Guild Wars 2

On the plus side Maguuma is looking for guilds. #MAGT2PUSH2016.
Msg Lord Commander Xushin for details and a free can of Spray On Hair for baldness.

(Infraction incoming… understood. I’ll just let myself out…)

Yes Yes Yes…
For all that is Holy please change Reset back to Friday!

Thank you.

One has to wonder if the recent Leadership shake up at A-Net may have put the WvW progress on hold…

But… but… War is NOT fair, never has been.

Server imbalance is your choice, you can transfer to a comfy tier any time you like. Nightcapping with no resistance, a strong EU presence to counter, NA wild times etc etc are just part of the game.

In my humble experience the ride up for a server has always been way more fun than the “balanced” tiers where everything just sits into meta after meta after meta.

I don’t think there should ever be any attention given to “balancing” the servers. Take DB for example, those guys have risen, been beaten down and risen again so many times you could name a Batman movie after them. Do you think they aren’t enjoying their current rise now as compared to being endlessly locked with two other “equal” servers?

Look at how YB destroyed the entire old game meta to take a well earned place at the top. They did it through pure force of will and a strong server community. Love them or hate them, they rolled over you to get where they are.

The very volatility of this game mode is one of the best things about it.

IMHO.

LOL Megasever WvW.

Hahahaha that’s rich…

Bahahahahahahahahahahha…. sorry… just gimmie a sec…..BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Can’t continue post, need water….

Ok OK… I can do this.

Megaserver in WvW will not hap…………BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

he he.

I give up, going to watch cat videos.

Coverage is a server issue and not A-Nets problem. Get some guilds or be content where you are.

Can we all just agree on one thing, PPK is given to appease fights groups only but has little to no value in the overall score as a havoc group can easily counter any PPK by taking unguarded objectives on the Desert BL’s. It’s a band aid.

I would love reset to be switched back to Friday. Perfect night, end of the work week, hang out, drink some beers and fight.

Gawd I miss that.

LOL! Well played OP.

If anyone knows anything about CTH, you are posting on this thread and they are ninjaing your garrison

<3 Shadows Creed

LOL zero problem there. A broken pony is an obedient one.

“95% of www population play for fun /bags /karma.”

I like to make up statistics as well!

For the record CCCP is NOT about hardcore PPT. WE have always been about locking a server down and making Fites Guildz have to come and deal with us. The score controls the tier and we maintain it but, at the end of the day, it’s just about controlling the enemies guilds. If you don’t come and deal with us, you lose all your stuff, if/when you do, expect a bad Raid Time experience. It’s Havoc and manipulation and we love it.

Keeps shouldn’t be easy takes period. There has to be some risk involved not just an easy cap, otherwise they may as well just be camps.

Trust me, my guild has suffered more than you know in taking these keeps, from Keep Lord bugs to tactivator Hell but I still think taking a keep should not be easy.

Lets be honest, WvW is far from dead. It is dead in the sense of the people who first played it and have now moved on, it is dead in the sense of a natural ebb and flow of an MMO, but the game mode is still strong and healthy. The Desert BL’s are starting to get some action now that people are starting to learn them and the fights are quite good. IMO the ability to build waypoints like the old maps would go a long way into improving this.

Just continually shouting “WvW ded gaem” doesn’t change the fact that many people still play and enjoy it. The fight-centric meta is gone (for now) and WvW has become, what it was always intended to be, a game of chess that anyone can join.

Sure the long time players stack EBG because its is safe and familiar and they get the fights they want but the score is not affected by that. The score has always been the providence of the Borderlands. Like it or not, you have to adapt or be left behind.

Just my own opinion.

Um..
OP I understand your frustration. My guild has always done what you do, but have grown to a point where sneaky tactics are almost impossible. We mitigate the problem by running smaller groups within our large that can “Voltron” if needed. The new BL’s are really not that scary once you get to know them, and being a guild that understands them makes you a very powerful force in the current (yawn) EBG fites meta.

I suggest Divide and Conquer. Take some time to find all the sneaky spots, and, trust me, there are many that haven’t even been used yet. Hit multiple objectives at the same time but be ready to leave if it’s something too big. Bear in mind there is usually only one group and a few neckbeards facing you. Be ready to run and ditch a blob, and you will be able to because they don’t know the new BL’s.

Keep coming back because, at the end of the day, the group that came to deal with you just wants to get back to EBG asap.

Most organized raid groups have a set amount of time and days they play.

You win either way because they leave or you made them play “Running Simulator” for their entire Raid Time.

Happy Hunting.

P.S. Everybody hates my guild

gah…
Wall of text hurts my eyes,

Why is this Anets problem?
Either transfer or buy some guilds.

So much Conspiracy Theory here…

/popcorn

But… but… how do you kill that which has no life?

Sad to see there are those that actually play like this anymore.

Hehehehehehehehehe
The DB salt is amazing on fries.

People will move on because of what they see in the update. Anet’s vision is clearly completely different from WvW players’. There’s no chance they deliver.
[/quote]

That may be the case. But if a new group takes up the mantle, and the Old Guard dies, what does it matter?

Hmmm…

1. Autoloot because hitting “f” is hard.
2. reduce the vertical landscape in the new BL’s.
3. Fix the keep/tower lord scaling crap.
4. Bring back the old waypoint meta. You cap a keep and hold it long enough, you gets a waypoint kitten.
5. Get rid of all tactivators. An unnecessary hoop to jump through on top of all the existing ones, ie. siege disablers . Plus they are expensive as balls for a game mode that has little rewards.

PS please give the GvG whiners somewhere to play so we can all just be done with them.

Agreed, this is not a welcome change

:(…

Nooooo

Is the rest of DC following you?

Well… I’m sure you’ll be fine wherever your hissy fit takes you:)

Much love Bannok, you will be missed

All this geek talk is making me hot!

