Guild Wars 2

The best you can do afaik is 70 per dolyak if the supply camps are upgraded for increase supply.

Not ALL guilds from TA left. It’s just that The Titan Alliance is no more. It was evident lastnight when there wasn’t a queue for anything and we had the outmanned buff. I am not begrudging any server anything. I remember fighting other servers with that buff.

Too many variables in wvw imo. Levels, gear, orbs, food, etc. Spvp would be more telling. Also, this is the first game in a LONG time where we aren’t able to say “X” is OP or “Y” is underpowered. (imo)

I am not giving up. I will always have fun in wvw. I am just saying that without TA we are no longer the powerhouse. I will still have fun

I assume since HoD lost TA we will no longer be a threat to any server. It was fun while it lasted though for sure.

My thoughts:
Guild Contribution Points are essentially already in. The larger guilds gain influence a lot… A LOT faster than smaller guilds. I commend Anet on allowing smaller guilds to be able to afford upgrades though.

Guild claiming: AFAIK this is already in place. The guild that has the most participants are allowed to claim. The rest have to wait 3 minutes or something. Am I wrong about this? Also, imo no one wants 1 guild to be able to cap every single thing which is why there is a cap. Also, I thought you could have 1 Keep, 1 tower and 1 camp per guild. (?)

Awarding points to guilds for how long they hold “their” tower etc. sounds more like a dividing point than anything else. The last thing I want to see is 1 guild refusing to help other guilds protect their keeps/towers etc. because they want to lose it and be able to claim it themselves.

Also: No one can honestly ever support an idea where larger guilds get put ahead of smaller guilds in the queue. That is ludicrous

I think you need to include what you are talking about :P

Thanks to everyone at TA for making Henge #1. It’s been a fun ride

Diminishing returns.

Or hit H to bring up your hero panel. On the left bottom tab there is one that says PVP. Click that and choose to go to the Mists. (The mists is a lobby area. That itself is not PVP) Anyway, there is a portal there to Lions Arch. And then, as people have said, you will find the cluster of portals.

I use the logitech G13. There is a semi- steep learning curve with it though :P Go look up a picture of it. So I use my left hand on the G13. My thumb uses the joystick to move (assigned QEWS) I use my right hand normal mouse to turn and rotate camera. My G13 left hand also controls all my attacks in any easy to reach location. I only use the keyboard for typing.

My queue times at night have been pretty good. Less than 15 minutes typically. Lastnight I had no queue at all at 10pm for JQ Borderlands.

Some of you guys give way too much credit to this titan alliance, its sad really

Titan alliance carries us. I remember a certain weekend where I am pretty sure titan was doing a science experiment.. kept us in 3rd place for almost 3 days.

Have you read the wiki yet? It might be a nice starting point.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_versus_World

When the servers reset you lose the progress bar indicator, but it is still being built. So it will eventually be built, but you have no idea when.

Kay, what would hapkitten, when 1 team got ahead they would bail on that map so that no zergs from the enemy side could get enough forces to retake everything. Not to mention the fact that people don’t want to have to go to bed when the opposing team decides they don’t want to play anymore.

How did you breach the outer wall of DB to reset the orb? All we could find was the inner breach.

Maybe I am blind, but I don’t see any upgrades ordered there.

I would assume ele because of their AOE. But I am not a huge farmer.

So you are saying that it disappeared before the 30 minute timer was up? (Siege only last 30 minutes unless remanned/refreshed.)

1) It’s never a good idea to give a bonus to people for NOT playing the game. Also, people will get tired of hitting ALT F4 every 15 minutes. (Before each tick)
2) You would really want your weekend warriors to determine the outcome of the match?
And don’t even get me started about which 12 hours you deem are more important than the other 12.

I also do not understand the mentality that we should be shielded from the truth. It is a competition. Putting on rose colored glasses when you play doesn’t seem like the correct answer.

Hackers/Cheaters. – As always report them and they will get investigated/banned. Not sure what you are expecting here.
Exploits. Same as above
Rewards. Sounds like your personal issue slipped in here. No idea what rewards you want that are not already there.
Free transfer.
Night capping. Answered.

The Lord will be invulnerable if you don’t break the altar of power if the orb is in there. Is the orb in there?

Legendaries are not more powerful than exotics, they just look cooler

1) Yes, you can get exotics from karma vendors. I suggest checking the karma vendor outside Arah. Although there are multiple karma vendors in the level 80 areas to find what you need. You do not have to complete the dungeon to buy the armor.

2) I don’t run dungeons either but have read that you can get gear that way as well.
3) Yes! You can buy exotics with badges from wvw. It is QUITE spendy though. Like 390 badges per items (ish). I used my badges to get my weapons and my karma to get my gear outside of Arah. Spvp gear is only used for spvp so does not apply here.
4) Not sure. I thought the racial armor was buyable with gold but not sure of the prerequisites and think they are spendy.
5) Yes, you can buy exotics from the trade post. You want to focus on getting your 6 piece set bonus though. So 6 pieces with the same runes. Or you could buy the runes separately and replace them in other armor you have.
6) Yes, you can craft exotics and that was my original choice. However, after the matt nerf a while back I find that option the least appealing. I have already acquired the karma exotics and have yet to craft my first piece of armor due to material constraints. The good thing about the crafted armor is that you can craft what you want. IE a full crit build etc. But again, I feel at this time it is too difficult to achieve compared to getting karma. I got/get my karma strictly from wvw.

