Arius.7031:

You realize:

1) This has happened millions of times across every server for literally years
2) You guys did the EXACT SAME THING LITERALLY YESTERDAY
3) Nobody cares

I care, and every other player who wants to use legitimate tactics for attacking an enemy but now cannot because of the new bs locations used by cheaters who place spawn siege way out of reach on cliffs in citadel that can hit the north towers, cares.

I thought it was ridiculous before but now some of the places Ive seen are beyond pathetic and clear cheating and needs action by anet, there is a spot where a treb can be placed so far back to cover nwt where you cannot even see the treb, only the projectile coming over the cliff.

Now anytime someone wants to attack a north tower, or enemy garrison from the tower they have to contend with some cheater sitting in an out of reach invulnerable spot firing away.

GG you pathetic cheaters regardless of server.

-Get rid of the wildlife, or turn them nonhostile, gets annoying having enemies rallying off of them, or having them putting you in combat. Get rid of the mosquito event in EB, why on earth is that there.

-Reward tracks to give wvw specific rewards like siege, reg/asc mats, etc to lessen the need to do pve

-Not a wvw issue but make karma gear salvageable for upgrades to, wanted to throw this out there

-Bring stealth into line, enough perma stealth bs, its a competitive gamemode, having people go invisible forever is terrible balancing.

-Less pve and gimmicky crap

-Tone down siege damage, since they are getting damage buff with reworked wxp ranks.

-Eliminate spawn sieging ability

more stuff….

Lol thanks Ven, I wouldnt go that far though :p

We tried our best to avoid doing anything morale breaking to encourage you guys to come out and fight, and we are glad to have seen you folks all week.

Glicko Rng is what it is, should we get this matchup again we hope to see a great turnout from all sides again

Lawl thats pretty funny, we were on EB at the same time, and our guys were screaming at everyone not to attack you guys, dont worry our group didnt lol. Hope you guys had fun

I would like to say thank you to FA and SoS for the many great fights they have given us this week, considering the tough situation they have been in for a long time now (Ive been there I know its rough). Many of us have consistently commented on the nice fights you have given us, and we were happy to see you had people actually show up this week to put up fights, defend etc. Good luck to both your servers and hope to see you both rebuild

-Hugs from BG

Welcome to all our new members!

Come join us for reset tonight.

Spawn camping is a low and pathetic thing to do. But I dont know about extending a no siege range beyond spawn, I doubt it can prevent it, the enemy would just build it a little further away, and this could hurt the defending group trying to fight back or take something back. The legendary defenders are there to basically stop people from getting into the spawn site, but a recent update teleports players away automatically now if they attempt to get inside even if stealthed.

Do you like to have fun? Do you like to be silly and laugh a lot? Do you like to wipe zergs in wvw and be a pain in the kitten for the enemy? Do you hate constant questions?

Then come join our family and be a part of our great community.

I have been having a similar issue for a while now with sudden fps drop/lag/stuttering and having the game freeze at random times. I have noticed this most often happens from being on a map for to long mostly inactive with LA causing the most issues, EB in wvw also causing bad lag/fps drops while active. But I also noticed that running/closing an internet browser like AoL during gameplay seems to trigger it more often. I also have a nvidia card, idk if its related or if this is similar to yours but I really wish they could fix this.

Emarixa.7241:

What day do you do Guild Events?
If Sunday, I’d be interested in joining.

Hello Emarixa, we do the guild missions that are unlocked on wed nights after our guild meetings. EoTM and PvP is done on demand, and SW runs are done on Wed which is more of a pve night. We are mainly WvW focused, and pretty much raid every night and are more then happy to teach those willing to learn. I passed your name to one of our guild leaders so they can contact you in game, please feel free to contact one of them if you would like as well.

good, nerf the molechev kittentails too plz

From what I read on dulfy, it just seems like demo/trial stuff to try the game, with tons of limitations that should prevent any wvw griefing or gold spamming. They have done this periodically with free trial weekends, I guess they want to offer this all the time now if this is true. This is normal with many games isnt it? WoW offers trials doesnt it, thats how I learned I hated it after trying it for 5mins. But yea I dont see much of an issue here tbh with all the limitations listed it shouldnt be a problem.

The change I mentioned previously is multi-part. The change that makes all arrow carts use line-of-sight did indeed go out today, but the second part about the arrow cart line-of-sight checks being too forgiving was not part of today’s build. The changes to the way arrow cart line-of-sight is calculated is set for an upcoming patch.