So far this thread has hit the nail on the head for me. Removal of a lot of the “fluff” would probably populate the BL’s again.

100% agreed here
+1 OP.

I just have to wonder exactly how many times the lot of you can post the same stuff over and over again on every single thread on this forum. No matter what the thread is the same people show up spouting the same rhetoric again and again.

Fun Fact. This is called “Having an Agenda” and is well recognized by any forum moderators anywhere. This means that anything you say gets dumped in the same recycle bin.

Anything ever written on these forums has been noted, logged and filed. Continually saying it over and over again combined with passive aggressive threats is just lost time.

Can’t we all just be constructive?

And please don’t give the response “We have been saying this stuff for years and A-Net is not listening”. That is conspiracy stuff. No business doesn’t listen, in fact they probably listen much more than you think. Many people play this game mode we love, in many different ways and when they make decisions it is (more than likely) based on the whole metric not any specific one.

Really?

I just… wow

PPK is a barely added score metric designed to make player kills seem like they matter. All the kills on one night in EBG can easily be made up for in 2 hours of backcapping in OCX.

OMG you silly boy. Maguuma was kicking babies for an entire week and racked up 12k kills. The PPK is just smoke and mirrors made up to make fites guilds feel like they are important. 12k PPT can be made up in a few hours. Settle down, it’s really not that big of a deal.

Wow…. just Wow.

I don’t even..

+1 OP, 100% supported.

I am the GL of a rather large guild that focuses primarily on WvW and we are trying our hardest to adapt to the new systems that came with HoT but the bottom line is they just feel like gimmicky money sinks and cheese tactics that take everything away from the game-play that brought us all together in the first place.

I had a bit of an epiphany the other night when thinking about all the new gimmicks, banners, airships, tactivators etc. And it occurred to me that these are not game changers for those of who WvW regularly.

Bear with me please.

We who play the game will simply overcome them like we do every dumb thing that gets thrown at us like siege disablers, stealth removal traps etc.

Banners just mean the rise of dedicated “Pick” squads again, airships just mean send a group in to fear them into activating it, Chilling Fog is hardly an annoyance. The list goes on, but, as always, we will figure it out and negate it.

What occurred to me is the barrier to entry for new players. The more garbage gimmicks that are thrown at us, the more a new player has to learn in order to play. I feel that it may reach a level where new players will just not bother.

WvW has always been pretty exclusive, I mean nobody is going to do a full guide on how to spec your toon, then find a commander, know what to do about a Turtle banner etc etc

Just my opinion.

Thank you A-Net for showing us that you are listening! I am in favor of all these changes however I do feel upgrades still should have a “human” element of some kind.

/Sigh. Poor Kovu.

I still believe in you:)

Simply…

If A-Net ignores it long enough and papers the gem store with kittenty skins it will go away.

Golems got nerfed to kitten.

A-Net wants you using trebs you can’t build without +5 supply that are all easy to counter because it makes for epic screenshots.

#Esports…
biggest joke on TWITCH.

Spend that money on fixing your game.

I would hold off for a bit before buying HoT until the “Major WvW Overhaul” hits. If it’s kitten then don’t bother. I’m sure these forums or Reddit will tell you all you need to know:)

The new maps are fine for the most part. They just need to remove the vertical elements and kill the pve GIMMICKS THAT NOBODY EVER ASKED FOR OR WANTED.

Other than that, they are fine:)

Lord Xushin has spoken….

(DB are all scrubs)

:) I joke….

I would not play near as much, only really as something to rally the guild.

I think “Factions” might just be the most idiotic idea anyone has come up with EVER. Without “Server Pride” there is absolutely nothing to fight for other than a kittenty chest at the end of the week full of blues and greens.

Those that are speculating that the “fites” will be better are kidding yourselves. It will be blobs upon blobs and any respectable “Fight Guild” will use their guild hall. All you will get is EOTM 2.0 without near the rewards.

From a business perspective, it is the best move A-Net can make. They will have full maps and can say it’s a viable game mode. From those of us who have made this game mode viable for the last three years, well… we are getting sent to the glue factory.

So I made a Necro because I wanted to try Reaper in WvW, I was using the chests pre-nerf to get to full. Nerf hit and I was at a standstill.

Then I used my “teleport to friend” crap that I’ve gotten from kittenty Black Lion chests to just teleport to a guildie sitting on “Hero Challenges” and got it anyway. Stoopid “busy work” just to get to PLAY THE WAY I WANT TO PLAY!!!!!

IF YOU’RE READING THIS ARENA NET, I WANT TO PLAY THE WAY I WANT TO PLAY.

gah, sorry for the rage:)

The Proofs of Heroics that were a currency that now are no longer one is an issue for me.

Dear beloved Arena Net… I AM PLAYING YOUR kittenING GAME!!!!

What does it matter if I am driving on my MAIN toon in order to bump another class I may or may not want to play???

You can do this in SPVP why not anywhere else?

Seriously though, do I really have to go through PVE areas that I have tried and I just don’t enjoy to get to par, or even worse. Do I have to try and compete in the only gamemode of yours I really enjoy (wvw) at a subpar level to finally got to something that may or may not be something I like???

I think the latest rumour of change that the majority vocally doesn’t want was the final straw sadly.

Speaking of the “majority’s” opinion about unconfirmed rumours… GG

Get in a servers TS then talk.

T3 is very active now DB has joined the party.

I’ve bought a metric ton of gems but most in my (almost exclusive WvW guild) rarely do. Citing yourself as an example is silly. Again, this is an argument I’ve seen bandied about many times. I was just offering a very easy solution.

Well, it’s an argument I see tossed around a lot. Didn’t mean to ruffle your Jimmies, just posting a thought I had.
