A Guildie had a precursor dropped from the skales at south camp so yeah they do drop but rare as kitten.
Throw in a new map – Do something about this terrible match up system – give that GvG people asking for since launch and i think you revitalize it for more than 1 year.
Yes i know maps will take long to make and match up system is a bit rng to avoid the same matches over and over but come on, 6 ranks difference is a bit to much. Like playing soccer with a regional african team vs barca.
Oh and I’d like to add: why do you think monetizing WvW is hard?
Suggestion: gem store wvw:
- custom banners: different styles of banner
- custom castle skins: e.g. gold ornaments
- custom siege weapons: e.g. a catapult shooting rainbow quaggans instead of cannon balls, rainbow unicorn pun intended.Sell it for 500-800 gems in the store, i’m sure people will hop on. Just give us some regular fixes, updates idk… anything.
And then people would whine about them spending time on those things rather than doing stuff for “fixing” WvW.
So, mr lordkrall, what do YOU think should be done with WvW? Or are you happy with it’s current state?
He is clearly happy with the tons of updates and content being released for WvW this year duh.
Indeed, give Michael a break. Guy is being more helpful then any other dev so far. While moderators keep telling us to sent evidence and reports to exploits@anet Michael said its better to report as botting.
If Shakespear played this game and saw this thread he probably replied with:
“Whats in a name”
I’ll identify myself as the 3rd kind, player and reader. However i dont play this game as much as i did because i get feed up with WvW’s staleness and PvE does not appeal me at all in this game.
“A lone player should honestly not be allowed to take a camp themselves by stacking behind a house and pulling the guards there to kill them within 15-30 seconds”
why not? O_O
A camp is a very important objective and shouldn’t appear that feeble to succumb to the invasion of just one roamer. It is very easy for a roamer to take the camp before even swords pop up on it… If you have no scouts (which make up for the easiness), set at every camp. Like I said earlier, I can see roamers disrupting supply, but it shouldn’t be that pathetically easy to take a camp.
If a camp is that important you scout it. Just like a tower and keep. If you dont scout or defend that you will also lose it, yes even to a solo player. Might take a bit longer but no defense = lost.
we are now reporting every member of a guild should it have members that have been caught.
Do NOT do this! False reports make getting to legitimate reports take longer and in a cheating report there is a very short window for our GMs to react. Actions like this (false reporting) will lead to your account being terminated.
Well you know what, maybe if you guys actually did something to prevent hacking across the TWO YEARS your game has been out on the market people wouldn’t have to take drastic measures to try to improve the game experience for everyone. You think it is my fault that people have to come up with their own solutions when your company won’t even communicate what they are doing to combat the problem? It’s not exactly an unknown issue and any Google search can illuminate that this has roots going back to the beginning. I don’t think it is fair that you shut down my actions when it is clear as day that you guys know about it and are doing nothing to effectively alleviate the issue at hand. Your game is wide open. You’ve got no external software to protect it that ships with the game. You can hack kitten near every part of it besides what resides server side.
You can never completely prevent hacking….its impossible,name me One multiplayer or mmo where hacking is non existant,all those included with anti hacking software,Punkbuster,hackshield,etc..it doesn’t do kitten,they always find a way around somehow. Anet can only be fast in banning these ppl out.
Thats the whole point of hacking, trying to beat security systems.
I run zerker build but just grab any build as long you feel comfortable with it.
is there any build that will make my warrior take minimal damage from sivlerwaste mobs? i dont mind if it takes me longer to kill i just wanna not die in 3 hits…i want to be able to take hits and have my healing signet heal more than the damage i take.
otherwisse a build where i can heal and take little damage to the point where by the time i get 75% heatlh my healing skill will be ready again.
I can’t help you on a warrior build, i dont play one myself but im sure if you ask or read up in the warrior forums i am sure you will find a build or tips how to play it like you want. Also like others have stated, try to be as mobile as you can so you can avoid most damage so it doesnt require you to heal it.
I run zerker build but just grab any build as long you feel comfortable with it.
Wish i could have a go solo or with 1-2 friends on those legendary bosses but mega servers keep throwing me into instances with hordes of other people. I am not sure what you mean with “hard if not impossible to get achievements”, the ones i know of that are is in wvw where you have to kill 1 million yaks or spent 2.5million supps on repair but thats another story.
We have one 800+ wvw guild on our realm and only 1 decided to use cheats. Could you please transfer over to manually report the rest of them since we cant be bothered wasting time on it and risking a ban our self.
Thanks in advance.
/sarcasm
The problem is they made badges too easy to get in EoTM- people playing that have literally thousands of them.
