Guild Wars 2

Some things can help a bit to speed it up. Repair your client, delete temp files, defragment, delete old picture/music, do disc clean up. This can make more room for the download, can speed up your internet, and when your client is repaired it just is nice ^^Please follow these steps to verify and repair the archive:
Locate your Gw2.exe file.
Right-click on the file and select Create shortcut.
Rename this new shortcut to Guild Wars 2 Repair.
Right-click on Guild Wars 2 Repair and select Properties.
Locate the Target line and add –repair to the end. …
Click OK.

Also if you close the client, push refresh reopen it and wait and don’t have any other windows open at all, it downloads faster.

It doesn’t hurt anything as long as it is on public for tactivators. Also it is good to see anet in wvw, that means they are actually there. To discourage anet from being in wvw and participating in it fully would be foolish and detrimental to wvw. ANET NEEDS TO BE IN WVW TO SEE THINGS AND FIX THEM ! =)

PLease do this please

I noticed h.o.t. is on sale, but only 2 of the 3 editions, can you make a 3rd edition with gems and something else? because I like the best ones.

Repairing your client, deleting temp files, deleting cookies, defragmenting, back logging, deleting junk files etc etc Helped my game run more smooth. Also changing graphics settings. If they’re on high, change them to medium. Also the 32 bit and 64 bit thing may cause lag. If you have a 64 bit computer and don’t have the 64 bit client yet.

Not everyone is at 100% for wvw. Some people like newer ones or pvers’s are only able to kill sentries or flip camps. If you make camps harder, they may leave wvw or not stick around long enough to learn how to do it. Plus some roamers do stuff solo because no one is around or they are doing other stuff.

ANET PLease increase the drop rate from Coral please!!

What if someone made a cannon and the keep had the siege buff on it where it is hard to kill. Throw in shield generator and repair hammers and this just became a stalemate =(

DEAR GOD!!! Not this stuff again. Please fix currents bugs and lag issues before adding more stuff to the game that may bug or cause issues or be exploited =( There is adding things to help and then there is adding things that go to far. Repair hammers and cannons =( I feel like this is just going to turn into siege wars/blob fests further. It feels like the opposite of help in wvw.

The release of the desert borderlands with all it’s issues made me very upset for a long time. Now the repair hammer things is freaking me out and so if watching lower servers crumble =(

Fa warchest isn’t closed, we are working on ocx and sea guilds =))

The reason Tier 2 is the best option is because tier 1 is too blobby/toxic and then when you look at tier 4 those people get moved around A LOT, and in tier 3 less fights and people to face. Tier 2 is a more healthy stable fun place to be. It is a place a guild can come and flourish. Since Fort Aspenwood was set to high for population that is only 300 gold in gems to go there. So now is the best time to move, it is open, and it has space and the price is great to move. Normally all these factors aren’t all in play. FA is a nice community, the people are fun, we have great commanders, militia can hold their own. I’ve been on FA for 3 yrs and it has a lot of heart. Everyone is really nice, the commanders fun and competent, guilds who are here are like family/friends. It’s nice to relax and chill in wvw. We on FA come to wvw to have actual fun as the main goal. Fort Aspenwood is a great place for a guild to come to to settle down. If a guild is from t4 and you come then you won’t be moved around against your will, if you’re from t3 you can see more action. Some guilds that came to fa just recently have commented how they like how nice everyone is, how we work together, and that they see action.

:) Best gemstore idea ever! The sales would be through the roof and may revitalize wvw big time.

No, Team chat is wvw intel, map chat is general stuff/

http://dulfy.net/2016/06/17/gw2-legendary-armor-collection-crafting-guide/
The legendary armor recipe is out, but there is still a 3 major concerns.

Once we get the legendary armor, how can the runes be changed out? Is there going to be a permanent rune extractor? Also Will the armors only each have an option for light, med, and heavy?If so that’s isn’t right or fair because it takes a crap ton of gold, items, grinding, and work to make 1 set and is expensive so can the set somehow be use-able on all classes please???
Does anyone know anything about this and have any answer?

Your FPS can affect this, on my old computer people wouldn’t appear all the way and very quickly. With my faster internet and my newer computer things appear nicely.

What if there was a option where you could queue up with 15-25 people and face someone from ANY server with another group of 15-25, in a special smaller map for a grudge match? You could scrim and hone your skills. You could either just purely fight or try to get a task done before the other team. Or what if they made an option for just fun where it was something similar to wvw from gw1? ( a reason I didn’t mention obsidian sanctum is because you can face people from every server, people can’t interfere, and a queued up option controls the amount of people and interference and also a special smaller map with other options would be more fun)

I read it and it has many valid points. I’ve done wvw pretty much every day for the last few years. When the new wvw maps came out with the h.o.t release, many of us wvw players were unhappy. We were given a much bigger map, awful terrain, and it was just a big pain. The laser event lagged, classes we more unbalanced and no one wanted on the new maps. BUT Anet making some changes recently to wvw did help some. They added wvw tracks, slightly balanced some stuff and gave us back old maps. Anet seems to be trying so that’s a good thing.

