Guild Wars 2

Anet?

Are you out there?

Your website is being attacked.

Also use the in-game /report feature and select ‘botting’.

In game reports do nothing – we did this for weeks and not one castle nor anet employee did a thing until it was posted here and to youtube.

In game reporting is a joke – a bad, nasty, mean, joke.

We are supposed to use the forums – according to many emails I have – and now you and others change the rules that WE are being told to utilize?

Wrong answer.

msalakka.4653:

I caught a few hackers on video, and reported them using the in-game tool. They just came back the next match, nothing happened to them, so I posted a video too, identifying them; I thought it might help find and punish them. The post was deleted and I got an infraction.

That’s when I realised that it all must have been a big misunderstanding. There are no hackers in this game. Why waste time on negativity and harboring black thoughts when we could be checking out the latest great promotions at the gem store? There’s a new Mini Beetle that you can have follow you around for just 500 gems.

Is this okay? Can I post this?

I agree with every single word and the intent of your posting.

Wait until you have the person who just griefed me and tells us all to post in the “Bug” forum which almost never gets an answer due to the fact that all of the issues scroll out far too fast.

I don’t think you know what griefing means.

I simply told linked you to the correct forum to post your thread. Simple as that. The only thing that will happen with you posting it here will be that a moderator will move it to the bug forums, so it is simply a waste of time for everyone involved.

Following me around the forums and naysaying anything I do is a bit strange to say the least.

I’ve never seen so many who have absolutely no server pride.

lordkrall.7241:

And yet it is the place where it is most likely to be seen by the right people.

Fact remains that this is a thread that is supposed to be over there rather than over here.

Arguing with me isn’t going to fix any of the problems in WvW – and if the powers that be can’t check both forums – where we’ve been told to put these issue, not specifically in the darn bug forum (I have numerous emails, not one of them says not to post any type of issue in the named forum i.e WvW).

Stop griefing me.

ChoChoBo.6503:

Just report it in game when you see it via /bug

This will record the exploit as the game sees it so the devs have a better sense of what’s happening.

FYI, since the camera angle changes there are new places that you can blink to with mesmers if you have far reaching manipulations on. Mesmers can blink right into some towers and port entire groups in. I’ve reported plenty of times, but you can go and try it out for yourself.

In-game reporting?

What a horrid joke to play on us all.

I’ve been told to post them, not email them, and I’ve even been told NOT to put in a ticket – the game is suffering and Anet is oblivious.

Wait until you have the person who just griefed me and tells us all to post in the “Bug” forum which almost never gets an answer due to the fact that all of the issues scroll out far too fast.

Here is the correct forum part for reporting bugs:

Every single time I have put bugs in there they are buried in minutes and never answered.

Isn’t it cheating or considered trolling to double team a server?

No, but it’s effective.
Sometimes one really thinks the others are double teaming when the truth is that your side is just weaker/easier at the moment. Sometimes, I think they are picking us because we’re more interesting and 3 weeks ago I was sure the other two servers had a treaty “you can cap everything from us but not our keeps and we won’t attack any of your towers, but help us to get second”. Well, thanks a lot! And it worked, we ranked down because that server did it 2 weeks in a row.

It’s also skill-less and demoralizing to all – when you’ve taken everything, you don’t get a thing; little loot, almost no WXP and the “win” feels empty.

A good week’s battle between three was supposed to be an even fight – WvW has been anything but a fair and even fight.

Natto.5819:

Wolfey.3407:

Ignoring server names, you can make the same argument with any Sports Team irl.

Why do people hate on the New England Patriots?
Why do people double up on Brady?

Why do people hate on the Tampa Bay Lightning?
Why do people double on Stamkos or Bishop?

Comes down to a primitive nature within us, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
You don’t like X and I don’t like X so instead of helping X by beating each other, let’s bring X down.

E.g. The NFL Bounty Scandal, We don’t like Favre, the other teams definitely don’t want to face Favre, let’s target Favre and force him to sit out of any games due to injury.

Going back to Guild Wars 2,

The only way you can move up is for someone to go down. If the server above you can not go down with just your own efforts, it would be logical for the enemy of your enemy to assist. It’s not to help you out, it’s to help them selves out as well. When they go down, both you and your enemy of an enemy are able to move up which is the objective.

