Guild Wars 2

Why is everyone trying to balance a thife in 1v1? It should be able to slaughter most people 1v1 that what it is designed to do. It has little else to offer in wvw

What’s a title?

I would just like to point something out to some of the pve players out there about wvw. If u don’t know what you are doing then ask. If u don’t know about upgrades in fort and camps then don’t touch. If there are 20+ people from different guild following a commander then he/she probably know what they are doing so if the ask you not to do something then listen to them. Yes I know you are allowed to play the game they way you want but often it causes other people to not have fun because now they have to dealwith something you may have messed up. Imagine if every time you wanted to do a dungeon or fractal that you could only pick 1 or 2 other people to go with u and the rest had to be random. Now imagine that these 2 people in Ur group didn’t know what they were doing and just keep screwing things up. You would just kick them and find 2 more people, but what if u weren’t allowed to kick them and you just had to deal with them? That how it is in wvw some times. So next time someone says not to take supplies from somewhere or they say don’t attack the door how about listening?

I’m not a pvp player I’m a wvw player and yes there is a differences. I play to win weather it breaking a zerg, capping a camp, kill/escorting yaks it doesnt matter that what I do. I don’t like anyone that hinders the ability of my sever to win

I amost exclusively play WvW and I’m leveling a guardian now in WvW. And I love it and get plenty of drops without even trying.
They have increased the drops in WvW awhile ago so depending on when you last played, it may be much better.

Also as to your response to Calvin, I’m not sure what you mean. WvW is about fighting other people not NPC’s so its much more interesting in its own right imo. There are no roses to smell in WvW – all blood and guts strewn across the battlefield.

Wvw is about winning but most people don’t car. Have have to fight both people and npcs alike

I agree its a pain to lug around 4 sets of armor because there is no bank

Sinaya.4201:

If it wasn’t meant to be for alleged “carebears” then it shouldn’t incorporate PvE elements. I don’t think it’s the intention of ArenaNet to make parts of the game inaccessible for certain styles of game play yet force players to complete them if they want to achieve something in another part of the game. (Well, maybe Fractals, but they’ve since broadened access to Ascended Trinkets)

Not everyone wants to play in WvW, but not wanting to play there shouldn’t limit one’s access to Map Completion.

SvenskiNavi, not everyone cares about Legendaries, contrary to popular belief. Some players just want map completion for map completion’s sake. They’re the same players that try to unlock 100% on Super Mario World or whatever. If the argument is that someone should have to participate in WvW in order to earn a Legendary, there’s already the 500 Badge of Honor requirement. Map Completion should either be separate or easier, whether by changing the color rotation or removing the WvW map points of interest / vistas as necessary for completion.

Valik Shin, there’s WvW / PvP players who have complaints about the current system apart from the map completion issue, myself included. I don’t appreciate your tone.

I don’t really care if u like my tone or not. I don’t like having to wait in a que to get into a map that has a bunch of people in it who don’t care about winning. As for the color changes they are that way for a reason. SM is balanced to give red an edge. If u give a server that is already clearly better than the other 2 it will create a massive imbalance in wvw. I’ll take red spawn anytime over the other 2

You don’t like too bad. This is wvw its a form of pvp not some place for all the carebear pve players to hang out

I really don’t blame people for running into a tower. Not really any reward to fight in the open when u have a sieged up tower near by

If u are still in thr same tier then u probably have a stronger presence when Ur not on and that can’t be accounted very esaily. Some servers are very strong for part of the day and week the rest of the time. Others are decent all day long. Some servers have really strong weekend crews or weekday crew. Some people might play 1 day one week then 5 the next. There is just no way to match up servers by population. Even if there was you would get ome severs that are very random against a server full of guild groups. Weather they have same population or not the guild groups will beat the crap out of random 8 out of 10 times

Add a spectator mode to it to. Watched RG and DAWN go at for a while was actually kinda fun to watch

It’s not gonna matter what anet does or say. Wvw will always de dominated by organized guild groups. Doesn’t matter if anet wants wvw to he “casual” a group of randoms isn’t gonna beat a good guild group on a regular basis. My point being that all the complaining does ne good cause they will still find a way to win

U may want to look into a euro server

If Ur running in an organized force then anything can be useful. Just depends what is needed

I like the scouting reward but it will get abused heavily same with the repair

Anymore I’m just waiting for the next game I have no hope for anet to give the more hardcore wvw players anything to really hold them

I have seen pugs set up 20 golems in 30mins

I’m na and play euro server and while I wish I could be home for rest I think this is the best way to do it. So if u live in euro and play na then u can just deal

eternal gets so bad if ur even on the map when a big fight is going on u’ll get skill lag

I can see that some people here don’t understand that the wvw map were designed for siege to be used. SM should be able to treb the towers around it that’s y it’s so important to hold and attack. If anything trebs need a buff. People put a great deal of time and effort into finding good treb spots y should they be punished for trying to figure out a simpler way to attack or deffend. Well placed trebs are also by far the most effective way to deal with golem rushes

We Always [TROL]. 20 snowmen attacked us

30 man limit isn’t always enough. There are guilds that can fill it up and then some by themselves. If u don’t get in the squad the second the tag comes on Ur out of luck even when you are just trying to run as a guild

A lot being able to beat a thief is having a solo/small group build. I have a spec that can own most any thief. Has ton of cc. In anoth spec I can kill most of them if they don’t run as I don’t have the needed cc to stop them

Most every class is versatile of you know what Ur doing. Since ele and thief have been explained I’m gonna say warriors are pretty much the true jack of all trades. Only thing a warrior lacks is Aoe. They have high survivability high burst or sustanined damage, unmatched cc, great long distant mobility and good support abilities.