Yup and some people still wondering why it turned into one big ktrain with those high rewards.
First off SMC, second off hmm…. It is revolutionary but i doubt its going to help tbh.
I agree that we do not need more PVE bosses in WvW, but Ive always thought it would be interesting if they mixed up the tower and keep lords a little. Why do they all have to be human NPCs with the exact same fight mechanics? It’s an area where they could add a little diversity and flavor without drawing away from the true appeal of WvW (beating on enemy players).
They could even add in new tower/keep lords as part of upgrading the objective. A T1 Tower has the standard keep lord, but a T3 has a powerful elementalist or empowered boss.
This is not a bad idea at all. Randomly change the tower/keep lords with different mechanics. They are already there so that way we dont get more PvE in this mode but a different approach ( hopefully ).
Would be awesome, also they should become more powerful when you upgrade it tower/keep to tier2 and 3. Maybe change the models randomly after it being capped to add some diversity, tower and keep lords all the same now apart from SM one.
Hey we haz multiple commander tags and also dont forget, testing this mode without white swords upcoming, exciting dontcha think.
wasting sups on building rams isn’t bannable have had it on our server for a long time aswell. that being said, there is no reason for me to keep on going like this. the only thing i wanted to do is make a clear statement. Please keep the battle clean of as much hacks/spies or whatsoever.
The reason why i actually did this was because of the fact that one of our commanders had been resently transferred to gandara. He still had a 2nd account on Fsp aswell as our access on TS he acted like our ally but evidence suggests that we’ve got a reasonable suspicion of the commander abusing our openess for the will of Gan. I definitely don’t want to support unfair fights in any way, and i think gan is skillwise one of the more challenging servers to fight against. just don’t lower yourself to the spying level please
Hope to see you in a (fair) battle soon again
(if a dev actually is gonna read this post), please remove level cap to join in wvw to atleast 20, upscaleds below lvl 20(or something like that) are not be able to do any form of damage and this will results in only being a rallybot. also take into account that most spies just delete their characters to be able to serverhop, so actually making a level cap to join wvw would be a good way to reduce the amount of spies on the server
Least you are man enough to admit, now grow up and stop doing childish stuff.
Easy fix would be to let us use a Black Lion Salvage kit and only get the applied upgrades back. No materials would be given. This way the concern of badges becoming a way to make money is gone and we can get our runes, sigils, back. The wvw gear doesn’t come with an upgrade so only things we’ve applied would be returned.
+1
You mean you are a small server with a bad prime-time only in it’s current ranking place due to a better night shift?
Yes, you would loose ranking, drop down to a place where you meet an equal primetime.
No, it’s an example.
So it punishes people with smaller groups on a different peak time while rewarding larger groups?
Why do larger groups need easier wins, again?
If a server’s best chance to win is to take things on off-peak times, why should the game be made harder for them? What benefits does your suggestion bring to risk the side effect of driving even more people away from WvW because they auto-lose because they can’t bring the same numbers during peak times?
Most of his ideas are self centered. As long it benefits his playtime he does not care.
Because every patch should have WvW included
QQ moar
Even if they patch something for wvw its not mentioned in the patch notes. Hello Quentin lake change!
It is punishing, but not from a seafarers rest overstacked point of view.
Look it at the positive way. No update means no screws up either.
A simple recall and passive setting would fix your issue, something any good player has hotkeyed
Having the pet on passive = a good player? Oooh, alrighty then.
Stupid question but how do you hotkey the passive/agressive function on pets? Because i have looked it up so many times in options but cant find it anywhere. Or im just blind.
But yea in order to keep your pet alive in WvW its better to have it on passive and manually send it in and out of fights with F1 and F3. So it does not get killed in an aoe spam.
This is why i simply stomp other rangers so you wont have to deal with a pet ressing him/her. I find myself way to many times downed and pet is getting me up even when 3 people hit me, not my fault but theirs for not stomping, lol.
Hmm balance, is that something we can eat?
Reporting cheaters/hackers to anets email is the same as writing down their name on a piece of paper and throw it in a bin. Useless waste of time.
We already have the victory worm. How much more pve do people want?
On that note, how many times the champion spider been defeated by now?
I took the tower as an example as your proposal says “40% of objectives” and a tower is an objective, This idea will even screw it more up then it is now. All it says the server thats able to field more players will get more points regardless theyre good, or not.
PPT is objective wise and from player stomps – adding points for having more people in the battle is redicilous imo.
Day or Night who cares. The amount of points per player is the problem.
I propose: you posses 40% of the objectives you get 40% of the points.
And the number of points is the number of players in the game.
