Guild Wars 2

HoT Released and these points maybe happened:

new WvW maps get released with HoT which only a few like in terms of WvW the look is great. Now the most WvW Players ar in EBG and EOTM

with HoT new masteries came and now everybody is farming EXP or Mastery points and you only can do it in PvE, so none is in WvW who want the masteries.

Raid comes with HoT so some WvW players want to do Raids too and now spend more time in PvE and less in WvW to get gear and stuff.

With HoT the new Stronghold Mode comes in and some WvW players want to test it too and so there are less playeres in WvW.

Auto Upgrade and new Guild System make some WvW players angry cause the lose there Guild Progression they made over the years and for a small Guild it is getting harder.

There maybe other point but these are common.

Lord Kuru.3685:

Wow. Everyone seems to think they’re overhauling the HoT features in response to their massive failure, but if you read the quote:

“major WvW overhaul right now we’ve been working on for over a year”

it’s clear the “overhaul” he’s referring to is exactly what brought us the all the failed features.

This, the new Maps are part of the overhaul there will not come some new shinies.

Some how funny is the point the same question is in the engi forum and there no dev answered, but on reddit they do

Copy paste the reward system from PvP (Pathes) on WvW Maps only, not ETOM and you got them all back

Maybe you should look at reddit they are more often post there then here

Wolfric.9380:

Gearing the character for WvW is one of the major goals in this game which drives players!

Greetigns

Wolf

Not for me major goal in this game is just have good fights were skill matters not gear or class setups.

Much work done here it will be difficult for the Servers from Countries like Germany/France and Spain. Some are on these Servers to speak german, french or spanish so with this idea they are forced to speak english, not everyone wants that and can do it.

Enormous secret quaggans kitten room??? Huh? Where?

Here

@Topic

I dont quit WvW i just paused it.

Range classes would be so op they will snipe every gilding player

2 Servers still full in EU

They sold us the expantion and now work is done till the next expansion.

The only thing they want to push is their eSport and this is very bad, with the balance at the moment. There is a reason why GW2 is not a big eSport Title and never will be.

They should instead focus on all game modes, to be even in rewards and fun, but at the moment WvW lags rewarding things and fun, because less enemies less fun

For Zerg Fight Elixir X (both transmutes) can be usefull stabilty and many HP.

So there need to be RNG because these are to elites of other Classes.

did you seriously find nothing else to complain about? flamethrower is viable as it is.

Its really only viable as a : swap to, hit some cds, swap out. As a stand-alone weapon, its auto attack is pretty bad.

after they buffed it like 432849 times now, no, it’s fine and good dps, yet just worse than bomb aa for dps, and worse than nade aa for vuln.

They buffed it after they take the 15% Damage Trait and it is still less then 15% more damage on Flamethrower and Elixirgun.

After the second run i got it too.

Same for me, in Star Wars Battlefront everything is ok in GW2 ping up to 1000.

How do you guys get the inquest servo i farmed 1 hours golem mark 2 and the golem meta event and the champion golem mark 2 in the golem keep and get nothing :/

insanemaniac.2456:

i suggest rabid/trailblazer over rabid/dire

dire is so 2014

Oh good point, didnt know the new trailblazer stats, kitten these descisions made me mad.

I am not so in PvE Fractals or Raid but i think a condition engi with Viper/Sinister gear is one of the best DDs.

It seems they ignore it at the moment, same in the WvW, they sold the expansion and made money, next dev comments in engineer forums will be, when the new expension comes and they need to sell it.

The idea of this thread is a great inspiration for the devs and i hope this idea gets on the devs table somehow.

Bwadark.2519:

.. Perhaps a dev will jump in and clarify….

This was a good one

A better protest is not to buy anything from them till WvW is fixed.

The next step in the great plan to convert WvW Players to sPvP

You can use Condi spec in WvW for roaming but i would prefer a rabid/dire mix.

In Zerg Fights power is more common, because most Zergs have massive coni remove.

OG?

Maybe you should aks the player who do not play it

There Plan? Is that not obvious?

They slowly kill WvW and hope some player switch to sPvP, so they can do there great ESL eSport thing.

Xillllix.3485:

I don’t think people hate the new map at all. I think people hate running around to find a fights and that can be resolved by a better waypoint system and server merges.

I think people were expecting a better reward/PPT system and are salty about the new map having been implemented without other core gameplay improvements.

Rewarding is the Key for many, if the Borders are full you will find fights.

But what will WvW give you at the moment?

New Raid gives you ascended Items
PvE gives you ascended weapons for collections

In WvW? Nothing but one new mastery: Shieldgenerator

You cannot achieve a ascended item through WvW (with much luck maybe) nor have you something to work for in WvW if your masteries are still maxed.
The Exp you get in WvW dont count to Tyria Exp for Masteries and the shiny Exp which will be shown to you is useless.

Seems we must get use to it, that GW2 is more towards PvP and PvE (casual/raiding).

Maybe there will be an entrance for the new Raid like Darkness Fall in DAOC or something what adds even more PvE to the borders. Anet Style you want WvW here you have more PvE in your border

It is a good thing to slowly drifting back to life, so be thankful for Anet helping you.

Maybe Star Wars Battlefront will get my attention.

The disadvatage is you need to be in flamethrower to get all the stab and might stack, if you switch kit/weapon stab is gone and might does not stack further. If you stay only in flamethrower you will not be very effective.

Balance patch is planned for December. I expect skill changes and lot of bugfixes then. Fingers crossed.

