Guild Wars 2

Hello People.

Let’s rock.

The idea is [Group Event] to require certain amount of players to be around to trigger the event.

Same like Siegerazer events in WvW.

This will stop the singles who just started the game or farmers who wish to fail the event with the idea to bug and farm the creeps all the time.

They’re [GROUP EVENT] for a reason but yet the events have no “fail safe” mechanics and fail at some point even after almost a year since the launch of GW2.

Needless to mention that events like Temple events fail mostly due to singles or 2-3 people staring the event and fail.

The best example of [group event] which need this change is the “gates of arah” pre-event where the poor NPC team dies time after time because Anet made the arah WP always uncontested instead of making the gate always open and the Wp contested until the event is done successfully.Currently there is not point of doing the event so no one does at any server ever.

For better readability i think we can use a “form” type of topic names now since we have separate sub-forum with match-ups topics.

Region – Date – Match-up

EU – 5/31/2013 – Red/Blue/Green

Edit: NA peeps are posting it that way but EU didn’t so thats why i posted this topic.

Jue don’t deserve this gift i’m making here but anyway !

P.S. blame the guy who was trowing cows for the narrow vision.

I’m giving and Example with Piken while its the main problem of all servers.

Transferring of players should be included in the equation or controlled.

And i prefer to drop from T3 to T4 in time and meet Old T4 server rather than having Gunnar.

Old system was better and the WvW system’s biggest problem was/will be not controlled player transfers.

You miss the most vital valuable : Player Numbers.

This is the only problem you have with “boring”,“not fair”,“stomp” matchups.

And here i can prove it giving you example Piken Square.We’re a medium populated server which had extreme WvW oriented Guild concentration few weeks ago.

Well now we don’t have more than 3 guilds raiding at any given time because like 70% of the server left to other server just before you add this “random” nonsense.

The numbers we pulled last week and this week will prove my theory.

I really suggest you to replace the “random number roll” and add “demographics” factor to the equation.

The screenshot i will apply shows a situation that didn’t happened (if ever happened to piken) since very long time.

And its not a result of Riverside becoming more skilled and we getting unskilled in few week after we last met and won the matchups against them.

Its a direct result of player number change – the missing valuable of the equation that forms the WvW matchups.

P.S. Randomness factor was never a solution for anything in this world …quite the opposite randomness = chaos (more headache for you)

I really hope that Anet finally man up and realize that the uncontrolled transfers at the start was kill chip for WvW and than payed transfer is not a solution (WvW oriented guilds will still transfer even if it cost 100g/per man.

You need to include the man factor into the math you’re making.

I already feel sad for Gunnar.

My apologies for what you have to go through this week Gunnar People :/

I don’t know how should i feel right now.

Have fun i guess

Yea people reported seeing you too

well welcome than xD

Errr how many are we at Tier 3 ?

Right now we have people from around the globe.

(Probably some NA servers too)

Caedus.6571:

Luna.9640:

So please step up and bring WvW down till this is sorted out.

No WvW for 2 months? I don’t think I can take that.

You think they cannot fix it for 2 months ? :O

(last guys thought 2 weeks not 2 month)

Niim.9260:

Loving WvW while it lasts, then back to hand holding carebear land of siegewars. Hopefully it takes as long to fix this as it took them to fix AC’s.

While i can understand the desire everyone have for GvG arenas (including me) its wvw guys we’re talking with different mechanics that currently don’t work.

Stop the bullcrap already and lets focus on the catastrophic situation now.

Meeks.1079:

The reason people complain is because A.Net has refused to do what every other major MMO does and host a PTR. There is no reason major bugs like this should be going live when there are low cost ways to test things beforehand. I played WoW from release through WOTLK and things like this just did not happen.

To correct you things far worst happened.

Liquid Storm.8097:

And be without WvW for weeks? Rather not.

So you think that Anet cannot fix this for weeks ? :O

lordkrall.7241:

And remove the fun situation with WvW without siege? ^^

Nah, it is a fun experience ^^

sPvP don’t have siege so go there…you and rest who think like you are at the wrong places.

Whats done is done Anet.

EU primetime started already and things are going out of hand.

There are 60+ at north and 50+ at south gate of SM right now on server where i play.

(can’t even imagine how is the situation on NA)

So please step up and bring WvW down till this is sorted out.

No its not.

And the situation is getting out of hand.

Xavori.3768:

Okay, you obviously didn’t figure out the mechanics.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO FIGHT THIS NUDE.

You want as much freakin’ toughness and vitality as you can get. This is the first non-DPS dungeon in the game. Well, non-player-DPS anyway.

The fight with him is all about turning mines green and luring him over them. Just hit 1 on the mine detector and then match the symbol with the disable. Land mines (bomb) use 2, gas mines (green skull) use 3, and caltrops (uh…caltrops) use 4.

Glance down at the chat box from time to time. When you see him getting ready to detonate all his mines, just run to any of the many places where there are no nearby mines and wait. Maybe read a book while you wait. Do your nails…pick belly lint…

You don’t get it don’t you ?

I did it 5m after the event started nude just like the mad king(solo coz grps was bugged) and the clock tower.

And i do it nude to prove its poorly designed,rushed and not funny.Thats how i protest things in GW2 i do them NUDE bcoz gear don’t matter.

“Use the mines to kill him” mechanics is Mad King’s Clock Tower all over again for me for now.

Even the unequip all your gear while fighting him is same as mad king solo nude killing.