It’s the price of being Successful in anything, you will have a bulls eye on your back and you need to hold off the competition that wants your spot.

Isn’t it cheating or considered trolling to double team a server?

Hahahaha! Wait…

Hahahahahaaha! No really wait….

Ok… nope… Hahahahahahahahahaha!

If it was ever against the rules, no one ever told several of the larger servers whose numbers are the only reason they ever win.

If any one of the servers had to go against some alone? They’d lose so badly it would be a total embarrassment.

Being outnumbered is bad enough, but when your own camps are hit by enemy veterans the enemy has an opening they would not have had if the program was working *as intended*.

The program is not working as intended in WvW and that’s not the only problem with the only mode of the game that matters for many of us.

Tiger Ashante.1792:

When your health gets low, this big white arrow appears above your heal skill, prompting you to heal yourself. Only lately, the arrow stays even after your health is full, or even after you use the heal skill. I can’t get rid of it other than exit the game.

The problem is, i can’t exit the game normally by using ESC key that brings up the main menu. Every time i hit ESC key, it makes the arrow shoot in the air and won’t allow me to access the main menu.

Pls see attached screenshot which shows what happens when i hit ESC key.

I had the same problem – that arrow covered much of what I was trying to hit too.

Kaiser.9873:

You’re preaching to the choir on this subject. eSports is probably the answer. PvP is, and WvW isn’t according to Anet.

Anet personnel told us to post our questions here and not anywhere else so we need to ask them.

And we are.

If no one wants another season, ignore the post.

I know that we need at least two tournaments per year – but now we aren’t even getting one per year.

Why isn’t WvW getting anywhere near the attention and effort that is being poured into PvE and more pointedly, Spvp?

Spvp is five against five.

WvW is so many more times that it’s insane and is still but the number of players doesn’t matter?

Money? Nah, can’t convince me; the PvP player doesn’t buy anything but the money going into it is insanely disproportionate to what is being spent by WvW players.

Merge low tier servers, A dead server low population is a waste of bandwidth

disband the top 3 servers and let them fill in the other servers.

Good Idea Of The Week

Mine would be more fun though.

It seems that many are right, Anet simply does not care.

We are scolded in email to “report” here to the forums but when we do, nothing happens.

Why in the world are we being told to come here for if nothing is addressed for weeks at a time?

Dabezian.9527:

Every few patches, I always get inexplicable lag that makes the game impossible and completely infuriating to play.

It will say 30-60ms ping in my F11 window but every few seconds there’s just some hidden 2400ms hidden away in that ping because all my skills have 3 seconds delay.

It’s definitely not my internet, my speedtest.net shows <60 ms ping with every server within 250 miles of me and 66 MB/s down.

Please fix your server issues. There are always other players experiencing the same problem.

I am seeing slo-motion in Lion’s Arch when there are few people.

Forget going into a boss fight or WvW when the game is that slow.

WvW was like watching a picture flipping on paper, amazingly slow and jerky.

Strategist.6132:

The idea is that once you accept, you’re going to play no matter what map is chosen. Go do practice mode if you really want your daily, but please remember that unranked is a mode where people work together to win, and not to get their dailies. (It should be a result of!, but not the goal itself:P)

“unranked is a mode where people work together to win”

Not true.

Unranked or Ranked is just as disorganized and solo-act-heavy as “practice”.

Koralovec.9175:

It is sad. Trade Market Window is bugged – sometimes I bought two same items or when I click to quatity box, cursor “accidentally” focus inside price box etc…

BTW if CS responds as you type before, they just copy+paste answer = same like G.T.F.O. we have no time for you – which is pathetic from ANet support but reality.

That is exactly what support here feels like.

I’ve never seen such bad support from any game – not WoW, not SWTOR, and not any game that has any decent following – this one just seems to ignore, or worse, denigrate its own customers.

MrPeder.5836:

I just bought Permanent Bank Access Contract for 715 Gold on TP. In my excitement i double clicked the item in the sell items tab and not my inventory. With my luck the List My Item button was at the same place i double clicked. Therefor i instantly sold it to the highest bidder which was 710 Gold. So when i went to collect my money it was only 1 copper in my Delivery Box, and i saw that i just sold it for 2 copper. Also, the lowest bidder was 24 silver. So how can i get my Gold back?

