Keep going. Keep going. We want a game that is fun, not “grind x”, “farm y”, “zerg z”
SPvP: no reason to play
WvW: zergfest, more numbers you win. Is that supposed to be strategy, grandscale combat?!
Ascended items have such a little effect in wvw lol, if you lose a 1v1 or whatever it’s because you messed up or you’re just bad. The chances that the few extra stats could have made a difference is really kittening low lol, be realistic here, also they’re pretty easy to get anyway, trinkets especially.
Really ?
Multiple reasons… and all of them wrong.
Yes please yes! Remove it!
The FoW new guild must feel great. Lol saddos.
/reads topic title
“DIEEEEEEE! PvE players don’t have a place in WvW”
/joke
Aside from that. Nice, you love WvW!
Vabbi doesn’t buy castles. Thanks.
winks at Vabbi’s little Conqueror
A new secret plan to scare enemies?
Lol @ FoW trying to get briar for half an hour. There were only 5-10 guys defending against your, what was it, 40?
This thread is full of bull kitten.
Me and a mate (both guardians with good gear and build and competent) fought 2 hammer warriors yesterday. Was a nice fight, but we won.
Boohoo, cry babies cry
I find the Imp/Zero drama quite funny. I’m friends with both sides, and I find it sad that both sides couldn’t come to an agreement. Your on the same server for Christ sake, if you cant stand each other, there is 3 BL’s and an EB, spread away from each other, and behave lol.
There’s nothing to come to an agreement over that’s the thing, we are quite happy to co-operate with people if they ask us nicely – e.g “hey could you keep them busy here while we…” (although we aren’t fussed with winning so we aren’t going to be coming to weekly meetings or stuff like that ^^), but we object to people joining a zone and saying “Turn off your tags or GTFO” to other people on the server and then call anyone who disagrees with their methods useless.
As for the second thing in the evening, we had done exactly what you suggested and changed zone to get away from them.. they followed :P
It’s more Zero drama than anything, they’re aggressive to the entire server, hell it started with them telling other people to leave the zone! Only reason we are even involved (as you may have noticed we are generally quiet in game and stay separate) is because unlike most we don’t care if they leave, so we’re willing to stand up and tell them to stop acting like they own the place. We’ve had enough of big guilds coming to low tiers and throwing weight around in the past, and from what I’ve seen so do several Vabbi ^^
Oh I agree which is probably why me, Hybrid and Jamo troll these larger guilds that want to come to Vabbi and help (ruin) the friendly community that we have, with invalid information, snarky comments, and general hate, example you seen how nasty we got to that person that came from “Piken Square” w/ Hybrid, and the German guild with 400+ players w/ Jamo.
No guild in their right mind wants to come to Vabbi to “help” the server grow, because simply most of us don’t want it to grow or get bigger.
Two reasons why I’m on Vabbi.
- No WvW waiting, No Queues.
- No Overflows
Vabbi is a quite place, yes there is a little drama here from time to time, but is mainly internal and and solved quickly.
We tend to welcome all new guilds on Vabbi and even new ones that transfer here, but no one really knows what goes on inside Vabbi, then when all these new guilds show up and start demanding that we do something wrong, or we’re not doing it right, then we have a problem. I believe there is a term called “elitist” or simply “jerks” will also work.
I’ve did my fair bit for Vabbi, I give the Vabbi WvW players a Team speak 3 server to use, a community website, I tell you no new guild will join Vabbi and demand anything from me or my guild, because I wont stand for it.
We’ve been doing alright for ourselves so far and we don’t need to be told what we do wrong. I think many from Vabbi will also agree that if you do something that works for you, why change? Change only if something new is brought to the table.
I find the Imp/Zero drama quite funny. I’m friends with both sides, and I find it sad that both sides couldn’t come to an agreement. Your on the same server for Christ sake, if you cant stand each other, there is 3 BL’s and an EB, spread away from each other, and behave lol.
On a serious note, Why’s Vabbi getting focused like crazy eh? You guys be trollin’ us eh?
