Guild Wars 2

Great stuff guys.

I would also like to see less arrowcarts they have now become a pain really ,
or give the defending side a shield defence type siege to deploy against them. if you are under the shield (say 5ppl) you are immune to dmg from arrow carts .

I also think that Garrisons should be harder to take but not too sure if that would be popular

So whats your wish for wvw????

I know mine is

1) stop the one hit on keep doors to contest them
2) Buff to Thief’s Stealth
3) new bigger maps

hope you all share your wish list maybe the devs might add some of them into the game in the near future

cheers

As a large community with so many players giving their feedback from so many different countries , it must be very difficult to sustain communication with us. The past chats that the bosses have had only cater to a select few in the community due to the time constraint and the format in which they have held the chats.
Not everyone uses twitter, Reddit or has any time available to jump into a live streaming when the bosses spare the time.

There are so many threads asking questions that never receive answers to , even though the devs say they are reading and taking in our suggestions and our complaints the community feels that they are not.

I think it would be very advantages to all if one of the big bosses had a weekly or fortnightly discussion thread , to communicate to the community on here and show us that you are listening and maybe answer some of the concerns.

Having a thread in here would allow more players from around the world to see that they can have input and know that the dev will read it. I know and understand that there are some players that will troll this so make it very clear that if you post anything disruptive to the discussion a ban will incur in this one thread as it would be better for all to keep it an informative thread.

The big dev can start the topic/discussion for the week but I would hope they would address the communities issues and not something mundane.
Eg- weekly discussion— Skill Balance, what are your thoughts.
Then he could give us feedback as to our concerns ect.

Okies I have rambled enough I hope this makes sense

Cheers Phabby

I am with the rest of the comments ,

Guilds — Halls, capes

Skills— more diversity and duel profession

Loot- More interesting drops, I am so missing the named boss drops and the rare unique weapons as well as the old chest farming from gw1

classes— I misss my monk soooooooooo much

I do love the game ,but given how successful gw1 was over so many years the fundamental basics that we all loved are missing.
Even though this is a new game and new direction that anet has taken surely they must be thinking that they need to incorporate more of the successful parts of gw1 into gw2 before the hardcore fans of the first one are lost to other games.
They say they are always listening to the community and taking our advice yet there are still so many players putting threads like this up and complaints about balance of classes and skills that go unanswered hopefully they do listen and are trying to implement some of the stuff we miss so badly

for some reason on odd occasions the firey greatsword bugs you into a keep when you use the charge skill. not sure if this happened . but very bad play to glitch in then not directly get out without touching anything

Know idea what ddos even is

every thought maybe your just overloading the ts server with everyone trying to get in for reset.

Not that you have that many ppl on (cough stacked) lol

nope I was thinking more along the lines that t1 servers have only the bottom 3 tiers to have an alliance with or It could be randomly generated by anet so that it stays balanced.

lets say T1 spread out over the bottom 3 teirs
T1 winner is allied with 3rd place T9
T1 2nd place allied with 3rd place T8
T1 3rd place allied with 3rd place T7

and so on giving the bottom tiers more players to help out and spreading out the top tiers player base so that queues may be eliminated and giving alot more variety to players as to opponates.
If there is a queue then your given the option of going to the other server to play and help out, or you can just select either servers map to load into.

A small guild in say T1 could then in fact goto the lower server and have an impact were they may feel that in T1 they just get rollonflorstomped, and as well if the lower tier server has an impact guild in a certain time zone , that could fill a slack period,could jump up and help the T1 server

In GW1 we had alliances which were groups of guilds that helped each other out and so forth .

With all the drama with lower Tier’s populations and Q times on the uper tiers, why not introduce an Alliance style format where servers can represent with Allies in a different server. this would effectivly balance a servers q times and bolster a low tiers population and really open up wvw to a whole new level.

Thoughts please share

cheers Phabby

where to start

Nero’s trait line is now stuffed- https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/May-28-post-patch-necro-staff-mastery-bug

wvw Comander tags buged—cannot see commander tag when your in his group

Party — cannot see party memebers when in a group

Siege — golems only deployable siege available (lol was alot of fun though)

game crashes randomly on alot of players.

feel free to add any more problems here guys be easier in one thread then all over the place

barrage.1089:

the only guild that wont run from a fight these days is wahas crew which is annoying cause im usually not on to get his lootbags

ohh this one makes me lol, you don’t “Farm” Waha’s crew they farm you.
Your 20-40 you say you have would be wiped by their 60—100 crew and pugs

Ohh MERC , never run either and we give Waha’s crew a battle everytime that is respected from both sides perspective as the hardest match ups in t1 .

