Lock server transfers ASAP.

Your reward will be based on the server you log into the first time once the season starts. You can transfer as much as you like, but you will still get the reward from that first server.

You seriously don’t see any problem with this?

Will Gem prices ever again fall below 3 Gold?

ArenaNet have consistently created;

  • new farmable content, and at the same time
  • desirable items for the gem store.

This combo will drive the value of gold through the floor. It seems to be a workable business model, but don’t expect to be able to afford anything in the gem store without the mighty RL$ in your hand.

New addition for SM: Asura Laser

in WvW

Posted by: Svarty.8019

Svarty.8019

What do you think about a last addition for SM? The Asura Laser!

It will be possibile make the laser only if the all other updates are done; it will fire a giant AOE that will hit whatever camp, tower or keep in the map but the laser will fire only each 5 minutes!

What do you think? I’m crazy? -

ps: soryy for bad grammar

I think this should be implemented as follows:
1) It is loaded up with supply to charge it – can be loaded up any time and the charges stay forever until fired
2) Can only be fired when you have the outmanned buff

STEALTH stomping needs to stop.

I think it’s not the first time I see that thread subject.

Indeed, but you aren’t allowed to bump old threads on the topic, but you aren’t allowed to post new threads on the topic. Hypocrisy abounds! Here is the nonsense Anet emailed me. “Current, active thread”, needs more clarity -first page? First 10 pages? Within a month? What is current?

Greetings,

While you are correct that common courtesy dictates you post in an existing thread on a topic before opening a new one, this courtesy applies to active threads on the forum. [..] Posting in a thread that has been inactive for this long is called “necroposting” and is frowned upon. If you are unable to find a current, active thread on a topic you would like to discuss, then by all means start a new one. However, it is very rarely acceptable to bring back a thread from last year in order to make a point.

Anyway, I agree with the OP, stealth needs to break much more easily. Giving invisibility to a class with super high damage is an invitation for trolling. The stealth stomp is a symptom of Arenanet’s lack of forethought on this topic, yet a simple fix has been available forever and they haven’t shown any remorse over the decision to leave these awful mechanics in the game. Working as intended, thus it is clear that Arenanet’s intention is to have a troll class that can kill people from a position of impunity.

People who want a sterile room with two zergs in it should have nothing to do with WvW.

Most of the hardcore WvW guilds are the ones that want GvG. Are you saying that these guilds should have nothing to do with WvW?

When GvGing, yes. They should get no rewards for GvG. To me it is tantamount to the organised trading of lootbags.

I think Devon deserves a kitten medal for his slew of responses in WvW topics.

Even if WvW is in a terrible place right now, and maybe it will be for several months into the future, he’s at least acknowledging there are issues and trying to offer the changes he wants to implement.

I just wanted to say thanks. Especially after seeing so few responses from Devs in other places where responses are desperately needed. (COUGH Ele forum..)

Let’s continue to repair the broken WvW climate.

I agree. Devon’s doing a great job under difficult circumstances. His responses on a forum that is notoriously (and perhaps rightly) critical are always welcome.

WvW - Squad Improvement

in Suggestions

Posted by: Svarty.8019

Svarty.8019

Here are my three ideas for improving Squads

1. Each commander is allocated a unique colour for their icon randomly on flag-up.

2. Squad Campaign Icon – Commander chooses from a pallet of mini-icons. This icon floats near each person in the squad like the Ellen Kiel/Evon Gnashblade supporter icon. Everybody can see people in other squads’ icons. This icon is the same colour as the commander tag.

3. Minimap dots for ONLY people in a squad are the same colour as the commander tag. (make commander icons always appear above normal dots, maybe put a border around the icon to make it stand out).
This doesn’t result in rainbow map as there are only ever two colours – the colour of the commander, and all the normal pale greens.

To me, a challenge means having a reasonable chance in a fight, which can offer some fun, but being downed in 1 hit from that many HP is simply ludicrous. Through perseverance I managed to defeat 3 of them, but when same thing happened in the 4th round i simply gave up and won’t be back there again. Being 1-shotted all the time and dying over and over again, is not my idea of fun!

World ranks

in WvW

Posted by: Svarty.8019

Svarty.8019

Because with this system they can add ranks without touching the existing ones, in the other way you propose they should modify the entire ranking system each time they add a rank.

This is indeed why the system is built as it is. It is also intended to last for a very, very long time. Beyond that, we are going to be continuing to increase the rate at which you gain those ranks.

But you are going to change the names to be more in-keeping with the rest of the game as you said before, right?

Server Match up is terrible

in WvW

Posted by: Svarty.8019

Svarty.8019

Fix is simple, limit the amount of players per map from each server. Those on larger servers will just have to wait in que, or move to a lower pop server. They could also add more maps to accommodate the lower players per map. It won’t work perfectly but I think it would help, it would also help on the lag.

there is a third, and MUCH cooler option. have champion strength NPC’s randomly take towers.

Imagine if you have, say, one of jormags servants suddenly taking over Hills. Random timer, so it can’t be made “preparations for it”. Only warning you get is a 5 minute notice in the form of “World event notice”. Then suddenly, BANG a sea-snake charges bay or a mega ogre something takes hills…

You’d need a zerg to stop em. And they’d defend the towers fiercy, if they managed to get em.

Say you lose hills to a NPC. The walls would have patrols on them with veteran strength NPC’s. You’d have to siege it, and the enemies would be no less challenging then fighting a small zerg.

We DON’T need more PVE in WvW.

The evidence is against you.

Arenanet, please go back to the old system before working on a better version of this. The current system is diabolical, abysmal, terribad and makes me want to quit.

Where exactly is this game heading?

in WvW

Posted by: Svarty.8019

Svarty.8019

Swamurabi.7890

The game is headed in the direction of a re-balance.
1. change map population cap to force players away from top servers
Anet has already made changes to player cap and said they can change this at any time.
2. Stat buff for outmanned AND outpointed servers as well as stat de-buff for high population AND high PPT servers
I don’t see any way of making the game “balanced” and FUN for everyone without this.

I agree very strongly with these, particularly point 1. The fact is that too many people are piling into too few servers and if the only disincentive Anet can offer is massive queues by having less people per map (also aiding the lag issues), then that’s what they should do.

Swamurabi.7890

3. Change from server bases WvWvW to faction based WvWvW, with “overflow” instances added for more players.
We already have 3 factions in GW2, Vigil, Priory and Order of Wispers.

I would have preferred it if the game was like this to begin with, but Anet designed it to be WvW, so WvW it has to be. This is core to the game.
