Guild Wars 2

PM’d to support this thread not sure why cos not very active on these forums.

Good on you Diku for trying to mix things up alittle and fix wvw which is my most favoured game type. Unfortunately, I don’t see anything here that is going to make wvw a better place for me.

I like playing in a variety of times across my server with a variety of nationalities, can’t see how this proposal isn’t going to destroy this for me despite your claims otherwise. I just want to jump in and play not have to run a diary of who of my many friends is going where and when. Sometimes it’s hard enough getting guildies and friends together even when they are on the same server so I think the logistics may just be too difficult with “globes”. I have to agree with one other poster that did say…“things will just end up as they are anyway” The globes strike me as just another name for servers, may as well just merge some servers and see what happens, it will certainly mix things up alittle without a total reboot. This along with a scoring rejig away from the focus on PPT might be just enough to fix WvW

Some globes will have more appeal than others, that is the way of human nature. The "globes " that everyone will want to play in will always be full…the globes cannot have infinite numbers purely with server logistics. There has to be a cap as there are already issues with map blobs and lag in fights as we all well know.

WvW needs vastly better and unique rewards for combative play not for pve within wvw.
WvW needs less emphasis on PPT and more reward for fights
WvW needs less lag and more consistency in ping-this has improved somewhat but is nowhere near perfect.
New bl’s have some good ideas but generally there is a kitten ton of running for not alot of fights.

Ready for your standard reply of “think you have misunderstood” to any post that doesnt support the “globes”…but I think I understand very well thanks.

+1 Great write-up Fozzik!

Also getting random immobilisation in game in the last day or two, very frustrating. I play from New Zealand.

Not in favour of XP to level mastery. Would be better to attain mastery levels by an achievement at each level with less weight on xp…far less of a grind. Gliding, mushrooms are meant to be a fun aspect of the game not a grind to get.

Definitely agree with the mastery UI comments. Activation and training are unclear, these need to be improved.

Revenant hammer 3 seemed to cause a slight camera rotation which I did not like. Was annoying to have to reset view all the time.

Liked the detail in the plants, some areas of the map were beautiful but generally disliked the chaotic feel of the maze. Found it difficult to navigate, this may be better with gliding/mushroom masteries.

Really liked the fact that frogs were riding beetles and some of the mobs were also mounted.

I have to agree with Lonewalker.4027 regarding the day/night rhythm and the events. My impression was that the night events were rather repetitive and got “old” rather quickly. The event objectives generally were not altogether clear. So with this and being frustrated with the “maze” map was left feeling slightly dissatisfied with the experience BUT nevertheless very pleased to have had the opportunity to participate in this BETA and will look forward to others.

Definitely needs a level up alert. Mastery interface could do with some improvement as well.

I for one am pleased to see this series of posts and the fact that the lag in wvw is being looked into and hopefully fixed.

After lodging at least two tickets with support about extreme lag in wvw, all I have had from them is to blame my isp. When everyone has been complaining in game about lag…something doesn’t ring true. And yes I am playing T1 in NA…

So thank you Stephen and thank you for being honest. Big kudos to you and I hope that you get to sort the lag soon.

I’m playing from New Zealand and on JQ server. Ping is definitely an issue especially in pvp and wvw. Latency in excess of 2000ms and up to 4600ms this week just ruins the experience. Who wants to die all the time because of latency?

I have had terrible latency in JQ wvw, getting up to 4000ms ping in fights which = dead.
Tried WTfast and this seemed to work ok but a fellow guildie said it is a botnet. So is it ok to use as a vpn for GW2??

Totally agree. Anet please can you make it so we can mix and match hats. Please pretty please with a cherry on top

I’ve seen these “Why LFG?” threads before and also in game….

I have a question Why NOT LFG? Do some people have an aversion to being in a group?

I always group when I can because it means a better chance to get loot, its easy and no big deal so why wouldn’t you?

Check out the scouts in Wayfarer Foothills they will direct you to the heart that you are missing.

The thing that I really find annoying about the new TP is the fact that it doesn’t hold your place when selling. The continual scrolling to return to the place you want to be is a nightmare.

