dont really give a rats kitten about WvW rewards tho, i play cus i enjoy it only thing i dislike is (even tho i dont care) that other game modes are far more rewarding.
all i need is food, if i got food i can play WvW. id like to craft legendary at some point but it just takes me loads of more time cus i cant grind X mobs to drop X item needed for X crafts.
like getting T6 mats is far easier in PvE while from time to time i enjoy PvE also but i get bored quite fast in it
and will bugger off to WvW again.
at the end of everything im glad WvW is not so kitteny tho, i mean u can roll into WvW gear ur self up with some exotic gear and be pretty much on PAR with people that play much longer then u, so i cant complain this is why i like guild wars u can leave 2 / 3 months come back and still be on PAR with people unless u like shiny skins etc then u might wanna farm ur kitten off for some gold/other crap but if ur like me playing pure for them kills and dont care how ur toons looks like ur fine for ever once u got some gear :p

Here’s a few questions :
1. Do you consider that WvW is a competitive game mode?
2. Do you wish that WvW was a competitive game mode?
3. Do you think that WvW can be a competitive game mode?When I say “competitive”, I mean score wise mostly but feel free to elaborate on other parts if you want
Bonus question : How do you feel about losing or winning every week, or having a rating/ranking associated with your server. Do you care?
1) No T1 sucks, all about PPT and lags like kitten when blob is near u cant even play a class that doesnt require 1 11 11 1 11111, so obviously i dont want my server too win and compete with these blobbers PPT kitten.
2) IF server could handle it and WvW score wouldnt be around Capping stuff make it K/D score around keeps/towers/camps count as score so PPT is pretty much over, not so hard to make towers etc wanted when u give tower owner more points for kill or whatso ever tho wvw will never change so w/e :p.
3)Sure if u change alot.
as for your bonus my server can pretty much wipe floor with most EU servers, but good thing is my server doesnt care for PPT so once in a while we end up in T1 (like this week and its terrible) so i hope we lose to face the servers that actually wanna fight without blob the kitten out of each other and having 200 arrow carts bunkered up in their towers/keeps
dont want them at all, i came back to the game when u removed them and now your adding this crap again
.
just dont do it…
they’re really bringing back those BORING old maps
Q.Q
looks like I’ll be the one leaving now! :p
im not sure about the map :p i just heard some people saying they are bringing back the old map and if i would return now.
as for my gear i dont know i have full ascended gear apart from my weapons, tho having people with better gear doesnt bother me that much.
ill just update the game this weekend and play abit and see if WvW is going into right direction again.
Patch notes did look good for wvw (first time i see this ever since i started gw2 )
Thanks for your initiative but in case you haven’t noticed the PPK API is bugged atm:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/api/WvWvW-API/first#post5962863
Aye, this has to be considered.
However, while it looks like he is missing a map here and there, the general direction of the bars should be correct. (Tier 2 Fight Tier Hype)
FSP has always wanted too fight, i have quit long time ago but i guess they still have that mind set even after mass quits on fsp also.
seems piken got hit by mass quitters tho :p used to be nice server to fight with not so much ppt kitten and tons of fighters!
top 3 as far i remember aviod fights like plague, cus who needs to fight when u can PPT all night long, just vanish during prime time hours.
too bad this stupid update ruined whole WvW for me
Warriors and Thief are moaning about no love, please play engineer one year and say it again
play thief for 1 year and see how u go from okay to semi okay to bad to very bad to terrible too kitten class that isnt capable of doing anything.
meanwhile classes that are not even set down as massive dps toons do more dps then a thief could possibly pump out meanwhile these same classes have tons and tons of ways to deffend/survive.
life of a thief, jump in kill if failed ur dead gz.
having 900 range MAX and being as strong as WET toilet paper is beyond amazing, then again im still playing my thief and i still enjoy it. but when i play my lame kitten guardian i just 111111111111111111111111 and walk through complete zerg got 1000 loot bags and repeat. bet i can do same on engineer just use trait lines for perma stab and have fun with flame thrower run in blast like a clueless idiot and run out and watch the loot come in (i guess i dunno ! :p) think a engi has and always had alot more ways to survive then a thief.
tho dont wanna turn this into thief topic only, yes Anet managed to ruin WvW for me also.
