Guild Wars 2

Great idea… sad that Anet is ignoring this forum and community…

I quit the game due to WvW changes… It was the only aspect that I loved and they ruined it… Now I see that they are ignoring community( They even delete FB posts about some words from devs regarding WvW problems!)… And then they are surprised why exp isn’t going out as much as it should… Wehn those maps were in beta we told them countless times that it is kitten and shouldn’t be changed, but they still didn’t change their minds… ehhhh, but basically I’m happy that I quit the game, have time for other mmos, that are over better now, after HoT’s release… mmos like: WoW, BD, Skyforge, EC, CU. And they are all in beta state, but still better than live version of current GW2… I will just pass and wait for GW3… If they don’t run out of money till then…

Looks like u misunderstand what I was talking about. It isn’t about giving me a free content. It is included in expansion and I’m with it. The point is that ppl actually discriminate those without HoT efpansion and it is viable in fractals partys when ppl kick u for not having masteries that boost potions or influence u with bonus AR. I’m not talking about 50+ cos it is sure that u need new conent for new fractals levels, but about 1-50 where u get kicked for not having exp. conent while playing core content.

Wasabi Kitty.8247:

Before the update you could do fractals up to level 50. After the update you can do fractals up to level 50. You lost absolutely nothing, the expansion only added new levels past 50. Hell you can probably do up to 60/70 without the expansion. You have lost absolutely nothing. The expansion only added new content past level 50 which you are not entitled to if you did not purchase the expansion. You can still do everything you could before the expansion, and more.

And I call complete bullkitten on you getting kicked from fractals for not having mastery. Especially on the first day of release. Most people won’t have fractal mastery unlocked, even if they own the expansion. Most likely you were kicked for being annoying/bad and tried to blame it on mastery. Either that or you’re just completely making it up. Just like how so many necro/rangers on the forums are “constantly” kicked from groups for their class, yet most necro/rangers I know have had it happen maybe 2 or 3 times total.

… I have 50 Tyria points to spend but no expansion, so yeah ppl actually have masteries! And they kittening kick player for not having it, next time I will do screens to show it, but not td, work awaits, just wanted to post bout it and check out how this develop when I come back. And I didn’t mean 50+ mostly, cos thsi happens UNDER 50 lvl too. And to add I’m not lying, this is the fact taht happens, and it will develop even further as ppl stop playing HoT content and come back to fractals they will realise taht hey can have good set-up with mastery ppl in a place of some guys that bought core game and were expecting to play a content thay paid for!

XYLUM.7286:

I wish I could get a refund on the expansion… just a FYI

The game has been changed in so many ways that are negative to me, and go against my preferred play style, not to mention the fact that most of the content I enjoy has been nerfed into the ground and all but ruined.

I am seriously hunting for a new game..

Black Desert coming out soon Camelot Unchained too, same goes for Eternal Crusade so… plenty of mmos to play in 2016

ReaverKane.7598:

In case you didn’t notice, Guildwars 2 is a BUY to play game. If you don’t want to buy then its a trial.
If you bought core and don’t want to buy the expansion, then you play core (as in fractals up to 50).
And if you’re the kind of guy that even AFTER launch you don’t know what the expansion content is, then maybe you’re being kicked out of the parties for a few other reasons not due to having or not masteries unlocked.

The point is that they kick me even under 50 cos of no masteries and yes I bought core game and expect to be able to play even core game. And no, the only reason they always write is " no masteries" or something similar. Dude I have 15k ap, play fractals for almost 3 ywars( since 1. release with karka event). So I guess that I’m not a noob that can get kicked for bad gameplay Ahhh and I know what exp’s content is – look up

Ok, so let’s begin the hate
1. of all what i mean with topic. It is simple, to play high lvl fractals u need HoT.
2. Why?
> “You’ll also gain access to Mystic Forge recipes for adding extra agony infusion slots to ascended rings”, without it ur agony is lower than ppl that bought HoT and extra infused rings. In result ppl kick u, cos u can’t get higher AR without training mastery i.e. without buying HoT.
> “Mist potions will give bonus attributes.” and “Research how to activate the lifesaving Mistlock Singularities within the Fractals of the Mists. Fractal potion conversion improves.” Same as previous one, no better potion = kick, cos u can’t do as much as ppl with HoT.
To sum up point 2, no masteries = no HoT exp. bought => KICK from party and low lvl fractals, where u can also get kicked( happened twice to me already, when they just realised that I didn’t have mastery unlocked). Seriously Anet DO SOMETHING, cos as it is now I can’t play what I paid for.
3. Lucky legendary backpack is still something that not many if any ppl have so I can’t get kicked for not having it, but i guess it is just matter of time
4. I know u will type something like: " Find a guild"… I already have 4 guilds which are wvw and community guilds, but I dont think there is a 1 that will inv me for fractal runs only, expecially without mastery unlocked( yes I looked for some, got whispers like: “DO u have HoT?” – it was kittening 1. question!). But if I’m wrong, just give me name of such guild and I would join
5. I forgot to mention( cos someone will definitly post bout it), I’m not going to buy kittening HoT! Why? Ohhhh there is plenty of reasons but most important is taht it isn’t expansion, it is just a huge patch that isn’t worth 50$, max 15$ or even less. 1 class, 1 map, guild hall and some cosmetic changes, GLIDER! – looks totally like AA ahhh I forgot + p2w/p2p mastery system for fractals Is it all? Yeah! And where is raid? It is missing in action

