they need to take my advice and break the link between your PvE server and your WvW server. In fact rename all the WvW servers to totally different names than PvE uses.

Then at the start of every season wipe the slate clean and force every player to pick the server they want for that season. Pick the same one or not, up to you. Make a new group of friends every 7 weeks. Get to go up with and against all the guilds across GW2.

You want “variety” Anet? there ya go

This is a very interesting idea. I think that splitting WvW from PvE could really make a huge difference in populations. Anet could basically make less worlds, becuase obviously there are less people in WvW than PvE. Each world would have a higher population and better battles over all.

With that being said, I think it should be implemented in the same way it is now with only one server. Once you pick you server. You stay there or transfer from gems (Or just locked in) I don’t like the idea of people being forced to repick servers each season only due to the fact that the people who would like to play with each other every season may not be able to due to the fact that the server could possibly fill and be forced to chose another.

Yea kind of rethinking that part myself – original idea was since WvW server would no longer be tied to PvE server, a WvW-only transfer option would be available and would cost less than a full transfer. WvW-only transfers would take effect upon next weekly reset (can’t transfer during a matchup). WvW-only transfers would not be available to T1 you’d have to do a full transfer at full cost to get to T1. WvW-only transfers would be free to T8.

how about this? every server has wvw part.
making up numbers: desolation (10k players), desolation wvw 1k players.
this would limit the amount of players on every wvw server. and you can only log in wvw when you choose your wvw world in login screen. of course you can be on desolation pve server and millers wvw server.

this would make wvw servers have spread out population, have limited (same) amount of players, and have reserved places for wvw players only.

now we have stacked population, and different percentages of overall population playing wvw on different servers.

i like how 2 superior rams drop a gate atm. with golem mastery, we wont even need a gate… i mean, what will be the response time to come and defend a keep now? 37 sec?

is this what people call power creep? getting things so buffed that actual content becomes meaningless?

where is this idea, that wvw numbers are growing, coming from?

I’m not doing WvW without ascended weapons/trinkets because I refuse to be at a 15% disadvantage (math in threads on this forum). This also deviates from what was promised.

Lots of people do WvW with upleveled characters. I’m in a similar situation as you (I’m nowhere close to having an ascended weapon) but I do WvW regularly. You can also do PvP if you’re looking for perfectly even fights. Those happen so rarely in WvW that I don’t think you’ll ever really notice stat disparity. Perhaps at some point in the future, there might be content so hard that you’ll almost have to have ascended gear, but I’m not seeing it so far.

Obsession with max gear seems similar to the playstyles you’re condemning.

First, I understand that people do WvW with upleveled characters. The thing is that this has always been possible and people accept that they will be weaker. Because they get stuff out of it and they get to level.

The only reason I’m concerned about max gear is that it will very quickly become necessary if ANet continues on its current path. Wait until you come across someone with full ascended weapons and trinkets, who is doing 15-20% more damage to you. Sounds like it’ll be a fun and fair fight, lol.

Oh wait. WvW will never be balanced so it’s okay to have ascended gear. Carry on.

20% more damage because of +4 power on an ascended item? nope sorry. I’ve 1v1 against multiple characters wielding ascended weapons (i have none) and i will assume if they put in the effort for weapons that they had jewelry as well. Yet i defeated them as easily as I always have. Not to mention you can get ascended weapons IN wvw for FREE without crafting. Its strange how your so obsessed with max gear yet simply expect it to be handed to you (spvp says hi)

Go look at the math posted in this section of the forum. Or not, I don’t care. But don’t misrepresent the power of these items.

Your anecdotal evidence, btw, proves nothing.

And your blatant sense of entitlement proves what? I’ve had no problems in wvw since ascended weapons. Your tearful boycott serves what purpose? You wont play without BiS gear, but you wont do anything to earn it? Good luck with that

gold seller?

i agree completely with OP.

also i might add that this kind of mentality from people that answered hit thread is what got gw2 to where it is. i wonder why anets response about this wasn’t the same as in wvw forum…

K check this out.

