I literally feel depressed about this decay change. The outnumbered change was good enough. This decay happens to o fast/quickly.
I used to do maybe 40 hrs a week and get maybe 5 wvw track done and have fun.
Now with this new decay system I am losing participation way way way too quickly.
It felt like 1/2 of the time I was struggling to not decay.
This is really horrendous and unrealistic for the timers.
It took me 10 hrs to do a 8 hr wvw track. That was me trying hard. This is just awful…..
The outnumbered fix was good enough. I don’t like the changes to decay! They need to get rid of this decay crap they changed. It is ruining the game for me. It happens to fast/quickly. I was on a map and we had capped our corner and I was trying to scout and trying to repair, destroy siege and kill guards wasn’t good enough. Even with participation it wasn’t good enough/working too well.
Seriously the outnumbered change was good enough. Change decay back. It is horrible and unfair. If you are on desert bl, roaming, scouting, or in your own corner of ebg the task of trying to not decay is overwhelming and ruining the game.
This decay is awful. The outnumbered fix was good enough. They need to get rid of this decay crap they changed. It is ruining the game for me. Also everything you wrote is correct too.
Either we are getting ddos in wvw or the decay timer changes and outnumbered changes and glicko changes broke wvw
Maybe anet should use a different gaming engine thing or get some ddos protection
NO! Glicko is way way worse than 1 up 1 down. At least there is a visible reason to 1 up 1 down and it makes sense to the average player. Glicko was insane and very volatile. 1 up 1 down 99% of the people like so it’s good.
I don’t like I have to move around to see the different laurel merchants. It just doesn’t make sense to not have them all uniform.
Sell an invisible tag for wvw boom problem solved. Anet makes money and people who want to be left alone from pve players can have privacy to have a guild only run and still get a squad pip.
Roamers, scouts, defenders or a structure and people on desert bl are punished by increased decay ALSO outnumbered punishes people who move maps to defend a structure. Not cool…
Or they can just have loot box boxes that stack and are the same title so they are the same loot box so you don’t get 10 different boxes.
I would like a airship back pack or glider from wvw to use in pve lol ^^ hehe
BUT sometimes you don’t see action and what about scouts or roamers? If we are making or refreshing siege or running on that HUGE desert bl map it isn’t a fair or viable option. Decay should be slower at least on a desert bl please since it is wayyyyyyyy more huge.
But in a way it does punish the average player for leaving a map to save something if it deprives them of their pips.
Sometimes disbanding and remaking squad helps fix this issue. Also if anyone uses tonics or does certain things with their legendary armor it can increase waiting time at a waypoint. Also I noticed when someone moves claims around and are waypointing this may be an issue too.

BUT there is a big issue with this! What if you have to change maps to save something? If one map is outnumbered and the other one isn’t that punishes people. not cool to change the outnumbered.
All the laurel merchants in the game vary :/
Can this change?
In PVE the vendor have heavy crafting bags you can buy, but not in wvw for example.
I don’t like that vendors in PVE and WVW aren’t as uniform.
Please add the pve laurel options to the wvw laurel vendors please.
Thank you <3
Please try to get 1 up 1 down up and running again. No one likes glicko
I saw a bug in SMC. It was where the inner north west gate was shooting rocks out of both sides of the gate. It looked like it was raining rocks. I am not sure if the bug is gone, but that was a funny one.
Someone on my server hasn’t gotten any legendary spikes as a drop so I wondered if you can also make a mystic forge recipe for it also as an alternative. Thank you.
I am hoping anet can tweak wvw a bit more.
I was wondering if an option can be added to allow you to accelerate your pip timer for the rewards. An example : You’re in wvw and you’re going to be getting offline, but you are trying to wait out the timer and rewards to decay/expire 1st. The new option would be to talk to a wvw merchant and they can accelerate it so you get your rewards, but you can’t come back into wvw until the time would have passed that it fast forwarded for. This will stop people from afking to get their rewards at the end and causing people to wait in queues until they leave. It was hard to word this, but I hope I got the idea across.
Sometimes if you use a tonic or a teammate uses a tonic I see for a squad, but maybe it’s a coincidence. Also the legendary armor stuff could be still causing issues.
and 2620 for the nice ascended armor a full set for the tickets XD
I did a lot of wvw in a week and only have 70 skirmish tickets It will take forever to get the 2,450 tickets needed for a main part of the backpack and the 350 for essence of annihilation.
Why is it each party in a squad can have more than 5 people? You only give out boons to 5 people in your party so should that be changed?
I have guild mates who did the raids and put a lot of time into it and didn’t get anything at all from it except magnetite shards if anet can fix this then that’d be cool. Once they do should people just make a ticket with anet and you can see in their gw2 history they finished the raid and they be compensated with a raid loot they would’ve gotten?
Thank you anet for finally after some years giving us a legendary backpack, ascended armor/weapons from wvw, a wvw tab with stats, some rewards tracks, changing stuff to 1 up 1 down.
The desert bl from the expansion was previously ( and sort of still) too big and oddly spaced for the terrain. Thank you for adjusting it somewhat and taking out the laser event and barriers and etc because that was awful getting lag from that.
This last wvw update to me has revitalized wvw and to me this feels like an early expansion gift to us wvw players or a long overdue update to it.
I would just ask if you can please now do a vote for unlinking servers since now we have queues and wvw has more people who have come back.
Make the 3rd floor of smc not able to have trebs built there because it’s not fair for a server to not have to leave smc and take every tower from a treb in there.
Also re-space the desert bl map so the keeps and towers are situated on the map how they are on the alpine maps.
Also if you can cut the amount of skirmish tickets needed in 1/2 for the backpack and armor to make it more do-able. If I were to try for the backpack it’d take over 2k tickets and that’d probably take me a yr of grinding many hrs and for the armor like probably the same
For color blind blind people maybe add shapes to tags or a symbol to them also.
Can you bring back also the quaggans we gave things to?
Add a thing to tactics so if someone pulls it it shows the name of who last pulled it.
Make it so people can’t spam the same item in map chat a thousand times because people troll chat by linking an item hundreds of times in a row.
Last thing work a bit more on wvw balance for skills. Condi (too much ability to apply so many condition) seems to have taken over instead of skill I’d rather it go back to power builds having the advantage than so much darn condi. H.o.t. builds seem cheesy sometimes or certain ones overpowered. If you look back at the meta from 2014 that was the most balanced meta. ( except then mesmers were very over powered, but oh well).
I am asking this as a 4+ wvw veteran with many thousands of hrs logged.
Also tyvm anet for everything and we love you for this last update again.
This has revitalized wvw and gw2 and people are coming back to the game. Guilds that have died off are coming back this summer too