Ctrl right click your #1 skill. It is a toggle to auto attack or not. I had to turn it off to keep my warhorn/ call of the wild/ speedy buff from attacking the nearest mob.

Yep. A ballista makes short work of them.

It is my opinion that a grace period would mean people would always insta disconnect to get into prime locations and/or avoid death. It would be abused terribly. Although as I am writing this it is because I got dc’d. :P

HoD is not allies with SBI lol. SBI took their ball and went home.

It says i am not representing a Guild so i can’t use the guild bank. (Same with another leader of my guild) I CAN access it from the oveflow of LA, just not from LA.

Sounds like there are problems with the Queues again. My voodoo magic says to never enter an overflow server (aka Lions Arch) and try not to ever change maps while in the queue. This is just my superstition but it has worked well for me.

It should work like this. The team that wins moves to a higher bracket. The team that loses moves to the lower bracket. The team in the middle stays put.

HoD would be bumped off to where then since they are on top?

I’m not saying it’s a perfect system but at the very least you wouldn’t be fighting the same 2 servers for weeks. This is the worst way to run things.

All I’m saying is work on your idea. You can’t suggest an idea where you have no plans on what to do at the top. Saying your system isn’t perfect is an understatement. You have to account for everyone.

Joriel.1530:

Ok i’ve read what Matt Witter said and i totally agree but my question is; knowing Arenanet that french Canadians would play this game why didnt you add a [FR] tag on a north american server??
they would have better pings and wouldnt be moving to EU…. and all this frustrating night capping issue wouldnt be a concern ATM

24 hour capping will always take place whether you limit servers or not. Then people will be offended by anyone who plays outside of their own time frame. (Not unlike what we are seeing now)

Tarage.8632:

You are in that bracket. It wouldn’t be fair to match you with 2 lower teams.

Dredj.4025:

Here is my idea.

When the “Outmanned” buff is active all point generation of that Borderland should be reduced by 75%.

People would get tired of Alt F4’ing right before the score tally.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Current-world-rankings-UPDATED-9-28/first#post82393

1388.46 Sorrow’s Furnace
1371.21 Sanctum of Rall
1367.18 Darkhaven

The next bracket up is
1432.65 Ehmry Bay

You have some climbing to do.

Steveo.1574:

Change point capping intervals to 60minutes or 90 mintues rather than 15 minutes

IMO that would ruin the pace of the game. As it is we are always hitting B and checking scores etc. It was hard to adapt to the 15 minutes… but an hour would be terrible.

Time to jump ship!

Dordane.5412:

Just balance the ques out so one team can’t have 100 people while the other one has 20. A scoring system based on population is just going to get exploited and abused. I can just see people shouting in team chat “omg we are losing in this map to that zerg!! Everyone leave now so they get less points.” Unbalanced teams is boring for everyone and ruins the whole fun of the game imo. More balance might also stop all the roving nomads that switch servers every time a new wvw match starts.

I would love to see a chart on server transfers over a one week period. I’m actually dreading getting a match that’s unbalanced in our favor because I’m betting that the que times will go up.

Your system would fail in the same way. You answered yourself here.

You are saying that when you take a tower is is worth 10 points. When I take a tower it is worth less. That DOES mean your time would be more valuable than mine.

Quarion.2538:

The problem is NOT NIGHT CAPPING. The problem is that 80% of the oceanic guilds are all on one server. HoD. Without their oceanic coverage they wouldn’t dominate. There needs to be some way to spread the community out. My two cents

Lastnight at about 1am ish PST, we (Hod) had the outmanned buff on Henge borderlands.

I still like my ‘sister-server’ idea… or a variation of it. The top NA servers sister server would be the bottom EU server. The top EU sisters server would be bottom NA server. And the second place would sister with the second to last etc. etc. You can travel freely to your sister server during that week. The idea would be to not only get YOUR server to the top, but your sister server as well. It might give incentive to go help the underpopulated servers.

Whatever the dailies reset is, I think. 5pm pst?

Gear scales with level. So a level 30 warrior in all level 30 gear is maximized for damage. Once he hits level 33 in his same level 30 gear he is doing less damage.

Also, Thieves have a tough time til 80 in all 80 gear. (This has been my observation of thieves. I do not play one)

Also, in wvw, having all the orbs on my side, (exotic toughness build) I have taken the most damage from a warrior. 10,421 from eviscerate. But thieves often kill me quicker IMO but I never have the hard data to support that because it is never 1 huge attack.

The jumping puzzle used to only give 2 siege blueprints. Do they give 5 now???

LoD always has my respect! I remember them from Shadowbane days. They are great pvpers. They seem to lack the numbers atm, but even what they do have should be feared imo. They have a great group. NEVER underestimate them

I don’t know how feasible it sounds, but it does sound fun!

Hitting with AOE through walls isn’t actually an exploit.

edit: I guess I mean doors.

You right click their name or nameplate if you have them selected and choose report.
