It’s more fun kill low levels and karma trainers than normal wvw players.

Say what?

Interpretation- Its easier, and therefore more fun for him :/

this man needs a longbow sniper for a noble cause, surely someone will step forward

Yea guild management seriously needs a major overhaul, messaging is one of the areas that could use improvement. Many dont read or even notice the Message of the day Postings, idk about being able to send multiple mails. But being able to send multiple pm’s at once would be useful for online members to get them ready for events, missions etc

yea never seen anyone turn down siege, they burn through it, and are generous enough to use lots of their own superiors/guild siege which is not cheap for them. Never hear anyone complain about regular siege getting thrown down tbh, they just throw more superior/guild siege if needed. If its undefended tower for example and we have a big group, one regular ram is more then enough

it does have its downsides of course.

Promotes more zerging/blobbing, wvw always been a numbers game
Promotes to much sieging/bunkering in towers/keeps
Promotes….ughh open field sige use

Its only temporary and going away with tuesdays update, could very well come back as a perm/temp feature someday, but who knows.

watchwork pick definately, effect is not bad either

@ Opc, doesnt change the fact its still pathetic gameplay, like camping OS and ganking people who are just trying to do the kitten jp, shame on them

ah you would be surprised by the number of people lower tier servers can field, PPK obviously only helps if your killing enemy players, if there is no competition and no fights yea its not useful. But if theres fights it gives a very nice boost to ppt

long as your killing its a boost, if your ticking 250, kill 50 enemy players in those 15 minutes, which is not hard to do, thats an extra 50 points not including bloodlust finisher points. Thats a 20% point boost for that tick, nice boost Id say

I got a little mixed up there lol, because the topic is on tomes :p, but either way ranks should not be bought, should be earned. Didnt like it when they implemented that, but I like that it costs laurels to deter people from stocking up on it. I can understand its helpful for pve only players who just want easy way to get the gift of battle rank 14+ req

well, look at it this way, the PPT tick is every 15mins right, assuming an average tick of 200-300. Imagine how many kills your server can get in that time period, even more for using finishers with bloodlust active. So yea its gotta be pretty big, at least for higher pop servers, its basically designed to reward zerging, while no swords was designed to reward havok/roamers.

it would, but the pve purists will freak out and rage because they will have to do wvw or….eotm for badges.

spawn camping is just bad trolling, its a shame when people have to resort to that trying to get cheap kills.

Zaxares.5419:

Allow me to buy Liquid WXP for Badges and I’ll be happy.

you actually can buy the Taste of Liquid WXP from the laurel merchant. However it also costs 2 laurels each, so not really worth it. Its really just there for people who want a legendary (gift of battle requires rank 14+) and will never bother to do any actual wvw, aside from mapping which you can do solo and not participate in anything that offers wxp.

It is a congested mess atm, I dont know what they were thinking combining it all together it makes no sense. It needs to be seperated by gamemode and guild recuritment/lfg like before

yea unfortunately many dont share your sportsmanlike attitude and would just use it to troll people, would do more harm then good

Lord Kuru.3685:

Is there a way to remove his shield? Dulfy and wiki are not helpful.

on wiki-

Bug:
The jellies required to remove the fire shield will often not appear at all, making impossible to remove the shield and the fight nearly impossible for teams of smaller size and average DPS.

Ive done this bounty a couple times, never seen jellies. Found it easier with small groups though.

Xiem.4719:

Use immersive combat mode =) http://wesslen.org/ICM/

Never heard of that, if thats some kind of 3rd party software, highly recommend not to. Also suggested avoiding unknown websites.

you tried to take our tower last night…sorry about what we did… cya out there guys

PS.-I’d like a cookie

Highly doubtful no white swords would become permanent considering how much crap they got for it. PPK seems more likely as a candidate for becoming a permanent feature with the next gimmick…er tournament.

On wiki-

Custom emotes

You can create custom emotes by typing /me, /emote, /em, or /e followed by a space and the text to display as an emote. There are no associated animations for custom emotes, and opponents in World vs World will not be notified of these in their chat logs, they will see “[<world> <rank>] gestures.” instead. For example,

/me laughs in triumph displays “[Character Name] laughs in triumph” in a gray color, but the character will not perform the laughing emote. If done in World vs World by a player, a foe would see it as: “[World Name] Invader gestures.”

yea the living story one is bugged, the current wintersday/wvw sneak attack markers can be minimized but not removed. The content guide just removes that arrow that points you to stuff

I know the frustration its annoying, especially in wvw where you need that field of view more then anywhere

minimizing it, the living story one seems to be bugged, if you try to quit an episode to make the quest marker go away it just reappears. There is also an option to turn off the content guide if that helps you. If its off, events will still show, it just wont point you to stuff.

