Guild Wars 2

Rayya.2591:

i disagree with you OP.
an player who play for fun , will not be dedicated to his team ,he will not sit at an treb for 20 minutes hitting same wall, he will not run 4 times from supply camp to keep to repair. he will run arround random and aim for another random frag. if he get it he laugh, if he lose he cry. If 70% of your server will play like this you will lose, you will go down few tiers and in the end you will give up.
Play to win guys

Some people may play like that… but it is not like that for all those that play for fun… I will say for myself… I play for fun but it does not mean I do not care for tactics and for winning… more than once I upgraded a tower and ketp accelerating Yaks alone just to help my server to have a safer place in enemy borderlands… I have followed many good commanders that play to win… the difference is that I dont care about the reward, I play to win and to help my server, but I do it for fun… I do not do that expecting to receive a reward.

I say that because many people looks like they only have fun if they can get something that will give than an edge if they win… thats the difference and thats what I think OP is talking about.

Oh please he won a 1 v 7 fight… give him some respect.

Same to me, I have a Guardian and a Necro, I can get much more badged with Necro mainly on zerg vs zerg fights… lots of area damage effects. But I can get a good share of it with my Guardian too, and I play full support with him.

O.o

Pros are going to be Pros! Oh you kittening Noobies!

They just need to make this item unavailable on WvW… just that… the guy that used gear to stun lock on the video was just pathetic…

Ele mist form is differente because when it is finished the Ele is on downed state again… the warrior is dead when Revenge ends, but I really never paid attention to the fact that Warriors on Revenge never give loot or experience.

I agree with the OP… WvW the way it is now focus on having fun… rewards are cool but when they make a difference to win fights they become chains and you play only to get more rewards or you will not be competitive… fun is over… at least for me.

There are issues to be fixed, and stuff to be improved but right now I have a lot of fun on WvW.

I also think it is because of conditions stack… mainly when you are attacking a camp in WvW and the mob have that boon… only conditions really do a great harm to him so it is easy for us to get aggro… I get it all the time and that kittening hammer the mob uses hits like a truck.

Burst is more effective and much more simple to use… I see thieves killing people just hitting Heart Seeker like a boss (two two two like a boss).

But condition is not that bad, just harder to use. You have to be more tactical.

In resume with Burst you will probably kill more people and faster, but it all depends on playstyle.

Maybe I was unlucky or did something wrong as I rarely use minions… but tried it out yesterday and sometimes they just stared at me while mobs kicked my kitten #8230; so I cam back to my old condition build… I will try a pure power build soon.

sPvP is a content apart from WvW and PvE and should stay like that… and also most of sPvP people consider WvW to be just another PvE content… so usually they dont care about it… I may be wrong but most people I know that focus on sPvP thinks like that.

I dont think they need to change anything about gear in WvW, I am fine with that and dont think it is a great issue to balance, it is so easy to get gear in this game…

What I think is that WvW focused people should be able to get more types of gear with the badges, including ascended ones.

I will speak for Santcum of Rall server… there are many strong guilds here, the ones I consider “more powerfull” in order are:

Choo
FEAR
WvW
LUN

I do not care about PvE or map completion, I am focused on WvW, and I agree with the OP WvW should not count to map completion, sometimes the carebears take the place of people that want to PvP on the map, and all they do in chat is to cry about the tower or keep they need to map completion… you know when you are in the middle of a fight do defend or take something important and people comes on the chat “I need Anz to complete my map can anyone get it pls”… that sucks.

ANet please take PvE stuff out of WvW!!!! PvE people do not enjoy it and WvW people do not care about it!!!! Take the JP too… make it a separate place from WvW.

I agree it should have better rewards, but it should be limited to gold, or pride rewards like titles, skins… I really expect that they dont give rewards that gives you an edge in combat.

I also think AoE should heve no limit, for damage or heal. They are area effects so if you are in the area deal with it… and yes avoiding AoEs on this game is very easy unless you have no room to dodge or in the middle of a zerg.

The idea of decreasing the effect if you are far from the center is very good.

Korgov.7645:

Stop worrying. Enjoy the game.

Best answer possible.

If ANet begins to give rewards that give a player an edge on PvP just because he has more time to play than others. than this will be end game for me… what made me play this game is the fact that you dont need to play hours and hours a day to be competitive because gear is easy to get and is the same for everyone.

