Still waiting for reset to fix Orr. Technician Otto despawned so events not running.
technician think name is Otto despawned and event wont finish.
Pentitent/shelter bugged out right after the last reset.
Dungeon running is huge cash. Spvp no repair bill for dying. WvW unless you just follow the herd and flip camps is a giant cash sink. They need to allow karma and/or badges to be used for upgrades. No other aspect of the game cost you money to do.
when i first hit 80 i had about 150k karma saved up, the first thing i did was go and buy invader’s rare quality gear from a WvW vendor, also today I just bought an accessory for 200 badges, did you not know these existed?
Not quite sure what your refering to since you quoted me then went on to make a totally differnt point. My point was allowing you to use karma for upgrades.
Maybe there’s such a thing as being “too” dedicated to your server. I mean if you balance out your time so you’re making money some of the time and spending money some of the time, instead of doing the “right” thing all the time, you’ll probably be better off financially.
You spend some time flipping camps, which helps your side anyway, you spend a bit of time with the zerg, you build up your resources and then you spend them on whatever upgrades you want. It’s actually part of the game.
No one should have the money to freely upgrade all the time.
The OP suggests the WvW is a cash sink because he plays it in the way which is probably guaranteed to make the least money, while at the same time putting down the ways in WvW he could make money.
Seems to me this is a problem more of perception than of reality.
I do all those things and I upgrades as well. If they made upgrades cost karma instead of cash it would end the cash sink to wvw since your gaining karma flipping camps anyway.
That’s actually an interesting idea. Maybe you should throw that up in suggestions.
I did and i got like 20 views and 1 reply.

what is this anyway? another “we need dragons and guaranteed rare chests in wvw” thread again?!? Dude, if this game doesn’t appeal to you, please return to wow.
Try reading my post before you respond because that’s not what I was saying.
If people start making money playing zergball then Anet will just drop the DR hammer on it.
huh ?? I’ve made 150g during the last 2 weeks of wvw. Best way to make money as for me it’s not boring, unlike cof etc.
Did you make 150g while buying siege and upgrading or just following the herd flipping camps?
Thats only if you look at wvw as just flipping camps. If Anet wants to turn wvw into that its going to become boring fast.
Its a money sink if your that guy.
I don’t know, most I’ve ever made in a dungeon run is like 50 silver and I wouldn’t do it again because it wasn’t fun. Don’t WvW much because that’s only fun for the first few zerg/pvdoor battles and then it gets boring, so I don’t see it as a big money sink. For me leveling characters is the biggest money sink.
People do CoF speed runs in like 10 minutes and if they are willing to do it over and over you can make good money.
Yeah and people are willing to treat a game like a job, that’s their problem.
The point is you can spend hours in dungeons and make cash. You can spend hours in WvW and go broke.
WvW is not a money sink unless you are a commander or you waste siege.
I guess you have never done an upgrade then.

The point is there is no motivation for people to sit at a camp but tons to follow the mindless horde bashing down gates. 13 structures plus quaggons to manage on a borderland map and there is more reason to let them flip then to defend them. If you let them flip you get Wxp to get them back and I dont want to hear about the greater good of the server because that isnt going to happen. People do stuff for the prize nothing else and right now the only prize is wxp.
With one patch they have turned wvw into whack a mole.
If they are going to add skills that help take camps they should add defender skills that buff the camp they are in.
the rate badges drop wouldn’t make that possible.
The new wxp ranks make it even easier for 1 or 2 people to roll a fully upgraded camp before you can respond and no one will sit at a camp while their friends are in vent bragging on being rank 20 or 30 while they are rank 5.
Anet has made upgrading pointless. They give new skills that help solo and small group be able to take camps at will. WvW is the only thing in the game that requires large amount of money to do. Take out cash cost of upgrading if your going to make them mostly useless.
Making it where just taking a camp, tower or keep give not potential only as you upgrade it does it start to give potential points but give more pts for structural then service upgrades.
They need to do something to encourage defense.
People que dumb stuff now regardless.