I’m really just expecting hammer nerfs. They balance the game around PvP, and that’s the only game mode where scrapper’s strong.

Well thats the only game mode where it matters, not? you can play pve naked, and [KING] had what 4? engineers in their raid. Phineas downed the first boss with a (strange) scrapper build.

It matters in WvW too

Balancing only towards one game mode will destroy many classes in other game modes PvE /WvW :/.

They need to make skillsets for PvP like in GW1 some skill behave in a diffrent way in PvP.

i feared it already after the bwe we got and the statement of irenio after the bwe. For them it seems the class is fine and only needs some visual adjustment and nerfs.

Maybe we all need to use the ingame bug report and write every single bug from our buglist in it. Cause saying it in anet forums is a waste of time.

Is it really the better group that will win a fight or the group with the better class setup?
Why is there a reason every melee group wants at least 1-2 guardians?
Will a group win if they have a lack of guardians in there melee train?

This was my thinking to bring more possibilities in frontline groups (ranger,engi, thiefs, necro)

I think after HoT there is a lot of CC in the game and after the changes to stability it is sometimes a hard way for classes with nearly no stability.

So my idea is to give everyone who successfully uses a stunbreak a 3-5 sec 3 stack stability. (3 sec to classes who have stability already with stunbreaks)

So no chain stunning on classes without stability or very few stability sources.
More choices for melee group members besides Warrior and Guardians.

I see not many disadvantages, maybe melee train gets too strong, but there are still many soft CC like slow/freeze/cripple/immobilize.

What do you think about this?

Why are not the old bugs (which still not fixed) in your list it makes no sense to make 2 lists and 2 threads.

Its strange in the WvW mode Anet supports everything the community dont want nice move Anet.

People dont like PvE on WvW, well give them more reward for doing this event this is somehow funny

why exactly is autoloot not just a basic game mechanics?

Do not roam alone, because i never see solo roamers since HoT, if you solo roam you will face mostly small groups, if you see anything (borders are empty in these days)

I use my Scrapper and my Condition Revenant for roaming, i roam mostly in a 2-3 player Group.

And get some stealth reveal, roaming is still the playground for stealthing groups.

“Engineer
Toss Elixir X: Fixed a bug with this skill that prevented it from transforming rangers who were in Celestial Avatar form.
Impact Savant: This trait should now be reflected in the skill facts of appropriate skills.
Fire Bomb: Reduced the visual noise on the effects associated with this skill.
Orbital Strike: Adjusted the warm-up on this skill to be slightly more prominent.”

Still not adresses many bugs and no overview of the scrapper core mechanic :/

I stopped reading after OP claimed 10-15 was a small havoc squad.

be honest now… u stopped reading when i said i think its great…

Still his point is valid a 10-15 player group is not a small havoc group 3-5 are a small havoc group, 15 i will call a little zerg.

…. but pistol/shield builds are dead.

I’d love to find a viable excuse to use my Shield — especially with my four gyro build. But I just can’t justify it.

With the Shield’s Blast Finisher and Daze/Projectile Finisher, it would work well with all the Lightening Fields and Water Field (Reconstruction Field – Tool Belt skill for Medic Gyro). If the CD’s for Shield were reduced to 12 sec and 16 sec, I might do so.

But Man, that blowtorch burn is hard to give up….

If you are running a Confusion Build with perplexity rune shield can be an option cause you have 2 interupts on it.

Warriors and Thief are moaning about no love, please play engineer one year and say it again

play thief for 1 year and see how u go from okay to semi okay to bad to very bad to terrible too kitten class that isnt capable of doing anything.
meanwhile classes that are not even set down as massive dps toons do more dps then a thief could possibly pump out meanwhile these same classes have tons and tons of ways to deffend/survive.

life of a thief, jump in kill if failed ur dead gz.

having 900 range MAX and being as strong as WET toilet paper is beyond amazing, then again im still playing my thief and i still enjoy it. but when i play my lame kitten guardian i just 111111111111111111111111 and walk through complete zerg got 1000 loot bags and repeat. bet i can do same on engineer just use trait lines for perma stab and have fun with flame thrower run in blast like a clueless idiot and run out and watch the loot come in (i guess i dunno ! :p) think a engi has and always had alot more ways to survive then a thief.

tho dont wanna turn this into thief topic only, yes Anet managed to ruin WvW for me also.

I dont was telling that because a engi do better in WvW or not, we have a really big Buglist and it seems the dont work on it, our Elite gets only on BWE and after Release no improvements only nerfs.

So to come to WvW they need to do something and that really quick. They have luck that out there is no RvR game maybe ESO but not for me. Until Camelot Unchained comes there will be no good alternative.

I would like to see the Scrapper build you are talking about

Maybe you can tell us what class you are playing?

I think most downvotes came from people who hate SFR. Build should be mentioned.

azizul.8469:

they don’t care. they want you to play the new PvE maps and buy the glider skins…..

They even more want you to play PvP so they have more attention for there ESL, thats the reason for F2P of the basic game too and it is the reason that many elite spec are more focused on PvP.

My hope for RvR now lies in Camelot Unchained.

So WvW gets better and better :P

Next time if you run pass them say they should go elswhere it is a solo or duo raid and they are only rally bots.

Completed a map today too and no reward.

In 14 Days not one word from A-Net, this shows how they care about there customers.

Autoloot should be a base mechanics so they can make the mastery 5% more Luck or something and everything is fine
