I like how everyone pointed out the logical workaround to avoid having your bags drop on the ground and not being able to pick them up even though I clearly stated at the top that I knew what the work around was. I also like that people started using real world logic to describe why a dead person cannot pick up things.

None of it addresses that when you tag something the reward should go in your inventory because it’s auto loot and it’s a game and it’s dumb that it doesn’t. I don’t care what the reason is that it doesn’t go into your inventory, it should go in your inventory because you tagged it.

There’s a penalty in dying, just like pve. If you die before the boss goes down, you fail the raid.

They really should revert it back to a five minute decay. If you want that loot, you better hustle back and grab it before it disappears.

Honestly, at this point, it feels like you, OP, just want to fight over anything on the forums now.

If only OP would PvF about population balance….but then again OP is on BG, which thinks that the population distribution is just fine.

Bah pop balance is on the players. If they like boring steamrolls so be it. The smart folks will go to other tiers and spread out. But I’m a broken record on that.

if you’re not rank 3000 by now, there’s no way in seven realms of oblivion and the gazing abyss behind it that you can complete the wooden chest in one week.

No need for the hyperbole. I finished Silver on an account with rank 780 in 6-8 hours of WvW by getting either 3 pips per tick (2 for rank, 1 for third place) or 8 with outnumbered buff.

Except when youre on a skritt server that is just active enough to never have the outnumbered bonus, but inactive enough to always fail, so im cursed with 1 pip per tick, meaning i have to sacrifice my entire working week for getting the wooden chest, and thats just ridiculously disproportionate

I have a level 150 ish alt on a server that’s often in third place. I can expect 3 pips at a time, one for rank, one for placement, one for loyalty. I usually get the wood chest at the end of the first nights guild raid.

I don’t see how getting wood on a low level account can take an entire work week. Where is my math wrong here?

Your math i’s stuck where you get three pips and i get one pip

Ok. There are 100 pips in the wood chest.

At 1 pip per tick, that’s 500 minutes. Assuming that you only get one pip per tick the entire time.

500 minutes = 8.33 hours.

That’s a little over 2 hours a day for four days.

Do I think that’s too much time for the wood chest? Yes.

But that’s not an entire work week, unless you work a lot less in a week than I do.

Do that for one week.
The next week, you’ll get the loyalty pip, which will get you 2 pips a tick. So 250 minutes, or a bit over 4 hours. Now you’re down to 2 2-ish hour runs, again assuming only 2 pips per tick.

If i work all week i have an hour, maybe 2 in the evening. I dont always want to dedicate all my evenings to one game, much less one game mode. 8 hours on a weekend day is also harsh, i want to go out with my friends on the weekends.
In pve i can do bits of things, the rewards pile up.
In pvp i can do bits of things, the rewards pile up.
In wvw i can’t do bits of things because only complete things are rewarded and then reset.

Now that I think about, wouldnt it make sense for the pips to reset every 4 weeks with the matchmaking, rather than weekly? Just like the pvp track resets per season and not per week

Dear me, seems you’ve made choices that are good for you. Why should the game be changed to match your personal choices?

You can still earn pips, just at a slower pace. And that’s your choice.

It’s there to discourage suicidal pug farmer.
Next time just try to stay alive and stay on tag.

Hey now, I got my start as a suicidal pug … Dive into the massive sea of red to break up their pre-combos; allies pile in, stomp, profit.

Yeah that three pairing should prove lively.

Ok I must be really naive. Or Canadian. Or both.

I can’t see what’s so controversial about that beaver?!

Ok if it creates a monster liability issue by having player-created items; maybe Anet can give a choice of three for each server (artists I’m lookin’ out for ya! job security! wink wink), and then the community votes. They’d have to do some kind of tweak to ensure only those actively on X server were voting for X gear, but a girl can pie in the sky it.

As for the rest of you. Hilarious. Your responses actually made me laugh in some instances.

Any serious responses tho?

I think it’d would be awesome to have a set of gear that instantly visually identifies what server you’re from. And given the popularity of exclusive items, it would provide a source of pride, longterm goals, staying power in game, etc ….

