I don’t understand any of this. I’m just going to wear exotic stuff and play the game.

You can get easy rings and amulet from playing solely WvW. Just because you’re not interested doesn’t mean others may not be… Showing these people that they can just spend some minor time in PvE and get a upgrade is a good thing.

Never said it was a bad thing buddy.

Cerby.1069:

So how badly does dh have to lose, and for how many weeks to drop down a tier?

:)_))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

No im being srs this isn’t funny. Help us plz. u keep promising to send emergency aid. Each week we look at the sky and wonder how many more of our comrades will fall sick and leave this world behind. The guy next to me is gone alrdy, the one to my right lost his legs but is still twitching his fingers a bit. You must help us, before we all leave this world behind. DarkBay lives matter.

I never realized but why does CD have so many servers on their side? Shouldn’t anet distribute one to DBay?

I don’t understand any of this. I’m just going to wear exotic stuff and play the game.

Tommyknocker.6089:

Do any players even exist anymore in t4?

With the cost to transfer to T1 currently being 500 gems to join the “winning team”, I would not be surprised if the only inhabitants there are crickets and tumbleweed.

I moved here to T4 to join an ole friend. It’s ok for the most part, CD is pretty large and has better coverage and dominates this tier. But there is surprisingly action here in the evening with some decent fights. Roaming is decent, lot of small teams as in 2-4 man roamers. Some solo fights. Seeing some old guilds as well come out and play once in awhile. Wish I could see that more but given the boring state of wvw it’s expected.

The lag ain’t so bad as well LOL

I have zero desire to join T1. No thanks.

With each week and blowout I’m starting to believe the faction system is the only thing left. I love being on different servers and experiencing the communities, but so many players are gone and switching around these days those things have dissolved. It’s all about server stacking and waiting on anet now. Players on dominate servers don’t want to transfer and are hanging tight because they know anet will do something illogical sooner or later when it comes to wvw. I mean for the love of puppies they are having polls about siege? Not many players have the mentality to transfer to a server like DH/ebay for example because they are S A W F T. Players need to start taking steps as well, not only anet. As in certain servers too worried about spending months and months stacking to push to T1. Then complain about match ups and the staleness of wvw. Transfer to the little guys and fight the big dog. You’ll have to leave you itty bitty zerg.

I feel ya on the pve and story. I’ve tried to experience other game modes in gw2 and it just isn’t the same. An NPC that runs around spamming skills and then players have the rotation down to a science, then it becomes meta and routine run. I love the unpredictable things you come across in wvw, that’s what makes it an enjoyable experience. I blame wvw guilds for ruining me

In fact, I really liked dungeons. But those things have crashed and burned with HoT. The one pve thing this wvwer liked and anet messed that up along with needing to be a certain pve level to progress in your story, hated that too.

Not a chance, anet is loving all the transfers going on at the players expense. You honestly think they’d offer something free in a mode where it is the only source of profit? They say “transfer more!”.

Luckily some of the smart ones sell mats and farm to trade gold for gems. Don’t give these guys any gems till they shape up and improve wvw with an honest intention.

caveman.5840:

wvw has gone down hill sense the release of the game … I can leave for a few years and there is the same conversations going on lol…

I am not even going to try to reinstall to check out how things have been going on lol

Someone had the nerve in another thread to say “I’m not voting for wvw development” as if it was ever happening. OOOO you are so scary lol

Jeknar.6184:

I’ve seen flying NPCs not only on WvW but also on PvE maps.
Dolyaks position bug got even worse than it was before with some dolyaks walking completely out of their route. Spel Dolyak was seen going to red spawn while Veloka Dolyak was glitching through the ground.
My Warrior’s Rush is getting stuck often on terrain and my longbow skills are getting more obstructured than before on “plain” terrain.

Pff, I play necro. I’ve been stuck, warhorn swarm hits unknown, and immobilized plus stuck in combat since launch just outside mendons tower. I have hope that someone is coming though……..