This game is focused on skill and fun, they must be very carefull when changing the reward system, I really hope it will not change the balance of the game (balance for gear).

I made a Charr black furr and long horns, he looks like a demon… I like it

But yes… skins for light armor sucks on Charr.

Loved the videos! I could learn some good tactics. Thanks.

If you can’t identify with the play style of WvW enough to enjoy it for its own sake go find something else that works for you … but don’t pretend that any of it is more fundamentally meaningful. It isn’t.

Yes. This.

This is it.

I really dont care about ascended gear right now… but they really have to give us something better to do with our badges… at least we could get different stats gear and not only Pow/Vit/Tou stuff… and better skin too… maybe the same skins from instances.

They have to review the ranking calculation, this is a fact. Servers that are overpopulated and are blowing the enemy should go up faster I agree this would create more balance for servers with fewer WvW population.

But reseting now doesnt make any sense… now that transfers are not free anymore it is a matter of few weeks to each server get to his right tier.

Somos uma guilda nova e pequena e estamos recrutando jogadores com o seguinte perfil: pessoas maduras que gostem de jogar por diversão, fazemos PvE, instancias, PvP, e WvW, mas tudo sem compromisso, estilo jogar e bater papo ao mesmo tempo.

Usamos TS, e a ideia é manter a guilda pequena mesmo, queremos um grupo entrosado e que se divirta jogando junto, não pretendemos ser hardcore em nenhum momento.

Se interessar estamos no Sanctum of Rall, me mande um pm quando estiver logado. Obrigado.

This message is looking for BR players that want to play for fun, we enjoy all aspects of the game, PvE, dungeons, PvP and WvW, and we plan to keep a small guild for mature people that enjoy to play together and talk.

Come on guys… lets forget about the past. We had a very interesting begining, I am from EB and must say Maguuma is putting a good fight out there, it is sad that ET have no strength now, really dont know what happened to then.

This is Turig Wolfsbane… armor is not this anymore but I like the picture.

Epic battles yesterday at ET borderland, we could take the keep with the orb after almost three hours of fight to keep Redlake and supply camps and later take the keep. CD is loosing on the points but doing great when people are focused.

Please dont go to WvW to farm and take the place of someone that wants to PvP… you can farm enough gold on the high level maps. Try to gather everything you can, some woods and orichalcum sells like water and for good prices (considering you dont need then and are not crafting).

The tomes are good for PvE, I cant see they working in PvP unless you have a coordinated group to protect you… maybe it is just me.

I am norn and the racial elite skills are useless for PvP too… so I have no other choice but Renewal Focus… at first I hated it, but now I like it. I agree it is not a great skill comparing to other classes skills, but it have saved my life many times. You just have to get used ot its stupid cast time…. they could at least allow me to walk while casting.

Changing races should not be possible, but it would cool to change character body shape, hair and so on.

I used to get much more badges before, they probably nerfed it. I have now about 900-1000 kills and only 200-250 badges. Never did these jumping puzzles chests… doesnt even know where they are.

Great news! I am from a small guild, I can probably bring just a full party but we are eager to help in anyway we can.

I like this idea, and makes sense.

Same in Darkhaven… 10 or 15 minutes during prime time.

I support this idea!

So if a server have 100 PvPers and the other server has only 5… only 10 people would be able to enter WvW!? Sorry I dont think it would be good.

I use your own words, if your server does not have enough people that PvP just transfer.

Limits are needed, but one server may not pay the price of other server having few PvPers.

6v6 would be a good size… more than that is a complete mess.

LOL I play an OP class!!!! Guardian!!! First time I choose an OP class and did not even imagine it.

Focus one target at a time… if your team of 5 focus on one Guardian he will have no chance, even with the others trying to save him, once the first is dead go to a second target.

Agreed. We need bigger parties for guilds.

Stiv.1820:

Hah not Elyos mentality but DAOC mentality. There was real persistent 3 realm PvP. No limits other than the server crashing from too many people in one place and it was amazing.

Never played DAOC… it would be cool not having queues… but I cant imagine how would they balance it… Insance PvP for sure… yeah it could be cool to have a place for this… but keeping the other controlled areas as well so people could choose… massive insane PvP or regular PvP.

Zanko.9801:

Sorry, I’ll define better PvP from my PoV.

