I honestly didn’t see much difference in WvW last night. The pets still die in less than 5 seconds in any large team fight.
IDK but they need to make this a priority. I just came back to game, specifically for WvW play and the lag and constant disconnects are pretty much unbearable…
Specifically I am looking to become a member of a smaller tight knit NA based guild that enjoys WvW tactics over zerging all over the map.
I am looking at YB as I have heard good things but it seems to be at the top of T2 and I am worried it will just be Zerg on Zerg…
I just returned to the game and am looking for a WvW focused PVX guild. I want to focus on mainly WvW but don’t mind occasional PVE content. I am being advised to look for a guild that is primarily in the T2 or T3 server range for smaller group roaming.
Specifically I am looking to become a member of a smaller tight knit NA based guild that enjoys WvW tactics over zerging all over the map.
About Me:
I listen and follow directions well. I make an effort to participate and have fun with guild mates.
I am very NON Drama.
TimeZone/Playtime: EST Most nights from 5pm until bare minimum 10pm.
History: I was a member of the original core group of guilds that took Sanctum of Rall to T1 when the game was released.
I have a long history of MMO’s such as GW1, WoW, DAOC, Shadowbane, and WH.
Preferred Class: Engineer, Ranger, Warrior, or Thief Pretty much in that order.
Willing to Transfer.
Thanks for your time.

I hate using Nades… Like I really hate them. I feel like if I don’t use them I am gimping myself but I much prefer FT…
I just came back to game about 2 weeks ago. When I left I was WPvP 100% of my time in game.
I am looking to transfer to a server that has good small group fighting and solo roaming. I am thinking a T3 server but I am unsure. The current server I am on is t5 and pretty much completely dead of WvW action.
Can you all recommend a good server with some dedicated WvW guilds?
Thanks all. Feels like we got a little bit of the short end of the stick on movement traits also…just my opinion but as a Ranger I feel like we should have top tier movement at least out of combat.
Just curious. I just came back to game and it feels like unless I run Signet of the Hunt I am at a disadvantage. Our only movement trait is TailWind in combat?
^ Guess not…? hehe
I wonder if this build would work in WvW roaming? Seems like it might do ok?
I personally don’t like (pure) condibuilds that much, but a guildi of me postet this totay:
The Vipeneer
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqalcTh6rYJXwdLQ7FLsFV4SdRvG4HWiBgYHFjPBA-TVCEABJoEcG1f2Z/hvPBAqoDgEtAIp8DAzfO/AAIFAMTjA-wPoison is like burning very strong at the Moment. Will give it a try. Cudos and copyright to chad / maesto.
Check out his channel on youtube, maybe he will make a video regarding the Vipeneer. (“ChadGW2”)
Hey thank you!! The Vipeneer is almost exactly the build i have been playing as I level up. So at least I was on the right track.
Thanks so much.
@gnotshr Thanks so much for the reply and the detailed explanation. I really appreciate the help and insight.
So… is Dual Pistol/Condi build not really viable for WvW solo? Reading some disparaging topics on the subject…
Can someone give me a good Dual Pistol WvW roaming build?
Thank you in Advance.
Level a Guardian for all things GW2, including WvW, SPvP, and PVE. But I think my preferred play style would be GS and 1h/Shield. But I am hearing Shield is terrible right now?
Is Guardian decent end game even if I choose to use the kitten weapon set?
If they put in a Spear/Shield combo for Warrior, and had at least one ranged skill to go with the weapon set I would definitely come back to GW2 for that!!
I don’t give two kittens about the name. But I might actually come back to GW2 if I could be a support Shield/Spear, Spear chucking guardian. A bow? Really?…
Thank you all for the responses. I have been reading through the multiple threads on these forums and there still seems be quite a bit of angst that nothing has really been done on the WPvp front.
So I have been away for a long time and I am thinking about coming back. I left because I just got bored of the WvW scene, just felt the map was to small and zerg on zerg was a bit boring.