Deihnyx.6318:

Hey, here’s an idea, can you get the “play for skin shaming” in another thread? That would sanitize this one and let people actually talk about the inherent issues of the current system.

No matter how hard you try to make it sound like, wanting rewards is not the problem. Both sides want them so quit with the hypocrisy around rewards. If people were “just playing for fun” they wouldn’t give a kitten about this thread or finding middle ground. Wake up.

Wanting rewards is absolutely the problem.

Trying to skew the subject because it doesn’t agree with your agenda is straw man.

Telling people to “wake up” is just rude.

Why can’t you accept that there might be one thing you can’t have immediately?

It’s not like you’re being prohibited from getting it.

And therein is where your argument fails.

Amaimon.7823:

my problem with the current system is that it punished new players.
We are being actively pushed out, because if you’re not rank 3000 by now, there’s no way in seven realms of oblivion and the gazing abyss behind it that you can complete the wooden chest in one week.
I think it would be more than fair that if at friday you havent completed the wooden chest, your pips don’t reset. Either that, or evenly distribute the rewards over the subchests. At least then there’s a prospect of progress.
To give a short anagram:

John has worked for Records for 5 years, he’s a veteran, and makes 4 euros per hour.
Jack has worked for Records for a few months now, he’s adapted to the world, but as a novice, he’s paid 2 euros per hour, sometimes only 1 euro per hour if his colleagues are slacking, meaning he’s punished for their negligence.
The boss of Records doesn’t want to pay out the wages if the wage is less than a 100 euros. either you get a checque for the full wage, or he wont pay you anything at all, even if you did the same amount of work.

So, John works for 20 hours, and has therefore earned the 100 euro check of his wage. The boss signs the checque, and he can collect his wage. Jack also works 20 hours, but he only made 30 to 50 euros on his clock, so the boss says “I don’t care how hard you work, if I have to pay you less than 100 euros, ’m not paying you at all”, so Jack goes home tired and sore, knowing he didn’t make a dime during the 20 hours, goes to sleep hungry, frustrated, and tired, while John down the corridor is throwing a party.

The next week, John goes back to work, and works another 25 hours to make sure he hits 50 euros. He walks up to his boss and asks for the pay now, but the boss says “nooo, you can’t make the wage in two sessions, you have to make the wage in one go. On friday I reset the clocks, so you gotta make the 100 euros in one week, but if you have trouble getting that in 20 hours, why not work for 50 hours, maybe 60, you don’t need sleep, you don’t need a social life, just lock yourself into the office and work until you’ve made a 100 euros”

Yes but in this case, not having the shiny doesn’t mean you’re starving.

John, Jack and everyone else each live in nice homes, have full bellies. The only difference is that John has red shoes, while Jack and a few others have yellow shoes.

I just want to know where all these disadvantaged new players were 3-1/2 weeks ago.

But, let’s say 1 million people purchased the game over the last 3-1/2 weeks and chose wvw as their introduction to GW2, a bit odd considering they’d have to level first, but whatever, we need the bodies so come on in.

Look at that, new players can get a legendary backpack at level 350…what’d I get at level 350? Oh yeah stomped more often by increasingly bigger crowds of people while wearing exotic level and below gear in T6 or T7. Man, those new people have it rough.

This is not constructive nor related to the discussion. Context clues and even more obvious posts will tell you that the term “new player” in this thread is not referring to someone who just got Guild Wars 2 and made a brand new character. It is simply referring to GW2 players who have not tried the WvW game mode.

Jayne.9251:

But we have seen with past WvW-only loot, people come in, don’t contribute, and leave once they grind it out in as few as a couple days. Then complain that there’s no content.

Nobody is asking to lower the reward scale so it can be grinded in a couple of days. People are asking for it to be made a little easier so it can be grinded in a few months instead of years. And if the newbies enjoy it enough over those few months, they’ll continue to join us regularly. There is simply no reason for it to take anyone almost a year or more to complete.

Do you need the new skin to play the game?

Guilds currently control the tactivators as public/private no?

