Guild Wars 2

Many spots on ABL causes to be obstructed, even when you hug a player/npc you get to see this.

People defending cheesy siege locations like this should also welcome flyhackers because you know you can pewpew at them, its a viable counter ahum?

Few hours before alpine being back me and some other people on our server were able to waypoint into an enemies t3 “air” Hills. The moment i wanted to take a screenie to report it it was already contested again.

Yeah an option to turn this off would be very welcome. That way people who like it can keep it on, and those who do not like it, can turn it off.

win/win situation to me.

Ok we now have alpine map back, all nice and stuff. But seriously, did you really had to put tactivators in the middle so you can get stuck during evasions, was it so hard to put em on the sides??

May want to reconsider camps tactivator locations, most are placed aweful making evading a pain at times.

TorquedSoul.8097:

So can the old alpine maps hold as many players as the new maps? Or will the map queues be longer now?

That’s the 1 million dollar question. No one knows the exact numbers of players allowed. Anet never revealed that info.

Puck.9612:

Osu.6307:

When I read these reactions, it becomes crystal clear why anet usually does not announce big changes well in advance. You all are like a bunch of toddlers with zero patience. When told you are going to get something you want in the future, rationally, you should be happy. I want that and I am going to get that, so that is a good thing, right? However, whenever anet announces we are going to get a good thing in the future, so many of you scream and cry because you aren’t getting it NOW. Grow the f up.

In all fairness we were already told this exact same thing a week ago by Tyler Bearce.

Alpine Borderlands will be rotated back in with the next release (not hotfix.)

This isn’t really news without them telling us a date.

No communication about upcoming changes/updates: RAGERAGERAGE

Some communication about upcoming changes updates without an ETA: still RAGERAGERAGE

Jeeze it is NEVER EVER ok is it? Just arguing for the sake of arguing or not.

Well said Osu.

Jayne – good points +1.

Cerby.1069:

Lol cmon you kittens….stop whining about the game being too hard and start learning how to play it.

1. Drop stealth removals
2. ….
3. profit.

Truly ridiculous that everyone wants upgrades to go when they are the only things protecting ebg from flipping all over the place. Even more ridiculous they blame them for their own incompetence ingame.

The radius/duration could be changed slightly as it is a bit much to fight against it on the other side of the map. But even then its a case of being very observant of your surroundings to spot uncloaked elements of the zerg, and placing proxies/mines in the way of that zerg (aka around ur location) so some if not most of them reveal the location when they walk by/kill the proxy.

Relying on stupid gimmicks like these are incompetent. Past has proven opposite that you do not need these to defend SM. Just get out and fight and you will see.

A lot of nostalgia bubbles will burst when alpine comes back. Yes easier to navigate but it won’t be the same as before.

Tyler for president.

Why not scrapping the useless blob guilds and make wvw purely roam/pug based.

No one know yet IF this is going to win the poll. No one know yet HOW anet is going to change it. YET LOTS of people already cry before having pain……

Give it a break – See what it is like – If it doesn’t suit your need, you can all cry over about it.

You guys can put down your pitchforks and torches already. 1) first we need to see which poll is going to win 2) if the score wins, we still need to see how anet is going to fix “nightcapping”. Save your berserk energy for times you really need it….

Kudos to Anet with this last patch. Also kudos to Tyler to communicate with us by replying to topics. +1.

This will get my vote. Exemplar outfit with a tophat – priceless.

Dawdler.8521:

I am actually hesistant of this feature.

I feel the same way about it like how I feel about the sentries – I understand and see the benefits, but at the same time it removes a little engagement from players to lazily automate a function. We have already had this feature since they changed guild communications – WvW server guilds that can act a liasion between other guilds and offer global WvW coms for scouts/commanders/etc.

Is team chat really a better way than that?

Spot on. We on Gunnars already have server wide chat cause of a community guild. So basicly we already have cross map chat active.

Let’s just see if A) the scoring wins on votes and B ) how they are going to "fix"it. Then it is time to go all berserk about it? We don’t know how they going to do that so ehm yea…

Can i get a siege power mastery cause my power and precision doesnt work on an arrowcart? Oh and mayb toughness too, so it lasts a bit longer in meteor showers? kthxbai.

On a real note, no thanks siege damage is already more then enough.

X T D.6458:

Its a lot better now, but it still has an annoying layout. I still hate trying to attack keeps because atm there is just to much advantage for defenders. However when I am defending I find it a lot easier then on alpine. Keep layout designs regarding defending/attacking, as well as the other additions still need to be adjusted imo.

Try to attack certain spots on walls with a few eles with meteor showers and you wont say that defenders have the advantage anymore.

OT; I like it much much better now since they changed the wp system – removed those bullcrap barricades ( those shouldnt have been there at first place but well ) – opened up some space for easier travel etc. Now they need to give towers a bit more strategic value.

What about set paths to glide on. You can only glide it when u touch a pole, jump down and you will glide automaticly to a set point. That way you cannot simply glide into towers/keeps.

I rather see duelers who know what theyre doing instead of brainless zerglings that needs to be spoonfed ALL the time.

I find the changes to borderlands massive. Opened up some cliffs/walls for easier travel. RIddance of the G-Dammed barricades – WP under t3 upgrades so whoever owns the place gets the use of it.

Alpine was a cool map but also had its flaws like this DBL

At least give it a shot now – It is not that bad as many people here on forum will tell ya.

Dawdler.8521:

FogLeg.9354:

FoW will nightcap GH to the number 1 in this match no matter how many blobs FSP throws us at prime time

Ah yes, the perfect scoring system to be proud over.