Lacrisma.1540:

“Sir, after three years of ignoring them and luring AP hunters into their gamemode, the WvW community still hasn’t died down!”

“But… we gave them the Stability change, how are they even still playing? I mean, they crash at least every two hours and have massive queues on their map, how is that possible?”

“We don’t know, sir. What should we do?”

“… do it.”

“No.. you can’t… this is.. are you sure?”

“UNLEASH THE PVE BORDERLANDS!”

….
….
….

“They are not happy with the new borderlands and the EBG changes, but they still seem to hang on to WvW!”

“But the verticality! The dinosaurs! The mechanics that kitten on everything WvW! How can this be?! We even denied the existence of WvW players!”

“If I may… There is still one thing”

“What is it?”

“Reset. They still have the reset to be excited for.”

“…ruin it. Now.”

“With your permission we’d change it to saturday. This would double the queue. With this, we could also rub salt in the “this gives us more time to look into WvW problems”wound"

“You can do better.”

“Let’s change it to noon for EU players then, no drunk reset and they will be disconnected when leaving for lunch, facing at least a queue of 100 when they come back.”

“Good. Come back when you’re done, we need to talk about your promotion.”

“Sir, there are tons of hate towards us at forum! They even made a pool(http://strawpoll.me/5736600/r) and the results for friday option are raising!”

“Tell all our staff to vote for saturday and pretend that we don’t see the waves of hate. Also don’t forget to ban those that are against us!”

PariahX.6970:

Kasteros.9847:

The pool tells everything… http://strawpoll.me/5736600/r . I think that only anet team vote for satuday option

If ANET’s team was that big 150+ then maybe we could get some real WvW changes with substance.

Given that ANET believes they have a legitimate solid reason for wanting reset time to be something other than Friday maybe a different poll is in order. I don’t have a problem with reset as it is but if it can’t be that, then what is the “best” time and how are they suppose to go about figuring that out in a 24/7 game with players from all over the world? Obviously whatever this method is isn’t going so well right now.

Ye, but u know, putting it at 12:00 satuday is reaaaaaaaaly bad idea and making maybe 10% of current players able to play. Why? Job, school, house stuff, shopping, familly, basicially social and real life. It was fine with current system so WHy are they changing it? To lower lags during reset and be able to put patch during 20 cest eu time( cos ofcourse they couldn’t put patch 30 mins before reset ). Idk how big anet team is, but I guess it isn;t 20 ppl or so, just look at their office and try to calculate how many ppl is needed( for example Witcher 3 which is single player had 150+ so…)

The pool tells everything… http://strawpoll.me/5736600/r . I think that only anet team vote for satuday option

Moon.7310:

Reset on Saturday morning? I am sorry, but who the heck thought this to be a good idea?

If it was evening I could at least partly unerstand, but mornings almost no one I know is even playing since people are busy with something called real life.

Exactly, that is why they made it! Why? Cos of less stress on servers. Cos why to get better servers? Better to lower players capacity at specific houers and lower lag at reset as result

neven.3785:

I do not see this change affecting much of the people i play with. Guilds will still rally their roughly same times, they will still go out and fight generally the same opponents, whether its open field, objective skirmishes, pvdoor, havoc or roaming. It seems to me that most of these naysayers are from guilds who play wvw for the score only, rather than really appreciate the sandbox of playstyles wvw can be.

First off, i hated the time of reset as it was, it was too EARLY for me still. I am a PST player, with a family, i got dinner to make/eat, kids to put to bed, then gaming time for my wife and I. So the 6pst time was an inconvienience because it was still attainable to attend at reset. The way i see it now, who cares if i dont make reset, i will log in and play on roughly the same schedule i always had. More people need to realize that reset being the time it was only generated massive queues and frustration. With it being earlier, queues wont be as bad on reset night, gives a chance for them to normalize and not be false queues.

