It sound like this guy is from Blackgate and realized the game is dying because BG is no longer winning.
Please open BG so we can fix this.
I agree that guilds deserve to play as they like and without interference.
However, you’re one of those folks who thinks people who follow are dead weights when a big part of the reason they’re dead weight is because you don’t communicate with them.
If someone wants to join in, of course you’re entitled to turn them down. But just keep it in mind that allowing them in your squad and in your teamspeak will very likely turn them from “noob” to asset.
It’s like the commanders who will only let Guardians, Necromancers, Elementalists and Revenants join squad but will deny everyone else, then yell that they’re scrubs for dying. Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because they’re not getting heal and boon support or verbal commands be it in TS or chat.
Just go the extra mile to help them out a little and you might be surprised how much of a positive impact a random zergling can make. They can’t know what’s up or survive if they’re being completely excluded from plans and support. Why are they to blame for being a problem, then?
And what about the ones who follow while they refuse by their own will to join squad and/or TS? You people need to remember that there are 2 sides in this coin and it’s not just the guilds that are kittenbags…
You can make a 10man squad without a tag… Works exactly like party except it’s a squad.
Sorry to ask, but what is going to be the use or the point of changing the servers link again? ><
Linkings are changed so that players will spend gems to transfer servers.
Honestly, if they want to profit out of transfers they just have to open BG.
About 3 months ago I think.
When they actually have to put in any effort in fights, they go into hibernation mode and make weak excuses of why they’re taking a break.
I heard they find effort laughable…
I run somenthing similar when I’m running boonshare. However I’m not tanky since I don’t run Wanderer and I don’t use staff (I like to play more aggressive with Greatsword) so I take stunbreakers over more utility skills (Such as the Signet of Illusions to reset the shatters after pre-fight buffing). It still can dish out enough damage to be a threat by itself despite the fact that this build is meant for groups.
Peak Performance is pretty obvious: He don’t have any Physical skill equipped to benefit of it (Rage skills aren’t Physical).
I have my guesses for the others but better let him answer those for you.
2-1-1 is no good in my opinion.
If you REALLY wanted to make a statement and get the 2nd and 3rd off their behinds you would change to 1-0-0.
2-1-1 and 1-0-0 have the same effects. Just as 3-2-2 or 100-99-99. You will always gain 1 point over the other two if you win.
The issue is that Glicko need to compare the points in the end of the week to give the rating and the chance of having a server scoring 0 can screw up comparission for ratings since the score will be infinite % higher than the one with 0.
For your information, I’ve been playing in losing servers since forever… And nothing kitten me off more than seeing that the other server rather just secure second place instead of trying for first. Now with 2-1-1, they either play for first or they lose just like the other server.
The nuances of the system are gone. It’s either win, or don’t.
And what’s exactly the problem in that?
Play against linked hype servers with an unlinked server and you see the problem.
Honestly, the only problem I see is that there is no value in being a kittenter that only fight for second. Since I’m not unto that, it does not affect me.
I doubt it’s 6000 range from top of fire keep to inner gate outside, otherwise Arrow Carts and Ballistas wouldn’t hit all the way down there.
Speaking of Ballistas this might be what you looking for https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Devastating_Shattering_Shot altho I never seen this hit for 15k and it only apply 3 stacks of bleed.
There will always be someone who will complain about a change made… Maybe they should just leave the game mode the same for 4 years so people can be happy about it.
No, wait…
Jenkar, this is 2nd grade math. there’s a huge difference between 321 and 543. You’re just being argumentative.
But, Kaatora,
The mentality, strategies, and tactics will change if those different scoring systems were in place. As the ratio between 1 and 2 is 100% and the ratio between 4 and 5 is 25%. That’s a huge difference and affects how people play.
It doesn’t change the fact that you still cannot gain more than 2 points over an adversary in a single Skirmish… You can even use 100-99-98 if you want, you’ll have the exact same results as 3-2-1.
I guess you’re the one who cannot see the “second grade math” in here.
(edited by Jeknar.6184)
How about a middle ground, say, 4-3-2, or 5-4-3?
That make no difference to 3-2-1 as it still is “1st get 1 point more than 2nd which get 1 point more than 3rd”.
