Guild Wars 2

Still broken /15char

Please report this from ingame, too. I have reported, and I have seen it posted in the forums several times, but they have not responded.

According to the wording, it should work with anyfood, no matter how much you change your food. But yeh, as of right now, it will only work with the first food you eat right after activating the primer. If you change your food, it will quit working.

It has to be a bug.

Atherakhia.4086:

Can you explain what other WvW changes so we can maybe give you some good questions?

Like account bound WXP?

http://massively.joystiq.com/2014/01/30/guild-wars-2-edge-of-the-mists-qanda-with-devon-carver/

“While account-bound World XP was originally intended to go live along with EotM, the highly anticipated change will not be making it into next week’s release. Carver said that ArenaNet is still working out some kinks with it and that the WvW team will have more information for players soon. "

I know one guy that has gotten several rings and 3 ascended weapon chests (he is like rank 300). I am rank 490, not a single thing. Gotta love RNG

style.6173:

hopefully, players can kill other players while completing this version of LS. It would be a completely new dynamic to the game and I think worth trying.

You mean, like being a PvP server in WoW?

ThunderBadger.3049:

Yeah…this was in no way supposed to be living story content…it’s WvW, not living story.

Just dont post that on reddit, LOL.

I am getting this, too.

After Halloween it went back to normal, before the holidays. After removal of the snow globe on the mystic forge, it has reverted back to the smoldering pot from Halloween. I am sure this a bug.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/BUG-Metabolic-primer-not-stacking-w-food/first#post3554047

Yep

So after messing with this, I have figured it out and it is repeatable……

It says “Any food eaten while the primer is active will have the same time as the primer, rounded up to the next hour” However, if you change your food, the timer will reset and never match the primer again.

It only works for the first food eaten after the primer has been activated. Any food change after that will act as if the primer is not active.

I put in a ticket yesterday for this, but have heard nothing. I figure I will put a post in the forums.

I have a metabolic primer on, along with my food. I have pictures of the timers on both.

As you can see, my food is going time out (and does every 30 min) even with my metabolic primer on. For 150 gems a piece, it would be nice if they actually worked. So far they are just a giant waste of gems.

Mag is stuck as being blue……..and its getting really really old.

Viking Jorun.5413:

Stairs/Hills OP. Please nerf.

LOL @ sometimes dying on that last step on one of the sets of stairs in green keep on ebg.

Sreoom.3690:

Give commanders the ability to mark unneeded siege to allow folks to break them down for supply….then problem solved.

Having the ability to remove unneeded siege for supply would be cool…….and would probably be trolled, too. Could you imagine someone removing all the siege from a keep right before an attack? Or using all the supply to build, then remove siege so the keep is drained, and empty?

If they wait until March, I will just find another game to play. Too many new games coming out to wait that long.

ILLSPAWN.5340:

I enjoy my Ranger and I find it easy to play in WvW. The only problem is that I feel my Guardian is needed much more in team play. I never consider my pet to be of much use in all honesty. Neither do I worry about the pets of my opponents because I never stand still for them to hit. I feel all ANet has to do is make it where the pet stowing can be permanent and then give the Ranger normal damage stats instead of the penalty. Should only come to a basic “if then” line of code in which if pet is stowed then provide a buff (to negate the penalty).

This! Seriously, this! ^^^

Peixe.1804:

This sadly is something that will always happen, especially when they are really unskilled and can’t 10vs1 me as a thief leaving me with 5kills and a safe way out. They always take revenge by jumping and dancing on my body when they kill me. I actually don’t mind it and it is better to just ignore this kind of behavior and get your revenge by killing them later on
I will not ever give up solo roaming as long as I can do things as described above

Which is BS. No one profession should be able to do this.

There should be diminishing returns. And immob SHOULD NOT STACK! Its just incredible BS.

Account-wide:
Age – 1507 hrs
Deaths – 1134
Kills – 14,009
Rank – 475
Server – Maguuma

None of the other stuff matters, honestly.

azizul.8469:

like i said, if you guys are on the T1 servers and want variety, come down to the lower tiers. we play different servers every weeks…

for the past 5 weeks, CD have been facing BP, EBay, HoD, IoJ and NSP, in various combinations. CD are currently hurting, and will soon get to face FC I believe….

so, the words are " you stack, you stuck"…

Be careful what you wish for. We come down, you go up…

(BTW, I didnt stack on a server. I joined Mag way back in the beginning, and have never left.)

Can’t even get a color change for map completion…#wvwissofunnow

This ^^^ First Mag was red for an entire 7 weeks during a fail season 1….now are nothing but blue. Wow, thanks anet. Stuck fighting TC and FA, and always blue. This is so much fun.

