On fabric and leather in GW2 (tl;dr included)

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

It may be not as efficient as your method to acquire leather but… There is :

methode 4 : Go into [component level desired] map and spend time doing event to gather mobs “bag”. Work especially well for the leather you seem to want by doing Modniir ulgoth defense event.

This right here,

The current market rates are more favourable for newer players than anyone, because they don’t know what armor they want etc yet, so they can sell the mats off as they get them,

There are several ways to get the lower leather and cloth mats, but its going to mean you have to leave that level 80 zone.

And anyone who thinks that x or y mat is only 50copper, and that it will stay that way is only kidding themselves, for like 2 years the leather was worthless, and you could pick up a stack of is for less than 20-30silver, it will be the same for the mats that are lower atm, sooner or later something will be introduced that will use these mats,

Market prices are fair enough at the moment, you either farm for what you need, or you pay the market rate for the mats you need, its really that simple.

Why this game will never have Legendary armor

I thought that the Legendary Armour was just a skin just like 2% of the community might get, after forking out more than likely over 10,000 gold in mats for.

Why is GW2 GURU dead?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

After being a member since beta, I left GW2Guru a couple of years ago because of capricious and unpredictable moderation.

This pretty much sums up why Guru died, it went from a place you could post your views to a place where you can only post what Anet deem is acceptable while having no direct input, there Mods became way over zealous, this is what finished them off.

These forums in the early days where heavily moderated by over zealous mods also, but it seems to have died down here, and you can give input be it bad aslong as its somewhat constructive,

But in saying that given the way these forums are used, I would say that Reddit is the official communication platform now.

Yes Brunno, Attis, those are the options we currently have, but they’re terrible ones. Materials should be reasonably easy to obtain in the game without resorting to binding a character to a particular level just to open containers.

They are, you open the TP and buy them,

This really comes back around to the supply and demand, the demand is higher at the moment due to the raids changing the armor etc, once the hype dies down the demand will die down with it, and the prices will drop.

Changes to Ecto salvage rate?

Ok I Did It.2854

The RnG in this game is horrible, some people do not seem to get hit with it at all, which have lead to people in the past believing that some accounts are tagged on creation to get all the best drops in the game, where other accounts are tagged with bad rng and do not get the drops, everyone else is in between.

For the salvaging ecto part, I think a lot of it has to do with time of day, I personally have found that when the game is quieter, either first thing in the morning or late at night my returns are better, but during peak hours the returns are lower.

Changes to Ecto salvage rate?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

If you notice a rapid drop in return when salvaging Rares, stop salvaging, I salvage a lot of rares each day, but the other day I noticed that after 20 salvages I only had 2 ecto, all level 80 rares, so I stopped, it does seem when you hit a Low and High RnG rolls when salvaging,

So yes if you notice your getting way below average to what you are normally getting, stop salvaging, and leave it a few hours to let them build up and do it the following day, if your normal ( or what you consider normal ) rate has returned then happy days, if not, hold off again, and keep testing until you see your rate return.

What they actually want you to do, is not farm at all, but it to buy gems convert to gold, buy presents from TP,

On another note, for those people going for this item, have you actually seen it in game, I know a few people who where going for it, and then actually seen someone who had the item, and they where not impressed, and have actually stopped trying for it,

Also why did they note make presents drop from random enemies in the game, like they did in GW1, they put an event out, then made the entire game stand in 1 little part of an outpost to grind out events that are, well in a word boring, the JP is buggy, the bell choir gets annoying real fast, and add all this to the “the world you are trying to enter is full”

Maps randomly closing

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Is this a common thing now or just a way to force people to go do a map again,

There was a bunch of us in TD building the map up to T4 etc, some of us where fighting the Chak Driver, it was about 40% health and WHAM the map loading screen comes up, and then suddenly we are on a different instance of the map, Participation was reset to 0% and may level was reset to level 0,

This is not the first time this has happened, why do you take away the rewards of people have spent the last hour building the map up,

This is not the first time ive seen this, but first time I thought it was maybe my connection, but this time it was only certain people that got the boot, this happened right after a bunch of commanders spawned into the map, is the mega server kicking random people from a map to allow squads to hot join?