Now im sure if you fall into that guild category i pidgeonholed as being the majority of those who think its a horrible idea, then im positive you will retort with “BUT THE QUEUES WILL BE HUGE.” Here is the solution. DESTACK. Your NA presence is too big. Your massive guilds shouldnt rely on the boon of a reset time to actually get your whole guild in a map at once, you should be able to feel the drawback of overstacking both guild and server wise.

For years, every tier except tier 1 was asking for anet to think of innovative ways to entice players out of the top tier. Perhaps denying their NA players the oppurtunity on a PPT jump start and desyncing their guild raid start times on reset AND making them fight the EU players playing late for queue space that night will do it. Im pretty sure that most of the complainers whining about quitting over this will still log on saturday and play on with their ppt addiction regardless.

Just to put my opinion in context to my playstyle: solo/duo roaming, Havoc (on active maps, more about breaking objectives than PPT), HomeBL defense/upgrading, and open field fighting (15-25v???). The only styles i really cant stand are blob v blob and k-training.

Still u miss some fact. A lot ppl in this game play only during resets, cos they are fun with biggest rate of fights. Also there is everything wooden so u don’t have to siege something for houers. And with 12 cest it is too early for almost everyone who have social life, familly or just want to eat dinner( u need at last 1h to do it and typical time for dinner is 13 cest ) but also ppl have jobs , school, they even need to shop during saturday. So as I see it , this change won’t benefit anyone, but only roamers, that now will be able to cap wooden stuff. And ofcourse anet, cos : less players = less lag = less stress on servers

Diku.2546:

Kaiser.9873:

How about this John, “Due to the overwhelming response to our announcement of the reset time change we have decided to put the change on hold until we can gather more data. Reset will return to Fridays as usual on Friday, October 30th. This allows us one Saturday reset to check our metrics, and to decide if Saturday reset is still something we want to follow through with.”

Awesome solution!!!

Ye it is, but do u not see what they(Anet) want to accomplish? They want to minimalise reset lags by cutting down number of players at resets. Ye, it is TRUTH

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Good that I didn’t buy expansion! U just screwed it up. Why? Ok, 1. of all during 12 CEST Saturday a lot of ppl is: sleeping, working( YES, for example in Poland we work at Saturday – about 40% of our population), cleaning house, making stuff in home, even making dinner – IT is f***** 12 CEST, Ppl eat dinner around 13:00 so yeah u need to cook it earlier. Also a lot of ppl is SHOPPING when they get a free day from job / school / uniwersity. For example me, from 8:00 to 20:00 I go to job every second saturday and the other ones are reserved for shopping. Just WTH are u doing Anet?! Ohhhh I know, U want to minimalise lags by letting only 10% of WvW players or less join WvW and don’t make lags. Gj guys best sollution so far! And when I was about ot buy HoT u give me such information Hope a lot of ppl will stop trusting u now and cancel their preorders

Also DCs during game but it may be caused by lag in WvW

Hello,

Today( after a week since update) I found a bug with a game and win 10.
1. of all why win10? Nothing happen at my 2. pc with almost same specification( the only thing is more RAM memory) and win 8.1
So I was about to launch a game and launcher pooped up normally, no problem here, then wehn I clicked PLAY the game freez at black screen! No character selection, just nothing. I was about to turn it off via process but then it closed and error occured: Guild Wars 2 stopped working, do u want to search in web for a sollution? Or something like that – translation from polish xD So i just accepted it and wanted to run a game again BUT when I doubleclicked gw2 icon all I saw was launcher up on my tool bar and nothing on the screen. After 5 mins all that appeared was black screen in a place of launcher. I think it may be caused by some compatibility with win10 and newest patch. The only way to access game for me is to reboot pc and start again with hope this time characters( and the game) load.

ps. I know my English is poor, not native speaker here, but I believe that u can understand what I wrote.

So I’m not good with swapping times so what is time of “tournament” for EU? 00:00 to 03:00 in CEST?

Hello,

I got invintation to a new test of desert borderland, but the point is that 1. PTT client is installing on my OS disc( I couldn’t change destination) and 2. It is updating overlong. I have 120 Mb/s and still it is downloading client with speed of 4 KB/s atm it is about 17 MB and I’m downloading it for over 1h. Can I do something to speed it up?

Ok figured out one thing, if u move the .exe to the drive you want to install it on, it will download the data on that drive. Smal tip, create an folder and drop the .exe in that folder so it will not mess up your main folder.
Still download is at 2 kb.