This is not the first time the game has made a mistake.

It doesn’t matter where or how or when, the game is making mistakes.

So many people are being cheated out of virtual items that should all have alpha-numeric tags like all decent MMOs do.

I had to beg for weeks for help before my-real-world, bought and paid for sickle was returned – and it isn’t the last thing that “went wrong” in my account – the other is still unresolved.

Which of course is down to the balance philosophy of this game, which is basically balance for tPvP at the expense of everything else, which of course has resulted in tremendous “e-sports” success, with the thing last night drawing huge viewing figures of about 850, so less than some kid streaming Runescape from their bedroom…

I LoL’d at that xD It’s funny because is true

+2.

They botched it, big time.

In PvE – they cater to the many.

In Player vs Player – they cater and balance to the few: IE – tPvP.

WvW is just a side note.

They got it backwards: s/tPvP is the side note. WvW has soo much more potential, yet they’re blind.

There are so many who agree with your statement it’s starting to be a bit strange that no one at this company “gets” it.

Come to Yaks Bend around 11pm pst.

Natto.5819:

I’m on Maguuma, and I’m considering transferring to JQ. Fights were fun on my server, but with the new match, it completely changed everything. Night time runs are non-existent now. The SBI server has such a large presence at the time I play, that they own all four maps. I see other Maguuma players trying to fight, and then I see 50 enemy attackers just run over them from the side. Someone said in chat that they call that a K Train.

I researching other servers, I found that JQ has a good size night force that I could enjoy. I was talking to some JQ players on voice chat, they said that TC and BG double team them, so it’s no fun.

My question is why do people hate JQ so much? I don’t know if it’s fair to have two other servers gang up on you.

Double-teaming has been a normal occurrence since the first season of WvW.

That said, JQ was at the top but as with most servers became weary, it takes a lot of work to be “first”, and so they fell – but not far – just out of “first”.

The same can be said about most servers, battle weary, without any universal comms in the game itself and many players “permabanned” in TS, makes for very little progress, and the sameness kills many servers over time.

Exhaustion is normal in season, but now some players have it all the time, it’s an almost palpable feeling that so many are on the verge of burning out or just being so negative they aren’t helping the server.

Then some servers fight against the ever-present and never-punished siege trolls who change the scores with a few hours of depleting all supply from their own side.

There are problems with WvW – and server hatred comes from within and without but the double-teaming isn’t going away until WvW is changed for the better.

I have a long posting about an “easy” fix for WvW, but it’s not gained any traction, so same old, same old, and more burnout.

ShinigamiKiba.6213:

I wasn’t sure where to post this and I’d like the developers to read this if at all possible.
GW2 is an incredible game, I bought it not too long ago and it absolutely blew me away a thow good it is, however I can’t socialize in the game much…because I can’t read the chat with ease.

I’m legally blind and the chat font and font size(even at largest) are simply not enough for me to be able to look at the chat and see what’s written there with ease, I have to make significant eye straining effort in order to read it. I applaud the designers for not making the background fully transparent like the Aion chat, but the font is exceptionally difficult for me to see.

I maxed out the entire UI size and chat font size and it’s still too difficult and eye straining to read.

As an example of good chats I can read with relative ease:
- FF14
- WoW
- TERA

all have good, large enough and CLEAN easy to see chat fonts that when set to their maximum sizes are rather easy for me to see and read.

I really want to keep playing GW2 and I want to interact with people at some point too but at this rate interacting seems like it’s going to be quite difficult for me
Reading character names above their heads is out of the quesiton too, that’s completely ilegible to me but I don’t mind that, i have the same issues in FF14 and such it’s not a problem.

The chat however, I really really need the chat to look just right so I can enjoy the game fully.

Thanks in advance
hope something can be done about this

I am in much the same boat as you are, not legally blind but with “computer eyes” that have been mis-prescribed with the wrong prescription for over 15 years…

The font is hard to see even when maximized – the "large font: means everything else spills out of the program – and that makes it unplayable – font should be its own category in the settings under graphics but somehow it makes everything bigger.

It’s a problem I have asked about before, but two years on we still have no real answer.

