Guild Wars 2

I think a lot of these ideas would be great to implement. Heres a bump for ya

Thank you for the update and time frame.

Why do we have to suffer when a patch kicks off?

Tequatle patch = WvW lagged 1 day before the patch till 1 day after the patch.
Last WvW patch = you didn’t test the ram mastery properly so Iron Hide was abusable for a whole night.
Big Twilight (PvE) and minor WvW patch = WvW matchups are messed up completely and is still under maintenance. How’s that possible?

I feel like you are taking all the capacity/recources from the servers and from the WvW team to put it all into the PvE content.
What do we have to expect next time when you implement the next big balance patch? (when will it be btw? maybe im uninformed but I expected it today)

Why can’t you (for at least one time) ensure a professional made patch carried out with the minimum of inconvenience. I would be glad about hat.

Balance patch I believe is Oct. 15th.

I would like to update you on the current issue with WvW.

We have identified what is causing the problem and are currently working to resolve it.

Once we will reactivate WvW, the matchups that started last Friday will continue with the correct score.

Please note that all objectives will be reset to their starting state, and all siege weapons that were deployed will be gone.

I currently do not have an ETA for when WvW will be reactivated, but we will let you know immediately once it is up and running again.

Once again – apologies for any inconvenience caused.

does this mean everything will be back to paper status? Keeps,etc..?

Yes everything but the score will be like a reset from what I understand.

that would only be 22 servers, So I’m assuming it would be
Gold 6 Servers
Silver 9 Servers
Bronze 9 Servers

Correct me if I’m wrong, but thank you, didn’t even think about it.

Unsure how 3 leagues on a server size of 24 is going to work with a matchup of 3. So could someone explain how 8/3 will work? Thanks

I would love to see the WvW be split from PvE. That way you have the people who really want to be a part of WvW participate more so than just karma farmers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure that Karma farmers will come and join in, but the matches will be more evenly spread. Populations would be combined, and probably less overall servers for WvW.

Interesting idea, but then you will have half a server vote for one matchup, then the other half of the server for another. What you then get is a server that is divided within itself and that can cause problems of its own. I know that some players that did not win the vote would try and tank the matchup just because they did not get the one they want.

they need to take my advice and break the link between your PvE server and your WvW server. In fact rename all the WvW servers to totally different names than PvE uses.

Then at the start of every season wipe the slate clean and force every player to pick the server they want for that season. Pick the same one or not, up to you. Make a new group of friends every 7 weeks. Get to go up with and against all the guilds across GW2.

You want “variety” Anet? there ya go

This is a very interesting idea. I think that splitting WvW from PvE could really make a huge difference in populations. Anet could basically make less worlds, becuase obviously there are less people in WvW than PvE. Each world would have a higher population and better battles over all.

With that being said, I think it should be implemented in the same way it is now with only one server. Once you pick you server. You stay there or transfer from gems (Or just locked in) I don’t like the idea of people being forced to repick servers each season only due to the fact that the people who would like to play with each other every season may not be able to due to the fact that the server could possibly fill and be forced to chose another.

Hello BP. Heard about this post and figured I would come and give a little information about Svrn.

First off I am Florencia Rosa. Sovereign Union is currently a smaller sized guild focused on more of a havok standpoint in WvW. We also do PvE if you’re into that as well. We welcome all levels of players whether you just started playing yesterday or you have played since day -3. If you should be interested in joining just shoot me a message in game or if your a leader of another guild that would like to get in touch you know where to find me.

Keep up the good work BP.

Sincerely,
-Florencia

Just a small idea, I think it would an good option to have the ability to be able to pin points on the map with a flag or whatever for your own personal benefit. They could act as markers for Ore spawns or event locations that you know of. Would come in handy. They would only show up on your own map