Solo Queue Team Make Ups

in PvP

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

So, I don’t do a lot of PvP im only Rank 35, but a friend of mine suggested I check it out now with the new leagues etc, so I figured why not,

So my question is, how exactly are the teams made up in Solo Queue for these leagues, as every team I get put into, I seem to be the best player on that team, and that is saying a lot, I mean tonight I could only manage 3 games, as the Average Queue time was 2 mins, but it took nearly 8 mins each time,

And when we finally got in, the first map I had 2 people who didn’t score a single point, the 2nd match I have no clue what the other 4 people in my party where doing, not a lot from what I could see, and on the last match we where winning then got slaughtered,

Its going to take along time to progress in ranks at 500points a loss, I don’t mind losing if my team is trying and the game is close, or if the other team is massively more skilled, but to be losing because others just don’t want to try is getting depressing.

Is the only way really to go about this to really run as full guild teams to just steamroll your way up the ranks/leagues.

Ley Line Crystals

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

So a TD meta failed, and a commander tagged up and said event farming come get your xp/crystals etc, so I figured why not,

The event farming in this zone isn’t that bad, and it actually can introduce you to the ways that each meta event on the final meta work,

Anyway, after about 20+ events over the space of the next 90 mins the commander decided to take a break, so I figured id check out how many crystals I made, well I was stunned to see that I only got 30 crystals out of all them events, WTH, either im missing something massive in this map, or something needs adjusted, why does the rewards from the events on this map not give more crystals, espically given then are needed to get some t7 mats needed for new weapons etc,

Maybe time to seriously look at rewards on this map, to maybe just maybe encourage people to log into it.

Should the Dungeons get some rework?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

The only dungeon I can remember linked to PS was Arah, the rest before that are optional are they not, ( note if they have made dungeons part of the NPE I wont know as I haven’t done it )

I think within the next year they will move to remove all dungeons apart from Arah PS for the final chapter, and even then they may remove it and make it that 1 part for the PS, siting that no one plays them anymore so they have no use in the game.

They have already stated they are moving away from dungeons into fractals and raids, I do enjoy fractals and the update will be interesting, I have no time though for raids at all, they removed a good gold income from them game stating reasons, then made new content that requires a MASSIVE gold sink to get the armor you need to run it, Anet logic, take with 1 hand, and take more with the other.

All Anet need to do with this event is, make it that if you kill the Legendary in your lane you get the armor piece unlocked,

All these people saying they have a high success rate with pugs I have to question that,

Ive tried this event with pugs and dedicated, and its failed everytime, i think ive meet about 3 people ingame so far that have actually had a successful run,

The counter problem to this horrible event is that, if Anet made it that you only had to kill the Legandary in your lane, this event would die in a month, as most people who want that armor part would never have to go into this map again.

I don’t mind the map at all, after you learn it, what i detest is the fact that no matter how good or bad i am, my reward is reliant on 60-80 other people on the map knowing what to do, and wanting to do it, if this event was about me on my own fighting a champ or a boss for my loot, then its all on me, but its not.

Hell today we had about 15 people standing on WP who openly admitted to just waiting to see if the event would succeed before helping, and we had another map where a commander was HP farming.

This event is flawed, and compared to the other 3 maps, it needs some major major overhauling.

In a way i totally blame Anet for the lack of skill, because most pugs for the last 3 years have had to press 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, collect loot, and now when they stand and press 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 and they don’t get loot, and they don’t know what to do.

Its a bug, in the bug forum, keep bumping that thread whenever it gets low please. Its been several weeks with no Dev response.