Over a year of postings and this is just one of many things in the game that have not been addressed at all.

Humenkind.9587:

As the title says, it ranges from 30-40 frames looking in first-person at the ground to 10-20 looking anywhere else. I check MSI Afterburner and GPU usage shoots up to 100%.

I have:

HD 5770
I5 760 2.8 GHz
4 GB RAM

Not the best setup, I know, but it used to run the game much better. My laptop with an 840m runs the game better. I can still run pretty much every game that it should be able to handle, but this one is just terrible. VSync does nothing, frame limiter does nothing, even resolution changes barely change it.

Can anyone help?

4GB of ram just isn’t enough.

For now, your best bang for the buck will be two things:

memory

ssd hard drive

Go for at least 8GB and I believe you will see a marked increase in your gameplay – zergs are slow motion but at medium settings, with more memory at the very least, you won’t be sitting still and burning up that CPU.

But wait, it hasn’t been.

Nothing was “missing” – I made items but the items that I “made” turned into something else.

Database errors aren’t new but someone here believes that there haven’t been any and can’t be any.

Over a year ago I “lost” my bought and paid for sickle – logged in one day and it was just gone – and I mean gone – the slot was empty.

So, after many emails and proving that I did buy the darn thing, it was replaced, painful but finally right.

I’ve moved four times since I’ve had this account – and it can’t be “compromised” if I don’t KNOW anyone who plays GW2 so who and how would my account be “compromised” since here I am with my account every single day, several hours a day logged in to speak in a forum and haven’t had any other problems besides data *errors_ that these people refuse to acknowledge even seeing that I have two Gifts of Battle but made the Gift of Wood – one of those should have been the Gift of Wood and to this day I have the two Gifts of Battle and zero Gifts of Wood.

Even after they gave me back the wood, they only gave me half of what I “lost” in the making of things that they can’t believe would be made instead of the intended item. They gave me a recipe I had already consumed – and that in itself shows a severe lack of research or care about what is happening in customer’s accounts.

It’s like someone is reading half of the emails and then pretending to comprehend and then sends the wrong items.

But worse than any of this was the accusation that my account, the account of an over 50 woman who knows not a single person who plays this game, no one touches this machine and I am almost completely housebound; has somehow been compromised when I sit here alone day after day, year after year. Not possible and not true.

Add to that I am a computer expert with over 27 years of experience and I am ALSO a Microsoft Certified Security professional and I am highly insulted and hurt after all this I am now going to be accused of having a compromised account.

Nope, it’s not compromised but there are serious issues that are not being addressed – such as the integrity of those who send those emails and why they don’t explain a thing but want to force someone with moderate brain damage to jump through hoops that are not only not necessary, but show that something is very rotten here.

Hard to follow? Yeah, no kidding, try doing this in email with those who won’t answer any questions but demand you do x-y and z before they will “answer” again.

zengara.8301:

We probably all know that there are some servers who are not that good at fighting, though succeeding with the night guilds.
This trend have led alot of servers to buy guilds from NA to transfer into EU and fight at night so they remain high.

I know that simply blocking WvW in night time would be good for a majority of people, but it is too……wrong, the idea of blocking people from gametime because their time zone is incorrect is simply wrong, even though only a minority of people do happen to be in EU and play on another time. Though my servers commander have been on for 17 hours so we can at least have a somewhat decent chance against 2 other servers last week.

My question is……

1

Why dont they just block of borderlands? They are all rather familiar and most would rather join EB

I honestly do see a small problem with closing some borderlands, since the gameplay will be limited to some, which always bothered me in other games……..

2

Or set a point system, so that the points gathered from prime time (“x time” to “x time”) gives more points.

~This would intrigue people with amazing players and commanders to play more, since there is a real chance, not the usual, get on and win almost every fight on the first day at equal numbers be like 4k ahead in points and suddenly lose it all in night time.~
I Do Not see a problem in having a different point system, the player base would not have any form of limitation, this have been one of the major problems in wvw, and seems like it could be fixed with 1 thing……The only persons I see not liking this idea is either the servers who do have night guilds from other regions to fight for them, or people who have spend money on those night guilds…….