I feel like this was an anet volunteer or interns project.

Xenesis.6389:

This should be fun for maguuma.
This really didn’t need to be baseline.
/shrug
Oh well not like combat wasn’t turning into kitten already anyways, what’s another cancer to add.

Clueless anet at it again lol

I’ve also had lag since launch. I find it’s a bit better now after updating my drivers, downloading a nice cache cleaner program, and looking into my horrible comcast service.

But I’m hanging out on the lower tiers where it’s a bit better, but still laggy randomly. Feels like little spikes of slow then smooth then slow during large fights. We’re not talking 50 on 50 here in T4, like 15v30 maybe at most.

What would be the ultimate tank build for wvw? Like an old school commander build that is heavily outnumbered.

I’ll come find you….with my daggers Yaks Bend.

zinkz.7045:

Aury.1367:

But remove it from WvW, its so kitten toxic…..

Everything in WvW is ‘so kitten toxic’, whether it be power damage, laughable levels of disengage of certain builds, boon spam / duration, damage mitigation, perplexity runes, durability runes, draining sigil, etc.

Are you actually deluded enough to believe that everything is fine other than dire/perplexity, newsflash – WvW is a low skilled cheesiest (even by the low standards of a game that is already a low skilled cheesefest) that is terrible for roaming, it always has been, and it only got worse with the powercreep from HoT / 3 full traitlines, most players realised that long ago…

What this guy said. Everything is pretty pathetic now.

I rarely see condi builds now, all about that daze and interrupt autowin builds now.

antidote.7201:

more like [XT] vs "few people from “Jade Quarry” not coordinated on TS and trying to defend a camp in home bordeland, 1 by 1"

Also, If the purpose is to show how condis builds are powerful, yes they are, especially when you run with a condi-berserker @30k hp (wtf), a duo team of condi revs spamming resistance and others boons, 2 condi necros …

The builds are working, but spamming condis to prove how good the condi builds are effective on small scales, it’s not a viewing pleasure …

Condi, boon sharing and resistance, everyone’s doing it man…….take a hit man! wth is going on in this game anymore lol

You mean your friends want to karma train with you

I think it’s a good idea but what will the pve pugs do? Server stack more? JQ, CD, and Mag do not need anymore players and that’s exactly what will happen while the two smaller servers get even more outnumbered. People like their shiny stuff.

CD doesn’t belong in T3. After witnessing 15 on average DH/Ebay players wipe CD zergs twice or more than their numbers constantly you guys would get eaten alive by Mag.

You are fine where you are skill wise.

Cinder.2056:

no one wants to fight mag’s blob.

If I had a tag on my SBI account, I would. IDGAF

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

QQ and Trex drama! This is fun

Floriane.3504:

Akkeros.1675:

totally off topic but agrees with what OP said.

So, if the same can be done for wvw where people can just come in, fight in groups, .

There’s a fairly unused arena in the Obsidian Sanctum for people to play in

I can’t believe how quiet that place is these days.

aandiarie.7195:

Repairing your client, deleting temp files, deleting cookies, defragmenting, back logging, deleting junk files etc etc Helped my game run more smooth. Also changing graphics settings. If they’re on high, change them to medium. Also the 32 bit and 64 bit thing may cause lag. If you have a 64 bit computer and don’t have the 64 bit client yet.

Started off lowering settings now, will try the dump files. Thanks

They probably were not loved or hugged as a kid and are taking it out on everyone else.

All maps feel really laggy lately even with nobody around.

Since launch exotic gear. back piece and weapons. But ascended trinkets.

I do fairly decent for the most part but sometimes will run across a fully ascended player who has a slight advantage and I can sorta tell at times.

Honestly, I think Mag is a server that utilizes every aspect they can to win. Whether it be boon sharing metas, exploits, or cheese builds that are on autowin mode they’ll do it.

And, there’s nothing wrong with that mentality. If it gets you the win and anet can’t correct their failures why not?