Thanks for the update and help, many of us appreciate the effort.

Id like to ask about the other part of todays update, regarding killing players in spaces they are not allowed to be, does that include spawn sites because that would be doubly great.

And cant wait to get the rest of the ac update, please dont take to long

I thought citadel, but spawn would be good as well. Even better would be under the map…….

I asked about spawn site, because I assume citadel is considered spawn site. Considering the other changes in the update like making vendor npcs noncombative so they cant be killed by people using exploits/stealth to get into the citadel, and now people cant sneak into spawn/citadel areas to troll/break siege etc. So this is a nice fix to both, hopefully it prevents flying/underground exploits as well

Rather than being killed, players should always get teleported out of hostile spawn areas now.

Thanks that clears things up.

Berserk Steve.1530:

Maybe I am a noob and we can do this already but, easy mailing to multiple people? For guild things etc.

Thats a great idea, but the limit is 2 mail before the suppression, which is understandable because of botters and gold sellers, but yea being able to send mail to multiple friends/guildies at once would be great!

I would like to suggest an IMO much needed overhaul to the in game mail system. I know some people don’t use it much, but many of us do have a lot practical use for it, especially when trying to communicate with people from other time-zones, and guild members. And the current implementation is very limiting. Here are my suggestions:

-Increase the total amount of mail you can have active from 10-20(more if possible)

-Create an archive that is seperate from active mail, where mail can be saved so we no longer have to delete mail to make room for new ones with a space of 20(more if possible)

-If clicking return to sender on mail, allow a copy of the mail to be saved to active mail but without the items attached

Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Personally speaking I hate stealth in competitive game play and always will, and think it should be completely overhauled because its just abused to hell, its should not be the focal point of a build, it can maybe buff or add to a build, but to have an entire setup around stealth is just plain ridiculous and bad design.

In regards to your point about condi not being dependent on other stats, its probably because conditions don’t do crit damage.

I was testing out the new radius for the bomb kit on my engi and noticed the circular radius that used to be visible before is no longer there, is this a bug or intended?

I have been having this issue at random times for some months now, at random times I would all of a sudden get massive fps drops, terrible lag, and the game would stutter. When it gets this way the game is completely unplayable and requires a complete shutdown and reload. Another problem is the game cannot be shutdown by normal means from in-game options otherwise it completely freezes up my computer, I have to manually minimize it and close it from the task manager, this could take several tries as the game becomes totally locked up and unresponsive.

I found that this can sometimes be caused when being on a map for a certain amount of time, although its still random. And when opening/closing an internet browser in the background like AOL or even IE. The browser use seems to trigger it more often, but its still random. Could you please look into this?

Congrats on the move I still miss you all, but wish you the best of luck and many fun fights on DB. I hope the move works out for you all <3

Strong reset and weekend, looking forward to a week of slaughtering enemies, come join us.

Special shoutout to our always amazing OCX/SEA crew for a helluva job (as always), just great stuff <3

Zachary Stiers.1879:

An upcoming patch will contain changes to how line of sight is calculate for arrow carts. Some of the arrow cart skills ignored line of sight and the rest were too forgiving with their line of sight calculations. Both of these issues allowed players with modified cameras to shoot an arrow cart from behind walls to locations they shouldn’t have even been able to see, much less fire at. In the future arrow cart skills will use a special type of line of sight checking specifically designed to reduce this problem while still making the allowed target areas feel reasonable.

Thank you for looking into and putting together a fix for this. The abuse was going on for way to long.

No, this is beyond the camera changes. When you see ONE AC spamming MULTIPLE aoe rings at a time, spamming attacks with no cd, doing ridiculously high damage, hitting stuff way beyond its range and ability/los, then there is indeed cheating and abuse going on. I see this abused every night by jq, one ac doing all this impossible stuff.

I am fed up with having to deal with this garbage this is beyond pathetic abuse, JQ uses this hacking cheat everyday to kill all siege and defending players constantly especially during late na times. This is not even tied to the camera changes, this is cheating, no way one ac can fire so often, so far, and do this much damage without some sort of cheat involved. Shame on you jq for your continued pathetic cheating.

Great start to the week, and solid reset night, shoutout to our buddies at MAS and UD for their always appreciated help and teamwork <3

For the players that were on YB before these T1 guilds stacked onto our server, it really sucks. We pretty much can’t WvW now because there’s no one to WvW against, and these T1 guys who want to “push to T1 lol” aren’t leaving because of all the locked servers.

