With this new progression this is a concern of mine. I alternate through my 5 80’s daily, I love to play different classes based on my mood and I have enjoyed not being penalized for that. I fear with this new progression players like me are going to be screwed.
Agree 100%. This PVWALL/PVDOOR crap needs to cease. I just came back to the game after a long break and am amazed how everything is just a karma/xp train now, no one even wants to fight, no one wants to defend, and it is more advantageous to let them flip it then stop them. “Don’t repair the doors/walls!” in EOTM…..huh? The pvp in this game is a flipping joke.
We need objectives to give a kitten about that promote actual pvp.
Anything less than an entire revamp of WvW will not be enough for me. Same old crap it has been since release, can’t believe anyone still plays it personally.
Well Crius, maybe I am too casual to enjoy WvW these days then. I do appreciate the guidance though. Seriously I just want to log in and have some stupid fun, I remember being able to do that before. Perhaps the game has passed me by.
just regular wvw pug zerging mainly, not committed to anything more than that atm. Never heard of metabattle, I will check that out.
Thank you for the elem advice as well, I enjoyed my elem before so will check that out too.
Haven’t played in a year and I am literally melting in seconds out there even with what used to be my goto builds.
I have every toon maxed except thief/ranger….what survivable class/build would you recommend in the current game? I want to be able to be helpful but live long enough to do something.
Before anyone says “Your mad because your server is last”, no, we are first in our bracket for this week, and by and Landslide. After a week of Season 1, I have come to the conclusion that WvW is done for, so long as there are seasons.
I really expected to see the best, show up and play their A-Game. Instead, ALL I have seen is commander keep people at bay waiting for a Flip. Tag, UnTag, Milita, Roamers, Guilds, EVERY single one of them has done the same thing this week. Flip.
I thought WvW was pitting server vs server. Instead it has turned into an Achievefest. 7 weeks of this? Is this going to be 7 weeks of “Lets drain SMC so that we can build walls.” or “Lets not build siege so that they can over run Lords Room”. No one is even trying. All people want to do is get their Achieves, and yet no one is looking at the bigger picture.
It seems that every time ANET adds Achieves, something gets overran with issues. I am sorry to say, but this Season WvW will ALWAYS be like this in the future. People want Titles, Points, Gifts, etc. Putting it into the masses, on the scale of three combined servers, just turns the mechanics of what WvW was, to something else. It seems more PvE then WvW. Zergs walking past another, while map chat keeps saying “Let them cap it, leave it alone!” Really sad to see this go down this way.
The change of Tiered WvW was already bad. ANET said “HEY its GREAT! No more fighting the same people for months at a time!” Now its " If your the top 3 servers, you are guaranteed wins every few weeks, since we will place you with servers that cant even come CLOSE to you in a match up. The logic in that makes no sense. Lets reward the Third place Server a win by placing them against the 4th and 6th place server.
Whats the CLOSEST point spread between the third place server vs the fourth? 100K+ Whats the CLOSEST point spread between the top 3? They have ALL changed rank for all top 3 spots. Has number 4, 5, or 6 even come CLOSE to placing at #3? NO! 5 and 6 cant even take down 4 (Which currently is TC) without losing by a 100-200k. Yet ANETS view is that it makes it fun to TRY and take on a server that beats you by 100s of thousands of points, because its NEW people.
If I may, since this is ANETS view, then why cant #6 play against #13? 13 has no chance to win anyway, but seeing that 6 has played just about every server above them, why not give them something new?
This Event, has just made WvW even worse. First is the illogical match ups. Now is the skill-less Achieve trading. If thats going to be the case…….
Well I am looking for a server that is focused on WvW and not the rush of getting Achieves. Those will come within 7 weeks of playing. If your organized, have people in WvW 24/7 (Not a server that has Peak hours, looking for all around Capping at all hours) then send me a whisper.
Not looking to offend anyone, this is just my opinion. I enjoyed WvW being coordinated prior to the Season. I really dont care for the achievement greed.
Agree 100%. Have not even had the desire to log on in days.
I’m done….with this game.
I cannot stand the way MMO’s introduce carrots in the form of so called content these days. WvW in and of itself has not changed, but the introduction of these achievements has turned me off big time. I really wish ANet would introduce true content changes instead of tossing carrots around for us to chase.
Seems this is the only formula MMO’s know these days, carrots, carrots, and more carrots. But the real problem is there are too many MMO players out there who are willing to chase them.
Such a stupid thing for WvW, keep your achievements.
1. Reason to defend. If I had a nickel for everytime I heard “let them have it” insyead of defending….
2. Longer sieges…goes hand in hand with #1. Stop the flipping back and forth.
3. Make borderlands matter. Make a server WANT to defend their borderlands before all else. If someone is invading your realm you should WANT to kick them out. Make borderlands unique for each server. Make it ours and unlike no one elses, something we can relate to. Make us want to defend it.
