Guild Wars 2

Its sad indeed, I love WvW and really its the only reason I still play GW2, I find it surprising that such a big game mode with so many players playing it is kept in the quiet like this.

/signed

I’ve been on Aurora Glade since headstart and will be AG for life! reward me!

The thing is if they had legendary finishers probably everyone would want to use them and then Arenanet would not be able to sell their finishers.

Make it every 500 ranks and I would agree with your suggestion.

OR why not have OS be a custom arena just like spvp, either you buy it for say 1000g or you earn it through art of war guild perks, you can then have your own version of OS and invite whoever you want, simples.

Adding my support to this idea, I want to change the gold colour on my incinerators to silver, make it happen, thanks in advance.

dubak.3042:

As for dailies, there is a cap, after obtaining 10000 aps from dailies you won’t get any more. Eventualy, all who play will reach that cap.

This ^

OP you will catch up in time, and quite franky do not deserve to catch up overnight.

Im still happy playing on borders, only thing I would change would be the ruins they added, that was a waste of time and space as far as I’m concerened, but anyway other than that I would just like to see a few things changed.

For one the way ranks are displayed only to the enemy is just backwards and should be fixed, then there should be a vendor to sell useful stuff for badges of honor, 20 slot bags for example, maybe even unique finishers.

Also there needs to be new masterys to spend rank points on, because once you are maxed out then rank points become useless, it all feels very unfinished.

Bottom line is I just want better rewards and goals for my time.

Agreed, really there should be something done to stop enemys rage whispering you while in wvw, or spamming you with party invites, it becomes very annoying. There should at least be an option to block all incoming whispers/invites from other servers.

Arenanet, please add Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Mithril and Diamond rank finishers to the game, I need some new bling in my wub wub, thanks.

Straegen.2938:

• New WvW mastery that allows players to extend the refresh siege times

This is what I was going to suggest, we need new masterys anyway, and this would be perfect, it should be expensive too, 300 rank points and then your placed siege lasts 2 or maybe 3 hours. Tbh its surprising they haven’t already added this, seems like a no brainer.

Same, I was hoping it would be available with this patch since we have access to the crown pavilion again, do want.

lol at your sig Safari, I’ve seen you in WvW at least

Lightsbane.9012:

that would be cool, however thief has no access to burning so i’m not sure where you’re coming from with that part of the post.

I use legendary daggers incinerators, everything I kill burns, that’s my access…

I have a thing about keeping my characters to certain themes, I really would like a flamed theme set of harvesting tools for my thief, that has duel incins, he is all about fire. I already have the molten pick which suits my theme but I need something to burn down trees and burn crops, please make it happen, I would buy them in an instant, thankyou.

EDIT : Seems they listened

illo.5106:

Hi,

it would be a real advantage if you have to double check it (like char deletion/special item destruction/so on) if you kick someone from guild – I did accidentally do that like 10 or 20 times when you wanted to join a guild mate on his layer and the “kick from guild” option was right beneath the join option.

Totally agree, I have a 1 man guild that I am the only member of and have a similar problem, if I was to press the [Stand Down] button my guild would be instantly disbanded and everything lost. I made this guild at headstart, I have max slot guild bank and many tier 5 guild perks. When I first made the guild I did press that button by mistake and then had to remake it, and ever since then I have feared the [Stand Down] button.
I saw the behind the scenes LS this week in which Kate Welch the UI designer was on the panel, so this is an appeal to Kate please fix this section of the UI, we need a confirmation tab on these buttons of doom. Thankyou.

Risen, I want an undead thief to add to my collection of thieves.

Nateeight.1498:

Now cluster bomb got nerfed into the ground which also screws over pve thieves.

Um what? cluster bomb has not been nerfed, they just updated the tooltip.

•Cluster Bomb: Added a skill fact for the maximum number of targets hit (5).

Please add me to the queue, Ive already posted screenshot a few posts up, thankyou.

Not received my tickets/chest.

Just add a sigil of bloodlust to one of your underwater weps and then you will not lose your stacks underwater, really its no big deal.

Well I’m glad to see I’m not the only one feeling the pain of this change, but sadly I think we have 0 change of having it reverted to the original animation. Im currently trying to retrain myself from using this skill, as it actually makes me moonwalk back towards my opponent. Whoever came up with this animation is obviously a backpeddelar and probably didn’t even know it could be used while running away from the opponent. That’s what happens when you have devs who play PP thief.

I would love you to do a portrait for me, most important aspects would be the hairstyle, the black eye, the shoulder blades on the one side and some kinda flame effects to emphasize having incirnerators, even though I realise you cannot fit them into the portrait, some flames somewhere would be nice. thankyou, I look forward to speaking to you and giving you my gold

I created this around launch time, and kinda forgot to actually post it here, so posting it now.

