Servers and what is to come for WvW

in WvW

I’m on record as saying megaserver is coming to WvW just like it’s used on EotM. Ever see a guildie’s yellow dot in WvW and mouse over it? “Player is on another instance of this map.” Anet will not kill the golden goose yet- they want your gem cash for transfer fees right up until the day megaserver happens. Then sooooo many people will rage-quit because they spent cash to transfer and it will mean nothing at that point.

I’ve noticed that as well the other day “player is in another instance”. It’s coming and anet is already implementing.

I do agree. The devs are pretty easy to read and it’s pathetic. “We’re not quite ready to release our wvw plan” is what we heard from the dev, but what I read is “we’re not quite ready because we want to milk gem transfer sales as much as possible”. What’s sad is the business plan won’t work. They are just driving off more players who get frustrated clinging onto their precious gem sales instead of being honest with their customers.

If they plan on keeping these, it should be extremely obvious when a person is carrying one. Right now they look like a regular banner. If they were say twice as tall, groups could more easily target these players.

That’s kinda what we did, we were outnumbered but after a ton of engagements, due to our determined driver, we started trying to snipe the banner carriers. Took awhile to find them in the mass of red but wasn’t obvious like you said. Overall, it seems most big groups are carrying these and just spamming them instead of engaging in a skilled fight. Banner wars lol

A single dragon banner with plenty of space, not really a big deal. Just keep moving and/or spread out. However, in chokes or narrow corridors, they do suck. I dread the day we regularly see multiple banners at the same time… Banner Wars lol. So cheesy.

Try fighting a massive JQ blob who carries 3 dragon banners at a time lol

Overall it is ruining fights and not really encouraging for open field combat. Apparently there’s already a meta for “autowin” using dragon banners with mesmers. Game over

Yawn…..1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1. Go blob in eotm. Us good players want roaming back.

Yea just what this game mode needs. More people to move to EoTM.

Removing EoTM and maybe you will get more players into WvW. As long as EoTM is here I don’t see populations every getting fixed.

There are even roaming EoTM videos popping up now of players farming uplevels in outnumbered fights and they think they are actually good roamers.. EoTM is what has turned this game mode and some players into a brainless k-trainers if you ask me..

That’s a good point man, it’s probably what they all want us to do secretly. Just give up and mindless spam 1 in eotm. The eotm roaming videos are a joke mixed with Korean rock music that sounds like a 12 year old school girl talking really fast and some dork playing mesmer with extreme close ups with something called senpie or senpork.

Them trying to fix something makes me think the walls will come alive and walk across the map or something and turn into a giant t-rex and start breathing fire. The t-rex can also summon the air ship wherever he wants and has 500 seconds of stability and is immune to all conditions. Also, may cause lag issues.

I’d like to see EOTM be a longer match even though I hate the awful players there and they make me sick.

Maybe have a week long match and use the new BLS in the EOTM instead. Give those little pvers something to do and they just LOVE zergin up and farming so I don’t see how anet can go wrong.

You’d fill your pve maps with pvers so your new designed maps are not wasted, your wvwers can have their alpine maps back and we’ll stop whining a tiny bit…………everyone wins.

Once in awhile when I’m on my lunch break at work, I look up my old long lost guild wvw raid vids. I remember a time when it was exciting to log into wvw and teamspeak hearing voices now long gone from the game and the fearless driver “Number FourtySeven” yell at us in team speak each night “FOCUS THE FRACK UP YOU IDIOTS!” I remember reset anticipating who our opponents were going to be that week because it meant new guilds to fight because reputations were huge back then. We were a small team, only 10-12 on a good night but it’s kinda weird, I still remember epic fights, certain funny team speak comments, or just moments that were legend that only our little guild shared.