Try and get your guild to stay up late and have a crack at what is possible the best wvw guild on at any time and see what Merc deals with every nite , it would surprise you to see them in action

Kryyg.8576:

It’s hard when BG keeps taking our stuff, quite frankly the fight for 1st is over, it’s obvious BG is just playing for 2nd now.

They are pretending to pressure SoR but are really taking the easy points from JQ. Why should we get into a 1v1 against SoR by ourselves when BG are playing like snakes?

We had a good 2v1 going Fri and Sat against SoR until BG started screwing us over taking our stuff.

Last nite in oceanic we came on to an almokittenlly capped ,by sor, JQBL and everything else and tryed to take stuff off them, instead of going after sor, jq decided the easy option was to hit what we had capped so we defended. Seams taking a t3 object wasnt in jq’s intrest last nite. then Wahaa decide we were a better fight then sor

So you figure that out cause we can’t, since your main aim that has been said time and time again is “WE ALWAYS GO AFTER GREEN”

LetoII.3782:

" The first 2 days of this matchup were quite exciting. I think it’s fair to say, SoR in general loved the double team and we thrived in it, it was very exciting. BG and JQ did a fantastic job Friday and Saturday just concentrating on us, today however that focus is gone. We humbly ask that moving forward you guys renew that focus and continue the double team, do not attack each other, just SoR. Yes, I am asking you to concentrate and just attack us for the rest of the matchup, we really do not care what place we come in quite frankly, but we want the action to be non-stop and exciting.. Lets make the rest of this matchup one to remember"
-Indo

Well I think this is a first, a server asking to be double teamed.

Be careful what you wish for.

with all do respect to BG and JQ we just would like to end our time together with epic fights rather than siege wars.

someone forgot to tell JQ sea ATM that sor were the target , they just seen red and got their blood lust on last nite, which is strange for Atm given sor held mostly everything and they had a full map zerg.

we were so out numbered yet we did wipe them a few times , then Wahaa must of had his secound coffee and then got organised , then no more wipes But anyways I had fun holding bg garri , and the fight for hills was just epic,till the land of nod called me in

Great battles as usual ATM ,it is so much fun playing against you guys.( now go pick on sor they have asked you tooo lol

cheers Phabby

With the consistent threads going on and on about rng/ loot nerfs and the general complaints from people, I was wondering if we could get the Boss into the forums to maybe have a chat about the current game situation and the direction that Anet is taking into the end of its first year.

cheers Phabby

I think the op means bring back the fun of farming to gw2 that we had in gw1.

Gw2 is become very uninteresting to farm anything anywhere as nothing really drops anymore. This is becoming a very big problem for Anet as everyone that came from gw1 was either hardcore pvp or Farmers. The pvpers have there compitions, wvw , farmers are running out of things to do as it has become so hard to get any drops its just not worth playing.

The fact that Legendary’s are so hard to farm the mats for is a joke and not worth the effort since the drop rate is so incredible low for a start.

Then there is nothing in game that is fun to farm for, eg like named weapon drops that were in gw1 or rare/collectibles weapons apart from the dragon chests, which become so mundane of an event to do its not fun in anyway.

There will always be bots /hacks and exploits in every game that some ppl seam to have the need to use, but that doesn’t mean that the rest of the community should suffer from an introduced “fix” to the problem. Anet have done wonders in regards to the bots that were running rampant , but the farmers need to have the fun brought back into the game for the long-term success of the game.

I do hope that the devs listen to the community and come up with a better balance for all.

I understand that Hjorje, however the patch had a wvw update to it, so you can understand everyones frustration that a direct problem with the patch went unaswered for a week when a quick responce and roll back could have been done till they sorted out what went wrong with the coding they implemented into wvw.

Good job again this week Sor,
hope your not getting to burnt out yet with your na staying up well past there bed times into Oceanic/sea times must be getting a little worn out. Not sure how you guys can afford much more gold to pay JQ off after paying for your iron transfer.
Surley you guys dont have enough gold to keep JQ from hitting you this week coming,
JQ has always said they go for green" always ", yet don’t think they have even had 1 go at your Garri all week or even pushed your bl have they? mmmm .
Don’t thin anyone can say bg has been 2>1 this week at all it has been a very fair battle Blackgate > SOQ .

PMSL that should keep the trolls running till reset .
On the honest side Great Job again this week SOR you pushed hard and had massive coverage across all time zones. great to see JQ coming back strong, and we at BG have had great fun in my oceanic time thanks for the massive battles hopefully we come out in force this week across all zones since our little sun-baking hoilday on the lovely beaches at southsun cove is almost at an end.

cheers phabby

umm whats server are you on, cause last nite on Bg server we did a guild event and decided to open Lyssa up for the fun of it all. Sure noone has just done that and it hasn’t reset yet?

