I know this will not be a popular opinion at all, but here goes! I think people are getting to many as it is! I think it should be reverted to the previous way!
Far to many people coming into WvW just to farm pips. WvW is a competitive part of the game, and has lost it’s way with all these rewards! Do not get me wrong, I like rewards. But I play WvW for fights in the first place. Now we have all kinds of people out here who have no clue what they are doing. All they do is karma train and farm pips.
I would like to see it be way more difficult to get ascended armor and back piece. You should be a true WvW vet to get them. All the people on here saying we need more need to go back to PvE and farm there. You are wrecking WvW even more now! I am all for new people coming to try and play WvW, but this is getting out of hand!
Best Guilds? Other then BoRP and KeK no ones else stands out and the rest should just be labels as best by servers

TDS BOO OnS VR SF DIE RISELow Tier
Everyone ElseBottom
DEFObv not perfect but toppish guilds by server
You said DIE is in here… Your are a funny guy!
Ofc, it’s lagg. You wouldn’t lose this badly with a hack. LMAO
Right. If not he is the worst hacker ever lol
What in the world am I reading? How can guilds that only run 40+, double up with other guilds, or only play on reset be considered top 10? Some of you guys are crazy lol.
Yap this guy gets it!!! ^^^^^^^^
I guess it depends. If you are facing a 80 man blob and you do not have at least 50-60 people that are running proper builds for group comp, you will probably get stomped. However I have been part of groups (as little as 8 people) that run group comps and know how to work together, that can take on and defeat 20+ man groups(pugs). So really depends. I personally do not like the Zerg mentality very much. I prefer to run small havoc groups that can bust a Zerg up. That is just my take on this. Hope it makes sense.
I really hope they do let us skip it. I mean I will eventually do the LS and PvE stuff n things. But my main focus is and most likely always will be WvW.
That list is like super old lol.
Skritt Skull commander tags FTW!
Maybe even Quaggans too lol
TBT LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
degustavis non est disputandum!
In matters of taste, there can be no disputes
I think is hack, he die way too far from the place he was downed.
That actually happens to me sometimes. Guild mates would try to rez ya and your body looks like it is right there, when in all actuality it is like 10-15 feet away lol
The catmander tag will work as well. If you have either the catmander or commander tag you can buy the commander’s wings of war.
Welp I bought the regular one. Oh well 150 gold down the drain lol.
I may be wrong! But several people told me that you need to purchase the regular commanders tag, the cat one does not count. This is what I was told. Wish I could give you a more solid answer!
Hmm looks like laag to me. I have seen this a few times, and a buddy of mine even did this and was like WTF I ma lagging everywhere lol
As it should be lol.
HERE IS THE SECRET – if you played in 2012 or 2013 (people in vanilla guild wars) they would use their luarals to buy kegs of wvw exp and get 1000s of ranks over a few days.
Anet removed the kegs of wvw exp so the veterans got to keep their ranks, but newer players have to grind the exp.
This is a fact, and not to many people know about this.
I have played since launch, but I did not even know about the laurel thing until after they changed it lol. I am almost at 3k now because all I really ever play is WvW.
1. What timezones are you playing in?
It is important because wvw is 24/72. How many people do you have?
It is important because some servers are close to full while some timezones are very outmanned in some servers.3. Roaming or Zerg?
It is important to decide the future of your playstyle. To roam means you not planning to grow huge. To zerg means you planning to recruit to reach that numbers which means you need a server where you can have easier time to recruit.We’re predominantly EST. We’re not “a WvW guild” but are currently pinging the membership to see how many are interested in WvW and if they’d be willing to move in an effort to come together on a server. It may only end up being a couple people. We’re still info gathering, like I said, perhaps we’ll have a WvW arm in the future so we want to plan ahead for that with at least a server to tell people to join if they ask where they should go. I’ve personally been just jumping into wvw solo and playing chase the commander tag when I can, and roaming when I can’t.
Thanks for all the information, this has been very informative.
Best of luck my friend. If I can help in anyway please let me know!!
I liked the new map. But I had a few issues. Hearts were grindy, mounts felt clunky, and it was super laggy. Map (from what I saw) was beautiful.
What made you decide to move? Why did you choose GoM at that time?
There is a lot that goes into it. We talked with several servers (some which offered us full transfers), and ended up just transferring to GoM(payed or own way). We knew of a couple of guilds on that server that would work with us. And it has been a better change for the most part.
I can only say that we felt our time in FA had come to a end. I wish them all best of luck, but after years on FA it was obvious that our guild and that server wanted different things in WvW. So far GoM has been good to us, and I look forward to many years of being a part of GoM.
Gates of Madness has a server discord. And is a great community. We moved from Fort Apsenwood and have been loving GoM. If this sounds like something you are interested in just PM me.
I was over 2500 rank before they announced pips. I am in WvW 90% of my game time as that is what I enjoy the most. I rarely use boosts. The only boost is the WxP from the Guild Hall. I finished Diamond last night. I pushed pretty hard though Saturday night. Plus after my Guilds rally (11 pm est – 12:30 ) the DBL became outnumbered so I played an additional two hours.
Best thing to do is find the outnumbered map and stay active in it. Also do not announce it to the whole world lol. If you link the outnumbered buff people will come running, and you will no longer be outnumbered lol.
I hope they add mounts, wvw is boring enough, might as well make it more entertaining.
Sorry but if you find WvW boring then you are doing it wrong lol. So many epic fights, how could one be bored???
I like gliding in WvW. I just wish the enemy could not just glide away from me. Seems broken. Maybe I am one of the few whom think this? Other than that Gliding is a lot of fun.
I like it as is, and frankly gliding is no different then if someone say uses stealth away or uses any of their skills to get an advantage to avoid death. What I am basically reading from most folks is that they want an easy win.
That’s like saying we shouldn’t be allowed to move in combat because they might avoid your attacks.
Wrong! I expect people to run or stealth if they have the ability to do so. But you still have a very good chance to catch and kill them! I usually get them too! Gliding away is not something that should be an allowed mechanic when you are in combat. So your comment about easy is just plain stupid. Maybe you are one of those people that engage the fight, then soon learn you are outmatched so you run away?
I understand your story, but I do not agree with you. You should not be refunded just because you changed your mind. I mean that is essentially what you are doing here. It is like eating half a pie or cake and trying to return it cause you simply do not want it/like it anymore.
Ya I had a few times in the last few days that people would just glide away from me because they were being beat. I have 0 issues with gliding, but it should be the same as trying to WP when in combat. You should not be able to just jump and glide away when i combat!
Honestly my only beef with mounts in WvW is that all but the DBL are just to small for mounts imo. Maybe I am wrong, but I have played many games with mounts, and typically those games have very large maps. Just like PoF is supposed to have.
Meh not a big deal. It happens to me, but I do not get upset about it. I just change it to what I want, then move on and keep enjoying the game!
I see snowflakes everywhere lol. The moment they feel wronged they cry. Get over it. Anet buffed the tickets you will get more next week. Reminds me of that famous song! You can’t always get what ya want!
I say the commander has the absolute right to run his/her squad the way they see fit. If you do not like it then just move on. I get your argument but Anet will not get involved in this. That is just the way it is, and will most likely never change. Anet will not tell people how they have to play the game as long as their rules are not being broken.
My take on it is it really has no place in WvW. However as long as people are dumb enough to glide by me and they are an enemy they will die 9 out of 10 times. So basically free bags at this point. But I do hope it gets removed. Sure people are having fun with it. And as always some abuse it. I think it will be removed soon, and we will not see it again.
I think all but the DBL are just to small for it. What I want is underwater map in WvW that is twice the size of the DBL. With underwater mounts like sharks and stuff lol.
We have never required anyone to be in TS. And in your case it won’t help. The only reasons my Guild would not let you in would be the following: 1. We are full. 2. You have been part of our squad before and all you ever do is squirrel and not follow the tag. 3. You contradict the commander. Those are the only reasons I can think of off the top of my head.
We have maybe 2-3 people in our guild that never use coms for w/e reason and they do just fine for the most part. I think maybe you are trying to follow guilds that require coms and such. You may just be trying to follow the wrong people is all.
ROFLMAO Guard is dead? Please tell me your joking? I will own you with my base guard! You just mad cause your loot stick is gone lol. Try it again without your loot stick lol
I love the changes. Keep active! As to time gated stuff I have 0 issues with that. The way it supposed to be. It should not be easy to get any of the rewards you can purchase through tickets. It should be 100% harder than PvE. Any who do not like it, probably should think about playing PvE or something.
Can you explain to me what’s “hard” about waiting? You will need the same amount of effort to get the rewards they just exclude any effort made after you complete the diamond track. They force you to wait till next week to continue progress which is ludicrous to players who are still putting lots of effort after they complete the track.
Why must you complain? Why are you not happy Anet is actually working on WvW? Are you just in it for the rewards? If so maybe you should play something else. I look at the rewards (in any form) as extras. WvW imo is not meant for people to get shiny’s. This is WvW a competitive fighting stage. Not gimme all the shiny’s. I imagine you would find something to complain about if they gave you an extra 300 tickets a week. SMH

