Guild Wars 2

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

For population balance reasons, we’ve lowered the population thresholds for a world to be considered ‘Full’. This is to keep the population disparity between high pop and low pop servers more similar.

for population balance reasons…. thats nice!
my question is, did you also limit the population per map per team color or not?
i hope not for the population problems would still exist

can we just have a chat command on where we can find the number of players per sides

It was indeed fun to be paired with SBI…
see you again sometime…….

…from a GoM WvWer

DrakHoobama lol

what is grub?
is it the one that looked like Mordremoth’s embryo near blue keep on EB?

have you done the tracert thing
did you notice the telia thing

please reopen badgate

Rhego.6590:

I asked which server will be best

go to blackgate, problem solved

Are there any stronk guilds on T1?

i want to have 5 man ranked queue legendary title like “legendary carried” title

……in short open BG
problem solved

oh my………………………..

what if your D/C resulted on one of your teammate getting kicked out of the top 250?

im an Ascension WvWer
im emerald last season
highest i got was ruby on 1st season

i just want to have a casual Ranked PvP matches for the Ascension, right now im on platinum, its a point of no return for me, i wanna get my Ascension and snatch one of the titles atleast, i just wanna farm from noobs on bronze division

i was hoping -50 rating for leavers and afkers
40min is too forgiving

Anyone got a sheet music for “Theme of Prontera” on Ragnarok Online game?

here is the BGM of that

Aza.2105:

Wow has it, overwatch has it.

Because yahoo messenger and facebook already have it

thats the theory, but is it the reality?

come on Anet, ive played your PvE and decapitated Mordremoth’s head 20 times, ive played your ranked PvP 10 times, all im asking is you play WvW with me to know what is right to what is wrong Fur Fuks Sake

hmmmmmmm…….
Anet wanted an artificial 2v1 eh…
321 is no different from 211 because there is no point in winning or losing on WvW on a personal perspective
111 is much better on this situation

i think its minimum PvP lvl 20 before you can play ranked
…………..and that about right on the learning curve
more or less 50 PvP unranked games to learn

but if you hate being on bronze division and blame it on newbies…..
i suggest git gud or git rekt….. cuz thats whats mmr is all about

though i dunno how GW2 mmr works but on DOTA2 its +24to25 on wins and -24to25 on loss

before:
if it is red its dead

after:
if it is green its dead

Mighty Favazz.1546:

Weren’t we told that the dev team would look at implementing/adjusting skills that would benefit in WvW?

This doesn’t benefit WvW.bank.cum?

PMing players then logging out of map………

thats why Anet can’t show you /whois on the map and implement map capacity per server
they won’t get extra income

CrimeMaker.8612:

I have this gut feeling that the upcoming patch is going to kitten a lot of WvW players off.
GG boiis.

If Anet can’t control the bandwagon on their own game………
…how can they control the bandwagon of players from here moving to other games?

please open more stacked server

i think OP is referring to Reformat the WvW
Rebooting is like shutting down WvW for maintenance work then starts again after a few hours

Reboot= restart the computer (turning it off and turning it back on)

Format= completely erasing everything on your computer (harddrive) including pictures movies

Reformat= means same as format but implies that after the format that information is going to be put back on that drive and is generally used by IT techs to mean re-installing windows or whatever your OS of choice is

the question is, at what Operating System would be installed after the reformat

Looking for?

DeceiverX.8361:

Now think of them developing things for the global game of which they give even less consideration for WvW.

as Pikotaro said,
“i have a WvW, i have a globe game….. ugh… EoTM”

See the resemblance?

eating mcd-o while discussing GW2 changes

WvW is love WvW is life

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin’ stars
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now

i suddenly remember this scene from reading here

Drop the scythe bois!
https://youtu.be/-WEDcZTLL48

its a mega server with overflow but the color disposition is based on the color of the server
winners will be paired with winners
losers will be paired up with losers

if you like EoTm then you’ll love the proposals about merging all servers into 3 factions/alliances/globes………lel

I’ll tell you a story, once upon a time a game flourished with population of happy players, then after some time, players started diminishing one by one, one player foresaw what is about to happen and took a stand and told the GMs (GameMasters) what is needed to be done, the game director ignored the call and made a decision to cut the servers/channels by 1/3 to save bandwidth and allow players to find people to play with as they say, two months later the game died, and they live happily ever after on a different game the end.

Green = Overgrowth (Champion)
Blue = Frostreach (Challenger)
Red = Badlands (Underdawg)

When your always on Red it means that your server on WvW (Mist War) is always losing the PopulationWars2

the color on Mist War of your server determines the color you will be on EoTM

Cerby.1069:

Its kind of a weird question right? This sandbox mode with limitations and rules… whats the hard part of it? ANd how do we define hard…..and what subjective profiling is going on in ur head to determine what you end up choosing as the hardest….

