Guild Wars 2

<satire> WvW team to ArenaNet, NCSoft, Nexon staff: “We can increase gem sales dramatically, server transfers will be big in September. In addition, we might be able to shut down some of the virtual worlds, saving on operating costs and possibly freeing up more bandwidth to mitigate server lag issues. Also, some players customers will think we don’t care and will play less, so we can lure in new ones for our award-winning PvE shinies. End-game content is so over-rated. It’s all about business, ignore those t.r.o.l.l.s posters on the forums, they will complain about everything.”. </satire>

Real solution: Fix bugs, broken things, update competitive play mechanics, address year long issues like ui/commander/glitches. Promote a scoring system that rewards players for the time they spend working hard against equal power level foes, and addresses the periods of time when coverage is drastically out of balance. When there is some level of competitive balance, then a league might make a lot more sense.

If WvW was meant to be fair why’d they remove

• Golem Boxes
• Skale Venom
• Spirit Totems
• Anything else I might have missed?

That’s the real question!

None of those were unfair, because anyone could use them.

Don’t forget the gears, spike-fruits.

They were fair, but removed.

So how do the devs define fair? Let me guess, promoting gem sales to stack to higher tiers. Encouraging Omega golem PvD zergs. I’m sure they are the best aspect of wvw, yet.

It would appear the devs like wvw, they just don’t appear to like us players. We all know, from practical playing experience that skill matters, in some fashion.

But, coverage is significantly more important, beating those doors down when the other servers have no coverage still gets you the PPT and WXP.

Anet still has a few weeks to add PvD mastery skill.

We still have hacks, “glitches”, broken/missing merchants, upgrades that bug, sentries that can’t be capped, Lords that can be bugged, UI’s that need addressing, command systems to implement, yet we get this joke-scoring league.

We apparently don’t matter in the big scheme. Zerging is here to stay, population imbalances get worse (show us some evidence that wvw populations are stable) and yet we get Finishers.

This new scoring system for “league-play” is a joke. Hoping the devs come up with a new one in the next 3 weeks. Already losing players and maybe guilds from mid-tier servers.
You can be sure they are not transferring down league. Stacked get over-stacked, and the rest of the servers just say, why bother?
If the match point scoring had been based on the anet variant glicko in each match, perhaps the league had a chance. As it it now, no gems from me, anet.

My bad, sorry.

I can echo this. My fifth event, 95% ish done, and my machine crashed. Needless to say, no chance to get back.

Most AI foes have some “magic” area they roam in. And the moment they decide they have exceeded it, massive self heal kicks in and they wander back to their start.
Annoying cases are when they knock you off a hill/edge/cliff or some such and decide that they have “won” and then they reset.
Arbitrary, yes. And quite frustrating.
Doesn’t matter if you are still damaging them or they are actively being attacked or they have DoTs on them. They get an “out-of-combat” pass, but YOU don’t.

+1
Broken User Interfaces and comm systems is bad, 1 year is too long.
Guild alliances and alliance channel, why didn’t they do this?

ArenaNet.Do.You.Care?

Party ui works everywhere . . . but wuv.
Less functionality than everywhere else.

But you can report for anything except what you really want to report “glitching” “hacking”.

Leave the invite system alone, I’ve had more positive conversation, than negative ones.
Blocking is always an option.
As to tracking, “I’m in my invulnerable spawn point, come get me bro! Bring the zerg.”

And page 1 for this, yet again.
We run into this issue every hour in wuv!

There is too much green in the “blue” icons. Greenish, and reddish icons are fine, the bluish one needs to be less greenish.

And to echo others, who asked for this change?

We need party system fixes, commander and squad fixes. Color changes … not important.

Same issue, piling on. Mini Watchknight has gone AWOL.

Please fix the “remove party member” problem.
Related issue, are the phantom blue dots of offline, off-map players still on your map’s list of players taking up space, possibly affecting the queue?

The only reason for transfer, with the guesting system now, is region changes, and WvW. So gem cost should really be more affected by that, than pve population.

UI fixes, I do more than report!