Make them private, then if they get pulled, you can narrow down the troll

Turk.5460:

I don’t see why any veteran WvW player would oppose changes to base pips, giving new players a little more incentive to continue with the game mode and hopefully help revitalize it. Our veteran bonuses wouldn’t change, we’d still get rewards faster than the newbies.

If these “veteran” players really don’t care about the rewards like they claim not to, then I don’t see why they’re even posting in this thread to begin with. It seems like they do actually care about rewards, but by golly I don’t think they’ll admit that. Would they?

A question to all WvW players opposing changes to base pips to make it easier on the newcomers: Do you care about WvW rewards more than the WvW game mode?

I love having new people in game.

But we have seen with past WvW-only loot, people come in, don’t contribute, and leave once they grind it out in as few as a couple days. Then complain that there’s no content.

Remember the uproar about removing crafting tables?

I think the longer it takes to earn something, the more likely you begin to understand the game mode, creating resiliency and affording longterm population. There’s already been several posts by people saying they didn’t realize how much fun it is.

At the end of the day, the resistance by the “vets” stems around not wanting to enable this “because I want it” mentality and instead encourages a measure of investment.

The bottom line is nobody needs these new thing in order to play the game.

Famine.7915:

Hm. We usually get spammed with unwanted invites on our thieves.

That’s not for blobbing.

Since we’ve been having this discussion about longterm goals and incentive to play, etc .. I think what Anet’s done with the new armour and backpack is smart.

There are quite a few folks, myself included, who loathed anything to do with pvp — until I actually was forced to play it. Now I love it. It’s an opportunity to expand your style of play and find something “new” in MMOs after years of the same thing.

That said, how do you guys feel about having unique armour sets for each server? Each piece takes a good commitment to get, and identifies you and your server. A full set would take minimally six months to a year to obtain, factoring in all the possible hoarder/gimmicks cheats that could possibly be used with materials etc…

Six months is a long enough period to get to know your server too — its personality, the players, the community, and what they value. So those who are on an endless search for a permanent home may actually take the time to stick it out and learn whether one bad day is repeated over and over, or if it’s a fluke.

It also provides the foundation for a consistency of population; something we’ve been arguing about on this forum since pretty much year one.

For those who don’t care about skins, they can merrily server hop to their heart’s delight, generating revenue for Anet. But it could create at least some pause for those server hopping people that are currently creating chaos with balance issues.

The bonus of the unique armour sets is an increase in connection with server, server pride, and a reason to fight for your server. Even if you have Fort Aspenwood on your nameplate, if you’re wearing Ebay gear, your enemies can recognize it.

And if you hop servers, your home, your legacy goes with you.

So invest the time, get some funky stuff that’s unique in game. That’s what most MMO players seem to covet: Something nobody else has, or very few have. Exclusively through WvW.

Honestly think back to your fondest memories as gamers: weren’t the items you prized most the ones that took a lot to get? Even if you stop using them for their stats, you were loathe to destroy them and they gather dust in your bank never to be deleted? Because it reminds you of the time you spent getting the gear?

For completionists; this offers an almost endless quest. They can complete one set, then move to another server, complete another set, all while contributing to their new home’s WvW efforts. In their travels they’ll learn about each community and eventually find one to call a permanent home. One that fits them.

Better still, use social media to immerse the playerbase: Have players draw up designs, have players vote on those designs, so there’s a sense of ownership and pride with each set of armour. Engage on social media, on the forum, on Reddit, create American-Idol like voting polls; make it completely immersive and engaging.

What do you think?

Trajan.4953:

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but this kind of stuff only really happens during off peak times right? If that is the case then who really cares?

Mass reporting during a servers main time will take care of this fairly fast.

I’d be concerned they were using it as currency to launder money.

MMOs have been used this way for years now.

fishoa.9648:

New armors are just another carrot in a stick. They’re designed to be grindy.

The downside is that once players realize the grind is too much, they will just quit the mode. It’s not fun playing 3 time zones for 5 days to get very little rewards while high ranked players can play much, much less and complete Diamond.

