Guild Wars 2

Either or, doesnt matter, as long as the end result isnt spending all day clicking.

Arent we all tired of wasting possibly hours in front of the mystic toilet making superior rams?

Come on Anet, make superior siege a crafting item, that way with a click of a button we can make our stack of superior rams, and not waste hours clicking increasing our arthritis!

In fact it takes longer to create a superior print in the toilet than it does for one to be built in WvW! How is that fair?

If you agree please leave a comment, the more people who reply the more chances they will do it, when and if they eve read this thread.

Depends on what you like.

If you like WvW, then unless you join a WvW guild, you will bored quickly.
Not sure about sPvP, but you could play that for a while.

The only group this game caters to is PvE, so if you like PvE then it may be worth it. Though the PvE in this game is pretty lame if you ask me. The dynamic events arent anything special as they restarts within minutes of you completing them. TBH the old system would have been better if you ask me: find an npc with a mark over their head, click get quest.

I’ve played since launch and so have got my monies worth from the game, but whether you will almost 3 years into it, depends on the above.

Trolling on the forums is not allowed, the mods are keen on making their visitors sick to death with them.

Trolling in-game depends on how many players complain. A couple years ago a dev said that it’s OK for players to build useless siege, but last month a dev now says this is a bannable offense for anyone caught doing it.

Basically you cannot have fun the way you want in this game, you can only have the fun Anet want you to have.

Nope, in fact things are getting worse.

First of all we still have no release date.
Second, the WvW changes have already got player complaining. If anet still refuse to listen then all is lost.

I think this highlights the loss of players really.

All those players who are still here from launch, or even the last year will have all the masteries. But as players leave you are left with newer players.
But these new players have low WvW ranks and so fewer buffs, meaning they have a disadvantage when coming to WvW.

But lowering the mastery levels just means those of us with surplus points will get more surplus points! It’s a bad fix for a problem that doesnt really exist.

If anet want to improve WvW they should improve it, not come up with silly ideas which may ruin WvW for all!

I think the best thing would to add it to a crafting recipe.

First of all why wasnt this thread closed for being a matchup thread.
Second this is a thread from March why have you posted in it?!

Junkpile.7439:

Make EotM video. That would be awesome.

There already is one:

robotempire.2451:

Trick.9370:

Yay, something new is happening in WvW! We asked for years and years and finaly they delivered :P

How do they even kitten something up this bad? There weren’t even any flipping WvW changes in the patch!

That they are willing to tell us about.

There are some things they have never stated, several glitches, and map glitches have been slowly fixed but never mentioned.

There is also the fact they could be adding things to make the servers ready for the WvW map beta testing and HoT release.

Indeed this has been complained about many times since mega server was added. The system or cost needs to be changed.

As said, the only reason to move server now is to change WvW server. PvE players are thrown into a server and if a busier server get a free spot they are rewarded for accepting to move to that server.

It seems totally unfair that WvW players have to pay to get a better gaming experience, IF the server they want to move to isnt already full!

And when main WvW guild get bored or if too many players transfer to their server, they then feel like moving to another server, and their old server plummets down the ranks; take SoR for example, was rank 3 now fallen down to rank 17.
Who wants to spend 1800 gems only to find themselves back down in bronze after a few months and needing to spend another 1800 gems to move to another more active WvW server!

coglin.1867:

Sure I did.

1. What’s the point of going to the forums if you do not use the “dev tracker” to se what Anet post have to say?

2. It was on the Blog.

3. It was on reddit.

4. It was on dulfy

But sure, lets post some irrational claim of transparency, and blame Anet because you, personally do not know something.

1) Devs dont post about WvW
2) Blogs isnt about WvW
3) Reddit?
4) Wasnt doing guild missions.

;)

Do you seriously think many of the remaining WvW players will keep up to date on forums and blogs which for the past 3 years have had almost nothing to do with WvW?!

Isnt every PvD server and attack guild? :P

If you ask me a real attack guild is one that doesnt care much about he objectives and hunts down the enemy zerg

Show of hands, who knew this happened?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Guild-Wars-10th-Anniversary-Contest/first#post4999769

I didnt :P

Not forgetting that apparently some say siege weapons themselves take up one player slot. So the more siege you have the fewer players can get on. Not sure if that’s true or not though.