The nuances of the system are gone. It’s either win, or don’t.
And what’s exactly the problem in that?
Just open BG to replace the players that transfered.
What would be the point of trying to doing all that work ( and trying to also have fun, when there is a good chance you’d probably get in 2nd place which wouldn’t matter because 2ND and 3RD PLACE HAS THE SAME POINTS!!!!!
The point is to play for 1st place and not for 2nd.
Stop trolling. This is a serious problem.
No it is not… There are much worse problems than 2,1,1 or 3,2,1 scoring. I don’t care which we have in place but if they ask me which one I choose I’ll take 2,1,1 over 3,2,1 so Winner takes all and not stupid playing for 2nd.
All I hear is BG don’t like this because you have to work harder to win.
Nah… I heard BG find effort laughable. So they don’t want to have effort to win.
Just open it and be done with it.
If people still care about winning their matchups, they will adapt. Otherwise they will just keep doing their K-train stuff on the weakest server while getting nothing instead of the 2nd place consolation prize (which also is a big bag of nothing).
Looks like a lot of people here like to fight for second… No wonder the same servers always win. “Why 2v1 the strongest server when you can just 2v1 the weakest and get consolation prize of 2nd place?” Amirite?
(edited by Jeknar.6184)
we live in an age where the team in last team still gets a trophy…
Actually this is more like “Winner take all” instead of giving a consolation prize to 2nd place.
Guys,
You can’t look at past matches and place this new scoring system on it to see what the difference is. The reason is peoples behavior and strategies will change. The behavior in past matches are based on a 321 scoring system. Strategy will be totally different in a 211 system
The “strategy” will remain the same. Blob down lesser numbers whilst running away from close-to-even fights to keep the score high. The only difference is now you’ll have a specific target (Server in 1st place) to go after it during your skirmish.
Tonics. Everyone love tonics…
No wait…
People still believe they were actually working on a majot overhaul?
This, my friend, we’ll never know.
No, EU/NA servers cannot interact with each other, not even in PvE.
We all know this ain’t hapenning anyway. They even threw away their “major WvW overhaul” to keep deliviring crumbs to us.
the poll was a joke. Of course they didn’t put up an option to get rid of the map. Anet does not want to admit their mistakes.
Oh, they didn’t gave an option to get rid of the map? Then what was that poll here?
The poll has ended! After removing all votes for “Don’t Count My Vote” the final results are:
65.5% No: The Desert Borderland map should continue to be supported.
34.5% Yes: The Desert Borderland map should be permanently disabled.This means that the Desert Borderlands map will continue to be supported. Next, the Mixed Borderlands poll will be re-run to determine how the Desert Borderlands map will re-enter play. Thank you to everyone who voted!
Keep denying it. There was a chance of voting against it and yall lost. Now you’ll have to live with it.
And here I was, thinking the goal of every game mode was to have fun….
Who the hell plays for fun?
I’d play a mesmer so you can portal yourself down cliffs that would otherwise damage your golem.
At this point I don’t think anyone here can still play a vanilla build anymore.
Why give the developers the opportunity to waste development time on YET ANOTHER thing that people didn’t ask for and don’t want?
At the moment this thread was created it mean someone DO want it. I, however, do not care about it.
To the OP: I belive the achievment points are meant to show how much you have done in the game as a whole. Sure, they could have added some achievments for the WvW ranks just as there are for PvP ranks, but that’s about it. If you want to farm AP for the rewards you should go do the achievments in their respective game modes (yes, I’m telling you to go PvE) or not get them at all.
comparing pigs to bacon
They look all the same to me.
It’s been said a million times, chase away those who are good and try to raise the skill level Of the game. You will be left but nothing but carebears resulting in The complains we see here now.
Isn’t it all we have left already?
Sometimes I wonder how amazing WvW would be if players would just play it as intended, and stop trying to metagame and exploit every little thing.
Seriously all the tonic exploiting, market manipulating, server population rigging, spy/sabotage accouts, etc. are whats killing this gamemode more than anything anet ever did.
Why can’t we just beat each other up like normal civilized people?
It’s not a particular problem with WvW players. It’s a issue in every game and mode…
Remember when you could glitch Dungeon Patches in CoE and finish all 3 without ever leaving the dungeon? Remember how people would climb a pole in Swampland to glitch Mossman unto attacking nothing?
