Bet anet makes good money off transfers, so linking is a success.

They gave you an overhaul LOL

The extreme lag keeps me outta EB already.

Seems to me that all of yall are actually having fun just being able to stack servers. Then completely carelessly kill your enemies by out blobbing them down, with effort or expectation of counter play. So again yes you will absolutely hate ESO. Skill, gear, and tactics, win against numbers in ESO. You have been warned not to try this game. But if you do just get ready for that one to 4 month Champion Point system grind, get ready for the month of gear grinding, get ready for that looking a guides time to optimize your skills and builds, just to begin to compete with some of the more dedicated PvPers of ESO. ZOS is making the game more and more of, your carefree skill-less numbers will not save you type of game.

It actually took about a year to ding 50 on my first character in DAOC
And let me not start about crafting there

Sounds like your dedication and skill means something in these other games. GW2 is practically handing out everything for free, there’s no sense of…..difficulty?

You can always try l2p in gw2 or go play games where gear give you advantage.

But gear does give you an advantage in GW2, a big one in some cases, and GW2 is pretty much the least skillful mmo around.

Isn’t it like a 10-15% boost or something in stats if you run full ascended crap? I still run exotics, I just don’t care enough to win anymore lol

I do not know what it is but the lag in wvw is now significant all the time after the update could be the charges of guard of fcc making isp feel they can do this as they wish or gw2 it self. I cant tell all i can is a few things changed in the world and in the game and now wvw is lag spiking for me ever few sec.

Yeah….its pretty significant for me as well and very unpredictable even when minding my own business away from large fights.

7/10 only because your music was horrendous.

Use this next time, you young kids with this Asian techno crap are tempting me to ram q-tips into my ear drums.

Korgov.7645:

Another quality of life feature that got accidentally released in the latest patch:

• Tactivators are shown as yellow triangles on the map and the mini-map.

Those look really awful and are extremely similar to google map road hazard icons. Brilliant lol

Was a thread earlier on it. Got closed and deleted of course.

If I remember right, someone posted another video a very long time ago. Nice to know nothing has been done lol

Clearly anet doesn’t play wvw then………map chat has been the 180 of those rules for 4 years lol

In fact reported a guy who was out of control spewing pretty awful stuff in team chat and who is well known for it.

Result: he is still playing and at it again. Sent screenshots to anet, reported, went through the proper channels.

Zero action. So their policy is a joke.

I once fought a mesmer and warrior on my MM necro.

After they realized the gank wasn’t gonna happen I watched the mesmer clearly frustrated leave combat, stealth, and then moa me. The warrior had his way with me of course but I consider it a win when a glitter thrower casts the skill on me.

Blockhead Magee.3092:

Anet does not hate any server – they just don’t give two poops about them.

The unbalanced population, unbalanced classes as well as the perceived (and actual) avoidance of working on the game mode is continuing to erode wvw of players.

Probably the best point. The entire game seems to be suffering in all aspects, even gold spoon pve and silver spoon pvp. It’s like they just gave up or are putting all bets in on this future xpac they are working on while burning the bridge with players. I mean who would seriously trust these guys for future game purchases based on what we are witnessing now?

LOL Another cliche HoT build

Gwaihir.1745:

fishball.7204:

3-2-1 is better if you wanna focus the top server though.

Right now across 2 skirmish with 2-1-1 if you focus top and trade the win both of you get 3, the ‘first’ gets last place for both = 2.

In a 3-2-1 you can both trade win and end up with 5 while forcing the ‘first’ to get last for both = 2.

You can see that 3-2-1 actually incentivizes 2v1 harder and lets you trade wins with the 2nd/3rd server to gang up on the first better since you can achieve 2.5 the points in a 3-2-1 rather than a 1.5 in 2-1-1 across 2 skirmishes.

This is well said. You can push the first server into last for the skirmish and gain more ground. People argue scores are closer with 211, but really that’s because there are less points to go around. A sort of placebo illusion.

The 211 doesn’t appear to be benefiting wvw and there appears to be a deadlock with the 2nd and 3rd place servers in my tier even though we own more than the other.

Not a very good scoring system at all, we should be pulling away not neck and neck. It rewards servers for slacking off thus making the matchup even more stale.

RodOfDeath.5247:

I realize I’m 1 outta probably 400 players that still runs minion master in roaming, but why in the hell can a mesmer click one skill and turn me into a moa while blowing up my minions?

Lame to allow this in a mode like wvw so agreeing with the OP

Didn’t know that. Perhaps that’s a bug? Maybe we should report that in the bug section and see what they say?

