1) don’t bag out the poor dragonhunters; rangers have powerful traps too.

You shouldn’t start with that, it calls into question anything that follows.

I smell a dragonhunter

must be dragon hunter is strong but nothing compared to mesmer condi

please add rewards in wvw they suck and compared to pve its just trash and no way to get legendary armor or weapons in wvw as well as no gliding lol

WOW all servers open sort of scary the state of wvw

lets face it mesmer condi build+stealth is pretty op
ive never seen a class win a 3v1 before chronomancer came out. I can’t say the others were skilled but i know i am(wvw roamer) and its pretty crazy the amount of invun i was seeing getting and condition spam and mesmer clones suck up slingle target skills/condi too well >.>

i’ve been playing since launch of gw2 and wvw almost entirely during that time. And yes i took a couple months break and played tera of all games until the expansion which i foolishly believed would bring back tons of players that will want to wvw. But considering all the legendaries weapon and armors only being in pve its no wonder wvw is as empty as it is and of course that new bl map.

rewards need to be on par with pve at least somewhat. im tired of being poor and no legendary >.>

ANET knows they failed. Not really sure why they would post something to just validate the obvious.

Funny reset story: I am in NA T2. On reset night there was a 50+ queue for EB and the BL maps had no queue,

i rather sit in LA then go to the new maps haha

tier 1 is empty too just thought i would add that. never see a queue ever and only eb has roamers. you get a zerg from time to time(rarely) lol

that will never happen. Old bl were pretty empty to begin with the new map just popped the finisher so to speak with mostly roamers unless a zerg was going for the ppt. Why replace EB and kill the only map that sees any action?

They want you to transfer so they can make more $$$.

That or they have no idea WTF they are doing in terms of how to balance WvWvW for smaller realms.

How can people transfer when BG/JQ/YB/TC are locked. And FA and SOS are getting filled up.

for a tier 1 person (in BG) i can assure you, you would never guess its tier 1 let alone a full one based on how little the population is i feel terrible for those lower tier servers…

i am not sure if its tier 1 thing or not but most dont defend really. I remember when i was in CD we used to call for back up all the time to defend a wp keep and it was fun and challenging now even before hot in BG especially after you never get people coming to wvw to defend its not worth peoples time i guess. but most say ppt its pointless and it sure feels that way

all the tempest i have faced on my scrapper went down pretty fast. channeling the over charge seems to get them killed lol

morrolan.9608:

Be warned though the chests being account bound is apparently a bug. They may be changed to being soul bound. There has been a large player reaction against the possibility of this happening though so it may not.

that is true a dev wrote but lets face it we(wvw’ers) heard that before when they wanted masteries to be character bound as well but we all know how that went

coglin.1867:

I tend to agree with you.

There was a dev post recently that offered their logic behind limiting WvW rewards. I absolutely did not agree with that answer in the least though. Unfortunately, I could not find that post in a quick search.

a dev writing something like that is terrible. I only wvw and i have to deal with being poor with no achievement points or legendary weapons and now legendary armor

scrapper if anything needs a little buff with some skills and as for the elite just spend a few hits and kill the gyro since its an easy kill

wvw got like little to no progression so anet took old progression and blocked it off and is trying to make you work for it again i guess lol

dont let them get you down! and you can take solace in the fact that guild zergs might very organized they almost never have enough numbers to take on a full pug zerg and get wiped all the time lol
im guessing they were wiped and tried to blame the extras for their lack of numbers vs a larger group lol

its true lets face it we all know they were making the raids and legendary armor quest for the pve’ers since the launch of hot lol
no time for wvw ever!

Sicarius.4639:

Never been one to call out for nerfs on a class, I think only broken things like Ice Bow have ever really deserved it.

But I would like to know what allows a single thief to go right through an entire WvW zerg dodge rolling non-stop taking little to no damage whilst healing back to full health when a hit would land. I couldn’t believe what I was watching, infinite dodge rolls?

Essentially how does a zerg stop it? How do you counter this? Nothing seemed to work.

clearly yu have yet to experience daredevil condi build lol

Aeolus.3615:

oh wow.. my post saying if gliders were into wvw we could no longer drop players from cliff got deleted Ç_Ç why?

totally expect gliders in wvw now :P

lol that cliff drop no more? maybe if people without HOT cant use gliders you might get lucky haha

glider for sure with some new masteries to make wvw more fun!

Brasetvik.1609:

They should switch out EB to the new borderland map and bring back the old homeborders imo.

why so no one would eb? and old bL are better than what we currently have but those sucked too which is why anet made a new one just failed

I remember when EOTM came out and it was suppose to be as i understood it a place you go when queue for wvw was taking long. But it makes no sense, because you can not be in queue for wvw while in EOTM.
I have been saying that EOTM gives wvw’ers fair weather players an escape when wvw is boring no commander/losing they can just run off to EOTM and ktrain themsevles to completion instead of working hard for their server.

well for most wvwer following forums they do admit they make mistakes about wvw(every so often) its just the lack of fixes and anything at all that has the community up in arms.

EB really? one would think you would suggest EOTM but no lol
and if chest of the mist is the only reason to play the new maps not actually wanting to is a clear indication the problem people have with the map has gone right over your head

Selwynn.2758:

This is also why everyone now floods to EB.

