Guild Wars 2

Dawdler.8521:

My solution would be this:

Introduce superiority based scoring and visibility system. Solve both zergs and off peak scoring in one blow!

Din wanna quote every bit of what you said but I agree to every bit of it. It brings about interesting changes to the way we see wvw. However just wondering if ever Anet wants to make any changes to the existing setup of wvw how much time will be needed to bring about such degree of changes and the work force.

I think that is one prime reason why Anet is reluctant to any changes in wvw in this regard. though a good solution that will be positively effecting wvw experience is I think welcoming for them as well. Most of it turns out to be like why mess up the currently accepted system by the players to a new one that may or may not work properly and turn of many of the player base off from the game.

Off peak hours? In a world-wide MMORPG, I like to think that doesn’t exist..

Yes agreed it must not exist, though when the game bifurcates servers regionally like NA and EU servers, each time zone has its own prime time and off time. Hence the discussion on this issue as no NA guild will ever join EU servers to cover the off time of EU servers as that is NA prime time and vice versa.

Yeah every solution has its own drawbacks with it. But I really want to see Anet to do something about it to bring servers to equal level in wvw irrespective of population size.

Hi everyone,
I do not know if this is even considered a problem with in low tiered servers or even something Anet considers to be an issue to be addressed but I felt I might have something to provide for as a solution.

What we are discussing here is servers that have problems manning people equal to other servers at off peak hours. One solution I can think of is nerfing the scores calculation during off peak hours based on the number of people online on a given map. I feel it will bring equilibrium between very high, high and medium sized servers in terms of match up and we will know what servers are actually very good at competence in wvw rather than a win for the biggest blob averagely over a day.
As for discussing solutions ofcourse every solution brings about its own problems but and for this one is that guilds who are playing in off peak hours will find it less of a contribution to wvw during there time of play.

I am not saying Anet should implement my solution but all I am asking for is an open discussion how other servers feel about this as a problem or not. If it is a problem you can write down your own solutions if you have any in this regard.

Haha bumping an old topic I know. But daym you all must now feel like some nabs lol. Anet actually provided the solution to the problem. you do get lodes and cores from champion loot bags and you actually earn more gold in dungeons than before.

Ohh how people complain all the time. I just read some one was arguing how he had to grind for stuff. really I ask you what are you doing then playing an MMO. again cheers to Anet.

My question has nothing to do with not being able to craft a back piece up until now.

The question is, “why is there no recipe for a celestial back piece?”

From your question cut the part “recipe for a”and then people will stop talking about crafting a back piece. Because when you say recipe for a back piece it makes it obvious you are talking about crafting one

Evon kills Zommoros!! And then Miyani provides every one with a Precursor of their choice!! Yeah after sinking 200g in there!! :-/

Traelia.8629:

I already see the masses of people talking like this “LF2M Zerk warriors and mes for xx dungeon path x, speed clear” This system will only alienate more classes that want to go into dungeons that do not fall within the standard speed clear model.

It is very impossible to make each class useful in dungeons. Most useful classes in dungeons are Mesmers, guards and warriors. Now this does not mean that the other classes are alienated. It all depends on the game design where a variety of activities are established which are better done by some classes than others. i was watching the pvp tournaments online and saw they never used warriors in the team compostion.

As long as each class is useful in the in game activities I dont see a broken game mechanic. Now if you want to do dungeons more and are very much interested in doing them then level something that is in demand for dungeon exploring. Not something you like and want to use. My main is a thief but I levelled a warr for dungeons now.

Yeah thieves still had the same role in a zerg 4 months back :-p

Peetee.9406:

As one of our commanders would say:

- Front line: hammer warriors, guardians
- Mid line: necros, support eles
- Back line: dps eles, mesmers

If you’re a thief, engy, or ranger go reroll a class that isnt useless.

yeah try and find any other class than a thief that can burst 4 shots of blast finishers in less than 5 seconds. People these days would say any kind of crap just because they hate something or did not find anything useful themsleves in a specific thing.

I run my thief front of the line with a bow providing Retaliation, healing, regen, chaos armour and condition removal to our guards and warrs. At times we the thieves make a difference when we blast finish and bring back a zerg that came a bit more close to failing with the blast finishers rapidness. there is no cool down on it just initiative limit.

I hope you understand the role of a thief in a zerg now.

Hi am a level 14 Norn and looking for a guild to be joined. I have been playing mostly PvE and personal stories. I would like to join an active guild so I could enjoy the game more.

Also please note that this is my first MMO game but I am well aware of the game mechanics and how everything works due to my past gaming experience. However, the guilds system is very new for me and that is the only mechanic of the game that I can not grab in terms of joining and all. who ever contacts me please let me know how to join their guilds as well.