I like the WvW part of map completion, it gives me a far greater sense of achievement than the PVE map. Nothing better than getting map completion and 2 gifts of exploration from taking a cap in WvW. Much more of a challenge than PVE, it may include a few deaths but thankfully its not real life :P

Thank you for making adjustments so that i can now see my mini! Very much appreciated.

Ooops found it , they have changed the Bjarni hare food locale

Missing a heart in Wayfarer Foothills, seems to be the Grimarr Molesmasher heart which is not triggering for me, anyone else having an issue with Wayfarer Hills completion?

Yep agree!
And refund on minis too now that these are hidden as Anet intended.

Yes this sucks on so many levels, the spent gems, gold and now the binding totally screws us all over….and no word from Anet apart from saying “working as intended”
GFrom this statement they must have known that minis wouldn’t display in game with the megaserver system so why promote it as a feature?

I’m glad that I didn’t buy any minis after the feature pack announcement was made, the prices on tp skyrocketed. I would be furious if I had spent a whole lot of money buying minis before the marvelous “feature pack”

I have bound all my favorites only to be able to see them in preview….really angry now.

Sadly it would seem that minis are working as intended….

Stealth nerf in the guise of a “feature”….OMG disappointment with this patch just gets worse by the moment

Its not a bug….just found this in
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Customer-Support-9-9-Feature-Build/first#post4391210

Why Anet Why? While the mini wardrobe system is a good idea no point in it if I can’t use my mini in game….REVERT

Please, please, please make missing animations a bug….a huge part of the appeal of GW2 is the little quirks that animations and the like bring to the game.

I hope it’s a bug but with the message it kinda sounds intentional….

Now if there was the same message when people activated their commander tags….. :P

Why did they sell the mini wardrobe as a QoL change in the feature pack when really it is a huge nerf to minis….

I can understand that it is a server performance issue but surely Anet should have thought about this before it was implemented?? It’s a no brainer! Surely all bright ideas should be first tested against server performance before being implemented.

What’s the point of having minis if they are going to continually suppressed due to “performance issues” and what’s the point of making them more accessible if they cannot be seen?? None of us knew this would happen when we spent gems on minis. Seems like alot of wasted work on Anet’s part to disappoint those of us who were looking forward to the accessibility of our minis.

I was thrilled to hear about changes so that minis would be part of the wardrobe and would not have to be re summoned at map changes….I love running around with my minis in tow.

Now I am incredibly disappointed to see that they are being suppressed due to player numbers on the map. Curiously, when I get a message about low map numbers and the offer to map switch I still cannot display my mini in that map. Tried different graphics settings but still no mini

For people who have paid gems or good gold for these it is unacceptable to now find them hidden in general play. Bit like buying an outfit or weapon skin and not have that visible…outrageous really

Please fix this Anet! I love my minis and I want to see them.

Mate, with all due respect. I did attack other mobs and the Wurm itself in phase 1, I did after all get the wurm champ bag so I think that I “participated” in the event, didn’t do anything different in this last run to that in the previous where I got the loot so don’t think that’s it unfortunately. I try to go to wurm daily so have participated in quite a number of runs so know the fight well. But this is happening 2 or 3 times a week! That’s alot of wasted time, effort and loot!

Have also done it not as a condi and still not got the Wurm chest, attacked all mobs cept husks and guess what….no wurm chest!

Anets official response (not holding my breath) cos it will say something like this….this is a recognised bug and we are working on it, please visit the forums to check if there are any announcements regarding this issue.

sigh meanwhile it still goes on….

This is getting beyond the joke, this has happened to me too many times lately.

Yep posted bug in game, yep sent in support ticket…..this is still happening and more times to me than not. ANET please fix this.

Yup, now posted in the forum…as per glib instruction from support.

Once again was doing condi at cobalt wurm, got champ bag but no gold chest.

Buggy releases are a major turn off IMO. This latest release was sooo bugged was there any QA pre release? And this pay gems after two weeks to access the story is just wrong!
The story around the LS is quite cool but the implementation is a turn off.

As for Anet including content that people have asked for….people have been asking for alot of content outside the LS and this would be more beneficial to the game than some random LS. Who is going back to replay this stuff in 6 months time especially when the open world events will be dead….

Please Anet, feature patch incoming!

