Guild Wars 2

that is pretty dumb, not letting rangers use rifles. id rather use that than my bow i think, and especially rather than my axe/torch combo.

i love the ranger/hunter type characters, always have. but this is seriously some weak stuff in this ranger class man. in wvw anyway. its fine in pve, no problems. but we have absolutely no counters to anything, cant ‘disappear n zip to somewhere’ etc like others, or have multiple images appear etc, which it seems to me, being ranger/one with nature type thing, we should be able to meld into the surroundings and camouflage away somehow, something, ANYTHING. anyone who knows rangers runs up to us n just unloads cuz they know we are worthless in defense, because we have none. cant get away, and our attacks are so weak that i am getting embarrassed to be one, and i actually have kinda cool looking exotics with racial, but even that doesnt matter because its lame.

a typical attack on me by, say, a guardian; getting locked down in the light chains then 2 hit, and im dead. my build is just fine, but this class is crap, it has no teeth or defense. or my new favorite, being 2 shot by thieves that stay invisible, and then i die before they even reveal themselves. im not even getting into the other classes. you have at least 3 other classes that either have 5 ‘pets’, or they can multiply, or their dps is so insane that with our medium leather and slow speed and no speed buffs we are worthless. and im really enjoying the one where an invader attacks nearby npc’s then disappears so my auto attack starts firing on the npc animal while they reappear behind me and i get ganked. (that ‘one with your pet’ or whatever its called doesnt count as a speed buff, as long as it takes to cycle until we can switch to a different skill that slot is useless, making us even weaker for too long) i know we are ranged, but that does absolutely no good when another class youre firing on from what should be a safe distance, suddenly zips up right next to you and cuts you down, with no chance to even react before youre fighting to survive on the ground. you might as well have just made us fat bears like lame pandas or something that just jog around and throw jars of honey and spit bees or something stupid, that might actually be effective.

you already cut down our ranger dps when you took out some supposed ‘graphics glitch’ that i never heard anyone speak of with the short bow, i never experienced it. but apparently because i use a short bow i get the dps nerf. thanks. NOT. and in every patch notes there is some class always getting buffed, rarely nerfed, several not even touched, or changed so slightly it doesnt make a difference or its some weak graphics thing that was just fine but your devs decided to change it cuz they didnt like it, not that there was a problem or anything. you have forum pages full of exploits and hacks that people tell you about but you would rather throw in some cosmetic thing to make it look good rather than fixing game mechanics so its more FUN. and the one thing i ever saw of rangers changed in a patch was the short bow thing. this is not even fun any more in this class. its really really lame. the rare highs in the middle of really low lows doesnt make it worth it any more. from what i hear in gw1 the rangers were kind of tough. i wouldnt know ive never played that. but why would you screw that up? ive tried with this, spent more money than i planned trying to make it ‘fun’ or ‘cool looking’ etc, but as is theres no point. not as long as its like this.

couldnt do the halloween dungeon, was bugged. no mobs, never got to fight the boss. lame. lost isles, when after a full day of waiting for noll to be added in a PATCH, he doesnt do what hes sposed to, not worth the effort to care about a 3 day event when 2 days are wasted. lame

thats not anywhere NEAR high enough points level for that title. with that low total, everyone would have it in less than a week, and still would not have enough wvw experience to deserve it. took me, as a casual player, a few mos to get the 100k hk n title ach in wow. for your system the points total should be at least 30,000.

Ricky.4706:

imo a commander should be – 2 – 3 people scouting for enemy zergs and scouting for sites to cap ….. 1 person gathering info and telling the person with the icon where to take the zerg team next. A commander on the field should focus on keeping his team alive and capping sites – he should not have to stop and figure out a plan without any intelligence. The current way commanders lead is pretty much guess work without a good intelligence team.

commanders, in order to be successful, should:

send out 2man scout grps to eyeball keeps, towers, supply, movement etc, and those scouts reporting in regularly, while taking out dolyaks n sentry points on their runs

2 10mans taking every supply dump, then moving on, of the current enemy color being the biggest pain in the rear close to your territory. you cant build any upgrades or sieges with no supplies. ive been on the wrong end of having a map full of our keeps/towers with no supplies. not fun. if they go back n take the supply you just took, circle back around n take it again. if they know you have at least 1 10man out there it forces them to send a grp to attack them, taking from their main force

if you are not taking a well defended keep or the castle, split the main force and hit 2 dif points on the map away from each other. it not only forces them to split but gives you more time to pound the base while they are still running to defend. it splits your forces too, but thats part of the risk you take in battlegrounds. and if you have 2 attacks going, you face a smaller force. the only other choice is zerg. no fun, its a big pointless excercise that gets you nowhere.