Mechanics not good. After playing Molten alliance dungeon this one feels kittened. (sorry but thats exactly the word that pictures the whole thing for me)

I’m sorry to tell you guys but Piken probably wont be able to provide as many fights as before this and next weeks if we’re matched in future since many guilds left Piken and this weekend rest of bandwagon guilds that came from t1 servers moved away as well.

But still hope to see you all on battlefield.

PolawBew.2851:

they say many young men died of thirst staring at the twin goddesses….

Indeed.

A small tip:

http://www.requnix.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/ZoneLoad1.jpg

Every time i use the skill "ride the lightning the flower on my back become invisible and to make it visible i have to un-check and check it from inventory -.-

And i’m petty sure it happens with other back packs too.

DevonCarver.5370:

They do less damage to all siege weapons, siege golems included.

What about people like me who have the maxed 5% siege defense and still get the same if not more dmg. from ArrowCarts and Balistas ?

You have any intension to revisit the dmg. formulas any soon or let the bug float around forever?

Nothing more to add.

Well this thing is getting out of hand.

Its very annoying !

Enemy was attacking our tower i blinked near AC to be fast in defense and after we repelled the enemy i couldn’t let go of the arrow cart -.-

Had to WP away to the spawn zone !

And few minutes later someone else asked how to get rid of this bug as well so its really common and annoying as hell.

How you deal with those 2 ?

I personally find out that taking Dredgeman 1st is better.

Yea try to attack the bots in water that are all ranger and stack up to 10 bots on same spot near the middle island in borderlands.

I still have nightmares and hear the Music from the JAWS movie after being chased by a horde of white shark bot ranger pets when i swim pass this area. -.-

Seems Like Ar have bigger problems than blops and hackers already :)

Just Passed by a full scale AR bot party inside the water at Piken Border between bay and hills Quaggen nodes :)

You guys will have hell of a queue i guess :D And people told me that they’re there all day long :O

Xavi.6591:

Coming from WoW, one of the first things I noticed is that the targeting mechanic in this game is terrible.

I actually have to click target a lot in this game, which I personally hate

And targeting the wall in large group fights near walls or on top of them while they’re very important makes it …beyond frustrating with the walls permanently on your target.

After sorting by world came up i noticed that there is 75% or less instead of ranking number.

Does this mean there is a number one should play to be qualified for a rank ?

Or it mean that one is 75% close for top 1000 ?

Xavi.6591:

Coming from WoW, one of the first things I noticed is that the targeting mechanic in this game is terrible.

Its actually fine in PvE where you rotate between Nearest enemy and Next Enemy but in wvw doesn’t matter what you do…you always target the kitten walls.

I cannot find the logic behind this since you cannot attack the walls unless you’re a siege weapon -.-

Is it possible to make them priorities PC enemy or siege instead of Walls ?

It’s beyond annoying to fight on top of wall or near them and tabbing to target always targets the kitten wall.

Please ! I’ll bring tons of donuts as a bribe !

So let me drop my 5 cents here.

Since your primary concern is big number groups aka zergs and you give voice to concerns related to 1-2-3 man annihilating way bigger enemy i would like to propose to make AoE skills a splash or channeling skills.

The idea is similar to chain lightening where it strikes the person casted on and jumps to next one and so on till it reaches a cap.

But the difference i propose is to make it increase dmg. with every enemy after a certain number it hops.

E.g. 1-2-5-10-30-50-80-120 dmg and so on.

So basically a grp of lets say 5 enemy wont get more dmg. than 5 (1-2-3-4-5) if a aoe channeling skin being casted on them while a grp of 20 will get alot dmg. since the skill will hop on more people and with every person it hops will increase it dmg.

The idea probably is not good nor good presented due to my lack of fluent English skills but you should be able to get the idea.

The problem is that you didn’t consider the WvW hopers to Low Pop servers which are in T4+.

I’m from server where currently i cannot log to any Borderland not to mention EB since 50 minutes.

This never ever happened considering we’re a low pop. server but yet we’re in T3.

And we have really healthy WvW and PvE population.

Please undo your mistake and send all tourist back to their homes 4 onces.

Habib Loew.6239:

Hey there Wuvers,

It’s my pleasure to introduce to you Devon Carver, the new coordinator of the WvW team. Devon is an excellent designer and is passionate about WvW so I know that both the team and WvW are in good hands. As I step away to focus on other projects you’ll be seeing more of Devon here in the WvW forums so please give him a warm WvW welcome!

I’ll see you on the battlefield!
:habib

Noooo ! I was planing to send you and Mike T-shirts with this on them but you already abandoned the ship :(

Bump.

This thingy have to be addressed.

I want to thank you people for making WvW playable for me with 0 skill lag or invisible enemy or slideshows or freezing in big battles.

We had a giant 3 way fight last night in Hills where we was trapped inside hills lord room and both enemy servers was 1 on left of the gate other on right.

I didn’t have a single lag spike or skill lag whole fight which lasted a good 1 hour.

Centrix.4065:

World vs World vs World

I’ve Lost it here:

THe best Patch ever.

Thank you anet.

Finally i can play when megablops are around me.

What is the reason for this ?

I couldn’t find any ascended jewelry …now i cannot find any WvW items with this stats too.

Cluster.4159:

How the french do attack towers. Just without words. I laughed my kitten off. ^^

This made my day.

Than FR get offended when you tell them they love PvD. (French Nightcappping mentality)

Never happed before.
Like all other crashed started after another “routine maintenance” where you didn’t change anything.

Edit : I made a fresh install of the game just yesterday and already started to crash.

It has to be disabled because hackers abuse it

Anet you can thank me later for solving one of major ways to exploit in WvW.

Deleting Local.dat fixes the problem.

I just did and i logged successfully.
