I’m fine with the match making… besides these q times xD

Im pretty sure the both go hand in hand, if you have kittenty matchmaking you get longer queues, last season queues were much better then this season. And they changed the matchmaking again this season.

You talk like this is some problem with matchmaking.

You basically pushed ahead of most people very early on in the season and then tried to queue at non-peak hours.

Matchmaking can only pair available players with other available players. It can’t make good opponents appear out of thin air, lol.

There are players, it just that their kittenty matchmaking takes forever. Match me up with the players that dont have a life then. I saw several sapphires and rubies in the lobby, sure they all didnt queue, but im sure some did.

Bring Back the Desert Borderland!

But if they let you choose the map, the DBL will be deserted… the minority likes them.

Honestly I doubt many people ever gave the map a chance. It was being bagged on when they did the beta for desert and the maps were empty because apparently only a small portion of the invites went out. And necro and a few other classes had crazy bugs show up during the beta and seeing how popular the well build was at the time the first time you used shroud making all utilities go away for the rest of the match was serious.

Ever since then desert has had a bad rep and that was before the masses got to it. They heard it was bad and they believed it. Not that the oasis bugs helped either.

Simply put unless you were playing desert in its final form those 10 days before rediculously tiny alpine returned people shouldn’t bash desert. Desert may not be ideal but I like it far more than the stumble upon tactics of alpine

Lol, nice stacking.

What do you mean by that? worth to note tho, my team were all soloq and they had 3 premade. We won by like 500-250.

It is not just nostalgia to a lot of people. A lot of us are happy to have a playable map back because Deserted BL was barely playable. Not great places for open field fighting, too many choke points, too much PvE nonsense, maps were too big making finding fights nearly impossible.

So many reasons, search around. It is so much more than just nostalgia, I hope they leave Alpine there forever.

Git gud, learn to adapt to changes.

I am enjoying my games thus far, they are challenging as they can be. About 20 games played was able to accrue 2 pip. This feel like a competitive ladder, and to those of you who want to progress faster, form a guild. I got farm by a guild twice in row. But so far, i am enjoying this!! It will take like a week to get to ruby. From ruby+ , it will be aids, only the best will survive.

as long as soloq gets matched against premades this league means nothing, “best” lol

I think the OP lost alot of people when they said change this to be more like EOTM, then asked if another poster even plays wvw.

The borderlands aren’t the same as EOTM and therfore shouldn’t have the same stuff. Now, if you were to suggest that this upgrade be added to SM, that might open a good debate, since SM is the only object that can be held by 1 server at a time and is the most hotly contested object on any wvw map.

“The borderlands aren’t the same as EOTM and therfore shouldn’t have the same stuff.”

Nice logic, that applies to everything else in the game to right? bye bye wvw reward tracks, beaquse you know.. pvp got those and we cant copy pvp.

“that might open a good debate, since SM is the only object that can be held by 1 server at a time and is the most hotly contested object on any wvw map.[/quote]”

Sorry but what, towers can be held by 2 teams?

“I think the OP lost alot of people when they said change this to be more like EOTM, then asked if another poster even plays wvw.”

You might wanna quote the post I said that beaquse I dont think I did. i said eotm got these cannons and they are fun to use and would work on the dbl to make the towers relevant.

while adding tactical value to towers would be nice i do not think that supercannons would be the way to go

What would you like for them to add? I doubt they will move them closer to the keeps or garri to give them more of an strategic location.

@Puck I love how your only seeing what you want to see and ignoring everything else>.<.

You keep saying gimmick while ignoring that said gimmick is already in ABL. The BL that everyone one was screaming to get back. In the form of trebs on NE and NW tower. This already exists. Comparing it to skyhammer is just your attempt to divert the topic by comparing it to something and invoking a negative emotion THROUGH that comparison. You can do better than that. If your gonna make a comparison lets stick to honest ones alright?

As for makiong it available at a certian tier. Their is a few things your either missing or choosing to ignore.

A: It probably can only hit garrison due to the layout of the map and the nature of the other keeps. Meaning it can only be used to assault garrison. Making it VERY hard to “abuse” because of the second part.

B: Keeping it locked till a certain tier does 2 things. One it prevents a high power server from just nabbing both towers nad force upgrading them. They will have to defend not only those towers but also the supply camps and the yaks running to them. This strecthes out the forces of the group attempting for upgrade them. This gives the defenders of garrison ALOT of targets they can hit in order to slow down/stop the upgrades entirely.

5 roamers could stop the process entirely.

The other thing it does is makes it so that a team that loses map control (say they got night capped and there BL was flipped entirely) has a starting point towards retaking garrison. They can hit the side towers and camps and start working on those cannons. If they guard the camps/towers/yaks then you will need more than the origianl 5 roamers to stop them. Meaning that the foreign group will have to send out troops which will leave garrison vulnerable. Making it easier to take by traditional means.

