Question: Will these reward chests for ranks be given for people who already have Ranks? For example will a Rank 60 player receive 60 chests?
There will be a system for rewarding players who have already gained ranks. The way it will work is you will have a backlog of 60 chests, if you were at rank 61, and for each rank you achieve after that you will get 2 chests, instead of 1, until you’ve received all 60 of your backlog. These bonus chests should be available for every player who has gained rank prior to the build.
Are you going to do anything to remedy the discrepancies in how fast you gain ranks and badges between the tiers? From my experience how much you earn in WvW is directly proportional to what tier you play in. This didn’t bother me so much earlier due to the higher quality of game play, but now that infusions and ascended gear are added into the mix I can’t help but feel a bit left behind playing on a lower tier server where you are not in a position to fight 60-70 enemies on every map 24/7.

How is it abuse if it’s legal there?
Just because something is legal doesn’t make it not abuse. Things get abused and can be deemed morally reprehensible despite what the law says.

AC damage to siege will be nerfed, so not sure why people are complaining about that.
Other than that, I agree with OP to some extent. The suggestion is a step in the right direction but perhaps allowing people to damage a door once it is below 10% health would be a better solution.
Counter-intuitive? Shouldn’t be possible? Ever heard of an axe?
As far I have seen, the door are made out of wood and not metal. And I think you an cut wood.
Johnny didn’t had troubles with it: http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Books/Pix/pictures/2009/01/07/shining460.gif
Reinforced gates are metal plated as far as I can tell.
The correct answer is, “We hurl fireballs, teleport, and resurrect from the dead.”
I’m pretty sure we can stop arguing reality now…
While I kind of see your point, just because a world has magic in it doesn’t mean the realistic parts of it shouldn’t confine to realism. It’s not like Arena Net came up with the concept of fire, axes and wooden doors after all.

If this idea gets implemented you will lose all the top guilds. They will move to a game that has PvP, they wouldn’t care how crappy their graphics are, as long as it has decent PvP.
Looks like Anet decided that PvP doesn’t belong in WvW, character skill should be used on mobs not players. WvW should be siege only they say. This is plain boring and requires no skill. It will become like chess with good graphics. And I don’t like to play chess, I like something that requires fast thinking, reflexes and good hand-eye coordination.
Then go play a FPS….
I do play FPS, and I recently start playing them more again. Atleast real skill is required for those games and it has something called action too.
Hey you seem like a pretty good player, I am just going to shamelessly ask you right here for some help.
Recently I have been doing more and more WvW with my guild, and I really do enjoy it. However there are some things I am having issues with. The issues stem from when we are laying siege to keeps, towers etc. Usually we put down rams and such, but with the arrow cart buff we have more and more often found ourselves having to auto attack the doors down. To me this seems to require a lot of fast thinking, reflexes and good hand-eye coordination. For example I sometimes have to carefully mouse over the gate before I target it since I might be standing at a weird angle, and this can take valuable time from our karma train. Do you know where I can practice these skills? Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Sin,
I totally agree and many players agree as well.
The only one who don’t agree are the Golden Child class; ThiekittenAs the saying goes, “Liars will always say they’re telling the truth”, that’s the thief.
The only ones who can nerf The Golden Child Class is by having new dev team who don’t practice Favoritism.
Until than.
we’re all Kitten cause the ones we have now are All In Favor this class.
In addition to this so called “Anti-Stealth Trap”
Is a totally joke, why? well ask yourself this, “do you really think a thief will actually run away once the trap is activated and leave you alone”?Of course not!
All it takes for them is to wait outside of the “anti-stealth area” and once 30 seconds elapses; they will activate their stealth kill mode to Eliminate us.
So as Always,
As Always,
The Joke Is On Us
And will continue to be until we have a new team put in place who doesn’t practice or believes in Favoritism.
Let me guess.
You never played thief.
Devonas Rest 4 lyfe
I don’t think Stealth in itself is broken.
Shadow Arts is a broken trait line though, and could use some nerfs. That being said, I feel that every bunker build needs to be nerfed because of condition damage. It’s so easy to just slap condition damage on a bunker build and be virtually unkillable while whittling down your opponents. The confusion nerf was a good start, but bunker rangers and P/D thieves need to get the same treatment. D/D eles also need a nerf to their damage.