Ke, thought so but I got 30 MB of content so… wasn’t worth to swap :P

Great Thx for answer and it looks like anet is still kittening their players ^^ and thinking of em as cows that blindly bring em money ^^ sorry guys, it is truth that probably every normal player found out over 2 years ago

But didn’t you make this thread because you WANT the white wings? What is this, an illustrated guide to cognitive dissonance?

Ye, but also the question is sarcasm towards anet ^^ for doing such stuff once again( after they claimed taht they won’t so something like this, expecially during holidays ^^)

Great Thx for answer and it looks like anet is still kittening their players ^^ and thinking of em as cows that blindly bring em money ^^ sorry guys, it is truth that probably every normal player found out over 2 years ago

So… I was on holidays when it started raining so I turned on gw2.com to chekc out about patch and what I saw were white wings that tbh are much better than black ones( they aren;t moving at all!), but ofcourse I couldn’t buy em, cos there is no way to buy it without getting into game. S here is my question WHEN are they comming back? – tbh it is kittening kittenty that u put 24h only offer during holidays time when ppl are going out of home for pretty long time AND as i remember u wrote 2 years ago that u will never do such a thing, cos of Ancient karka event kitten.) GG Anet GG – also new specs sucks

So I was checking internet with " HoT pre-purchase reaction" and found this… xD I must say that it is perfect since HoT gives almost nothing…

They have not released all their information yet. The picture is nothing more than speculation.

Well not realy. They released almost everything( what is left are some maps and nothing more I think at last from what tehy promised to add in this exp.). And thsi image was about compare of basic game’s content and expansion’s content while both are set – up with same price(50$).

So I was checking internet with " HoT pre-purchase reaction" and found this… xD I must say that it is perfect since HoT gives almost nothing…

Emmm I bet 32. June!

Actually ppl are raging cos HoT isn’t worth 50$. What does HoT( the 1 to buy) gives u:
- 3-5 pve maps
- 1 new class
- GH
- lore
- HoT masteries( i.e glidders)
- 1 new crafting discipline supposed ot be working with guild only
And now let’s get back in time to GW2 and what it offered:
- 20+ maps
- 8 class
- a lot of lore
- 8 crafting disciplines
- 5 character slots
- 7 dungs
- FoTM
- and much more
Now u see the driffrence in content. Still worth it to pay 50$ for about 1/20 of basic game that was set up at price of 50$ too? I don’t think so. The whole thing is about content of expanion not worth a kittening 50$( for such price u can buy 2 new games OR buy all exps[ including newest] for SWTOR and have 6x more content to have fun with. And that is the point! Even if they are including gvg still not gonan buy it for such price, expecially if they aren’t going ot reveal how huge the arena is and how many players form enemy guild will be able to join.

ps. Did u really believe that they gave basic game for free to xpac purchase?

According to the guy that was talking during PCGamer show we will be able to brawl against other guilds at guild hall’s arena! AND declare war against other guild to fight em at WvW( also call zeppelin to bombard point – WTF?!)

1. reddit count 3 years ago was like that 110 green , 100 blue, 90 red side. Dunno if it was fixed to balance it out. Yet 2 months ago to remove lag cap was downed by 10% and then addctional 10% of remaining cap so now it is like 70-80 max. Just look how many guilds can join now(2-3) and back in 2014(4-5). Also there is al ot of speculations that siege take spots, but ofcourse Anet don’t want to share any info with us

Just record it, show ur combat log when this invisible guy hit u, note hour, map’s ip and any valuable info u think will be helpfull with localizating this hacker then send video to anet stuff and he will get banned soon.

Junkpile.7439:

To be fair EU gvg guilds can’t even wipe EotM upscaled karma train so it really isn’t big deal win against some random guilds.

Emmm…GvG hater detected, GvG hater detected! Actually OP wrote about guild groups not GvG guilds. As guild group he could even mean guilds like PT or TT that aren’t even gvging, but they play as guild…

ohh and btw. gr8 b8 m8 I r8 8/8 no h8.

If someone wants alert bubbles, the commander can just have this copied prepared to paste, or other ways can be done, to “/say Commander Down”, and by default people around will see a nice chat bubble over the commander, or whatever message you desire to use often and wouldn’t have time to type out.

Yeap, or just set up kboard / mouse macro with /say command and bah, amazing alert bubble.