“A successful cast will end any forms in use by an enemy such as Tornado or Lich Form, and destroy all necromancer minions (except Jagged Horrors).”

Anet logic. Eles, you screwed too lol

Ovalkvadratcylinder.9365:

I’m abit fed up with people complaining about the communication. If they got stuff to communicate with us about they will communicate. If not, they won’t. It’s not that hard.

lol……….read that a few times people.

Justine.6351:

It’s 2017,
Can we grow up and find a new word instead of salty?

This word kinda confuses me as well as I used it in jr high back in 1995 quite often when schooling someone in basketball or backyard football. Do kids even play backyard football anymore or is it banned by current society?

Kids are using salty today like its new…….strange.

Maybe we can bring back:

-As If
-Nottttt
-Talk to the hand

1.) Lag-Currently, the game is not very playable and I have no clue why. I tried all the little tricks I normally do and it goes away. This time, no luck and it seems various players are notifying anet they are experiencing lag. Acknowledge it, not ignore the various postings on the subject.

2.) Skill balance and diversity. This game has become incredibly dull and boring relating to roaming and fights in general. Players are running around with an huge health pools while dishing out insane damage condi and power wise. Invulnerability skills need a serious look over. Players shouldn’t be able to block block block block block invulnerable invulnerable block block block.

3.) Boon duration and availability. Too many builds are using this as a crutch and should use skill rather than autopilot mode. Get back to making certain skills exclusive to certain classes.

4.) The desert BL needs more work badly to be fully accepted. Running….running….and more running. It’s mundane and the center of the map is completely useless and empty. Put something interesting there, NOT PVE elements.

5.) A communicated work plan with the wvw public. We need to know that anet is going to deliver and not just over hype and promise things that they either don’t have the staff for or just don’t have the skilled staff to create. Transparency basically, we felt strung along when we’ve given you years of recommendations and you tube videos on broken aspects of the game. Not only build wise but bugs that have been around forever. Polls are not acceptable, communicating with the forums is.

We already have die hard hit hard HoT classes running all over the map. Please….no more tanky traits or players. They are ruining the game as it is.

I realize I’m 1 outta probably 400 players that still runs minion master in roaming, but why in the hell can a mesmer click one skill and turn me into a moa while blowing up my minions?

Nikkinella.8254:

Fights simply arent fun anymore. That’s what drove people away. All this passive condi and cc spam. It might be fun for the trolls using it, but not the least bit fun to fight against it. The stab changes and the pve buffs to condi, which should have stayed in pve only and never been brought over into wvw. That’s what killed the fun for me anyway. The whole thing that made me like wvw in the first place was the active, intense, fast paced combat. That just isnt there anymore. Its all boring bunker condi and cc spam and passive autopilot builds that carry bad players.

I think just the game in general isn’t fun anymore.

Wait…what is the portals name and how tall is she?

Just maybe….Mag has too many as well?

Meh, it’s what BG does. Cliche excuse “we’re taking a break” is too obvious.

Just a bunch of new age kids wanting their participation trophy. How dare they lose a fight!

Sky Fell.7604:

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

We are aware of the bug and are working on a fix for it.

Since we’ve got you here, can we get a weekly community interaction thread? I think it would go a long way to fixing the mistrust in these forums if a Dev or Community manager showed interest in what we have to say.

Would be a nice start to open the conversation and start fresh with the wvw community. Everyone has to be nice though, golden rule

I’ve seen even a little status email of projects at my job go a long way with customers. Sometimes those little updates at least let people know you are addressing issues and making progress on xyz. Keeps the conspiracy theorist at bay.

DeWolfe.2174:

Princess.7584:

I think someone was not telling you the truth. Its getting near to re-linking, its Wintersday, BG choosing not to play WvW is why you are seeing less people.

If BG gets reopened again, might as well /resign. Lets hope Anet will not fall for this again.

It’s Anet, they’ve fallen for it every time, year after year.

Agreed, they ignore the game mode too much to even realize what is going on.

DevilishLyx.2340:

We’ve lost so many devs that the only people who know what wvw is all about are the players.

In looking it up the past year, quite an amount have gone to you know who.

Everybody knows it’s Amazon Game Studios
Colin Johanson
Jeff Grubb
Eric Flannum
Jon Peters
Josh Davis
… and that’s just some easy ones.

I think we can say it without summoning Beetlejuice or Candyman, right?

I don’t think they browse the wvw forums too often tbh, so it’ll probably slide this time.

lol you silly kids in T1, so much drama.

DevilishLyx.2340:

We’ve lost so many devs that the only people who know what wvw is all about are the players.

