Guild Wars 2

Someone said Waypoints give an advantage……OFC they do! you spend all that time getting that sucker up for a reason,

I am of the opinion that people attacking other peoples maps should in no way be given any advantage whatsoever it’s not their map why should they. (Get rid of siegerazor except homemap)

Waypoints becoming contested should be removed.(open until it flips; if it flips)

the ability for an opposing server to make a waypoint on an enemies map should be removed. (it’s pretty much a troll tactic now)

grabemx.9836:

So I was 1v1ing today and he was getting really frustrated. My health was not dropping at all. He started emoting all these stomps and sads and mads and jumped up and down. I could almost guarantee he was about to punch his computer in its virtual face. After about 10 minutes of this I said “ok this is ridiculous” and came out of the tower.

Bahaha, Awesome.

before today, look at the logs at who has flipped ebays stuff, it’s been 99% BP
Yak’s and Ebay haven’t attacked each other than the token camp/free tower.

you get the points, but you needed an alliance to do it, you both know who will win 1v1 when these leagues are over and you can’t get an alliance.

Y-Bay enjoy your win knowing you needed a lot of help from another server to do it.

league servers are locked, so whatever server your on is the one that will be used at the end of the league for reward/score etc.

you can still transfer but you won’t get that servers rewards at the end; only the one that you were on at the start.

or roll-back the AC damage nerf that would at least get another QQ thread

but anyways I think they are trying to make a faster paced WvW you need to really hustle/scout around with those rams skills now.

uh….so…I mean really? alt-F4 is a problem? how many people actually do this? I mean come on you have to restart game re-load wait, then enter wvw and wait, then get back to the ruins….are there a lot of people that do this? seems like a complete waste of time, and those people that do it aren’t real WvW players.

I guess I just don’t get it. but i’m sure the dev’s can fix it just like they fixed the other problem. they, like me probably never imagined so many people would go through all that trouble to avoid a stomp lol it’s silly.

ARGH!, ok well 2 outta 3 ain’t bad. Thanks

I don’t want conjecture or “player tests” I want actual Official Responses.

and I would like everyone to plead in this post for the dev’s to answer.

Can we please have the actual numbers regarding WvW Server capacity limits.

What is the ACTUAL maximum allowed number of players per server?.
Does it change depending on the 3 servers in a matchup?
Does it change during the night/day?

Thanks

Here’s a link to the All-stat Guardian, only the Backpiece is not included so you can actually add +28 to all-stats

I was wondering why they don’t just make all of the walls taller, or have the 2 upgrades keep making the whole tower taller along with making them tougher.

I mean it is kinda silly being able to see the top of the wall and no one has a ladder?
or if you camera zoom in as close as possible and be about 6 feet away from the top of the wall. (maybe not for asurans)

How about make an option to make it 100% larger.

Just wait till leagues start, any of the siege/supply griefing is going to get worse.

on something that Devon said to the effect of “WvW isn’t supposed to be easy” I’d like to ask why don’t they get rid of the Breakout Event on Borderlands that aren’t the home map for that server.

I don’t understand why the 2 other servers get a unlimited amount of supply on a map that isn’t theirs in the first place.

A BO on the “home” map makes sense, but I don’t know why they do it for the other maps.

with all the new content and all the stuff to do all the time it is overwhelming, which is a good thing I guess I mean come on! every 2 weeks there’s some good drama unfolding, new stuff, new tricks, new this new that. Ya all the endless stuff anet is making me do to try and keep up with everything. I don’t think there is another game out there that can say the same thing.

Thanks Anet for continuing to re-define MMO in a good way.

Gratz to the Anet person proving a point, if you want to GvG fine, but don’t cry if someone wants to stand wherever they feel like it.

GvG doesn’t contribute the the WvW experience, i’d say it’s more on the side of exploit more than anything since you can control the amount of wxp and loot to a certain extent.

just go to OS the jumping puzzle area, you have scheduled times, just leave early for the map, like in real life if you know the commute is a pain in the kitten then Leave Early to arrive on time.

I used to use this regularly, but it doesn’t record everything, I see some 5-7k hits on my screen but nothing shows up in the combat log, which makes it difficult to see what is going through my armor so easily multiplied 5 or 10 times I wanna know what the heck everyone is using, and try and combat it, or QQ about it

are there any plans on getting the combat log to record all damage?

Hello SBI, Please tell your less then respectable players to stop using AC “Tricks” I am only posting this so you can handle it, and it doesn’t become a bigger issue affecting your growing reputation. please LOOK CLOSELY and please know how Arrow carts work before trying to explain this as “Legit”

Thanks

I was actually there, as you can see all of the abys names in the screenshot. Being the guild leader of Abyss we don’t accept these types of hacks, so therefore we don’t use them. I built that ac below that cliff and with 4 points in ac, you can hit where it’s shown here.