DoctorWunderbar.5037:

Lack of posts is a terrible argument.
The position requires being able to parse information

Is it? Then how does one prove to be active on the forums?
Same with in-game activity, people complained about Marmatt’s stats.

Yes an EOTM K-Trainer could have high stats as well, but that is why it would be better to allow the community to decide.

But one things for sure, we need someone who’s active on both.

Do we have a specialist yet?

They have been selected, emails were sent out yesterday.

How do you know?

I applied, and recieved this email. http://i.imgur.com/OV0rcV7.png

I’m sad I did not get the title, but I am sure who ever they selected is up for the task.

Alt account? Cos even you only have a total of 11 posts in 5 months. The only difference is that at least you posted in the WvW forums section

Again I have 4 pages worth of posts in 3 months, again mostly in WvW, and again I do not meet the requirements to apply.

The fact that Gaile said she would keep your application on record yet again signals bad tidings for us, the WvW community. We need someone who is active both in game and in forums!

I think instead of the mods telling us what is good for us they should hold an election, people who want to be FS can apply and then let the players decide who they want.

Tseikk.9032:

How do you know?

They are either estimated dates anet gave them, or guesses they have made.

Either way it’s so that people pre-order from them first, rather than waiting for another company to add them and lose potential orders.

Also no way in hell am I paying full price for this “expansion”!!! Anet do not deserve it, make it £25 max and then I’ll consider it!

Lord Kuru.3685:

Michael Henninger.7451:

Match manipulation is a no-no.

And is spying considered match manipulation?

No it’s tactics

But what are they gonna do about TS spies? It’s the same thing but a 3rd party program.

coglin.1867:

Which also violates the rule in ToS about intentionally degrading other players experience.

Well if you want to talk about intentionally degrading the experience for other players, the list can go on and on until every player is banned.

I can tell you my guild no longer has much fun, we log on, 25-30 players, we run around the maps. We run into an enemy zerg of maybe 50-60 players, we fight, we win.

We run around looking for them again, we find them, they see us and run, they run like there is no tomorrow, they follow the saying Whoever falls behind gets left behind. They wont fight at all, they just want PvD and PPT.

They continue to play chicken for the rest of the night, or wait for us to go offline so they can PvD with little to no resistance.

So I ask you where is the fun for us?!
We want fights yet even being outnumbered by the enemy zerg doesnt give us enough fun cos they are a mindless zerg with no skill at all!
We’ll run into a serious WvW guild once in a while, but even then we win most of our fights to the point that the enemy WvW guild gets their mindless zerg to come help them defeat us!

We’ve even had enemy zergs move to other maps due to us wiping them so much! They simply refuse to fight at all!

So is this against the ToS? Match manipulation? Working as intended? Players playing how they want?
Because it seems the first answer from anet is they cannot control the way a player plays; but if enough people complain it becomes against the ToS and a bannable offense!

TBH I am getting sick with the state of WvW, and this game, and the constant reserve opinions of the mods.
It’s making the game worse and worse to the point that we cannot be bothered playing anymore!

My guild used to raid until 2am every single day!
Now we’re all logging off or playing other games by 11pm!!!!

I’ve still had lag at times. The 10% reduction hasnt fixed the issue, just made it less likely to occur; unless all 3 zergs meet up, then you are pretty much guaranteed lag.

The 10% reduction has had an affect on blob servers though from the looks of it. Gunnar’s Hold used to be stuck at the bottom of all the german servers yet now it’s jumped up 2 ranks.
So all that has done has showed yet again how the scoring in the current state of WvW does not represent the skills of the server, rather the population and coverage of the server.

But what we really need is an update from Stephen or a WvW dev, it’s been a month since any staff has posted on this thread regarding the lag.

Kasteros.9847:

Well to do so anet will have to give free transfer to everyone. Also Why to punish high tier players with even bigger queues when they want to play with their 3 years community?

