Reduce the ammount of people that can ress a downed ally. There is already a limit of 5 (lul). Just make it 1 or 2 and you won’t be seeing insta resses as much.
Server links should go away too. When people bought gw2 a long time ago and started playing wvw they didn’t think people would take away their server identity and start moving them around forcing them to play with another server.
What about the dead servers that provide a horrible WvW experience to new players? New players aren’t going to stick around for WvW if they just walk in barren wastelands without finding other players. The links are good and should stay.
And before someone from EU comes and complain about my opinion. Ask Arena Net to remove links from YOUR region. NA is good with links.
Remove the leap finisher from Heartseeker. Problem solved.
Then Thieves would have the worst stealth access in the whole game compared to every other class that has it and they are designed for stealth unlike every other class in game.
Plus your suggestion would ruin more than just Stealth on Thief since that finisher is useful for a lot of other combo fields. The best idea is to implement the 1 sec ICD on stealth stacking across the board.
I hardly see anyone use Heartseeker other than stack stealth. Your “that finisher is useful for a lot of other combo fields” argument is silly because of that. Besides, you have Bound for all your leap finisher needs.
Sure, the ICD on stealth aplication would be the best, but you cannot suggest hard to implement things because you can be sure they will never happen.
To be honest, thief should just be totally reworked so stealth can be reworked too.
Remove the leap finisher from Heartseeker. Problem solved.
Thieves should just be completely reworked…
This does not affect me so I give no kittens about it… Besides, it’s not like it gonna change anything.
But you people can keep aguing about it like if somenthing gonna happen.
Someone didn’t got the joke in the quoted post.
You looking for a cookie?
No… I’m just pointing that you are answering to a sarcastic post.
Someone didn’t got the joke in the quoted post.
They might as well just give you a Gift of Heroes for every 500 ranks you get in WvW, handed out retroactively ofc. That way it takes dedication to WvW to earn one, isn’t tied to tournaments, and still allows you to eventually earn enough through ranking up to promote every single Hero weapon (requiring you to get to Diamond Veteran rank). I think its fairly reasonable
“requiring you to get Diamond Veteran Rank”
“I think it’s fairly reasonable”
I laughed.
Yawn, I think you people care too much about little things…
Tanking on purpose isn’t going to give you a link.
It problably will…
Mag is a bit disorganized in terms of roaming, alot of solo roaming instead of banding together in groups of 3,
Mag not running in groups.
lul
He clearly just saw a druid and got triggered…. Nothing to see there.
Again, if this is true, there should be some explanation.
Just forget it… You’ll die of old age before receiving it.
That being said Arena net did change the match up a little Yesterday in that they took 1 of the servers away from SoS. My concern is that if they could do that 1 week before reset why couldn’t they give DB that server being as we are sourly hurting for #’s right now i our current match up.
Wtf? SoS only had IoJ linked with them since the links happened… Wtf you smoking?
That being said, I sincerely hope anet isn’t influenced by TC and YB’s tanking this week and the last few days of the prior week. Links are getting reset so they begun tanking.
If JQ keep PPT’ing and end up in 3rd instead of YB, yes you won’t get a link. Your server know this and it’s up to them to choose if they want a link or not knowing that TC/YB are tanking.
So it’s been 8 weeks (or 2 months), when and where is the relink? I want to watch the glicko ratings have massive heart palpitations.
Moreover, I want to finally get an even matchup where we are not getting 6v1ed anymore. Literally killing the WvW community in my server and waiting one more week is really driving a nail into the coffin. Especially when we were given the promise of 2 months a new relink.
Math explains:
7×8= 54
2 months = 60 days
And if you had read the other thread asking about the relinks you would see the quote I posted of McKenna saying it happen in the last friday of each even month.
Huh, pretty sure there is no 4-server link on NA nor on EU… Are you in the last links still?
Power has to chew through toughness and vitality in between blocks, invulns, dodges, etc.
This is also true for condition attacks. I don’t understand why you people insist in talking like if condition had unblockable in every attack.
Power is also a true three stat meaning Power, Precision and Ferocity must be primed in some way to deal any real damage.
Most power builds these days been walking away from Berserker and being much effective. People started to realized that you don’t NEED 220% crit chance to be effective. I’ve been seeing people run ~180%, sometimes less, and being very effective.
Also there are many contidition builds that need precision to increase their condition application.
Condi bypasses toughness, allows for somewhat passive application and most important can be done from one stat on some builds.
Define: passive application. You mean “It applies condition on auto attacks”? Because I’m pretty sure you also apply direct damage on auto attacks on power builds.
Condi Duration is a bonus on many builds as their application is so frequent. Condi can also load up their target and play keep away for the rest of the fight.