While the definition of PvP is realted to the possibility of engaging combat with other players, it’s not really PvP if it’s not at least a bit balanced. This comes probably from my long story in WoW as an arena player, far away from being balanced but still a lot more balanced than any PvP aspect of the game actually.

For sure I can call “PvP” ganking a low lvl player 10v1, but if a game gives only this kind of PvP, I wouldn’t dare to say that that particular game has a PvP ascpet inside it.

Stated this, I find WvW not enough balanced to be called PvP, or at least Competitive PvP. Maybe it’s my fault, but when a game company says it want to balance something with a matchmaking system I always think of something “balanced”. But WvW isn’t, so I find myself pretty disappointed because WvW is not what I expected, a PvP Balanced aspect of the game.

And yes, maybe I’m a bit of the cause of my server losing, but I’m not really interested in a match I can’t win if I don’t go around search for some guild that plays in different hours. Tell me really if you think that searching for guilds to play at nighttime is “PvP”. No it’s not, it’s some social interaction, not a “game” (as a classic definition) at all.

You really expected Anet to balance the WvW in less than a month? Sorry dude that doesnt work like that, they cant control the community… unfortunally too many people just give up when their server is loosing they dont even try, people from dominating servers like to zerg the spawn area of the loosing server…. people from all over the world play at different time zones, many players abuse of transfers to move to the winning side, many players dont care about the server only about thenselves and dont give a kitten to organization… all these variables are not controlled by Anet.

Many problems of WvW PvP style are caused by the players… I am not Anet defender but as far as I could see they have a good plan for balance… but it needs more time. If in the next two months nothing changes so I can complain together with you.

Just give the Scepter a little bit more damage, the first skill must be faster it is too easy to dogde… just that. Staff if for support I would let it the way it is now.

TheFreshBrew.1958:

@Sir William – did you miss the part where they were camping the side exits too? I know a lot of you wanna pretend there’s a way to turn around the score while living in some fantasy land where whats happening isn’t happening, but there isn’t. No amount of rallying the troops is going to offset how broken this match is.

If you wanna go be a hero and waste your time and money in a futile effort to regain one or two nodes before tonights night-capping, good luck with that, I wish you well.

for the record, I play, MAINLY because of wvwvw, because when its not broken its fun – but the last 4 days have been anything but fun, and if not fixed soon, might even turn into a deal breaker for a lot of people.

I am sorry to hear this… if you only mind about winning the match, if you only have fun when you have the edge… yes the current situation sucks and there is no fun. You should transfer to a winning server if it makes you happy.

But for the people that focus more on the fun of the battle and the challenge to fight against a more powerfull enemy… the situation is bad but not enough to give up.

Yesterday I just moved from Eternal Battleground to Darkhaven Borderland and that was great… I had 3 hours of competitive PvP and we could retake most of our forts… ok they probably night capped everything again… but who cares!? You dont need a huge army to get it back…. and what are you going to do if the enemy dont get your forts? I imagine Yaks are now bored to death with complete domination.

Again for those that only care about winning the match I agree… one week like this sucks… I am not saying you are wrong this is your opinion, not my business, I am just saying this because you considered those that are trying to be in “fantasy land”… respect the playstyle of others.

I think that together with Server points rank we could see a Server population rank…

If people keep to tranfers to the winning server all the time we will never meet balance. There should limit the transfer only to servers with less population.

mcl.9240:

My idea: Give the matchmaking system enough time (several months) to stabilize the match-ups before people run around demanding changes to WvWvW.

^ +1

If you do not know how to play a Guardian in WvW and cant see how… well just go play other profession.

Guardians are great in WvW you just need to find a build that works for your style.

Hope they will not do that… I know queue sucks but if they dont control the numbers the WvW will turn into a complete mess. Looks like Elyos mentality… lol… nice to see you here too Angryranger.

I knew I would find you one day here on the forums… I played as Asmodian on Israphel as well… we did one or two Dredgions together but you will not remember me… my nick was Yamahashi (Chanter from Demon Jokers).

What server are you? Devoted Legacy came to GW2? Vortis (BR Gladiator from DL) is playing with us in Darkhaven.

Never see this before. I could see a ranger disapearing from some seconds more than once in the same fight, but he always appeared again nearby me… I do not know the class havent played it so I do not know how is this possible.

I support this idea makes much more sense than the current one.
