Guild Wars 2

I answered as civil as the self-entitled guy who started QQing about guilds leaving. If he would have addressed himself in a more mannered way…i would have also.

Yes it’s turning into Warhammer.

Summed things up ^ but ppl like to think highly of themselves SPECIALLY when it’s not the case, so don’t expect to much understanding. Let them live in their universe.

“Rangers spot every enemy they see on the minimap”

Can someone explain this to me? Since when do rangers see enemies on the minimap?

If they stop server transfers u think u gonna win? People who left won’t come back to a loosing server AND payed…but people would definitely pay2win = move to a wining server.

Servers that win will continue to win…servers who lose will continue to lose.

Stoping server transfers would be the very first and most basic step possible….next is fixing what they completely destroyed…and besides a handfull of winning servers..they literally destroyed everything else.

As i said..people will gladly pay2win and transfer to a winning server..but will never pay2lose and not have fun in their game.

Same here (and this is a 15 character message)

Why do we see “Blue/Red/Green Tower/Supply” on miniradar instead of the actual names? Don’t u think it would be a better idea if the actual name of the tower/supply would pop up if u hover the mouse over the appropriate icon on the miniradar?

It would make coordinating and such much easier, compared to pressing M…receiving a fullscreen map…looking around trying to zoomin/out just so u can see the name of the zone…

Till u do that u either lose time or u die running of a cliff lol.

Yea but the topic was related to sieges so i guess i kinda had to stay on topic.

Here try this. Go in EB puzzle…put some siege weapons in the starter area where players from all servers spawn…balistas…arrowcarts.

Enjoy a permanent lockdown on 2 servers.

In the borderlands puzzles it’s even easier..put balistas/arrowcarts at the waterfall…everyone that falls and has 10% life dies, and they can’t be shot without actually being on that platform.

Ah yes..the 24h matchups….such good days…those were indeed the days.

A week? We are talking about days even. That’s how bad it is.

You are so naive it’s not even funny. Don’t worry…we actually want u to move up..and u will face the exact same thing we did. The guilds u borrowed will ditch u for the next winning server faster then u can blink.

As for how i know? Doesn’t matter…u will just see. Enjoy your stolen win under the pretext “it’s because of your work”. Talk to u in 1 week. I have my empty bottles nice and clean just waiting for BG qq over the forums.

Enjoy your “hard worked” win.

They mean nothing…we can server transfer and make the last server be the first, but we won’t do that. “We” like winning..so the first server will constantly be first while the last constantly last.

Positions mean nothing while server transfers makes the “random” factor overrule every other indicator by a large variable factor.

@Narathkor: How can ppl willingly balance out when ppl only care about the winning side (that being the general mentality even if it’s bad)? It’s the worst decision/mentality ANet could chose. People are 90% lazy….they don’t want to work for their win…they want to receive their win.

Dragonbrand was stolen a win, out of a VERY balanced match (literally 4-5k difference between servers – mid week) and with work over 20k lead. Because of what happened (transfers of EU guilds and some from the third server we were matched up with) ppl are leaving the server for bigger ones. The mentality ANet chose didn’t balance servers..it made “the rich richer and the poor poorer by eliminating the middle class”. The only thing it encourages is greed4win.

Only thing they could do to possible fix a small part of this, is to fuse servers together.

@Cloud on what server are u and why do u play?

Same thing happening on our servers. Guilds are either quitting or transferring. We had a great matchup..but because of ANet’s either lack of experience or naivety in letting servers transfer free for SUCH A HUGE PERIOD OF TIME..when it should have been max 1 week, it literally destroyed servers. F

rom our actually awesome and well balanced wvwvw, where all 3 teams where something like 2-3k max score between eachother, a conglomerate of guilds moved to one of the servers last day and now it’s total domination by them. I do not blame them for this..if u see an advantage (server transfer), u take it. It’s all on ANet’s shoulders. They allowed this to happen. It’s tough enough to play against 99% invisible armies….now we have to play against server transfers in the last 2 days of the matchup.

I honestly lost literally every motivation i ever had to play the game. Even if u are a hardcore PvPer…how can u even continue having a positive mentality, after u get a great matchup…organize and coordinate long length’s of wvw time….work for your lead (even if small) …just so u can see it all crumble in the last 2 days because of the free iWin app ANet willingly introduced and fully protects.

