Guild Wars 2

Limodriver.4106:

Add flying and increase speed to 50% ppl will flock to this map.

Somehow I feel like when, Anet design this map. They have gliding in mind. But after design is finished they just realize wvw can’t user gliding and decided to kitten it

Sometimes there is even no queue to Desert BL on reset night.

API still showing data from last week match. only KDR is reset to this week.

Fluffball.8307:

It’s not about preventing people from running tagless. People have always, and will always do that. It’s about spending resources on something the devs don’t want to support.

It’s like me saying I think we should have a comprehensive government sponsored ad campaign to promote the use of added sugar in food. It’s not illegal to add sugar, but why would the government put resources into it?

Ok, I see where I was missing the point now. It was about dev don’t want to spend resources on it. since they don’t see this as a healthy features (I understand this point).

Still, I dont know why this can be used to exclude player who already not noticing private squad in the first place.

Fluffball.8307:

Jirayu.5834:

but those who currently run tagless now can tag up privately (visible only to squad member) and use features that need to tag up. like marker or Lt.

That’s something the devs have repeatedly said they aren’t going to spend resources on and very specifically told you why. There is nothing they aren’t understanding about the situation.

Well, can you kindly explain me why this will drive people off?

What I dont understand is ppl outside a tagless squad already cant see tag (since there is none) then how this private tag can be used to exclude people?

or this is actually by design to force ppl to tag up?

Fluffball.8307:

Jirayu.5834:

I still think dev missed the point. I dont think when ppl have private tag they will just flooded to it and stop running public tag.

But anyway, If they say so, I can’t do anything about it.

It’s hard to understand what you mean, but I think you’re saying people will still go to the public tag if people are running private tags? That only works if there is a visible tag. The dev’s point was people will simply turn the game off if they don’t see a tag up. And to be honest, even as a roamer I might do that because that means enemy zergs are running rampant.

I mean those commander who already run a public tag will continue to do it

but those who currently run tagless now can tag up privately (visible only to squad member) and use features that need to tag up. like marker or Lt.

Lawton Campbell.8517:

You’ll need an API key for each guild member to get that data from the API. I’m not sure what the game client shows.

In game, sometimes it show server when mouse-hover on member name and sometimes not. I still wonder how this works.

Anyway, You can check member homeworld in leaderboard on gw2 website as Chaba suggest

Fluffball.8307:

Jirayu.5834:

You really missed the point here.

I think you missed the point. They don’t want to spend resources on developing features that aren’t healthy for the game population. I’m sure they have no problem with guilds running tagless right now, but they don’t want to support it, and gave very good reasons why.

I still think dev missed the point. I dont think when ppl have private tag they will just flooded to it and stop running public tag.

But anyway, If they say so, I can’t do anything about it.

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

Like others have mentioned in this thread, we don’t think this would be a healthy feature for WvW. Many players will not participate in WvW if they don’t see a commander tag, and we try to avoid adding features that can be used to exclude players.

You really missed the point here.

There are ppl who already run in private group. This feature will give these ppl more benefits. And yet ppl who run pugmanding will still use public tag.

Or at least give ability to use marker in tagless group.

My Point here is when you run tagless, You lost some useful features which required a tag. like Lt. or markers. Call target on leader is not helping in many case. like when ppl call target on enemy.

It’s also a little bit harder for positioning. like call water, empower, or regroup on tag. (ppl can practice yeah, but why dont give them a little more convenient?)

And this also reduce problem like tag watcher spy from opponent server.

Maybe you can enable marker for tagless squad? maybe make the apple tag work as private tag?

It’s basically only people in squad can see tag.

Some guilds like to run only with their own people and dont want pugs. But by not tagging up they lost some ability like Lt. or using markers.

This also will make a harder job for tag watching.

Then there is a thing called “manual adjustment” happen

Resulted in Mag went to T3 last week.

Rekt

That gonna be the world’s largest salt farm.

I do wvw on rMBP 2015 w/ external monitor and it works just great. running around 20-30 fps.

Anyway, I’m running on almost-lowest settings

ps. I install Windows just for GW2

WvW Saltiness is more classy than in PvP

Actually I’m going to miss it.

Ghost thief made a lot of ppl flooded to that build. while they can’t even master it.

It actually make thief easier to kill. lol

Anet should drop a special kind of bag.

like, Heavy Bugs Bag

This reset is the most hilarious I’ve ever seen.

The win of DB over NSP a week ago is now fruitful.

QuickRain.4735:

T3:
YB: BOO, ROLL, AI (late NA—->) Unit, Khx?
NSP: trex
HoD: MAS

I think tRex already moved to another server.

Right now ANet just give different score for different objective tier.

