Guild Wars 2

Squads or not, blobbers will blob anyway.

Don’t forget the condi cancer guys who can stealth when they start losing and run away

To my knowledge there is only one effective build that does this and it belongs to the mesmer which recently saw a substantial nerf to PU. The block/invuln issue runs across several classes/builds.

You left teef out of it.

Haven’t voted on the last 2 ones. They seem pretty biased and pointless to me.

You probably 3 hit those eles too.

Evilek.5690:

Main problem is zoom hacking. Attackers dont need use siege engines beacose zoom hack and meteor shower destroid everysingle siege engines in castle.

Not entirely true. Stand behind the wall and throw the blueprint just under the lip in a corner. Usually its safe there from meteor showers.

Yeah some spots are pretty solid when it comes to attacking. But if you just think outside the box ( leave keep ) and go around you can find neat spots to lets say put a ballista down. As for hills south west, yes that place you wont be able to ac bomb from the wall, just put a balli up on the plateau from the west and you will see it do wonders.

Edit: Picture as an example.

Use a knockback fear or wait, just kill it. Takes about 5seconds to do so.

Sometimes im jealous at the archer npcs. They are able to pewpew down while standing away from the lip where players have to stand to do the same.

Love it when people duel in high traffic areas and complain about being interrupted.

Like i have suggested before; Make DBL a dungeon map with bay/hills/garri paths and when ya completed that a legendary duck in the middle for extra reward. All the work that has been put in the map wont go to waste, Anet caters to PvE players and us wvw players wont be bothered with it anymore.

Win/win/win situation.

DeWolfe.2174:

Or, just nerf Confusion itself???

It got boosted. Ticking damage even though you don’t use ANY skill.

Instant 20+ confusion now ticking damage regardless you use a skill, or not. Yeah this rune can go already.

Reward tracks and rank up chests now give excessive amount of tomes.

@Jayne

Off the top of my head…perhaps the following would prevent abuse:

……1) Let the WvW community of players flag the player(s) they think are Trolls.

……2) Put limitations on how this flag is applied to prevent abuse.

…………a) Require a minimum of 10 Votes to enable a Player’s WvW Dishonor Flag
…………b) Each Vote must come from a different Account – but it’s a hidden rule
…………c) Each Vote must come from a different IP address – but it’s a hidden rule
…………d) All Accounts can only Vote 1-3 per day
…………e) ANet can review Report(ed) Dishonor Flag Transaction History of Accounts
…………f) ANet can review Report(ing) Dishonor Flag Transaction History of Accounts
…………g) ANet has the ability to override a Player’s Dishonor Flag & Punish Abusers
…………h) Players can request an override to their Dishonor Flag

……3) Then decide on what the Dishonor flag does to these Trolls.

Ya know this will only lead to more trolling?

PyrateSilly.4710:

Silly me for thinking that you would still want to play a game that you said was “ruined” for you.

It’s because he cares and what is wrong with expressing your feelings? I feel OP with the imbalance HoT brought us so yeah.

Don’t need ranks to see who is the driver. Just observe movements of the melee train for 10seconds and you will see it. You can hide ranks etc but that won’t stop me from spotting them.

Hesacon.8735:

As a roamer the ranks give me a good idea on whether or not I should get involved in a fight. If someone isn’t even bronze I will go after them every time, but if they’re gold and higher I might avoid them if my goal is to flip a camp or sentry and not seek out fights.

In my experience “lower” ranks like silver/bronze tend to die slower then say a platinum.

Hence why i call em Splat inums.

You can always snipe dolyaks/flip camps to prevent stuff getting upgraded.

Offair.2563:

Why that? Do the pve players with it bother you so much with it?

Lel actually I already have a rucksack and second I mainly see WvW players with rucksacks so why not make it a WvW only skin :p make WvW players work for it by completing certain achievements and kitten.

I rather see them gone along with all those kittenty wings. Immersion breakers they are.

+1 fpr bringing the lords hp and cap status UI back. Especially when this kind of kitten is going on without being “fixed”.

Why that? Do the pve players with it bother you so much with it?

Stupid bug errr i mean unintended feature.

Who the kitten gives a crap if people ask for a portal? Just jump your way to victory and leave them be spamming map for hours jeeze.

HazyDaisy.4107:

We need a wvw trap rank line. I don’t know what the specific tiers could be, but maxed out = auto deploy, meaning you could throw those suckers on the go.

How about anet stops throwing so much stealth into this game, is easier then a mastery like.

Just another flaw, when you party/squad up with peeps from the other server, you won’t see a dot on the minimap.

Straegen.2938:

Caedmon.6798:

You miss the point,it’;s about being in stealth 95% of the time while throwing condis around not getting revealed.

Who the hell likes fighting something that ? Imagine if we all run around like this..Whooptie…

There is a similar issue with heavy bunker builds. Course a heavy bunker next to a DPS build is crazy deadly and every bit as hard to kill. This thing augments no other class so it sucks outside of trolling stationary targets willing to engage.

I am constantly amazed at how people gripe about builds/mechanics that are at best an annoyance and rarely pose any actual problem in the game itself. Want to talk about how OP perplexity is… I am listening.

I rather fight a heavy bunker build over this 100% stealth while throwing conditions like no tomorrow thing every day. Why? Cause u kittening see it.

Sic em – gank em. Works most of the times, unless they run away ants in mah pants style.

Get a vial of salt. Whenever you get a salty whisper say “THanks for refilling!”

No no no x infinity cubed.

