Guild Wars 2

They did fix this, where is someone Alt F4 you still get the loot from them, but like with the WvW lag, when they released a new patch, the patch undid this.

So I think players can Alt kittenain whenever they know they arent good enough.

There is a huge difference between what we want, and what the dev is willing to do.

The list for what we want in WvW is huge, and we’ve already had 3 CDIs where we were able to “voice” our opinions.

The other day I walked around EB as a quaggon with a bawoon!

Of course there are times when enemy players with run around with you, even transform into something and walk around with you.

But then you also have the red=dead players. Even though you clearly pose no threat, even to a rabbit; not only will one enemy player jump at you with everything they have, I’ve had instances where 20+ have detached themselves from their zerg train just to kill little old quaggon.

You are a loot bag, nothing more, especially in such instances

If in a keep or tower, they are red.
If outside away from a tower, or next to a tower that isnt being attacked, then ask.

But the usual attitude is the former Red = Dead
WvW is WvW, it is not sPvP, dueling, or even GvG.
Anything goes in WvW, and thanks to very few fixes, and even approval of playstyles by the mods, anything really does go, be it legit or not.

So next time you come up to someone who complains, tell them they should go to a quiet area where players rarely go, there are plenty dotted around each map. They can duel in peace and without interruptions there.

This, so much this please with the sound of Dennis saying “Ah ah ah, you didnt say the magic word!”

Better yet make it a finisher!

With Season 2 of the Living Story starting in a couple weeks, I very much highly doubt that WvW will see anything for quite a while

Unless you count the LS invading WvW like it did last season.

Funny thing though, I’ve had to authorize this account, but my main account doesnt ask for it. Surely it should have if my IP changed???

Just had to authorize my login, but when I went to my email and clicked the link it says Failed.
Then when I go back to retry the link I seem to have received another email, but click that and still fail.

Each time I tried to log on I have been sent around 5 emails each and it seemed to always fail.

I have logged it, the link from the first email you should get should work, but this problem with sending 5 emails out needs fixing.

Spying is a breach of the ToS.

Interesting interpretation, how did you arrive at that conclusion?

Guild Wars 2 Rules of Conduct: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-rules-of-conduct/

Rules of Conduct

1. While playing Guild Wars 2, you must respect the rights of others and their rights to play and enjoy the Game. To this end, you may not defraud, harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress and/or unwanted attention to other players. This includes posting insulting, offensive, or abusive comments about players, repeatedly sending unwanted messages, reporting players maliciously, attacking a player based on race, sexual orientation, religion, heritage, etc. Hate speech is not tolerated.

Spies do not respect the rights of other players, or let them enjoy the game.
They are there to spy, and hence cheat, giving the enemy server an unfair advantage; thereby ruining the game for players on both sides!

Well in the other post we saw a few posts where people did want new maps, no matter what, and dont care it they are bugged, unbalanced or untested.

So how do you feel? Are you tired and bored to the current Borderlands map we’ve had to 2 years now? Do you want something new?

Of course we want dedicated WvW maps, but others have said they would even be happy is the devs just took a current PvE zone map and threw a few towers and keeps in the corners and let us at it without testing or anything! That’s how bored we are!

So post is you want new WvW dedicated maps, and post what you think about the PvE converted maps, would you like to try them yourselves if the dev gave us them?
Or do you have other suggestions for a map? Or would you rather wait a year, or 2, or even longer! for dedicated, tested and “balanced” maps?

LMAO! Didnt even realise, get so little loot and gold in WvW that only a few people have noticed this reduction of gold! Amazing!

BRING BACK REPAIR COSTS! I WANT MY GOLD!!

Oh wow, I wonder, has anyone checked if PvE rewards have been halved as well? If not this could cause a big puppy-storm, WvW players having yet more proof that we are being treated as second class players…..

PvE converted maps would be interesting to test out.

But when it comes to balance, I guess you are trying to balance each BL. But if you have an unbalanced map, but then each BL has that map, isnt that balanced?
I mean even if one map is unbalanced, on one BL Green will have the advantage, in another Red, and in the third Blue, so each server has the same advantage on their own map, which balances itself out.
You might argue that people will stick to their own BL to take advantage of their own map, but then those player who want a challenge will go to other maps.

But as you can see, players want new maps, and they do not care if they are unbalanced, they just want something new to keep them interested in this game.

DevonCarver.5370:

Hopefully you will find more you like in future updates and we’ll continue to add to the game.

Always been hoping.

DevonCarver.5370:

That means we will test the heck out of it and do everything we can to make sure it is even more awesome than the current maps. I realize this isn’t a timeline or an answer to where are more maps, but it’s as much as we can give you right now and it hopefully gives some insight to the size of the task. As I said, as soon as we have more to talk about or show, you will hear it.