Has the WvW pvp improved at all?
Is the Spvp still decently fun?
Also, I have 3 80’s – Thief, Warrior, Ranger. But thinking about leveling my 20 Engi or 27 Necro to get back into the game. Are either of those profs viable end game pvp wise?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks, Cannot believe I missed this.
When did SOTH get the 25% movement buff instead of the 10%?
This was one of my biggest gripes at launch.
We would also really like to hear your reasoning behind taking down Wv3 with a 15 second warning, and your plans for in game bingo while people stand around in LA waiting on the buggy Queue
Hey have an awesome suggestion.
You should award some sort of title and a variation of the Asura Robot dance, after you have reported the same bot 20 days in a row!
Anet could add even more titles and more variations to the dance for 30, 40, and 50 days in a row!
This would be awesome and solve the bot issue all together in one stroke! Not like you were doing anything to fix them anyway…
That with a sprinking of “hey I lost fair and square but I’ve been getting a ribbon for a 7th place finish my entire life so I don’t know how to handle losing in a somewhat competative environment:”
I LOL’d
QFT
If they don’t fix the player culling/Invisible enemy issue in Wv3, then Wv3 will die. This latest fix DID NOT fix the issue. And the majority of players that want true competition and massive combat are not going to put up with it much longer

End Thread
Maybe you should try killing more people in Wv3 then. It happens a lot.
I think you need to kill more than two people if you’re getting 50% of players logging out on down. :P
I’ve yet to encounter this. And judging from comment history, we’re both on JQ so server-wise it’s not an issue.
A: You have no idea how many kills I have, but I would be willing to bet I have more 1v1 kills than you do and this is the scenario it happens most in.
B: I may have been exaggerating but not by much. But it has happened far less this match up than the previous.
C: Thanks for necroing my thread.
Why would Anet listen to their players opinions, when those players are completely incapable of getting basic facts straight. Like the fact that most transfers have been from winning/high queue servers to losing/low queue servers, or that most servers have high/full populations and server transfers would therefore be impossible.
Dear Fanboi,
You’re delusional…
Stiv, Some great ideas here. But I am betting it won’t happen. Wv3 feels like an ANet afterthought. Really to bad too, because for myself and scores of others it is THE GW2 endgame.
@fixit. From the core JQ folks we are truly sorry for that. Unfortunately ANet has allowed so many scrubs to transfer to our server I don’t even recognize those two guild tags. I can tell you that the people that have played on JQ from the start do not condone exploiting in anyway, I can’t speak for the others.
Here is a couple of stats for you.
3,347 total kills and exactly 574 badges
Here is another:
4,946 total kills and exactly 505 badges
Pathetic drop rates and why? So people don’t get pvp armor? Or buy to much siege or you know actually have fun…
JQ is always full so people can’t really transfer there. I’m not seeing the issue?
You’re the only one from JQ I guess, and no it’s not always full, maybe it is now, but everytime I’m online it’s High. The “Low-Med-High-Full” thing depends on who’s online on that server, not how many people are on that server.
Except he isn’t from JQ either, he transferred here also. So obviously people are still transferring here to get carried.

Have the devs commented if they plan to do anything with crossfire?
in Ranger
Posted by: Swiftly.2385
Yes! They have stated very clearly what they plan to do with their silence.
I can only shake my head at this…
GW1 all over again in regards to the Ranger class.
Those of you thinking this was some sort of mistake by ANet, need to wake up. This was intentional. The lack of communication should tell you that.
Binafus.8153HOD is a ghost town, but I still can not be beat I moved to JQ today.
I will go down as one of the only players never beaten in GW2.
That pretty much says it all about the free server transfers.
Unlimited free server transfers have hurt Wv3 very much. The people that are original on JQ are starting to get really angry about everyone transferring over.
ANet doesn’t seem to realize or care the Wv3 could be really great in this game and make this game stand out even more, build communities, and bring even more people into the game. Instead it appears they are content with letting Wv3 be some sort of, I am not even sure I would call it a casual game experience with all the bugs, anonymity, and server transferring zergs. Actually it is just becoming more frustrating and boring.