If condition duration was just a bonus people wouldn’t need to run Rare Veggie Pizza and Rune Sets that give condition duration… The addition of Condition Duration to the gear allow condition users to use other rune sets that never saw use before since everyone would be running Nightmare or a certain condition focused ones like Perplexity/Tormenting/Balthazar/Krait. It’s a sure thing that people running these sets aren’t running Vipers or Trailblazer or they are just tossing away stats for having over 100% duration.
Also, condition can be cleansed before they do damage, somenthing that cannot happen with Direct damage. If you just put conditions but don’t put pressure on your enemy, I find it unlikely that you’ll kill it unless it’s using some bad build that don’t have cleanses.

I’m pretty sure people marked as scouts (receiving shared participation) get a icon on squad. But you need to make the squad window a bit larger to see it.
PvE people don’t toward the population since 2015…
That pertains more to condi than necro. Condi necro is still one of the least cheesy condi classes that doesn’t suck. Our chill uptime and damage were both cut in half, and perplexity was nerfed, so we can’t even exploit that.
Oh, by no means I actually think Necro is cheesy… Honestly I already stopped used this term. I was just giving a exemple of what people may consider cheesy and under what lame excuse when it’s not even one of the top builds out there.
The mere presence of condis already trigger the “cheese” call for many people.
Nobody will call you cheese if you run Necro, so good might actually = cheesy
Condi necros are known as cheesy. Principally chill spam ones.
Anything that help a smaller group normally will help a larger group more.
I just would like to say Cerby was the person that thought enabling Revive Orbs in WvW was a good idea.
/dropthemic
One-shotters are why they won’t completely remove it, would be too obnoxious an environment for the average player. But I can see some trimming, because right now downed state is pretty obnoxious. Some players last longer on their back in a fight than standing up.
Your argument about why they won’t remove also explain why some people stay longer on the ground than standing up…
Unless the overall damage is trimmed up, removing downed state or even the invulnerability window will just lead to bust gank squads focusing single players and may the highest burst wins. I understand that’s already how it works, but you still need to deal with the downed person currently.
Shaming people into not running builds that are effective is not the way to get challenging, or diverse, fights.
Can’t blame the people for running the most effective build out there, but there is no such thing as diverse fights when everyone run the same thing… After fighting for exemple 10 different warriors, and all of them are the boon duration GS/Axe+Shield meta build, it feel you are facing the same thing over and over…
Last friday of the second month. So, next week.
The poll has ended! After removing all votes for “Don’t Count My Vote” the final results are:
38.1% Reevaluate match-ups monthly.
28.9% Reevaluate match-ups quarterly.
15.9% Reevaluate match-ups every other month.
11.6% Reevaluate match-ups every 6 months.
5.5% Reevaluate match-ups every 4 months.After analyzing the results we have decided to go with a 2 month world linking evaluation schedule because the majority of players voted for evaluations to be more frequent than quarterly but less frequent than monthly. Since we have decided to reevaluate every 2 months we will be reevaluating the current world links and making adjustments on the very last Friday of every even month starting this month on the 24th. Thank you to everyone who voted!
Next time you see a poll for adding a feature just vote against it. It will of the same quality.
So we just keep WvW as it is forever because we’ll just vote no for everything? Ok…
Roaming is pretty much dead since there are so many cheese builds with low to no risk playing it.
That’s been the case since launch so by your definition, roaming has always been pretty dead.
Can’t blame people for running what is more effective. Blame the game, not the player.
I play Power Chrono because I find it fun, but I won’t say that Condi Chrono isn’t superior by far in a 1v1 (or even 1vX) scenario.
I’m too busy dodging cannon balls to know if druids are balanced or not.
That’s possible. That wouldn’t be reflected in published ratings then. But what confuses me about it though is how YB’s “temporary adjustment” was changed to +75. YB’s showing a published rating that puts them as rank 3 server pretty solid in T1 so why would their adjustment need to be reduced then?
Beats me… Maybe they wanted YB to still have chances of rolling T2 (#RotateTheDream), or maybe they just wanted to YB not be the highest rated server as +150 would put them far ahead of the other 2 T1 servers even with less than 2000 actual rating.
YB rolled green in a T1 matchup twice, which means that the RNG rolls ended with YB being the highest rated server both times and it wasn’t even close to T1 server ratings.
When they adjust a server they adjust it at the end of a match up no?
Yeah, but after the ratings calculations from the matchup result are ended. So instead of rolling with the rating that resulted from the matchup, they add the adjustment rating prior the RNG roll to define the new matchups. If NSP match ended right now, they would gain 31 rating going from 1734 to 1765. Then to roll the matchups they would be using 1915 (1765+150) as NSP instead.
At least that’s how I belive it work right now as we’ve been seeing too many low % matchups happening to servers that had their ratings adjusted.