It has come to the point that as WvW has not received real updates since launch that we ourselves would not mind doing the testing.

The current maps arent even balanced even after the testing done on it, so I doubt we’d mind unbalanced and untested ones, as long as it means we get those maps faster! The current maps are so old and boring now, we wont mind it.

Let us do the testing, actually LISTEN to our feedback from our testing, and get WvW rolling like it should!, instead of doing what you did to my main account as listed in my signature

Not only will this keep current WvW players interested in the game, it will interest WvW player who has already left, so you’ll get more people back in the game. The more people the more testing done, the more maps you can release and the greater variety of rotations.

You know the WvW is already hostile towards you (not our fault), so throw us a bone already, even if it isnt a complete bone.

Or give us the tools to make maps ourselves, we can submit them, you can review them, and then we can test the ones we all like. You know crowd-sourcing is all the rage these days, and I am sure there are a few players who’d love to give such a thing a go, to actually contribute and save this game!

Fuzzion.2504:

Spying is a breach of the ToS.

No it’s not, been approved by a mod claiming that they cannot force people to play a given way. If that person’s playstyle is to spy on another server, then that is their playstyle. Anet will not stop playing the game the way they want to play it

Of course this ruins the game for the other 299 players on the map (assuming around 100 max per server) and so violated the Rules of Conduct, but they refuse to do anything about this or similar actions.

I think you need to change it to say that some Gold League members should move to Bronze.

I’ve been in each league and I think Silver is the best place to be for a mix of everything.

Gold is all too much zerging, Bronze has some zergs during peak times, small groups other times, but then dies later on, Silver has zergs, small groups most of the times, and less dead times.

Cefiro.9372:

I find WvW a bit like the search function on the GW forums.

Found 0 results??

Victory For Kittens.7806:

Easy, it’s a 3 months old post, don’t expect anything from them.

Ha ha ha, didnt realise this was a necro’d thread, nice one

idk, being able to res the lord giving the time your group/zerg needs to get there seems kind of an OK thing if you ask me.

Of course, when you have a dozen warriors, who banner one after another, it is that that is unfair.

So keep the bannering of the dead Lord, but limit it to 1 or two times within a given period of time. eg twice in 5 mins

They already told us it takes 6 months to create and balance a WvW map.

We should therefore technically have up to another 4 maps available to us now……

Note these should be WvW Borderland maps, not EOTM. And even if you include that, that is still only 1 map.

Chris.3290:

A while ago now, a ANet representative interrupted a GvG and told them incorrectly that they were violating the game mode.

Also when was this? How can they be telling people how to play when they allow one player to ruin the run for all player when that single player builds a tonne of useless siege on a map, and then use the excuse that they cannot stop different play-styles different players use?!

Megaservers mean less PvE servers for Anet to provide = lower costs.

Now thanks to people leaving the game, mainly due to no WvW updates, anet have lost a bit of their income.
Some WvW refuse to buy anthing with real money on the gem store until WvW is fixed and given new content.

And you know when the above happens thousands of WvW players will come back to see how things are like. And if they like what they see they will continue playing and support the game.

When EOTM was released, a lot of people came back, but they quickly saw what it really was and then left. As you said, Anet just have to do the right thing. The first being listen to the community.

Ah legendaries, remember when you were in WvW and you saw a player showing off their legendary. They died in seconds

Having a legendary in WvW just meant that you were a PvE scrub with no skill and so an easy loot bag kill. I felt sorry for them.

Also please give a thought to us water eles in WvW, we’re the Kenny of Kennys in WvW, healing our groups so that they can get all the loot, whilst we are left with scraps

Only a full time water ele will hear in WvW “OMG the loot keeps on dropping! I got 50 bags in that fight!”, the water eles looks around and finds one spike on the floor.

Steelo.4597:

There was a long long thread in the german section like a year ago or something about the same problem on a german server.. Anet’s stance is basically everyone is allowed to play the game like they want.. if they harrass other people its ok with Anet. If they do their very best to spoil the fun of the whole server its also ok with Anet. A million reports wont change a thing, its politics.

The problem with this is that it completely violates the Rules of Conduct……………………………………………………………….

One person can ruin the fun for 199 other players, assuming 100 player cap per server. How is this fair and an acceptable style of play?!

The community isnt the problem, what you see now is the result of the devs and mods ignoring the WvW community for 2 years.

What else would you expect? For us to remain nice and happy whilst seeing only PvE content being released every 2 weeks, whilst WvW gets scraps, if we’re lucky, once or twice a year?!

If this was a subscription mmo players would have left long long ago. The fact it’s still free to play gives this gave a second chance, but only if the devs put more work into WvW. PvE and sPvP are not the way forward. The community has known this since beta.

15 vs a zerg taking back SM. 10:45 in is my favourite part.

I remember reading that it takes 6 months per map to develop and balance out.