Emmm…Actually ts3 is used by every top tier WvW player that want to follow commander and win, otherwise he is garbadge and slot holder that don’t support commander and can’t even call where he is downed to banner him up.

snip

So if you aren’t a mindless zergling then you should be harassed, trolled, called garbage, and ostracized for being on a map, right? I’m sorry, but I hate that mentality, it’s abusive and ignores the real effect of havoc/roamers, while saying only the zerg matters.

…ekhem “Want to follow commander”…

And what are you actually trying to say then?

Look up…It was answer to OP about importance of ts3 and how is this much better than the stuff he suggested… On the other hand u wrote about roamers etc. not supporting server bla bla bla but u missed the place where I wrote that ppl who follow comm should join ts3 not some roamers cos they hae their own party / ts. Once again the whole thing was about importance of ts3 and how is it better than “alert bubbles”.

‘Yeah so u basically want to same guild guys play against eachother in matchups cos of RNG and spy for each other ^^ ’
-like it can’t be done right now? Anyways it’s not a private match. stacked guilds can lopside any non-private match.

Actually I was typing about ppl who want to play with their guildmates( not some multi server guilds…). If RNG get into action it will be like with EoTM taxi ppl into other maps, but they won’t be able to do so cos it will be limited with spots…and once again spying and trolling will be even greater :P

‘Actually I have simple sollution. Leave it as it is. ’
-That is not a solution. Thats just like turning your head around and pretending its not happening.
Your other solutions require self (players) balancing and that isn’t going reliably self fix itself. And there are other problems with those ‘balancing solutions’ (not going to get wound up in those right now). And by not many problems, do you mean anet and .1 % of players not wanting to do it are the only problems with those solution, because i don’t see you mention any problems with those ‘solutions’.

Nah, u just asked for other sollutions so I gave u a few.

‘Yeah and kill all enemy with 3-4 wipes and win without any problems. Such amazing idea…Or just all play thief and camp for each other to take him out of WvW and ruin his fun….Maybe let’s set same for pve? U die once and u won’t be able to play it anymore till next week. U know at WvW u clash pretty many times with enemy group and die a lot of times so yeah it would be nice to cut off enemy few times by op guilds( like NB, dF, vE, aX aaaaand much more) that are much better than pug zerg / blob and bah, win without any problems.’
-Its a quick game as mentioned. With harsher consequences. Might be too hardcore for some though. It’s quick so you wont have to wait a week. But while you’re dead you can just spectate how others in your team are doing and sit back a little and watch the action while you wait…and if your team’s good, it wont be long.

Ye so it should be 10 min matches or less, cos if u maybe don’t know a lot of ppl play WvW for 3h+ and spectating won’t be good tho. Even pvp don’t have such rule U just want to take away fun from ppl and force them to sit duck out of combat to not get killed lol. Ohh and they will just do it, sit back behinde siege and w8 till enemy come, but enemy will do same and everyone will just sit and camp without engaging and waiting for enemy that won’t come… Yeah! It will bring much more ppl to WvW and totally won’t kill this gamemode…

Problem with languages is still staying aswell, cos u didn’t write down any good sollution. Or maybe u did – I wrote u up there why previous 1 isn’t option.

Ehhhh just get to Earth and think again about this idea, cos I gave a lot of reasons why this doesn’t have rights to exist.

GreyWraith.8394:

I’m not a military expert, but don’t sergeants to the immediate short-term directing with officers handling the longer range planning?

Appoint a sergeant to serve as zerg pin and take directions from the commander. If he goes down, the commander can take immediate control till the sergeant is back.

The point is that comm must go in and fight aswell to know how long zerg can stay in 1 place. Also do u really think that during such fast fights u have time to send commends to someone who repeat them in almost no time? Usually guild zergs have 2 commanders, but for pugs it is not such simple. There is a few leader that are commanding good and willing to lead pugs. And the major problem is that when comm die whole zerg is losing it’s head and split everywhere.

So yeah comm need some buff and 3. option is best, but the problem is abuse of it. Let’s say that some players join 1 comm that is main and MT leader and some 2. comm that is Thief and FP leader, then he will be almost godlike and unkillable while jumping on backliners to kill them.

Well if Anet don’t make anything a lot of good comms will just quit leading – it is happening already tho and they will just join some gvg guild that play against enemy zerg without targetting leader.

Zahld.4956:

-have a gvg type of wvw like a custom wvw.

Ye, but Anet said clearly that they won’t support it

-mentioned that it is not server attached so servers don’t decide whos on what team.

Yeah so u basically want to same guild guys play against eachother in matchups cos of RNG and spy for each other ^^

-server buffs are sort of the reward for each wvw match aside from rank, title and whatever else.

Such amazing rewards!

-regional matching for different languages.