The same can be said for low tiers wouldnt they too get such queues if you impose a 40% reduction, havent some of them been playing with the same community for 3 years?

But then you talk about community but look at how many times you yourself have moved, what does that say about your feelings towards any community? Very hypocritical of you to use that excuse.

As for GvG, that’s anet’s fault for not adding it.

And do you honestly think that there were not enough people on lowers servers to play WvW? At launch even they had queues, players transferred up because they wanted the easy wins.
Anet then made matters worse by adding WvW tournaments. Only the #1 server in each league got “the best” rewards. Players wanted those rewards and so moved up as well.
All this moving up is what cause the lower servers to lose WvW population; as well as WvW not being updated which lead many to leave the game.

Malediktus.9250:

Some people enjoy fighting with massive zergs. So this idea is terrible.

And I find the first idea terrible, it forces players up to fill servers rather than spread them out. Not everyone wants zerg vs zerg, even in T1 servers.

TBH I would wait until Heart of Thorns is released.

WvW is the only endgame thing to do as well as sPvP. PvE is terrible in this game, this from who used to be a PvE players in previous MMOs

Things in WvW have gone from bad to worse to such neglect that if WvW was a child you’d call social services!

We’re finally getting a replacement WvW with HoT, which some do not like the look of as it’s just seems like a clone of EotM, which has turned into a karma train map for PvE players.

Lag in WvW has not been fixed in 3 years, and just recently we finally got one guy to look into it, which resulted in a reduced population on all maps for all servers. And it seems this is their fix for it as, as uaual, we have not heard from them regarding the lag again since!

If you do want to buy GW2 wait for one of their 75% off sales, they’s had a couple in the last few months and they will have another before HoT comes out.

Put it this way, my guild usually does WvW for upto 8 hours everyday since launch! But this week it’s only been a couple hours with many going off to play DayZ or GTA5 or others games. I havent played GW2 all week except to grind the Silverwastes to see if I can get the beta portal.

tl;dr IMHO I would not recommend GW2 to anyone until after HoT is released.

azizul.8469:

how about :

T1 = reduction 5%
T2 = reduction 10%
T3 = reduction 15%
T4 = reduction 20%
T5 = reduction 25%
T6 = reduction 30%
T7 = reduction 35%
T8 = reduction 40%

…. lower tier servers wouldn’t be able to queue maps anyway, so bigger reduction on them make sense…

I think you have that list upside-down.

I would place a 40% reduction on T1 and 5% on T8

Why? Because it will force players to spread between the servers again rather than bandwagon in the top 3.

First, as gennyt said.

Second what if 2 people in the same house play but have friends on different servers?

Third, it’s still all anet’s fault for ignoring WvW for 3 years. Just live with it now.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-32654414

That’s right, anet apparently remove one hacker, one single hacker, who has been disrupting things, most likely for a certain t1 server, and the BBC write a non-story about it!

Seriously if the BBC wanted to write a real story they should come to this forum!

The future? Well if anet continue to do what they have been doing for the last 3 years this:

Can it? Obviously yes.
Will they? Eventually soon.
When? Check back in 2 years….

RNG in this game does seems little messed up.

One guy got 2 portals last night within a space of 20 minutes, I’ve been farming like 4 hours a day at least from day 1, still no portal.

But that’s RNG for ya…. :/

EOTM was originally supposed to be a queuing map for those waiting for their WvW queues to pop.
Not only that, it was supposed to be a testing ground for new features which could be added to new WvW maps.

Two things happened which ruined everything:
1) PvE players use the map for easy leveling, karma training, champ bad farming. It is so bad that there is a guild, [VotM] that is dedicated to 3-way Ktrains.
They are a multi server guild with commanders on all 3 sides. They regularly set up Ktrains and make it so that none of the 3 servers ever run into each other.
It is pure PvD.
2) Anet has never given much to WvW, and that includes new maps features or updates. Thanks to that nothing has ever been tested in EotM map because no new maps were ever made! (until HoT single replacement map) But even then the WvW devs did not ask for feedback or anything.

Just try going to EotM and try to do real WvW, and then see all the allies on the map shouting at you to stop ruining their Ktrain.