All the scribing stuff needs to go into storage. I have so many acct bound scribing items that filled up my warriors inventory max lvling her scribe out it isn’t even funny. I’d rather not delete the stuff because it was spendy to make.
:/ condi is more over powered and the way to reduce it has bveen reduced XD nerfed our foods and etc. XD!
wvw, Wvw, WVw, WVW, WVW!!!!!!!!!!!! I know purely wvw players and having 1/3 of the game mode unable to get ascended armor from their game mode is not fair or nice.
I mean look at pvp, YOU don’t even use the gear you can make/earn from pvp in pvp. That’s a slap in the face to wvwers everywhere.
Just have a wvw ascended vendor that we can use badges of honor and proof of heroics to buy the armor and weapons.
Super Easy fix and people will want to play the game and come back. Boom.
I hope anet can add what they hinted they were going to add. It would only make sense to make ascended available from WVW. You can get ascended armor from pve crafting, pve raid, even pvp and pvp doesn’t use armor from that. Wvw is 1/3 of the game mode or more and players who just do wvw only deserve the chance to buy armor.
Some hours some servers are more strong than others depending on where the players live and what their prime time is at. T1 shouldn’t have link servers. T2 should only have 1 link server if any. Too many link servers for 1 server and you throw them in T1 where they don’t want to be.
That was the post that hinted at a wvw ascended vendor. Everyone in wvw is waiting please help! Q_Q https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Changes-to-Ascended-Vending
Every single game mode has a ascended vendor at this time EXCEPT wvw!
We had a post from anet hinting at a ascended vendor in wvw and we all have been patiently waiting for it. Today the patch didn’t have it.
We all on gw2 are very very patiently waiting for an ascended vendor in wvw.
When is it coming?
Also still waiting on a wvw ascended or legendary backpack and some new tracks please.
ANet Q_Q please help us. WVw doesn’t have an ascended vendor for armor like pvp, raid, or other things have it. Please don’t forsake us.
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Just 1 time ever did they have to. When in wvw something went wrong with armor binding. They did a roll back. It was 1 time in 4 years that I know of. But it’ll be okay. I have faith they can fix it.
Someone wrote something cute on another page elsewhere. “anet making wvw great again by breaking everything else.” It made me giggle.
It’s 8 p.m. in Seattle so I don’t think many people from anet would be in the office.
I wondered if they had “fixed something” and if that broke something.
If they can’t figure out what’s wrong then can they just roll it back?
Can you make it so we can go inside of that SAB tree house looking thing since it is soooo expensive to build? It is called the super forest house. It has a door on it, but people can’t go inside.

Our party spent 5+ hrs using a guide and video to hit every baubble as a group and everyone got credit but 2 of us. There is a baubble bug I believe for one of the last baubbles. After you open a chest and have to get very high and take on some monkeys before the last check point there is a baubble you have to dodgeroll and curve jump a lot to get to. When people would try to get this baubble the dodge roll would lag. and when we walked into it I don’t think it disappeared.
Can the Trading post have a thing added where is you have unlocked a dye or armor you can check mark it to filter it out of the search?
Some people want to buy every dye or armor or weapon type they can and manually searching for them is time consuming for acquiring skins.
It happens. Thank you for giving us the info and etc.
It could be a lot worse. At least this time Jormag didn’t send a blizzard to cut off the power.

I tried out a pvp match and the whole time there was a thief who was perma-stealthed. He just did traps and a lot of condi stuff. It seems a tiny bit broken for pvp. I couldn’t see him or stop him and it sort of ruined the match
How do you stop a perma-stealth if you are on a guard? It just sucked to have an enemy messing with me I couldn’t see at all. I don’t pvp much.
HOW ABOut a REusable Upgrade extractor! That would sell like crazy! People need sigils and runes out of armor and when Legendary armor comes out this will be needed badly.
If it takes a server to have 2 links to be able to be able to compete in T1 they don’t belong there.
So t1 have 2 servers in it instead? :o that actually sounds like an awesome idea
I’ve played this game for about 4 yrs and have done thousands of hrs of wvw. I just want people to have fun. Having guilds and server torn apart because of awful tier placement where they don’t belong or can’t even keep up is just mean
I’ve heard people call facing TC right now “like clubbing baby seals”… this is just mean and sad. TC and their 2 dead servers/pugs they are liked with can’t deal with T1.
Anet have mercy on poor TC.
