With the rendering issues being even worse NOW is the time to maintain that permanent invisi!

The only issue I see is that it might be hard to find targets.

Why must once a problem occurs everyone yell “Nerf”? If the mesmir’s portals are a problem just add a item in the game that you buy that closes them! Ive lost way to many games from the proverbial nerf bat! Lets add to the game and not nerf everything!!

This ^^^

Is actually an interesting idea. While the rendering/portal combo is ridiculous in that a fairly large organised guild can wipe 1/2 the zerg before they even know what happened.
I agree that nerfing is always a horrible way to go. Buffing things to counter it makes much more sense, people generally complain less via this approach too.

A mesmer that can cast an anti-portal skill? (FB like that)

Don’t nerf things…

Far better to buff something to counter w/e it is you intend to nerf than actually nerfing.

I don’t disagree with this thread as perhaps am rather more over them. Everything you have just said has been posted in some way shape or form previously.

I’m at the stage where I would just like to know what ArenaNet is doing.
They have touched on some points:

- night capping
- fly hacking
- rendering issues

I’d like to see an update on some of these points and explain what (if anything) they are doing about aspects of the game such as servers dominating 100% of the map.

Romerio.8763:

Players exploiting a bug need to be dealt with separately from the bug itself.

To many organised teams know, that if they zerg through a portal together, they will have a certain period of invisibility to use as an advantage.

Is the exploit? or tactics/strategy?

For now its a legitimate strategy, for Anet this can hardly be ‘working as intended’.

I’m actually starting to learn towards they need to look at mesmer portals if they cant solve the rendering issue. I actually didn’t want to single mesmer’s out but seeing what guilds can do with the rendering/portal combo. I just got sick of the repair cost alone….

This is getting to the point where im considering dropping WvWvW until something is done about it… Its a vital part of the make up of WvWvW and for such a large issue to have come up and still be in launch… I don’t care what you say but its shocking.

Please fix rendering/visibility/culling of enemies on screen during altercations like this!!

Lolz I actually came here to post for this very reason.

I had for a time not been too bothered by the rendering issue.

However some guilds with regards to the rendering issues use mesmer portals to devastating effect. They have become very good at exploiting it.

To the extent that by the time everything loads half your team has wiped. You simply can’t operate under those conditions when your part of the generic zerg. It simply makes you want to hide in your keep, knowing that if you venture out an invader is liable to pop outta know where.

Just better if the smarter people at least have the choice to ignore commanders if they so choose and turn off their icons.

Ok the title is attention grabbing but still relevant.

Given the scale that WvW operates on do we expect too much?

I just came from EB where we have lost everything again.
I know I know: Transfer server, mobilise friends/guildies to take something back, just wait till server reset? etc etc.

I guess I just wanted to start a thread that was are we taking WvW too seriously?

I like WvW and GW2 but I don’t really want to smack my head against a brick wall either, as I’ve seein regular scenarios where 1 server 100% dominates 2 others, I know this isn’t the case for all but I get the impression it’s most.

In any event I guess I’m thinking I should just chill and try again tomorrow and see if my server has something to work with. If not wait till server reset and give it a go next week, meanwhile I’ll go do something else. I realise that’s passing the buck but what can I say, it’s more fun to have a supply camp/tower to work with rather than running around in open ground dodging arrows.

Thought Mr Magoo had an interesting point (although he never elaborated on it).

Last week everyone stopped going into WvW. We were getting 100% dominated and for 4 days I never had to queue.

Now that we have had server reset the queue has exploded because we can actually do something again.

I can only hope that 1 of the 3 servers dominate this week within the next few days to reduce my time in the queue.

I’m hoping it’s my server again, just like the week before last, so I can farm the jumping puzzle on my different toons again.

azizul.8469:

i think one of the reason why people from established guilds reluctant to move to servers with lower population where they can have 24-hour coverage if they do is because of the guild influence/upgrades reset…..

may be, if A-Net can remove that penalty, we can see population balance kicking in sooner…

Was thinking this too. I guess I thought if they were going to do it they would have done it by now.

I’m assuming that free transfers will stop soon which makes this good idea too late. Perhaps it was too hard to implement and that’s why it didn’t happen.