The vid below and music kinda makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Luckily us players shared those moments together and anet can’t take that away from us. They’ve managed to take away so much, but at least we all share those alpine memories together

WvW worth coming back after the Expansion?

in WvW

Posted by: RodOfDeath.5247

RodOfDeath.5247

No do not buy the expansion, read around on forums and you’ll see why. I’ve watched a few live streamers on twitch as well voice their complaints and the majority make great points on the state of wvw and pvp. Anet just isn’t ready for the big stage with their esports dream.

I find myself using old builds for roaming or small raids that seem to work better than all the over hyped bs stuff like greatsword on necro.

If I had the choice like others, I would have never given anet my money and will not make that mistake again.

I haven’t logged into the game for around a month. I keep thinking I can do what I did long ago when I was FA, come back and create a little roaming guild that wrecked havoc on enemy BLs. But when I see the costs of building up a guild and lots of reports of no roamers I remember it’s a faint whisper these days.

Or I’m just being emo about it

You have to understand when project managers or $$$ is invested into a product the common method is to stay the course despite the doubters.

I’ve seen people in my line of work keep rolling with the worst of ideas ignoring help along the way or having an open mind. It’s this weird “in too deep” mentality that they “must make it work at all costs” that leads to the downfall in the end. I feel as if anet has invested so much in the new maps that they are “in too deep” and there’s no turning back.

The opening of all servers must have them worried. Trending data shows people are not playing a mode you invested in and they obviously dedicated time to the creation of these maps. The sudden wvw drop off and gem transfer fees put a dent in their statistics I’m sure.

Now…they must choose and are most likely having meetings I would think about what is the best approach. Whether that is closing tier x through z servers or creating a mega-server system, a decision must be made…and soon as a large player base has given up on them and I believe them to recognize this based on nearly all servers opening.

They just signed a deal with the e sports thingy, this creates pressure on a team and I’ve seen it first hand unfortunately. Whoever the captain is, they are steering this ship towards dangerous waters and putting extreme pressure on the poor devs. It’s really easy to see what may be going on here, a deal was struck and anet has a deadlines, outline timelines with an outside manager on their tails to meet, and control of resources. One dev, whom we know very well in the wvw world, left. If someone who was a major factor with wvw is willing to start applying for jobs and leave anet, then that tells a story. The guy moved on for a better opportunity clearly, but it’s very obvious…the company is headed in a strange direction that logical thought knows is not a wise decision.

Or I’m wrong about all this and anet is kittenugar

It’s a bit concerning and as time goes on I’m just not buying this “people are pveing and guilds are building up their halls” Any true wvwer pukes at the thought of pveing.

I tried roaming for three hours tonight, 3 measly engagements……just three. I tried EB for a bit and the enemy bls.

Something is wrong here. I’m trying to give the bls a chance and roam as I normally do but holy hell this is quite boring, the current state is driving me away. I’m not sure if it is my style of play in solo roaming but just can’t get into the zerg ball mentality. Everyone seems to hang in EB in T3 currently with little roaming. I get the whole guild raid thing but good lord this can’t be more blatantly obvious the mode is blah.

I pvp’d for the first time tonight, that was sorta fun but just didn’t have that surprise wvw factor. I just like that feeling of running alone in the enemy bls or deep into enemy territory in eb with the unknown feeling of what is to come.

Just not sure what to do with myself anymore trying not to be impatient being it’s only 2 weeks after HoT but new bls? Ghost land? Doesn’t seem good IMO

Tier 3 (Stormbluff Isle) constant blob?

Posted by: RodOfDeath.5247

RodOfDeath.5247

I’m on SBI and have NOT noticed this theory of a constant blob. During my days off from early morning to afternoon I see one tag maybe in EB with 10-15 on them. Prime time, I’ll give you that there’s a significant sized main zerg with raid guilds like oT running around on their own, but I see multiple guilds from CD or Mag coming together to fight our pug zerg because lets face it everyone wants in on the EB action. The fights have been more fun lately with all three servers at times going at it with huge numbers. So….not sure what your point is from my observation on SBI.

