“Objectives upgrades will no longer be automatic based on time. They will upgrade based on dolyaks that reach them. Smaller groups can now prevent an objective from upgrading by preventing dolyaks from reaching that objective.”

A small change, but it sounds good.

“Supply cost for all catapults are being reduced by ten supply. The layout of the Desert Borderlands map has increased the number of catapults required to take some objectives. We agree with your feedback that also increasing the cost of catapults pushed the balance too far towards defense so we are tuning that more towards offense.”

OK.

“Points per kill will be turned on and kept on. This is to more directly recognize the contribution that fighting other players adds to the success of the world.”

I like this.

“The number of players who can rally off a single kill has been reduced from five to one. Players will also no longer be able to revive defeated players while in combat. You still will be able to revive downed players while in combat. Both of these changes are designed to help fights resolve and to give smaller, more skilled groups a better chance against larger groups.”

I understand the reasons for this last proposal, but I’m unsure about it.

A big blob will always rez everyone killed after a battle because they will control the battlefield.

Imho, 1 downed rally per kill is good. But everyone dead in a WvW map should need to rezz to the nearest teleport and resume the fighting from there.

This small change will decrease the advantage of blobs against small groups because over time the blob will get weaker while their members try to run back to the blob after being killed.

Desert BLs and Alipine BL Rotation

Desert BL’s are not good for WvW. Do not waste time trying to save an incorrect concept.

Someone on ANet map design department was given free rein to make the new BL’s maps but probably that person never played WvW.

The new BL’s are completely useless and they are not even beautiful…they are ugly.

In the end of the day, a lot of wasted money by ANet paying people to make designs like that.

Any map with verticality will kill WvW.

Half of the classes have skills that involve jumping/rushing when attacking and if they are not careful they end falling down to oblivia.

The WvW maps should offer the same opportunities to all classes.

Also GTA turns everyone into murdering thieves. C’mon, this topic is full of 90’s style mom outrage. We’ve moved on.

Yeah right……….. and we always move on after taking the next barrier.
When was the last time you took a look whats going on on this planet ???

In the 80’s kids could play outside until nighttime.
These days they can’t go out alone at all.

Do you think there is any connection to our times and always taking the next barrier ???

No.

One of the things people do is a whitewashing and glamorization of times past. But they had crime and murders. They had public executions by the state out in the open where all, including small children, could come and watch. They had lynchings where no one was punished and it wasn’t against the law to beat or sexually assault your wife.

There were reasons that children were allowed more freedom. One big one is that people had so many. A family might have 4, 5, 6, 7 or more children. 15 or 20 children to a family wasn’t unheard of or uncommon. With that many, it wasn’t unusual to lose a few before adulthood to disease or accidents. Most people now only have a couple of kids and you only have a couple of kids, you keep them closer than if you have 20 kids racing through your house. Another reason was lack of information. Nowadays a school shooting is known around the world. Then, it might not be known outside the place it happened. People hear more bad things from all around the world, and it frightens them whereas in the past they would never have heard of it.

I am not sure is should even answer.

Actually i don’t know where you grew up.
But i have never seen a public execution or sex assaulting wifes or people having 7 childs or anything you mentioned.
Beside that this is not the topic. The problem is that if we continue to lower standards, which actually exist to keep people descend, we will face a horrible world.

Fact is that the kids in the 80’s had more freedom to explore and more safety in general.
Since the 90’s when people had the brilliant idea to remove anything that provided any stability or discipline the violence level in our society exploded.
In fact the 80’s were the only time when the USA remotely reached the quality level of the Scandinavian countries these days.
Right now the United States are at #15 even behind Costa Rica.
Strangely the leading countries have very strong standards when it comes to handling kids and safety or providing environment for children.

Like i said…. these days kids are not even allowed outside alone or woman are told not to be out after dark.

It is up to you to rage about that.
But if we fail to reintroduce rules, standards or discipline we will face a horrible
reality every day around us.
A good start would be to keep kids away from alcohol, drugs and tobacco
plus rethinking what is actually entertainment.

Just my 2 cents

+1.

The main problem is that a lot of people do not think about problems anymore…its easier to keep moving like numb ghosts towards the precipice…

Hello all,

I know we have achievements for killing thousands of mobs/enemies but at least we do it in an environment of killing or be killed, its a survival thing.

Now, endorsing the consumption of 10.000 alchoolic beverages is something completely different.

A lot of young people sees this achievement like something cool and in their brains a few barriers will fall against bad drinking habits. They cant kill thousands of enemies or monsters in real life (for different reasons) but they sure can drink 10.000 beers.

I think a bit more care should be used when introducing this type of achievements.

Best regards.

It is so easy to create, lets say, 3 levels of guild halls from a small guild hall for guilds under 10 ppl, to a medium guild hall for 11 – 30 ppl and a big guild hall for guilds with more than 30 ppl that I do not understand why ANet has been so lazy about it.

The sad truth about WvW is that WvWer’s tend not to buy gems to get shiny skins.

A lot of the best WvWer’s out there run in outrageously ugly armor combinations, they never have a mini running after them and they do not show any signs of having wasted gems to buy any item at BLTP.

WvWer’s are more interested in the game mechanics than in the game aesthetics. So, they tend to be a group that brings little revenue to ANet.

That is why ANet invests all its resources to lure PvEr’s into the gem addiction leaving WvWer’s out in the cold.

Imho, WvW is the only part of this game that can be played without an end, is never boring and can really make people flock to guilds and make them grow to huge numbers. All other content is not good as WvW for GW2 future.

What ANet needs to do is improving WvW with the tons of feedback they have from players and, at same time, think about a way of increasing the need for WvWer’s to use the gem shop.

From the top of my head I can give ANet 2 suggestions:

1. Create different types of commander tags, with different prices. People pay several thousand gold for simple skins, why not paying several thousand gold for really useful commander tags with great large group management, messaging and tactical commands features?

Leave the existing Commanders tag as it is and create 2 lower level tags and 2 higher level tags. Maybe a Raider’s tag to command a group of 10 max, costing 100 gold. Then a Mercenary tag for groups of 20, costing 200 gold.

The 2 top tags could be a General tag to command groups of 70, costing 1000 gold and finally a Marshall tag to command groups of 100 players with a feature to directly draw tactical arrows on the mini-map for visual orders for the whole group, costing 2000 gold.

2. Create special outfits/weapon skins for WvW only, with useful features for the buyers but not game breaking pay-to-win features. Something like handy features to have in your group like Combat Repairs skin (armor repair for the whole group every 30 minutes), Combat Quartermaster skin (food buffs for the whole group every 30 minutes), Combat Bank skin (creates every 30 minutes a bank npc for the whole group), Combat Trader skin (creates every 30 minutes a BLTC npc for the whole group), etc.

Concerning weapon, ANEt can make special WvW weapon skins that identifies immediately a player WvW masteries like Trebuchet mastery, Shield Generator mastery, Siege Golem mastery, Ram mastery, etc.

This is just the begining, a lot more cool ideas can be added.

WvWer’s will only buy gems to get gold if they find beautiful and USEFUL items for WvW at gem shop. Come on ANet, put your minions at work.

How can I get Sovereign weapon skins now?

You can buy them now.

You need the 2 favors (of the pavilion and of the bazaar iirc) which you can buy from the TP (bazaar is kinda expensive).

Then combine them (double click) and go to the sovereign weapons vendor which atm is in Divinity’s Reach up the stairs from the wintersday karma merchant, to the right iirc.