Btw, WvW was my Nr. 1 concern at release, they said that you could join 24/7 that got me and alot of critic players thinking that it might cause such an effect, that instead of WvW being fighting for a realm, it is simply all about who got the money to buy the players from NA.

If differentiating the point system at night vs at morning is a problem for some players, please tell me.

Something needs to be done – blocking bls that have few might be a way to go but I’d much rather do something that will be inclusive rather than exclusive.

The lower tiers could (however many it takes) go against the top servers, the mid servers the same, and the normal rotation would stay in the mix for the health of all servers.

I believe balance is possible – but not to the exclusion of choices of where to go when EB isn’t your thing at the time.

cryokro.6270:

2. Commanders with big ego, most of them are ktrain commanders that cant even read map chat.

My husband quit WvW for this reason alone, and stopped playing GW2 all together. After they hounded him to get into TS he got to listen to one command insult and complain about individual players, generally female players. Another who just talked about how “blazed” he was all the time. And third who could mysteriously hit siege that others couldn’t. It’s the major reason I chose a different server, but I’m sure most servers have similar issues.

Banning from TS is becoming the thing to do by very controlling people who believe they own the server – literally.

Mature people who never abuse others, who want a good teamwork experience, are tossed from any area where they have a differing idea.

Then there are the trolls who destroy one’s reputation and speak vile words in TS that people gasp and snicker at in map chat.

Anet is ignoring a huge problem – and it’s all because they don’t have anyone in TS who is part of the GW2, so they can safely put blinders on until the map chat screenshots are just too overwhelming to ignore. But by the time you finally get an answer on any bullying ticket, your reputation is further degraded – so much so that many “commanders” won’t respond because of the viscous gossip and disinformation.

What would help in a small way is fielding castles on all maps at least during prime time.

It’s a community and until this company treats it as one, things are going to continue to deteriorate in WvW regardless of the other factors that prompt people to leave.

I am sorry your husband stopped playing – gamers aren’t all bad people, but even good people can be dragged into bad people’s wake of the destruction of others.

Draegon.1508:

So we’ve probably all seen multiple sets of armors which are… well, you’d expect to see them on a street corner rather than a battlefield. That’s fine by me; if you play a character and want hulking abs shown or lady/manly bits almost showing its up to you. What I, personally, would like to see is the ability to make the armors slightly less revealing.

Let’s take some examples!

Tier 3 human cultural armor (Assassin’s Armor):
The chest piece has a fair bit of underboob showing. I’m not opposed to having that but I’d love to see a leather worker be able to add a little bit of material to cover that up. Maybe just have the bottom moved a little bit down? Again, completely optional, only effects your character if you choose to do that!

Arah Dungeon Leggings
As with the above its a lovely piece of armor — one of my favorites, truth be told! The one thing that gets me is that the female variant has a TON of pelvis showing… to the point where I think it’d be marked NSFW in most jobs. Again, fine if you want that, but I’d love a variant added (crafted by an armorsmith?) that has, say, some chain-mail pants like the male one.

I feel I can’t say this enough but this would be optional and no one would be forced into having a different armor skin than the one you want. It would also give those of us who aren’t 14 year old boys more good armor choices (yes that’s a joke. Take is as one. :P) I’m no artist/modeler but what I’m thinking of would be minor changes that shouldn’t take too long to design and wouldn’t alter the general feel of the armor pieces. This also wouldn’t just be some kind of texture/model replacement mod. This would allow you to show off your characters personality better whilst allowing others to do the same.

There are skins I could never ever buy knowing that in real combat I’d be all over the place as a female character.

I want the choice of the cool skins without the underboob and pelvis action that I keep seeing.

Just one question – did any woman do any of the armor art? If so, who did which ones that are so uncovered?

Please don’t take this as “prudish” – I can’t see any charr wearing some of the armors; this has to do with the character’s character, they’d never wear half of what is available.

Nike.2631:

I don’t WvW much because the Devs refuse to face a basic problem:

The matches need automatic, continuous strategic-level handicapping/bolstering mechanics so you can put ANY 3 servers into a match and not know the outcome 10 seconds into the WEEK.

We’re beyond stagnant match-ups. Hell, we’re a year past ossification of match-ups.