Vol.5241:

Orrrr…you can post it directly in the bug forum and state why it happened, when it happened and most importantly if it happened before/after a patch

We did https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/latest-Patch-problems/first#post2059559

Dont you think that is about as clear as you can make it? 4 days ago, and I wasn’t the only one posting threads on 4 different sub-forums, yet they all went by unanswered till today , so I think there is a break down of communication and something need to be addressed

cheers ty for your input

This is more for the Devs

Currently we are seeing with every patch minor problems and some major problems creep their nasty way into every patch, This is a given with this game that we all can deal with and cannot be avoided no matter how great you Devs are, bugs are bugs.

I cannot even fathom what you guys do coding and making this game so enjoyable for us all.

The big problem I am seeing , like with the last patch, that there isn’t a direct thread that we can input into if there is a bug directly related to a patch.
Now before everyone jumps up and down and sayes there is the bug forum go there, that system isn’t working for bugs directly related to a patch.

Eg- since last patch nearly every wvw match up has had one or more borderlands that has been bugged out on lag and disconnects and is unplayable for the most part for everyone. This was complained about within a few hrs of the patch going live and only today was a response given by a dev, even though there is spread out across the forums about 10 different threads all relating to the one problem to get a devs attention, yet not 1 of these threads was acknowledged by any dev for over a week.

There seams to be a massive breakdown of communication here that needs to be addressed , I would suggest that in the Game Bugs forum that with every new patch released you make a sticky thread that would allow ppl to place reports related to a patch in there, that way everyone knows that is where direct after patch problems go and not spread out over 5 different sub-forums, and this would make your job alot easier by having 1 spot to check daily for the nasty little buggs that take over our world after a patch has gone live.

Cheers Phabby

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/WvWvW-Disconnects/first#post2085591

Devs have finally shown up on this prob

ty Devon for a reply finally, you may want to go post here as well— https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Lag-Long-Loading-and-Error-7-11-3-189-101

Since for the last week ppl have been putting in the information as a Dev requested on disconects/lag issues in there and haven’t had a response from anyone there,also there are a few other threads in the WVW subsection of complaints in regards to this problem from the last weeks update.

thanks again for the acknowledgement that your all working on it for us .

cheers

seams the devs are on hoildays as the amount of complaints pm’s and threads on the lag issue in wvw has gone totally unanswered

Since your latest patch wvw in T1 has become a joke with everyone on every side getting massive lag issues and disconnections.

There is a thread in the wvw section but hasn’t had a reply from the wvw dev yet, so I thought i would put a mention on this here.

Please can we get this looked into asap as the wvw community is suffering massively.

ppl have alos add information here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/Lag-Long-Loading-and-Error-7-11-3-189-101.

yet there is no reply as of 2 weeks ago on any of the issues that have been currently log in the last few days.

Warlord.9074:

Sleepyy.1598:

Kryyg.8576:

Does anyone else feel like SoR should break up their NA?

It’s getting tiring now.

Go into one BL you hit CHOO.
Go to another BL you hit FEAR.
Go into another BL you hit TSYM.
Try BL #4 and you get TW.

That’s not even including all the other WvW guilds that they have.

Why should they break up?

Ty btw.

We play on NA servers. We have NA guilds. Your a NA server with not many NA guilds that relies on non NA coverage why should that be our problem. The way I see it we are the normal server here.

Isnt it funny how all last thread that you guys on Sor wanted Eu coverage to BALANCE wvw and thought it was great that now you have 1 that everything is balanced yet your NA is stacked to the hilt , and you all cry if its suggested that just maybe you should take your own advice and and balance out NA for the betterment of wvw T1 as a whole.

Sounds more like you just want the easy ride like JQ had for the last few months and have a stacked server to roll everyone.

wow 11 pages and not 1 Dev comment on our concerns , probably their preferred class that way they can sneak around and watch us all and we would never see them, thats why they won’t address the isssue lol

+1 for the JP to be armistice zone

Just make Golems invulnerably to arrow carts, hell they are metal why is an arrow doing dmg to them in the first place?

JQ Aiming at putting Sor back in there place? SOme of their forum trolls shouldn’t poke the sleeping giant

Well when I was in Southsun ,on Bg, there was 2 guild guys doing the portal for free and they were there for over 1hr porting ppl up and not asking a thing for their time and service.