There was dev response on reddit this week. They said they were looking at the issue.

but of course they did, they don’t seem to like replying to bug reports on these forums, given the number of topics on these forums recently about devs ignoring here and posting all over reddit, Anet should just save the money and close these forums and make reddit there official source for info.

This will fall on deaf ears, they will never go back on there plans now, dungeons are done, id expect to see more and more removed from them over the coming months, the problem here is they removed the rewards but didn’t actually put them anywhere else,

They are pushing ahead with raids/fractals to replace dungeons, end of story, sadly the only people this will hurt in the long run are people who want dungeon master or a certain armor/ gift from that dungeon for a legendary, as in the next 2 or 3 months no one will be running any of the dungeons, and new players may find it fairly difficult to get what they need, unless they join a guild whom they can ask.

I participated in a TD meta event with the guild TTS.

The point being you need a tight organized group. Its more complex than tequatl, due to separate lanes, but really, if you have a tightly organized map it works just fine. And, just as a final point, I believe this will end up like Tequatl: as the population learns what they need to do, it will become almost as trivial as Tequatl now is.

No one ever said you couldn’t do it, what people did say was it needed a TT style setup, and the 2 hour wait for 8 mins to fail needed adjusted.

Coming onto the forums saying the event is fine after doing it with a TTS organised run is pointless, there have been several organised maps that have succeeded in beating it, the problem is that only caters to 1% of the playerbase the rest of them who cannot get onto that organised map are done,

Better yet heres how some organised maps go when on TS3, I was on a server a few days ago when 1 of the commanders came in and stated they needed x commanders for a 2nd or 3rd map, ( keeping in mind there was about 300 people in the server ) and it was a good 45 mins before the event, this commander then proceeded to say, that if they didn’t get the commanders needed, there would only be 1 map done, and that it wouldn’t affect them as they would be in the map being done and to bad to everyone else, THAT right there is what people are up against,

You wouldn’t hear 1 complaint on the forums if ANET had not locked the headpiece for the new armor behind this event.

Account visibility/location- against stalkers

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

Its a shame Anet cant ban some accounts via MAC address rather than IP.

As for the changing of account name, it probably would show changed for everyone else, bad thing is if the freak that is stalking you has you on there list it would just show them the updated list, Anet would have to manually go into that persons account, remove you from there list, then change your account name,

The only other way to do it would be, if Anet do approve an account name change, then your old account name its wiped off of everyone who had you on there list, and your list also gets cleared, so it acts like its a brand new account being made.

Surely it has to be an oversight of the crafting, why would Anet ask you to go to a world event that has to fail, when most temples will be completed with ease,

Anet have spent 3 years changing/lowering the rewards from events that players failed on purpose, now they are asking you to fail it to get an item, that seems backwards, or a design oversight that will get fixed.

So Anet are we going to get an update on this Meta or, are we in for more weeks of silence now, I must be approaching about 30 – 0 on this meta now, with both random pug maps and organised maps via TS3, and still nothing, the meta now seems to be whether the nodules will spawn or not, allowing them to get the boss to respawn,

I cant believe we have been a month and no one from Anet has responded, I guess its time to move this over to reddit where Anet pay attention to what people are saying.

My advice to anyone who hasn’t bought HoT yet is to seriously read threw the forums, some people will say its just haters going to hate, but when you see topic after topic on the same things, its time to pay attention, so many people cannot be wrong,

There are some major issues with HoT that need addressing, thus far anet have ignored both ingame and on the forums, these range from simple things to map breaking/ game breaking for some people,

As much as I have enjoyed HoT so far, I would tell anyone new to the game to tread with caution, as it may not be what you are expecting.

When the patch hits in December for fractals, if it does not address some of the other issues that have been raised by the community, regards XP, Grinding, Broken Meta ( TD ) I will then recommend to people I know whom haven’t gotten HoT not to get it, until such time Anet pays attention to the people who are keeping them in a job.