I’ve said this so many times my brain hurts and my fingers are numb.
If it takes several lower tier servers to go against BG, TC, FA and JQ, then the epicness of the fighting would be very interesting and dynamic.

The combinations from lower tiers to upper tiers has yet to be tried – alliances would be necessary but from what I understand that’s NOT a road that Guild Wars hasn’t been down – not that hard to do and would open up many differing matches from two on one to four or more on one.

It really comes down to this;

Server pride means more than anything for WvW – so put our “normal” rotations into the mix – in other words, let’s take my server, Yak’s Bend, right now we are in a rotation that only has Ft. Aspenwood and Sea of Sorrows – and that is a match that should continue – but add to that a very small server to ally with Yak’s Bend against Ft. Aspenwood – still the three but now you have a larger server being challenged by roughly the same number of people (not sure the active populations, but I think you can see where many of us are going with this idea).

The lower servers – however many of them are fiercely proud – can you imagine however many it takes from the lower tiers to go against FA or JQ? How much pride would be there if they won against such odds – and there would still be odds – it wouldn’t be a sure thing for either side.

Now it’s a real war instead of three disparate areas that are warring unevenly and illogically the winner always known at the beginning of each reset, week after morale destroying week.

WvW’s real potential has yet to be tapped – all servers should be able to keep their servers intact, but alliances would bring a new and far more fair mode to a very stagnant and one dimensional model.

We love WvW, but those of us who have played it 2-6 hours or more a day know that we’re losing people, not just because they are bored but because there is no challenge and the “zerg” instead of “cooperation” even on the same server is almost non-existent.

We need team building mechanics – soon.

GW2 is the best at wvw in all mmo…

No its not, Dawdler has it right about ESO. The ESO design is clearly superior.

Except for the fact that they told me, at the time, that I could not use my mouse to move around – had to use WASD – which I can’t use no matter what.

testpig.5018:

Upgrades are now an event.
To finish the event, X number of Dolyaks need to reach the Objective.

This Solution promotes:
-The importance of supply camps.
-The importance of dolyaks.
-Players not having to use their funds to upgrade objectives
-Players not having to choose which upgrade to upgrade first.
-Promotes Defending ALL objectives
-Promotes Escorting Yaks
-Promotes WvW

Lets all agree to this, and push ANET to follow.

When players have amazing ideas, gaming companies should listen.

Stop cutting us out of the loop.

OtakuDFifty.2965:

In what way did the article make it seem like yaks weren’t important? Yeah, upgrades won’t rely entirely on yaks, but they would complete at a snail’s pace. No one wants their upgrades to complete slower. People will still escort yaks.

Sounds like five minutes being the difference isn’t going to be enough to make it “slow” or “fast”.

Anet: what would you guys like to see?
Players: Less pve!

hahaha so true. we even gave them a detailed list of things that were wrong with eotm and things that could improve it..

oh and also
spvp community: we hate skyhammer
anet:ok lets put skyhammer elements into wvw map for hot

---

Chuckles…I agree with you.

I think the below screen caps you gave earlier…they’re gates into objectives.

These aren’t jumping puzzles though…they’re short cut routes in the new map.

The second picture is definitely a jumping thing – call it what you will but you must jump and that makes it impossible for many – those with depth preception problems, one eye, glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, shall I go on?

The map in Skyhammer is hated because so many DO have such bad eyes and it’s totally not a game’s focus to care about people’s health – especially not their eyes. It’s not just the eyes, the camera angles are never “right” to be able to see those holes are open.

I am sorry the game will become one that was “the greatest game until…” if this keeps going – WvW is different than the rest of the game – and as such should be respected for what it is; a living community who asked that none of these things ever be brought to WvW.

And now here we get the back-hand of those who don’t care about this amazing-living community where there is some cooperation, a generous helping of leading, and was more fun, like many have said, when there weren’t all the “additions” that are now making it a “meta” joke to be in anything except the “approved” build and fight stance that your server demands or they exclude you and your different opinion.

As a community, we have asked time and again for WvW to be respected and this is what we get?

Why? What did we do wrong? Why punish the WvW community with doubtful and secretive changes that will add to an already complicated gaming environment? The stresses on WvW are many and steep now.