I never said giving wxp for upgrades so try reading before your talking. I said not having camps give potential points until the upgrades are done but i can see where people would do services to gain potential points.
Make it that just taking camps, towers, keeps or SM gives no potential points at first. Only by upgrading them do they give potential points.
Tier 8 kept crying that they were tier 8 and anet was doing nothing to get you out of the bottomless hole you were in. Now they throw you guys a bone and you cry about it. So be careful what you wish for.
Why do people log in here to make post that they are bad at mmos? If your bad at mmos then dont play them. Dont complain that its hard and it sucks and that your sorry you came back. We are sorry you came back too.
Have a way to tell what guild and name of guild leader thats claiming something in wvw.
So you made a post about the winning team winning? Are you that bored or just dont understand the word WIN?
mmmm dat double fun sauce..
baby you know I like it.
Anyway,
Might take one of AR’s advice and just chill for a week.If ALS can do it, we can too. c:
Play for the fun, not for the win ^__^
Difference is we played for fun and got 2nd. You will “play for fun” and be distant 3rd.
try tarnished coast they have it open alot. Guest around and look for who has temples unlocked just make sure you port to safe place before you log out.
The problem is most people see supply camps as karma farms. Letting them flip just means you can come back in a few minutes take them back and gain more karma. Swap maps and keep it going. Its the pve nature of camps thats hurts them. Probably would be counter productive but putting DR on camp karma farming would stop that along with better rewards to defending them.
Would love to use karma but would never happen.
Give the ability to put in ticket if you accidently bought the wrong piece of gear from a vendor.
I was wondering if you accidently buy the wrong item from a vendor if you can put in a ticket for an exchange or are you just out of luck.
If a higher tier server got put into T 8 to mix it up or you guys got moved up to mix it up you would get crushed and then would complain about unfair match ups. Each tier is where it is because thats what your current coverage allows you to do. If you dont have an alliance form one. If your not using TS, vent, mumble… start using it. If your doing all this and your still T 8 then thats just where your server is and only thing you can try is going into Spvp and talking to those guys or trying pulling the pve people into wvw. Take your major guilds and do events in Orr and recuit while your there.
Could you let us buy siege with karma. WvW community by far has the largest cash sink in the game. The other option is to increase the drop rate on badges of honor.
Make them account bound and put a hotbar that lets you place them without digging in your inventory for it.
@MaximeP
Thank you good sir!
I misssed those kind of post. Plok was a bit quiet lately, and Rob didn’t drunk post for a while. (I still love you Robert :P)
Each morning, we have a meeting on Anvil Rock. Just to remember everybody to focus only on NSP, because we have such a good reliationship with BP! We wouldn’t want to destroy that.
We shall now change our tactics, since “Anvil Rock is running to get a bad reputation on WvW right now”. We wouldn’t want that. Who dare attack a server that is already under attack, that is so low! It should never happen in a 1vs1vs1.
;)
Is it sarcastic(which I think it is, I hope so) or you just reveald that AR are teaming with BP against NSP?
In my previous posts I only tried to get you see that by attacking NSP locations that are already attacked by BP you aren’t getting points. If AR had a real tactical sense, they would attack on BP Borderland to cut their points gains.
My posts contained a bit of whinning I have to allow it, but right now I’m trying to make you realize that AR looses its time to capture NSP locs. If AR would attack BP, so NSP could somehow recap their land and by the way cut BP point gains by the way.
Getting strategy from the losing team is never a win.
Why are Anvil rock always coming in our back when we are already struggling holding our Border land from Borliss Pass? We can call it Double teaming… AR are you even enough brave to attack Borliss Pass? We can’t call it fairplay. As far as i’ve seen on Eternal, AR are also using Backstabbing tactics… As far as i’ve seen your gameplay, you don’t worth any respect.
So your complaining about pvp on a pvp map? If you were winning your wouldnt be complaining. And as far as respect you have to be kidding me. NSP was one of the original flying orb hack servers.

Part of it comes from the vagueness of some of the infraction post I have seen. It seems too much like a form letter then a response to a particular situation. I realize you have to look at alot of post and make quick decisions on what is appropriate and not but clarity helps people understand exactly what they did wrong.
If we dont get responses from moderators about things that happens in wvw how are we to know if your just ignoring us or working on a fix at some later time. Plus putting things on forums lets the people on that server know who is doing stuff so they can watch for further exploits and reporting them.
I think they should ban the guy that created the recipe in the first place.
Can we also ban the guy/girl/people who made a bunch of Giver’s items that don’t do anything?
Might as well ban the people who made Lost Shores along with them
It would be a good start.

He must play on the zergs are us server. Bring 100 people to take a supply camp.
They need to put Phinx event back to where it was and work on how the events chain together. You do an event and hope the next part kicks in then sit there disappointed when it doesn’t. You advertised dynamic events as part of end game and its been 6 months and it still a complete mess oh be we have fractals and monthly events.
AR and NSP would make a monster of a combined Server…AR has the incredible “Daytime” Presence, while NSP has the incredible “Nightime” Presence. You guys should seriously consider combining your forces and give the Tier 5 Guilds a rude awakening…(And Kaineng a huge surprise!)
Just love watching the points during the day shoot up for AR, then at night everything belongs to NSP.
NSP has good US morning-afternoon/evening numbers but at night it has struggled after ~10PM US EST. Even that night time presence on a weakened DH server seems to be better. If anyone saw the potential points breakdown/NSP borderlands about 5-6hrs after reset on opening night and the 2v1 thoughts/accusations coming from the outmanned NSP players at that time, you know this to be true.
Considering that pretty much the only wvw guilds left on NSP are the ones who won’t leave regardless of anything, the guilds on AR/DH who want to move (back) up in tier should consider coming over. (:
We only have queues (for a couple minutes) at reset for our borderlands and EB. And usually it is a struggle just to start the breakout event in opposing borderlands because there is no one there. We also are lacking in commanders/leadership outside of EB these days (not counting randoms who have bought the commander tag and just wear it on occasion to get pugs to follow them when they feel like taking a camp/tower).
Think about it.
tldr: Come on over. Free loot.