Just noticed this also, what happened did anet go all RP and decide that water washes off the blood or something? mind boggles.

[EDIT Update] Just bought a Sigil of Bloodlust for one of my underwater weps, now I do not lose the stacks. Maybe this is actually an intended change.

Since the patch and this new animation added to disabling shot I can now no longer kite as effectively as I used to be able to, to be clear, I used to run away from my opponent facing away from them , hit disabling shot, my char would spin around cripple them then spin back to running away, it was a nice way to kite which has now been ruined, at first I was like wtf im rubber banding it must be skill lag, but no, its this new animation, when you do what I described you end up just tweakin out and lookin like you are lagging or rubber banding. So annoyin anet always feels the need to change things that didn’t need changing and ruining them in the process. I understand its prob to separate the evade from the time your not evading but still, I’m not happy about this change, rant over.

Tachii.3506:

well with guard stacks the 200vit should give you more than 16hp even full glass, no?

Nope, full glass with guard stacks is around 13k at reset, and 14k something towards the end of the week.

Lamuness.3570:

I want a 15k backstab

Since the nerf to crit damage the biggest Ive hit was a 16k backstab on a level 80 ele, that was in a 1 v 1 with no outside buffs or debuffs.

Brendar.3548:

Essence of luck can be crafted to the higher tiers. Requires artificier 0.

This, L2craft.

Skeletor.9360:

For each death that you take and are outnumberd you should get a +1 might, vitality and toughness buff on respawn.

Die twice in a row outnumbered +2
Die 3 time then +3

Pretty soon that zerg idea becomes a bad one.

Buff goes away on border switch and has a 1 hour duration which is refreshed if you get another +1.

No just No, did you ever watch the movie Zulu? being outnumbered is part of war and In reality if you are badly outnumbered you should lose, if you don’t like being outnumbered move to another server. I am always outnumbered but guess what, I don’t want buffs to help me out, I enjoy the challenge of it as it is.

arcticface.5372:

I personally believe that the obsidian sanctum should be a non-pvp area. Majority of people go there to do the amazingly difficult jumping puzzle that i for 1 adore and try to do daily.

Ok lets think about this for a second, there is like what 30 PVE jumping puzzles you can go and do freely without worrying about being killed by a player, and there are 4 in PVP enviroments that have an element of danger attached to them. Now can you see what arenanet has done here? they threw in something different, this game is not all about PVE, some of us want to kill eachother, and I will kill anyone I see in a jumping puzzle and have fun doing that.

I love the buffs, I love the power creep, if you want to play without buffs goto SPVP.

unicorngirl.1487:

Hiya. I’m relatively new to the game, and so I wanted to learn how to WvW in a more forgiving atmosphere. A guild member pointed me towards Edge of the Mists.

To learn WvW goto WvW, you will find it offers what I think you are looking for, the ability to defend towers and keeps etc, even though gates tend to melt rather quickly these days its still basically the closest thing you are going to get to to a “this is my base and I will defend it!” playstyle. It also offers many other playestyles such as GvG skirmishing or solo/group roaming. There is something for everyone. Forget EOTM, just go straight to WvW, EOTM was never meant to be a training ground for WvW, WvW is its own training ground.

Oh and about upscales, they have always been a part of WvW, sure you may get trampled on from time to time, but then sometimes people may decide not to kill you because your an upscale, works both ways. I have a weakness for not killing female upscale asurans with pigtails, they are just to cute.

I play being outnumbered most of the time, and I do not want any kind of stat boost because of it, all that will happen is I will get even more enemy inviting me to group after I stomp them to tell me “you only won cos you got a stats boost”.
The current outnumbered buff is fine, I will take the extra wxp and magic find and be grateful for it.

ykyk.2740:

It looks great, but I believe Anet’s whole idea of not letting friendly ranks be displayed at all is to avoid elitism.

That is not the reason, look at PVE Dungeon Master title, look at PVP Legendary Champion Title, and WvW Ultimate Dominator. There are already plenty of titles you could say would cause elitism throughout the game, but its not an issue. The reason they haven’t added rank titles/icons is probably more down to they haven’t got around to it yet, because I believe they will at some point, since having only the enemy able to see your rank is just plain backwards and needs to be fixed.

The topic has been brought up a million times, that’s why no one is responding, I guess you are new to the forums so maybe just read some older threads and you will see for yourself.

grifflyman.8102:

Seriously, it’s been 1 and half years since release, and this “buff” is still an absolute joke.

The community has made numerous threads about it, and it could easily be something that helps balance WvW for lower populated servers.

With the recent removal of repair costs, the most beneficial bonus from the outmanned buff has been removed. Everything ells is pretty useless in terms of evening the playing field, and it’s been stated a hundred times by the community!!!

