Guild Wars 2

Anet will patch this. They love their siege humpers. Ac’s and mortars are already aids enough.

Junkpile.7439:

This maguuma server have 1.5 kill ratio and they still losing. They must have some serious l2p issues. Probably just sit in own keep and spam carts.

JQ is the one that sits on siege. It’s actually disgusting the amount of siege these guys use when they got all these people.

Jerry CCH.9816:

plz dont let strong Server get link…

EX: Na Server Jade Quarry….

Next WvW link coming Soon, and plz think more about it

That’s what happens when you got a no life 16 hour a day k train commander who avoids fair fights and k trains off hours.

If it’s wvw only problem don’t expect it to get fixed anytime soon

the ewp is a farm. Why would anyone troll it is beyond me.

this has always been the way to go imho. glicko system is horribad and the poll was a joke 1up 1 down vs rewards(which we did not get) of course rewards would win the poll lol

I wouldn’t mind this idea since it would give us more fights. It does not help the server getting beat though. They just become dependent on a bail out. Too carebear. It’s like me saying pve raids are too hard send help!

Maybe HoD should just get better. That AIR guild with RD Q a map. Our text pugs farm them. It’s a learn to play issue.

Without the links they can’t be a top three world and will be stuck in t1 with the current 543 scoring system to rot.

if there was more guilds in this game that would happen naturally. This is only possible in maybe 1 or 2 tiers in NA prime only. OCX SEA and EU on NA servers will be lucky to get 1 guild raiding tops. Gotta make it more rewarding to guild raid so people actually make more guilds and make wvw great again.

ppk isn’t even a big factor in the score unless it’s prime time. PPK means nothing most of the score comes from hitting doors and holding structures. If anything ppk needs a boost.

is it really that big of a deal?

the old system was better in every way except for paying money for upgrades. everything just upgrades with little to no effort.

Can we change this system back to 211 or 321? this was a horrible idea and the OP was right on the money

You look at EU and it’s the same stale match week after week as well. ANET sits idle and does nothing.

wvw and eotm are on the downward spiral and anet are doing little to help. Can we get some guys to stay on top of this gamemode?

LetoII.3782:

Not enough people to fill 4 maps in any match.
The reliable activity is in EB.

Pretty much sums it up right there. ded geam.

Anet have it set up so that eventually all the servers in T1 will die from a stale boring match up. They won’t do anything about it or the game mode in general. They had a vote on 1 up 1 down and people voted for rewards instead. Pve players deciding wvw’s fate yet again. we couldn’t even vote against the crappy 543 system.

Healing rev is trash. Don’t fall for the hype m8

They need to do a lot of manual glicko adjustments with this scoring system asap. Should’ve voted for 1 up 1 down tbh. Instead, pve players voted for the rewards

Rangerdeity.5847:

“what about guilds that run 50+ people at a time”
perhaps they will finally learn how to do the desert borderland if they now follow two tags instead of one. also what about the poor sap that has to face that 50 man organized group with 10 pugs?

There is no guild that runs 50+ that i see. T2 has most the guilds these days.

Paarthurnax.8931:

each time we got wiped, people left the squad until our commander said kitten it and we all went to EoTM instead.

^This is your problem, it’s not that you lack the players, it’s that they log off when they don’t have the numbers to steam roll.
JQ is even worse about it, when Cloud Fly tags down 90% of their players leave WvW.

Mag on the other hand almost never has a tag running all through euro, but there are still a kitten ton of people playing, and those people respond to calls in team/map chat.

Your servers are listed as full because they are full, they don’t need to be opened just because you have a lot of fairweather players.

Sorry you are way off the mark here. TC doesn’t have numbers to compete in T1 at the moment or even at NA in T2.

You say yourself that in EU Mag has a kitten ton of players playing even when there is no tag but that’s not true on TC. There is no kitten ton of players maybe 10-15 at best if there isn’t a pin or sometimes even if there is! This is numbers across all bls….