( I just wished the top 6 servers weren’t “full” because in t1 BG is way too overpopulated, TC has almost as many players as BG but not quite and YB is barely hanging on and have lost people. in T2 JQ has a crap ton of SEA population but nothing else really. DB about as much people as JQ and FA still seems to be missing some people even though it says its “full” a few days back FA wasn’t full and some people were going to come here but now it’s locked. )

I don’t know how they are deciding the population, but the people in 3rd in t1 and t2 seem to not have as many people as the other servers.

I am glad that anet started to care about wvw, and they can’t make everyone happy and fix everything, but i’m glad they have been trying. Balancing some things could help, and tweaking the population a bit. Also better reward tracks with more siege from them, foods, and stones. Also random nice weapon or armor exotic drops. =)

Another thing would be to add an additional wvw option where you can queue up with 15-25 people and face another group for 20 mins for a grudge match on any server. It’d be a lot of fun =)

(So there are the 4 main wvw maps and eotm. ) I wondered if there can be 1 more new kind of a map that is like a wvw lobby as an option. One where groups of 15-25 people can queue with another guild of roughly 15-25 to engage in 5-10 minute fights to win pts towards their wvw score, exp toward wvw tracks and etc. It’d be fresh, new and fun. Also wvw score boards for a guild and having stats for most kills in a week for a guild, most caps, most saves, etc. It’d bring real fights into wvw. It’d be so fun to engage another group. It make guild wars live up to it’s name. Also to be able to face wvw guilds on any server would be nice.

When I had this problem I would push refresh, close and reopen the window , push refresh again. If it still acted up I just restarted the computer and the last thing I did was repair the client. https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28148006-Repairing-the-Game-Client Also things that can help is defragmenting your computer, deleting browser history, delete temp files, do a disk clean up so your computer has more space and is running smoother. Also the 32 and 64 bit client thingcould be an issue. If you have a 32 bit computer and are trying to use the 64 bit client OR if you have a 64 bit computer and still use the old 32 bit client.

There is a bay bug I have heard about from a few different servers. I don’t know how it worked except enemies were able to use a waypoint on bay that was not theirs. This has cost people their bay a few times on a few servers.

Some people use their tomes of knowledge for helping people’s guild halls, other people use them for the spirit shards they give. Maybe anet can make a thing where you can trade/turn in tomes of knowledge in for something else?

I think as long as tactics are on public anyone can put their own guild tactics on a structure.

What if there were achievements or rewards each week for each server who does most kills, does most saves on keeps,holds an objective the longest, etc?

I would like tracks that give Superior siege, Guild siege, superior sharpening stones. Also can the boxes it give be more stackable? When you get like 20 kinds of loot boxes that don’t stack because they are different kinds in the track, it makes things not cool when your bags are full and you have a big fight. So maybe have a wvw loot box as a box instead of skelk loot box, hlyek loot box, etc.

Repairing client may possibly help if it is a issue with the transition to the 64 bit client, the patch said something about the 64 bit client.

Okay so today we had the main patch. Then in wvw everyone on map dc’d 5 times and each time all gates and walls looked like they were 100% but they weren’t each wall and gate on inner and outer took 6 supply each to repair. Also our tactics and siege disappeared. THEN we had another patch that kicked us out of the game, I came back and we all had to repair every wall and gate again the 6 supply each. I want to know if the dc’ing is over, if the patches are over, and if I can reput some siege and tactics up please. I don’t want to redo the siege building and tactics again if we are going to have another patch that wipes them out again. This was already a costly day for me coin wise. So Is this fixed yet and can I build things siege wise and re-put tactics on stuff, OR is there more anet patches and more dcing that would rewipe it out? These bugs after the patch have not been pleasant.

The last patch made my tactics disappear on my keeps, my siege is gone, and after the last patch every gate and wall looked like it was at 100% but each outer and inner wall took 6 supply to repair it. =/

After the patch there is a bug where every keep wall and gate looks like it is 100% but if you push repair it takes 6 supply. We had to re-repair things 5-6 times. Also some tactics and siege disappeared. And after the last patch our repaired were rolled back and we had to re -repair again.

There is a few bugs right now as of the patch, every wall and gate looks like it is 100% but when you click repair each one takes 6 supply. Also with each dc it rolled back repairs. Also oddly some tactics and some siege disappeared. But with each dc repairs need redone. There was a new build that kicked us out and then we had to re-repair everything a 5th time.

Yes.. move them to the guild halls!

Of course! Lock more kitten behind HoT. Maybe it will sell better.

