Guild Wars 2

DeWolfe.2174:

It’s why I’ve always said that when balance goes out the window, the best remedy is greater mobility. Players will balance themselves out as the map queues are still the end all, be all.

What we needed was simply less tiers and new labels.

Oh the irony of you talking balance after so many posts demanding T1 be opened up.

Raygan.8569:

And being forced to do it makes it a living hell since I detest any sort of PvP.

Uh?!

Yeah you can`t impose your rules on others, no matter.

Most duellers will respect the /bow. It’s stupid to stake someone and make them run all the way back if you want to duel — you wind up standing around.

Just remember the guy and don’t extend him the same curteousy next time.

HazyDaisy.4107:

But Suprisingly not many pvers realized that, most that used that trick were wvwers who would pop in from let’s say VB read map chat and see orange and then get sucked in to an hour long fight.

If anything, the crafting stations helped more than hurt. Taking them away has denied defense the possibility of getting a few extra bodies and their supply. The true trolls, que takers, spies etc. are probably hanging out in some obscure location like the JP.

Oh c’mon.

You’re not being honest here.

Those that came into craft would very rarely dip a toe into WvW. It wasn’t their scene.

As many many many who protested this change have said: They used it as a “cheat” to get back to the exact same spot in PVE they were prior, and be able to access bank, etc …

EU kind of got shafted with the fixes they made universally for NA. We were fine before.

There used to be a saying: T1 is where guilds go to die.

There’s some truth to that.

Just this one time!

Anet caves. Stacking ensues.

Week later.

Wait! No fair, my guild is split. Open it one last time.

Anet caves, super stacking ensues.

Two days later.

Wait! No fair!

Rinse. Repeat.

Week later.

Anet do something about the queues! Do something about server balancing! DO SOMETHING!

CrimeMaker.8612:

So basically you guys are saying you do not want players from pve and you do not want new players? Then how do you expect WvW to get better?

Bah don’t listen to the snobs.

If I ever get ANY time off work, I’ll take ALL of you pve folks interested in WvW and run clinics. And then we will collectively smoosh all the snobs

Idiots who expect you to come into game knowing everything are just .. well .. idiots.

The only way you can learn is by making mistakes. And the only way you can fix mistakes is by learning from others.

Pretty much every server out there used to run zerg, siege and scouting clinics for all new incomers. It may be time for each collective server to revisit that, invest the time, and set up a schedule of events, and invest in your community.

I’m ashamed by all of your bigotry. Only the mighty dolyak is suited for the Lord’s Room.

For shame.

I miss the days when you could go to Lion’s Arch and rally the troops.

In my day we put in 12 hour days with NO reward, and we LIKED it dag nabbit!

funghetto.1584:

true, but Jayne do you say those things listed above SHOULD be there? LOL

Nope.

Should is subjective.

Check the date of my post

xBrutalityx.3507:

1 tick of meteor shower should not be hitting 8k damage that’s more than half my hp bar, the damage should be reduced by quite a bit its not even remotely balanced .

Try experimenting with your equipment. Running glass builds in WvW is not a great idea unless you know how to dodge/time your evasion. More vitality and toughness will help with this.

You must not have played first year

Anyone remember when SoR was the server everyone loved to hate?

ArchonWing.9480:

Let’s not even talk about WvW.

There’s a reason why there’s no crafting stations in HoT maps or in dungeons/fractals/raids and I’ve never seen requests for them. Can you imagine what it’d be like if people stopped in the middle of a fractal run “BRB need to craft, we’ll be 4% more effective after 15 minutes!”. What about people that are in a full map for Dragon’s Stand? Would it be cool if they just went in that crafting? What if I go into these things and halfway through I realized I didn’t bring my best food? I deal with it, and get prepared next time like anyone else who actually cares about using the best stuff.

This kind of behavior isn’t acceptable anywhere else. Why would it be acceptable in WvW?

Back when gold was harder to get I understand, but with dailies giving 2 gold every day, please seek out more time efficient ways for your crafting needs.

+1000

LetoII.3782:

No! put them in SMC
Pay the iron price for your crafting

Lololol. As if there aren’t enough map whiners: “Why aren’t we hitting SM? I WANT SM!”

Ebil child. :p

I’m pretty sure those saying they respond to calls for distress are fibbing. Or exaggerating.

Scout types don’t tend to care much about crafting — some don’t even care if they get their daily’s or not.

In WvW we call outnumbered “a target-rich environment” … or “MORE LOOTBAGS FOR EVERYONE!”

Ah hahaha .. this is a major necro of a thread.

.

I find it interesting that people are proposing the green team get DBL, since it’s the easier one to defend.

I find I have to use my PC to vote, it rejects login on the tablet for some reason.

Wow guys, someone takes the time to point out how to make WvW enticing to other areas of the player base while warning about possible pit falls and all they get is this?

OP, the gear doesn’t cost that much if you craft it, chances are you will have the mats already and a lot of guild members will craft it if you’re not able to yourself. You can run all exotics and you’ll be fine, ascended armour really isn’t worth it unless your head has been up your back side so long you’ve forgotten what daylight is.