Heh, glad to know players on other servers have the same frustration as me. I’m on TC, finished mapping Green weeks ago and desperately waiting to get Red or Blue, but no, it’s TC/FA/Mag and we’re Green YET AGAIN.

We on Mag are feeling TCs pain, I promise Gets boring always being the same color. At least you guys are fun to fight! Just a little change up would be nice.

Belenwyn.8674:

In my eyes Arenanet needs to install different variances for Europe and NA. In Europe the new match making system works fine introducing decent variations of matchups, whilst in NA it causes stagnation and boredome.

The spread in Europe between 1 and 24 is around 880 points. In NA we have over 1100 points. This should already show that both continents need different equations for the match making.

yeah very true.it is soo boring facing the same servers over and over

To be honest, I’ve never understood that comment. Sure … you may be facing the same server over and over again but not likely the same players all the time, and certainly not if there are different groups fighting on the map. I’ll bet that if we didn’t see server names very few of us would really know whether you were fighting the same server or not from week to week. All this talk about boring rematches strikes me as being way more imaginary than real. The only boring aspect is if you are on one side or the other of a badly unbalanced match each week.

Nope, we are fighting the same guilds, the same people……over and over and over and over. If you dont understand how boring it can be to fight the same servers over and over and over, being the same color over and over and over, then please……come to Maguuma, see what its like. It is the same thing, repeatedly. Rinse and repeat.

wads.5730:

pug zergs are NEVER doing the work, atleast not on mag

Huh? Pug zergs are pretty kitten good on Mag. All they need is a good leader (and we actually have plenty of those)

“Im afraid now " Really, afraid?

After relogging 5 times last night, I got it to stop. However, it’s back again today. what is causing this?

With this patch that just happened, I now slide down all stairs and hills. I cant stay put. Because of this I have a terrible time fighting in wvw because I cant stay near my target.

Xushin on Maguuma…….because he’s Xushin!

Since there is no skin for longbow with wintersday, is there anyway we can get the slingshot skin to cover both shortbow and longbow?

Thanks

What happened to them saying they would not change WvW during leagues?!

OMG

Multiple times lately I have tried to mail supplies to guild mates (dyes, food, etc.) and after sending just 1 mail, I will be suppressed for upwards of 5 minutes.

Nikkinella.8254:

They just need to revert it. No one is enjoying these changes except for the horrible players who NEED the enemy to sit still and not be able to dodge just so they can get a kill. It’s annoying. You have to run melandru runes and lemongrass and every condition cleanse your class has available to deal with this BS. The newly buffed immobilize is killing build variety.

Exactly this. The fact that I have to give up so much of my normal food and buffs to keep condition cleanse up is just lame.

Sigmar.2185:

Solstice.1097:

It seems based on populations that almost everyone would win with 4 leagues in NA.

Diamond – BG/JQ/SoR
Gold – TC/Mag/SoS/FA/SBI/YB
Silver – DB, BP, Ebay, CD, NSP, HoD
Bronze – IoJ, SF, DH, FC, GoM, DR, KN, ET, AR
(…)

No way mate, has your division suggested ELITISM!

Why can’t David face Goliath?

Have you ever ask why Major professional sports leagues in the United States (NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL), they don’t form any championship with the top/best 4 teams for the long season?

Can you imagine FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) organize the World Cup of football (soccer for NA), only restricted to the 4 top national teams (ex: Brazil, Germany, Spain, Argentina), and denied the tournament extended to 32 national teams?

I could go one with the Olympic Games or Car Racing’s and still you won’t find similar what you propose, because a tournament is not only about win, the competition and diversity of the opponnents will provide experience, entertainment for many and the share of knowledge between all envolved.

That is an illogical comparison. If, IF, they locked it down to where only 40 people from each server could enter at the same time, then maybe it would make sense to have David to fight Goliath (that was a 1v1 fight).

But you are wanting diamond to face bronze? WHY?! Just to torture bronze?

Decrypter.1785:

A good solution is to make all wXP account rank , And the abilities you can spend only once per season per character :P

This! Why isnt Wxp account bound? Then we can spend the traits into whatever abilities we want per character. It isnt like we are new to WvW.

I agree, WvW is not alt friendly, at all.

Solstice.1097:

It seems based on populations that almost everyone would win with 4 leagues in NA.

Gold – TC/Mag/SoS/FA/SBI/YB
Silver – DB, BP, Ebay, CD, NSP, HoD
Bronze – IoJ, SF, DH, FC, GoM, DR, KN, ET, AR

Under current system:

Nobody can compete with the top 3 so if they want to stack themselves, fine, just don’t make us other servers fight them. Maybe the monotony of being isolated in top tier will help disenchant some players with tier 1.