Heres what I used to do when I was a guild leader, to avoid this one because it has caused so many problems and frustrated so many people. We decided to avoid it entirely. Heres what you do, pop a safety rush right before you start missions, you should be doing rush last anyways. This way you can see what rush will be available and have 5 hours to activate it. If crab scuttle pops first, have someone activate it and let it fail, then activate another one when it lets you.

Its a safeway to get around it if you want to avoid it, because I know too its a giant pain in the kitten and has long needed a major overhaul, most missions do tbh.

I have to agree that many who start in bronze dont know kitten about tactics, strategy, builds etc regarding wvw. But not all, servers that were high rank, and drop will still retain a good amount of WvW veterans who are more then willing to train players and guide them for wvw. You can always learn this stuff, its not the hardest thing in the world, the problem is many are unwilling to learn for various reason or just not interested in wvw at all.

The Sneak Attack is a temporary Event for WvW much like seasons/tournaments. The PPK/No white swords features were implemented as part of it. PPK to reward zerging, no white swords to help roamers/havok groups. We might see one or both of these features implemented someday, but thats anyones guess. This is likely just a test run to try out these features and check out player feedback.

Also since bloodlust was introduced you can still get ppk as long as your server controls bloodlust on any bl and enemies are killed by a finisher, not as convenient, but still there.

you would really feel much better if you just get the sigil on your uw weapon, its a stupid change no doubt about it, but cant do anything about it except adapt.

think he wants to team up with one, considering how most every engi is a bunker turret build in pvp, ranger makes sense to team up with

should post here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/support

they made the first 15 levels faster, isnt that enough???

/sarcasm over

+1 to this idea, have ten’s of thousands of badges will never use, leveling was tedious before now with the stupid NPE and trait unlocks ughhh. But you know pve purists will go nuts over it.

Im going to try to decipher what you mean here. Winning servers are not always green, Overgrowth seems to, more often then not outnumber the other 2 sides in EoTM making that farm/leveling impossible or difficult. So paying to transfer to winning servers doesnt make EoTM farming easier, if thats what your getting at. Heres the thing, wvw players have little to no sympathy for EoTM issues, because many view it as a braindead karma/champ farm overtaken by lowlevel pve’ers. Also, nothing there matters, its color based not server, so its not like your fighting for anything. Its just a place to screw around in, its meaningless, so dont expect much sympathy here.

You should post this in the recruitment forum here
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/lookingfor

and if you tried our for Ark Im assuming you were in Maguuma? Unless Im mistaken, you should list what server your on, and if your willing to move.

aspirine.6852:

Get rid of it? It looks kinda good, but I dont understand why so much trouble went into something no-one was asking for?

EoTM was originally designed as an area for players to go to be able to do WvW while waiting out queues, which in the past used to be really, really bad for some servers..talking hours everyday, every map at least in t1 it was. Heck on reset nights, maps were queued until saturday morning, wouldnt break till around 5-6am sometimes. But that was then. People quickly discovered EoTM can be used to karma train and level up toons so now you have another zerg driven farm map that pve’ers want to complain about whenever anything challenging comes up.

this is why many people despise eotm as nothing more then a braindead karma train for pve’ers who just want to farm with low levels and pve builds.

can always just get the rare breathers, and legendaries on the tp if you dont want to work for them.

you can just click on the node before mining, so its targeted and you wont interact with the npc, and for the love of god change the title :/

This idea makes no sense in all honesty. First of all the population cap is I believe 80, although Ive heard different numbers, it already causes too much lag and other issues for many players, doubling or triping that would make wvw unplayable for anyone. Second having a home bl pop advantage is flat out unfair and impractical and would essentially make players upgrade everything making ppt nearly impossible on any bl except for EB and thus wvw would become extremely boring and not fun for anyone. You assume each side would field max numbers on each map, and this hardly ever happens, and especially wont with those figures. Having the home bl in larger size would mean nobody goes on other maps, it makes no sense. Also this would do nothing whatsoever to help smaller servers but instead would punish them. I cant understand the reasoning behind this idea.

yep EB is usually queued, the others queue when bounce groups show up during the week, reset night queues are to be expected

BG does indeed have queues its just not as bad or often as TC, at least from what I hear from friends on TC, and others who have posted on the forums regarding it.