In a sense, it forces anet to recognize their game is completely broke when it comes to class balance. Let it continue and more players will get frustrated and quit the game. Keep it up anet.

I’m a 3/8th or 7/16th line guy myself. Very unique.

Aileras.9460:

I think the alpine maps are fine the way they are. Not sure about desert maps, never really played on them.

Hope you have an xbox or PS4 console, maybe even set up a gog account because you’re in for a treat

Kinda all the above. They have all that space in the NE and NW corners of the ABL with useless rats and Xena warrior princess centaur looking guys.

I’d like to see them completely go renovation realities on that area and make a new tower or keep with water and a drawbridge upgrade.

Also new siege-Greek Fire baby in boats! It would also allow a new wvw points to spend. Aquatic siege master.

I’m not sure if anyone else has mentioned, but watchtowers would be nice. Something where a defender could hang out and provide some type of buff for their server or BEER IMPORTS!

All my ideas are better than anets, all of them.

Leave us solo guys n gals alone.

Player Killing & Solo (or +1)

Thief. Immediate disengage with stealth and quick burst ganks. Gets really stale and one dimensional though. And if someone sneezes on you you’re dead. Can pick off or escape outnumbered fights the easiest.

Mesmer and Druid aren’t far behind. Scrapper too but it’s a little slow for me to escape zergs.

No, please no more stealth teefs or Mesmers.

Poor guy one day you’ll realize stealth doesn’t make you invincible.

Invincible, no. That is true. But it sure make you annoying AF by letting you reset way too many fights when things don’t go your way. It’s one huge bail out of jail card for sure.

Couple this with insane mobility and it will give your opponent the feeling they have little power over any outcome where a thief is involve. If they loose, the thief will bail and there is very close to nothing you can do to prevent him escaping even by ccing him silly. If they win there is also very little you can do to escape…

As much as they can sux in pvp they can be a tad too good in wvw roaming.

Mesmers can do the same. Scrappers can do the same. Druids can do the same. All with better fighting potential than thief and stronger defenses.

Honestly don’t understand all the thief griping these days.

I think a lot of players who are competitive like a heads up 1v1 with constant action and no to little break in between. Players want to test their rotations and sustain and once the enemy breaks off and resets their HP/skills that’s probably a little annoying for most. In their mind they are having a good fight but instead someone decided to disengage because the threat of losing was at hand and needed to reset the fight all over.

Not that this game is real life, but imagine a UFC fight where Brock Lesnar is pummeling you and you call “time out”. Everyone would just stare at you and think you’re lame, kinda like wvw, you can be megalame.

Not soon enough

You are correct sir.

Dusty Moon.4382:

One word YES. All the current crap going on in WvW is because larger servers are pushing what they want. Soon it will only be them in WvW with no one to fight against.

All leads back to anet not being transparent or honest about the future. A lot of those bandwagon players are nervous, so they transfer to the big dogs like JQ and Mag not knowing what is going to happen with the worry “I’ll be stuck on a trash server”.

Soon it will be three tiers, then same thing will happen, then two tiers faster than we expected IMO. There’s just too much server stacking and population imbalance going on with anet ignoring the prime issue enjoying the gem transfers.

They’d make an excellent health care provider, ignore the underlying issue and throw pills at it. Just give us money and go away.

I guess I give you a scenario. You’re a roamer, you see 5000 JQ coming to bay and your home BL is dead and you know the ktrain is in EB. You can buy your server those precious few moments to disable, whisper the EB commander for help and give your server time to respond.

My question is why remove the siege disablers?

In your example here you’re using siege disablers to compensate for a larger problem: population imbalance.

If population was balanced properly then siege disablers definitely should be removed as they encourage map hopping and blobbing.

If JQ had 200 players and FA had 200 players then you should be punished for not having a defensive force on your home BL.

However, because JQ has many more players than FA at the moment (during SEA anyway) – the siege disablers make sense. Having said that, JQ players make extensive use of siege disablers so it makes the job of your smaller guilds trying to ninja objectives much more difficult also.

