Guild Wars 2

SD engi old school will never die in pvp/wvw roaming.

(died to one yesterday 2 times in wvw with a big plesure=)))

I’m pretty casual pvpeer and for me it’s interesting to play on that map, cuase i don’t go “bunker point”, “kittenap” or such builds.

Would be cool i think though to seperate Death Match and point holding game into 2 types, but atm we don’t have enough maps to make death match alive.

Tranafers to SFR – EU worked out like this.

why SFR got not that many bangwagoneers? Got ideas? ok.
1 guy bangwagons to SFR cause SFr is number 1 server in PPT.
This 1 guy, let’s call him Bob, got 5 friends on all other “hardcore” servers like RoF, Underwolrd etc etc etc. So 5 Bob’s friends transfering to SFR cause they got friend there(Bob), they don’t care about ppt AND….AND…those Bob’s friends got 5 friends each aswell that trasnfering to SFR that got “friEND” there (the guy that u saying “nice to see you” but you actually never seen him in reallife adn maybe he is not that nice oOooO).
That’s how story goes. So low Bangwagoneers on SFR, we just all friends of Bob or FRiends of friends of friends of Bob, u know what i mean.
And if you got some “friend” transfered to SFr and when u ask him “-Why?” he says:“-Becuase all my Bobs are playing here.” Ofcourse now all the Bobs transfered to SFR. We can kittening cover 4 WvW maps and all overflows in EOTM with our Bob’s friends army.

i needed recipies from DT, spent 2h+ yesterday in DT, got 30 geodes….270 more to go…

Can i qq here?

i got this on bookmarks, thanks for reminder though of this masterpiece. Inspire me to do esports more.
More hard.

and go imba heal guard
i go mid
and heal and heal and heal.

does burger kings know that there are EU players on this forum and even in game aswell? Or their world maps got only murica?

“GW2: Tier 1 Server” overall there would be 9 t1 servers and 6 of them are able to read and write here.

Man for real wake up and read again.

Your secondly thridly you should stick in your chocohole. Mobs are easy there, let it be like that. Everyone is fine about it. IT"S YOU WHO wanted players to adapt to kill mobs or how u said “find ways”.

sPVP is not about fighting players. AT ALL. U CAP POINTS THERE AS MAIN. In wvw u can forget about ppt and mobs and never care of it and still noone will have problems with you.

I don’t care about reading your suggestion, devs should not either. I read diagonaly all your wall of text. You got big ambitions but “honestly mate, you know nothing of this gaem”.

You want them to waste their time on this? For real? They got enough distracted by threads like this one. But you seems to have some brains instead of other topic starters, just think more globaly, please. I’m done here.

This thread insults me alot.

The OP want to change me on some AI.

Or i will start MU thread here.

If i go to some pvp mode i don’t want to have another build “just to kill that guard”.

If i would like to do pve mostly i would go to PVE, dungeuon, ls event or whatever else is out.

I mean, WvW is not just groups of players getting together and fighting each other is it?

IT IS!

marriage in gw2?

no.

op likes to pump somebody’s cucumbers? I don’t udnerstand…

RiverSong.5067:

I was running Edge Of The Mist for fragments to complete my armors (which i did, yay), and i came across something new to me. We got farmed. It became obvious anywhere the train went, there would be a zerg there waiting for us. People explained it thinking there was a spy doing this to annoy people.

While this is bad karma and you’ll go to hell for it, not much can be done about it. I’m just wondering, does he get anything out of this? Besides annoyed peoples? And is it common?

guys like you in EOTM was born as brainofffarming lemings for wvwers that going there from tiem to time.

No need a spy with you, jsut need to read the map =))

Narrrz.7532:

5s more would make it op against any non-dedicated condi class.
it would hard counter dedicated condi builds and make them even worse than already.
That doesn’t need to happen.

try warrior with that elite trait but with only 1 sigil on every weapon set. Normal condi spamw builds refresh their condis on enemy every 5-10s. It’s not like you making 20stacks of bleed for 30 seconds and u win.