meanwhile, every person should always have supplies, that is a must, no excuses. if you dont have any get them, even if you have to take a long arsed run away somewhere in some cases. your 5 of the 10 you have may finish a ram and allow you to take a keep with seconds to spare. and those who can afford sieges should always carry them too, just dont place them within range of other sieges or at spots you dont fully control yet. you not only waste your silver but it is useless to the attack/defense if you drop it and cant finish it or cant man it

just one way i do sometimes, but i am not a commander, though i have done it on occasion in the off hours. the last time, we were very successful with this strategy and took our entire bl map with one keep exception.

i myself prefer to be one of those 10mans running around ganking supply dumps; i like to think of myself as that gruff sergeant in old war movies w the unlit cigar, who got busted down in rank because he was scapegoat for a different officer’s flub. he is low level but knows more about the big picture than many of the people in charge who dont like him and is needed. the charr voice goes well with that too.

anyway by the time we took the entire bl map an actual commander had shown up and took over, thankfully, because i was drunk off my gourd. :P

LOL @Fisher – Anvil Rock :P << (thats not a ‘i like your comment’ comment, thats a ‘youre kidding, right?’ comment.)

@samstein – having the commander title is no indication of a person knowing how to win rofl. you can buy the stupid thing without ever having stepped foot on a wvw battleground. how does that prove that person knows what they are doing? simple. it doesnt in any way, shape or form. you also cannot make it a guild achieve, or anything to do with guilds. that would make a ton of people join guilds that can get it, again letting a lot of schlubs who have no clue whats going on get it if they happen to have those requirements. i have seen many guilds that are supposedly wvw centered, but every commander in them only knows how to zerg, so that doesnt help. it cannot be an election process in any way, that would lead to the popularity contest that is already one of the big problems.

as a pvp veteran on wow and a casual player, i am rather proud of the 100,000 honorable kill and title achieve i got there. its not easy to get in the slightest, and the in game respect earned from getting it is nice. they have figured a way for people to earn that, there is no reason why anet cant come up with a way for people to earn this commander title as well.

@same – ya, whatever man. i dont work at anet so its not my job to know exactly how to do this. make the title achieves as hard to get as 100g is, which isnt easy at all. im not saying just hand them out. what i do know for sure is buying this title is an extremely bad way to go, and it needs changed to be earned by people who actually know how to wvw and have learned from their experience.

@balidor – as i suggested, besides the X number of kills;

having used a certain amount of supplies in repairs, upgrades, building sieges etc

number of keeps, towers, supply camps etc captured

how many of your own towers, keeps, supply camps etc you have defended

should be several things, but not by voting. that will most certainly only lead to the ‘mr. popularity’ garbage we dont need. when you earn your title on your own, you must prove to others you know how to lead by doing it after you get it, not by handing it to you that way.

@Same – that leads back to the popularity issue…getting the title should not be voted on by anyone, that would only continue the clique-ish ‘you dont do what i say so im ignoring you or making you look stupid so no one likes you’ thing. it should be an individually earned title, nothing to do with anyone but what you alone have achieved. then, with your blue dot, as commander you earn the trust of people on the battlefield by leading them in a competent way. they know you have been there and done that, and will help them win.

lyonell – you kinda missed my point. every server is going to have people with commander titles they dont like. but anyone with the gold who has never set foot on a wvw bg can get one. then unknowing people go and ask ‘im new, what do i do?’ others say ‘follow the blue dot’, when that blue dot is some nub who doesnt know what a hole in the ground looks like…..it doesnt matter if i like them or not, its the overall picture of the entire game; when people who dont know how to lead, lead, they make servers lose, which makes the game not fun and boring for everyone. and when you get to max lvl and have nothing left other than wvw, which is full of incompetent ‘commanders’, you already know what to expect…..to leave for a different game.

no, not a good idea. karma is so easy to get in the later stages and pvp that everyone who plays wvw would constantly have 50 of everything, and there would be 20 sieges on every defensible position and some group on every corner ready to kill you as soon as you round it. all any team would have to do is cap a section of the map, drop sieges, defend that area, force their way up forward, drop a bunch more sieges, defend….til they have the entire map and you cant even escape out the side doors of the lone portal youd have. the way it is, and with the not so easily available gold, it keeps a good balance, forcing most everyone to share responsibility for them, and makes them a more valuable commodity.

