Guild Wars 2

I am still a happy gw2 player, although i highly dislike the directions developer is taking. Take WvW for example, such an awesome and potential game mode bleeding to death since they dont do anything with it. Sad times. This game could easily be the bomb of all MMO’s with its great combat system but all is going to be lost to the living story temporarily content.

Rank 1235 atm and about 5-6 ascended chests all with different stats, basicly rotting away in my bank as its all, well differnt stats.

Can’t they make wvw a bit of open source so people like you can work on this and maybe they implement it? Looks like theyre currently too busy with something else or simply dont bother doing anything for WvW, all in all a great idea.

Its called MAGIC. dont try to find logic about some stuff as it does not make much sense at times.

Ballista Bay. Nice vid tho.. poor refreshers have a long way to go.

I am loyal to Gunnars Hold. Remove servers in wvw and you totally kill whats left of it. Big MINUS ONE on this.

+1 to this. I would like to have a permanent Scout title.

Id rather watch paint dry then sitting on a ktrain all the time, i hardly zerg in wvw anyway so far. Small scale/solo roam ftw. Where skills matter then just spamming 1 and maybe a 6 here and there.

Just make it so you cant reset the afk timer with changing a piece of gear. Bad design if you ask me. Its not that they going to fix all gates to ress you through and im quite sure this isnt that much of work to get it done.

Dayra.7405:

Yeah, in fact they neither want WvW nor EotM, they want a GvG mode, everything else is uninteresting for them, but only more or less expensive/convenient.

For GvG guilds i can see this proposal has benefits but if this really going to happen i bet all servers will be one bandwagon parade and no one cares about defending anymore as `ill just stay 1 week on this server and next ill be on X server´. A better proposal would be to ask for a special gvg mode where guilds from all servers can assign to it and nuke eachothers brain in.

One can dream. Back to living story with u devs!

BANDWAGON WARS 2.

No it will result in a bandwagon sit-in. Not even Karma-Train works if there is none flipping stuff back

Then Anet could just get rid of servers and introduce megawvwservers. Bubaai server pride! If guilds want to transfer make them waste gems on it. Giving them a free ride is probably one of the worst proposals i ever seen so far on this forum.

Oh thought you were talking about WvW, but it turned out to be in EOTM. queensdale champfarm v2.0.

Nice necro, will throw my 2cents in’

No i dont want to have open nicknames in WvW, it would only make it toxic like WoW and really, i like it the way it is now.

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

Remember guys this isnt your normal WvW Tournement, this is a Feature Pack WvW Tournement! Filled with coloured tag, anti-siege siege and erm, golem mastery!

What more can we ask for?! What?! I cant think of a single thing!

I will throw you 2 ideas. 1) dealing with hackers and cheaters 2) some bug fixes that really matters, not like those ac/ballista tooltip crap nobody cares about.

Anyhow this is just kitten and not really waiting for it.

Stack anywhere but on Gunnars Hold so you dont create massive queues for the loyal roamers/guilds on it. Kthxbai!

So if I roam i get 50% more or less vit/tough/healpower?

Remember when..

We did not had the option to party up like we could in PvE
We did not had siege masteries to make em overpowered while structures has not been changed
We had a nice lake full of kraits and now they have slammed the ruins in it.

Hey oldmaster!

The problem is, as others have mentioned is that you are running in EotM. In EotM all people from all all severs that are the same color are put together in 1 team.

This means it lacks server goals or any reason to fight. That leads to people just running around, leveling their characters and farming champ loot bags and karma.

If you want to experience WvW in it’s better form, try one of the borderlands or EB.

You basicly have 3 basic options for this:

- Run with the commander group (if any) – this will be kind of the same as EotM but with a bit more tactics involved, and with the sense of you actually fighting for “your own people” – you can get some good fights from time to time

- Run with a guild group – this is the more orgaznied version – usually smaller in numbers than the commander group and using way more tactics, specific builds, specific classes – requires TS mostly

- Go roaming – meaning you run solo or withaa small group taking small objectives and looking for fights

Both of the above mentioned 3 options are a lot more enjoyable than EotM, so give it a go!

In hopes of stomping you on the battlefield,
a WSR dude

^this. Also leave EOTM for what it is, as other people said, its nothing but a karmatrain farm where everyone runs around in blobs taking stuff for the free wxp and gazillions badges. I got bored of it within an hour cause of this and it has nothing to do with the real WvW and its faulty score system.