So…for example 20 French players join blue and whole English speaking Green so still outnumbering or empty borderlands for English speaking players due to balancing 20 English speaking against 20 French speaking; If u mean regional so French vs French vs French then how are u gonna put Spanish players? THey have 1 server atm so they will fight against each other in 20 v 20 v 20? Cos they might not be able to bring more ppl into WvW with their language. No way to solve it unless anet makes every server English speaking and put English only(at WvW) in chat box. Also earlier u wrote about no server attachement so how are ppl from Fr will be able to play with English speaking if u want regional matchmaking? They will have to turn special option? Ye this might work, but still won’t fix unbalance by language.

-if you want to auto-balance then you have to work with new things or problems…unless you have another solution to improve player population balance…

Actually I have simple sollution. Leave it as it is. Actually Bronze is heaven for roamers, Silver for zergs and Gold for blobs. If u want to play some of those styles just go to specific league. Simple ^^

Or allow free transfer to silver and bronze servers. Then anet will be able to check out if ppl want balance. It is ppl mentality that they want to bandwagon 1 server and win without problems – like sfr’s players that just blob and with new stabil system win almost every fight by numbers and spam of ccs. It is funny tho that all speak about balancing it out, but if anet give opportunity to do so with free transfer probably no1 will swap from gold servers

Another sollution is to set-up server population by WvW active players not pvers and then it will give clear image of situation and merge servers. Ever simplier

Or other sollution. Make GvG arena and all guilds will go there then it will balance out cos of only 20% of WvW players left to play this gamemode ^^

As u see there is a lot of ways to balance out WvW without many problems, but Anet and players( except maybe 0,1% or even less) don’t want to do it

Zahld.4956:

oh also have some more quicker matches where conquest points are permanent (maybe tougher to do so) and are non reverse-able. or only reverse-able once within an allotted time and deaths are permanent within a match (or only one resurrection is allowed).

Yeah and kill all enemy with 3-4 wipes and win without any problems. Such amazing idea…Or just all play thief and camp for each other to take him out of WvW and ruin his fun….Maybe let’s set same for pve? U die once and u won’t be able to play it anymore till next week. U know at WvW u clash pretty many times with enemy group and die a lot of times so yeah it would be nice to cut off enemy few times by op guilds( like NB, dF, vE, aX aaaaand much more) that are much better than pug zerg / blob and bah, win without any problems.

ts may be quicker but its more of a hard core player kind of thing really and doesn’t have a wide audience. a few quick and easy important alert signals will do (at least for now). Its wvw, remove any unnecessary pve GUIs and put them there. when quickly and easily selected, it pops up on top of their heads like chat bubbles maybe flashing and alerting to be more noticeable would be good. Maybe some auditory dialog to make it even more attention grabbing. might even be more effective than people trying to scream things on ts.

Emmm…Actually ts3 is used by every top tier WvW player that want to follow commander and win, otherwise he is garbadge and slot holder that don’t support commander and can’t even call where he is downed to banner him up.

Also u have something like those “icons” it is called macro with /say commend. Just set it up and u will have floating message above ur head with “retreat”, “downed here” info, but as i wrote no1 give a kitten about chat and in fights listen to ts3.

Which part of interface is pve like and can be replaced with those “icons”?

Ohh hand did u consider how the battle will look with every players alerting something? Cos I know, u won’t see a single commend cos of a lot of floating stuff at top of players who stay stick to comm and mt. Same goes for backline. In otehr words whole battle will be covered with those alerts and u won’t be able to see enemy :P

Wrong place to post it, better go to https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2 and post there, cos devs avoid WvW subforum as much as possible Also we wait ages for a lot of fixes like stucking in a wall and still…nothing so this might get fixed in 2020 or something like that

Zahld.4956:

well if it was in the game, then more people could do it and you wouldn’t need 3rd part apps or ts to play as a team.

Nah, ts3 is way faster than any typing / clicking cos u basically do it without delay and time spend to find correct commend. Also u wrote “icons” where would they be? At top? At right? It needs a lot of interface changes and will make comm see less so again no point ot implement something like this. And getting back to ts3 every good comm lead with this, cos it is easier, faster and u save a lot of time when u want to speak instead of staying and typing / clicking some “icons”.

Zahld.4956:

have a new WvW that is not attached to servers, where teams are auto-balanced for joining players after a period of time after a match starts. rewards would go to individuals instead of servers.

