Guild Wars 2

I enjoy Guardian/Dragonhunter for most all of the game modes.

Hi,

First, it is great that you have your priorities set and that your education takes precedence. I commend you for this dedication!

I also have a heavy real life schedule that doesn’t always allow for more than an hour of playtime. I also play another game besides GW2, so my available play time is often split. This means I don’t get to play GW2 everyday, or for very long at a time, and yet I still find enough time to do the things that bring the most enjoyment.

Don’t stress or rush it, just play and have fun

they had to make the change at some point in the week. better mid-week than on reset day.

no surprises because they have been communicating these changes exceptionally well, with feature posts and polling the community.

what more do you want?

wvw is not dead and i love it! i am happy with most of the recent changes (reward tracks rock!) and that they have been adding them a little at a time so that we have time to thoroughly vet them before they are made permanent, or not.

didn’t like the old way of no communication, and then a ‘surprise!’ dump of changes that would often break stuff.

zedapoc.1493:

Come on guys and gals, can’t we all just be happy that it’s 2013 and wvw population is healthy enough to necessitate 6 commander tag colors?

it’s 2013?! we have quaggan lake back? \o/

don’t like raiding, will not raid and shouldn’t have to raid to get a rinse-n-repeat spirit shard forging XP bar.

They shouldn’t be tied to mastery points.

i love every aspect of it! every little thing. i also love that as a ‘dirty casual’ with limited game time because of my cool career as an engineer, i was able to finish all of the map objectives and achievements in a reasonable amount of time, rather than with loads of grind.

IndigoSundown.5419:

I don’t mind mini games being in the game. I do mind the stand-in for leveling being gated by them. They ought to be rewarding enough with intrinsic rewards that people who like that type of thing feel rewarded for doing them.

^^ indeed, and agreed ^^

otherwise, i don’t mind them in-game

What about those of us who like it ‘as-is’, and would rather development resources be spent on new stuff instead of revamping old stuff. We’ve had enough revamps the last 4 years.

It is times like these that I really wonder why, after 4 dedicated years, as a veteran, we can’t have all 5 skins. Why, why, why? I mean, what would be the harm? We’ve been here, supporting the game for 4 years! Let us have all 5 skins.

That is all.

the reworking of systems and such (that we don’t care about or ask for) kinda reminds me of this DIY art restoration… where the original implementation, even with a few bugs, is most often the best version, but ‘someone’ feels the need to mess with it regardless:

X T D.6458:

-Allow party members in squads to have different nametag colors then the rest of the squad to let party members have better positioning and coordination.

-Allow commanders to be able to change tag color without tagging down.

-Change the way contesting waypoints currently works, sneezing on a guard should not make a waypoint unusable for 3 minutes, especially when it takes hours to build it up.

-Implement the Marked effect for SMC upon capture.

-Remove Dredge turrets, these things are just an annoying distraction that offer nothing, and just randomly cause swords to appear on structures, and can inflict an annoying daze on you when trying to fight. At least don’t let them respawn.

-Remove mercenary camps in EB, and change it to something similar to bloodlust.

-Move the Overgrown Grub away from Blue Keep, it needs to be far out of the way.

-Give an option to Remove, reduce the size of, or move the capture popup message (the text is fine), it is incredibly annoying and obstructive, especially when trying to fight a large zerg and the game thinks its more important that a supply camp was taken…

-Implement safeguards against tactivator trolling, the current method of limiting it to only guild members is not a reliable or preferable solution.

-Rework the siegecap, being able to build an ac every 5 feet, or 6-7 catapults/rams next to each other is not a good design. Siege itself needs a complete rework.

-Shield Generators need tweaking, one shield generator should not be able to completely negate the damage of multiple hits of siege in a consistent manner, either reduce the effect or increase the cooldowns.

-Rearrange tactivator levers so they are not right next to npc’s or nodes which make it very easy to accidentally interact with the levers and waste them.

-Remove the nodes, some people just go into wvw to farm them, same problem as crafting tables.

-Add crafting tables to HoTM, or create a sort of WvW lobby in Obsidian Sanctum with a condensed crafting station, tp, merchant etc.

-Ability to get HoT stat ascended trinkets without having to do pve raids.

-Reward Track to get ascended back pieces.

-Sort the consumables offered by the Permanent Portable Provisioner, it can look like this…

Utility
————
————
————
Magic Find
————
————
Power
———-
———-

-And of course PLEASE FIX THE LAG, to much skill lag, dc’s, freezes, and lockups.

-Fix the bug where you get stuck in place, really hate having to use the /dance emote in front of an enemy blob

-Fix the waypoint loading bug, that also causes rendering issues like your weapons and spell effects not to display. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago where my character was completely invisible! I literally played for hours not being able to see my toon.

-For reward tracks that award a piece of gear and ascended mats as the final reward (Heart of Maguuma track for example) allow the gear to be chosen separately in a different box, so we can get the materials without having to choose a piece of gear we might not need right away.