Anyways so just answer the question

Q. Whats the hardest part of wvsw? (for you)

Anet’s side or Players’ side that i can think of?

if both…

Some say DBL, condis, tonics, skills, or bugs etc

Why is this not removed yet?

eozturk.7205:

Wouldn’t be better if whole WvW divided into 3 factions instead of servers which named of corresponding pve order (order of whispers, vigil, durmand priory) and allow everyone that 1 time only free order change. Ladder ranking system(guild or personal) based on contribution to your order.

The Order of Whispers is a secretive ancient Elonian order. They work behind the scenes to safeguard the world against the rise of the Elder Dragons and free and restore the troubled Elona. Its members, often spies, thieves and agents, operate within every Tyrian nation sometimes to the highest levels. Their extensive network is able to gather information from everywhere, even areas blocked to travel, such as Elona which has long since been isolated under Palawa Joko’s rule.

please reopen BG

The Durmand Priory is a scholarly order dedicated to protecting knowledge and lore. Named after the monastery which houses their archives, and in turn after the monastery’s founder Durmand, members of the Durmand Priory offer their services as advisers, tutors and chroniclers. Led by the asura, Gixx, they are cautiously willing to share their gathered knowledge.

siege mounting YB

The Vigil is a military order dedicated to fighting the Elder Dragons and their minions by force of arms. They believe that the only way to defeat the Elder Dragons is to unite the races of Tyria and to face the minions of the Elder Dragons wherever they appear. The Vigil wants to face the Elder Dragons directly, testing Zhaitan’s power in the hope that such methods can one day be used against the dragon itself. They believe that the Elder Dragons grow more powerful as each day passes, and that those who do not fight now are giving the world away by standing passively aside. They intend to be an army of light against the onslaught of darkness.

reason of losing when fighting head on is just slacking off JQ

I love Anet

these PvE freaks on WvW……..

Would you mind if I hurt you?
Understand that I need to
Wish that I had other choices

What have you done now?!

I know I’d better stop trying
You know that there’s no denying
I won’t show mercy on you now
I know, should stop believing
I know, there’s no retrieving
It’s over now, what have you done?

What have you done now?!

I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you
But now you are slipping away… oh
Why, why does fate make us suffer?
There’s a curse between us, between me and you

What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done?! What have you done?!
What have you done now?!

Would you mind if I killed you?
Would you mind if I tried to?
’cause you have turned into my worst enemy
You carry hate that I don’t feel
It’s over now
What have you done?

I will not fall, won’t let it go
We will be free when it ends

I, I’ve been waiting for someone like you

This video explains Server Linking, alliance sytem and faction system

Diku.2546:

Norbe.7630:

so basically this is Diku’s modified WvG
the modification is the xp system as a score

OP is trying to work out an idea that’s very different from WvG.

---

Major differences:

WvW Ultimate – Each Server Do Not Own any Borderland
vs
WvG – Each Server Owns a Home Borderland

Yuffi.2430:

I tried to find the best bits from the ideas others have posted and put it together in a way that I thought might work to help servers, guilds and players alike.

its basically the same for me
but better due to included Guild recognition

back to topic, do a little more tweak on the Dynamic map maybe it’ll end the Bandwagon and population issues…. maybe

so basically this is Diku’s modified WvG
the modification is the xp system as a score

tell you the truth im a no fan of removing servers to be like EoTM 3 colored theme
or the Hordes vs the Alliance of WoW or any other faction system

the Linking System is a modification of that stated above
imagine the linking system merges all servers into 3 different alliances
its basically the same as the linking system, just only 3 linked alliances instead of 12

if you can think of an idea that can push AR to the top of the leaderboards against BG on this system, then ill admit i underestimated your system

either way, this destroys the server system
and ill repeat here what ive posted on the other thread on what a server for me stands for

the server is the alliance of guilds

instead of creating sister guilds,
ex: BeastMode guild [BM]
BeastMode 2 [BMII]
BeastMode 4 [BMIV]

so the identity is the alliances and factions or the so called servers

Yuffi.2430:

There’s not much difference in action compared to the existing tiers overall, but there is a big difference for players because you wouldn’t be tied into a fixed tier – you would be free to choose where to fight each time you enter WvW.

A free transfer in any tier to fight any opponent, but the transfer is not free for whom you want to be allied with, this my friend is a flaw on this system to the server side issue

Yuffi.2430:

How does a guild on AR compete toe to toe with a guild on Blackgate? The scoring system totals WvW xp gained by all guild members, so you could have direct competition on the leader boards if the two guilds have similar activity. If the two guilds had very different active populations then you would be looking to start competing against a guild of a similar activity, recruit and work your way up.

this also applies to the flaw i stated above, its not free to recruit, why would people pay in-game to balance the game-mode, they already paid for the game
(think of it as you were a citizen on BG, then think again on a perspective of AR citizen)

Yuffi.2430:

In terms of servers, Anvil Rock is a linked server at the moment. Everything players do on AR benefits YB. Under this new system your server would regain its own identity and a position on the leader boards. This gives you a chance to recruit more active players and work your way up the list. In time there’s no reason why you can’t eventually displace Blackgate if you can build the community to do it. In the mean time you would be able to compete against other servers with a similar WvW activity.