I had try numerous times to do this jp and failed miserably like normal so I was so thankful to these guys, I gave 1g for their time. I thought this was very reasonable as I would have never gotten that jp finished let alone the sample and they wern’t asking anything just happy to help everyone out. So a big thankyou to them again(wish I could remeber their guild tag)

cheers phabby

Ok so the update has been in for a few days now so has it fulfilled your expectations.

For the new living story ,

I have to say really enjoyed most of the content the only downer on it all is the crab area,I find this not fun at all . The new backpack skins look great and I hope they fix the octopus looking one so it moves in game.For me this living story advancement has been a win and great effort by the Devs ,congrats.

Disappointed in the lack of effort with wvwvw, there has been so many complaints in regards to thief’s and arrow carts and yet this has been ignored completely again, cept for the reduction to dmg to siege by the arrow carts .It really seams the devs have no interest in balancing wvwvw at all and for those that play this pvp content its becoming a very sorry state of affairs.

So the questions still stand on when we will every get Guild Halls and GVG events as this for many is one thing that is missing in Guild Wars 2 that really should have been in the release for its the back bone of the title .

cheers Phabby

Last patch it was stated that a contested point would not be affected till after 30s and waypoints would not be affected.

This seams broken as last nite a thief was tapping our garrison and instanly it was showing contested and the waypoint contested . There was a few of us watching the watergate trying to kill the thief so we know for sure he was doing it and executing the contested point in under the 30s

I hope the next patch you eliminate this tapping of a gate situation as it is a joke that 1 thief can be so annoying with 1 tap of a gate.

why not just make it that the thief can stay in stealth until they have engaged combat.Once combat is engaged they cannot pop back into stealth to hide and regen.

seams fair since when my necro is in combat I cannot run to get any distance from the thief yet they can pop them selves out of my target range in an instant to heal and be in stealth

To the JQ in BGBL last nite oceanic time,

The fight at south bay was amazing fun, you guys gave us Merc a run for our money
but you came up against a Commander at his finest.

You did out number us for the most part till we managed to get some reinforcements in but it was still an amazing fight. I hope you guys had as much fun as we did.

big salute to all that were there and I hope you enjoyed the bags as much as we all did

cheers Phabby

Hey ty for your thoughts guys,

I do wonder if the dev’s have any thoughts to expanding the skill sets, especially the weapon slot skills, or are contemplating allowing a secondary class profession like they had in gw1.

I feel that the lack of playing around with builds is so missing in gw2.

In gw1 there was nothing better then mucking around with the selection of a secondary skill set to make your toon more interesting to play.

I feel that there isn’t enough choice of skills with the weapon setups locked and the rest don’t have enough diversity .

I do hope that the devs will see that this is a point that should be addressed to make the game more diverse to play.

deleted link ty for the advice

Sor’s NA please goto bed when its our oceanic’s time, we have enough bags from FoO but if you insist we will take yours aswell , so much for not having Oceanic coverage hey,

cheers

I am in total aggrement with you Altroll, as a necr you just can’t do anything cept die and it is a joke, a total joke on anets part to allow one class to be at such an advatage as thief’s in wvw are. and they won’t do a thing about it.
No one can say that in a target area in a fight, a class can just steath and heal and thats classed as fair to every other class.

I think one thing anet could do is allow the class to stealth attack mode for first contact, but if they go back into stealth to heal they then cannot attack the target for 1 min and all heals disabled untill they are compleatly out of the combat timer.

But I know all the theif’s will cry loudly ,same as the sin’s did in gw1 when they nerfed Sf, and we will get trolled but really use some logic anet. The thief class was nerfed for pvp the same should apply for wvw as its pvp on a larger scale.

JQ needs more NA prime time Guilds. We can’t even defend / take our own Garrison in JQ BL due to lack of players.

Welcome to GW2 for every server that ever plays JQ at any other prime time.

i was also lol when I seen this post,JQ wins by what 40k+ each week ohh yeah they need more players just because the NA branch can’t do anything. I know tell FoO to get on in the NA time slot then, so the rest of us can have a chance at keeping something we work so kitten hard to get, only to have them turn every map just about green every kitten nite with ease all due to the fact JQ is OVERSTACKED

I see alot of complaints from lower tiered servers in both regards to low population and frustration at being against the same servers week in week out. This frustration isn’t just limited to the low tiers , every one of us gets bored with the same teams against us week in week out , so how about a change by getting rid of tiers so to speak of and combining servers to make it more interesting.
No 1 server combines with the lowest server, No2 combines with the 2nd lowest and so on . this creating 6 servers in a match at a time, giving everyone help where they need it and make it a 2 month tier round robin,where ever week the match ups are different and then at the end have a final match between the top 3 alliances for the rank and prestige. Then start it up all over again.