The thing that made Daoc great is if the enemy was attacking your stuff you defended it out of pride. No way would you EVER hear someone say “let them have it, we’ll just take it back.” Hell no!
The fact is no one cares what gets taken in this game, and guilds move across servers so much there is no server pride at all.
The all telling knife in the back is Anet put in achievements to make WvW mean something. If that is all you got it this is the best it will get.
WvW is still crap with no meaning to it. “Let them take the keep, we can take it back for more reward”. I am so sick of hearing this crap. You would have NEVER heard such a thing in Daoc. This game is a joke.
People wanted “better rewards and achievements in WvW”, and were incomprehensibly stupid in not realizing what such boons to loot/achievements would do to their ability to play.
You reap what you sow. Deal with it.
Do you people listen to yourselves? Basically you are saying it is our fault we cannot play because we wanted WvW to be better than it was. Talk about incomprehensibly stupid….
And for the record I wanted what WvW is to be improved, not add PvE crap to it.
Who do you think man? You really have to ask?
It is unrealistic considering I cannot even get in WvW.
I also disagree. Many people complained about the lack of accomplishable achievements for WvW. Now we have them.
What good are they when you can’t get in due to 4 hour long queues?
Pick your poison. Seems to me either you play on a BG, JQ, SOR server and get in ridiculous queues, or pick a server below those and be subjected to facerolls every week. Seriously ANet, what are you doing to allow the majority to actually access what is the defining part of the game? Lucky this is f2p.
Most servers can’t fill four maps, why do we need a fifth?
I’m excited about new terrain and possibly new objectives or gameplay, but populations are too sparse already, this will make that problem worse.
Ummm for the one’s that have 3 hour queues?! Does not require a whole lot of critical thinking.
If this were a sub game I would quit in a heart beat. When the biggest part of your game is not accessible to the majority of people that is some fail crap.
The state of WvW is pathetic, and it will only get worse. I can’t wait for ESO to come out, at least they will try.
Anet has made this a zerg or be zerged game. This company better pray Elder Scrolls pvp sucks or this game can go buh-bye. ANEt does not deserve to keep us as customers.
If you find WvW so incredibly unacceptable in its current state that you’re willing to quit en masse, then maybe GW2 just isn’t the game for you? Play the game for what it is right now, not for what you fantasize about it being in the future.
It was the game for them two days ago, and apparently it was the game for 99% of this forum two days ago. It was the game for a not insignificant portion of the WvW-playing playerbase two days ago, as well. If GW2 was never a game that they enjoyed, then maybe I’d agree with you, but that’s not the case.
I find it amusing that the game is suddenly shattered for so many over something as insignificant as a 0-150 point increase in stats. I simply can’t believe that people who honestly and legitimately enjoyed the game prior to the buff are unable to logically enjoy it now. It seems far more likely that they’re simply being disingenuous, for effect.
You cannot understand that this is seen as a move in the WRONG direction? That all it does is pile on the fact that balance in matches was already an issue? This by itself may not be a issue to you, look at the big picture please. A little critical thinking can go a long way, try it some time.
I don’t understand why so many people are going to JQ. Why stack one server in tier 1? Im just going to assume that many of you WvW players are like me and want some good competition between all the servers in your tier. JQ absorbs another guild from a T1 server, damages BG and competition in t1 takes another hit. Makes for a depressing WvW experience. Stay loyal to your servers, if you are in a T1 server then stick with it! You are T1 for a reason, no need to move elsewhere!
This is why this game will always have mediocre “rvr” and will never achieve the level of satisfaction Daoc did. Back in the day if a guild wanted to do this they had to actually reroll to the other side and start from scratch, now all you have to do is pull out a credit card. Realm pride was one of the biggest reasons the “rvr” in Daoc was so good. Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea that if you get stuck on a dead server with crap wvw you can transfer, but it can hurt things to.
The zerg is the problem, period. There is absolutely zero chance to employ tactics when you have a world war z style zombie zerg plowing over you, even if your zerg is close to their strength. The first one to get their 100 overlapping aoe rings down to insta’deth everyone wins. It is absurd really.
I don’t know what woudl have to be done to cut the population on these maps, but I think it would have to be 1/3 what it is now.
It has become terrible, period. Changed from a T1 server to a low pop because I was sick of the zergs, the only difference with low pop is there is 1 zerg, 2 punching bags.
So these are your choices for WvW:
1. Low pop farm all week
2. Low pop get farmed all week
3. 3 way zergfest facemelt…whoever melts first loses
I have yet to see anything in between.