At least on JQ we want close fights and great competition and the free server transfer have pretty much killed that for us even in this match against ET and HOD.
2.5 hours on JQ, up from 45 minutes the previous weekend.
LOL, ya think!??!
They(Anet) has now made Wv3 pretty much unplayable.
They won’t, Anet has already stated that there is very little transfers to Tier 1 servers. Unfortunately for ANet the Queue times tell a different tale., as the times have went up significantly this past weekend.
Yeah the Skill lag especially tonight, seems to be much worse.
Maybe you should try killing more people in Wv3 then. It happens a lot.
I would like a response from Anet on this. This situation is out of control.
Over 50% of people just log out when they even think they are going to lose.
I counted last night. 26 times. Yes, 26 times!! If you have to log out when being defeated, seriously stay out of Wv3!
Lots of people are simply logging out on downed stated now if their server has an instant Queue. It is happening alot, and I mean alot.
Is this something that can/should be reported?
Wait What? That would mean a certain servers would be very upset. They use player culling as a tactic in Wv3.
1000+ kill this week … 143 badges only discussssssss
My anecdotal data seems to indicate that I get more badges when I first come into RvR and it gets less and less as the night goes on.
Could just be bad luck (on drops for badges) but I make money faster than badges (events) in RvR and can craft gear a heck of a lot sooner than buying gear with badges.
yes money and karma does flows normal as we capture places and everything but the badges is just ridiculously low drop rate. the only thing that drop a lot is claws that worth 2 copper.
Yeah I am not sure if it is diminishing returns or if it is just a terrible drop rate. Just took my Ranger into Wv3. Note this is a different character than I normally run Wv3 with and at least 10 1v1’s that resulted in not a single BOH drop.
At this rate it is just better to go to each boderland and run jump puzzles for BOH…which personally I find lame that pve content gives a BOH.
Its a little frustrating to say the least.

@Durzilla, not sure why it will not let me quote you. My perspective comes from PvP only, you know where enemies don’t stand still. So in that regard from a Wv3 perspective, which pet will crit for 7.5k? Also which pet will not be dead 90% of the time in Wv3 before it reaches its target. That is considering you have your pet on passive in Wv3. You do manage your pet correct?
So take your kittens and your 10% movement boost and pve to your hearts content.
Also your last sentence, just proves you are talking out of your kitten.
I couldn’t agree more. I never understood people complaining about run times etc. The implementation of the maps overall design and size encourage zerging and leave no room for small roaming groups to engage without getting almost instantly zerged.
I honestly just want someone from ANET to tell me where or what I am supposed to do in this game to have fun and not feel like I am grinding for no reward at all.
Now let me be clear, Fighting other players in Wv3 is fun to a point, but the reality is with the anonymity in Wv3 and now the lack of any real personal reward Wv3 is going to get old and boring really fast.
I can’t make a name for myself and my bags are way to small to carry all to porous bones and claws that seem to drop even off of other players.
Not to mention the fact that the way maps are designed, and the fact that I have this GIGANTIC RED TEXT above players heads at all time to encourage nothing but zerg fests.
You can’t ambush anyone because they see you from a mile a way. I.E. I can’t hide behind a tree or rock or terrain or even in the character creation screen.
And sadly enough the only ambush is if of course you are part of a zerg and you run as fast as you can into the enemy zerg to ensure you haven’t loaded on their screen until they are in a downed state. Yes, don’t kid yourself it’s a tactic being employed by a lot of servers.
I can’t farm because OMG gold in the system!! I can’t run dungeons because OMG to many tokens! I can’t Wv3 because OMG to many BOH!!
So ANET tell me what am I supposed to do, set in LA and play the TP market? Some people enjoy that, I do not and I would venture to say 90% of the player base doesn’t.
“Is it Fun?”
NO