Well the latest LS patch was bugged beyond belief on the first day and now go back to play it again, the open world events are DEAD already and some still bugged. It is getting more difficult to stay positive and interested about the new LS after this latest frustrating release.

Feature patch overdue!!

Blaeys.3102 great post!
Certainly sums up tidily what would keep people interested and coming back to GW2. New PvP modes and goals/events in WvW are well overdue as is fresh guild orientated content. Stuff for guilds to do together has been largely overlooked so far.

I have enjoyed the LS2 so far but it does not keep me in Dry Top past working through the story and cheevos. I certainly hope that I am pleasantly surprised as Anet add to Dry Top as the living story unfolds but I hope that they are also prioritizing improvements to the game in general.

Several of our guild GW1 vets have expressed disappointment with the current living story and I have to wonder whether the drip feed release of the LS is itself a flaw. A complete expansion type release would probably go along way to answering alot of criticism about the LS. The new content drip feed doesn’t provide enough challenge to last through until the next patch! I certainly see these guys logging on less and less as they become bored with the game in it’s present state. Anet should be concerned at losing loyal GW fans. As friends leave the game, the game itself becomes less enjoyable and the attrition continues.

Have been doing Triple Trouble with TTS for a few weeks and this last week I have not received the champ bag drop from the cobalt wurm after a successful kill. Received the Wurm’s gold chest and the ground chest at Firthside wp but no champ bag.
Tried submitting a bug report and can’t seem to do that either

Anyone else not getting their champ bag from wurm?

Thanks Shadow so it does. Checked the patch notes but not the wiki. Still think its pretty random. o.O

Yesterday I got 5 dragon chests from the Ultimate Citizen’s Rescue Bag. Is this a bug? Haven’t seen dragon chest since the Dragon Bash! Anyone else get these?

Stuck in combat with no mobs around…..
Has happened to me alot since the last big patch. It is very frustrating.

LF more kiwis to play with. Mature kiwi, level 80 on multiple toons into WvW and some PVE currently on SOS and not really looking to transfer

Life isn’t fair so get used to it. It amuses me how people get all entitled about fairness in WvW. It’s a game, its worldwide, it doesn’t mean anything really and it is what it is. Your character dies, your server loses or wins…no big deal, real life goes on.

Like the humour in the OP’s original post definitely good for a chuckle

Lol GW2 is a game…so many too serious about this coverage thing.
There are other time zones apart from NA and EU (yes shock horror) but there isn’t qq from the other time zones about “night capping”.
I prefer field fights myself, some matchups it doesn’t happen, so I don’t do wvw that week..so what not gonna cry about it.
Is everyone so hung up on the new “shinies” for server placings?? Skritt for brains!
Chill out and play what you like, leave what you don’t like.

I have had the same issue. Mail arrived on my WvW toon but it isn’t there anymore and I certainly didn’t delete it.

After many, many times trying with 0 jumps on the clock….until listening to TS on Blackgate someone mentioned that if you stand in the zerg jumping non stop, waves or not then you will get it. Did that and got the cheevo that run! Not sure if anything has changed as this was a few weeks ago but you could give it a try.

I’ve noticed this in WvW, SOS server. Not had too much trouble in the past but this week WvW is very difficult to play with the lag. TTS Tequatl fights are also pretty bad this week but those are on overflow. Yesterdays 10pm fight I was stuck in one spot rubberbanding backward & forward from the first battery phase, skills not able to be used
Lag is crippling the game

I ahve noticed the same as Mayhem. Lag is terrible since the patch, anything beyond a few people and skills are non responsive.
TC, Mag, SOS matchup and the skill lag on EB was terrible last night. I gave up in the end was impossible to do anything especially in the 3 way fight in SM. I wasn’t the only one, map chat was full of lag complaints.
Please Anet fix this quickly.

Missed 7, invite to 8 please.

Must’ve gotten missed re the invite. Teq kill experienced Oceanic…looking for more kills pls invite and PM if there is a problem please. Thanks

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to the people on teamspeak and typing on the map chat who organise the Teq fights on Blackgate. I have guested there off and on over the past few days with sucess and failure. You guys are awesome and thanks for making the effort. It is fun!

Invite me please

Please invite me.

I was stuck on 12/13 until a couple of days ago. Did a molten alliance event and 13/13 popped. :-)