People will always try to take the easiest route to everything. It’s human nature.
Inb4 someone says “PvE exploits are alright”.
The PPK players play ABL/EB because they’re better for PPK
Explain to me what’s the difference between DBL and ABL that affect PPK so much that “only PPT players play there”?
Yup, if you have it and the other team is all about the pvd it’s rip your bl. might as well just let em have it and you won’t have to deal with it.
Or, yknow, you could defend it. With well placed siege, it takes half the bodies that alpine requires to defend.
You telling him to go play on DBL. PREPOSTEROUS! Why would anyone do that?
/sarcasm
I’m ignoring the entire wall of text because of this stupid assumption right on start:
Anet NEVER gave us the option to NOT have that map.
Please re-read the quote in my post above yours. There WAS a vote asking if DBL should have been discontinuated or not. And DBL won.
BG don’t have enough people to man all these golems? This cannot continue! Please open Blackgate.
Players should be rewarded for checking taps!
You can repair the tapped gate and gain credit for that… It cost 2 supplies.
the last vote for that bl was hacked. it was rigged in that almost every vote included desert bl in some shape or form. there was not a vote that says keep it off. demand a revote and investigation into this matter.
the voting process was rigged. it’s not by majority when all the options are to have it included in some form. move it and call it another edge of mists map.
You problably missed the poll where they asked if the map should be removed then. Guess what option won?
The poll has ended! After removing all votes for “Don’t Count My Vote” the final results are:
65.5% No: The Desert Borderland map should continue to be supported.
34.5% Yes: The Desert Borderland map should be permanently disabled.This means that the Desert Borderlands map will continue to be supported. Next, the Mixed Borderlands poll will be re-run to determine how the Desert Borderlands map will re-enter play. Thank you to everyone who voted!
You lost and Desert Borderland is here to stay. Suck it up and stop crying…
For your complaints I’m assuming you are not a WvW player. Except for Keep capturer I have no issues with the WvW dailies and I don’t even play in a zerg.
There is no need to change the dalies as people can complete any 3 of the 12 dailies (4 of each game mode) given to them in order to get the daily reward. If you have 2 or more dailies you don’t like in WvW just go do PvP ones in a daily room or PvE ones. In fact, that’s what I do when I’m running out of time to complete the hard ones.
As far as I know Kodan share the same “skeleton” as Male Norns and have the same animations except for the dodge one, which is weird given that some emotes can still be used as Kodan such as /dance or /cry (which use the Male Norn animations aswell).
Also the dude talking about the voices… Kodan Tonics don’t hide voices. I still clearly hear other character’s lines and even my own despite the use of the Kodan Tonics. You are just trying to find somenthing to hang unto since you clearly have lost the only one that already been debuked. Sorry buddy, but you are wrong on this one too.
The desert BL is in most matches slightly less played on than the Alpine BLs. But all the BLs are much, much less played than EBG in every match-up consistently.
So really just get rid of everything except EBG.
are you mad it lags enough as it is. also not every one like to play in a lag blob fest.
I’m pretty sure it was a post just to point how silly the argument of “the map is less played than the other” is in this discussion… Like he said, following this logic, we should just get rid of all maps and play only EBG.
Also I got shot by a kodan bear rifle warrior through my guardian’s shield 5 bubble that was supposed to absorb projectile
If the warrior (or any player that shoot a projectible) have the Unblockable buff, it bypass blocks and reflections (it can still be evaded by evade skills such as Distortion). It is a game mechanic. Not a bug or exploit.
Please ask yourself:
What’s the past history on how effective have these polls been in Helping WvW?
Better than just being ignored. At least someone’s opinion will be taken in consideration.
some people like it which is ok, most don’t and voted accordingly.
Then why it won?
Clearly BG needs more people if they cannot take a 2v1.
Before we got Badges of Honor in achievement chests, the only way to get the GoB was by actively playing WvW, since you could only get Badges from playing WvW.
You could get Badges of Jumping Honor from the Jumping Puzzles in WvW. And in fact, that’s what a lot of people did… The only thing that actually forced PvE players to do WvW was when they needed map completion of all WvW maps which was removed.