These towers would take a pretty big commitment by the owners to utilize effectively. If they succeed garrison is vulnerable. If they fail its because there were fights. Everyone wins.

Thank you for your input

They can add as many sky hammers and Dino bullkitten as you’d like as long as they never bring the map back to wvw. I’m sure pve players would love having some stupid gimmicky map added to the silver wastes area, or they can rotate it with eotm.
Just keep that stupidity out of WvW.

I’m pretty sure casual wvw players like you need to learn how to adapt to changes. These cannons would work as any other siege we currently have and make the towers relevant with their placement.

Work like any other siege……
except you don’t have to build them, so no supply management
will have much farther range than other siege so it can’t be countered the way trebs can in alpine

It sounds like another gimmick that will allow the dbl lovers to avoid fighting the same way the dino skyhammer was. Go back to eotm.

People are doing the exact same thing in ABL right now. You do have to build them if you bothered to read other peoples posts. Its a blueprint that becomes available when the tower reaches a certain tier. Like a cannon emplacement. It would still probably cost a tower full of supply so it would take TIME and resources to build that either a group of players would work together to make or an individual would take a long time to make.

Super Cannons would work exactly the same way that a treb inside the NE and NW towers of ABL do right now. And would work to draw people out of garrison the way they do right now.

Take the time to read what other people are righting before replying. Or you just end up making yourself sound like a hypocrite. As for trebs being able to be countered in alpine. Please. Unless you build shield gens you can’t get a treb up fast enough to stop trebs from another tower from killing you. And if both sides DO get shield gens up its just a case of “well guess we wait till the other one gets bored”.

So let me put it this way. Super Cannon on the towers would do more to draw people out into the field and start a fight. Instead of having two emplacements shoot at eachother. Or relying on invulnerable treb bug to take back the towers.

Again. None of your points hold up to scrutiny here.

Edit: Edited out annoying caps. My bad

Yeah I’m sure it will draw people out to fight the same way the the dino skyhammer gimmick did right?
Oh wait… it was just abused by the strongest server or completely ignored after a couple weeks when people were completely sick of that kitten map.

And only making it available at a certain tier!? Yeah, that won’t benefit the strongest server….

Or maybe they had to remove it beaquse the event itself caused massive lag for all parties on the map. All sides present on the map literally worked together to get it done asap.

I didn’t say you wouldnt need to build them? you need to build the supercannons in alpine at ruins if they still there. Someone suggested they would be a t2 upgrade. This would allow any wvw lovers to fight over this object, both defenders and people trying to capture it. People argued that the towers location is irrelevant strategic postion, yes, they do. With cannons they dont. What’s the problem?

I’d gladly go to eotm, I love the map and the rewards were nice before they nerfed it. But I prefer fights with level 80s and teamspeak.

TallBarr.2184

I’m saying waypoints in all 4 towers at T2. T3 still offers defensive advantages, but it’s straightforward to make a tower T2. The size of the map (a major complaint) becomes a lot smaller if you can bounce around it on waypoints. It also puts a lot of value into holding camps to make sure those towers hit T2 and a sense of urgency to flip them before they get that far.

Is T2 too soon? Do you remember how many supply deliveries that was? I see your point that it would create a serious threat to the back lands if an enemy was able to hold the north towers long enough.

T1 is 20, T2 is 40 (more), T3 is 80 (more). If it’s done at T2, that’s 60 total. The walls are barely not paper, so it’s not all that PvD-ish flipping them (another major complaint with DBL).

Sorry but what is the complaint, that the towers are not easy to cap? I thought people said dbl was karmatrain map. not /s

The suggestion isnt that outlandish.

In the alpine borderlands it’s possible to build trebs in the north towers in order to break down the outer of Garrison. The purpose of these towers is to put pressure on Garrison.
Basicly what the guy is asking for is for the northern towers in the desert borderland to serve an identical role.

Correct, beaquse that seems to be the main issue people have with dbl. People on the Alpine border place invurnerable trebs at spawn tho, to pressure the northern towers.

imo. you can add those canons. But tower needs to be at least t2 so a blob just cannot cap it. build the canon and then start firing at the garrison. and garrison itself needs to have a similar weapon to put pressure on th towers as well. Don’t forget that in Alpine border you could treb both ways.

In Alpine you fire with invulnerable trebs from the spawn.

Well first up. We’re in ABL now. Did you mean that? Or are you talking about the desert borderlands that won’t be back for a couple months? Two different towers/two different strategies.

Second: What Sich said. We just got rid of a pile of gimmicks. Gimmicks + WvW don’t tend to go well together. The simpler the better for WvW maps. Players are creative enough to curate content without gimmicks.