Ele would be a bit OP problem that’s true, warrior not, guardian yes, engi not, thief yes, mesm nope, necro nope, ranger nope. And i’m talking only about max condi cleanse builds if u add that sigils to them, it won’t be op if u will run warri with that sigil, dodged march and -condi dur food only.

The sigil alone won’t hardcounter the condi builds at all, it’s a laugh.

maybe make it 7s will be better without abusing possibility, but even 5s won’t it that OP.

Flury

alot of them are channeling btw, but i agree that stationray skills need this tooltip, it’s kinda QOL that anet loves to work on.

it’s right for engi. Using it on my hybrid cele build.

I still got kitten d by condi mesmer though..qq

MY hardest counter of all time is any mesmer (except when i was running condis myself)

I would like 5s cd more and it still would not be OP, but it will not happen..

that graphics level =)))

Hamster.4861:

Positioning keeps you alive more than tankiness in WvW.

+100

especially for ranged classes

if u need somebody to take the punch better it would be melee =))

Sube Dai.8496:

So wait…you’re a dude!?

I’m confused aswell.

I don’t tolerate dudes that playing female characters more then i don’t tolerate girls that are playing.

To OP. Poor girl…

Shadow Refuge is totally fine!

Me and my flamethrower engi laughing on it.

Me and my p/shield engi laughing on it.

Me and my hammer guard laughing on it.

It’s a well balanced skill in my opinion and no need to change it.
Thief combat mechanics are annoying sometimes askittenbut it’s how class is made – “Can’t kill? Stealth away.”

u running with perplexity engi, only thing you need is a roap and a piece of soap to hang him on a tree.

On serious note if u change your engis runes then go shout guard or shout war and it will be good.

Ara.4569:

In card games there’s weak cards that you learn not to play anymore as you progress. It’s part of the learning process.

After a while in GW2, necromancers realize they are weaker than other professions on every aspect, and reroll to a real profession.

wich gamemode are u talking about?

In wvw/gvg GWEN still meta.

Pve – maybe, who cares? Any class good for non olympic record speed run.

Pvp – low mobilty makes them unable to cath-up with other classes in points rotation, but that’s just all about how teams playing it, they copying spvp from others with rotations eles and thiefs or they trying to invent.

they are good for warriors and engineers so far in pvp

pve is full dps specs so it’s not for that case

for real man, you played too much of EBG, thinking it’s the best map EVA. YOur point of view is too casual to succed in eyes of most wvw veterans.

Rozbuska.5263:

Meta builds are plague of games. One of reason why I enjoy engi so much from start was there wasnt meta builds for him, there was ton a different builds with different playstyle and all works great. And then meta plague carriers from other classes discover that engi is also great class capable of everythng and ruin all that amazing theorycrafting what happend here before. Now are ppl scare to post their builds because here are builds what someone called meta and present them as only usefull.

very true kitten.

I think it goes about any class like this for pve/pvp. Especially in pvp i would say that diversity is high enough if go out of “meta-box”.

daily? hm…log into wvw, the only thing i do daily for 100% (oh wait some days i don’t even play)

So it’s each time i log in game.

You taking in account only those people who loging in everyday for 100%?

Oh, and every time i logged in and every time i’m loged in wvw and everytime i remember to fuse charged crystals i do it aswell!!

I don’t see a point for myself to do something on daily basis…it will make me hate the game and if i wanted such shedule i would go Botage or it was called Farmage…can’t remember, that ded gaem that i died in 2 months aftre realease =))

xGraver.4918:

Plzzzz there would be xxxxx amouth of ppl willing to pay like 20€ for big Wvw update.

big YES.

During a morning meeting, I learned that some players in Europe have recently been experiencing latency issues. I see posts in a few of the forums, so I’m creating this thread to try to gather and focus your input to help us analyze this issue.

Ussually i have no lags (after some fixes after new year it was almost perfect all time, thanks forthat) in any game mode unless it’s wvw 3 way fight with 60vs60vs60, even then it wasn’t that bad.

Please Anet, respond to an issue, because alot of people on my server was complaning of excact same type of lag in same time.

After this time it’s totally fine for me, but during EU prime time, the delays are unplayable.

Guys u playing first week or what?

The wvw and ppt it’s not prime-time, kitten .

U don’t make MAX points at prime time, never.