This topic will fall on deaf ears, Anet do not care for these types of topics at all, and to back up Anets reasoning for ignoring you, is well dedicated teams using TS3/Vent have beaten the Meta, if you are a pug you have no chance,

There have already been topics about this zone for weeks now, and they have went ignored, not even as much as an acknowledgment on the problem.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/TD-Meta-is-anyone-still-trying/first

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/TD-meta-Chak-Gerent/first

The fact still remains the map is dead, pugs have no chance to complete this, the events failure rate is to high, so people avoid it to go do other metas that succeed and that are rewarding, not to mention the other meta’s also don’t instant fail if one of the events during that meta fail, you get a chance to continue, in TD if just 1 lane is a few ppl short and cant get that pre done BAM 2 hour wait for the next event.

I feel Anet have already washed there hands of this map, and have already moved forward with Raids etc, they may review the map in a few months or so, or just leave it for dead.

Its been just over a month since HoT came out, and Anet haven’t replied once about the situation in TD,

So my advice is, if you really want this map, you will have to sit on a TS community server for 2 hours+ then hope that when they port in that you end up on the same map, if you do manage to get onto the map, then you are half way there, but keep in mind that even dedicated teams can fail the event also.

Sounds like the system auto flagged her account when the gold was being sent via the in game mail system, and generated a false positive, if she doesn’t get anywhere with support, there is a thread on the forums you can post in to have it looked at,

Support can be like drones sometimes and do not look into things as much as they should, a dev can look further into the logs,

Im far from a fan of Anets in terms of what they are doing, there communication with us is shocking, they where all over the forums and blogs pre HoT and post HoT they have all disappeared into the shadows.

In saying that, I don’t mind HoT, people are talking about grind, but I have played games where it really is a grind, I don’t find it overly hard to get XP,

There are a few things that they are doing atm that would put be off any further expansions, the Raid Roll Out was horrible, unless you are standing at that portal, or in a guild you pretty much have no chance of getting into it, the LFG system isn’t designed for this content, not to mention they put the entrance do the first RAID in a map that requires a lot of players to complete the meta on it, this is a bad design, and needs overhauling.

They should have put a portal in LA for the raids, like they did with Fractals, LA is big enough they could have put it out on a new island in the water or something, where people can gather and forum parties,

The only other real sticking point for me in HoT is that 1 broken Meta in TD, its a really sore sticking point, the fact they require a TT setup with near full TS communication to beat it is horrible, I don’t know what they where thinking, I guess when they “tested” this they all had there god mode instant kill skills on, I am aware that it has been beaten by dedicated teams of people, but sadly 95% of players wont get into this sort of map, I even seen 2 dedicated teams fail it last night, id go as far to say that this 1 event has ruined my HoT experience,

Would I pre-purchase the next expansion, probably not, id probably wait 6-10 weeks after it launched to see real feedback, id say its been about 3-4months since I even looked at the gem store now also.

TD meta & Chak Gerent

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

….

What the game needs is following thigns to get the meta running:

How did people scream out load at the beginning of the new Tequatl design, how impossile the new design is and how difficult it is ect. pp.
Until people figured out how to overcome that new challenge, spread the information sto share their wisdom and become better together.
The exact same thign with the introduction of the Tri Wurm… what did we curse at anet for how hard they are at the beginning.
By now the battle is trivial, because everybody knows exactly what to do, when and where..peopel educated thenmself, spread their knowdlge, posted guides everywhere with proof that they were successful that way b directly demonstratign it with also a video attached to the guides

Thats what we need now. Once the knowledge sharing and more active organization becomes better and more, then its just a matter of time, until people will trivialize the TD meta events also too, like we did with tequatl and tri wurm in the past.
In the end its just a learning and active participation issue, because as long you don#t have either not enough players on the map willing to participate in the meta event, , nor enough people that know exactly what to do in their lanes, the event will fail.