That was happening before the new map too though….

old BL sort of sucked but in hindsight we all loved it compared to what we have now.

been fighting a lot of theives lately especially daredevils and i have to say ive notice the bug but i was suspecting that they were dodging the pulse? maybe maybe not lol

love the post i agree with everything but you forgot anet didnt put gliding into it which it should for sure lol
also anet tried to kill scouting by those annoucements that pop up in your screen telling you when a camp/tower/keep has been taken alerting enemies to your presence if orange swords didnt already

Tiffany.8576:

It’s amusing. The other month people were up in arms because Mike O’Brien insinuated that very few people played the WvW game mode exclusively. Now when you ask where all the WvW players are, you’ll be told “they’re in PvE.” Guess he was right afterall.

Most of the ppl I know who only play wvw simply do not log in anymore……

yeah that and all the new progression is in pve including legendaries which wvw has never gotten and if you get a precursor you have to pve to create so haha jokes on wvw
if no on exclusively pve its because anet has made it so people can’t

yeah i was shocked too i bought hot so i didnt know until someone posted on forums. its meh no one uses it anyways and it’s not terribly effective at least from what ive seen and someone else can just use it.

if wvw had got gliding as well it wouldnt be so bad but it didnt and the new bl is terrible. I am in tier 1 and i can tell you its dead for all servers right now. ANd its true a lot of people are doing pve but as a TRUE wvwer i do not believe wvw should be something you do when you run out of content in pve just saying

i didnt notice i put the wrong accessories stats lol my build is the dire+rapid choose the wrong one lol
thanks for the imput will try the sigils and those utilities.

yeah necros and that condi spam haha
you know i’ve tried pistol/pistol but i have not tried pistol/shield might give that a go i do love blasting my waters . The only reason I am using hammer is for the mobility and the combo of water field but thats it usually using flame thrower which flame2 can blast.

I wvw only and lately esepcially this week been roaming since wvw quite empty. I made the build to be a tanky cheesey burn build which for most classes its solid however If my burns apply to another target say a mob/random wall of a tower/keep I start to run into problems sustaining myself til the cooldowns are over. I am very new to engineer just started playing it at launch.
The big reason Why i am asking for advice would be I am having a lot of trouble vs a necro(reaper).
anyone have a better build for condition/bunker that’s viable for zvz and roaming or changes
any help appreciated thanks

now you know a little of what its like to be a wvwer like myself

I am an exclusive wvw player and to have it soul bound is a problem for me
I roam on my engineer and zvz on my ele since my guild needs me on ele and nothing else. I also play my mesmer/necro pug zerging once in a while it would take so long for me to get the elites on it if i couldnt transfer from another character.
Just make it a currency and be done with it anet!

in wvw i cant target at all sometimes. And if i do i dont know it happens or i die trying to target or the player revives before i can target, also the gyro is like super squishy. Ive seen soemone kill the function gyro in the down state(few hits), I had to run up to them and finish them off myself after going through all the trouble to function them.
Same with reviving i try my best but action cam makes it hard to target.
Honestly wish the range was greater too so i am not risking too much spending the time to target.

happens to me all the time

i agree it with the guy above no stab is hard. also whenever i face a necro i have no chance on my scrapper still.

none of them can if you are mobile during fights >.>

I’m from BG and we have push weeks where we will dominate the ppt. but overall BG at least my guild is very zvz focused. The server as a whole likes fights over caps of towers/keeps. For a roamer on non push weeks would see lots of action however tier 1 i would’t normally suggest (if thats your play style) but then again those new bl maps make any tier roaming friendly.
I come from tier 2/3 and I personally love it usually a lot of action.

For those that think BG is abusing the population it’s not intentional. Like I said before we have push weeks where we maintain ppt and have a zerg throughout the day to cap stuff and hold. This week happens to not be a push week since launch of expansion. For as long as I’ve been on BG(6+ months) its been like this we push hard 1 week than take a break to avoid burn out.

i was told the average for the 400 point in terms of rank chest would be 137 so im guessing 137/2 for the new total whenever that is released.

a dev told me it was do to an infinite badge exploit or something like that

lol if dev told you it should be straightforwad not “something like that”

i put something like that because i couldnt remember the exact wording the dev used but not like it matters it is disabled and whether you know why or not wont change how soon its fixed

wow i didnt know shield generators are for Hot people only lol

i feel its too big but if they adjust the size and maybe make it more vertical with gliding it has potential but to have a map like that with no gliding just seems wrong !
But i feel for those who want the old BL back or new one entirely will be disappointed I am fairly certain this will be our BL until the next expansion lol

a dev told me it was do to an infinite badge exploit or something like that

love the post. when i read the changes to wvw about the auto upgrades i knew right away there would be a run away effect if stuff wasn’t capped back soon enough. Having someone click upgrade i believe is the perfect solution. no reason why something should get auto upgraded if the server that has it doesn’t bother to occupy it and defend.

dev was on bg and said infinite badge exploit
glad its not to nerf proof drop or anything lol

looked and didnt see any post about it but proofs merchant is disabled and I need my hero points

Agree but ebg too if its adjusted!