U have plenty of same ideas. All of them have few major problems:

• Server loyalty
• Spying
• No way to play with guilds / friends unless u will wait a lot of time till side of ur guildmates will be lowest
• Rewards? U don’t have any rewards at WvW
• Language problems in EU
• And much more

DarkSyze.8627:

I finally research: 2-3 years: a lot of player who want change for good: effort, hard-work= reward were punished also. I wish i investigated earlier and never play this game at all with a company who only want bad things for their games and punish any thing that want good for it.

Did i quit? No! When Arena net appreciate players who want good change and remove all of their infractions and make serious change to the game: i will play again and take seriously.

( My last punishment is coming: I took risk- only want good things for game. I will always continue to believe hard-work, effort and risk come first before reward and fun-. go to where they are. So it is ok, This will be my last post: take care players, it was good/bad experience- advice and i learned a lot and still learning. Take care all players )

+1 +1 +1!

I totally, totally feel ur pain bro.

• No rewards for ppting except 1-3 silver and 300 karma…wow.
• No rewards for winning and position u take at the end of week.
• No support from Anet for Roamers
• No support from Anet for GvGers
• No support from Anet for PPTers
• No new WvW content in last 3 years except WvW lvls( EoTM NOPE it is pve map now)
• No WvW tournaments for last 8 months( pvp get 1 every 3 months)
• Ktrains with pve commanders
• Lowering spots for WvW
• Lags, dcs, bugs etc.
• Hackers / Cheaters
• Verbal abusing players every single time for not playing ppt or some other reason

So many reasons to quit this gamemode already. And yet u ppl still play it. Just answer me…Why? Why are u supporting company that don’t care about u? Why?

I’m adressing it to u ppl cos I just simply quit WvW almost 3 years ago. Atm. I only GvG and join for raids with my guild only cos there is no other point to play it.

Ye I’m QQing here, cos I finally saw posts of people that can think and realised what is going on here and I hope that Anet will finally make a move! But my hope is small cos they basically don’t care about this subforum and WvW. From where is my conclusion? Just look into it:

> During last 3 months they answered in 6 posts! And we created about 300 during this time. Last activity was 7 days ago, and previous over a month ago. What?!
> When we find WvW related bug devs answer after 1-2 weeks? Or something…How long did it take for them to take care about WvW lag and put a post at forum? Whole 2 years to even realise it, and then when it got really bad they told it was due to pvp stuff…For real? And even now when we have lags due to server’s performance the reply is: “It must be ur internet connection or pc performance, our servers are fine”. For real guys?!
> Now, hacker appeared, how long it took to take care of him? over a week? With video and nick spoted? ><
> Back to bugs what about all those that are left? Stucking in the air? Getting fall dmg out of nowhere? Stucking in wall? Those are 3 years old bugs still not fixed!
> What about population inbalance? They just ignore it and don’t try to fix it!
> What about WvW releated stuff? We got nothing during last 3 years( 4 colors for tag?! Eotm i.e. pve ktrain?! Wxp lvls that now will be worth nothing after removing of stacks?!). And what pve got? New maps, new bosses, new events, rewards, stuff to do like story lines, a lot of achivs and muuuuch more. They are even forcing us to play pve with exp cos of new skill point( hero point) system! QQ
> All players ideas of improving WvW are ignored and not even answered( even simply “no way to implement it” would be good.)

Ehhh…Idk Anet u don’t have enough ppl to cover communicating with players? Maybe time to hire few guys to keep it up. U earned a lot and u are earning a lot of money, but remember that players are giving u $$ so better take care of them.

I really, really, really wanted to buy HoT and play WvW, but after what I suffered at forum and saw here I’m not really gonna pay a single $ for stuff that isn’t even worth it and to support company that isn’t even supporting it’s players.

Ps. According to ToC I didn’t break any single point of it
Pps. Devs, if it is such hard to find what u need to fix, just pm me and I will point u out what u need to do, or just read this post from 1. comment to last 1

So OP, if u want small scale fights just go spvp. WvW is exactly about zergling. Even if they remove comm tag guilds will still keep zergling and randoms blobing by simply getting into ts3 and targetting leader. It is actually in ppl mentality( more kills, more lootbags, bigger win chance) to zerg / blob and u can’t do anything to remove it. Also zergs aren’t about spamming skills, to play in zerg u need skills too to beat enemy zerg / blob. The only set-up without need for skill is blob( i.e. 30+ man groups). As for ppt, to cap a keep in higher tier( T1-T5) u need a lot of sieges, strategies etc. it is mindless ktrain when u go EoTM or low tier servers. Ohhh and last thing about keeps size in gw2 – eso, cos it is very simple why they are smaller here. Answer is: lack of mounts. Just count how long u need to run from wurm gate to s gate at bay and then go to eso and count how long u need to travel with mount form north to south of “keep”. It is similar time.

sPvP and small scale WvW fights are completely different…

Only with builds, cos u can play max 10 v 10 at pvp so small scale and not zerg( for me zerg is 15-29) – that is what OP didn’t want.