I swear if I go to bed and see a WP in Vabbi thats not meant to be there, I’ll know you guys be trollin’![]()
(WSR almost had a Hills one before I got off)Nice match up so far, Im currently on 9/15 season achievements, anyone higher? (would be 10/15 if SM didnt glitch so often :/ )
most of the time when we of wsr go to vabbi bl is to cap green stuff away atleast i am i didn’t siege alot of red in vabbi territory :P. however most of our players dont like it when vabbi enters our bls when fow controls yours so they decide to target red.
ahh and to fow screen says enough :P.
fun fights for us so far ^^.
Ofcourse, your blue, attacking Red wont earn you the points to stay ahead, but attacking red also means that we’ll attack back, sure EB is open season, but you dont want to have to defend your BL and EB at once from two foes.
As red we’ll mainly attack Green to gain the most points, that changes when Blue takes the lead.
It also works both ways as well, when your BL is Green, the chooooooo chooooooo karma commanders will attack you.
I love the small numbers vabbi has. It makes the WvW more challenging and the community more close.
Warriors are the easiest class ever to counter. I have no idea what you guys are on about. Personally I kill a lot more people using my guardian and thief than with a warrior.
Just try them both out. Take your time. Enjoy and certainly (!!!) don’t think about ascended.
Silver League EU: definitely not UW.
Underworld is in the wrong league imo. They are getting rocked.
I’m on OP on this, WvW has gotten very shallow and boring, commanders are running round capping tower——-caping camp——capping tower——-capping camp——-losing tower——-losing camp——-losing tower—-losing camp and the cycle starts all over again.
So these lemming blobs running around a big circle capping loosing capping loosing.I mean I thought people played for the PVP not PVE, but sadly these armchairs generals do play it for the PVE, its all about the chest in the end, screw defending let em have the tower we recap it in 10min so we get our shinies.
That’s something I can agree with. BUT, some people still play it with tactic instead of blunt old blob power. It’s amazing to choke a blob with a small group of players and getting away with it.
Nice match-up so far. You guys have a bit more numbers than Vabbi, but we make up for that in skill (Lol) :P
Personally I love to defend towers, keeps and castle. Just yesterday Vabbi managed to capture Stonemist from 2 superior force servers and we had to fight for around half an hour to defend it. In the end we got overwhelmed, but our force of somewhat 30 players held out against 30 players from FoW and at least 50 from Whiteside Ridge.
That’s very nice.
I don’t see it as something that is ‘top priority’, but it sure will make WvWvW more interesting as end-game and lets not forget Arenanet is giving this to us without asking money for it. Thanks!
T2 as well – but I think they’re broken. A guildie zipped right into EBG just after I entered the queue (which I remained in for about 35 minutes)
I was in que for our BL (SBI BL) for 2 hours last night, when I heard someone on teamspeak say they just got in after 10 minutes. I was so ticked off. I requeued like he did and no dice. So, I finally queued for DB BL, and got in after 20 minutes. Then queued for SBI BL, and eventually got in.
But, it is reset night.
now, SBI BL being queued around 1:30 pm est time on saturday, isn’t normal. kitten , jumping puzzles.
Surprise suprise? You’re n°1 server of NA silver league…
This post make me feel great about my choice to stay on Kaineng when nearly everyone left.
I GET TO PLAY.
It makes me feel great that I transferred to the server that is classified as the lowest. Hahaha. I get no queues AND great battles without a lot of zergs or skill lagg.
>stack on server
>surprised when population increases lock you out of wvwWhile I don’t really have much sympathy, having those server transfers at a reduced price for another week certainly wouldn’t be taken poorly.
Agree
No queue on lowest european tier. :P
:) I think I posted months ago, but I’m still here and I still think is a top priority.
Ok? Why do you have to make a point about there being spears in the game? The way they’re used now (as a game mechanic, stabby-stabby) isn’t even close to the way the paragon used them.
I also want to add: I have not defended the idea of implementing the paragon. The fact that he used a spear though, was the only reason I could see him be implemented as a special class, because the rest is all in guardian and warrior class already.
That really is a very interesting suggestion.
- Spears:… not in-game yet
Spear is an underwater weapon.
The way they were used for paragon was not. They were used as projectiles.