1 person just got stomped ( you can see dolyak finisher)
1 person is downed (you can see by the downed symbol above the corpse)
both of them are on your team ( because the downed symbols are blue)

You can see the enemy spirit ranger has his ult spirit up in case anybody on his team dies (unlikely because 2 of your teammates are already down)
And there is a mesmer on point which might mean backpoint is open (if of course you knew mesmer was playing backpoint defender)

This is a lot of good information, that can be gathered from a rather poorly positioned camera angle. I’m not saying it’s perfect, but I don’t think it’s much to complain about as a player. As a viewer? sure but honestly I dont give a kitten about the 200 people watching spvp. E-sports is over lets just have fun.

can u do that in 0.5 sec?

what i need:

WVW: commander XY on EB

it would be totally exciting running around stumbling upon red named player!

Noobie.1073:

Haven’t played this yet, but honestly, I don’t really care for the buff too much. I honestly think it’s just a way to devise for more strategic play. A server would have to control 3/5 these locations of power for 2 minutes or more for stat to be effective and on top of it, people need to be there to continually defend/attack or buff runs out and temples revert to neutral. Plan effectively and buff will almost be non-existent. Again, this is my opinion so no need to flame me. I’m sure it’ll be different once I actually play, but this is just my initial reaction.

yes. just like when i come online and see enemy server have everything T3 and with WP’s on all maps. its called time to reset. but now i can also have fun resetting bloodlust before i start resetting T3 everything. this is a thing of planing and strategy idd.

also i really hope bloodlust buff stacks with AC dmg. that would be gr8. pls make it so anet.

i didnt have the opportunity to log in after the patch. is wvw unofficially dead?

this weeks desolation vs sfr was the worst i experienced. looks like sfr is stronger then ever. having WP’s all over bl’s and EB in the morning…

im just saying… it has begun. and a lot of people are right when saying it is already over. wvw has no chance.

food for thought: what will happen to outmaned server when stronger server has all 3 bloodlust buffs? should they even get out of spown to get farmed (this time for points), or would it strategically be better to just keep the 650 tick every 15 minutes?

yes

this is the best idea ever. also make outnumbered stats stackable if your server is outnumbered on multiple maps.

but they already said they dnt want people to rage at other players joining map and making outnumbered buff gone:(

unfortunately it wont happen. your point is good nevertheless. it will make strong stronger.

i read somewhere that q is random…

maybe they should introduce cash shop item giving you 20% crit chance on getting in wvw?

how hard can it be to cap pvp arenas to 20 or 25 players instead of 10?

i think this is where you guys should start pushing. maybe go to pvp forum and start asking devs for that option.

Pimpi.7843:

I have a link to the stream video, and the new buffs gives 1 War Point for every stomp you do, per stack of bloodlust buff. in a GvG there are mainly 20 vs 20 and when in one fight 5 guys get stomped you can get up to 15 points for that, which are equal to holding 5 camps for one tick.

who would organize a gvg against guild with 3 bloodlust stacks?

nobody said anything about baning. what comes to my mind is some kind of DR for killing the same person in short time.

is this really happening. how old is OP?

here is an option: quit dailies, dnt quit game…

Straegen.2938:

Garri is an exception because that waypoint is sweet.

this is the point. maps have no strategic points to hold. if anet thinks people are gonna defend for points or server pride or for permanent finishers or better loot they are wrong.

why i would defend craig would be because without holding craig, enemy server can take garri, and while i hold craig garri and whole north pard of map is closed to them.

who would build towers 200m from strategic choke point!?

lets not forget that other parts of the game are suffering.

either i skip new stuff or i skip wvw (dungeons) or whatever else im enjoying.

why not just have every third hit goes off instead of 33%?

please put the booth up. they were right next to each other!!!

this is the most epic ending i could have imagined. too bad its over.

this is maybe most depressing thread i read on this forum.