Small group roaming / solo roaming dead ?

in WvW

Posted by: RodOfDeath.5247

RodOfDeath.5247

I think roaming certainly is a dwindling mode. I often try to still solo camps, pick off yaks, or just look for a fight only to find a group of 5 players, typically 2-3 mesmers, thief, and super power “gain quickness for 3 hours on hit” warrior. I usually roam with my necro so I have no other option but to fight and see if I can pull off some miracle but usually get blasted to holy hell if there’s 3 or more players I’ve facing these days.

With the changes over the past few months I feel like balance is even worse. The large scale fights are not much fun as well with 80000 red rings in a choke point and zergs dancing for 20 minutes on who is going to bite first and melt.

WvW game mode certainly isn’t what it use to be, still fun at times but those moments are getting more rare each week.

If we never had servers

in WvW

Posted by: RodOfDeath.5247

RodOfDeath.5247

Would you have servers anyway? (Just for WvW)
-Not sure if I’d cut down the server numbers. Seems like T8-T7 are dead and they could roll with 10-12 servers today if they wanted. I do like the style though and I remember at launch always getting excited to fight someone new and guilds. I hate EOTM mainly due to I’m a fan of community, which is long lost these days with the transfer craze. I think server identity was the cool think about this game because you got to go out in wvw and represent.

Would you have some sort of system based on guilds? Alliances?
-I think guilds for hire or bidding on would be an awesome idea. Pugs, server guilds, roamers could donate to a server pot. Thursday night they submit a vote to an NPC to what guilds will be hired to help the server that week based on the bidding war. Mercenaries for hire In a sense you could solve coverage problems and help those struggling servers. Though I could see gold being an issue for the poor unpopulated servers. But kinda like a country rising who is broke as hell. Might give the game a dynamic aspect but a T1 guild on ET might really suck, so just an idea.

Would you still have 3 way battles, or something else?
-I don’t think wvw could handle anymore lag so 3 way battles seem like where we are stuck. I think 3 way server fights give gvg oriented guilds more opportunity though so they can find more guilds to fight.

Would you have fixed match ups, or dynamically generate matches as needed?
-Going back to my hiring guild idea, dynamically generated matches based on hired guilds roster size. I also think the more serious guilds would like the idea because more variety of guilds to fight gvg wise based on what server hires or bids on them for the week.

Anyway, just a thought. It just seems guilds, thus the title guild wars, could become that dominate guild in the game. I also think it could bring those hard core guilds back to the game. Rebuilding their great name again and getting players motivated again to build their server name up again.

Ebay does seem different lately, a little empty I have to agree. T2….depends on what you want in wvw. I would think any server on T2 would be active but haven’t played on that tier for quite awhile now. I know the ques can be annoying when you just want to log on and enter a BL. If you like to roam with your bud, I think the mid tiers T4-5 would be better. But from your post, seems like you like constant action. Personally, the current T3 match up looks interesting with the close score and hopefully numbers on the maps. Just seems like the majority of other match ups are all blow outs currently I guess and can’t really be that fun with player motivation crushed.

I’m a roamer and I guess I don’t care for this mode or idea. I could see it attracting the pve community into wvw, which anet seems to LOVE. However…..it will annoy the true wvw guilds who do it for the glory. Most wvw guilds and roamers play wvw for the glory, not rewards you’ll find. Wiping a guild with friends or spiking a mesmer or thief just seems much more rewarding IMO

Honestly…I think wvw is on its way to a long painful death anyway. I’m not going to fully blame it on the golem week as it was dwindling IMO for the past year, but reset this past week was awful. Just didn’t have that same exciting feel to it at least in the T4 and T5 accounts I got. BLs just seem like a ghostland lately I guess……but I’m sure the upper tiers still have some 24/7 action. I doubt they really put much effort into the population analysis with their xpac on the horizon.