I have to agree to a point that a lot wvw threads do contain tons of toxic posts both past and present, and I have noticed many times they really post more on threads the topic is less controversial and not open for criticisms and angry replies. But on the other hand WvW is a part of the game, and it does look rather odd to have so little dev/anet attention on these forums. I mean its one of the 3 gamemodes and it only has 1 sticky thread.

whats your point? your upset you cant karma train all the time like you used to because good players went in there and actually have the nerve to fight your group? how dare they get in the way of your farm! Eotm has been around for a little over a year, anyone can go in there at anytime and do whatever they want, theres plenty of farming in pve maps. People who go into EoTM/ WvW with pve setups, or are low levels OF COURSE are going to get slaughtered when fighting wvw focused players.

I enjoyed bronze to a point when I was there. As far as queues, there was’nt much aside from certain times, say a bounce group all moving to one map to defend for example. We did have some great commanders for awhile that used some excellent strategy for capping and fights, unfortunately some of them left to soon. There was a lot of blobbing, more then I expected to be honest, but it kind of depends what server your on because bronze covers like 9 servers. There is a lot for roamers, and plenty of room for zerging. Personally having played through every tier and against every server I prefer T1 because its always busy, so it offers more for someone like me who zergs, havoks, scouts etc.

many of us have posted improvement threads, only time will tell. In the meantime just try to have fun with it as best you can, and if a break is needed here and there, dont let yourself get burned out.

I remember we had this throughout the first season, heck it was so bad we couldnt even autoattack, and forget heal skills. 3 way SMC fights, you were lucky your computer didnt explode. Ive heard a lot about the EU lag, I have to assume with so many people having this issue the problem must lie with Anet’s servers. We had this same issue in NA for a long time, its gotten better but those lag spikes still pop up at times. I would recommend just try playing with lower settings if you havent already tried it already, and maybe update your video card. Good Luck.

Also you might want to post here, or check out this tech support forum, maybe you will find something that helps.

this is just a bad idea man, population problem will be worse when nobody is in wvw anymore because its turned into EoTM. You seem to have some personal issues with wvw and thats understandable, there are a lot of issues that need to be worked out, but this is not a good idea by any means. If your getting burned out, take a break, its ok to.

There are push weeks, because many simply dont care about playing for ppt every week. Which is kind of backwards thinking, if you want fights and people dont show up because its not a push weeek your going to be constantly outnumbered by an opponent that blobs everywhere and…uses open field siege, Shame on you TC

I can understand your frustration with this I really can, Ive been in that situation for a long time where our NA might have over 300ppt all evening go into midnight leading by 10k….and by morning everything is paper, we own nothing and we are losing. Been there, like many others because of lack of coverage, it sucks, it really does to see all that work, time and effort go down the drain. But you have to understand its just a part of the gamemode, its flawed yes, but its a part of it nonetheless. The only thing to do is recruit for those timezones where your server is lacking. And if it gets to a point where you just cant take it anymore, transfer out, avoid the anger and frustration and go somewhere to have fun again.

consider joining a PvP focused guild, if you havent yet, should help you find teamates, good luck

I can answer this, because Gaile probably doesnt play WvW

I remember your post, I guess the end of the holidays didnt help the queues over there. I would add that if you enjoy T1 you should include a t2 server in your decision, I would avoid t3 for individual players right now because of the unbalanced matchups atm. There are basically 4 t2 servers competing for those 3 spots in T2, and one of them will keep getting bounced to t3 and beat up on the other t3 servers. If you decide to look at t2, I would probably recommend FA, they have been very stable albeit not through the best actions, but if your on T1, its not something you havent seen before. T2 will have the same blobbing and double teaming as t1, but theres a lot of action there. YB has a kitten for siege much like TC does…sigh open field siege…anyways, SBI has been pretty stable in t4, DH and GoM have been moving up the last couple months from Bronze to Silver, but hard to say atm if either will settle into one of those tiers. Hope this helps some. Good luck.