Im so excited and i just cant hide it, im about to lose control and i think i like it!

Leave the bugs and exploits for what it is and give us golem mastery to create more imbalance oooo and traps to perma shut down siege if possible. Kthxbai!

Whoever designed the siege disabler doesn’t play WvW much. All the current counterplay to siege was perfectly fine with the sole exception of golem rushes.

If someone builds 6 arrow carts to cover the gate at hills they deserve for it to be a tough nut to crack. If someone builds 6 superior rams on a paper gate they deserve to get inside in 25 seconds.

The siege disabler will turn WvW into trebwars 2 since you can’t use rams on gates anymore.

I plan on buying these tricks up and showing why.

It’s no different than trying to burn down a gate while people repair it.

You won’t get in until the castle/tower/keep is out of supply. Once you are out of supply you can’t throw anymore traps and the gate comes down.

Imagine a couple of guys with +5 from masteries and +5 guild buff = 20 supplies each. So lets say 3 guys = 60 supplies = 6 of those traps before even touching keeps/tower supplies just to freeze all your siege in a 450 radius down for kitten each trap.

Edit: cant see the reason why 45seconds turns into “kitten” lol.

Anet, masters of imbalance and breaking down their own game.

Jim Hunter.6821:

Number 4 is a terrible idea. You would have a bunch of PvE players/bots sitting around in WvW to gather free money while contributing nothing.

A better idea would be to allow people to receive money every tick if they bought an upgrade for the structure, but this only starts after they hit rank 500. By that point most players have a decent understanding of WvW and should know when and what to upgrade so they aren’t wasting supply.

What about eotm ktrain zerglings, its not that hard to get 500ranks in there if i may believe people. I know some with 1k+ ranks and still havent got a clue whats the best way to upgrade stuff ( like popping fortify before WP / hiring merchants when a keep is under attack )

Badges of Honor, good idea, gems not so good idea. I wont buy any with real life money untill they fixed the core issues such as all those bugs and glitches/exploits.

Arghore.8340:

Also, if you build an AC somewhere decently close to the door, you can simply target locations behind the door, through the little slit above every door… no wide monitor or zoom hack required…

Indeed, there are also sneaky spots to put an ac down so you can shoot over a wall without having to “zoomhack”.

Max amount of golems on 1 map is 65.

Altie.4571:

I haven’t lagged.

Last night we had a few 60 vs 80 fights in Blackgate garrison, and still no lag, minor slowdown in fps when the actual clash was occurring but that’s the machine.

He might be talking about EB lag. A guildie just said half his zerg vanished and all came back to ask if anyone else d/c and all said YES. Also friends complaining about the massive lag and random d/c there but the borderlands seems to be fine.

Would be nice if some items bought with skillpoints could be come account bound. Yes looking at you Siege Master Books.

Shooting treb poisons on kitteny gvg’s guilds. Priceless

What if you kill a ranger, will you lose loot?

Bug fixes. Dealing with hackers/cheaters/griefers. Guild commander tags. Pug commander tag with various colours without the ridicilous cost of 300g each colour.

Oh think i would have like 100 tags altogether by now then lol. Anyway too many people would just pop fortify before waypoint just because its double the money. In another thread someone had a better idea imo, like first tag ( blue one ) is 100g then additional guild tag 50g and all other colours around same. 300G for each colour is a bit outrageous but hey its Anets way to peel some money out of our poor WvW pockets.

I do think you will end up dead when you are downed and using alt f4 to avoid a stomp. Lets hope he/she has to queue again on top of that. I will flip a camp for every player doing alt f4

Jim Hunter.6821:

Or better yet, do away with this horrible idea completely. Golems are powerful enough, we don’t need more power creep. We need fixes to done of the game breaking problems that we have had to put up with since release.

+1, However it wont happen sadly.

PetricaKerempuh.7958:

lordkrall.7241:

Of course. I bought mine way back as well.
But the fact remains that people would complain if all of a sudden people would get refunds for having more than 1 tag while the price would rise to a triple one.

do you agree with anets proposal?