I am sorry to say this but even for me the game is dead. The only ppl still enjoying this are the ppl who haven’t finished the “single player”. Other then that…the game is almost nonexistent.

@ANet..u haven’t listened even once to your hardcore pvp community. U still trying to fix skillpoints and dungeons but i have some news for u….for 3-4 patches u have been fixing them and they are still broken. We have said server transfers if kept alive for to long, it will kill WvW and whole servers, since the beta. U didn’t listen. U killed your own game. The only possible way to PARTIALLY fix this, when u activate pay2transfer, will ONLY be server merging. Whatever fix u will try to sugar-coat this major mistake u did, will never work on the long run. Big servers will remain big..while servers that got ditched will remain small (after pay2transfer). The real end-game of GW2 (wvwvw and sPvP, but mainly wvw) is nonexistent.

This was my last tip to u guys, but i am sure u will throw it in the recycle-bin like the rest, and add a very robotic answer like “we listen to every word u say”…yea….every company in the world (not just gaming) does that. Let’s be real for atleast 1 min…then we can go back to the pony land.

Has been said hundreds of times. Won’t happen….seems anet loves it this way. Eh..other games will come out…in the end this game was just another play2throw.

He didn’t switch because u were loosing like u should have today, but used the new ANet iWin device. He switched because of the overall atmosphere of the server in wvw…how u ppl bond together and so on. These are 2 different things.

Halseybr.9403:

? how you say we transfered 3 eu guilds here to win? The entire fight tonight & day was with Urge RQ and BBG allaince same people as everyday always on mumble doing our thing. We lost alot of people with kaide so do your research before posting such crazy nonsense o.O

I suggest u check gw2guru forums from time to time

Here i help u: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/68014-dragonbrand-vs-blackgate-vs-fort-aspenwood/

I won’t give u the exact page because that would be encouraging ppl to be lazy. I am sure u will be able to transfer someone to read it for u

DB here, not going to blame u or anything, gg on free transfering 3 EU guilds and half an alliance today so u can win.

ANet thanks for offering a competitive “sport” if u can call it that, one of the most abusable things possible imagined.

Next time when your favorite american football team plays..i pray a third team replaces the tired one in the last 10 minutes of the game and u lose it….because that’s how competitive sports are.

As for BG..again nothing against u…u practically used the tools offered by anet…even if those tools are the worst imaginable they are still tools fully and fanatically supported by ANet.

@Thesilentflute why not? Based on server logs u know how to estimate which server plays more at night and which plays more in the day (based on server time). You can also determine the average active WvW population + an error margin. Aren’t these 2 extra parameters enough? The dynamic system check thing already exists for the regular score and the matchup based on that score. U just need to tell it to matchup based on 2 other factors. It can be done..u just need to want to do it. It implies what extra costs?..besides the regular employee cost.

I am not saying it’s easy……what i am saying..is it’s not as impossible as ppl want to make it seem (or as costly). Compared to some of the solutions given here, mine just represent 2 global filters….i mean come on………………

Either guild or the commander system. Just follow the blue icon on the map to your death.

Why would anyone want to go to the loosing side? Working as intended.

If it seems like it’s broken or hack or exploit..then it works as intended.

Thief is one of the best overall classes in the game, what are u talking about?

The only way they can “partially” fix this will be to merge servers together. They won’t do that to try fixing it because they see it “as intended”, so yea it’s permanently broken.

- Redesigned into “u need dolyaks for supply…u need supply to capture stuff in wvwvw so…. the reward for dolyaks is map domination” – “redesigned”

- He will stay on the lower floor……

Yea…hacking is a valid tactic even in real-life wars….the side which is more technologically advanced can teleport around the battlefield. Seems legit….Snipers in RL can 1 hit kill and jetpacks can be used to carry orbs around.

Be happy chemical wars are still not present (mass d/c hack) altho i think it will be in an expansion.

That’s not a gaming GPU wtf u on? Jeez ppl have to start to learn how to pick their products. That is a graphics development GPU not a gaming GPU. It won’t have “out of this world” performance in games..not as much as the most expensive standard gaming GPU on the market….lol

With that money u could literally buy 3 top GPUs and connect them together. development hardware =/= gaming hardware. U are a salesman’s dream.