just because you can afford the title is no reason to get it, when you dont know what youre doing on a battleground, is my point. ANYONE can get it, even those who have never set foot on wvw maps and wouldnt know a keep a supply camp. and simply ignoring the incompetent commanders for the ones who use their heads is not what i meant. what it comes down to is the overall bad idea for the entire game of letting any schlub with 100g have it. they should have to earn it.

that score is too funny man. and i thought i was in some bad ones. but i do agree, the matches should be cut down to 3-4 days, instead of a week. usually you will find out by then who will win, and if its close its all the more reason to stay and play in this 7 days though, the last few days arent even worth the time to go on the battleground if youre getting clobbered. especially with that score ROFL.

Anet should never have started selling this title. 99% of the people who have them wouldn’t know strategy if it whacked them in the head, and most people many of us trust to lead don’t have the title.

A few problems with it, besides the obvious one of selling it:

1. What the heck was Anet thinking that would make selling this title a good idea? All it shows is that some people know how to generate gold, or buy it from a farmer. Not good.

2. It gives people not familiar with wvw the idea that all they have to do is run around following the commander’s blue dot on the map in zerg after zerg; as I said, 99% of them don’t know strategy, so as soon as something gets taken, if they aren’t stopped cold, it immediately gets taken back right after the zerg leaves, making it pointless, and it gets very old very fast, making wvw boring. And when you get nowhere with so-called commanders, you lose, making it no fun.

3. Most with the commander title and blue dot, when they get it, act superior and gather around them loyal minions, turning the entire time they are on the map into a popularity contest. If someone who actually knows strategy wants to add ideas or work independently, many times they get ridiculed by the commander, and no one wants to be part of something outside of what a popular but unknowing commander wants to do, getting the entire server nowhere.

With earning the title instead of buying it, everyone would have the general idea that this person has at least some knowledge of how to lead….not that it would guarantee it, mind you, as there would always be those who never stop their bad habits. But I think most would agree it would make for a more interesting, explosive, in-depth experience on the wvw battlegrounds, what Anet intended I’m sure, than just running from base to base in a ridiculous zerg for hours on end.

There are other problems but I’m not here to write a book.

This was just an all around bad idea. There is absolutely no reason why Anet couldn’t have made this commander title something to be earned, not bought. Such as a certain number of kills….by the time you get to X number, you will have known all wvw battlegrounds and what to do good enough to have earned it, is just one example. I personally won’t spend 100g for that garbage, and don’t care what people think whether I have one or not. I know how to strategize these battlegrounds, it is easy, and not just zerging everywhere. The way things are it is only going to drive good thinking people away from this game, as well as those not familiar with wvw, for getting boring fast, as it is basically the only fun thing to do after reaching max level.

anet will not fix this, it has been over a month, and they said they would have a fix in a few days. so just go to your options, select audio, and turn your quality down to crappy. it wont happen any more

last week, 2x as soon as i logged on, instantly, a guild w the letters HELL (Horde something) on darkhaven server auto invited me to their guild, and i turned them down. today, i logged on and there wasnt even an invite. i ran around n did the arah events, finished. then happened to look a few minutes later at my guild board (which i did earlier and saw nothing but the guild i am in presently), and apparently i was automatically in that same guild HELL on darkhaven server, between when i signed on and when i went to shelters waypoint from the arah event, though i did not want to be and never even considered it. you have to stop this. they have gone from auto invite before im even logged on to auto accept FOR me.

this game is no longer fun. i have world transferred, it does no good. i get no loot drops but garbage so i cant make gold, event karma keeps getting reduced to bronze or silver because bots drag the mobs to areas away from the event so they can corner them and dps them to death. the dps of most bots is insane, hence no loot. and thats if the bot loot farming prevention hasnt kicked in, which means no loot anyway.

im not going to make another toon and roll it thru to 80 again, just to try gearing it thru more of these bots. einstein even knew doing the same thing over and over n expecting different results is the definition of insanity, and anet is crazy if they think im doing that again. this game leveling can be interesting, but in their posts about ‘interesting things around anet and coming up’ seems to skirt too much around this big problem that gives you a big slap in the face. try updating us on the effectiveness of your bot prevention. you cant ignore this man, its been a little over a month and this game is already not playable the way its meant to be, and we the players are paying for that because there is no effective bot control that doesnt screw us in the process.

i sent your twitter cs links to at least a dozen websites that brag openly about having bots in gw2 pve and wvw, as well as ones they hope to have working correctly soon. what you do with that info is up to you, but i am done. this game is no longer fun. already. and that really is a shame.