I believe the counter to making this a better buff has been, “We don’t want to encourage servers to purposely play with less numbers.”

That’s dolyak poo!

If a server has the organization to deliberately keep a map under 20 players so they receive a buff to gain a competitive advantage over superior numbers they probably deserve to win.

The buff is fine, extra wxp? yes please, thankyou, extra magicfind, yes please, thankyou. How many bonuses due you really expect from anet? these are the guys that give you emp shards for everything as a reward, which any real wvwer will have far more of than they can ever use. Point is be happy for what the buff gives as it is, its far from being bad.

After recently playing ESO and its more classic you die when you die system, I realised that the downed system in GW2 is actually much more fun. In ESO when someone died it was almost an anti climax… I was like oh that was a bit to easy, the downed system is kinda like a fight within a fight, an extra layer where you still need to pull off something special to make sure you send them to the graveyard. Personally I rather the downed state stays as I enjoy pulling off difficult stomps when their teammates are trying to res them.

If you both /bow then its a duel and should be honoured by staying and fighting to the death, but otherwise its just a 1 v 1 and there and no rules here, as a thief I will reset a fight until it works in my favour, and I really do not care how many times I need to reset it until I either win or decide to leave.

“Hello Devs” – Echo – Echo – Echo

Deli.1302:

You’d have to be stupid to think that megaservers for wvw wouldn’t create a horrible mess of clashing personalities, awful communication and population inequalities.

Agreed, the fastest way to kill GW2 right now would be adding megaservers to WvW.

I used to want the title when it was Ultimate Interceptor, but then they changed it to Yakslapper and I really do not like that title at all, currently at 16k yaks and even if they gave me the title tomorrow I wouldn’t use it.

Took me 6 hours to complete the meta, It was stupidly easy, even easier than season 1, and that was to easy.

Stuck at 29/40 and 72%, Im playing on normal hotjoin servers like server 046 etc and the track just will not progress.

Please fix or advise if it is somehow an issue my end.

These rank Icons need to be added, the rank system is half baked atm.

There is at least 2 ways to solve this problem,

Either Arenanet change the way players are added to the different teams, Red, Green, Blue by adding them randomly and equally like its done in spvp, so that each team will always have the same numbers, or 1 less OR

Arenanet could just fix the OP buffs that Overgrowth (GreenTeam) has, firstly they have a crazy regen buff that makes them much harder to kill, then they have a keep boss that is just annoying to kill and usually always takes a few minutes compared to the other 2 teams bosses that literally take seconds, and then there is also the observatory which takes longer to cap than other special objectives.

I would love to see the stats on team wins because mostly all I ever see is green team wins, and that IMHO is the reason for so many matches becoming outnumbered. Its got so bad now that Im sure a lot of people enter EOTM, realise they are not on green team, then think to themselves “F this” and leave.

TLDR : Green team is faceroll ftw, and is causing the uneven teams.

Its amazing to me that this has not been added, the logic behind only the enemy seeing our rank just baffles me and in all honesty I have to question the ability of the developers in charge of wvw.
There is so much talk about rewards lately and yet they seem to have overlooked that titles are great reward for effort, they can keep their ascended mats, I currently have nearly 40k emp shards, what I want is a title/rank icon for my efforts.

I can certainly understand where the OP is coming from, the game really lacks goals to work toward, and even where there is things to work toward then there is no reward for doing so. An example of this would be WvW ranking system, it is a form of progression and something to work at, but in the end what do you get from it? nothing really, you can be super high rank and no one on your server will even know, its totally backwards.

Then there is the fact that no new armor sets or weapons have been added to the game outside of the cash shop, this game has become way to cash shop driven, and Ive noticed since the number of people playing drops the more they push the cash shop to make up for lost income, well thats my theory anyway.

All in all, I find GW2 to be kinda like a lobby based MMO, I laugh everytime I hear people talk about its open world, this is not my idea of open world at all, waypoints and loading screen? it completely kills the feeling of being a world, as I said feels like a lobby based game.
Im very close to leaving also, to many things just dont sit right with me.

Totally agree, its mindblowing really that the TP has remained in this basic form for so long, seems to me they put to much time into making new gem store items so they can make money rather than actually making the game better.

Ragnar.4257:

Does this mean that the Ruins and Bloodlust are a waste of real estate? Could they be put to a better use? Or is my experience of it, in EU T2-T4 not reflected in other tiers/regions?

I think is is a waste of space yes, I would even rather see the krait come back than have these ruins. The whole middle section now just feels completely different from the rest of the border in the sense that you almost feel you are in spvp rather than wvw, this creates an immersion break for me, and makes the border feel like its wearing odd socks.

Hidden Achievement, just like the EOTM buckets, somewhere out there is an achievement that will count for the daily! you heard it here first.