Your fault because thief is not meant to 1v1 any class but other thieves.
Also thief role is +1, next time wait for 1 teammate to engagé so you can be his pet.I disagree. I can 1v1 most meta builds. People just need to learn to adapt to the changes. It isn’t a year ago when you can run a glass power build and get away with it.
how did u adapt? the way u play i played 1 year ago, its kitten easy u just dump bleed on em now u even get more debuffs after update, im surprised ur not using venoms to just finish them in a flash of a second.. not every1 enjoys the lame condition build my friend
Im just wondering how many are like me:
-Played 100% wvw & LOVED IT! before the expansion and new maps.
-Can’t handle the new maps becuase they are to big & messy & pve.
-Just play some EB sometimes but… the fun is gone because the maps are empty & everything about WvW just feels….lost becuase of the changes.
-Have actually tested PvE since the expansion but.. well it aren’t so fun as the old-days-WvW.If there were enough players to fill the new maps you’d be having fun.
You compare a map you played for 3 years to the new one.
It’s normal that you feel confused and not accustomed to the layout.
Play this map for 3 years and it will look as simple and normal as the
old one.
nope its not done that yesterday, its still crap all 4 maps had queue and still 2 out of 3 borderlands felt empty.. beside that its impossible to go around as small group now u will not be able to do anything on borderlands if people deffend with same small group.
A) takes years to open something cus of auto upgrade kitten
B) since upgrades are auto most forts have tons of supply inside giving deffenders a hell alot of stuff to play with.
its just not same anymore i fully agree with the guy who started the topic, used to love it now it feels dull and nothing more then event map where stuff gets harder to take every “30 mins”.
im hoping for a change also just farming random stuff in PvE now to kill sometime but eventually ill get bored of that also and most likely will just quit and come back months later to see if something has changed..
tbh its not just the new maps that made WvW dull like i said auto upgrades etc not needing supply to upgrade ur kitten no human interaction to do upgrades etc etc..
the new maps it self are not just to big, some places are forced into stupid bridges or other things where ranged class can nuke from A to B instantly.
and as melee u have to first run over narrow bridge B then go over a kittenty small corner to reach bridge A where the ranged classes are hitting u.
so ranged class can hit w/e he sees while melee have to run all around in order to get a hit off, yes im aware old maps had this also but old maps had most fights on open spots these dull choke spots where not near towers/keeps just a very few spots.
now it feels pretty much whole borderlands have build up out of this stuff, and dont get me wrong i play ranged from time to time also i kittening love it to wreck people like that, but its simply ruins the fun for others.
new maps have more then 1 problem dont blame it just on size the way ur forced to run sometimes also annoys me cus everything is blocked off by either massive wall or deep kittening cliff?(how u say this)
not much will change soon anyway, i dont see Anet changing new maps for old maps i mean they spend tons of time on this and most likely they are proud of the maps thus changing back to old stuff i wont see it happen..
i tink rune of rage is very good for the glasscannon builds for thief
if u trait the trait no quarter with the rune u wil have permanent
250bonus ferocity 20% crit chance and 5% extra dmge in combat the duration of the fury can go to 30+ seconds
using rune of rage on non glass cannon thief simply cus i had no gold to buy pack runes and now that i can get my pack runes back from pvp armor i used em on i dont wanna switch to pack runes anymore i love rune of rage
pack runes i left on my berserker set which i use in pve
rage runes on my valk set for WvW
this is sarcasm right?
actually on a re-read it is an attempt to get a dev to reply, since it looks like they only comment on positive posts, good move.
its not a troll!
u see the new maps have no blobs! and no karma trains either because no1 is actually there? hes 100% saying the truth.
havent done sPvP yet since HoT but in WvW i dont really have problem with em players.. on the other hand is it not possible for Anet to simply add a check box for people too be only matched up with Core gw2 players and not HoT and if HoT players do want to play with the Core gw2 players they just get their kitten disabled and basically play the “old gw2” ?
tho the above seems bit late people paid for it and its not pay 2 win u buy it once and u can do same as em, i didnt bought HoT either but i dont really complain about new elite specs deal with it or buy HoT.
if this would be pay2win then i dunno anymore what pretty much any other mmo is doing nowadays where u kinda find a new item in store every month which if u dont buy it u feel a massive gap between u and the guy that did bought it.
top of that game designers will make that item so u can lvl it up which massive chance to fail in order for you to buy tons of em or they put a time frame on it so u need to buy more then 1 in order to have it up for long long time.. thats pay2win seen it been there its not even funny..
had to buy every week tons of kitten from store in order too pvp if not u would simply get 2/3 shotted while u barely scratched their balls..
now what u prefer 1 time 50 euro or w/e and have fun for years?
or every week 50 euro and have fun for 1 week?
