing since release and now they’re actually useful. I know some complain that AI does all the work.

Having said that I still think they are weak for most PvE encounters unless its a stationary boss/mob or its a dungeon/area you’re familiar with.

Some form of mobility would make Turrets much more viable in PvE, even if limited mobility.

Ok honestly, every company running MMO game becomes greedy, sooner or later.

Tbh I think GW2 is still better than most.

With Mike O’Brien in charge and people like Colin Johanson at ANet still running things I think ANet still has a long way to go before it falls of the tree. Having said that if there was a major hierarchical restructure I’d be following closely to see the direction they went.

ANet has changed a lot since its GW1 days.

What’s more, in SPvP there is no power creep: no guard leech, no applied fortitude, no food buffs, no sigil stacking, no ascended (usually used by PvE players to migitate their lack of skill).

Yes the PvP team has worked hard to try and get people out of WvW and into PvP.

I honestly don’t understand why the forums are so obsessed with esports.

I saw someone link you a post once where JP had stated that they sat around at lunch discussing how GW2 could become an e-sport. You then made some silly crack about how it was off topic and were going to ask the thread be closed….

If your going to stick your head in the sand you’ll never understand this ‘obsession’, as you like to call it.

The truth is the community talks about because they said it.

Theres something wrong with both ends in this community.

Fair enough, having said that from what I gather most official forums are pretty toxic so any games developer should be aware of what they are getting themselves into.

The CDI’s were a great way to engage the community and get some sort of healthy dialogue from both sides and avoid silence on one end and “WAAAAA I’m not happy” on the other. But even they were left up in the air, it’ll be interesting what happens with the next one.

You just lost thousands of Gold because your speculations were wrong.

Given u like to post in the blt threads so much I assume you also have read the threads that point out there’s not a real risk involved to make gold from TP Flipping.

Sure you can speculate and try and win big but there’s always the safe bet. TP Flipping is not the daring ‘make or break’ you’d like to make people think you undertake.

New players will likely ask seasoned players and they’d give them a value judgement on the content. So this motivates ANet to produce quality content.

I think that pretty much nails it.

People who play the content will get it for free and are then in a position to comment if its worth 200gems for those that come later.

In any event I’d like to applaud the majority of posters in this thread for their maturity and keeping a healthy perspective.

I’m genuinely surprised by the amount of people that haven’t seen it or even worse that started to watch, got 5 mins into it and decided “I don’t get it”. It single handily gave me the greatest insight into ANet politics and attitude towards WvW.

It even gave you secondary information into why, for example, we were given a skyhammer styled EotM. /facepalm

Anyways, most people on this forum already know the status quo of WvW, Sacrx just gives you the why.