Most of the points made offtime with good organized map-jumping. During prime-time is just active capture/defend/stomp time for some 3-4 hours. That’s all about it and GvG guilds NEVER effect WvW (and it’s ppt based, u can like it or not but it is like that) in a big way during their raids.

warriorjrd.8695:

Halvorn.9831:

Personally I think not talking about GvG is one of the better things that can happen to WvW.

With the introduction of GvG WvW will be completely dead. I still enjoy WvW and I do so because I do not have to leave my mostly PvE-centric guild and can still enjoy some larger-scale PvP. I do not want to lose that.

There are still plenty of people who would play WvW, heck I’m sure even GvG guilds would still play wvw to raid, they don’t GvG 100% of the time. However you do raise a good point. Playing for the tick does indeed seem to be a dying mentality, still popular in some areas though, but definitely declining.

that was a good point, but even now alot of guilds don’t give a kitten about tick (at least in tier 1 for 100%) and going for fights because they enjoy fights much more and there is no challenge into it and they can’t do much in their 3-4h raids on overall ppt by flipping some staff.

I agree that was a good point, but on other side there are alot ofguilds that do not GvG and just raid (mostly PvX) or GvG rarely.

Rading is still will be fun as fighting for/inside objectives can be pretty fun activity.

shimmerless.4560:

Chicago Jack.5647:

Be patient when fighting shatter. If you’re dp, you have more stealth than they do. If you’re sd, you have more ports.

Dodge at the right times. Remember, they can pull off a 10k combo by using a short range mirror blade, shatter, mind stab – that’s it. No other requirements needed other than get into your face.

You should be able to beat shatter as a thief.

Pretty sure he meant he’s playing an Engi

yeap.

my build wasn’t good agaisnt mesmer at all at that moment, but i wanted to try it though =)

another thief got rekkkkt

month ago I dueled same mesmer for maybe 30+ times and i won only 2-3 times, broken class? U can say anything about my skill, but u can’tkittenloose 30+ times in a raw with OP kitten.

Then I have to assume it was off-point, and he was probably a PU-Mesmer as well.
Otherwise, well..

shatter….

another thief got rekkkkt

Scryeless.1924:

Bubi.5237:

Chris Whiteside.6102:

Please list your top three priorities for raiding (Challenging, Instanced, Cooperative, Content)

Challenging, Instanced, Cooperative Content?

1.: PvP-based (not sPvP, PvP )
2.: for 15-20 players vs 15-20 players
3.: and name it “GvG”

That’s the raid I want.

This is actually how you give players the most challenging of encounters. NPC’s will never be as challenging as fighting another team of players that can adapt and change tactics based on the tactics your team is displaying. I think the Raid encounters need to be designed with this in mind to give it as real a challenge as possible.

Totally agreed, thought i don’t mind about people to get hardcore PVE content and divide “pvp rading/gvg” from pve raids.

Galie, i spent more then 4k hours in wvw doing all variety of things in it.

I tried AA but i came back, cause you doing much better job, though ofcourse there are things that could make it much more interesting and keep a tONES of players in game.

Leagues together with unbalanced transfering on long-time basis made bad influence on wvw, causing some servers to become overstacked and some to become more empty.

I highly reccomend you to announce that it will be no more leagues in future and make server transfering based on WvW leaderboards, because after megaserver was implemented in PVE, transfering became only about WvW.

No more leagues – becuase it makes people to play wvw for some weeks and then quit because – “no league – nothing to push for” – that philosophy is going with leagues.

OS – megaserver as EOTM, it will be a big push for GvG and after that u can make and discuss about that map to make it instanced so people can play there gvg officially with some number locks etc (for ex-le, just to make a buble arround arena so noone can interfare, set prepare time (changing gear etc – 2m with ready button), set buffing time (30s) and max round time (10m, the side who got most people alive till that time wins). Make it for example as some NPC in LA/WvW that Guild Leader/Officer need to talk with to set a GvG vs another guild, and another guild leader gets the invitation by mail that he need to answer in 24h or not less then 1h prior GvG arranged time. Set a roster for that only 10+ (so you won’t have 2000 instances with people just 1v1). Other ideas i will put in gvg CDI, but i’m trying to make as simple as it could be for Devs team, becuase complexe system can take too much time.