I suppose my attempt at humor was not appreciated. Oh well.
Consider this. A woman of surname Choo, wants to marry a man of surname Choo. She wants to honor her family and retain her maiden name. So her name changes to Mrs. Choo-Choo. The big question here is this- is she the first Choo, or the second Choo?
I hope the answer isn’t incest. Which name goes first and which name goes second probably is for the couple to decide rather than us to guess at so I don’t even see how this is a riddle.
She’s the first Choo obviously.

So where’s the traps that prevent 30 seconds of illusion spawn on mesmers, 30 seconds of zero adrenaline on warriors, 30 seconds of ranger pets disabled, 30 seconds of ele stuck in a single attunement!
1200 range 20 targets 30 sec reveal is a bit overkill in my book >_>
A random ally could trigger it and you still get struck by it ^^ all you can do now is run an evade build or port back and wait 30 sec, sounds fun ^^
The 4 second channel kind of annoys me. Can it be interrupted? Throwing these things down all over a small scale battle will completely kitten with small man teams.
Playing against a thief? Just throw a trap down on anyone who goes down. Shadow Refuge and Mass Invisibility is suddenly useless, and you have removed another advantage organized teams have.

Well, casuals are needed to keep WvW running, that’s why you see useless WXP ranks and now traps (lol) instead of fixes aimed at the lag. Unfortunately for you, you picked or bandwagoned to a server with 10x more casuals than most other servers.

When China gets their servers, maybe some of the Oceanics will transfer there? Then we’ll have EU, NA, and Asia. Balance achieved!
Perhaps some Asians, but it will still leave english speaking Oceanic players on NA servers.
Which in turn will only lead to making those few players even more valuable and sought after by servers, destroying any hope of balance between time zones on different servers.

One need only to compare how much PPT each time zone is netting to see that Arena Net’s solution does not value every player equally. I guess I should also say that I don’t play from NA, I don’t care for the scoreboard very much, and I have accounts on both European and NA servers.
Lets declare three major time zones:
Europe – Primarily European servers
America – Primarily NA servers
Oceanic & East Asia – Primarily NA servers
Let’s say each prime time last for 6 hours (18:00 – 24:00 local time), and that we have 3 competing servers.
Server A: Primarily NA coverage.
Server B: Primarily Oceanic / East Asian coverage.
Server C: Primarily European coverage.
18:00 – 24:00 server time.
Server A gains 695ppt during NA prime time.
02:00 – 08:00 server time.
Server B gains 695ppt during Oceanic prime time.
09:00 – 15:00 server time.
Server C gains 695ppt during European prime time.
After 24 hours;
Server A: 22,240
Server B: 19,460
Server C: 25,040
The above would result in pretty even scores. However;
- European coverage is typically extremely low on NA servers, because they prefer to play on European servers.
- Every NA server has some sort of NA coverage. You will probably not see a server’s potential go sky high during NA prime because of this. I can’t recall a single 695ppt during NA prime on any server.
So let’s factor these things in. Server C is turned into a falling T1 server or something.
18:00 – 24:00 server time.
Server A gains 395ppt during NA prime time.
Server B gains 150ppt during NA prime time.
Server C gains 150 ppt during NA prime time.
02:00 – 08:00 server time.
Server A gains 100ppt during Oceanic prime time.
Server B gains 495ppt during Oceanic prime time.
Server C gains 100ppt during Oceanic prime time.
Now here is where the interesting part lies. Since European prime time is low on NA servers, ppt stay mostly static until NA players can get home from work. So let’s say;
09:00 – 15:00 server time.
Server A gains 150ppt during European prime time.
Server B gains 395ppt during European prime time.
Server C gains 150ppt during European prime time.
After 24 hours;
Server A: 21,640
Server B: 31,260
Server C: 13,000
Clearly Oceanic / East Asian players are worth the most with Arena Net’s system. Note that the effects would be even worse on European servers, but because Oceanics / East Asian players lag horribly there, and because NA players have their own servers, this issue is much less prominent.
I guess I should also note that my experience is based mostly on play in T5-7, and as I said, I don’t really care either way. I just think that if Arena Net wants every player to feel valued then they can’t stick with the current system.