Dont bother with him, hes the ultra white knight of anet. On topic: 300g for each colour is outrageous especially for wvw players that hardly earn any gold and those gold earned are going straight back into wvw like upgrades and sieges.

Slap in da face again from anet. You guys really like to kitten your customers off dontcha

August 12 Content Release Notes

World vs. World
•Updated the Commander’s Compendium inventory item to be account bound.

Wait a minute… why is this even in World vs World category? Is this their way of showing us a middle finger?

style.6173:

@everyone,

Fear not! Today is game patch day. We will see all the great work from the WvW team today. Since they haven’t really delivered anything this year, today might be the day!

as in fixing tooltips no one cared about? lol

Fuzzion.2504:

My view is that its not baiting. Let me know if Anet approves of this exploit

They simply dont care, unless someone finds an exploit on gemstore. This stuff is going on from launch and that is quite long ago so were safe to assume they dont care.

I am not going for ascended crafts so when i have a full stack its byebye

fishball.7204:

Add a ‘use all’ button.

Allow us to buy multiples of an item instead of clicking so much.

^This pretty much. Funny enough when you right click a whole stack of consumables and select “destroy”, the whole stack vanishes in one go! So it should be possible to do the same with the “use” option.

Ahwell Anet and Quality of Life features, one can dream!

There are no bugs in game, they are called Special Features so it wont need a fix.

/Sarcasm off.

Indeed would be nice to have same range as those archers on the wall, they are like 3 feet away from the edge and still hitting people under wall. Try that as player and all you see is obstructed obstructed. Unless you jump on the very edge to do some damage although that may result in dying on an aoe fest or simply being pulled off.

draugris.9872:

be careful guys the infraction and deletion bots are on duty in this thread.

oh and here´s a nice wvw video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmDfVSjNeaE

Anet, infracting players does not fix your game !

Maybe we should create a “Call to Arms: We want your bugs and 3rd party program software videos” and post this kind of videos in it. Also letting other people know what the purpose of it is, something Anet refuses to do.

No transparancy – No video from me.

Caedmon.6798:

Honestly,No one should give them any kittening vids,its just a disgrace how they suddenly make a thread asking for vids not saying why or how.While having neglected us for 2 years.Im sorry to say but youre a kitten fool if you make a vid for these people who has done absolutely Nothing for the game mode you Like to play.

We should just have mass ignored that topic, like they do with ours. They are just going to use those videos to show others how amazing wvw game mode is. IT IS a great concept but after 2 years still full of bugs/glitches and stuff we are not allowed to do and talk about on forums, hence why i wont use that word.

Herr der Friedhoefe.2490:

You know that ramp from the cannon to the oil pot? Yup, dead again on that ramp.

Hey Aidan, would you like a video of that?

Yea it is one of many death traps on borderlands, can make a nice compilation of that and perhaps some random imobilize bugs too.

So first of all everything we requested is not even around like commander tags etc. Now you guys at Anet are requesting something of your playerbase aka customers and not even saying what the purpose of it is? Ever heard of Transparancy? Communication? To me this is just a slap in the face and making me think you guys at anet are simply ignoring the core issues with wvw and asking us to make a video of how great this game mode is. However IT IS A GREAT GAME MODE but bleeding to death, such a waste of great potential sadly.

Please prove me and lots of others with me that we are all wrong with our “ignore/neglect” assumptions in the near future, not another year without a real update/communication.

Regards, a concerned WvW junkie.

Lets remove wvw map completion in order to get the “notsolegendary” weapon. My heart goes out to those poor wvw players grinding 97% completion outside wvw + tons of mats in order to get their legendary.

Now without sarcasm, like one stated above hop into wvw check if your world owns a structure you need to poi/vista in, take it, and go do whatever you want to do instead. Rinse and repeat and cross your fingers for another colour next reset.

Straegen.2938:

I believe all NPC guards should report enemy movement on the WvW map. A little alert icon for each NPC seeing enemy movement and a popup box when hovering over the icon stating approximate numbers of enemy forces.

This would create a real reason for guard posts and require more effort during sneak attacks. This would also help dispatch players to areas needing attention causing an increase in overall number of fights.

Sometimes you can complete it by taking all the tears off the platforms, then starting to make the pattern displayed on the rock above. Start with the left one.

I disabled emotes but like to spam spacebar to make my toon jump and having people rage about it in /w. Priceless.