If I understand correctly, There is no way to determine objective tier from API, right?

currently on match reset. (like latest 18:00 UTC) when you get score from API. you will able to get final score (like for a short period before match start) but all info about KDR reset to 0 like in attachment

This make it real hard to track KDR precisely.

It would be great if you can provide KDR on match reset just like final warscore

some server already becomes a cannon nut. put up a cannon every 2 metre.

since this cannon has no siege cap. and no decay.

great job anet.

I want portable nuclear silo

Jacion.6302:

I agree with this, it would further support guild invites that stick. Nothing like adding a bunch of good wvw and then delinking and realizing you need ton clean up have a dozen. (For wvw only guilds, not an issue with pvx)

That’s the point.

This will enable guild to check if guildies are on same server or not. which is very critical for some wvw guilds.

I just dont want them to be able to contest objective (except those frog/dredge/ogres which come to camp)

In your friend list, or guild member, or whatever user list. When you mouse hover on name. You normally get display name and online status

but on some name, It also show Server Name. but some are not

Why?

Can I have it to show server name on everyone? (or just in guild member)
And would be great if it shown which guild they representing (for whom not representing guild)

lol everyone hate ranger. (druid still has better situation than ranger tho) some even want ranger to be removed.

I dont know, I will just use ranger and kill them all.

yeah, core ranger is quite hard to play against new elite. I dont see many people playing core ranger nowsday (I still play core ranger even I have HoT)

Got that problem too. I died in Blue BL. But when I respawn, I ended up in Red BL

Hi guys.

I’m currently running GW2 on rMBP 2015 (on Windows). You know, It’s not kinda gaming machine.

Now I’m thinking about assemble a new Desktop PC. but I really have no idea about spec and price (last time I assemble a PC. The best graphic card was still AGP)

My goal is to run GW2 at high settings (prolly with reshade thingy?) at 1080p at 60 fps. And able to record game with Windows 10 Game DVR at High Quality 60fps.

or 30fps will be just fine. if 60fps is not gonna be cheap :|

Can anyone suggest the spec for me please? I want it as cheapest as possible (exclude monitor)

My room temperature is normally around 30c

Thank you very much

Team chat across map is what I’ve been waiting for since I start playing wvw.

anyway, It’s really confusing since most people just use /team for every chat.

I mean, I saw guys saying Hills is under attack. I rushed into Hills and figured it out: oh, he was on another bl.

I think you should tag each team message which map it cames from. prolly just a letter like R = Red BL, G = Green BL, B = Blue BL, E = Eternal Battleground. like this

[G] xxxx: hello
[E] yyyy: hai

That looks great!

Anyway, I’d suggest to add skirmish start/end (or just one) into each skirmish. I know I can calculate time at my end. but I ‘d love to see it comes with API. (TBH, I’m too lazy to calculate it myself.)

I live in SEA

Got dc’d a lot

Oxylus.7985:

Interested in this as well. I guess we can drive victory points by calculating the winners ourselves on the same time period, but I fear this is racy on close skirmishes (i.e. clock synch problem). Best would be if Anet provided the authoritative VPs directly.

If we are going to calculate v score ourself, we gonna need to scrap API every 2 hours to calculate the different score between each skirmish. Since API still returning only total war score.

Yeah anet need to implement this into API. Give us data about v score and skirmish war score alongside with total war score

I’m writing a web app that will log wvw score and automatically create a weekly report (just for fun) but since Anet is going to implement Skirmishing to wvw which will have another “Victory Score” in the data.

I’ve checked wiki for API respond. it still return only War Score and say nothing about victory score.

Will the API update to support this? Can I have sample data? so I can start implementing it and make it work by reset.

Thank you.

Xenesis.6389:

Gonna ask them to turn off dropping off bags from kills to? cause seriously, getting loot off a reward track ain’t no different than getting it dropped from a player or lord.

They just need to let us pick the one default track we would like and leave it at that, no need for queue orders. If you can’t be bothered to check your track every once in a while to switch, or don’t want nothing to do with the track just let your bags fill up and don’t bother to empty them till the end of your run.

oh man, you can actually disable bag dropping by just disable auto loot.

and let you pick a default track is no different than what I proposed.

It’s actually JQ and SBI that do blobbing a lot. most of our time in SoS/NSP, we usually have only about 20 ppl in squad. And sometimes this squad gotta hold things from both JQ and SBI.

Oh please in OCX time you have the biggest blob across all 3 servers.

SoS’s ocx blob is not even match the size of JQ’s

And in SEA time, SoS can barely gather ppl. While JQ has at least 2 blobs

Don’t be deluded please, I remember very clearly both SOS and JQ ganged our borderland exactly at the same time during ytd’s ocx. Also, SOS blob obviously larger than JQ at that time. Funny thing is, JQ zerg eat away some of your tail while your commander let it be.