So this system is still dependent on the Linking System, and the bandwagon lives on

1 billion guilds across all leagues for 1 server vs 1 billion guilds on all leagues for all other servers

the activity of the 1 billion guild on a server will skyrocket that server to the top and can never be shot down

Yuffi.2430:

Time zones and population:

We cant jump on this yet

MadBomber.3719:

WvW reminded me of RO and made me play GW2

Don’t you dare compare the legendary RO to GW2, not even the infamous WoW can dent its image

the very definition of mmorpg that is RO is only on par with the anime SAO, and that is an anime
you will play as the character, you role play

aside from that, i agree with you, the game that also made me play GW2 was RO, hoping to find here what RO did….

ok you asked for it, ill gladly help you on finding what you seek

what is the difference of the league system between the current tiers?
*Diamond League: the “Epic battle” zone to Tier 1
*Gold League: Big fights in the Border lands to Tier 2
*Silver League: Borderlands with mid sized fights to Tier 3
*Bronze league: Borderlands fights to Tier 4
(how may map instances on diamond or bronze or any other leagues?)
(limit per map?)
(population activity?)

Lets say my guild is one of 2 guilds on Anvil Rock, how can we compete head on, toe to toe vs the guilds on Blackgate which has approximately one billion guilds i think, whats our best chance on the leaderboards? our server on the leaderboards?

i won’t mention other timezone problems yet, just think this is only for NA prime so you can think of an idea how to solve that

SkyShroud.2865:

Hey, I like sister guilds, I miss the old mmo days where sister guilds are made to create a internal climbable ladder sorting from the best to the new.

sad….
those were the days that most people here didn’t know about and felt what it was like

wwDefuser.2056:

Anet could :
- add a players-number indicator for each WvW map like its shown in PvP (25/100)

there are old games who can do that, you just have to type /who on chat to activate

wwDefuser.2056:

- add Events like King of the Hill … hold 3 Ruins as long as u can within a skirmish (only active on primetime) once a week

there are old games that implemented that but the server is region locked

wwDefuser.2056:

- a server performance increase … to get rid of skill-lags

there is an old post where ive said that this required a new game resource same as buying an expansion for that price, the HoT

the server is the alliance of guilds

instead of creating sister guilds,
ex: BeastMode guild [BM]
BeastMode 2 [BMII]
BeastMode 4 [BMIV]

so the identity is the alliances and factions or the so called servers

i hate to promote my own thread to another thread but what you want looks like that too

pls respect the WvW forums….

Raven.1524:

I was playing a bit of WvW and made me remember a really old game called Ragnarok Online.

If anyone ever played it,……..

Is this kind of concept too far fetched to the future of WvW in GW2?

keep your fingers crossed

before i reply here, once upon a time i was a SinX dual dagger icepick/quad-dopple MG Emperium breaker back then

now, you can’t make WvW only a weekly event within certain time, it was designed for a 24/7 match due to its being an international server

you don’t want Divinity’s Reach or Rata Sum or other cities be claimed by 1 and only powerful guild and have the economy on that city (tax on npc merchant) be harvested by that guild until its claimed by another guild… do you?

RO’s WOE represented the name Guild Wars
even its predecessor RO2 cant even be compared to the glory that RO had

take a look to my thread, you’ll be nostalgic to WOE when you see it

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/WvW-2-0/first#post6395579

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Spectral_Grasp

i say no,
we need every voice on every opinion whether one has been playing long or newcomers
we will not improve WvW if new and better ideas can be shared by these newcomers if we suppress them

it will only discourage them to play WvW knowing that they are not a part of it…

dunno why people don’t understand why people complain about this change!?
i for example complained about this change not benefiting all WvW players.
i complained so that these kind of changes would never again happen on the future updates.

the autoloot is a good one, it benefits all plus you can turn it on or off

i will repeat the reason, i complain so that these kind of changes would never again happen on the future updates,

they should focus on the server balancing and blob lagging issues which plagued WvW for thousands of years since Mordremoth was born.
then after that they can go for the icing of the cake like new maps and stuffs

here is what he meant we

shagwell.1349:

What do you think the community wants?

Equality

Look, WvW before rarely receives attention/improvements, these kind of changes are like blessings to WvW players.

Now, if Anet will provide changes that not all WvW players would use or do not benefit them, its a waste of time and effort.

If we just let them do the work without the suggestion of players, imagine the mods that design these changes doesn’t play WvW at all, will it be awesome?

i have witnessed a game died because the game didn’t listen to its community…..
i was one of its community who tried to save it but failed…….

because of this…

indiesicky.2874:

This being a toggleable option, I’m fine with that. But I wish more beneficial WvW updates would be worked on instead.

…they are wasting everyone’s precious time including theirs