You have our sympathies, and even though many of us were friends with the people who left, we are glad that our server is alive and busy again.

only one Ive ever seen is ultimate dominator, thats the only one thats actually doable if you play on a high tier server that is.

Recently some gvg oriented guilds from t1 transfered to YB for reasons that baffle many people, these were NA guilds which pushed YB’s already high NA coverage and queues even higher. FA/SoS have had a lot of animosity towards YB for their PPT siegecreep tactics, and siegehumping ways, Ive fought them I have seen them build 5acs open field with a blob, after a while it gets annoying. T2 has long been where GvG guilds had settled. So since the recent transfers to YB. Many in FA/SoS have decided to simply sit out and let YB rise up hoping it wont take that long, initial estimates were a few weeks, current about 40 weeks lol, so yea dont hold your breath the more YB wins the less glicko rating they get from SoS and FA. On top of that I believe Anet locked all the tiers for now. Also some gvg guilds had decided to move to t3 out of protest. And the YB community is from what I hear kind of splitting apart with some guilds leaving and being bought out. Also anet recently changed the way server status is determined, no longer by population but by wvw activity, but they didnt give any details. Good luck, hope this helps clear some stuff up for you.

The lag in EB NA T1 is beyond horrible, the usual double teaming going on with all 3 server blobs in one area. No skills are working, cant use heals, cant do anything, thanks anet for wasting everyones time. Cant even auto attack gg gj.

@ Whyter, people like you who constantly complain about anet not fixing stuff in wvw but yet when clear evidence is presented about something being exploited you act like oh its no big deal don’t worry about it, you really don’t see your own contradiction? Why not just go on one of the many threads about the eu hackers and say OH its no big deal guys its just one person on a small server….

Once again, it does not matter if it can be countered, and it does not matter whether or not the server doing it is out manned. Exploits are exploits and never should be allowed simple as that, if you cant understand that, well that’s your fault. I have seen an entire map blob standing there using spawn siege. Just because a server has more people it means its ok to use exploits against them? What kind of ridiculous and faulty argument is that? Why not try less emotion and more logic.

@Jayne & Whyther, is flyhacking ok if you can hit him with ranged attacks? By your logic it is :/

or maybe speedhacking is ok to because you have access to cc skills?

There doesn’t seem to be much you can do atm, either wait for changes or go to another server, unfortunately those are pretty much the only 2 options.

While I hate condition builds personally, having to many counters to them makes them unusable and ineffective.

We were all having a good laugh watching you guys paint jq bl red all night while we were covering home bl, was hilarious

shagwell.1349:

Based on this, people should stop fighting each other when group 1 has 50+ people and group 2 has 20 people, people should stop using eyefinity, mesmers should not port people into the enemy citadel, yadda yadda. (happens all the time in wvw, every day on every server)

Nothing in wvw is fair. Not sure what the intention of the thread was, when you see that the server providing the screenshots outnumber the others at least 2:1 and isn’t capable of killing a piece of siege and supply drain them?

Where do people come up with this? So the only time exploits and abuse should be looked into is when servers have equal numbers? What sense does that make. Its ok for a server to exploit something because they might have less numbers on, thats some of the dumbest rationale Ive ever seen.

It doesnt matter whether or not the siege there can be hit or not, its not supposed to be allowed to be built in the first place, it is a clear abuse of an exploit.

wyther.8372:

Still mostly a non issue, take the tower then wait and get your troll kills and move on; let the people getting destroyed on their OWN BL have a chance to regain something. Of all the places the ones in question are most used for trolling opponents and scoring easy kills.

Granted, I will say that is the easiest place to get fights, especially on tiers that have few people left. However, once the people come to fight and you can’t hang on just back out and get to another tower/keep/garrison and fight there.

That is some of the worst rationale I’ve ever seen for allowing this kind of behavior. Hey how about we allow cheating and hacking when an opponent is losing, how about we also not attack a losing server? Do you not understand that staying silent and doing nothing to fix an ongoing exploit that people are abusing is bad for the game and population? Is it really so hard for people to put aside subjective opinion and think objectively?

I dont think there is a block limit like in gw1, thankfully. But again thats not the point of the post lol, the right click block feature when clicking on enemy players seems out of place and can have the opposite intent of its purpose, thats all I am trying to point out. I dont personally mind hate messages they amuse me to no ends, and any friendly messages are nice as well. But again the function itself doesnt make sense to me imo in the current wvw setting.