So this is pretty legit

sigh, your looking at the one hitting the edge, I said look closely, the center of the circle on the one hitting the treb is on land that you cannot in no way see from any ground level that you were at. you have to be able to see the land in order to hit where it is hitting. especially if you right next to the cliff, come on LOOK CLOSELY.

ya it takes a SUM of players/NPC’s/Doors taking or receiving damage to trigger Orange swords.
if 25 people fall off a cliff and get fall damage that will trigger Orange Swords.

if you do 1 point or more damage to any gate/wall that will trigger white swords (contested) and takes 30 seconds to show on the map(Waypoints will contest immediately)

people inside a fort when damage is received while see the “Repel the attackers” immediately.

Can we have a full list of what adds to the Points/Score in WvW and how much?

Can the Combat Log be improved to show all damage? a lot of stuff isn’t being reported to the log.(I get 2k-3k hits from something en masse and nothing shows up in the log)

Thanks for your time Anet.

Esuni.2498:

Move the queue out of EB please zepher, then players would gladly go there to get rid of that buff, if the buff is not there atleast

it is a separate map, have you been there lately?

Mag plays like everyone should play to develop their character by gaining WXP from flipping stuff. the more WXP rank/skills you have the better you can serve your Server. learning how to mash into another group behind the windmill is doing what?

it’s like training for the league, are you going to sit for and hour gaining little, or are you going to flip maps gaining a lot of different things that will help come tournament time.

PPT is over, it’s time to get ready to R UUUU MMM BBBBBLLLLE!

so you GvG’rs still don’t want to fight in OS? who’s being counterproductive? move your GvG to the JP and quit all the yapping and be happy that you won’t be disturbing the normal WvW players either on the forums or in the game

seriously, you make a game within the game with adhoc rules and cry that you can’t play a made up game the way you want it. come on really?

just MOVE your Gvg to the JP and problem solved what is so difficult with that?

Look at this silly BP commander, doesn’t know how to play with the big boys. Also is too afraid of my answer so already has me blocked, wut wut

funny how you save me the trouble of posting your zoomhacking to wit:

The center of the red circle is clearly on top of the wall, I couldn’t hit print screen fast enough that shows the red circle to the right of me and overflowing to the outside of the wall.

Magzooma? hmmm well we’ll work on that one some more.

Hey Zepher, there’s a hole in your theory, and your kittening door. Welcome to towers.

sigh, I shouldn’t have posted this because it involves explaining WvW mechanics to responders, but I did post it and I will explain AGAIN.

the CENTER of the AC CIRCLE is ON TOP of the wall, you can’t place the AC circle there without some “Help” and like I said before more AC wakittenting me where I stand and to the right of me.

anyways, I know it’s like beating a dead yak when trying to just show interesting things in WvW like this so……until next time

GvG is lame. instead you should join my GvG trolling group! guaranteed to add more excitement than a bucket of kittens on catnip!

The easiest fix is:

remove all the openings over the gates.
make the walls taller.

Q.Q where all the BP solo roamers<.< im tired of packs

I was solo roamer-ing on Borlis BL until I got mowed down by the big bad zergs a few times – Now I’m just solo camping a tower…

Unh uh! I was there too.!
I swear that tower only gets action when people leave……

oooh kitten I had a nice paragraph post but it didn’t stick.

HI everybody!
now BP gets to learn a new style of play finally (no it isn’t more Roaming ffs)

haven’t seen Pestilence post for long time (Hi DOOD! Hi BURN)

DB….wtf your performance was terrible I mean I finally get to see what all the hoopla was about and …..it truly is just numbers lol thanks for the bag busting bags of loot in bay.

and yes I know BP has given out a lot of bags already so don’t get all huffy

anyways CHEERS TO BP for getting an opportunity to try different things this week.

I have yet to find a search engine on this planet that actually does work

there is something afoot! Vandals have struck

Shpongle.6025:

We were doing a jump puzzle.

Around 980 000 to 1+ million influence, 250 merits.

So we go and do a jump puzzle, and our whole guild disappears right before it ends.

Nobody got rewards either. There were some people, about 10-20 that still had the tag. but most lost it.

When I press G It looks like the guild doesn’t exist. We had around 350 members with 100+ log in every day.

that happens a lot when they have scheduled Maintenance, it clears up after it is completed.

if you have server A and B doing 20v20 on Server B Server C says oh look we can queue the map and outnumber Server B and take all of their Towers and Keeps.

Server C has a 20 man advantage (at least, remember the spectators of Server A and B.)