Yamagawa.5941:

Jeez. Talk about a ton of unfounded speculation and baseless accusation.

Bots farm. Bots are good at farming, its what they do. Players farm too. Players farm better than bots. Don’t go grumbling at anti-bot code when you’ve been doing the same things as bots, that is, farming. (Is the code perfect? Doubtful – It’s a new product and the code is low visibility, it’s hard for players to objectively measure it. Should A-Net be studying it’s performance? Yes. And I’ll bet they’ve got more than one person looking at it).

I recall back during the beta days, a comment from one of t he a-net staffers to the effect of: ‘The longer a creature has existed in the game, the more xp you get for killing it’. I’d bet cold hard cash that the same applies to drops. How long do a lot of those risen mobs exist? How long do a lot of your other mobs exist?

My two cents:
If it hurts, don’t do that.
If you get no reward for doing that, try something else.
Lastly: Enjoy the experience. ‘Woah, I just thrashed that frog by falling onto him from a cliff’ ‘That Blood dye is simply amazing’ ‘Did you see that bull backflip when my Asura hit him with the lightning hammer?’ ‘You got 3.5 million damage HOW?!’ ‘Woah, that’s a really pretty view.’ ‘Tornado rocks!’
If your enjoyment of the game is obtained entirely from the drops you get, then you are SERIOUSLY missing out on the game.
Don’t get caught up in the numbers and mechanics. Get caught up in the story. The visuals. The effects. Be here to enjoy the game, not to critique it. Let these guide you, and you can’t go wrong.
//Yama

absolutely not. the players should not have to skip killing undeads or other npc just because bots farm them. what you suggest would let the bots win, and when people stop complaining abt those due to their stopping killing them, it will make anet feel there is no problem and they will push it off to the side n take care of something stupid like what something looks like instead of gameplay.
just ban all chinese ip addresses on n american servers, anet isnt making money thru subs from anyone anyway. it wont take care of the prob 100% but it will be enough to make a major difference in the american gameplay. let them cry to get their own servers, and when they do then let them take them over with bots, but leave us alone.

I recently tried to purchase an exotic axe from the bltp that was posted at 2g 50s. i selected it for purchase and was taken to the final purchase screen to accept the exchange…..when i got there, the price had changed from 2g 50s to 3g 22s….. and when i went back to the selection screen the price had changed to 3g 22s on that screen as well. what the bleep is going on man. im not paying that. and im sick to death of these bugs everywhere. anet seems more worried about how things look than fixing whats broke that actually lets this game work correctly.

i dont understand what your qq is here. you have a lazy shift? you want to see what a typical score is on MY server?

N. Shiverpeaks – 135,000
Anvil Rock – 33,000
Borlis – 30,000

NSP controls all 3 orbs, and it is well known that they use hacks in their wvwvw. we have gone against them at least 2x and got slaughtered both times that i recall. a typical one is; last night we happened to get our orb back for about 1/2hr, then when they sent in a grp to take it again, after their player grabbed it and ran off, he disappeared completely from the map. we had no way at all to know where that person was so we had absolutely no chance to get it back before they were safe. needless to say a few mins after it appeared in their fort, all nice and guarded w reinforced walls etc. again.
we have good players, so on an even playing field we would give anyone a good fight. but when youre up against people who cheat to win, seem proud of it and keep getting away with it, it makes this game not much fun.

i dont care about what it looks like, there are so many bugs i cant even play the stupid thing, let alone worry abt the looks of it. fix my cursed shore karma armor vendor so i can get my gear already, the arah gate waypoint event series is screwed and the vendor hasnt been there for a week. you guys send out halloween giveaway notices instead of announcing that you are working on bugs; we have had absolutely NO word on any fixes, no patches, no server resets, nothing. between pve bugs and bots, and wvwvw hacks, this game isnt even fun any more.

ok nice to know. nsp does those here, and they rarely lose because of that. we were able to have our orb back for all of abt 1/2hr before they came to get it and, as usual, when their runner grabbed it he disappeared, so our commanders gave up and left. so many pve bugs and wvwvw hacks makes this game not even fun any more.