You can access guild halls without HoT.

Well, if you don’t belong to a guild with a guild hall, then use a capital city.. not locked behind HoT at all.

AFK/crafting on BL’s is hell with full queues and zone blobs.. those 15 people sitting there make a difference. Bank access could remain, ofc. We also now have the WvW Provisioner Item for cheap emergency food, or TP.

And yes, PVE people do use wvw crafting to avoid wp costs. No doubt about it.

I can’t think of any good reason to keep crafting stations in wvw.

Thank you , =) yes

Now that there is queues sometimes in wvw can we please move the crafting stations to edge of the mists instead or the pvp lobby? When you have big fights going on and your back up is stuck in a big queue and you see 20 people at crafting stations this isn’t cool =(
( Especially on reset night ) No offense but crafting stations shouldn’t be in wvw or if it is it should be in EOTM where it won’t count towards server population numbers on the map.

(Oh also there still is a thing called shield generators people in the towers can use), but seriously the trebuchets are not a bug or exploit and are counterable and destroyable. This is not an issue and the wvw team has better things to work on.

The trebuchets you are talking about that you can make outside of the spawns are actually counterable and can be destroyed if you know what you are doing siege wise for placements. It’s fine the way it is. Plus people on their home borderland should be able to get back their stuff when it comes to the North towers or Garrison. Usually they have to use trebs as a last resort when they can’t do anything else to get it back. Usually when the opposing side outnumbers them a crap ton or they sieged up the towers and garrison like crazy. ALSO even if you can treb down the wall, you still have to go in there and fight tooth and nail to get back your stuff. If it is garrison then you still have to go in there and take down the inner too with different siege. If this were changed it’d hurt the game and and reduce people’s tactical options. The trebs people can make are just fine. Also think about this if a blob has taken a garrison and sieged it up so you can even step anywhere close to it that’s not cool when they outnumber you a lot and are acting like bullies, being able to make a treb whether outside of a spawn or in a tower is part of the game changing that would not be smart at all.

When you are in lion’s arch at lion’s court trying to talk to cassi the daily particpation person, it is bugged and won’t let you. They do activities like keg brawl, crab toss, sanctum sprint, southsun survival. None of the acitivities are able to be accessed and even the flag for over their head is missing so no one can do this daily today =(

Please please please a few more commander tag colors please!~

http://dulfy.net/2016/04/19/gw2-april-19-game-update-patch-notes/

Thank you Anet for fixing stuff. =) Your patch notes are really awesome and everything looks good and is very promising. This is a big help to the game and we can now be happy again yay!

While people wait for their queues to pop in the PvP lobby, there is not much to do to pass the time. It’d make things nicer and more bearable of a wait if something was added to the lobby to help pass the time and to help people relax. Like… I don’t know.. maybe a fountain with some jumping pads on it and water that changes colors, and makes musical notes, something, anything. All that standing around isn’t so fun when you can’t go anywhere or do anything until your queue pops. Then people wouldn’t rage in map chat. It’d help people to relax is they had something to do.

PLEASE LET US USE OUR MAGIC CARPET from the gem store as a glider =)) that’d be amazing!! =))

I wondered what the PvP community thinks about if the elite specs were kept out pvp. Would it make the gameplay better?

No one is playing dungeons right now because the rewards were changed. =( Dungeons were “nerfed” and now give so little coin that being in a dungeon isn’t worth it. Dungeons before could get you at least a gold and now it isn’t worth it to almost anyone for the time you put into it/effort. IF anet brings back the previous rewards we used to get from dungeons, then everyone will start playing this part of the game again and it will prevent people from leaving the game or staying upset about this part of the game. Please help us out anet please.

=/ What I posted got refracted ,so hope they fix wvw. I just want a more fun and fair wvw. Like balanced servers, better way of scoring, better rewards, no laser event, small and more flat borderlands, ( friend’s idea >) leadership boards for servers like most kills, most caps, most defends etc. If outnumbered happens, better buffs for players and bosses. Death traps useable if outnumbered. ( Friend’s idea > Bounty hunting in wvw) Random objectives every 5 minutes that give enhanced rewards, smaller desert borderlands, just take out the middle part. Bring back the old bl’s for 1 week. Maybe have caps count as less if like no one is on a map to stop karma training? Just a lot needs done to make wvw fun, exciting, fresh, where you can go there and have fun fighting, instead of mindlessly trying to cap stuff to be ahead on points, that ruins the wvw spirit, especially when no one is online for the other server, if you go in a take empty structures that isn’t cool =/ Let’s just go back to fun relaxed fights =)) with skill and creativity. Do also fix siege capping, nerf siege generators a bit.

BEST wvw forum post ever!!