Server B loses Garrison, Server B gets the map queued to Defend whats left.

Server B has 40 people vs 60 because 20 people think it’s cool to GvG in WvW.

That map flips due to self serving nooblets that don’t know what WvW is and think they are in GW1.

been there done that, seen it happen. and it is only going to get worse.

ANET Please Stop the Madness!

you all need to get out of the WvW thread, GvG is for Guild Wars 1 ya noobs.

go play that game and stay out of WvW so people who really want to play the way it was meant to be played can play. get it?

Ya I’ve been noticing some new trick in WvW, even with my tanky Guardian there is something downing me super fast, I don’t see any damage higher than 387, and the combat log is filled with a bunch of 2 or 3 or 4 hitpoint damage skills hitting me maybe theres a skill glitch?

Enrage Risen and lure them to fight Halla Corpseflayer

How the heck do you get this event to start?
I’ve tried to guest on servers that say “preparation” but I can’t figure out what pre-events are connected to him in order for it to trigger.

as far as I know this is the only event in the whole game worthy of Killstreak Boosters

nah, it’s been 3 weeks. im gonna have to submit a bug report.

Everyone should drop a stealth trap when confronted with a thief, 1 of 2 things will always happen, they run away or die.

I hate thieves. you can easily macro the skills to fit 90% of any situation in WvW

BUT I’m TELLING YOU Stealth traps are freaking hilarious tools to use when a thief is around you, try it

After Transferring Servers, I noticed I am not getting any of the WvW Bonuses
no harvest bonuses, karma etc. and nothing is showing on the WvW icon when mouseover also.

Anyone else have this issue?

Yak’s Bend flexed their Muscles last night in BP, was refreshing to see YB manhandle and farm like I knew they could.

and yes we know how to defend pretty good, so tell all those “I got a golem let’s use it” people to save their money.

OH forgot to mention DH you all are good also we have had some fun times this week I think we will see each other again and again and again.

Fun week

I don’t get it, you can already see where your other party members are. you don’t need whatever it is your using to do that.

the most successful battles in the open field are always people who listen to the commander and STACK, Flank, PUSH etc.

and it helps to see how much supply the group has, which allows the commander to figure out what and how much siege can be thrown down and successfully built.

any commander knows how absolutely worthless the blue icon is if no one listens, and goes off doing their own thing. So to have a better WvW experience listen to commander and don’t freaking worry about someone touching your toons butt (really?)

in all fairness people, this search function is so completely useless im not sure why it is even a feature.

search these game bugs forums for “trading post” and you will get 0 results.

FYI I have yet to see anyone on the planet have a decent search engine in their forums so it’s not just GW2.

WaxWorm.8574:

You can always just access the guild vault and guild upgrades of your actual home server. When transferring to another server, you can’t take the guild upgrades with you. You will either have to build them up from scratch on the new server or transfer back to your old home server. To get your stuff out of the (old) guild vault, you will have to transfer back.

Crud…well thanks for the info!

heyas, I recently transferred to another server and went over to Guest on the server I created my guild on in order to access my Vault, but it’s is saying I never upgraded or even bought the stuff to make a Vault/deep cave etc.

I have 2 Guild upgrade trees heavily invested with influence but they seem to be gone?

it is just a 1 person guild (me)
I had a lot of Valuable stuff in that vault don’t tell me i’m screwed heh.

Found this while hunting dragons,

1. Give people a reason to be in the (3500) area of a commander (Badge bought buffs like guild buffs for WvW claiming)

2. Commander can see all squad members dots anywhere on the map and colored Green=Alive, Blue=Down, Red=Dead

3. Commander assigned tasks to a max of 5 people (all five promoted to “Camp Killer” extra Wxp for doing it in 5 minutes

all of this would be made easier of course with a simple UI like the Contacts panel (Y) we have already; you could see Who’s in Squad, Amount of Supply, and right-click to assign tasks/see what tasks they are available for.

IMO a commander isn’t one who throws down siege, builds siege, and jumps into a zerg hoping to live. A Commander commands other people to do that :P

but it’s pretty solid in players mind to follow the blue icon. or if no blue icon go into PvE.

P.S. knowing how much supply your squad has should be automatic!, No Typing /supplyinfo No opening a UI it should just be on the screen.

ColinJohanson.2394:

When you use the roast beef skill, and follow it up with Au Jus utility you get the FRENCH DIP combo.

It’s way overpowered btw and total BS and Anet needs to balance it.

OMG R O F L!

I don’t know why enemies get a free siegerazor event in a Borderland that is not theirs

Siegerazor should only be on the home map.

that event just makes it feel like there is no “home” map