“Does arena net acknowledge this as an exploit or are they gonna stick to their answer of “all’s fair in love and war” for anything they don’t know how to fix?”

Pretty much this ^

Add to previos post: U know?! The “other side” as u call it..is not the only paying side. The guys who worked and wasted their time to cap the map are also paying customers. Try not to take just “1 side’s” defense. U need to be impartial. Take it another way…we cap at day and qq because of night…..they cap at night and qq about day. We are literally the same thing. There are no sides in this. Please atleast forward the suggestion i gave above about how to match properly.

“We feel that everyone should have the ability to contribute no matter what time of the day it is.”

Riddle me this then. If it should offer us the ability to contribute no matter what time, how are we supposed to contribute when our side is almost empty the other side has zergs to cap?

Fix your matching system. Introduce a parameter that checks online wvw activity and population of servers and match servers that have close indicators. Stop matching servers JUST based on score…even if it isn’t like that…right now it’s really the only thing visible by anyone.

ANet…you are literally and intentionally (and this is obvious for anyone with more then 5 minutes experience of any mmo) killing your own game leaving this free server transfer stuff. Even after u enable the pay2move…if u make it on just a few “gold to diamond then pay with diamonds” transfers…..this will continue because nobody will give u money. It has to be ONLY for real money or farmers will continue this.

STOP server transfers..it’s been a month now?! this is really getting out of hand in a very disappointing way specially coming from you.

Keep in mind you (yes you and only you) ruined severeal servers with this free transfer. Servers that had a decent population..after one of your “wvwvw machups” ppl started moving to the “winning server”. Is this really what your vision of wvw was? U promised us fun when instead u offer frustration.

Close this free transfer ****. If u want ppl to be sure of what server they chose….put your web developers to work and create a page with statistics on all the servers regarding wvwvw and other data. This way they can check BEFORE they even create a character.

Honestly…spawn camping….lackluster matching system…siege weapons in invulnerable zones which makes defending/upgrading towers/garrisons useless… cheats/hax/exploits everywhere….. free transfers so u can ditch servers for 1 winning team or do what those guys in the video did …thus killing wvw balance……………k Anet…u try having fun on that….or u all joined the winning server also via free transfers?

Listen ATLEAST ONCE to your customers and close the free transfer thing….i am not the first (by far) to ask u this.

Got about 2…both in wvw…both instant-salvage

+1 I fully support this. WvW is annoying as is, because of the matching system…having this “click2loot” system there that most of the times u don’t even pay atention to because U SHOULD pay attention to the battles and NOT to what drops on the ground, it’s just extremely annoying.

Only fear i have with event badges, is that we might get a lack of a certain type of class in fights because they are farming badges “pve” style. :<

But i don’t want to do sPvP why should i be forced to do something i don’t want because of ppl that want the game to be more and more easier for them. Be happy u atleast get automatically capped to lvl80. Go to any other mmo and u would be flamed in a biblical way for even mentioning (u as a low level) wanting to go to pvp. Here, in this game,u won’t find that.

I am sorry lowlevels…u have to work your way up….that’s how it is. ANet already gave u a huge bonus of being automatically capped…but that doesn’t mean you’re work stops there. U actually need to work to get better even if capped.

I can agree with bagdes for events, altho events are actually a more strategic/tactical investment. Problem is they are almost useless considering if u cap the Oger camp for example….. they are useless as “helpers” when a zerg attacks a keep. They die less then 10s.

As for reducing even more the medals….it has to be a global change..not just for 1 specific class…because each class has it’s pluses and minuses. A scenario would be to introduce a system that limits the medals u get / x amount of time for example…so if a ranger farms faster..he will reach that cap faster then u, while u will continue earning that cap….but that will result in players just coming to farm that medal-cap then exiting WvW.

My best friend plays a warrior and he has 0 issues O.o He actually is pretty close to me when it comes to farming medals (considering his class)….but he knows how to play his class well and more importantly knows HOW to pick his fights.

What are u proposing..differentiated drops based on classes?