Commander communication, party communication tools.

Remove glitched doors, multi-monitor AC “capability” features.

Find ways to make the game competitive with high wvw population servers taking on low wvw population servers.

Address the wxp zerg train.

New content after that would be nice, but optional.

One of the rationales for this match making system was to provide variety, and to help servers stabilize. It doesn’t address the WvW population/coverage imbalance issues.
I have no desire to spend more gems to find another server. So anet&ncsoft get no more cash from me. Looking at other games now.
WvW was end-game content to me, and with this problem going on for a year. It’s time to look at other options.

Nice fights from FA and CD.
Nice to meet you CD, this is my first time, please be gentle.

Aye, the party interface in wvw is seriously broken. Inviting guildies, allies, friends, is hard enough. Removing logged off members, or those in another map is impossible. Why?

Only way out is to way point. Please fix this.

I’ve seen this multiple times since the April 30th patch, most notably in WvW. As other posters have noted, it’s inconsistent, just when you think it has gone away, you get it again. Please fix this.

Defending the keep on EB, from SoR and BG, epic battle after battle. I hope a few of you got the vista, but we tried real hard to prevent that.

Score update . . . from a tall furry asuran.

They predict that SoR will be blue, and BG will be red. Congrats on #2.

Do we get a trophy? Or something nice to have?
Maybe ArenaNet will rotate the colors.

Cameirus.8407:

Are you having fun? Then its worth it even if nothing drops.

If you are not, then no amount of shiny loot would make it worthwhile.

+1 Agree whole-heartedly.

Score update . . . . . . . .

Just the score.

Brought to you by the great community of JQ.

We’re the underdog that will never give up.

Look on the bright side, you may be the underdog, but at least it isn’t due to lack of population. All of the problems you have can be fixed without recruitment.

Actually we have way less numbers than SoR & JQ do now. But look at how close Blackgate comes to competing with these two overly stacked servers.

We’ll always fight the good fight no matter what position we are in or how many players we are lacking. I truly WANT SoR & JQ to get more transfers. Other than myself, I know there are plenty of other Beastgater’s that are looking forward to farming more badges

Another alternative for BG, is train the “militia/pug/casuals”.
Way less population, based on what?

Score update . . .

My and our sympathies on the siege troll. Hope you catch, and report, with screen shots to ArenaNet.

Score update. This is not a typical Friday before reset.

Update <15 more chars>

Just the facts ma’aam.

CuddleStrike.8215:

Hanging with our SoR Friend! JQ murdered him!

I’m not lying! How dare you say I am!

With LOVE

If it was us, on JQ, it was probably self-defense.

Since this is an internet forum, everything here is totally true, right?

Quick update <15chars>

The queue should be FIFO. I would be partial to allow those that get disconnected with 1022 errors as priority (my old router did that to me a lot).

Score update brought to you by Feisty:

While we were facing culling, and lots of LFG in Rata Sum, BG was marching to a different drummer. Well played.

Dear ArenaNet, when will culling in cities be removed?

VOLKON.1290:

Dear Blackgate.

I sincerely apologize for my notable absence from WvW this past day or so. You see, I had just finished tidying up my lab in Rata Sum, stepped outside and there was this box…

I fell into the box, it’s a nightmare … frogs in my dreams, now.

We have been fighting SoR, BG all day. We “collide”, and even on rare occasions “collude”.

See the attachment. Nothing else needs to be said.

GekoHayate.2451:

Why aren’t SOR in JQBL worth any wxp?

Short answer, they have died too recently.

I go with the crowd on this one, Legendary Defenders are impressive, and pointless to fight.

It (supply) does seem pricy for the benefits.

Congratulations!

Welcome Devon.
Please be advised we are all passionate about this game form. And we all want our favorite things rewarded with developer attention.

Mine in the game wide category: Yellow text NPC’s in tab-target rotation. Why on Tyria should we need or want that?

In the WvWvW category: The owner of all created siege equipment. Since you already track the creator, show it to the world. (Related note: show the guild name on claimed strongpoints.)

Thanks