MesmerizedNYC.2479:

Well my spam idea has not worked. I’ve yet to get back to YB after a week. But from what I’m getting PM’d, reading in the forums and MOS, the T2 action has become lopsided with the exodus from BG to YB. That stinks since the best fights IMHO were in T2 before all of this happened. I merely popped down to Maguuma and T3 to figure out how it managed to rise from the ashes and get a little change from the same three server fight for umpteenth week.

T3’s been ok at best. Definitely not as much action as there was in T2 during prime EST before this whole event happened.

I’ll stay in T3 for the present as I’ve no desire to go back to T2 with the lopsided match-up.

Well from what I understand some in t2 in FA/SoS are more then happy to see YB leave the tier and are sitting out, and some of the more gvg oriented players are looking to t3 because of the current t2 situation.

Jayne.9251:

If the taunting is getting too much in whispers, you can always .. wait for it .. block them.

And then they can’t whisper you.

Yes I know, that’s not the point of the post. The right click feature itself imo makes no sense as it has the complete opposite effect from its purpose.

Oh yea let me clarify by saying I’m referring to blocking of enemy players only, letting us block people on the same server is fine, there are always some stupid trolls.

I have been wondering this for sometime, why is there a block feature in wvw for enemy players when we cannot whisper them? If you right click an enemy player it shows block and report options. But the block option only enables someone to stalk and troll you. Basically allowing them to send hate messages (which I personally enjoy and find amusing) and leaving you without a way to respond since you are on their block list, this also enables them to stalk you since blocked list shows peoples location.

So I’m just curious, is there a point to having this feature in there at all, it seems to have the opposite effect from its intended purpose, shouldn’t it be removed?

there are quite a few spots this bug has been exploited, guess anet wont bother trying to fix it or taking action against people exploiting with the new maps coming…

Um, how long exactly have you been on t1??? Since when has t1 played different servers every week, Ive been on t1 since SoR rose up to it and we played bg and jq for over a year, and it has been bg v jq v tc since, when exactly was there different servers every week? T1 servers in NA and EU are both full and unless your afk during total dead times your statement of wvw being empty most of the time is completely false. Golem rush was a weeklong event, get over it, its done, in the past.

Your suggestion makes no sense whatsoever. Making wvw guild based destroys the whole concept of wvw aka WORLD VS WORLD, the whole point is for servers to be matched against servers and that includes everyone on that server. Forcing guilds at random to play on different colors every week, which btw you can do in eotm, will not only destroy wvw but guilds and servers as well.

I’ve been playing wvw since release. EotM is also always busy so again thanks for proving my point. Instead of just claiming it would destroy guilds please state theories as to why you think so? Destroying servers isn’t the worse idea ever, everything besides wvw is mega server. And everyone that wants to join the tier 1 servers can’t, meaning wvw is dying off, because we can’t get fresh players into the servers.

I believe it would make guilds stronger because they would want to be recruiting more people who can help carry a server every week, instead of relying on some one else to do it.

There would be no point in server transfer, it’s an old system that doesn’t work anymore. That’s why I think there should be a guild transfer system that is much more cost effective, that way anet no longer is targeting only wvw players but all players, meaning the price of transfers would be lower for all.

No offense, but it seems like you dont understand what your saying. If eotm is your model for better wvw, you just lost all credibility right there, you completely misunderstood my point about eotm/color system and guilds. Guilds can go to eotm anytime to do exactly what you suggested. What purpose is there to destroying servers, reworking transfer fees, pushing guilds at random to fight on different servers all in favor of making wvw better….??? Do you not see your contradiction? WvW means world vs world its not guild centered, guilds play an important role but wvw is not designed around guilds.

Does the exp Gold Experience booster work on wxp? And why is it only 20m :/

Strider Pj.2193:

An easy solution for those guilds split by the changes (which begs the question why they moved in the first place) is to move to a tier 4-5 server that isn’t locked. If enough of the guilds that are up in the top three tiers did this, likely the tiers would shake up.

There are ALWAYS choices.

There is a reason some people prefer the upper tiers over lower ones. Because they might offer more for them, more active, more timezone coverage, more fights, etc etc. I have played through every tier and against every server and in all honesty I personally prefer t1 because its most active. T4/5 might be fine for some, not knocking those servers whatsoever, but its not for everyone.

Great group of folks, always fun to fight alongside