I don’t know… After seeing NSP rolling a T2 match in FA place like when they had a 150 rating difference feels simply like they are just adding the rating at the time of RNG roll.
You may never said that but that’s how you sound. In this post here for exemple:
Only guy so far that has a clue about the topic. The rest of you sound like you have a totally different gameplay style and trying to put in some 2cents about something that was not asked of you in the orginal statement. To those individuals, can you name off one notable havok guild or roamer and their server location?
You pretty much say that you don’t care about what other said because “it was not asked in the OP” despite people giving some names of who they belive to fit in the question.
Now in this other post you cleary say “A name drop worthy of mention”. It implies that everything else we mentioned is not worthy it.
It sound to me that you are just waiting people to post names that you know so you can praise them and completely disregard the rest.
Also, someone finally did a name drop on this thread that is worthy of mention, Quickcry….whom is currently on JQ.
If everything people mention is hardly worth it, why you bothered making this thread in the first place?
Definition of a roamer:
I’m trying to solo a camp, party comes in. *party invite, *decline. In say chat: “Sorry guys, solo roaming.”. Running towards a tower, capping tower *squadinvite *decline. In say chat: “Sorry, solo roamer”. Running from tower being caught up in ganking in front of SM *partyinvite *decline. In map chat: “No offense but I don’t want to be in any of your parties!!!” *squadinvite
Roaming is pretty much dead though, thanks to June 23th 2015 and HoT.
So tag and go on a closed guild raid.
Invite only but no one in the squad complains about that, no tail, everyone got food buffs and decent roaming specs.
I think you missed the part where he said “solo”.
Yah solo is dead… Rip Han…… I think you missed the part that was the entire point…
lol
I think you just being silly now.
As a reminder, we held a poll 2 months ago and the community voted to beta deployable cannons: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/WvW-Poll-18-July-Cannon-Blueprints-Closed/page/3#post6252969
Why do you let people with zero experience in WvW vote? People should have at least 1k WvW rank before being allowed to vote, or maybe even better: ask the top guilds in WvW what to do. Or else you risk polls getting abused by PvE ppl who just to troll.
Please don’t, dedicated Scouts like me are super low-levelled (right now only rank 233)
EotM heroes will be able to vote anyway… So that idea is faulty.
“Dueling” Condi is lame as kitten.
Another full noob who cant Play any power class.I rather duel a full condi build than the super sustain bunker ones any day.
Many of the condi builds are crazy bunkery too + don’t take the hit on dmg that most power builds take for bunkering up.
Just because they have the stats, doesn’t mean they are traited to be bunker… A rabid necro with Undead runes maybe be tanky (3k armor and 20k HP + 13k Life Force) but it will never be more annoying than a minstrel druid with healing traits.
Mesmer and Warrior.
And if you’re ballzy enough to have poor mobility: Necro.Yep, and don’t need much mobility really if you build your Necro for super chills… ah nothing like dropping a load of ice one after another one an enemy and watching him slow mo to death.. lol…
Chills can be cleansed and movement skills ignore Reduced Movement from chills, but who run these on WvW amirite? People always complain about condis that I doubt anyone even knew that…
I am assuming that the NSP and DB adjustments are being removed, since NSP is now solidly in T3 and DB is now solidly in T4 (last place in the ratings), as ArenaNet intended. Continuing +150 for NSP will put them solidly in T2 (with a chance to get into T1), and continuing -150 for DB will give them a 1455 rating which is just insulting.
And what about YB? Continuing +75 for them would give them a matchup rating of 2046, which is higher than the #1 server. While I believe that ArenaNet thinks YB is strong enough to stay in tier 1, I don’t think they believe YB should be the highest-rated server in NA. So I’m guessing the +75 is going away this week as well.
From what I see happening lately, everytime they do these manual adjustments they keep them live until said otherwise (or until relinked)… At least this is what happened to CD +200 adjustment last links and the YB first adjustment of +150. Pretty sure NSP still have +150, DB have -150 and YB have +75.

Nah, it’s not necessary. You already said that I should refer to you as a woman (since you are one, or so you say), and I’ll try to remember doing that.

Oh, I must have missed your other post. So roamers are small groups of people who take on much higher numbers in a sucessful manner.
Well, some of the ones I know that still run are problably [XT] currently on SBI and [tRex] currently on SoR. My guild [Sold] used to do that too back on Dh, but most of the core players moved on to other games or just play casually now so I wouldn’t include it on a current ones list.
Your question in the original statement is vague and can be interpreted in many different ways… Your difinition of roaming might not be mine or of the next person there. People are pointing out their experiences with what they belive to be roaming…
How about you give your definition of roaming so people can respond accordingly to exactly what you want?
Next will be calling airstrikes on open field like they do in smc