TL;DR – what you really need is a more balanced population.

I agree, no arguments here.

I disagree. Your 200 FA were fighting those JQ on another map. JQ zerg map hops to try to pvdoor a keep on another map. Brave scout disables enabling your zerg to follow and continue to fight.

Its not the defenders fault their equal pop was on a different map because thats where the attackers were 4 minutes earlier.

Siege disablers are one of the few additions to the game that actually helps the defender as much as it does the attackers imo.

I think the population imbalance is solid argument, no question there. Right now JQ has entirely way too many players and resources to belong in T2. I’m hoping Mag and CD move in if they really have the numbers they claim to compete because the server linking sucks.

But you are right, it does help the defender as much as the attackers. The smaller server today had 15 players, one enemy guy in the keep disabled over and over while he called on his 40 man zerg to chase down the smaller server. It slowed down the little guys from competing in a sense.

It all comes back to population balance like others have said and I’m not sure anet has the mentality to solve it.

phantom.1675:

So first of all, the repair hammer and the latest poll about cannons are about trying them out, not adding them forever (they state this explicitly in the poll).

WvW is in such a bad state in so many of the tiers (dont know about T1) that I voted for them to try anything and everything because #science.

There is no way that anyone against adding the things, or the devs, or anyone can actually know the outcome; it’s just speculation. And as others have posted these forums offer the speculation of at most 1% of the wvw player base.

Playing time going down by the week, getting extremely stale and boring. Like you I’m all about trying new things but they are just focusing on stupid introductions with zero attention to population, class, or skill balance.

The state of wvw is downright embarrassing right now.

Yay….those 1 man defenders are just useless huh?

I use to be all about the necro, no fear and bring it on class who never runs.

But I’m really diggin the rev class right now. The boons and stances are pretty fun so far but I have yet to master. But they are very susceptible to condis.

Please, for the love of god, don’t be like 90% of people and play thief or Mesmer, be different

We need our old guilds back in all honesty. The hardcore players and legendary roamers.

What anet forgets is that guilds, roamers, and pugs make wvw awesome. We’ve basically lost the first two and pugs are becoming smaller and smaller in population.

I just don’t know how you attract players back at this point because most x-wvwers are just done with anet with little to zero interest in wvw.

I guess I give you a scenario. You’re a roamer, you see 5000 JQ coming to bay and your home BL is dead and you know the ktrain is in EB. You can buy your server those precious few moments to disable, whisper the EB commander for help and give your server time to respond.

Grim West.3194:

Spend real dollars on gems, buy a server transfer to the “Server of the Month” = ANET’s version of RvR.

And Mike O’Brien says… CHA CHING!

Looking like that was their plan all along, cash in on the players misery all along and let them transfer around. Wouldn’t doubt they’d take advantage for a second given their history of not being honest with their players.

Mailed you build in game

Have fun messing with people

I’ve never played and don’t claim anything is better than wvw right now, but I’m seeing a lot of streamers talk about how ESO is starting to get their wvw style in order and improving. Not sure if anyone can confess to that but seems like it may be worth a try.

I am excited about DAOC though, looks fun.

mcarswell.3768:

/chicken, /taunt (middle finger without the actual finger) and /slit (throat slit motion) were all great for infuriating the enemy in DAoC… this game is too carebear for that though i think.

Like the undertaker!!! Would be cool to emote as a necro in reaper mode lol

Jim Hunter.6821:

If you are outnumbered you shouldn’t be marked on the map by sentries and towers.

Certain tactivators like chilling fog should only work when you are outnumbered.

I think that’s a great idea actually.

Plus, no more stupid messages again “server took x tower!”. It’s getting annoying and constantly popping up at times.

Good luck bud, they never really acknowledge lag issues and seem to ignore their customers when it comes to topics like lag.

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

I feel the same about JQ.

Same….they are always around, in large quantities as well.
