I don’t see what the problem is.
you are QQing about pvp in a pvp zone
What? Perhaps you’re confusing me with the OP.

Fully support this notion +1

They are also working to get their achievement, I don’t see what the problem is.

You can turn it into an interesting guessing game in your mind, just grab some popcorn, sit down, and try to guess what happens in the next frame.

It’s called showering in ectos. I already feel like I’m on equal footing with a PVE player.

Guild Wars 2 queues are much more realistic than in other games, here you can have friends waiting at the door reserving a spot for you, no matter how long the queue is behind them. kittens can always cut in front of the line, just like in real life.

Sounds like an interesting development, I’m looking forward to this :-)

Do some PVE mate, it’s important for their metrics.

does anyone else think the term ‘guild movements’ makes it sound like the digestive system? Guess Vabbi is at the smelly end of my analogy.
Yeah, servers are so busy stuffing themselves with guilds that they can’t see it’s just going to turn into a smelly blob in the end.

1. Mechanics that discourage using more than one character (WXP levels, time-gated BiS gear)
2. Skill lag
3. Reporting exploiters

WXP value resets when you change map, die, or rally from downed state.

I heard Guild Wars 4 is shipping with this feature.

I used to have some respect for OdS, the seven shadows….
But in the end they’re just another bunch of kids.I ran into a supply camp, tried to anti-cap (waiting for some help). They smashed me in 3 vs 1 and….. /dance, /laugh
I guess they’re just frustrated about Piken outnumbering them on all fronts so they savor the moments when they get a chance to pay back. Fought a couple of them earlier today on my mesmer, it was entertaining but the novelty soon wears off when a thief c&d’s neutral mob and shadow step + infiltrator’s signet + dagger 22222 away to reset the fight for the third time in a row.

Maybe they were worried we didn’t have enough golems for season 1. Thanks Anet!
all is vain
The size of SPRT blob is often enough to make smaller raids reconsider an open field skirmish, can’t really blame them for that.
all is vain
I love this funny little mix-up that occurred. Big respect to Anet, take all the time you need to fix it. We’re happy to wait! :-)
all is vain
Don’t worry, Anet are just gathering metrics on how popular WvW is compared to the newly released living story content. The answer is quite obvious – everyone is playing LS and there’s no one doing WvW. LS update = huge success.

Sometimes I run with chips, sometimes with twinkies. It really depends on which server you’re on, if your server can field a big enough blob to cause skill lag you can usually eat anything you want, just steer with your mouse and bind one of your mouse buttons to staff #1 on guardian.

Guise, guise, it might all work out for all we know. We won’t have the metrics until season 1 is over, guise.

Blob league, zerg league, and nobody’s playing league.

Been waiting for this since it was first mentioned on the forums, thanks for posting.

I suggest a lactose intolerant thief for that.
all is vain
So, what comes after roamer -> party -> zerg -> blob -> ? so I can describe what I’m seeing
Once it was called “le monobus” but times they are a-changin’.
all is vain
They’ll be playing on the test server. Oops, never mind, just wishful thinking.
all is vain
I think we’re all forgetting that you get the rewards based on which server you are on when the league begins. Join a stacked server, move back to lower tier to complete meta achievement, move back before next season begins.
People get rewards and Anet gets gem purchases. And I die a little inside if it works like this.
all is vain
You really are clueless, servers wont be able to create a situation where they can avoid random people getting on the map so they gain the buff. Also the outmanned buff is specifically when one server is “greatly outmanned” by another server so what is wrong with them receiving a buff to their kittekittenn order to complete?
I simply cannot fathom how your mind works, do you actually know this game?
Because when they buff goes away IE more people join, they would lose kittenats which in turn brings on the griefing and “omg you noob leave the map bc i want my kittenat bookitten back!!!!”
If they buff goes away they are no longer “outmanned” what is your point here.
Only situation where I can fathom this could be an issue is when you have a large number of people waiting at spawn for a GvG to begin, but it’s not like that’s a problem anymore.

I bekitten it’s jukitten a kitten of kitten until they kitten it.

Good luck to AM and GH, get ready to meet a lot of new Pikeneers.