Yeah quite a lot of reasons to quit WvW already and I’m still amazed how many ppl play this gamemode and is happy even while being on the margins of community and Anet’s list of priorities – I think that it is like this: pve, pve, pve, pve, pvp, pve, pve, pve, pve, pvp, pve, pve, pve, wvw( some minor change like 4 colors of comm tag, but still something), pve, pve, pve, pve, pvp…

Oke, so what about timezones? Actually a lot of ppl play during CEST’s night time( mostly ppl living at west of EU) and they cap stuff without upgrading it, after the change daytime crew will have to capture fully upgraded keep( cos it will upgrade during night). Also not every server have night crew so this will be over huge advantage for some servers. For example let’s say that SFR have night crew that cap every single keep on enemy map. After that it upgrade and bah, during day it is t3 with wps and basically uncaptureable for defenders taht have to deal with group of enemy sitting at border and defending those keeps. So possible sollution is:
1. Remove autoupgrade
2. Remove autoupgrade during night hours – some rasism here tbh.
3. Set autopgrades to push some time only when doly deliver supply( as I saw they will only short time a bit, but it will autoupgrade even without em…), so if defenders have even 1 man he would cap supply camps to stop upgrades.

ps. I gave only EU examples, cos it is simplier for me to explain.

Ye it would be nice but let’s get back to Earth.

• WvWers are probably the only ppl buying this food atm
• This food isn’t really expensive( 1g – 1h? I can easly earn 5g during this time spend at WvW so +4g)

Heimskarl Ashfiend.9582:

Why not just make a WvW metabolic/utility primer, purchasable with badges, so the food lasts a lot longer, but you still have to craft/buy from TP.

• This don’t have rights to exist. Why? Cos it is GS item – some % of Anet’s income of money. And again mostly WvWers buy it so no more money for Anet from this.

Neomir.7493:

How about a buff that you can buy from a WvW vendor for x Badges that gives -33% to all consumable costs for x amount of purchases?

• Emmm and who will give the missing money to sellers? Anet? I don’t think so.

lordkrall.7241:

Except for the fact that the NA players will be at work or school during quite a bit of the tests you mean? I suppose they can just skip work and/or school then? What is stopping EU people form doing the same? Just skip work one day and stay up all night, problem solved

Anyone that thought that it would be a weekend do only have themselves to blame. Did you really think that they would order people into the office during the weekend just so that you could beta test for them?

Well what is a problem to set up beta for 1 day and auto report system to let them check out that after weekend? It is pretty easy with current in game report system. Just put major topics like : Bug with character skills, bug with mobs etc. Every reports in 1 day so the office will have time after that to test. Everyone will happy tho, cos of 1 day test like they did with stronghold. I also understand that it is stress test( 2h periods lead to this) , but if so they should put it every 2h for 2h, like it is now, but again, for whole day.

Basically anet made it easy just to shut up ppl asking for betas and don’t tryhard with doing anything to make them happy. Also since I work for gaming industry I know perfectly that betas are better if they last longer – more stuff to test. Cos during this beta I bet that ppl will mostly test out specializations and revenant without really exploring – cos of 2h period and finding bugs. I also took part in a lot of betas for hundreds of games and I can say 1 thing, ppl play betas to play the game, not test it, just play and enjoy it without really caring for bugs – for example I can give us DI: Epidemic, beta had 5k ppl during 1. wave, u know how many reported bugs and posted at forum? Maybe 20, rest was just playing the game. Same will be here. So 2h periods during such funny hours won’t lead to anything important addictionaly if they want to make stress test – not many players will play this. But hey, maybe it is the point? To not lag servers like they did in March or during previous beta?

lordkrall.7241:

20:30-22:30 CEST is fully playable from EU, even if you do have a 9-5 job.

The betas are not for our enjoyment but rather for the benefit of ArenaNet. They will do the tests when they can gain the most form them, which is when they are actually in the office.

Still it is only 2h to test a lot of content, while NA players will have…whole 6? Yeah And here is why I feel so kittened off by Anet. That 1. They didn’t say the day earlier( thought it will be weekend) and hours. 2. That they basically skipped EU players by giving hours that support NA playerbase mostly. Yes as u wrote 20-22 is still nice, but rest is out of question. While for NA everything is during day time so no need to sleep and ppl aren’t tired by playing beta during sleep hours.