after reading it, i really have to ask myself a question: is this game gonna happen? i mean, i have been going for it since i loved what anet did with GW1. that game was unique. now i read people on forum defending what GW2 is, saying its completely different game. well one thing is sure… GW2 is not unique, so it can’t be anything else then a different game from GW1.

so back to beginning: is this game gonna happen?

do not change this!

i already bought 9th char slot for pvp asura character. if they change it i want my gems back.

i’ve been talking about this since release.

if i remember correctly it was in gw

how exactly do i feel about this map?

also make it so that any skill does 250 dmg

another one:

home keep gives buff to defending server…

i can already see it. vizunah zerging the lake points to get the buff before taking garrison. nice attempt of giving the zerg another advantage.

but how about this?

invulnerable walls/gates as long as point is not under control. so basically if you want garri, you need to hold point that is corresponding to garri. imagine water gate sealed. and the point is at water gate. it would make defenders close to it and would be easy for them to take it (making attacking force leave some people behind to defend). on the other hand, if defenders try to take it and suceed, attackers will need to call reinforcements, making the main zerg attacking the west/east gate split up again, or even leave the gate and come to help. they would be close to it also, but getting back to raming will take time.

another one:

how about garri being invulnerable unless east and west towers are under control. bay unless briar under control. hills unless lake…

how about this also:

move east and west towers on the actual spot where you go to north part of map. who makes towers 200m away from strategic choke point?

any of those “how abouts” or a combination.

thoughts?

lol

i hope someone at anet is reading this thread. i think the points (or lack of them) is not really important here. what is important are the feelings expressed, that are almost unanimous.

wvw players are really not satisfied with what is going on here.

can it be fixed?

uf… this doesnt sound good at all…

i honestly dont know what wvw team could promise to make community feel better about wvw.

i wish you luck. wouldnt like to be in your shoes right now:)

PS. feel exactly the same as everybody else.

Im Mudbone.1437:

And it appears ANET condones this behavior, I have never participated in these zerg trains for that reason.

this is simply no true. dev said they are gonna make finishing event more rewarding then failing.

i remember in BWE1 that people complained they were ending up in different overflows then their party members.

BWE2: fixed.

how hard can fixing wvw pt options be?

i forgot there is caping thing still in pvp.

what i get is healing when ooc. this would keep the pressure on thief. make them use stealth strategically, not at will.

anyway… just a thought.

how about getting out of combat on 3 (5 or whatever) seconds cooldown when enemy enters stealth to keep him engaged…

Magnetron.5823:

Aw seems i cannot play for the next 72 hour, because some nice person decided to report me for inappropiate language.

Be ready Desolation, every slightly bad word will be reported when im back.

im sorry to hear that magnetron. sieging will not be the same without your experienced advices (dropping waterfields when facerubing undefended towers for example).

i hope you get back to us soon.

it was advertised as one time thing so i hope they dont come back in game, since it would be a scam for all the people that bought them the 1st time

Tybald greedily went

i would think about making money for WP

i hope everyone gets baned here.

just keep the thread going so more people respond saying how awesome hacking is.

NO third party programs allowed!!!

read the rules.

Yes, ban people for using a 3rd party program to cure their nausea and dizziness preventing them from playing. And actually it’s not illegal to use third party software as long as they don’t automate gameplay or give you an unfair advantage. If the thing merely changes your field of view is not a bannable program.

go read wvw forum.

turn shaking camera off in options

i hope everyone gets baned here.

Monday Epic battle at Ascension Bay Vizunah Borderland.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnwYSH5DDSI

That was true WvW, forces of all three servers clashed. I know for Desolation there was INVI, GT and other guilds. I gues we kinda overblobbed the field

If you call this “true WvW”,….

no, no, no… “true WvW” is what sfr is doing. 60 man (not a blob, mind you. a nice small sniping guild squad) resetting morning True skill.

sfr complaining about blobing… seriously!?