We love WvW – as one player said, EoTM? No way, it’s not WvW and EoTM pales in comparison.

Don’t add EoTM or PvP elements into WvW.

Please.

Anet: what would you guys like to see?
Players: Less pve!
Anet: ok more pve, coming!

hahaha so true. we even gave them a detailed list of things that were wrong with eotm and things that could improve it..

oh and also
spvp community: we hate skyhammer
anet:ok lets put skyhammer elements into wvw map for hot

Chuckles…I agree with you.

I think the below screen caps you gave earlier…they’re gates into objectives.

These aren’t jumping puzzles though…they’re short cut routes in the new map.

For those with one eye, eye problems, dizziness issues and more, the addition of a jumping anything in WvW is the biggest mistake and seemingly patterned after such things as the holes in the ground that no one can really see no matter what camera angle you’re in – ahem Skyhammer.

Where did they put the fun in WvW?

Dunno, think they decided it was better to stress all players out and have massive blob mentality rule all.

Forget skill, it never was about skill.

Forget about multiple avenues of strategy.

Skill and strategy are about to be yesterday’s news, whatever there was of it in WvW will now be terminally ended.

Hi everybody,

p.s.
Also, noticed that there’s going to be PvE style event that occurs every 3 hours. Winner gets a weapon that will attack your stronghold to help breach gates. Glad they didn’t say it would give a Tequatl style Chest. Imagine all the PvE players coming in every 3 hours just for this.

omg that will destroy wvw for good. a stupid chest a stupid pve mob for pve players to do something npc like which is pve. this is terrible and a stupid idea sorry anet but we dont want your pve karma trains in wvw. we wanna fight server vs server not server vs stupid ai npc pve mobs we dont want it we dont need it it has to go! we got stupid eotm for your pve crowd we dont want pve scrubs in wvw. this will push the entire wvw community away. we dont need npcs we dont want pve in wvw, we told u this for years! how long is anet going to ignore the fact that a true wvw player doesnt need shrines nor npc traps nore pve mobs!

Seems like they do listen to us.

I agree with you – skyhammer isn’t the only map that’s hated.

HoT will be a huge disappointment to those who know we were asked what we wanted and the exact opposite is happening in the expansion in many areas.

I feel like immobilize would make barrage a bit overpowered. It’s already a large AoE, and forcing a foe to waste a condition removal to escape it might be too much.

Arrow carts were the reason the warriors’ leg specialist trait no longer works on siege weapons. And that came before the arrow cart buff.

You mean like being eternally stun-locked by one and backstabbed and welled by others?

Rangers in WvW are either not able to do enough damage and die OR we do damage and die much faster.

It seems I missed the boat to a “decent Ranger” in GW1.

Rentapest.6503:

The “F2” pet utility skill is STILL bugged with no fix in sight!

If your pet is on ‘avoid combat’ and you trigger the pets utility skill, the pet shoult NOT go and attack! This defies the meaning of ‘avoid combat’.

You have two things you can do to fix this (well 3 things, unfortunately the 3rd seems to be the method employed: ignore the problem alltogether!).

1) You fix the issue and stop making the pet attack when it shouldn’t!
2) You create a 3rd pet mode. Guard=your pet attacks when you do, or defends you when you are attacked. Avoid Combat=Your pet does not attack when you do, nor defends but does attack when you trigger it’s utility skill. Passive=The pet NEVER attacks ever, unless specifically commanded to.

Also, while you’re looking at this please make pets useful and viable in PvE. And please don’t tell me they are, because they most certainly are not. DPS pets have NO survival and are completely useless.

Because we cannot dismiss out pets in combat when we need to (why isn’t this fixed either?!) the pet just stands there in all AOE like a dumb fool soaking up all the damage then dies. Then I have to waste a 60sec cooldown to get another pet, who instantly does the same thing and I’m stuck without a pet for a minute, only to repeat this over and over again. -.- The only sollution is to use the useless bear/tank pets that can take more than 1 hit, but bring NO useful buffs to improve my dps and do little damage. Since you kitten bow DPS and expect the pet to contribute a percentage of Ranger dps to bring this profession in line with other profession’s, then at least take the time to make pets useable.

Every time I even mention this in the game people roll their eyes, even Rangers and say “get on another character that works”.

