Guild Wars 2

Rally from downed state is tearing apart the WvW community, because guilds are rejecting other players who want to follow due to this mechanic.

Also why doesn’t crossed swords appear when attacking a keep with battering ram? Yet a few people hit the door and crossed swords appear, makes no sense.

Yes support and healing needs to be rewarded.

It is because there are too many players on screen at one time, fix is limit amount of players per map possible and/or join one of the bottom ranking servers where less people play WvW thus smaller zerg size.

Only fix I can see is lower the max population per map for each server. Maybe 45 max I don’t know, split the map up into smaller areas with less people. It may take a total revamp of the WvW, right now it isn’t the best. I mean my server seem to lost some WvW guilds or players and now we are outnumbered against out current opponent. About all you can do is run around taking objectives until the larger zerg finds you.

Being able to attain top level gear without having to grind dungeons with elitist jerks, this is priceless.

Ah ok thankyou!

Suppose to grant an increase in Toughness to nearby allies. I equip this trait and stand next to a few people in WvW and it doesn’t show up as a boon. Checking my Toughness I didn’t notice any increase with using it either.

Is this broke or am I not understanding something?

I like my Chardian color combo black, gold, blue along with his sword is purdy.

I love helping people, even in a game like this. Although you have to time it out right and not try to rez someone in a bad situation where you both end up dying.

Team stealth to me is worse than a thief annoyance. A team appearing on top of you out of no where with instant massive lag and 10000 status conditions on you, oh what fun.

Yak’s Bend wants you!

Fix is simple, limit the amount of players per map from each server. Those on larger servers will just have to wait in que, or move to a lower pop server. They could also add more maps to accommodate the lower players per map. It won’t work perfectly but I think it would help, it would also help on the lag.

Ranger and the longbow. Build for power and crit ignore pet tree completely.

I would say its a symptom of the games design of not having real support, tank, or healing classes. Only thing that really mattes is burst DPS in most situations.

With this game it seems CPU clock speed is the thing more than how many cores you have. Big WvW fights though, probably will bog down anyones machine. Turn of Post Processing, and things that will help some.

Here is my list:

1. Everyone else
2. Me

Profession, gear, moon phase, it doesn’t matter the list stays the same.

I like you sense of humor :P
Some days I feel like that too.

No you can’t change the damage and defense output based on the outmanned buff, why? because small skirmishes say 5 on 5 would be unfair, while the one team has the out-manned buff and gets a stat bonus the other team doesn’t, and in that fight, it would not be fair. The orbs created the same problem only worse as it gave the bonus to the team with more players, thus orbs were removed for good reason as their buff was destroying WvW.
Boosting attack and defense with zone buffs is just a bad idea period.

Wrong, all this means is now large guild zergs will rule and that is it period. The commander tag gives a PUG and smaller guilds a chance to do something.

Get over it, this game is about army size nothing will change that but to limit the amount of people per man per server.

Well this isn’t useful for us to keep out PC clean and even at that I doubt it will give you that much of a FPS boost, I think it was probably a different driver or somethine. Win 8 I can see being crap, newer isn’t always better. Same goes for Nvidia drivers, I downloaded the newest Nvidia driver and I lost FPS in WvW compared to the older drivers.

Here is my solution, don’t do jumping puzzles.
I never liked jumping games as far back as the NES days, I avoid doing most of them unless they are easy ones.

Like some others said, lower wvw map population levels, helps with unbalance and helps with lag. It may make people switch to lower pop servers to avoid que times.

Might not hurt to make an additional map or two for wvw.

I’m in a guild just because they invited me, but usually I don’t do anything with them, just WvW pugs and random PvE pugs.

Wait what about fat people? there are no fat people on the game?
Seriously just use a female Norm, they look human anyways and are super tall and just as pretty.

I probably played against you being on Yak’s more than once, thanks for the fun. May Jesus take you home when the time comes.

Basically thieves are the GW2 built in cheat class, if you are really bad at PvP, then use a thief.

Not sure what you are looking for:
Rangers bows are fine, in fact they boosted the damage on the long bow with a faster #1 attack speed, and the short bow range was nerfed but I think they raised the actual damage. If you can’t do well with the Ranger in ranged combat, then you are doing something wrong. The single target ranged burst damage of the Ranger is excellent.

I am surprised Ranger is ranked bad in WvW, I load up with lots of kills with my Ranger in WvW, but I am not pet focused either.

Seriously people like you make me ill, this “political correctness” crap needs to stop, it is suppose to be a free country with free expression. Grow up, it is part of life, I agree name calling of any kind isn’t nice, calling someone “stupid” is just as bad as anything, but that is just how it is. I’m sure you never said anything bad to someone in all your life have you?

Not really. Healing and support gives you nothing. So most are going to DPS. Armor doesn’t mean much in wvw in all reality, just how well can you escape and block damage.

I hope they make some maps without all the stinking cliffs that make travel a royal pain in the dupa.