If they make medals drop faster…that means those farm kings will get even more, then u will QQ about having less badges then Class X….not about nerfed drops.

How many times did u see ppl just running in a huge zerg with almost no one behind him to back him up? That is NOT how u get medals i am sorry. Ppl need to learn the limits of their class first then master what it has to offer.

I think it was the 4 biggest zerg-commanders are DISPLAYED on the map. As in..top4 with most members. Something like that

I prefer having lvl 80 well geared ppl with me rather then a zerg of “upscaled lvl10 ppl” who die 2-3 hits. U are upscaled but gear still effects u.

Not to mention that can be exploited….I can just create over and over again low level chars, join with them, farm, and then put it in the bank, thus taking the spot of a lvl80 who is not there to farm (not on the same level as a lvl10 char atleast)

omg a post that is formatted correctly! IT HAS BULLETS!…and BOLD TITLES!

God the forums are ruined now T.T

If u are on the winning side…yes (atleast for a limited time till u find almost 0 opposition to fight with)…for the loosing side? No…not only because u feel bad about loosing but u also lose a lot of money for nothing. (sieges/upgrades – optional/repairs….lots and lots of repairs)

So if u are on the loosing side…u are not only demoralized but u will also be broke

Lol…at first i thought u pasted a dxdiag log hahaha

Well…before for over 400 kills u would get around 150 badges or so. The droprate is definitely lowered a bit…but not so much as to be a concern. I find it balanced now.

100g is fine…… having to pay just “gold” is not.

“Fire: 6pm – 12am
Air: 12am – 6am
Earth: 6am – 12pm
Water: 12pm – 6pm”

What happens when there’s a total eclipse? Captain Planet?

Just kill more…..problem solved. Indeed i also found the droprate to be changed compared to before…but i don’t have issues getting them still. I just have to kill more which results into more fun.

Stop expecting everything to be handed to u for free or almost no hard work

Hix.8925:

Make the orbs give your PVE realm a ton of bonuses. Put the orbs bonuses on the Overpowered buff. A lot simpler.

So Orbs to give faster lvlups gathering etc…resulting into even bigger zergs because of ppl who finish lvling/gearing up faster?

…No thank u

I find it funny that ppl listen to goon to be honest….like they are some kind of a good guild or something…. I have been rolling goon guys so easy when DB was matched vs Maguuma last week, it wasn’t even funny…and no it wasn’t a zerg. I always found a group of 3 goon players trying to scavenge flags in WvW (won’t be a douch….it’s now happening to us) and i could always take them all down solo.

I clearly remember once and only once having issues and getting killed….but the rest?! Every goon i met…i killed with very strange ease. I don’t even have the time to dedicate so much to the game as others…so most likely i lack experience compared to some of the hardcore players tat theorycraft and know how to time their skills pictureperfect…..hell i even remember a group of about 4 (+-1) goon players specifically targeting me wherever i was even if i was with 2-3 ppl, or in zergs….i swear each time i was the first to be ganked by them… they either never killed me or i killed them (with or without the optional zerg)

Sorry but i will never be able to take seriously someone or something said by GOON. They are not at a position where their words matter. Not for me atleast.

As for the Maguuma server….i stated somewhere else, dominating 100% is boring as u are left with scraps to kill in WvW. Being dominated 100% is just pure stupid from my POV (on the game’s side). This shouldn’t happen in a well match up system. U guys did great for the skill and timespans u played/were active. U offered some great fun moments of intense battles. Am sad that it had to be a 100% constant domination (just like it’s now with JQ).

Hope next time we meet u guys get a bit more active throughout the day and we can have some proper fun in WvW. Till then!…glhfgg in WvW with the servers u will be matched with.

PS. A tip that could benefit both of our servers next time (u get better..we get better fights). Please stop investing SOOOOO much into pure damage gear. I swear, this was even brought up in the guild TS….. an extremely large amount of players from your side are SO squishy….as in extremely squishy …. damage isn’t everything..that’s why u die so fast in big fights or even fights. Theorycraft a bit on the gear u ware. If u manage to do that, it would make both server’s lifes much more enjoyable. Take for example the WvW gear…why do u think it has power/toughness/vit+slot in it (even MOST weapons have those same stats)?
