A dev i spoke to said they were fixing old bugs of the wvw maps and that we should wait for the mid-late of next year.
I hope that means we will get back orbs
Mid-late of next year? LOL. There’s no point by that time, most will quit this game mode already, or even leaving the game for good.
he said after spring. But in my view it will after. like june
rev will be left broken until anet milks the crap out of hot.
gw2 grind is far less than many other games
Just come to T1 where action is 24/7
I do believe A-Net is trying to frustrate WvW players so much that we all give up and go watch GW2 PvP e-sports.
Theyr e-sports is dying bad.
Anet made a bad decision to choose pvp over wvw for e-sports
just make a guard. You want to be extremly tanky for front line
I have to agree. EB in T1 is intense crazy. Guaranteed fights
how is this related to wvw>?

CAN I HAVE YOUR STUFF PLSSSS
Yes easiest change would be to give us back the old BLs
north camp
:(( i cried seeing this
Please anet, giuv e us back the old bls
Having even 1 wvw forum is pointless when Anet devs avoid the official forums for reddit.
Our wvw forum “specialist” is as useful as earmuffs during a summer day
Stop those useless straw polls already. You won’t get a representative result in these forums.
And as Gaile said before… They will ask you if they see the need to do so. Otherwise they’ll give as much of a kitten about your polls as the other posts in this forum.
You just think you have some pseudo truth because a few angry people tell you you’re right because they apparently gave up wvw but can still post kitten every day in every thread.
well they are losing a ton of Jem buyers daily.
Infact GW2 has made alot less income for ncsoft and things are not looking good for the dev. Best to dump these stocks asap
I support kovu

these confirm that wvw alliance is happening

fozzik for new wvw team lead!
Anet, Hire this man pls
bumped /15 words
That pretty much sums up why WvW didnt get any attention, either Anet decided to entirely abandon this game mode, or this guy got fired for coming with the terrible new BL maps.
He didnt got fired, he left. He stated that he got an offer he couldnt refuse.
That said, who did or gonna take over if at all?
who knows. TBH i do not think anyone would want to take over a dying game

Honestly, I couldn’t tell you. I think the hope is to solve some of the larger, underlying problems as soon as possible. But I haven’t been directly involved in WvW decisions for some time, so that’s really just an understanding from the outside.
[–]DevonCarver 5 points an hour ago
No, that’s not even remotely related. The good is balanced with the bad, but regardless, that’s not really a large enough part of the job that it would have caused me to leave.
[–]DevonCarver 5 points an hour ago
I don’t think it should be labelled as ArenaNet’s fault here. You need to think about this as a business as well. It is usually the case that people have opinions about the place that they work and those aren’t always 100% in line with reality. If you are disgruntled, you are going to remember the bad things and not the good ones.
So studios aren’t particularly interested in bringing in people that are going to bring that kind of negative energy with them. It’s a relatively small industry and people know each other. If you’ve been airing grievances, it’s not going to reflect well on you.
ArenaNet is a wonderful place in a lot of ways, there are problems, sure, but there are problems anywhere. I certainly wouldn’t have had the opportunities I’ve had at many other places and I wouldn’t have been able to work with so many wonderful people. I hope that I’ve learned from my many mistakes and that I’m a better designer for it.

They were elevator doors, so it wasn’t really an option.

I left ArenaNet because I had an opportunity I couldn’t turn down. The part of me that enjoys candor and openness in games would love to do an AMA, but not only would that likely be disrespectful to ArenaNet, a place that I owe a great deal, and the people that continue to work there, but it would also not be particularly illustrative, I suspect.
The reality is that I’ve been wrong enough times about things to know that I can’t really expect my decisions to be infallible and while I’ve certainly disagreed with some decisions made for GW2, I suspect that the number of times I was wrong to disagree outweigh the number of times I was right.
[–]DevonCarver 9 points 2 hours ago
I assumed it that way as well.
[–]DevonCarver 47 points 2 hours ago
Yeah, you can totally toss me under the bus for anything you didn’t like. I probably had nothing to do with it, but I’ll happily deflect any anger for those that did.
[–]DevonCarver 166 points 2 hours ago
It’s generally the case that there will be no comments about internal stuff like this. For a variety of reasons, but, that’s just the reality of things. WvW will continue to be an important part of the game.
[–]DevonCarver 51 points 2 hours ago
Thanks. It’s been good to be a part of this community, for the most part. I hope you all continue to enjoy the game.
[–]DevonCarver 37 points 2 hours ago
If I told you, I’d have to kill you. I was working on the expansion, specifically building content.
[–]DevonCarver 118 points 3 hours ago
I haven’t been working on WvW since March of this year.
We need less shouting and more calm, nuanced analysis. Less protesting and more willingness to try adjusting and report what things are difficult to swallow.
Getting ignored for 3 years is going to wear at anyone’s patience. It’s not that surprising that people aren’t being calm.
Edit: And as others have suggested, a much better protest would be to just not log into WvW anymore. If enough people stop playing the game mode, that is much more likely to get their attention.
Anet was never like this in the past. It feels that they have grown too large to care about their core wvw base. I hope I am wrong and they indeed quiet because they are making emergency fixes to our BL, bringing back orbs and intend to revert changes before christmas
In any event, collin must be mad with negative reactions from 80% of the community.
it will one day be a portal to the old BL. Hey i can hope cant I?
It wont happen.
Can i have your stuff ? Plsss
we have a server called gunners hold?
I guess the only good thing for wvw were the changes made to some of the classes and that they kept EB.
Thank kitten for eb!
Why does bronze get to have all the fun? Give it back to everyone.
Exactly. Give us back alpine
Anyone else feel like the HoT and the huge loss of WvW player base is something like DaOC when they released ToA and that lost a lot of RvR players
Its feels like a coincidence between HoT and ToA. Also given that Anet hired employers from DaOC
DaOC never recovered after losing so many players.
its not too bad. we have fallout 4 to play
WB classic DnD ele
sounds like HoT is the ToA of DAOC. toa killed alot of daoc pop and took several years to fix
how about they just give us back our old BLs. Infact i would pay 1,000,000 gems to see that
lol, +1 for this troll post
I do know alot of peeps are in pve but the matter is that the new BL is way too big for a single tier. Also some ppl have left the game
heatsync is bugged atm.
if enough people complain, will they bring back the old BLs to replace the new bls?
t1 is so bad that we have to camp BG spawn for bags
dnd condi builds still works.
the good thing is that they pushed the roamers to EB. Which isnt bad.
new map is a fail
The BLs are just empty. Its become one large k-train situation
I prefer the old bls.
Plus point is, atleast we still have EB
Please keep resets to NA friday
As a SEA Player I do not like the Idea of changing reset times to saturday as well.
what is monte carlo and how will it help matchups
Arcane skills got nerfed really hard 2 to 3 years ago. Not sure if they will un -nerf them
If you need pre then i see no problem with pack runes.
And if you need might i would suggest mgiht or holebraks.
If you looking at min/max stats then exuberance runes
Speed + stats+condi then travellers runes
For condi you can try balth/legion/perplexity runes
Very interesting chart. Would be nice if you could have an end of the week update and plot a trend chart to see changes.
Is your tuffness atleast 2.6k / healing at 500 / 22k hitpoints and u use Signet of restoration? If yes, it may be a play issue