Third: Sich plays SOLELY defense. He may have an unhealthy relationship with Hills, but he knows home BL better than almost anyone else I know. I don’t think he 111 guard staff enough to even have Ultimate Dominator tag for his sig line. Cough.

dbl, one of the apparent issues people had with dbl was that the towers were useless. With supercannons they are not. People had issues with dbl being hard to navigate, they fixed that. People had issues with the meta-event, they removed that. Now that all the issues are resolved with the supercannon we can go back to dbl and not 2012.

You need objectives for interesting battles, pirateshipping eachother til the other one runs off is not interesting. Yes, the towers happen to not have a significant location but this supercannon gimmick would fix this. At this point I wouldnt be suprised if anet removed everything on the maps leaving nothing but wide open grass that you all could pirateship eachother one, beaquse that’s what you like. The same people who are kitten about dbl towers locations are kitten about the pvd, how does that even makes sense? why do 111 guards care about its location. Easier towers to cap translates in more enemies trying to cap it.

Are you kidding me? This would fix the problem, do you even play wvw? You say the towers are so useless, why do you even care that they are useless, this would fix this and yet you kitten about it. So everything that isnt 1111 guard staff is pve? People cry about how useless the towers are in dbl, now they have a cannon to pressure gates/walls, problem solved.

Add supercannons like the one eotm has near Overgrowth base to the the north desert borderland towers, This will add flavour to them and you can pressure the keep and garrison with it. This would stop the hurr durr north dbl towers so bad hurr durr. Even add them to south towers so the enemies can pressure the keep, not the garrison.

I had more fight on few days on ABL that on month on DBL…
People who come back to defend, fight over supply camp, fight to hold the tower to not allow your ennemy to treb you…

On DBL there where close to no fight around tower, they are useless… Just take it back later. Close to no fight on supply camp… Too far, the time you join the camp it’s already flip.
And the keep… Before the WP change no fight on keep because they are useless except PPT…. It’s cheaper to take back the stuff that to build tons of siege to defend it… And at least no need for scout..

Yeah, DBL was so fun for PvD all the day….

You probably didnt play wvw, or you just on some bad server with no fights, I am in t1 and there was fights all the time near the north towers. Maybe you played another game. Sure, there were “barely” no fights at the south ones but thats beaquse the distance is so long. The enemy teams also need an incentive to take objectives on the map to stay on the map. Again you probably play sims animal friends 3 or something, there was fights on the keeps all the time. You probably some pve hero who only play wvw 30 min after tequatlielr.

Alpine BLs might have there flaws here and there, but they are miles better than the deserted borderlands where you barely found enemies to fight except for an occasional karma training zerg. As a roamer the alpine borderlands are way more fun, because you get more frequent fights and camps are actually fought for and not just flipped back and forth. Most people who want DBL back are probably disappointed karma trainers who have to fight for their caps for the first time in a while.

Desert way better, more incentive for the enemy to cap stuff and for the defenders to defend, in Alpine u not even gonna bother trying to cap t3 hill or bay beaquse the defenders get there so quick and its so easy to defend. When theres no blob fight on alpine its a dead map. In desert map u could havoc and cap stuff with small groups but in Alpine you cant. Bad map is bad. #bringbacksand #makewvwgreatagain

I hear EotM is a great place to pvdoor with no resistance. In fact, I believe that is the primary play mode there.

Theres a higher chance of resistance in eotm than Alpine. Alpine is the biggest karmatrain fest ever. Desert border was the superior map for fighting. Structures that would open up for interesting fights. Now we got bay lol, 80% water gg, underwater combat so superior, disengage and swim away like a little dolphin or mermaid when you are losing a fight.

Also shout out to QQ. Trolling DB Hills and bag farming until their float team came to help 20 people kill 9 was hilarious.

You need objectives to fight over, and if there are no objectives to fight over theres no fights. Funnier to fight in a structure then on a open field where everyone pirate ship til the other team loses 5 people and retreats.

Quality of Life improvements did not win the vote, so we have no immediate plans to work on something like this. Also, while it might not seem like it, this problem is non-trivial to solve cleanly.

We didn’t need this feature added in the first place, just give us an option to turn it off or just turn it off. It came with HoT and you guys already have tweaked it once when guilds were abusing it by claiming several items on and off.

Tyler, if you get some time, go watch some of my past streams on twitch (in my signature) and look at how large that is with my screen resolution. It takes up so much of my viewing space for no reason and I have no option to move it or turn it off. I know I am not the only one with this issue, but it is really hurting my game play.

It’s not even blocking the view, and no, we are not gonna watch your stream pvd ing doors and ganking players. You and the other 4 that wanted alpine back got this problem.

The vast majority of people wanted alpine back. I believe Anet said an “overwhelming number” of players wanted it back. But keep believing it was just 4 or whatever other arbitrary number you want to come up with. Doesn’t make it true but go ahead and believe what you like.