High ranked players don’t care about the low rank player struggle and even belittle them when they ask ANET to lessen the grind. The irony is that they don’t realize this is an abandoned mode in a dying game. Feel grateful you’re getting new players because it won’t last long.

Well that’s not very nice.

And just to let you know, most veteran WvWers hate the queues — love the influx of players, but hate the queues. Having it “not last long” is not a threat lol

I’ve played WvW for four years now. I’m at rank 300-something because I scout all the time and when WXP was first introduced scouts got zero pretty much.

And I still want them to keep the 2K requirements.

If you want the shiny, work for it. Plain and simple.

Who knows? You may find you actually enjoy WvW.

Ayrilana.1396:

As long as they’re controlling each of their characters individually, I don’t see any rules that are be broken. That’s not to say that something shouldn’t be done if it becomes a bigger issue later.

If there’s a map queue and one guy is taking up six or seven spots, that’s not good.

As well, if the names are all garbled it’s likely a power levelling service to later sell off the toons with max value to them. It’s a whole industry unto itself.

There’s merit to reading Sartre.

Deihnyx.6318:

I simply stated that there is no such thing as afking without the use of a bot (which is illegal to use), because the game requires you to refresh your participation. For people who don’t care about participation, they automatically get kicked pretty fast anyway if they’re truly afk.
If people are just taking a small break, whatever the reason, they are within the acceptable boundaries set by Anet and I find people trying to get them kicked laughable. Next thing you know you’ll get kicked for just talking to a merchant for too long.

Now, whether you choose to follow a zerg, do roaming on the other side of the map or mindlessly flip camps nearby, all these scenarios are contributing to the server. Whether some people think it is not ok to wait near a camp to flip it has more to do with elitism than anything in my opinion.

And you’re entitled to your opinion.

For every keep or tower you own on the #1 rank server home map, your own home map keep or tower equivalent becomes invulnerable to attack by the #1 server.

In order to flip your garrison on home BL if you own the #1 server’s garrison on their map, they have to reclaim their garrison first, then come for yours on your home map.

The off-server not involved can still attack either two’s keeps.

Who is Blackgate paired against this week?

I totally agree with Jayne. Let it go…for your sanity and everyone elses.

uh no, this community is going to hear the complaints of others

Except it’s just you complaining and really nobody else.

Here’s the thing. You’ve spammed the forum about a piece of cosmetic appearance item that has zero impact whatsoever on your gameplay.

You’ve yet to give a viable reason for your demands, other than “I want it.”

You are representing your server in a very bad light and impacting whether people will transfer there. It’s true. The more you scream and yell about what you want, it makes it seem that’s the only type of player on your server — people who only care about themselves. WvW is a team sport. People out for themselves are not ideal teammates, and deeply impact how WvW is played.

Please stop this.

You have options. Either invest the time, or go find something else.

But please please please stop spamming this forum.

And if you’re doing it in game too, then I encourage other players to report you.

wow what are you the thought police? Censorship much? You say i have 0 arguments. I’ve articulated over 20 different reasons this is a bad decision by anet and yet that amounts to 0 arguments because you say so. Then you threaten to report me? for what I havent done anything to anyone? Might I add that its also abuse/harrasment on the forums to threaten to report someone. All of my arguments are invalid to you because you refuse to read any of them, even though the logic behind them is pretty flawless.

Answer this: Do you NEED this item to play the game? Or any of the new items? If you don’t have these items will you be unable to fairly compete with others who have them?

Please differentiate between want and need.

You’ve yet to provide an answer for this; besides “I want it”

If you are nonstop complaining in map (as you’ve indicated that you do in one of your posts) then it’s considered harassment. And it’s reportable.

no its not reportable to complain in map, but threatening someone in forums is.

no you dont need any of this. But ill use that argument to make my point. You dont need legendary armor you dont need anything in this game to play, you dont even need exotics to play or any armor for that matter.

So what are you arguing against that you just dont like complaining or people to try and change things? I mean with that logic why do the devs even bother to update the game, we dont need updates to play it right?

Thanks for proving my point.