Thats the point on what we as a community have to work on together to change this situation and not hope for event nerfs and what not all to hope for it ,that anet makes it easier for us, just because we seem to be unable to do, what we already did in the past with Tequatl and Tri Wurm suddely…

just my 2 cents

But you cannot compare Teq or Triple Trouble to this event,

Yes when them events went live people did complain then guides came out etc on what to do, Teq can be easily done with pugs now, but TT has no chance with pugs, that still requires a dedicated map and usually a TS server to even have a chance.

But regardless, when these events where introduced there was no Dry Top, Silverwastes, VB, AB, DS, all of these maps offer better rewards and a higher success rate, and given the server rotation of meta’s either DS, AB or VB will spawn close to or at the same time as DT, and no one wants to go to an event that will likely fail when they can go get there loot from one of the others,

Given that ANET have not even acknowledged a problem with TD and nothing in the patch notes today im guessing there taking the stance of screw you, and if people want to even have a remote chance in hell at getting this event you need to log onto a dedicated TS server for either NA or EU and just sit and wait, and hope you can get taxi’d in before the glitched megaserver says NO WAY server is full with 50 people.

Ive enjoyed all of HoT so far but this is the biggest kick in the teeth from Anet.

TC was always a fun, fairly low drama server.

The fact that you can transfer to a T1 server now, really says it all, after 3 years Anet finally killed WvW, id say that within the next 6-9 months they will remove the format from the game, stating it no longer fits their views of what WvW should be,

For those who did WvW, you will probably find more battles in EotM, smaller maps, faster to respawn and get back to the zerg vs zerg battles.

I was on a T1 EU server before the new maps, now we are T3, there is no one on the home BL’s not even after reset, everyone has stopped, unless they can get into EB.

At this point they should just cut there losses and close WvW down, admit they made a mistake, and either go back to the drawing board, or admit defeat and pull the plug completely, and just push EotM ( seeing as its seeing more WvW action than the WvW maps ).

TD Meta - is anyone still trying?

Posted by: Ok I Did It.2854

Ok I Did It.2854

And aside from all the complaints you listed it’s still been completed by a pug group.
You say waypoints are too far, when in fact it’s faster to waypoint to the respective lane camp and take the wallow back to your lane landing you pretty much in the middle.
Just the fact you seemed to not have known that shows people still do not know the fight in its entirety.
I stand by what I said.

That isn’t entirely true though is it, anyone reading that comment would just think everyone else has no merit for complaint, the “pug” group as you put it wasn’t just a pug group though, yes they where pugs but where also on a TS server in a dedicated channel with dedicated commanders, going by your version of “pug” then Triple Trouble was also beaten by pugs, alas this is not the case,

There is a world of difference between random pugs on a map trying this event whom are not on a TS server with commaders and prep, Vs random pugs ON a TS server listening to the commanders to complete the event.

As it stands a random PUG map will never beat this event, the error margin for failure is way to high, it is completely unforgiven if you even have a few people short per lane, compiled with the Megaserver issue,

The only thing ill agree on is the Armor locked behind it, the sad sorry case for this map is, that 95% of the people wanting that meta want that item to be unlocked, if Anet did not lock that item behind this meta, then the map would be empty, and no one would be there at all do to the meta, and then there would be a completely different set of posts about it.

They need to add a TIMER to the map just like VB,AB and DS, you can enter that map and have no clue when the meta is going to start,

They also need to make it that when each pre event is done, the map auto starts a count down timer for the boss, so that it can be spawned more times a day.

Until Anet address these issues or the fact that there is an issue to begin with, these posts will continue, its sad that as players we have to drag an issue to Reddit and other social media before Anet pay attention.

TD Meta - is anyone still trying?

So Anet any feedback for us on this map/meta, the maps are still deserted, and when you do get a map you cant taxi anyone in as the server says the map is full with 40-50 people.

Or are we just facing another week of silence on this.

So freaking bored

I was in Tangled Depths recently and was trying to do the meta. It was on a map I joined because the person advertising said it was an organized map. Just before the meta began, people that were still taxiing in others started saying the map was full. Great. The map’s full, so we should be able to get the meta done.