EotM is just a farce of a map now, where bored WvW guild who are bored of the same old matchups or are dominating their matchup to the point there are no enemies, go to EotM to ruin Ktrains and laugh at all those who complain.

What can we do? Who here in the top tier servers will be willing to pay 1800 gems to go to lower servers?

This is the making of both anet’s negligence and our own greed.
If you dont like it pay the 1800 gems, cos that’s the only way we’re ever going to get fresh matchups! By moving server ourselves!

Just a thought, anyone here who has received the Chest and have the beta portal item?

I have a funny feeling that if you were in the last stress test you cant get the portal….

That is, beyond a doubt, absolutely, 100%, a problem with your ISP.

Ah but that’s exactly what I was thinking as well and then I decided to play on my NA account and guess what, no lag at all!

I was having a better connection to the NA servers than the EU ones whilst I am in the UK!

Now a 1v1v1v1v1 map would make things interesting!

RapidSausage.4620:

this isn’t wow.
and ANet has always been good to their playerbase.

Which planet have you been living on? Have you seen the state of WvW?!

Got a friend who is completely banned from the forums, yet he still got the email for the last beta test.

Do I win?

skip to 09:00

Well as I posted on my thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Anyone-lagging-on-BT-ISP-tonight/first#post5028113

Absolutely no lag on my NA account, ping is around 160ms
Main EU account ping is 300ms with jumps to over 4000ms!
In the UK as well so that’s just ridiculous having better ping to NA servers!!!

Anyone been getting lag issues today?

I dont usually get much lag, in fact even when other guild members are complaining I hardly get any.
Yet today noone in my guild has lag yet I am having at least 20s worth!

I died ran back to the fight near NE camp, instant lag, nothing much happening, may char move enemy and allies doesnt.
I run away to try to get out of lag, make it to west hills when all of a sudden I get hit with so many attacks I thought the zerg was chasing me, but no there was nothing around me at all; a second later I and dead!

Thats how bad it is tonight!
ISP says connection to modem is stable, as usual. But I definitely think it’s an ISP issue, at least in this case.
Anyone with BT, wondering if anyone else is having the same?

Or maybe not, no lag on my NA account….

Yup you’ve not realised the point.

I think you fail to see the point of this thread…

Ralanost.8913:

Looks like someone goes on reddit.

What’s reddit???

Ralanost.8913:

Uncoordinated seizures. I can’t classify that as dancing.

But that’s what’s so fun about it!

There was no context for Scarlet’s either.

Didnt stop anet from showering WvW with PvE event mobs during the Scarlet Living Story, so why stop now :P

In fact there are still damaged towers in WvW just sitting there for no reason!

Why is it that these beta portal keys are only being dropped in PvE?!

Yet again anet is completely ignoring WvW and sPvP players!

Some of use spend a lot more time in WvW than farming in SW or DT, but here you are forcing us to do more PvE!

Dayra.7405:

WvW has zero impact to me as a EotM player, so I don’t care if it’s removed or not.

OK so you dont want all the buffs WvW gives everyone?
Press B and select Detailed Score, and then look at all the bonuses WvW gives to everyone else for our hard work! What do we get in return?!

Ark Bladesteele.2943:

EotM has zero impact to me as a WvW player, so I don’t care if it’s removed or not.

So when the enemy has no supplies or very low supplies in all the maps, how do you think they suddenly appear to gain some out of nowhere?!
They port to an EOTM instance, grab the supply from there and then port back.
Because there can be more than one instance they can have a couple thousand supply available if players ferry it over!

Dhemize.8649:

gennyt.3428:

Marmatt is that you??!! :O

Lol’d

OP you should bring all your friends and get them into WvW as well. Newer people are needed.

Funniest post I’ve seen all week, after more than 2 months of not doing their job!

Easy To Get Name.2941:

..I remember when the game was fairly fresh there were WvW groups ogin on all the time.. now I see none. Any explination for this?

Answer: Three years of nothing but neglect from anet.

But dont worry, as soon as HoT is released with the new WvW map, WvW should hopefully become a bit more active for a while.
