Thanks, ANet! (more characters req’d)

Blackgate community has lit the welcome beacons. We are Open!!

And NOW Blackgate is OPEN!! Look us up when you get here. Join the fun!

Used in these situations:

• keep/tower supply capacity is not yet full, but building siege to prepare for defense and there are 1 or 2 of us doing the work. Too time consuming to run it all from the camp. Use 100 supply, pull tactic and get 100 back. No loss and siege is built for defense.
• keep/tower is not yet full, map is quiet, so why not get the supply to capacity? But, also if not full and the opposition is sniping yaks and flipping camps to prevent or slow the upgrade. Pull tactic every time it is off cooldown so that supply builds in keep. Build siege to help with defense, or be more secure once you’ve built siege knowing you have supply to use in the defense/repair should it become necessary
• when the zerg has run thru and significantly drained the keep of supply
• when you need that supply to repair walls and your defending zerg has run off with the keep supply to hit another objective rather than repairing the walls/gates.
• always leave enough supply for several disablers to be used by yourself and others.

When NOT to pull tactivator:

• when supply is full (no benefit)
• when the supply is less than 100 from full (wasted supply).
• when it is evident keep will flip – no sense leaving opposition any more supply than necessary.

As for the person yelling at you for using that tactivator, prolly having a bad day. Because it makes total sense to me to fill as much supply as possible, by as many means as possible, so that it is there when the attack happens. Depending on yak supply is an iffy thing when the opposition is active on the map. 100 free supply every 15 minutes is an additional way to ensure you have supply you’ll need for disablers, repairs and building defensive siege.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for asking and not just implementing. Appreciate very much the opportunity to dialogue here with the Devs and other WvW players.

1. Which option do I like? none of them.

However, the ‘broadcast system’ is part of the problem, not the server identity displayed.

Can we get a poll on whether to keep that broadcast system?

• in my face when it pops up – give me the option to move it or turn it off. I ignore it most times, anyway.
• gives me information I DON’T want – I know which server pairing took it by the color the object changes to – no need for a broadcast of any server/alliance/linking info.
• gives me the name of the objective when we use the directional information to refer to objectives – NE camp, SE Tower, Hills, Bay. Because “While the two borderlands maps are physically identical, the locations on them have different names.” So, the notice system gives me LESS information when I have to figure out where is: “The Godsword”, for example.
• doesn’t give me information I DO want – How many players took that camp? What is their guild tag? Which way did they head from there?
• doesn’t broadcast when we proc outnumbered buff and tell me HOW outnumbered we are: “You have the outnumbered buff. 25 players just entered map through Hills Waypoint”. Now, THAT is information I could use.

2 – What would you change about current proposals? – Do NOT broadcast guild names. We do not claim objectives at certain times on purpose – so that the opposition does not know we (guild) are on map. So, yea – no thank you. We would like to remain in control of whether to disclose our guild’s presence on a map.. We don’t want the system taking that out of our control.

3. Is there another proposal you’d suggest? -Get rid of the broadcast system altogether

Eliminate the broadcast system – some of the naming problem (what to display) is solved.

Looking forward to welcoming you to MAS guild and our WvW-focused community of player friends. Join the fun!

bumpity bump… and still hoping for a reply

Good to see you out strong on reset this week!

Watching and waiting for Blackgate to open so we can welcome you into MAS! Could be soon……

This is what the updrafts were like while we worked in Lost Precipice to claim our guild hall. Permanently on. Able to glide from one to another. No requirement to interact to make them work. BUT….once we claimed it, the updrafts turned off. Why????

We chose the Lost Precipice (almost ONE year ago) because of the gliding and yet we don’t have updrafts that support that gliding. It was obvious that they were needed because they were permanently on during the entire time we worked to claim the guild hall. Being permanently on allows us to glide continuously from location to location, from level to next level. Why are they OFF? Why do they require an interact? We know the code exists because we experienced it. So, why after one full year, are they STILL off?

Please turn the updrafts back on as many of us requested almost ONE FULL YEAR ago.

Thanking you in advance of the one year anniversary of our guild hall .

One of the best small groups to run with! Or stalk……<3

We welcome all to join in the fun! No need to stalk.

Shout out to all our KnT friends!

Simple solution – create a log with account info recording those who activate the tactic, not unlike those available at the Guild Treasurer and Guild Bank. The log can be read by anyone, so no issues with ‘authority’. A little audit trail would deter a lot of trolling and we know the mechanisms to provide the trail already exist.

The log would allow the servers to see repeated use of the same account at inappropriate times, or the account that placed the tactics on cooldown just before that ‘opportune’ attack with the 10 golems. It would also allow for followup and instruction of new players to WvW who activate those tactics ‘just to see what they do’, not understanding the potential problems posed by placing that tactic on a cooldown.

Make the log available on the tab that reports the tactics slotted on an objective and their status, and therefore readable from anywhere on the map.

Those players who use the tactics appropriately, would not care if their account id were associated with its use. Those who aren’t playing with the best intentions, would be at risk of being found out and reported. The logs, along with a few screenshots, could be used to support the report of misuse sent to ANet.

Thank you for the return of the Alpine Borderlands!

Please fix this terrible exploit and soon!

Adding my 2c in here to say how highly we respect and appreciate KnT in Blackgate. MAS guild always enjoys running on map with this team of players who know what they are doing and work well with other teams. Recommended you check them out!

X T D.6458:
