Guild Wars 2

WvW in this game is broken beyond the point of no return. anet has somehow managed to repeatedly make this game worse. there are so many huge issues that needed to be resolved months ago. WvW is a joke and cant be taken seriously no matter how hard you try.

OP apparently you didnt read that vague pile of trash blog about wvw they released about a month back or so(or whenever it was, I dont really remember because it literally had no value)

anyways, look it up and all ur questions will be answered

torch 4 seems bugged. it seems that it interrupts itself somehow and goes on the interrupt cd, and other times it goes on the full cd but no burning has been applied and there is no torch throwing animation

doesnt happen every time but often enough to notice it

That could be happening if you try to use it while your back is to your target. A lot of warrior moves do that, and it’s a great way to throw off any move set combo you were building up.

I’ve been getting tons more ‘obstructed’ problems recently with axe and longbow when there’s nothing that would obstruct the projectiles.

i thought about that too, but i’m pretty good about facing target usually and i dont notice it happening on any other skills (dagger 5 for example). also not sure why it randomly seems to give me either the interrupt cd or the full skill use cd

anet has ignored WvW since the betas, don’t expect anything to change now

remove: gw2 from my desktop

add: better mmo’s with competent wvw team once released

easy – you make lots of posts complaining about them being op, and then anet buffs them a bunch of patches in a row, and then i’m not sure what happens after that

Not sure where I said they were op. Mind showing me where?

sure – your entire post

since the WvW team consists of devon and one intern, i don’t think they are coming back any time soon

Parthis.2091:

Devon, can you share anything we may see in the short term? No dates, no time scales, just what exactly is the focus of the WvW development team at the moment? Is a new WvW map planned this year? Or is it on the development plan for next year?

they are currently hard at work to add “PvE Mastery” to the wxp line,

1% more dmg verse pve mobs
2% more dmg verse pve mobs
etc.

not sure about you but im pretty excited

“build and repair mastery” lol its almost like they are mocking us with this terrible content.

meanwhile pvp gets a new map. anet sure likes to fail

the WvW team is understaffed

based on his response, I would say new maps are a year out

SoggyFrog.4170:

Maybe this guy is Devon, he just got the other thread deleted.

I asked if he was devon in that thread, and then the thread disappeared!

you guys got your once-every-3-months obligatory dev post, you should be happy

incoming hotfix in 4 months

Kerotan.8326:

Seriously, did anyone at ANET run the numbers on these titles?.

you are asking if anet put thought or logic towards something wvw related? is that a rhetorical question?

I would hardly count my post as “slamming” him compared to most of the nerd rage posts I see on here

well I’ll say…saying “it won’t happen overnight” in a thread that is 8 months old = bold

DevonCarver.5370:

it isn’t going to happen overnight.

they should probably fix how awful the rank titles are first

do necro marks trigger on downed players yet? i remember they didn’t before but i haven’t played my necro in a few months

arrow cart is the best profession

please keep necro’ing all these old threads, they are full of great ideas for the TESO developers

don’t worry guys, the new group/squad system is 8 MONTHS in the works, so it will be amazing!!

anet has gone above and beyond in ruining their own game, i’m proud of them

this must be some sort of glitch. isn’t ebay only allowed to play against bp and AR? i’m going to submit a bug ticket

his letter was a vague mashup of keywords. nothing is going to change, and if something does change, they are going to kitten it up. history doesn’t lie

Ahmrill.7512:

Major upgrade to their grouping system is sorely needed. Commander & Squad is a poor system in it’s current form. No flexibility for guilds and players to configure forces the way they enjoy. Guild or private squad system is a must.

keep on preachin’…maybe someday they will listen. or maybe the developers for a certain unnamed upcoming mmo will listen

i like how he talked about new maps

Ahmrill.7512:

We also need a way to form “private squads” Allow commanders to hide the pin AND still retain all the functions of the squad system. Allow some control over the size of the squad and control orange swords popping.

at this point, why even bother bringing this up? i think 8 months of silence(see: failure) from anet on this means it won’t happen

this thread will be a great source for depression in a few months when none of this gets implemented

grasshopper.8539:

Thank you ANET for ruining WVW for my server. More then haff our WVW community in Ehmry bay is not playing this week. And I’m not going to play your game ever aging.

WVW is a competition you move up by WINNING and we won!. We where suppose to move up a tier and play new servers this week and we did it on our own!! Thanks for stealing that from us!!!

as an ebay member who frequently follows goldiy around, i completely agree. we EARNED a new matchup. When i saw that we were up against BP and AR again, as in, 3 months and counting now, it took a lot of wind out of my sails in relation to this game.

keeps getting harder and harder to log on

great idea. so you know what that means, right? anet will ignore it for the next 8 months

whoever approved this match up needs to take a good, hard look in the mirror, and then ask themselves, “am I a moron?”

this game is pathetic. combat is laughable(nothing more than zerg aoe button mashing, dont kid yourself otherwise), playing the same two maps on repeat.

8 months after release and they havent even touched the pathetic joke otherwise known as the commander/squad/group system.

this is their first wvw related patch that hasnt made me instantly want to quit, so i guess its a step in the right direction (probably too late for most people tho).

this patch wont do anything to resolve the extreme lack of group/squad/commander/guild wvw functionality tho, its just giving other stuff to distract us

pointless thread. anet does not care about what the community wants for wvw. i have insider knowledge that they are currently investing all of their dev power to revert culling back to its original state in wvw

at this rate, the devs are ruining this game at a far greater pace than the devs of daoc. i commend them for that

no, leave it as is. I personally enjoy stale matchups against the same servers that drag on for weeks on end

I mean….seriously, where did the idea for traps come from in the first place? why did anet feel a REAL need to invest dev time on a new feature that literally no one has asked for?

and now they will waste even more time trying to fix traps, because of course, anet released a feature that was half baked and apparently wasnt tested at all.

i really hope anet continues to ignore common complaints/issues/requests for months at a time, while releasing other things that no one wants. it makes me want to play their game even more.

don’t spend any badges on those worthless traps, save them for ascended gear when it comes out with the expansion pack

kitten, who cares about this trivial stuff? the community has spoken, and we want more TRAPS

we’ve finally made it guys. the forums are officially more fun than the game.

I don’t understand why everyone is complaining. the community has been asking for traps since release, and anet FINALLY listens to us after months of ignoring this huge gamebreaker. you guys just can never be satisfied apparently.

they are working on this, but you have to remember these things take time and dont just fix themselves. give them another 6 months

These traps seem to be getting a lot of very positive feedback. I hope ANET is investing a lot of resources into making this a reality as soon as possible.

I thought that your party was prioritized for boons and heals.

are they? i really don’t know. I thought I had heard that they aren’t prioritized tho.

and yes, communication and seeing party members health/boon status etc is useful, but i guess I’m looking for things that actually help you during combat or something, like more direct effect on your other party members and more group synergy.

targeting is the only other thing i’ve heard here that can definitely be a good part of being in a group in, but really only in certain situations

thats cool and all, but I’m talking about actual gameplay benefits. like as far as i know, boons dont prioritize for party members, right? or heals?

it just seems like there isn’t a real need to join a party

I was trying to think of all the reasons/benefits(gameplay reasons, not social reasons) to be in a party when you are wvwing, and this is the list I came up with:

1. Party members are small blue dots on mini map

let me know if I missed anything here guys