imo, siege wars is boring.
I don’t get it. Why are you playing WvW when you fully know that the objective is to capture (i.e, “siege”) objectives and hold them while the enemy tries to capture (i.e., “siege”) them back?? You get points only for the objectives you hold, right? While killing players is eminently fun in the process of capturing objectives, you don’t get points for kills … only objectives. Beats me how you wouldn’t have figured that out yet, and that if you don’t like the siege component that you should probably be playing sPvP or tPvP instead.
WvW is supposed to be primarily a map strategy game, and that means deciding how best to siege and hold objectives. I like killing other players too, but there’s no map strategy to that at all.
Because believe it or not some people enjoy most of the combat system in this game, and also enjoy PvP’ing with it.
Unfortunately every type of PvP in GW2 seems to be oriented towards sitting in a circle.
Devonas Rest 4 lyfe
They don’t really affect you in the same way that orbs did though. Orbs were game wide, whereas traps are map wide. Being outmanned on a map is not the same thing as being outmanned in WvW as a whole.
That being said I seriously hope that traps don’t have some sort of crap 5man cap, that would indeed favor the zergs in a way I don’t like.

Reading comprehension fail. And, I’m guessing a mod actually moved some of these posts from the old thread to this one to merge the threads. I had no intention of bringing this crap to this week’s thread.
It’s in reply to Chester saying that SPCA/XOXO/tM are a PUG. Yeah, a PUG that runs together consistently for weeks on end. Strange PUG, that is.
Guilds designed to small man or solo roam aren’t pugs.
The definition of a pug is a bad player usually used towards a PvE’er who has managed to wander into WvW and has no idea what he/shes doing.You wrote a long message for a simple definition.
NSP also has a community voip.
They can all talk on it if they wish.
That’s not quite correct. A pug is a pick up group. I.e. a group of less organized players.
So if some members from guild Y picked up some dudes from guild X and their best friend from guild Z, that would indeed be a PUG. However, if these dudes then frequently starts running together, they would no longer be a PUG.

The thing is anet doesnt want people to change servers all the time. So it has to be expensive. 25g is too cheap. I can most likely farm that in less than 5 hours by playing dungeons.
They should want players to transfer servers all the time, if they are interested in the state of WvW.
Server populations should be balanced rather than lopsided, and this can only be done through having transfer costs be based on what tier a server is in.

I hope you understand how lame it is to discredit wins by saying stuff like that.
“Nah person X and person Y were in that fight, they are not really part of our guild. You can’t claim you won that fight”
“Nah, we might run with the same numbers, but we don’t have an alliance and the same level of organization between our guilds so you can’t claim you won that fight”
“Nah you had one more player, so you can’t claim you won that fight.”
I have personally seen cases of us winning over you guys with equal numbers, but it’s always “<insert one of the above>, you guys are trash.” In the end it becomes frustrating to no end.
AD has people who does 90% PvE, but hops in WvW casually. We have a guy with 8 legendaries who is an awesome dude, but who only started doing WvW recently and as such isn’t very experienced. On the first reset night, we got spawn camped by 2x our numbers, only to hear someone from SPCA say you “farmed us all night”. We don’t kitten and complain about this, but somehow SPCA always wants to do that exact thing when faced with equal situations.

Meh, it was a good move. We had gotten complacent playing uplevels, running completely random group compositions and being semi-afk all while smashing Zoomhaven zergs 2-3x our size.
Yeah, I agree. It is difficult to convince everyone that you are truly “winning” even though you are losing by every metric available. I think Charlie Sheen had something to say about this. edit: Here we go;
T7 definitely does have some good fighters.
I am just glad Im not there, Id never make the cut! I just want you to be happy, even if it means Im not in the picture.
On a serious note though, T7 seems like one of the best matches WvW has seen up to this point. I hope it goes on for as long as possible.
Honestly, I was on the losing end in the last match up, and I doubt I ever claimed otherwise. Maybe you remember one of my first posts where I was talking about fun being primary and scoreboard secondary to me. Bad fights and getting constantly zerged, with signet warriors like hyjaxx to represent the small-man community of DH doesn’t exactly tickle me in all the right spots, and as such I was not having a lot of fun.
No, as I said I am happy I moved down, and besides, by the same metrics wouldn’t DH be rank 16? See, unlike most people from DH I realize this game is Coverage Wars, not Guild Wars (unfortunately).
I know hyjaxx believes DH will soar to the top of the tiers as soon as you break away from this tier. I will respectfully beg to differ.

Haha, it’s funny how you should trash talk me in a thread I barely even look at. My assessment of GRIM is based on solid proof, something perhaps you should adhere to when making claims of curb stomping us. Rest assured, GRIM never had nor could curb stomp AD.
Besides, since you will inevitably move up to T5 soon, why don’t we settle the score there? Me and a few others from AD have an alt account on Ehmry Bay. I am sure they would all love to get another chance at smashing your petty little guild.