thats not a bug, its a hack. nsp does many of those, including when they grab the orb from you their runner simply disappears from the map w no way to trace him. why do you think they dominate wvwvw. it certainly isnt because they actually play like everyone else.

this bug has absolutely nothing to do with ‘too many sounds going on’ as some nub suggested. i was rezzing to a waypoint with silence when it happened to me

wow. you guys need to just report this stuff and move on. being so anally retentive like this on a brand new game shows the kind of extremely vain people that came here from wc and expect the same perfect graphics from a 1mo old game as those on a 10yr old one. calm down, go sit down and play.

for some of these things, the aqua breather can be explained, tho i dont know if they intended this or not: i have an 80 charr. dont know if you noticed but they rarely close their mouths all the way. so, open your mouth and move your toungue to close off breathing from your mouth. works fine thru your nose right? ok, maybe thats what charr are doing with the aqua breather, its sealed on their nose, and they created everything from submarines to tanks and charrzookas etc, maybe they are smart enough to know not to breath thru their mouths while under water. sheesh.

i dont understand this….i have the option of reporting gold sellers in mail just like i do in game, and have never seen them send me 1c. there is an exclamation mark on the bottom left of the mail window that has your bot/gold farming etc reporting options.

i was told by anet that the traits purposely reset in spvp for whatever their reason, so its not a bug. so if you continue to do spvp be sure to check them and reset before you do anything. also i was told they would reset to how you had them before you entered the Mists, when you leave. i personally had mine set how i liked them and didnt appreciate having to redo them just for that, but that is the answer from them. they shouldnt force people to make changes to things they are happy with, so i rarely if at all do spvp any more. i just go to wvw instead.

I am to the point where I don’t even want to log on any more, there are so many bugs and chinese bots in Cursed Shore on my server. I have another level 47 toon in a different area, but if I wanted to go on it I would. This server has not been reset in almost a week, no one can get into Arah because every event leading to it is bugged, the only regular events that work are crowded with chinese bots that, after 5 days of running in circles and into walls, the owners have figured out that if they team their bots together and draw the mobs away from where most people go to attack, they will get more loot and we get less.
And on top of dutifully reporting obvious bots, there is STILL no acknowledgement of any of these entire game-wide problems (in particular Cursed Shore, on EVERY server), such as ‘Be patient, we are working on it’ or whatever. Meantime I log on for 10mins, find a ton of bots and same problems, can’t get anywhere….so I log off and do something else, I don’t even want anything to do with this game. This is really becoming a big letdown. $60 to play this for 1mo. I may not like WoW any more but at least I didn’t get shafted by them at 4x the cost.

James Quall.6029:

I unlocked every single skill before level 80. Do yourself a favor and buy it.

how you get an elite skill open before level 80. you cant open each tier until the previous tier is completely done.

it is fun, but the sounds it makes when you fire are really dumb. i assumed something like an rpg rocket sound, or like the engineer Overcharged Shot ‘KAPOWW!’, something along those lines. but i got a lame trigger ‘poof-poof’ instead. dunno if that makes sense but it sounds lame. for 30 elite skill points, beef it up anet.

Soutalgon.3827:

Really, can you guys do something about it? Rounded up its currently $5 for every 1g you want through gems.

exactly. i bought 1600 gems the other day, checked the exchange rate, a lil over 4g. so twenty bucks for 4g.

heres the skinny for the schlub off the street:
i have played a few f2p games, most arent very graphically appealing as much as this (and i know this isnt a f2p game im comparing economies), but when it comes down to money and what you get for it that makes a big difference in whether or not you keep players. i can go to, say, eq2, and buy a permanent flaming whatever mount for less than $15 in their currency. here in gw2, to buy the racial shoulder armor, ONE PIECE, would cost me about $100, would have to exchange gems for gold, then get it.

i doubt i will need any more gems. that 1600 i got was a 1x purchase. and i certainly wont go to a gold farmer. so this is what will happen; either the gold becomes at least somewhat easier to get in this game (then jack up the price of that gear by more gold, keep it hard to get), or it becomes overrun by gold farmers and bots and there will be no one left to give a kitten how cool and innovative it could have been. thats a fact boys and girls, its happened before.