Any thoughts on this?

cheers Phabby

Ok so after the patch or whatever has been done gw2 won’t download. it freezes the download in a way that it is saying there is no download speed at all . have restarted the modem and computer and I can’t find any other problem.

hope you can help thanks

Basically they are not worth the current gem price you have to pay, for a reward chance of what 1-1000000 for something of value.
If they wanted the sales then don’t have the chests drop, sell them opened in the shop and increase the value of the items for your said cash.

If they have the system in place for the chests as a rare drop , then the only thing that opens them should have the same drop rate, they have enough other stuff within the gem shop that ppl buy, to me it is not only a bad business model but a rip off to any consumer that buys these keys , as you are not ever going to get your moneys worth out of the chests.

Ottyk.1528:

OP, you’re talking like GW2 has been knocking out content for years. It’s still early days, we’ve had literally a month of Living Story content so far. Even if the Tengu WERE to be featured in an upcoming Living Story (which I doubt), maybe you should give Anet longer than 7 months before being disappointed that storylines haven’t opened up yet.

More so I am getting at the fact already in game they had the parts in place to go somewhere with except they go a totally left field direction with the Living Story .Don’t get me wrong in anyway I like new content but I am finding the living story has no real excitement about it at this stage. Maybe there is an end reason with a new dragon or what time will tell.
However just find it very odd that they haven’t run with the parts that are in game that from the day you stumble across you go MMMMMMMM wow this is interesting can’t wait to see what they have install for this, excitement scale 100.

Look just throwing something out there, would not want the buff to be that harsh as I do know what that will cause but currently if you are outmaned it really means nothing as the buff is pretty much useless against a huge zerg,so the idea of buffing the the bigger party does to me seam logical . even if it is like testpig has sugested.

More to the point how does the current buff work is what I am more interested in . Is it up too 20% of the largest team on the map? ,
or do you have to be within 10% of the max team?

Something just dosen’t add up with this buff, if you field 30ppl and they have 60ppl you are still well and truely out manned yet you dont have the buff? So maybey a dev can shed some light on this.

Possible if this is a % thing then maybe it can be buffed higher for the smaller teams on a map and be reduced as the % cap closes.

How does this buff actually work? Last nite we were in JQbl and had around 20-25ppl and still had the buff, I know JQ had alot of ppl in but even so what % does this work at?

Also everyone keeps going on about how to balance why not duel buff with a you are gods mode for the opposing team.

EG- You have the outmannd buff,

opposition causing buff get

GOD BUFF
-25% speed
-40% dmg
-50% supply

That would make things interesting

cheers phabby

okies who rattled jq’s gage ?How they can have so many ppl on is becoming a joke. surely it must be raising some devs eyes as to what is balanced and what is broken, but really don’t think they care much.
Looks like the love affair is over and Sor are finally finding out what BG has had to put up with for so long even when they were teaming up with JQ to stomp us . FoO are fun arn’t they Sor, fiannaly welcome to T1 oceanic/Sea. Hope you have as much fun as we do.

Props to JQ on JQBL hope we get hills back lol been a great fight tonight, shame its bed time for this little black duck.

Why should I have to roll a new toon and do story modes to get a key that should be a dropped item. if the chest drop from all mobs then so should the keys at the same rate .

I wvw alot, so I shouldn’t have to go creating toons just to get a key to open a chest that I get as a drop in wvw .That is in its own right is a stupid set up for any game.

The dropping the keys to a more affordable price dosn’t sit well either, why should you have to pay for something to use on something you get as a drop?

I was hoping that before we got the Living story line that we would get to enjoy exploring the mystery of the Tengu . The closed gate in Lions Arch is a constant reminder of things to come and I can say I am disappointed in not having this story line released and I feel that the living story hasn’t excited me at all.

There is also the closed gate to the crystal desert that I am itching to open .

The karka event and the current Living story line really is disappointing as neither has excited the adventure to explore and i hope that the devs have something more special to come in the next few months to get us out and excited again about this wounderful world they have created.

I think reduce the dmg out put of a zerg within a said radi of say 1200

0-20 ppl = 100% dmg
20-40ppl = 80%dmg
40-60ppl = 60%dmg
60-80ppl = 40%dmg

and so forth, this would give smaller groups the advantage of the mega zergs.
also I agree that siege should have a larger aoe area depending on weather is a superior or normal. Sup Ac’s should have a massive aoe and dmg factor compared to normal ones.

I think the cannons really need an upgrade to their dmg as well ,these siege are the latest in battlements yet don’t really do much when you think of it,if they were buffed to the point where if one hits you your taken down then the defence tactics for these would have to change. Also they should be deployable in the field which would be really fun.