And to keep things on track, yes the notifications do block the view and are annoying. Which again the vast majority of people seem to agree on. Maybe even an “overwhelming number” but even if not overwhelming certainly more than 4.

There are other things that needs to be adressed, not a small text on the to top of your screen. If its so annoying why dont you remove all the ui since it clutter your view so much. Theres a keybind for that you know.

We didn’t need this feature added in the first place, just give us an option to turn it off or just turn it off. It came with HoT and you guys already have tweaked it once when guilds were abusing it by claiming several items on and off.

Tyler, if you get some time, go watch some of my past streams on twitch (in my signature) and look at how large that is with my screen resolution. It takes up so much of my viewing space for no reason and I have no option to move it or turn it off. I know I am not the only one with this issue, but it is really hurting my game play.

It’s not even blocking the view, and no, we are not gonna watch your stream pvd ing doors and ganking players. You and the other 4 that wanted alpine back got this problem.

Less wvwxp/loot playing condi in wvw

in WvW

Condi overall still sucks in WVW beyond roaming and really small scale stuff. I think the only exception to this is chill based reaper.

I can confirm this for you as I was messing around with condi in big fights yesterday (sunday) all day long and experienced what you are experiencing. There are several fundimental but seperate issues playing condi from what I noticed, it is a combination of balance issues and bugs which leads to what you experience, I will try to list the stuff I saw yesterday here, in no particular order:

1. Outright bugged – many times you do quite a lot of damage to an opponent which gets killed, you do not get XP / WXP or loot or anything if all you do to the opponent is condi damage. You have to do a combination of condi and power based damage in order for the kill to count.

2. Bugged – “Taunt” condition causes all your opponents to turn momentarily neutral when you get taunted (everyone becomes like the yellow neutral mobs, like boars, deer, etc.) this may or may not be related to issue #1 as it may reset what or whom you may have landed damage or conditions on.

3. Too much AOE cleansing to the point where I think its bugged, again, I think the damage registered becomes somehow reset, perhaps the servers can’t keep up, and if your opponent dies before re-applying your own damage again you get nothing, no kill credit.

4. Extra bugged in laggy situations – Condi damage simply doesn’t register at all if the server lags a lot. At those times when skill lag hits everyone as a condi player you are at additional disadvantage because then it becomes extra lagged. Also, in laggy situations where combat is slowed down, issue #3 really comes to light, as there is additional time for the extra cleanses to go off completely and totally negating condi damage and thus of course not registering kills.

Overall playing condi vs power builds in large scale is fairly inadvisable, if I had to sum it up, it felt kinda like playing a power build but against opponents that would receive Aegis at least once every second, many times more then once per second.

The bugs definetly need to be fixed, but some of them can not be fixed until balance is addressed, in this case, less AOE cleanses. On a personal note I always felt there is too much AOE and passive cleansing and not enough personal, active cleansing in the game. Switching this up would solve or help with a lot of the other bugs and issues.

Thank you for your very detailed input, interesting read.

Can someone at Anet confirm this, I play condi DH in wvw and barely get any kills in wvw fights, when I do I net 20~ wvwxp with guild booster, 50% xp booster and the mist war bonus and barely any loot. I deal aoe burning ticks every 3 seconds / 2k burning damage for 5 targets yet the game dont seem to register my hits and give me loot wvwxp. I get more wvwxp/öloot playing the usual power guard.

I can’t speak for all on Mag, but my impression is that the stability buff was the #1 reason for many to return to wvw. ABL helped as well, but is probably #2 at best.

Stability buff helped, but it is most likely #2 reason for people returning. Even after stability got messed up, a lot of people still played, it was just the GvG scene that really died off. When they took away Alpine, that was when the population dip really happened.

While I am glad they changed stability, it doesn’t effect me or my guild much if at all since we’re a roaming group. We returned to WvW because Alpine was returned. I can’t speak for everyone either, but I think stability buff wasn’t nearly as important as Alpine returning.

Stability change is the 1# change along with reward tracks, server linking and so on, that brought life back in wvw again. the Alpine borders come in a 109# or something and has already killed wvw back in the days and will again. People will get tired of this depressive map and do irl stuff instead

WvWvW isn't duel zone

If you wanna duel go Obsidian, we dont need your kitten in eb, nor take queue spots. Duel all you want but dont cry when I kill ya bum.

I have plenty of packets of salt for when you msg me. You run me over with your zerg – I kill your tail. I don’t need your Kitten anywhere and your queue spot is not more important than mine. Zerg all you want but don’t cry when I focus you until you rage quit.

Then what’s the problem? I think you just answered the question.

Now remove this thread beaquse its resolved, we continue to interfere your 1 v 1s and you kill the blob tail, just like it should be.

Now I’m confused. If it’s “just like it should be” why did you state that we had OS and where just taking up queue spots?

Beaquse you are.