So when there are 100 (sum all sides) player you get 40 points for your 40% of objectives, when there are 1000 players you get 400 points for your 40% of objectives.I cannot see how anyone night player would be discriminated by that! they are worth 1 point whenever they play.
Rewarding the strongest server in the match up even more. Yea good idea..
This means when i take 10 people to a tower defended by 20 and manage to get it even when they have more numbers we get less points just because they have more. What stuff have you been smoking?
How to add more imbalance ^
As far as i know siege do not rally anyone. Also they “fixed” dolyaks so you can not rally from it either. Those people you saw rally must have hitted a firefly or drake to get a rally from.
As of now i pick the left one with upcoming winter in mind. Right one seems to cause me getting the flu faster.
I am still waiting on a “why cant we have pet duels ala pokemon style” as another MMO got it.
You want mounts, you join that MMO offering them
You feel the world is so tiny with waypoints? Stop using them and run from point a to b.
Stop beating this poor ole dead horse already.
It was not even announced in the patch updates. But cant blame them though as they have to write a huuuge wall of text on wvw updates so this one didnt got mentioned. Oh wait.
Yea more PvE will make wvw more alive then it is now.
kitten much?
Reduce PPT in my nights when its daytime for others. So they want to reduce PPT at their night, which is my daytime.
This Argument is as old as it is Bad.
The Point of the proposal is simply make it:
few players = few score
many players = many score
Then it doesn’t matter where the sun really is, but you will notice that in the middle of EU night there are the fewest players playing in EU matches, such that they should get the fewest score at that time.And no they should not get lower score per player, they should just not get more score per player.
So basicly you are limiting their game fun when they have bought the same game as you. Interesting theory but anyway OP, if ya really care about PPT war – join Tier1 or so.
Reduce PPT in my nights when its daytime for others. So they want to reduce PPT at their night, which is my daytime.
It also happens on the Dart (#3) on spear leaving you running around with a shark in your waist.
First time i stepped into SAB – Trip down memory lane to the 80s
When reading OP im just thinking about 1 thing….WOW. From point 1 to 7 its completely like that.
Yes it’s idea from there because it’s nothing wrong with it. If you hate another game that’s your thing but I use it as an idea. I’m not magically saying things I invented. It’s all already in some games just Gw2 it’s not like other games and ok I understand that. But gw2 is more beautiful game and waypoints don’t make her revolutionary but just faster to travel. My main idea is to give people idea to enjoy more in environment of game not just brainless farming all day. People are talking all the time that game is getting boring to them and they only long in once a day to get daily. Any idea is good idea if it’s trying to get people more interested in game. I’m doing this to make myself more interested in playing as well to get something refreshing in the game except new story part which you end in 1 day and rest of the day you farm to get something good you can sell.
Just because they have mounts in other games doesnt mean it should be in this one.
I played that game for couple of years, enjoyed it and collected as many mounts as i could, even some “super” rare ones. Then i joined GW2 and im very happy we dont have those big fat dragons clogging up your screen.
Each to their own but this game really does not need mounts.
When reading OP im just thinking about 1 thing….WOW. From point 1 to 7 its completely like that.
Would be nice to have an option to duel in this game yeah. Guildies dueling eachother etc. I fail to see how that would create toxicity in this game. Trolls/flamers will do whatever they want to do anyway.
Do we need more hand holding then we have now? I personally never ever had problems completing hearts. Ok ok i ran outside its reach a couple of times killing some mobs not getting credits but hey kitten happens.
So they shut down that server and the exact same thing will happen with the new number 1 server.
It is however fully possible for you and your group to move to a lower ranked server if you want more even matches.
If you read a bit more carefully, it says shutdown TRANSFERS – not the SERVER.
There are over 100 titles in gw2. At least 17titles you can achieve in WvW only.
How many of them are reasonable if you dont take the silly no effort ones from season in account? 1-2?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Broken_Bottle
Perhaps this item?
I really dislike the idea of multiple WP in a zone, I say get rid of most of them and add mounts to help with immersion and bringing older zones to life.
Yeah, the waypoints make the world feel tiny.
Easy solution: Dont use waypoints and your world suddenly feels bigger!
To be fair earlier in WvW people made sure to avoid directly hitting gates and such in order to avoid swords (I seem to recall white swords not appearing if you only hit with rams) as that would give away their position. So clearly people did want to avoid being found-out due to the swords.
They are going to test it out. Lets see how the testing goes before we decide that it is the worst idea ever, shall we?
Scouting is already a boring and unrewarding job. Removing the white swords will only add more boredom to it and people will have harder times to find the fights.
Or do people want to turn WvW into Eotm ktrain where people trying to avoid eachother and pvd only?