Dishconnected.8360:

Shayde.2564:

Anet could fix the issue at any time, they’re essentially the Federal Reserve and set the exchange rate of gems>gold. If Anet set the rate to be more competitive, say 100-150gems = 1gold, then even with their existing -30-40% gem-to-gold conversion rate, they’d still be right in line with outside sellers. $10 would be about 5-7g, and very reasonable.

And then outside sellers would undercut them again. Now what?

by then gold farmers would have to sell gold so cheap it wouldnt be worth their time, and not many complaints by the players feeling the need to go to them. THATS what.

no. this situation makes people buy from gold farmers, which gets more accounts hacked and banned, which makes anet put more people on the ‘hacked accts’ jobs, which takes away from devs to remove bugs, which takes away from the bot removal team cuz they take gear from events we need to sell on tp, to have a half assed chance to make gold in the first place. anet is creating this problem, we are just dealing with it the best we can.

First off, if you’re going to put more chests inside these chests, that is dumb. The majority of people playing this have little currency to begin with, then when we finally have enough to buy 5 keys with gems from the TP, to begin getting rid of our 50+ chests to make room in our limited banks, we get 2 more chests, if we are lucky another key, useless transformation tonics that are account bound (i have 15 different tonics)… people dont hang out in town chatting, showing off ‘hey imma minotaur’ or whatever tonic they got, they are out doing stuff.

thats just an example of something that happens, and did to me. i need to make room in my bank but all of these things that are account bound are really dumb, useless things of no value. is there a point to it? some way to make at least some of our gems back would be nice, considering. it doesnt make the game fun, it makes me think sigh, spend another handful of gems on something im hoping to get anything of value from, just to get garbage. again. it doesnt make me want to spend hard currency to get more gems, it makes things frustrating.

most of us, when we begin, are lucky to get 1 or 2 keys near the lower levels from just random drops. maybe 5 or so up to lvl 80. but by then we have accumulated 50+ chests. i personally dont want these chests, they are of no use to me, i dont have the gems to play a betting game on them. if i spend gems/gold on something i want a tangible item, something that will be of use to me, or something i can see. im just going to throw out all that account bound trash i dont want and sell my chests….which really sucks considering ea chest is only worth a few copper.

give us an easier way to accumulate gems/currency and i wont care. until then, grinding lvl 80 events in cursed shore, when the entire area isnt BUGGED TO HELL AND FULL OF BOTS, for drops to sell on the trading post is the only way, and its already old. at the rate i am able to make gold i wont see my first (20g) pc of racial armor until christmas. and this is september.

Since i started this game i tried WvW a few times for a few mins, was neat. but also noticed one server was besting the other two the times i was on. its gonna happen, i know that, theres not going to be nicey-nicey ‘its your turn’ kind of thing going on. bear with me.

i signed on to wvw tonight after i hit level 80, hooked myself up with some decent karma pvp gear, and set out. within 10mins our server had been beaten back to our portals, we couldnt get out. i noticed on the wvw screen small world map, that that dominating server, the one that was owning the other two servers since i started this game on aug 25th, had over 3/4 of the world map theirs, and over 30k points, to our 11k and the 3rd server at almost 9k. i went to every front…..on every front my server was backed up to the portals, we simply could not get out. this is supposed to be fun? when you spend 10mins and die 6x just trying to get out of your bg entrance just to give up and end up having to spend very valuable (at the time, we didnt have any broker and still have sporadic ah use) coin on repairs, for what, to get our butts kicked in as soon as we walk outside? im not going to hurry and max level my crafts just so i have enough to pay for getting pounded into the dirt next to my portals every 2mins for an hour or so. i dont expect a free ride but im not paying for my own suicide.

i mainly pvp, and only really enjoy it at max level here and elsewhere. but are we going to be stuck with the same realms to fight all the time? if so i wont be on this game very long. out of everything i read about this game i dont recall seeing anything about being stuck with the same servers to fight. as i said i like the pvp, but this is not fun to log onto a bg and be dominated before you even get to fire a shot 20feet down the road, being cannon fodder through no fault of my own. WvW is fine, but would be nice to start a bg evenly then see how it turns out, instead of having it going constantly and never getting to do anything just because i dont log on at 5am or whatever when the people on the dominating server go to bed and give us a break, if they do at all. that alone will drive many people, like me who enjoy pvp, away.

I don’t appreciate busting my a** for over an hour and nearly if not completely dying several times fighting Jormungar, not to mention the repair costs, then search the loot to find I cannot use one da** thing out several items. And on top of that they are blue items.