Any RS/Gandara guilds interested in some GvG between 7-10pm (gmt+1) tomorrow (Friday), right before server resets? We are a small guild running between 8-12 people and as a guild, are new to WvW. So we are looking for some practice runs and fights to get used to moving as a guild group. I’d appreciate it if you’re willing to spar a bit with a rather noob-ish guild PM in the forums or in game.

Thanks in advance. And great fights today in Gandara BL.

Most weeks you would probably have no problem finding someone but with these scores so close people are gonna fight tooth and nail to win

AoN on magumma was pretty good don’t know if they still are, been a while since I fought them

All this my guild is better than and your guild did this makes me laugh. The objecto scorescore the most points as a server. Who care who has the best fuikguild.

Cradorell.3941:

sorry i reckon aurora glade will win their matchup

Riverside is leading right now… But it really can be any of the two.

I wouldn’t count out gundara either

My suggestion for wvw is to try and hook up with a guild group. Most guilds will have at least some nights when the allow anyone on the server to join their VoIP or they will run on the server VoIP. If you wanna run in a small group then log onto Ur server VoIP and find a few people to run with. As long as u play near peak time it should be very esay to find 3-6 people to run with

PatrickMera.4635:

Just a heads up, in case you turned down your WvW settings as a workaround for this: the fix for the crash went in this morning, and we haven’t seen any occurrences since.

Thanks for heads up. I wondered what that patch was for

Bethryn.4087:

Dear AG,

Is there something we should know about Dawn’s Eyrie? An oil plot, a gold vein, the real Mona Lisa maybe?

Yours,
Gandara

It’s the view. It’s beautiful. The best part of which is the western view

Adding lurals to wvw would be a double edged sword. Wvw players would be getting something worth having but the more pve carebears would be running around wvw taking spots from serious players.

Maguuma[Everyone]

Don’t lie we know u guys don’t have any comanders. Lol jk

The biggest problem when running with out a guild is is a lack of organization. When I was on yaks bend server I would often have 30-40 pugs following me on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. But portal bombs and ball tactics didn’t work well because of a lack of communication. The guild groups are all on VoIP together which allows then to react instantly

AG isn’t commander starved it just that people follow the commanders they like and no one else tags up

GrandmaFunk.3052:

Overtime/on-call on Saturday afternoon costs the same as overtime/on-call on Friday evening.

Possibly true (I don’t know the laws and such in the US, it is not the case here however)

You do however assume that they work on Saturdays in the first place, which is somewhat unlikely. Which would mean that they would need to pay for an extra (and, at least in Sweden, more expensive) day just to have people there at the reset.

Only have to pay extra in USA if the person worked more than 40hrs in a week. Doesn’t matter what days it is

Having played on both na and euro servers I think they should have moved it forward instead of back. Many na servers don’t hit peak in wvw until 6-7am GMT. Many euro servers have decent numbers by 8-9 am GMT. So y not have reset at 7 or 8 am GMT?

They don’t release cause they hate us

The biggest thing to remember is if u are following a commander then listen to what they say and do it. If you don’t wanna do what they are saying then either don’t follow said commander or don’t complain if u die or get left behind. Also get on VoIP. It not expensive to buy a pair of headphones. You don’t have to n able to talk just b able to listen. It also doesn’t take much CPU power or internet speed to have the game and a VoIP running. I use to do its on a 1.5 m connection with no problem

I bet some hits rank 150 by June

SvenskNavi.9378:

WvW is casual. You don’t have to go in and stay there for hours and hours on end. For all anyone cares, you can go in, jump into a battle for 10 minutes, and leave. Sounds pretty casual to me.

You don’t have to spend hrs in wvw either. Only time I spend in pve is when I’m to tierd to use brain power needed for wvw

An urban map would pull the heavy zerg v zerg players off the other maps and they could fight eaxh other while the people that like to play pvd and roaming would b more free to do so. It’s a win win

If servers weren’t split na and euro it would help with balance play from a time stand point

Preacher.9018:

Add “Urban Warfare” map – with 3 side fighting inside huge City.

Yes yes and yes

There r not op classes in wvw. There may be op solo builds but that really doesn’t help the wvw effort much.

I don’t get y latency is an issues for people. I play on euro server despite being in the USA. And I know aussies that have no latency issues despite not having any ocieanic placed servers

Just to add something here but I did some figuring and found that the number of people that play wvw at least 2 hrs a day for one or more days a week is probably more like 5-7% of the population. The daily players are still 2% of the population or so.

Just some numbers to wrap Ur head around here. There are 51 server. If only 500 people from each server played wvw that is 25500 people. As I sure most of you would agree the number of wvw per server is probably more like 700-1000 per day

Almostfaceman.1804:

A thief just solo’d a champion and his crew at a tower. That, my friends, is broken. No class and no one person should be able to take that down, it should be designed to take a team of folks to do it.

Necros and warriors can solo them too. I have also heard that guardians can as well

Its called WORLD completion which implies the entire world of GW2. Also this is a legendary feat which implies it should be difficult and challenging.

If this was the case it should include all dungeons and all sPvP maps. Of course it doesnt. if you are stuck in an undermanned WvW server you will likely wait months now for a chance at map completion, and personally I think that is wrong

Well I think it wrong that pve players get all the good skins and loot drops and leech off from the world bonuses we give you by doing well in wvw. So you can just deal

Those world bonuses are the most insignificant thing ever. I never even notice them.

I don’t notice them much either but I know people they play a lot of pve and know about them say they make a difference