Well my guild is on GoM and we run late est. We are mainly a fight guild. Feel free to message me for info. We would love to have more fight oriented people.
I like it. No more Afk pip farmers. You must stay active. That is the message here. If you do not stay active your participation will drop fast, as it should. I for one applaud the change! Thank you Anet!!
I am loving killing all you people that glide. So much fun. However I doubt it will last. It is not god for WvW really.
Silly Malerian… BG is god of WvW.
??
Your original post stated gliding is not god for WvW. I fixed it.
Ya I fixed it seconds after I posted it. My phone must like God instead of Good lol
Lol! That autocorrect sux.
I figured it was something like that, but couldn’t let it be.
Also BG is not God lol. All you do is blob your enemies like Maag lol. Anyone server that big can just blob without much skill. Not saying there are not skilled players on BG, just saying like 80% of your server is just there to hide behind a blob lol.
I stopped using staff a while ago. People called it a lootstick. But when I switched to hammer/GS I have been getting way more bags since. I think staff became is kind of a crutch in WvW. Yes it has some advantages. But it seems switching made me focus more, and therefore made a better all around player. This is just my opinion though.

Well someone had to spoil the fun I guess! To Bad I enjoyed my extra tickets for all my time in WvW lol.
This is working as intended. If you own that are you can glide away, just like in other parts of the game. I prefer to stand and fight, but to each their own I guess.

I get what your saying. And in your instance I would agree. However they have to apply this to everyone. A lot of people transfer just to stack servers so they can feel safe in bigger numbers. So that being said they would not have time to differentiate between peeps like you, and peeps that just want to stack servers.
Do not go for the meta. It is really not good. Find a guild that will help you find a build so you have a good group comp when you run. If you run solo just keep your head on a swivel. Take camps, sentries, and maybe even towers(if you can get away with running supply, and you have enough DPS to take down lords), and just generally have a good time. My best advice is not to get discouraged. If you die just remember Waypointing and repairing are free.
I have only really played 3 recently. So I will rank them on my personal like and experience.
1. Gw2
2. ESO
3. WoW
I am curious what will happen with this tomorrow. I imagine there will be bugs, and huge ques in WvW lol. I hope not , but if history tells me anything about MMO’S and changes this might be bad lol.
I am just looking forward to shooting n00bs out of the sky as they try to glide past me lol