BG friends saying, TC people saying, likely people on other servers saying…how on earth is Mag still open? Mag blobs are real and even Mag guilds complain that they can’t run private without a kitten ton of people following…it’s killing T1 and the poor unfortunate T2 server who rolls T1, end of story.

Anet needs to revamp the algorithm that determines wvw server size but I guess they collect easy money as band wagoners head to Mag while ushering wvw to its speedy death.

Mag needs to seriously destack if it really wants people to fight otherwise why would you fight that bloated kitten?

Totally agree with OP’s points.

the servers in T2 are more stacked than mag. Mag just has better all around coverage. T1 in general is pretty ded at the moment all around. Mag has always had a strong EU and NA since the T3 days.

Or just bring 80 vs your 15 as mag just did against BG (because previous attempt with 40 failed)

Every time someone from BG complain about being outnumbered, my heart feels warm. It’s almost as if it was still alive.

Almost…

I came back about 15 months ago and BG is outnumbered by at least 1 server during EU timezone most of that time…sorry if its other way around for you

Ahh, i see why you’re bringing this outnumbered stuff up. You have 2 EU guilds on BG that are no showing (NINE and Hel) Not our problem they’re not blobbing it up like they use to. I could say the same thing about sea for maguuma where we maybe have 1 small guild and BG k trains everything. Not much you can do. Let it all go, PPT means next to nothing in this game anymore.

Most of the armor sets in this game are broken(minstrel, dire etc) If they made an amulet system exactly like spvp i wouldn’t shed a tear tbh.

Hitman.5829:

Why? why is the siege in WvW like mortars and cannons positioned in places where they can easily be killed? It makes no sense from a defense stand point.

It’s fine the way it is m8. just think if mortars and cannons were super hard to kill nothing would ever flip and everything would be t3. that sounds like a lot of fun.

Yes, it would be super boring if servers with huge numbers advantage should put too much effort into taking stuff…having more people should be only deciding factor

What does that have to do with what we’re talking about?

I wouldn’t mind a season just to bring some fresh blood onto the wvw scene. Make wvw the center of attention for once.

If you defend with fighting you’ll get a lot of bags. Get a group together, get organized and get bags the fun way.

aarias.4016:

Not at all, what’s fair for one TZ is fair for the others.

There tends to be less of a problem during NA prime though since most servers have a decent population. Even if one server has better guilds or whatever, they at least have warm bodies to carry out tasks.

During OCX/SEA through to EU there tends to be a lot of 40+ vs <10 ktraining which is a horrible experience for the <10 side and usually leads in those people either being miserable and eventually quitting the game entirely, or transferring to the 40+ server so they can “win”.

You mean not fun for the 40 dudes cause k training is a snooze. Most k train because there’s nothing to fight. That’s not their problem.

Who cares about off hour k trains. Like, does the score even matter? I mean, you need a big blob to take some of these t3 structures as well. If you took away the shield gens i don’t think it would be possible to take anything tbh. Do you really think wvw would be better if everything was t3 and fully sieged up? It kills the fights, it kills the game.

we did lose 2 big guilds(rekz, KRTA) makes sense i guess

it all depends on the commander i guess. on maguuma we’re not fans of necro’s in our pug groups.

I wish there was a bug that deleted ac’s from the game but this will have to do for now i guess.

casantis.3106:

I think they don´t care anymore. How many time with no improves now? Just some “fixes” here and there, but is not enough.

Population balance is horrible right now. I am at Blackgate and we are a ghost town until NA prime, compared to the population of Maguuma.

Same thing for maguuma during sea. They don’t have anyone. Not much you can do.

There was not really any good content added to WVW. Most of the content they added was pretty bad(Banners, T3 Gates, hardened siege, DBL, etc) making the gamemode worse. WVW is pretty much go after the same towers and keeps that mean nothing to most people. How can WVW get new fresh players when the only thing that would make people come into WVW is the gift of battle? I mean, you get 250k kills in WVW and get a title and that’s it? If something is broken in WVW it takes anet forever to fix it (boonshare). Maybe there would be more commanders if you got rid of stupid 1200 pulls and moa’s in wvw. GVG is totally unsupported and ignored by ANET not to mention the meta in wvw for gvg is trash and needs fixing. WVW should be guild wars end game because the players can make the content but ANET just don’t care about WVW and it should be obvious after 4+ years.