But it failed. The map was full, but there weren’t enough people doing the meta for it to succeed. So, what happens? People in map chat start blaming and insulting the people that weren’t helping with the meta specifically but that were playing in the map.

I mean, I was doing the meta; I joined this specific map to get it done, but I still don’t think it’s fair some of the things I’m seeing.

People telling others to “get out of the map and go do something else if you’re not going to help with the meta” or telling everyone that’s in the map doing something else, like Hero Challenges or their map completions, that they need to drop everything they’re doing and “come help with this meta event.”

I was on an organised map about 30 mins ago, or at least we tried, where on the GW2 comm TS and everything, we where taxing in, when people started to say the map was full, we had about 50 people for the meta, the megaserver is breaking this event, combined with its ultra high fail rate, people just ignore it and go to other events they know will succeed.

Any information on the Oni Blade?

If it does appear it will be a gemstore skin, which is annoying, as Anet don’t seem to be heading towards Cantha or Elona yet we can get the skins from them worlds, seems kind of backwards.

Cannot join Parties anymore?

I have the same problem,

I had to log out of game completely, log back in, select a different character, then log back out, and back into the 1 I wanted to use, and it let me join parties again,

This has to be a bug.

I believe you will find your answer here,

You are running a Geforce 840M, which im guessing is a laptop if im not mistaken, you may have to tell the x64 client to use your 840m, as chances are its using the intel on board one, there are fixes for this issue in the above link.

TD Meta - is anyone still trying?

I recall a good amount of threads bemoaning Teq when that fight was updated, even mentioning that it might be a guild-only thing in order to get the organization needed, and now it’s difficult to fail it even with rapid organization in an overflow.

HoT hasn’t even been out for a month. It’ll normalize.

This is not even close, when Teq was introduced there was no other major meta in the game to go to that required so many people to do it, this is why it go so much attention, if Teq was introduced now to the game as brand new, and required a few events then a 60+ minute wait to spawn, NO one would be there.

You cannot compare anything pre HoT to this TD meta, like I stated before you just have to look at the LFG tool,

LFG – AB Meta
LFG – VB Meta
LFG – DS New map
LFG – SW
LFG – CoF farm

There are just so many events now that are done to completion that reward you for the time spent on them, but as it still stands TD takes 2 hours and failed in 6 minutes, this is why no one is there trying to beat it, and 99% of the players will never get onto a map that an NA/EU community is trying to organise,

If the 1 armor item was not locked behind this event, there wouldn’t be a single complaint on the forums about it, Anet messed up here, and messed up badly, and as usual are now ignoring the problem,

I sometimes wonder when these posts are made do Anet look at all the complaints and go, well 1 person said they beat it, so it must be ok, lets just ignore that.

Guys, don’t lose hope. I strongly believe Arenanet won’t ignore empty maps.. It is 25% of the new open world pve they made, they want to, and will keep it healthy.

How so though, Anets own Megaserver system is completely up the left at the moment, last night in DS it say the map was empty and move to another one, even though there was an entire Map Zerg starting the Meta, 1 hour later while fighting the final boss, the map just closed and kicked everyone out, if they are relaying on the MS to tell them what maps are full and are not full, we have no hope.

They have made a great expansion, but the problem that has always been Anets downfall is the silence from pretty much the entire Dev team.

You need to find a decent guild, there’s no reason why you should have to pay people gold to navigate a frigging map. I my self just joined a really decent guild with helpful casual/ hardcore players (meaning folks that play a lot but don’t min max like DnT). Feel free to look me up and I’ll have our GM Vayne throw you an invite, you might be familiar with with him he’s got quite the forum presence; he’s active during off ours as am I (though I’m just as much of a HoT noob as you are). Look we can’t expect ANet to fix any problems over night, they’ve got a work force of 300, but our guild likes to find solutions to work around those problems so look us up Wardens of Destiny ( I hope I know the abreviation is WoD).