Since I played a ton of classes:
- Guardian: make sword useful. N°3 skill is rather bad and misses more often than not.
- Warrior: fix greatsword: only skills that are useful are N°5 gap closer and N°3 with some aoe. 100 blades is a lame and rather easy-to-avoid skill.
- Engineer: more aoe weapons: make weapons something to use, right now only toolkits have a big use, and shield off-hand.
- Thief: don’t force people to go paper way.
- Elementalist: dual weapons please: each weapon has limited uses and the elementalist is pretty crappy for melee when on staff, and pretty crappy for long-range when on daggers. Make scepter/focus viable.
- Mesmer: again, don’t force people to go paper way.
I played engineer and thief at level 80. I think thief is the more interesting as a roamer. A lot of mobility, stealth for evasion. Engineer has a lot of mobility aswell, BUT, it doesn’t have the stealth. It also takes a lot more skill to use engineer to place a kill.
Tonight Chemso reached 250k WvW kills. I believe he earnt around 200k while in RG and got the last 50k while in Scnd.
http://www.twitch.tv/chemsorly/c/3105194
Congrats on your tireless dedication Chemso!
Congrats for running around zerging? Nahh, that’s not at all difficult. At most it’s boring.
It is also the case, that we want people playing all the parts of the game, so there are always going to be optimal ways to get specific rewards and those may not always include WvW. We are building the whole of GW2 and we try and balance things across all the game types.
Look with all due respect for the great work provided.. i dont really care so much what -you- want me to play in my free time.
I (you remember … the customer .. which provides recurring revenue through so many of your gems) enjoy a specific aspect of this game which is wvw. apologies. play how you want was advertised. great, here i am. dont try to hassle me now.Without trying to be picky about the sentence in special, the core message still comes around like a Fast Food service stating: “yes eh we appreciate your interest in our burgers but you have to eat 9 chicken nuggets with bitter sweet sacuce before i can pass you the burger you ordered. sorry kid. dont like it ? well too bad for you. allergic to chicken ? well pass it to your friends. we do like our chicken nuggets and think everybody should enjoy all possible flavours our kitchen can provide.”
For myself, I never saw an instance nor did i ever saw any town beside the start towns.r do i care about ? not. at. all.
Could make them buyable, achievable, whatever but anyway present in or through wvw.
the guys with the least time are regurally the ppl with enough spare money to buy gems trying to catch up with the scolars, students etc in their clans and stay competitive enjoying the game experience with their pals.
you already abandoned some initial promises (no item spiral). i´d suggest to carefully elaborate and leverage further design decisions and the necessities for gameplay enforcements.
try to not turn borderlands sunken arena into an analogy.
customer loyalty is earned, not a given.cheers,
nirax/ germany.
Agree wholeheartedly! Respect!
i pretty much only play wvw and i have about 750 dragonite ore so far.
not as much as i’d get in pve but i dont feel like i have to pve to get it either.
Oh wait… you’re one of those Tier 1 ‘pro’ players that run around in a 80 people blob right?
You know what…? There are people who want ACTUAL skill fights.
The imbalance between rewards in WvW and in PvE is a reason I have not made any tries whatsoever toward getting ascended. You want WvW players to play PvE so they can stay on a competitive level in WvW?! Screw that.
Make queues depend on WvW Rank all above 80 gets VIP Status and all <80 should wait cause that are all PvE gamers.
Then does that mean if I;m new to the game and want to try WvW… I get shafted?
I agree with Xae. Haralin, this is totally elitist, please refrain from making posts like this. Very very egoistic. This is coming from a player who leveled 7 characters to 80 aswell, so mind what you say.
Gold:
Those are just blobbers altogether. Might aswell delete all of the servers.
Silver:
Blobbadon’s Mouth
Desolation
Gandara
Bronze:
Not enough experience in these.
Addition:
Leagues are insignificant, they only show who has more coverage (and blobs) than someone else. Good job Anet.