Sop technically if we had a real WvW dev team working on things we should already have 4 new maps, but…….

A much requested and needed update, but it’s still just a quality of life update, not an actual WvW update

The pull skill is awesome. I dont play mesmer myself, but it’s always funny seeing people thinking they are safe either on a tower wall or above the mesmer on a cliff; and then all of a sudden they are pulled off the wall and down into the zerg or off the cliff to fall to their death.

So some people are saying give 500 tickets to everyone, problem solved.

Well then what was the point of the tournament???

Wait hang on a second! Are you telling me that some people still have not received the correct WvW reward from season 1?!!!!!

If so, whats going on???

I would tell you how, but they are watching us, so I sent you a PM instead. :P

And let’s not forget that it has to be balanced over a 24 hour period.

But you cant go up to a player and say “You can only WvW from 2pm to 4pm, all other timeslots are reserved for other players.”

There are player who play regular times, and other irregular.

The real issue is the structure of WvW, of which we have no control or say.

TBH had more run in the last 2 days in WvW than in the entire 9 weeks of the tournament. Silver league server fighting against a gold league server.

But yes, WvW is getting a bit boring now, nothing new, nothing changed, nothing fixed, nothing but zerging zerging zerging all tourny long.

And how do you balance populations for WvW?

You cant trust the recruitment messages, people want to win to get more loot, and they dont care if their zerg is double the size of the other, or they zergs runs 20 hours a day whilst the other only lasts 8. That’s why a certain server got 2v1 throught this season because no one likes bandwagoners.

Besides it’s not up to us to fix and balance WvW.

This game is so awesome. I just can’t stop playing!!!

Did u just start playing?

From the sounds of it I would say yes. give it a few months, they’ll be singing the song of our people soon.

Wow so many negative comments guys….

Here’s a video to put a Smile HD on your face:

Wow indeed, a red post!

And who is this Jessica person, we havent even had an intro post from them yet…..

Aye, we were blue for almost the entire season.

I’d hate to break this to you, but this isn’t war. It’s a video game.

True, but ‘spying’ could be part of the game and even if you decide it isn’t, it will be impossible to prove it.

The only difference is that when you find the spy you cant do a thing to stop them anyway, just like all those unknowns breaking down gates in full view of everyone.

Yes this is known to happen, when max siege cap is reached, if someone places another siege an older built siege is despawned even if it has 50+ mins left on it. I dont know if its a random siege that goes or if the oldest one that goes.

I think there should be personalised golem prints, those who do golem rushes,, 1 persons cannot controls 20 golems.

We have guild siege, but again this should be made so that only guild members can only use that guild siege as well.

Too many times have people parked their golem near spawn, even out of view, yet a noob will find it and run off to kill a raptor with. Some siege should be locked out and should be decided by the person who throws out the print.

Ah yes, the nameplates.

Remember back when we all started WvW; zergs would hide behind a large rock thinking the enemy could not see them, and they were right, you couldnt see them but you could see their mile long nameplate

Things have already been suggested to the devs, but we’re still waiting for updates….

Sicarius.4639:

I found it rather amusing that certain servers had to resort to DDOSing our server TS whilst they simultaneously tried to take our waypoints on multiple maps.

I must say it was a highly effective method in doing so.

lol, disrupting enemy communication is a legitimate real-life tactic in wars; as with the spying and unrequired mass siege building, I believe they will say they are legit tactics in the game as well.

Note I dont condone it, in fact I think it’s unsportman-like for a game to go to these lengths, even to the point that it’s cheating really.
But what can you do expect do what most are doing, stick to your own guild ts and divide the server community.

Got a reset password request email for my main account, problem is that I didnt ask for it!

The link in the mail isnt one of those jibberish ones either….

Well patches are usually mainly pve, hopefully we’ll get some wvw stuff this summer. I do remember them saying something big was coming; or was that the april feature pack?

Orpheal.8263:

WvW currently seen as a game feature, makes only use of like 25% of its potential in the moment.

25% is being optimistic, WvW can be so much more, but required more time and effort put into it. Unfortunately all the time is going to Living Story, temp content which doesnt please the rest of us.

Really I dont think the devs look at this forum any more. I think the only ones on here from anet are the mods who are here to remove all negative comments, noone else.

idk, someone said the game is only like $14, perhaps some of us should buy a chinese copy and show them how much “fun” we have here in EU and NA….

Let’s put it this way, in the last CDI the host for the WvW one basically thought he got everything he needed after 3 days.
The other hosts carried on posting regularly to their CDI threads for another 18 days after that!
The host for the WvW CDI had to be dragged back by another host, and even then we got a mundane reply.

Some of us have already started playing other games, even though that game is in early alpha stages atm!

We all warned anet, if you dont fix things or update things for wvw, you will lose players to other games. They refused to listen, simple as.