How about instead of bounty based on rank theres a significant bounty based on how long you’ve stayed alive/not died through out the time you’ve been online.
Atm there’s sucha system where you get higher wvw exp from players that havent died for a while, like a killing spree. (atleast there was such a system, don’t know if it’s still there)
That would be kinda interesting for roamers tbh.
On the other hand it would prob. make the bounty players feel the need to stay with larger groups. Then again roamers are pretty good at picking people off
how is some1 suppose to know who has a high bounty based on fact if he stay alive long and killed many people or took alot of objects?
i mean i used to roam quite often but i just picked off who ever was slacking..
if i knew i could finish u off before majority of players could reach u that would be a slacker and a nice target. no chance in hell i could possibly guess that this guy has a nice bounty on his head.
none the less i do like the idea but i doubt it would work out theres always kitten lurking around the corner to be abused
Edit
and based on your idea i would go after all guardians/ele/necro’s since they tag like monsters thus makes them most likely have good bounty no?
hmm i have got
full valk armor
zerk ring, zerk/valk ring
zerk x2 earring
zerk/valk neck
backpack cele
shortbow soldier other weapons valk or zerk depends.
imo run the way u want no1 cares in WvW how u run tbh aslong u dont die in a flash and even if u do who cares ur game ur style enjoy it the way u want.
i dont think many people care much about PvE.
i didnt upgrade nor im into PvE much also so i cant judge but in PvP im still doing perfectly fine with my old thief.
(edited by reddie.5861)
that last build of yours i have been using that ever since patch rolled out where they upped every1 damage, first with S/D now with P/P.
not that much experimental build for me it works perfectly fine when u dont plan to solo roam in WvW but stay around the blob.. even tho it works fine for solo roam also i just dont enjoy it much anymore.
dmg is fine sustian is fine, its not as squeezy as a full zerk thief but u cant expect miracles also, though in 1v1 i win most of em just rangers/necros with pets can win from me especially necro with 100 pets cus of p/p not being able to go tru targets so sometimes they take half of ur dmg into the pets beside that its quite fun to play from time to time.
i always put it this way, when a mesmer pm’s me that im OP and that i can enjoy my P/P for 1 week till Anet nerfs it then its good no?
Now, one thing I don’t like about the above guide is he says that scepter has “weak auto attacks”. That’s a lie. Scepter air 1 is the most powerful auto attack in the game. That’s because it keeps stacking damage the longer it goes without interruption. Even at lvl 80 in good gear, the first hit will do under 300 damage, but by the 3rd or 4th cast, you’ll be doing easily over 10k per tick and you’re ticking 3 times a second. When I’m in a group with lots of might and such, I regularly see my ticks going over 30k each and I can keep that up for a long while. That’s 100k damage per second from your auto attack. Weak auto attacks…PAH!
Scepter AA damage only adds up visually. Check combat log for proof.
There must be some weird bug with it in the Heart of the Mists. If you go out into the world and start hitting stuff, you will see that the hp of your target starts dropping faster the longer you run the ability. And I mean A LOT faster. Such a huge difference that it’s hard not to notice. Trust me. I’ve been running it almost exclusively since Fresh Air came out.
that doesnt make sense lol, that means if u keep up the attacks at some point u 1 shot everything..
its like the guy says
10 hits
each hit hits for 10 dmg
on your screen youll see 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 etc..
while your combat log shows correct values of 10 10 10 10 10 dmg each hit.
this is like on my P/P thief i can do up to 60k of dmg in matter of seconds spread over multiple mobs/players but if i look in my combat log it shows separated dmg logs..
imagine when thiefs or other people who have channel skills start hitting people for 50k+ cus they keep channeling their stuff perfect