(edited by Sirendor.1394)
1. Server imbalance & skill lagg
2. Alts: make them as strong as level 80s
3. Ascended gear: no
Sounds like an elder scrolls game. If they only ever made a MMO…
I lol’d
The only heavy class that coukld fill up the gap would be something along the lines of either:
- A Dragoon (the Halberd using Sky Jumper) / made a very long time ago a concept for that here)
- A Partizan (similar like a Dragoon but a different more neutral theme and imo that, how Anet should have named the Paragon, because pargon, is ,will be neaver and was name a “class” at all in terms of the word itself, being a partizan is a class in terms of the word)
- A Crusader
The Crusader could be the counterpart of the guardian that is more dark themed.
Crusader absolutely sounts 1000x bette,r then such childish stuff like Shadow Knight, Dark Knight, Death Knight and so on…
Also crusaders are also a term, that exists already in the lore of GW2.
They are a rank among the vigil currently, but it would also absolutely fit as a class of a soldier type.All 3 fit perfectly into the class naming scheme of ANet (all class names have only 1 word, not 2 ala dark knight).
All 3 would be unique for GW2 or could be implemented in a complete unique way with features that play out unique in GW2 at least, in regard of the Dragoon, that isn’t so unique, and quite popular only so far among the final fantasy MMo universe…
However, if needed, we could name it also “Lancer”, its the more used and known term for that kind of spear/halberd/lance/glaive/warscythes specialist ect. that is good in using those mid range weapons
Crusader automatically has a religious taint. Instead go for Dominator, Inquisitor, Cleaver or use this site (http://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=wackyclass) and come up with a name like Origamiologer (I didn’t make it up).
Someone say Paragon? If any heavy professions comes back, I seriously hope it is this.
What aspect of paragon precisely?
- Shouts: warrior
- Motivation/heals: guardian
- Spears:… not in-game yet
Is the spear criteria enough to make a unique class? If it has multiple weapons… what makes it any different from guardian/warrior?
If they are intentionally farming each other than that goes against the spirit of the gamem mode and should be banned. Other games do not encourage such a gamestyle.
Indeed. This is exploiting.
General
- Alt-hate: gear grind, boring leveling, unlocking everything over
- Monetisation: everything is about money or another currency in this game
PvE:
- Farming issues – champions, world bosses, temples
- Living world – ‘garbage content’
- Roleplaying & jumping puzzles – far too little
WvW:
- Ascended gear – pay to win unbalances competition
- Skill lagg – makes certain parts unplayable (especially in EB)
- Leagues – reward blobbing servers

Call out to Fissure of Woe Guardian, Order of Wishpers! You’re very competent, couldn’t really get the edge on you. Good fight ^^
Too bad we couldn’t keep Stonemist from Whiteside Ridge though :P Good fighting from FoW and WSR.
I transferred to the lowest server and have had no complaints of skill lag since. I think the skill lagg is something to be laid at the feet of high population and zerging.
Hey people. We all know a lot of people don’t plan to create any ascended at all:
- Either they don’t have the money
- Or they have alts and don’t care for ascended
- Or they play WvW and hate to do PvE
You get my point.
I think those people deserve to be able to exchange the ascended materials they got (and don’t plan to use), for something that is useful for them. Say: gold, laurels, karma. Give each ascended material a value for each of these:
E.g.: per bloodstone dust: 2.5 silver, 250 karma…
They’re just sitting in my bank. Can’t sell to players nor to npcs. Just let those who don’t want ascended have an alternative to just destroying the materials?
Come to vabbi if you want roaming. I transferred there this week and it’s one of the best servers for it.
I haven’t played living story… since august (the horrible queen’s pavilion). Not going to play it ever again… nor will I play any PvE anymore.
/Troll mode on
You’re supposed to farm after you reached level 80… for a few weeks.
/Troll mode off
^that was actually the truth.
Warrior is the easiest (faceroll) class and doesn’t need a lot of class to play, yet if you want to play it good, you’ll need some skill, not as much as with other classes… but still some.
Engineer on the other hand is the hardest class by far, but is also incredibly rewarding to play when you are skilled at it.
I wonder what else they will think of selling next…
Smallclothes. (second-hand) >:O
Who says we want to get into higher tiers? I came from a high tier and believe me… you don’t want to be there. WvW is full of zergs there, at least here we have a lot of roamers.