Ya, know, we’re going on three years and Ranger has been the most broken prof since the beginning of the game – and I have been here since pre-release and have seen f2 and even our skills not working and not working and not working and not working………

As of today before reset, there are now up to three Veterans spawning in each spot;

More than enough to take down all inner siege and Veterans who are supposed to be Veterans but act like kitten rats or rabbits.

Please fix the ever-growing number of enemy Veterans in friendly properties.

If this behavior is not intended – how did it happen and how is the problem continuing to escalate beyond the one it was to the three that it is now?

If it is intended, please point out in the notes where I may find the change and the reason thereto

It’s truly exhausting trying to keep up because they are always contested by inner spies on tower walls and inner keeps – might as well put permanent swords up for all and say that we must guess before committing troops in that direction.

Another “build” and yet the Veterans are not only still there, it has become worse.

Instead of one Veteran in some towers, now two and three at the same spot are spawning.

So what was the build to fix if not WvW?

Anything but WvW

How about putting a blurb into the build notification to say what the build that is kicking us out of WvW is fixing and what is STILL, hopefully, being worked on????

Say that when you lose a tower or two and all your siege because of it…

We just did.

You can just take the tower back, and get WvW XP and Karma. That’s how Karma Trains work in EotM.

Who in the heck was talking about EoTM?

I was. Letting an enemy take a tower so you can take it back is a tactic of Karma Trains. So even if you lost an EBG Tower, look on the bright side of things. That’s just one more place to capture.

Apparently you aren’t comprehending that when the tower is lost, every time it is lost, the other team gains in score?

I am so confused that you and so many others don’t comprehend that it’s not a “take it back” issue, it’s an issue of an outside influence, one not intended can and does change the scores on every server when things like this are allowed to continue.

Putting each in their own thread gives anyone a chance to see, much more clearly, that the issue is there.

Did you miss the part where Chris, the dev, said to post any other issues in that specific thread so he could address them? Why would you do exactly the opposite? Also, nobody uses the built in search engine on this forum because it doesn’t work. Try “site:forum-en.guildwars2.com whateveryou’relookingfor” in google next time.

Did I miss it? Since the search engine doesn’t work of course I didn’t see it.

Being unkind about what can’t be known without knowing where these magical posts are, is just wrong.

Right, because I spend all my time defending Anet. Take a minute to click on my profile and view my highly rated posts. There are few more critical than me.

You know me. I have run with you on the server you are on right now.

On the server I am on (no names, I am not breaking any rules even if it would serve my point) we have now lost several towers which changes the score – taking it back does nothing about the points that were taken, the properties lost and the time and money spent to try to keep them.

Not sure why reporting a very bad bug is getting griefing at all – agreeing makes sense, adding more info makes sense, but this? It just reeks of strange and illogical.

When anything changes the score it should be inside the parameters of the stated program – these bugs are not intended and are instrumental in changing scores – that makes it a specific problem to be addressed not ignored while the enemy runs over us because they have help from inside.

How a couple of enemy veterans can not only survive friendly veterans but not even take damage from me when I hit them for several seconds after I hit them makes no sense in any case and says a bunch about the “defending” veteran versus the “enemy” veteran – they should be equal but they are far from equal and they do make a difference.

Manekk.6981:

It appears trapper rune stealth now always gives revealed when leaving stealth whether you break it through attacks or not, I could swear I was able to drop traps back to back before but now it even gives you revealed while you are still in stealth if you try to stack them, unless I lost my mind this didn’t use to be like this right?

Three things are going on when I try to use them:

1. Stealth doesn’t always stack.

2. When running away from any enemy the trap doesn’t stealth at all most of the time

3. Pets are not stealthed – so if the enemy can see the pet, why would we believe they can’t zero in?

Ya know, when one does a search in this forum, not a thing EVER comes up.

Anet has the worst search engine – if they can’t comprehend that players do look for the issue before posting a new topic, they must believe that we are all completely ignorant.

Yup, i dont use that “search engine”
High Tech

They should remove the “Seach this forum…” field.

Really should just remove it if it will never work.

Hasn’t worked in two plus years and I keep trying… does that make me nuts or an eternal optimist or both?

BTW they finally fixed this bug…