18 hours of 3 servers fighting each other during the day is irrelevant, 6 hours of 1 server fighting doors and NPC during the night is a story in the same class as the Illiad.

Yeah seems you guys have even a more kittentier nightcrew then us on GH. Perhaps spread those omniblobs a bit more?

Speak for your own match up, Gunnars just started ;p

Sviel.7493:

It sounds like you’re taking some pretty inefficient paths. With the barriers gone, it shouldn’t take you half that time to get anywhere except the exact opposite corner (which should take ~3m).

^this. Plus the fact they opened up some cliffs/walls to shorten the run. No longer forced zigzags ALL over the place, just a couple left though.

Sounds as if OP faces german servers all the time. If there is one thing theyre pro at, it will be sitting on a cannon/ac all day.

I would buy it from the gemstore simply by converting gold into gems. You can call me a hypocrite ofcourse but to get access to HoT stuff, you need to buy it.

I’d totally buy it from the gemstore if it costs gems but that isn’t the case – one cannot buy HoT using gems.

And why can’t you buy it with gems? Cause Anet is a bussiness and wants to earn money too. Or do you think servers being kept up by charity? Cheapskate..

I said that because obviously you can’t buy it with gems but your statement said otherwise.

It was referred to the last phrase of Cerby saying if they put it in the gemstore the HoT owners would complain.

Keviin Snow.5760:

i wanna know the ppl thanking this update ,
How long do you guys waited ?
Try waiting 2 hours per day , see if you are still a happy camper
i would like to know if anyone willing to wait 2 hours per day from now on ? anyone ???

10 min tops in queue. But thats probably due for not being stacked on a t1 but a mid silver server.

Tho those people going WAZAAAA about queues – transfer down, problem solved.

That’s all HoT is. A rehash of existing gw2 content that’s exactly the same except they put up walls barricading content you originally already had access to. The people defending this are just those who were stupid enough to buy HoT. They kno deep down that it wasn’t the expansion it should have been. They just need a reason to justify the price they paid for it…this is how they do it lol.

They could put a mastery barricade over using and placing siege in the next update and HoT owners would PRAISE IT! It’s the only way they can reaffirm that they were right to buy into the expansion.
Alternatively if they put it in the gemstore and made people buy auto loot and the carrier with cash the HoT owners would be the ones to COMPLAIN! Non HoT owners wouldn’t. Such hypocrites! These are not intelligent people, and anet knows it.

You also go to the grocery store saying “hey man i come here to shop every week, now i want them for free?” – I justify HoT purchase with my times spend ingame – several hours a day every day.

Think i read in some post it took a senior engineer about a year to get rid of culling. Now they had this marvelous idea to add it back.

Anet’s logic; do NOT to attempt to understand. Unless you want to lose sanity.

Simply take the pve track farmers in account. Once they have done them you wont see that much queues anymore. Anyway were just a day and half into this merge thingie. Lets complain when this takes longer?

I like these changes. You can go from point A to B now without all the zigzag bullcrap. Also waypoint change is amazing. Gives me the home bdl feeling back again.

TL;DR : QQ about QQ. Classic. Maybe you want to format it a bit different cause this hurted my eyes.

I still melt people on a sup ac, in a pure power build.

The best part of this update to me is the wp system change. Gives me the good ole home bdl feeling back.

Who gives a kitten if you can get it in EOTM. Let those people there get it idc. They’re also available in Spvp..

Yell at them when they claim something without +5. Other then that, who gives a a kitten.

It’s like they fired the old team and hired a complete new team that knows what “we” want.

/faith restored.

Reading this stuff about vale’s treb makes me sad. Give it back already, can not wait to sneak around by the hills while they all focus that little entrance. And with sneaking i mean even without stealth!

lujate.5432:

I’m pretty sure the Heroics were always soul bound. Initially the chests were account bound so you could move them between toons. Then ANet made the chests soul bound.

Chests were account bound, proofs souldbound. However if you left them in your bank and moved alt to the vendor you could spend them straight from the bank. They fixed that like a month after HoT release.

Hello lag topics. Hello nightcap topics.

jamesdolla.3954:

Get rid of it. all it does is take people away from real wvw. eotm was brought into the game as a place to go when you’re waiting in Q and we know that’s not an issue anymore.

Get rid of real wvw. Would that make you jump into EOTM? If those people running around in eotm would be interested in real wvw, they would have already been there.

Just because you don’t like it, does not mean they don’t like it.

That’s the biggest annoyance. Not only being invisible but barely anything you can do to get out.

Tyler Bearce.3427:

It would be easy enough to move all the camp guards closer to the center, so you’d always have to fight all of them to flip a camp. But to be clear, you guys are arguing that you want to do ‘more PvE’, which seems to go against the forum’s current agenda of ‘less PvE.’

Can’t help, but Touché Tyler. +1

as far as i know, it is still un evadable. same as decapitate. warriors need help i know, but now like this. even on my thief with dash i am forced in melee range to do any real dmg and can not escape it unless i use my block.

Maybe you should learn to dodge. I mean Warriors are not really used any more in WvW, unless you count gunflame.

Learn to play a thief then….

He mains a thief and he is pretty good at it..

Obviously NOT that good. Warriors have been nerfed into the ground with the Pirate Ship meta. That is why there are very few warriors in WvW now, with the nerf of stability, only seem to be Flame Gun now.

Every Profession has some weakness, that is the way GW1 was also. No one profession should be just uber over everything. Makes no sense.

You have a crystall ball to see if people are good or not reading forums?

Those people playing EOTM are not interested in wvw anyway. Remove it sure but you wont see an influx all of a sudden. Pretty selfish to suggest to remove it.