I once saw an ArenaNet dev (everyone with the tag is a developer of the game of course) kick a puppy. He then went on to talk about how Justin Bieber has more musical talent than Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler combined. He finished by saying Trahearne didn’t get enough prominence in the Personal story and that Dark Age of Camelot is the worst MMO ever.
Even if this turns out to be true, this thread is nothing more than another ridiculous part of the hysterical war on WvW design by the “GvG” community.
I once saw Shiren standing on tower walls near his spawn camp, repeatedly unloading his arrow cart on soloers passing by for 12 hours. He didn’t get a single kill that whole time, BUT for him it was THE most fun he ever had in WvW. And thus he went to bed, with a smile on his lips and a most cunning plan in mind – to try out the same thing with ballista tomorrow.
The End
5/5 good read. Waiting for sequel.
all is vain
I enjoyed the build up in OP, was wondering where you were going with a title like that. +1
all is vain
Outmanned buff should give more WXP to your enemies when they kill you. They’re having hard enough time as it is, trying to find fodder for their blob. I also suggest allowing the higher populated server to take up the outmanned server’s spots in map queue because if you can’t get a full map on your own you don’t deserve to win anyway. Feel free to use these ideas Devon.
all is vain
Implementing simple things like that can take months, be patient.
all is vain
Agreed with OP. Anet just shoved their unpleasant orbs in our faces, least they could do is shave them a bit.
all is vain
They’re just helping you prepare for the upcoming leagues when you face megablobs from stacked servers, you should be grateful.
all is vain
ER and JS are still blobbing but their blobs can’t match the size of Piken blob. Also blobs.
all is vain
Except this took… a few days to notice?
After it went live yes.
Which is quite plausible due to the difference between live and testing servers.
But they’re one and the same in this game, we’re all playing on testing servers.

New WvW meta, build flame rams at choke points and have a ram master man them ^^

With GvG looking like a less feasible option we can branch out and try new possibilities, such as competitive form floating in the water area at ruins or perhaps a dance contest behind mills.

One good thing is that it makes your personal bad calls look a lot better in comparison.

It’s an exciting new addition that lets the lower-populated server test their skills and mettle against- ah kitten, I can’t even say it.

GvG topic gets moved fast from the WvW forum but that obtrusive red sPVP message won’t go away no matter what I do.

Nice to see we got the negative comments rolling in, was getting worried since it had been almost an hour into the reset with no complaining.
all is vain
Perhaps because they sick of repeating themselves in crappy pointless QQ threads that appear every week or 2.
Examples:
OMG we get no loot
Conditions op
match ups crap
100% biased game play improvement suggestionsetc
I’m sure they’d much rather post in threads that discuss the latest changes that have taken place in WvW, like adding WXP 4 months ago.
all is vain
Can be a idea that you (arena net) do a list off banned account for hacking, or at least a news like we banned 10k account for abuse off the game this week or something like that, that would scare at least some off the ones that think ooo I die all the time I need help.
They can’t do that, it might hurt someone’s feelings.

we all know how much vizunah loves their AC, but realy…? zoomhacks to keep us from upgrading SM in the morning? trebs from klovan and is this realy how you need to take down a counter treb?? outer wall down and a minute later rushing in with 40ppl nice…

well gj, hope you proud of yourself ‘’rotten apples’’ from the guilds: Wipe/WOT/SNCF
I really do hope they fix that kittening exploit but it’s not like I haven’t seen people from Piken Square and SFR do it too in this match-up, no reason to go pointing fingers. Every server has its share of them.
all is vain
A lot of classes have stability to prevent certain downed skills working, perhaps the downed skills should be changed to work regardless?
Invisible kittening is my pet hate. Characters who are invisible should not be able to perform this act and at least a delay before they can do it when they become visible.
The supposed invisibility trap is worthless too. Then the number of times I’ve nearly killed a thief just to see them escape into invisibility and attack me again later is ridiculous. The devs really need to reconsider the whole issue of thieves and invisibility.
Sounds like you’re not only serious, you’re dead serious.

Congratulations Vizunah, you deserved it