EOTM had it pros and cons, overall i think the only thing that could be changed about it it to make normal WvW a lil bit more rewarding (scale defending an obective with people arround and set some ammout of money for that max-50s for defending something 5v30+, so no abusing will be possible)

Outnumbered buff to make a bit stronger as for PPT wise ONLY (build/repar faster etc).

The things that could change wvw alot but won’t take much work (ofc i can’t know for sure but chaning some numbers<making entire new map) are most important to think about, becuase alot of this things can be made in a small period and make huge influence on the game.

Best way to find out wich things will be bette to make is to make TS meeting with WvW server communitys (4-5 guys from each server NOT more) and ask their points of view on-air. Maybe choose a few of them who could help you in futhurmore brainstorming and can see the influence of changes not only on their own servers but on overall WvW and overall game.

and ofc “After all i wonder whats the name of game again?. Shame ANET seemed to forget that.” Sacrx

oh well when i login I…I….DC again!!

MrFluffy.9307:

I heard rumors we may be getting one… is this true??!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Guilds-Guild-Halls/page/17#post4469798

here you are.

bubi u really invested time to think about it?

I know how to deal with it.

EU
Deso blobs, kodash acs bla bla bla, some nab left vE to blob with pveers, next olympic games for swimming will be made in pool full of desotears, scientists discovered that those people who use perplexity runes in wvw are more inclined to satisfy male monkeys by oral stimulation of their genitals, kresh is not happy with SFR current tick during prime time, so he gonna buy a few prime time guilds.
EU – FSP bought american guilds to open the doors to T1.

I played archeage for 1 month.

I played both NA and EU chars.

On both i had black donkeys.

On EU i called him Usainbolt because he was fast!
On NA i called him Blackslave because he was my donkey!
All my e-friends laughed with me – yellow, black, red or normal.

And wait for it….I’m not racist.

Racism and trolling is a HUGE difference.

And y racism should be punsihed as verbal abuse, But u should identify it in a right way.

And don’t forget – money rules the world..sadly…

MomentofWeakness.1246:

An Important Side Note!

I had a Hugh Norfolk in my Guild for the “Adopt-A-Dev” program. It was a great experience and while I did suggest ideas to him, I can promise you not once did I suggest something as trivial as removing white swords to him because it punishes me as a commander and the player-base as a whole whether they are roamers, havoc groups, or zerglings.

Two of My Main Suggestions to My Adopted Dev, Hugh Norfolk

One of my suggestions was to increase the HP of siege and structures when you have the outnumbered/outmanned buff on any map by 33% so that when an enemy is attacking you with a 60 man blob and you have only 10 people on (because of a lack of population during YOUR servers low-coverage time-zone), you will probably still lose things, but you will lose them slower. Since the rate of decay during off-times would be reduced through this buff, under-populated coverage times would lose less PPT overall than they normally would and although it may not completely solve the current discrepancy of being outnumbered/outmanned it would certainly help with reducing PPT lost during these time zones. The importance of buffing siege/structures is that it doesn’t create imbalance in the game because it just adds more health to siege/structures which are neutral.

To supplement the first idea I had, I suggested that Anet provide more incentives to players who choose to play when outnumbered/outmanned because then they will stay on the maps which would also help raise PPT overall during low-population time-zones. As far as incentives, I figured that a 33% buff to WXP, XP, Karma (which already exists), Gold Find, and Magic Find, would entice players to stay on a map because the game is recognizing their loyalty to play during a time-zone that is less attractive and requires more hard work. I just wanted to throw this in at the end because I noticed a lot of negativity regarding the “Adopt-A-Dev” program and I though it was fantastic. As far as the ideas go, I don’t know if Hugh Norfolk conveyed any of what I proposed to the rest of the Anet team but I do know that we talked about it and he was kind enough to let me express my thoughts about WvW

mate, u let him play hambow in “guild raids” what you know about wvw?))

And he still thinks that taking SM on headstart aftre reset is actually good for PPT? Or you thinking like that aswell?