Think the bigger issue is players don’t know how to unchain their mind. The few that choose the alternative exit out of spawn can do quite an amount of work for their server.

Maybe go off on your own and stop depending on others, they’ll only lead to your death if that’s their mentality to feed the spawn campers.

Golem Week July 17 to July 24 2015.
Never forget.

He was responsible for that kitten ???

Ya, so it’s not a big loss for us wvwers.

iirc, his goal with that event was to show Anet that wvw could be given regular attention and have things shaken up now and then through the form of special events that didn’t require heavy developer commitment. The, er, exact details of that particular event weren’t the best, but his heart was in the right place.

That’s a positive way at looking at it. The guy seemed well liked for the most part. I’m sure he’ll actually have the proper resources now at his new position at the big A and succeed.

Who cares about T1

Gonna go with sorry for being dedicated to wvw for 4 years now. I think I’m more sorry to myself if anything lol

I feel ya, I have around 3 stacks now. Let’s put these towards some currency anet? As in….ascended armor perhaps? Even trading for gold, just junking up inventory now.

LOL…..they sniped another one.

Svarty.8019:

I fear we’re all wasting our time here. Lest we forget, here is what the PvP forum looks like at the moment.

I look forward to the WvW forum having this much developer attention after the upcoming WvW patch!

wow….that’s a bit insulting? lol

Aury.1367:

- Condi

- reading patchnotes

- reading patchnotes about Revenant

- just waiting for a thief/mesmer to kill you, since they run away anyway if low

For me, every class is a coward these days. Bunch of little everyone gets a trophy kids playing this game and can’t stand the thought of losing. Kinda pathetic lol

chronometria.3708:

Maybe this is a direct attempt to push WvW players into Spvp.

Good luck with that anet if that’s their plan.

Swamurabi.7890:

from a red post in the thread Whens the next WvW tournament?

Tyler Bearce.3427:

Our primary motivation for avoiding running another tournament, is that at the end of every tournament we saw a permanent dip in the number of players playing WvW. Presumably this was due to players burning themselves out during the tournament.

However, we can still run a poll to see if the majority of the community wants another 4 week tournament, even if it might be bad for the long term WvW population numbers. Though even if ‘running another tournament’ won the poll, we’d probably hold off until we get the scoring updates in.

Didn’t Tyler get moved from the wvw team? Guy seemed pretty cool.

Well even if they did implement it somehow in wvw, they’d just put a massive currency wall in front of it and junk up our inventory with more useless items.

Exotics ftw.

That and the massive announcement of what server took what camp, tower, keep, etc.

Very annoying and needs an option to disable.

Ghost thief, there is only ghost thief.

Honestly, it’s more of the stereotypical cookie cutter builds you see presently that is dragging this game down. Same ole boring build and classes. Not a whole lot of diversity going on anymore.

BlaqueFyre.5678:

blackgamma.1809:

High mobile classes that can enter and leave combat is a very abusive mechanic for roamer. i know this topic isnt something new. but how its abused makes other classes like druids and thieves and warriors significantly better than the rest. is not so much the instant full health that bothers me. its the classes abusing the cooldowns

so when a player engages a fight with a theif, and successfully lands their elite skill or a skill with a significantly high cooldown. that theif can blink away and use high mobility to leave combat. re enter combat with full health. making that skill wasted. even though you played correctly as intended.

my only suggestion is whenever a player leaves combat. they dont regen their health instantly to full. they either must find a safe spot to use their heals or regen, heal on the go

Why is it fair that some classes can negate all physical damage while waiting out their cool downs? Why do some classes have passive traits that punish perfect burst or Cc? Those aren’t fair why should they be rewarded for failing to properly dodge an attack/Cc while at the same time CC’ing the attacker without the press of a button? At least disengaging and Re-engaging is an actual strategy and not passive gameplay. It’s called thinking strategically and wanting to win you use the classes/builds advantages to secure a victory.

And if they are out of combat so are you….. not simple to grasp you will only die if you wast CDs trying to chase them.

Oh I see now you are a Necro main…… hence the salt on mobility classes, yet has some of the most passive gameplay on certain builds in game to date.

Insults a player because he’s salty but cries about passive. Irony

Junkpile.7439:

Could that npc ask some questions before he sell commander mark? You can’t get driving license either if you drive like kitten whole time. Seriously commander siegerazer is like mensa member compared some of there commanders. Some noob probably come tell that it’s better have some commander than no commander. ACTUALLY, NO IT ISN’T!!!!.

Calm down

Geez….people take this game way too serious lol

Mag….roamers? LOL, they are a blob server now.

If it makes you feel better, I roam on minion master………nuff said.