Was this actually about this topic or a guild recruitment topic for Vayne’s guild? You almost sound like him too, is you on an alt account?

Anyway, moving threw the map is no an issue, I did it with 3 zerker classes without any great issues, the problems that people are having is trying to get an item locked behind a meta that no one wants to do.

What’s your point? As I said there’s still lots of people that haven’t made it that far. Auric basin is very populated. Many of them will be moving on towards the rest soon. The ones in dragon stand are those who rushed through everything. The people that are actually playing through at a normal pace are still catching up.

I think you’ll find a lot of people have indeed got to this map, and bypassed it at rapid speed, you just see more in AB because the meta is more rewarding there, and if you ever get to DS you will see 5x as many people there as VB/AB together.

Can we move the Mentor tag to a later tier?

What difference does it make what Tier it is on, even if they put it on the last Tier people would still get it superfast due to the,

CoF P1 Farming Mastery points that Anet said was OK.

The number of people ive seen running around with 100+ Mastery level is a joke, you can easily spot the players who are playing the game, vs those who have spent a week in CoF grinding.

in your opinion what is the best pve class

There really isn’t a best and worst in PvE, they all have pro’s and con’s it just comes down to how well you play them,

The other problem is, some people will tell you xyz is crap and abc are musts, because of speedclears, its evident from many posts on these forums, Anet apparently are trying to make all classes viable in the new raids to get away from the LF xyz class, full zerk 20k AP’s or go home.

Today it just struck me, I’m no longer having fun in GW2. I have no desire to log on and play. And thats entirely from the TD map.

I just want the meta to get my mistward headpiece, and it seams such a simple goal, but night after night, I spend hours trying to get it done, organising maps etc, and it fails each time, sometimes close, sometimes not.

But this is more effort than a raiding guild….and its just not fun.

I’ll give it a few days, see if I summon any enthusiasm, but I really hope anet sort this kitten out.

I’m rapidly getting to this point too, they locked this item behind a heavily broken meta that no one attends to, I don’t have time to sit on the same map for 6 hours HOPING the GW2 community will zone in and organize the map, and pugs will never cut this, whats even more depressing is ANETS complete lack of silence on the issue, regardless of the many topics that are appearing about this map,

Those who are saying you should have been there the first week, well not everyone wanted to burn threw all the content in the first week, why should we be forced to push threw the game so fast just to get an achievement/item,

Then we have those who say look how long it took teq to be beaten bla bla, this is completely different, this broken Meta spawns every 2 hours, its also competing with other very very popular metas at the same time, be it SW, VB, AB, DS, no one in there right mind would go and do a broken meta event with a massive failure rate for no rewards when they can go to one of the others and succeed and get rewarded,

I now feel Anet will just ignore and bury this problem, as they have changed the focus to raids now, so they have no incentive to even look at the TD map, there has not been 1 RED tag reply to any of the multiple topics on this issue.

For those who didn’t see it, here is another topic on the problem.

How many quit playing WvW since new maps?

There are more battles on EotM than the boarder lands now, I went into the BL today and 3 of us where running around for near 25 mins and we didn’t see 1 other person on the map, WvW is dead for me, ill just run EotM with the WvW guild, it see’s way more action.

Lets face it, for 3 years we didn’t really get any attention given to WvW, it wasn’t really a money maker for them, I feel sorry for the Dev’s who designed these new maps, as now they just sit empty, and the worst thing was, the people who tested the maps for Anet before launch, told Anet the maps where far to big, and they gave us them anyway,

Like I said in another post, if you are WvW player looking for fights, either go EB or EotM or don’t bother playing.

When you reach the last platform you have to jump from to enter the Maw battlefield.

This, have everyone on your party run to the last platform where the enemies are, kill them if needed until everyone catches up, then run as a team down the last part, we did this the other day, and its best if you target and burn down each enemy as fast as possible, we did it with about 30 seconds to spare.