It’s great that u have such dev in your guild, but from videos of Hugh i understood that u play pugblobs and ok with hamboy.

Much love.

U came to play computer to play without people? – Then why the hell u playing MMO?!?! There are alot of good RPG games, go for it.

There is a thread on forum about guilds raids and it’s all about PVE raids, pls move your GEORGEOUS thoughts there and leave wvw alone with your scrubs, legendary deers, aggresive monkeys etc.

Remove PVE from wvw – less lags.

Remove northen PVE events on bls for the beginning, really noones are doing those.

Somebody stab the topic starter please.

Much love.

TS is talking about EU, i bet if he wants zergfights he don’t wanna nock-nock to Amercian Boys in their night/day time.

Even then, that cowboy is almost right =)

t1 servers still got good zerg fights in EU, better come deso =)

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/CDI-Guilds-Guild-Halls/page/17#post4469798

so basically, in 1-2 weeks after rading CDI that ongoing atm.

J envy.5270:

you got 8 classes since release
3 light – ele,necro,mesmer
3 medium – ranger,thief,engi
2 heavy – war,guardian

i know i know people gonna say….“why add more when they should balance what we have better…blah blah”…this post is not for that…i just want to know if a 3rd heavy class is possible to be incorporated in this game. Short n sweet post.

no need to add that’s why they don’t add.

play another games that doesn’t exist =))

I understand how they came to idea of removing white swords:

Devon: Guys we need to better get into problem of advantage of running with a huge group and support more smaller groupds for capturing/fighgting in wvw/
RadnvomDev: Big groups make orange and white swords! While small groups making only white, so let’s remove it and give advantage to smaller groups!
Devon:Great idea, community will be happy.

At least it’s how i understand it. “RandomDev” didn’t ook in account in here that ussually when a big group wants to take an object just making less then 25 guys hit the object and bananas don’t trigger, that simple.

Looking forward to that idea though.
Alot of people outcrying babys left over without mom’s kittens becasue of that changes, but I would better try it and i don’t care if it will be good or bad, it will be fresh 100%.

Though with PPK system, will it be still viable to take and defend objectives, or it will be more effective to snowball everything with uberblob. Maybe balancing the TIK time itself with points per objective in terms to make it more efficient to save those, and make objectives tik more first 5h, so uberstrong servers will have lesser adventage.

Anet should invite some really HC players to some of their meetigns/testings, but the one that can stay silent to the other community to not kittentalk them behind their back etc, so he could help them to see how things can go. Yes it will be work, but it will really help alot to their team.

I remember few of the funniest days in wvw was:
- the day with chaos storm mesmer bug (it was dealing 20k+ dmg on golems when “Chaos storm on falling damage”)
- the day when you could build ONLY golems among all siege (that was a blast, NO ac, no trebs, no rams, just ROBOTS)
So looking forward for testings.

whie swords, black swords, pink swords – doesn’t matter.

Class balances+proper GvG and +0,5 ml people back into gw2 in next 6 months.

John Corpening.9847:

Hello All,

There was quite a lot of discussion around the proposal of removing white swords from objectives in WvW. We understand there are concerns about how this change might work in practice or how player behavior may change as a result of it. We felt like the best way to understand fully the impact, and give players a chance to see for themselves how it directly changes the WvW experience is to let people try it and see what they think.

We have decided to run a special multi-week event in WvW where we’ll be changing some of the “rules” of WvW for a limited time. This event will feature two major rule changes while it is running: we are planning to remove white swords from objectives, and add points per kill in WvW to the over-all score for the duration of this event. We are currently targeting December for this event but will keep you posted when we have dates nailed down for certain. If this type of event is successful, we may look to do more events like this in the future where for short periods of time the rules of WvW are changed to different rules, scoring and scenarios to help both keep the game fresh, as well as to change up the experience and try new fun things for WvW.

We look forward to your feedback once the event begins, both on the temporary event only changes, as well as the concept of these special events in WvW.

Thanks,
John

Totally awesome idea to test it and make WvW more fresh for some time.

hammerstun was nerfed longago =))

It’s still viable, but it’s not something that u can’r run without. It’s cheesy against nabs. Guardian hammer is much stronger for e-le