And I’m not threatening you. I’m merely saying if you are abusing people in game the same way you are here, that folks should just report you.

Nonstop complaining in map chat interferes with gameplay; if people cannot get information out to their team because you’re spamming chat, you’re affecting their gameplay.

If you aren’t doing that, then there’s nothing to report.

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

We all bought this game, so as customers we have all right to complain when we feel cheated or disagree with something that Anet do…its Anet that should be actual professionals and give a answer about this issue, yet they remain on total silence.
I agree that the system should be reworked, but its been allmost a month and we havent seen any change, so I believe thats the way Anet wants the game mode to be. Myself i dont care anymore, just gonna keep playing the game normally, but if someone else feel that this is still a issue, i think is wrong to try to silence or censor this person.

It’s not censorship. Look at the front page of this forum. Look at any thread with more than one page.

More reason to doubleteam the #1? Greaaat idea.

What? It’s the way the game is supposed to be played so there’s a rotation of the #1 spot, which engages the playerbase.

The game isnt supposed to be played to double team the number1 server all day,where do you even get that idea from ?

If you’re the number one server, you earn it by fending off attacks from BOTH opponents; thereby cementing your dominance.

If you can’t fend off attacks by both your opponents, you fall in rank and it rotates up to the next server to try to fend of dual attacks.

As the fellow above me said: Do you expect people to just let you stay on top without earning it?

Yah cuz they already quit, keep dissuading and berating new players and gw2 vets who say that the new reward system is dissuasive and demotivating to continuous wvw play, which it is. Should do wonders for the wvw population. Saturday 2 weeks after patch on tier 1 and 2 borderlands are outmanned.

Oh that’s cos you’re on Desolation… Er, I mean Blackgate.

Jumpin Lumpix.6108:

You wvwers continuously attack and try to tell players who play for rewards that they are doing it wrong. Getting rewards in gw2 is end game and to discourage that type of play is ridiculous. You also continuously ignore any complaint from new players or veteran gw2 players that suggest that the new system is “dissuasive” which it is. But u know keep ignoring it and shutting it down, should do wonders for the wvw population.

No the 2K requirement is still total bs mindless grindfest which should be brought within reason. It shows Anet’s intent of long term abandonment of the game mode.

I miss the invuln at the base of the cliffs in Vale. It was like watching people face dive into spawn guards. You’d think folks would learn, but no.

Boo.

Next up: EU only world peace day. Everyone was green Only happened in EU and was hilarious in map chat. Had party in SM.

I like this idea. Anet has tried to encourage it with skirmishes, but it’s status quo.

What would be the ideal motivator? Don’t say loot, that’s always just a short term fix and borks the game economy.

It encourages the trash.

Judging from the responses of “certain” people, the trash is already in WvW…

Are you implying Im trash because I could have an aneurism? I think thats discrimination.

Hmm? You’re still here? I said certain people. Though if you think yourself as such, I can’t stop you.

I believe the correct term you were looking for is elitist. Trash = bad at said game mode. And if I had to choose between the two, I’d take elitist players over trash ones every time.

Not me. Some trash can be made into gold with enough patience. Whereas kittens will always be kittens.

1. Find some way to revert upgrades back to manual. Tricky because the old gold sink was bad, and if you let it upgrade manually for free, someone will troll and abuse it.

2. Revert EU back to single servers. Test out shiny new fixes on NA as they want them, and most WvW issues centre on NA issues.

3. If you continue with linking, create origin server nameplates to retain server identity while in game. Have announcements of which server flipped a tower or keep to encourage internal server competition/pride.

2) Reduce graphics settings or you will get lag in large scale fights. We’ve all known this

I never knew this because it’s so wrong. Server lag isn’t related to ingame FPS. Funny to see ppl think that still. You cannot do anything about it.

Server-end lag is server-end lag.

But if you reduce your graphics you can reduce the lag that’s happening because of your rig in big fights. It does help.

You guys are making me miss the days of suddenly finding myself face down in the dirt and the rumbling hooves of War Machine rendering three minutes later, lol.