It’s more of a learn to play issue.

Who cares about a golem rush? the game has bigger problems.

Making the score worth less on ebg? You think the guys in ebg are worried about the score? lol EBG is fine. LEAVE THE MAP ALONE

Straegen.2938:

jamesdolla.3954:

I guess if you got rid of all the 1200 pulls and moa it would be ok. The necro corrupts are a pain but whatever.

Moa is on a massive cooldown. A DH has a pull that is unblockable, unevadable on a 20s timer.

With CS it’s only 90 seconds and if you get pulled, moa’d and immobed it’s prob gg and once you go down you get punted back killed sieged and frog tea bagged on there’s no saving you m8

I guess if you got rid of all the 1200 pulls and moa it would be ok. The necro corrupts are a pain but whatever.

How can you stop driver snipe? Can’t really do it unless you make commanders invuln but then everyone would be running around with a tag then lol

Soon we will be saying #OpenSBI

Baratta.1083:

Well Anet has done went and screwed the WvW players again. The linking is working well for the T1 and T2 servers but is still punishing the lower Tier servers. Looks like Anet will be losing yet more WvW players that seem to be moving on to other games.
Four years and Anet still just can’t get WvW right.

Most T1 and T2 servers don’t even have a link. what are you going on about?

What he said. There are blobs in all tiers so there’s no need to reduce tiers.

He probably wants more active Sea,ocx and eu timezones. those timezones look dead in most tiers tbf

1- There’s an EU set of servers.
2- If those timezones are dead then reducing the tiers won’t do anything.

1- There’s EU guilds with NA players so that’s not an option due to ping
2-It’s not that the timezones are completely dead it’s that their spread out too much. A contraction can help for sure.

there’s blobs in all tiers. The blobs in t3 and t4 are mostly eotm like.

Crazy.6029:

1. Remove Boon/Condition meta by removing resistance as a boon and put it on gear. Make it work like toughness works with direct damage, the more you have less damage you take. Resistance on Gear. Then buff base direct damage for all profession abilities. I think this would provide some balance and give the players some choice if they dont wanna melt by conditions them let them gear the damage down.

Removing resistance tilts the meta towards full condi cancer. Why would anyone wanna get this special resistance gear and sacrifice stats? I just don’t get this idea.

i would be all for getting rid of the mad until they fix it up and get it up to par but it seems like we got 1 map that’s still in beta for 1 year +.

ThomasC.1056:

Hello,

DBL has its flaws and qualities. Some love it, some don’t. It’s different from ABL and EBG for sure.

Now, there’s been an official poll long ago. Here’s the result.

McKenna Berdrow.2759:

The poll has ended! After removing all votes for “Don’t Count My Vote” the final results are:

65.5% No: The Desert Borderland map should continue to be supported.
34.5% Yes: The Desert Borderland map should be permanently disabled.

This means that the Desert Borderlands map will continue to be supported. Next, the Mixed Borderlands poll will be re-run to determine how the Desert Borderlands map will re-enter play. Thank you to everyone who voted!

So… I hope it clears your doubts. For memory, the answer “Yes : The Desert Borderland map should be permanently disabled” needed 75% vote to be enforced. There’s been bunches of threads and posts about polls’ accuracy and validity.

So…. Maybe it’s time to let go of DBL ranting, go back to ABL or EBG and do what you enjoy to do, while leaving those who like DBL enjoy it.

The way that crap poll was worded you’d think they’d do something with the deserted bl’s like make some improvements. little has been done and the map is trash. No blood lust still lol. I mean, barely anyone plays the map just get rid of it.

Only way you could ever zerg bust was if it was a eotm type zerg and there is no reason for casual dudes to play anymore. wvw offers nothing to those types of players. there’s noway you should win fights against competent groups that have more than you. You’re living in a fantasy world.