I do also agree with the OP that there could be a much better tutorial of what you do in WvW, the difference between normal and superior siege, what supply is (I have known people who don’t even know that) and how to use it. Then a brief basic on tactics, what you can do to help and you’d be golden.

I think I love you just a little bit for this.

I’m still not duelling you.

The engine can’t handle it, GW2 is built on a modified GW1 engine. It looks pretty but is horribly inefficient. Anets technical expertise isn’t that good.

Actually for an MMO it is a pretty efficient server engine. To my knowledge no game out there has dynamic positional combat on this scale with this many AoE skills firing.

I still fundamentally believe their base problem was putting far too much AoE into the game.

ESO has lots of aoes and dropped the restriction a while ago.

Lol that’s because ESO lacks players.

The game actually seems to be doing quite well.

And its funny making that comment given the decline in WvW population.

Last time I played there were five players on the map. I logged.

There are also practical barriers. Say I like the sound of havoc groups (I do). To try that will I need a set of e.g. rabid gear? If so, that’s on the order of 100g just to try something out. Free level 76 exotic gear, that’s only usable in WvW and disintegrates after 30 hours, would be more like it.

… what? Wtf do you use, armor made of gold? A full set including weapons and sigils/runes is like 20 gold (or 10 days of doing nothing but daily). Ascended trinkets is dirt cheap. And thats not even counting the options for WvW bought gear, which is more like 7 gold + badges.

Most players run all ascended gear for WVW, and need more than one set to switch out to be able to run different party comps. I don’t know any nubs running condi builds anyhow.. running rabid gets you gkicked lol

LvL 76 gear = score for other team.

Lol. I still run mostly exotics. And I can still beat you

You might be able to with a stick outside of WvW, however, in WvW you are welcome to try. XD

Sure, let’s meet up. What server are you on?

zhonnika.1784:

If you care at all about balance from the top down, do not open BG. They do not need any help.

Sadly few do. Then they’ll be back here complaining about imbalance.

Sigh.

Popcorn?

Heather.4823:

About time. The fake full on Aurora Glade was silly. We aren’t even close to high!

Stop fibbing. Your commanders are always high

Meanwhile I’ll get the popcorn for #re-schtack2016.

Fiddle Irk.9710:

dumbest thing ever ANET. why why why why why? stop doing this stuff to us for no valid reason. this is very lame and ticking off your remaining player base.

Actually WvW players have been asking for the removal for years.

Akkeros.1675:

how about a frikkin bank in spawn locations?
sry to hijack, when i think of mystic forge location i think of garri when i run past it to get to the bank

Right click the guild banker on any map spawn to get personal bank.

Keep the Mystic Forge. Those that don’t use it don’t defend apparently.

ImNoir.5742:

I miss the crafting stations but pulling them makes sense. Could you please consider putting a Golem banker in Citadel so folks can at least get to inventory.

Right click the guild banker.

Burst builds rely on timing. You mess up that timing and faceplant.

Any experienced dueller/roamer will be set up to sustain at least two bursts.

It’s certainly a “rush” to play, but not hardy.

All of the servers in this mashup should be actively recruiting on the forums, because I’m pretty sure a lot of people are curious how it plays out.

Sweet Sanity.8593:

Yeah you can only put 5 rams at a gate before it seige caps. Just FYI

Not if you don’t build them before thrown.

I don’t blob so I don’t use the ram, but I have an unhealthy fixation with trebs

I’d still like a reset vendor. Cos I don’t blob.

Silberfederling.9302:

Jayne.9251:

You know that gift of battle vendor you want? Yeah we’ve been asking for a reset vendor for close to three years now.

Actually no. “We” have been asking for something to do with 4k+ useless points…..

Lol you can mail some to me. I’m still below 1K after almost three years.

I believe the limits were put in place to counter the effects of lag/culling.

You know that gift of battle vendor you want? Yeah we’ve been asking for a reset vendor for close to three years now.

Honestly, just make spies/trolls work for you. If they’re sabotaging one particular tower/keep, you know there will be inc soon. If they run around a tower and not refresh siege, ditto.

Use them.

Pat yourself on the back for smiting a bad player, then block them by right clicking on their name in whisper.

Honestly though? Take a screen grab of their hissy fit and post it on your server forum for a good laugh.

Most decent players will whisper you to congratulate you on good play. Then you get a new friend.

I’m hoping they emulate what they did in EU. Seemed to work well

Nobody liked my swipe left joke

All of you complaining about WvW, come join me on Piken. I’ll coerce Oni to run his blob clinics, to max your time/slaughter the enemy in blobs if you prefer. And I’ll get Omega to run a scout clinic and I’ll run a siege clinic. Half the frustration with WvW is getting on map and not knowing what you’re doing and then rage quitting at the first gank. We can run the map and do the ganking instead

In fact I’ll make sure I log on this Saturday on PSBL, will teach some tricks and run a group. Noon EST (which I think is 5pm London time). Meet at citadel. Look for pink Mesmer.

YB + JQ

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

That is what I was thinking… DB might be a better fit in this case. JQ and YB fought too long too recently for that pairing IMO.

You missed the WSR + ROF pairing in EU. Same thing. They worked it out though.

Swipe left! Swipe left!