So are you saying you like a struggling wvw that will need a ton of developer manipulation to balance? A wvw that doesn’t even receive 1/10th of the development that pve does?

I know the devs are trying, but it’s easy to see the road ahead. Something big needs to happen to make WvW better for the long run.

We are coming up on four years into the game. Why the hell would we want a whole revamp done to a game mode that we love? If I wanted a “new” game, I’d play something else.

He just want to megaserver wvw and be the one that killed it.

Just because you don’t have server prides means no one should have it. Gotcha.

LoL NooBs.5076:

Terrier.8732:

Yes.. move them to the guild halls!

Of course! Lock more kitten behind HoT. Maybe it will sell better.

You can access guild halls without HoT.

Ofcourse drakkars build lots of siege. Almost all national servers full wit siege monkeys.

Still like that idea to move them towards ruins/center of maps.

When people ask you who is going to watch over home bdl when they find you on another map.

This happens a lot with hit and run teefs. Can’t 1 shot? RUUUUUUN….

apharma.3741:

I agree, nerf conditions because 3 power burst specs won’t instagib you if they focus right?

Sure condition Mesmer is annoying but decent condition cleansing, line of sighting to prevent sceptre 3 goes a long way. However generally I wouldn’t pick the fight unless I was at a camp or something that needed defending, just a waste of time fighting it as you can be there for 10 mins without anyone really winning.

Btw are you still running base ranger Babou? Saw you the other night and thought you weren’t using Druid but might have been mistaken.

Running druid. Can’t let that condi cleanse on F5 go to waste in times of need.

I agree. Condi wars gets tiring quickly especially when they top it with rune of perplexity.
I run every condi cleanse available on ranger yet i keep on melting cause of spamspamspamspamspam.

Funny idea. However when i read the title i thought you could sit in its kitten and jump out to scare the enemies.

Seeing people log out like this is the most satisfying thing to watch ingame. Especially if you know they have a queue. All that re logging just to avoid a death in a frikking videogame – hilarious.

Just kill people and do the dailies. It will take a while but that time can be used to fall in love with wvw too!

SkyShroud.2865:

Puck.9612:

Title says the bl is empty. Op proceeds to complain that he immediately finds people to fight right outside of his spawn………..
Logic.

hahahahahaha, glad someone noticed that.

lol – Priceless one Puck.

At least you get some frikking fights now as roamer on alpine, that is about the only reason what i like about this alpine map being brought back.

They are better populated then the desert bl. That is the only reason i enjoy these stale old alpine border.

I haven’t noticed this yet but “lower” cannon on south hills won’t hit stairs anymore. As if there is an invisible wall blocking the shots.

Offair.2563:

PAAAAAANIIIIIIIIC… Oh wait a minute, we dont have an idea how anet is going to implement this.

Lets cry when we have pain and not before having it, shall we…

Honestly though, when we actually find out what the plan is, most likely it’ll be too late to change anything.

Nothing new then. Let’s just sit and wait to see what it is going to be, then draw our conclusions.

Hardened gates one is a good one. Imo it should not be an upgrade but standard when a structure hits t3.

PAAAAAANIIIIIIIIC… Oh wait a minute, we dont have an idea how anet is going to implement this.

Since it’s clear that this is a big concern for players, we’ll fix it.

Interesting response, because it sounds like you’re taking forum feedback as it is and seem to make no distinction between valid and invalid concerns like someone who has no experience of the game mode. Do you play Guild Wars 2 or WvW yourself? In your own words what do you like about it and what you don’t like about it?

You do know people have also reported this through in game functions right?

I assume you, your guild, and your servermates, and have lobbied for this rule change through every avenue available to you.

I have, I even mailed a dev about it unfortunately didn’t get a response back. This is not about a rule change, its about fixing an exploit kthx.

You’re free to describe it as you wish, and so am I.

This is lobbying, very loudly, to change how the game mode works because your matchup has not tilted quite far enough in your favor.

Alpine has 0 effective designed-in catchup mechanisms right now and remains incredibly friendly to snowball outcomes. The server with even moderate population advantage can easily leverage that into a runaway score. Spawn camping and control of enemy garrison is a major morale victory.

I have no interest in spawn camping, I personally detest it regardless of who it is happening to. I am also not interested in running over 5 people with a zerg, there is no fun in that. I go to wvw for fights. If your server doesn’t have enough people to counter an enemy force, that’s an issue with population balance and coverage. Defending the use of exploits is completely unhealthy for any game, especially when it comes to one with a competitive game mode.

I have been playing wvw for over 3 years, I have engaged in many MANY outnumbered and hopeless defenses, sometimes going on for hours, just to end up losing everything. There were long stretches where it was normal to lose everything every day during certain times. And I cant count how many times I have been run over by blobs. And despite all of that, not once EVER will I defend or support this kind of behavior. This is not about me, you, or how it benefits a force on a map. This is about doing what is necessary to prevent issues like exploits from spiraling out of control and ruining gameplay and destroying the competitive nature of wvw.

If you cannot look at this from an objective viewpoint, then I don’t know what more to tell you that has not already been said.

Well said X T D +1.

Heimlich.3065:

Was I really only a Silver Major on Tuesday? I guess ranks fly by when you’re having fun.

That treb is counterable, in fact your server has destroyed it during this matchup. Build some siege.

With this logic i can also say to build ballistas to counter flyhackers. These trebs are being build in no siege deployment locations thus an exploit but go on defending this stuff gogo

If people are to lazy to find duel spots like south of south camp but go “duel” in front of a keep, well they deserve to be killed by other people.

So many good spots where no one ever gets to have duels at…