SOS also had a blob during 5pm (EST) ytd, I believe is near map queue size.

Around that time, i think it actually nsp. And yes i accepted. Nsp has blob that time. Nsp has some eu player

But tbh, only time that sos has queue is around daily reset. I think it’s around 7-10pm

If that ganged thing you were saying was around 11am-1pm. (or somewhere around late sea time) That sos took hills while you were fighting jq in garri. I can say that we have about 10 in squad. And after jq took garri. They rolld on us too.

Nope, I am talking about OCX, before SEA start logging on. JQ and SOS attacked our BL exactly at the same time, JQ will be in bay, SOS will be in Hill. I remember we took bay back and JQ was late and got shut in inner, so we can see the red dots, confirmed with visual as well. Then SOS attack south bay, we can also see red dots of SOS. At that time, JQ and SOS, side by side, red dots estimation, SOS was bigger. Base on visual, even with the small tail JQ cut off earlier, SOS still was bigger.

I have no idea about that. but if you say so. I think that’s it

Of course it is, I’m in sox. We may have more than 1 group but each separate group is usually smaller than SoSs. Of course if you’re talking late ocx we get sea logging in so our numbers grow.

I think it’s maybe late ocx that i was talking about. Since it was when i online and start seeing my PA guildies prepping to roll too.

Since Gift of Battle became a reward track. After I finished any track, It always auto switch to Gift of Battle track. And now I got some junk Gift of Battle already.

Yeah this is also applies to other tracks.

Can we have a small checkbox on each track to enable/disable them from being in rotation please?

Thank you.

Mystic Moon Maiden.3786:

Fighting JQ is nothing but a nightmare. They run nothing but a blob. I don’t think I’ve seen but one individual running solo and no small havocs. They do nothing but PPT. When did PPT become such a big deal?

As for SOS, they are just as bad as JQ and let’s throw MAG in as well. Blob, blob, blob…WvW has stopped being fun when we can’t even defend the things we have because of the blobs.

CD and HOD have both been great partners for SBI, but I’m thinking at this juncture, SBI needs matched up with HOD, CD and all 3 of CD’s matchups to even start to have a fair chance at staying afloat in this sea of crap Anet has force us into.

It’s actually JQ and SBI that do blobbing a lot. most of our time in SoS/NSP, we usually have only about 20 ppl in squad. And sometimes this squad gotta hold things from both JQ and SBI.

and TBH, SoS/NSP also suffer from SEA time too. JQ has a lot more ppl around that timezone.

also, I think HoD has some SEA guild too, since they beat a lot of NSP/SF in past few week in SEA time.

dzeRnumbrd.6129:

misterman.1530:

The worst pairing is JQ fighting anyone else in our tier (NSP or HoD). They outnumber us constantly. At first, the fights were fun. Not so much. The week is barely 3 days old and it’s already tedious.

JQ actually having fun?

I would love to meet the person at Anet that thought this pairing/matchup was in any way sane.

Nope, I wouldn’t say we’re having much fun.

I think we are trying to steam roll you guys so we can get our glicko higher to avoid the random delta matchup happening again. You guys keep fighting back though, it’s like you want this match up to happen next week

Would you kindly log off and let us tick for max points?

Apart from making 30 bags per hour, I can’t wait to leave tier 3.

I feel sorry for you guys facing us because we not only do we have better numbers but we also run builds suitable for T1 engagements (more toughness).

Get everyone on your servers to equip soldiers armour except for a few glass cannon eles/necros and we’d probably be having some decent zerg fights.

You guys need to use proper blob builds rather than the hybrid roamer/medium group builds many of you are running.

This is of course a generalisation and some of your players are running proper builds.

and yet, JQ still got beat to death in prime time.

dzeRnumbrd.6129:

Having said that, I would argue that in SEA TZ we regularly have many roaming JQ players. We even had complaints on map chat there SoS/SBI didn’t have enough roamers for our roamers to fight – so there are two sides to that one. Maybe you’re playing in the NA TZ?

And for this I totally agree. JQ really strong in SEA time zone. SoS have ppl around this time too but still no match.

dzeRnumbrd.6129:

1. We attack SoS keep, they defend, they wipe easily, we take their keep.

JQ stuck at SoS keep for hours to take it. and yet SoS has to defend keep from JQ and SBI at the same time.

But TBH. I really like that JQ always has scout everywhere. I always encounter JQ scout all the time (yep, JQ got impressive fast respond). This is what other server are kinda lack off.

I notice that too. less lag than Desert BL somehow.

maybe it’s because of the map itself, or it comes just in time my internet got better.

sometimes It’s just hard to decide if they are dueling or not.

I’m a ranger, so I can just sit there to see if he need help, or point blank shot the enemy if he try to finish our ally.