Wow I never knew about this, yes it is a very very very bad idea, and yes it can hurt the community in wvw and is also a built in easy cheat system for the lame players.

Ok sounds like veil, but What is the limit per portal anyways? or is 20 the limit per portal?

Always wonder, is this the mesmer portal? but there must be a limit to number who can use it
the mesmer stealth field?
and/or just lag?

I was never sure what exactly is going on. By the time you see them you have 10 status ailments on you.

PariahX.6970:

Only limited time free transfers at the same time they lower map the caps (which desperately has to be done because the game is currently unplayable in large zerg on zerg battles on top tiers). Please, please for the love of my number 1 key please lower map caps in WvW to something the hamsters can handle.

Agree 100%, these over the top zerg sizes make it unplayable. Lower the cap per map, long ques means people will want to transfer to lower pop servers instead of waiting in que. Maybe add more servers at some point if needed.

Posted this in WvW forum but this may be a more appropriate place.

Extra reward to the 2nd and 3rd place teams in each match for attacking the 1st place team objectives. What kind of reward, not sure, possibly: more points on the next tick, more exp, karma, gold, tokens, or all the above. This would encourage the teams to focus on lead team instead of beating on each other because the 1st place team is so much stronger in numbers. Kind of make a alliance without really being an alliance.

Of course the team who does win the match up for the week should also be rewarded for their accomplishment.

How about for each match the two teams in 2nd and 3rd place get a bonus reward for attacking and taking the 1st place team objectives?
Whether this reward could be more gold, karma, exp and/or more points in next WvW tick is up to debate.

This may encourage the 2nd and 3rd place teams to concentrate on the 1st place team more often creating a bit more balance.

Of course a good reward should be given to the winning team that week as well.

For example:
This week Yaks Bend, Crystal Desert, and Maguuma match up.

Maguuma is in 1st place, Yaks Bend and CD get a bonus for taking Maguuma objectives while Maguuma remain in 1st place.
If Yaks Bend Heroes overtake the evil Maguuma villians and Yaks Bend moves into 1st place, then now Maguuma and CD get a bonus for attacking Yaks Bend.

It is important that the 1st place team is rewarded well enough for holding 1st place though to make up for this loss of bonuses the other two servers will get for attacking them.

Just an idea I thought might work.

All Anet has to do is look at how the Rogue in WoW uses stealth, or even the witch hunter in Warhammer online, and try to copy that system.

It happens because one server has the other out manned by such a large amount it just turns into a wipe, so they focus on the other losing server with smaller zerg size.

To top that off there isn’t any real incentive to win the match, I already suggested a reward for winning, and Anet says they have ideas in the works.
Of course many kiddies on here whine without thinking they don’t want rewards for winning servers.

LOL yeah and the only profession with perma-stealth, I’ll trade you perma-stealth for 1200 ranged weapon.

Dog.1472:

I like most of the changes, but the one that shocks me is ranger. They utterly destroyed the class, which wasn’t great even before this epic nerf.

LOL they increased our bow damage and nerfed pets a tiny bit, sorry but I love the patch with my Ranger.

Personally I like the patch using my bow focused ranger, pets in WvW were borderline useless anyways, so the increase in bow damage is great.

I only have a low level Eng, but I kind of like using it so far, aoe, easy to use, goes through doors in WvW and seems to almost intimidate people having a flame thrown at them.

fadeaway.2807:

Well the good news is that they fixed zerker.
The bad news is that nobody uses phantasm specs anymore anyway.

Really? I guess my name is nobody then :P
Daing kids now days bunch a lemmings, can’t think for themselves. (grumble grumble)

Removal of portal bombing.

Azaruil.3406:

So everyone jumps onto servers that are more likely to win and A-net gets less money from people buying gems. Doesn’t sound like it would work too well.

Well that already happend (happens) with free transfers, plus you shouldn’t play the same servers every week either. There are multiple matches of 3 servers going on with multiple winners, if one server keeps on winning, well guess what, they get bumped up into a harder bracket. The only problem I can see would be top 3 stagnating in the the same winners and losers.
Gems or whatever reward I was just tossing an idea, not sure what is a good reward, maybe chests or luarels, whatever, but a reward system I think is a good idea overall.

That’s actually a cool idea, although it is mainly a cosmetic thing. I’d kind of like them to speed up the animation by a factor of about 2 times as well.

Really all they need to do is nerf the stealth and the rest is fine, longer cool downs or whatever.

The server that wins for that week gets gems as a reward.
Gives a final reward and for Anet, it may actually encourage people to visit and use the gem store more often.

Maybe this was suggested before, but what about adding fishing as a gather skill.
This game has such beautiful locals to fish at, I think it be a nice idea.

Could possible have it where you can snag rare and epic items, equipment, etc

Well without the Tank, DPS, and Healer roles not really being in this game, the content and depth of anything is limited. Since everyone is DPS in all reality the only thing that matters, content depth/ game depth (character development) I think is limited because of this.