Scoring

It all boils down to problem with scoring. Trying to fix WvW without proper changes to score calculations is like picking a proper lipstick color for dead horse. It can make it prettier but its still dead horse.

The passive tick has been really bad idea from the beginning. It will work if your game can assure there are lots of players in WvW around 24 hours for each server. Which is not the case. Most servers atm have enough players for 4-6 hours. The scoring has to reflect this.

Current scoring system rewards actively avoiding any contact with enemy players. It is better to change map then fight an enemy. It is better to play when no enemy is online. These have to be changed.

Population balance

This is closely related to the scoring problem. Players flock into bigger servers because more players will win against less players. They will continue to do so unless scoring will be changed to reward less populated servers and punish running around in zerg taking empty objectives without never fighting enemy players.

The WvW was losing players even before HoT because matches were won or lost based on the number of players. There is number of ways population can be spread evenly but this needs to be done or there wont be any WvW to fix.

Skill balance

There is a lot of threads about stability and most of them are wrong. Nothing wrong about current stability itself.

Of course there is a lot wrong with current skill balance. HoT added too many too strong skills. Too many skills now have extra CC or apply conditions. Its currently a big mess and some builds remain way too strong.

I understand how complicated the problem of skill balance is and will be in the future whenever more elites or new classes are added. I also understand most classes are designed for PvE (either solo or small group fights) and so large group fights in WvW can easily break anything that works fine elsewhere.

I would be fine if WvW would only allow few pieces of PvP gear or only small selection of PvE skills or no conditions at all. Clearly it is impossible task to consider how every possible item and skill combination available in PvE will work in large scale WvW combat. Then don’t do that, pick just selection of stuff that works for WvW and disable the rest.

Fix or revert DBL

Such a waste of time and energy. First fix the scoring. And population. And skills. Then, after these changes look at the maps and consider what to do with them.

People whining about desert maps and demanding old maps back are really just saying they want more players to WvW. They remember days when WvW had more action and just because it happened to be on old maps they assume changing maps back will magically fill WvW with players again.

Most of them will shut up when they have enemy to fight. Does not matter which map it is.

Basically there is a bug where a waypoint stays open even when it contests and for sure there is no emergency waypoint activated. You can see the tactics on a keep, and when a keep without emergency waypoint, contests and people can keep waypointing in, that is for sure a bug. I have seen it on enemy keeps and it has happened on our keeps sometimes too. There is for sure a waypoint bug.

If you buy a guild golem using guild commendations, it takes your guild commendation but doesn’t give you a guild golem XD this is broke pls fix it. =( now I have nothing from it

When I said the thing about 5 people holding off 25 people, I was talking when I am one of the 5 people in a keep holding off 25 people easily with the automatically there sort of siege on keeps.

Sydney your post is awesome I agree 100%

Since the expansion A LOT of things are very broke and messed up in WvW.
Ask any wvw player and they will tell you.
1) new maps way too big and the paths aren’t as distinctive from 1 place to another
2) +5 for supply either is not available or too far away for guild upgrades.
3) no waypoints on the east and west 2 keeps on the home borderland except for the enemies
4) Guild catapults used to be 25 supply and now they take like 50 supply to build and they aren’t supposed to take that much supply and are the same as a superior catapult incorrectly.
5) some tower walls are bugged like they flicker or can’t be damaged when they say they can .
6) A middle keep on new borderlands has a enemy tengu appear in it causing bugs and false swords
7)Shield generators can be severely misused, in the sense that if u put up 2 of them u can 100% prevent someone from even making a ram
8)auto upgrades sort of ridiculous really, doesn’t give u a reason to protect something or work towards it
9)laser event was cool at 1st , but sort of ridiculous
10) all the automatic siege on keeps is overkill , 5 people can hold off 25 with keep siege that is on the new borderlands
11) barriers are super dumb
12)dragon hunters too overpowered, all classes attacking a boss and the dragon hunter pops all his traps and they do a crap ton of damage and other classes way way weaker.
13) New Maps are so broken it’s depressing many wvw players and making them hate wvw maps and they all stay on EBG since the new maps have hurt our wvw way of life.
14) a tower in ebg has false swords when some ascalon ghosts get in a fight iwht the tower guards
15 ) ANET PLEASE LET US HAVE BACK OUR OLD MAPS& JUST REDECORATE THEM IF YOU WANT ,BUT WHAT YOU DID WITH MAKING NEW MAPS TRULY TRULY HAVE RUINED WVW FOR EVERYONE. LET US VOTE OR SOMETHING GIVE US THE OLD MAPS BACK OR AT THE VERY LEAST MAKE THE MAPS SMALLER AND FIX SOME STUFF I LISTED PLEASE PLEASE I"M BEGGING YOU! Over 100 people I know don’t want to go on the new borderlands and they despise the wvw changes. All the changes we too much at once and hurt many of the wvw intricacies to it.