The bottom 3 of gold can’t compete for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, while the top 3 of silver don’t have any real competition. Match these 6 servers together and you’ll have some fantastic fights.

Removing the top 3 from silver league would leave a highly competitive league.

Bronze league is already awesome and competitive. I switched HoD with IoJ because I believe HoD is stronger now. That could change but in the off-season we should have matches that cross those league borders to ensure we have the rankings right going into season 2.

Thoughts?

That looks fun to me!!!

azizul.8469:

“Both Anet and any WvW player will tell you, WvW is not balanced and won’t be any time soon”

… hmm why even bother…..

BAGS!

Yep, got the same message. Avoid it for now.

Sreoom.3690:

RyuDragnier.9476:

Easy to say when you aren’t using a Ranger. My condition cleanse is all passive based or buggy (see Signet of Renewal). The multiple stacking of immobilize completely destroys me in WvW, especially when all my condition cleanses just went off and I have to wait 9 seconds for them to cure again. Those 9 seconds = death in WvW.

Yup, I look at running Ranger in WvW as playing in Expert mode…all other professions have better skills.

This. Rangers have no way out of immobilize at the moment. What we should have does not work. (Or I have yet for it to work). Kind of like Sic Em, that does not work against thieves.

lordkrall.7241:

Interestingly enough this is most likely caused by the fact that some WvW:ers complained about being unable to finish Living Story Achievements/Dailies in WvW.

Kitten if you do, kitten if you don’t.

I get putting it in there to satisfy that few. However, they put in EBG in such a way, as stated above, that is truly disrupting the play! Having living story kill our yaks, screw with the mercenaries, take out our sentries; that is just over the top, especially during leagues.

I am sure they wont take it out now, no matter how much we ask, beg, or complain. However, hopefully they will listen and never do this to us again. Add Living Story if you want, but put it in areas that dont actually involve our camps, sentries, towers, dolyaks, etc. Put it over by grub, tree spirit, etc. Put it near the other pve stuff that is already in WvW. But please dont have PvE actually interfere with our WvW.

Thanks

KStudios.2850:

naphack.9346:

They are neatly in some unimportant corner of the map and I don’t mind them being there at all.

Been to EBG recently? They’re smack dab in the middle of the mercenary camps. And unlike the BL mercenaries, the EBG ones are actually relevant to the gameplay tactically.

This, this, this. A million times THIS! Get this out of EBG, PLEASE!

Iconoklast.2389:

I’m sorry but mesmer reflects can absolutely crush the average militia zerg

And wow, have you ever seen a mesmer reflect down a group of Omegas? Freaking hilarious!!!

Gizmo.9178:

Terrahero.9358:

This is exactly how i imagined pve players think

“lets take the ram without rank2 or 3, its just for the achievement”“ow if i get the chance ill burn supply on a wall thats actively being trebbed”

And thats why a lot of WvW players have a strong dislike towards the pve achievement hunters.

you seem like a fun person

He seems like an honest person. So many of us WvW vets think exactly this. Its very frustrating.

Absolutely loving the fights on Mag! Dont care about the ppt, just really enjoying the fighting (and watching them run from fights, LOL)

I dont get why this isnt already coded into the game. Why would anyone bypass their loot on purpose?

Malediktus.9250:

Superior rams with ram mastery do more damage and cost less than golems.

But they arent portable. We have taken an entire map with 1 omega golems. So much fun, and in the end saved tons of supply.

With full Golem mastery, can we please be able to put arrow carts on the golem heads?

Deathdance.2045:

Then put on tequal so 360 ppl on EBG can kill it on SM, or even better, make the destroyer, jomag and tequal attack at the same time each EBG bases.

That would actually be a trip! (Just not during leagues! Infact, that is my biggest problem with the PvE in WvW…it was introduced during leagues)

At the end of Season 1.

Anet should read OP’s suggestions and tweak them a bit.

^^^^

Chris.3290:

To give voice to everyone’s concerns, we don’t want to have to man siege at garri to fight off Aetherblade pirate skyships.
I think that sums up the concern here in a single sentence.

This. Having to waste our siege and supply to fight stupid PVE npcs that are taking over our sentry/camps/towers/merc….that’s such a waste and something I can’t seem to comprehend.

Why was it added? Who thought this was a good idea? (especially during Leagues!) Infact, I thought we were promised no changes to our maps or anything else in WvW during leagues. Why was that promise broken?

style.6173:

Butter.3024:

No comments? No changes? No apologies? Nothing? Just plain out ignore?

They aren’t going to change it now. Heck, if they wouldn’t take feedback that the breakdown in the leagues was wrong, what makes you think they care about the schedule?

^ this.