-Fix the bug that allows CoR to hit through gates, it is still broken.

-Fix the bug with Presence of the Keep where it doesnt take effect and prevents extra supply from being picked up.

yeah, i re-quoted the whole enchilada because this list is what i dream of being implemented! this thread is where the dev time should be spent, not with messing around with stuff (siege, repair hammers) we haven’t been asking or wishing for, for years.

nope…. no more siege needed in WvW, thanks.

need to work on QoL and siege balance if anything.

I just want more ‘pants without flaps’ options! It’s been nearly 4 years we’ve been asking for more pants… and all we get is more gliders.

Yes. Please don’t show cleavage on my cat-cows! (or asuras)

It looks as ridiculous as this…

Why is this topic in the WvW forum? This should be moved to the general or suggestion forums…

Please don’t mix PvE in our WvW.

Skynet.7201:

…
Speaking of gizmos and gimmicks – the “new” HoT guilds.

A lot of small guilds and solo scout/defenders had their WvW worlds ripped apart when the “new” guilds came out, and every upgrade they had, or worked for, pretty much deleted and was all for nothing (this also affected me and my guild sieges in my personal guild).

Of course those of us that spoke out got gang stalked by fanboys telling us to suck it up and join a REAL guild, that GW2 wasn’t meant for 1-2 people in a guild, blah blah blah. If that were the case, then GW2 would have had a minimum membership requirement, no?
…

^^THIS! is another frustrating thing that gripes my butt about the post-HoT state of WvW.

Thanks for saying exactly what I feel about this change Skynet! I had to login just to +1 your post.

the epic fights

pre-HoT WvW maps and mechanics + WvW abilities & rewards tracks = greatness

stealth mode overhauled…

i want to look like a flying squirrel… or cat

that is all

I will be a heck of a lot more cautious with giving this company any more of my hard earned money. $100 was way too much to spend on an unfinished expansion. I love certain aspects of the game, but can’t afford to spend any more money on it until they deliver all the things they promised for this expansion.

Still waiting for more than 3 new legendaries to choose from, the WvW overhaul, etc.

I will not pre-order again, and just wait until the next expansion goes on sale before buying it.

Hi Reiji,

I’ve enjoyed running around with you in EoTM and having lots of fun. You bring lots of sunshine to EoTM that allows this WvW’er to escape the darkness that has descended upon my favorite game mode because of the lack of support coupled with a series of poor decisions regarding WvW for a very long time now.

So, a big thanks to you for fostering fun and all the cookies!

I really enjoyed your post

Cheers to the mini ones!

Answered prayers incoming….

Agreed. Data should be plotted in some sort of visual format that is easily digested. Perhaps a pareto or histogram would work?

PvE peeps don’t need to be looking for PvE things to do in WvW to get interested in WvW.

100% support the OP! Remove this daily vet slayer thingy from WvW!

Good times! Good times indeed!

The times are good for Friday night reset. \o/

I am also a member of this fine ‘zero precursor since launch’ club! I have 2 legendary weapons only because I bought the precursors for them. Each one took about a year to earn the gold to buy the precursor and all the mats to craft.

So, yeah. Not a club I willingly joined… just unlucky enough to meet the membership requirements!

They just need to revert everything to how it was at launch. I had the most fun in WvW with the original systems (minus the orbs).

Then they need to improve the rewards and let WvW-ers earn ‘all the things’ we have to PvE for… in WvW.

That is what they should spend time on now. Not an entire revamp. WvW didn’t need a revamp, it only needed a little tune-up.

This is a great, and much requested change! But, ANET missed an opportunity to share a little bit of good news to the WvW community with this change by not posting it on the WvW forums. I just… can’t… figure out why they didn’t think to mention it in the WvW forums.

1>> Bring back Friday night reset and the Alpine borderlands maps (or re-design the Desert borderlands maps to be more like the Alpine maps, and rotate both types of maps as part of the weekly match-up rotations)

2>> Remove all PVE events and PVE farming for WvW related activities. Let WvW earn mastery points, and turn on auto-loot for WvW! If any game mode needed auto-loot, it is WvW! No gimmicks, just fair fights!

3>> Better rewards (loot, gold, etc.) for WvW’ers! We have suffered poor rewards since launch. WvW was supposed to help with earning ascended gear, but I’ve only had 1 ascended piece drop in over 2 years, and no exotics, and no precursor (even since launch, but that is another topic that makes me want to break things just thinking about it…).

4>> Population balance.

5>> Skills balance and stability fix.

megaserver millions…

is it ‘ego’ or ‘ethno’?

Aarean.5398:

Everyone wants tights these days. Not seeing enough butt i guess haha

Actually, we pants wearers are tired of dresses and skirts and long coats….

3 game modes, 1 happy cat…

I vote for taking waypoints out of the map exploration equation and just leaving it to POIs and vistas.

Anet has a great solution: block, report (if necessary) and move on.

One question… why does the ‘economy’ guy have such interest in how badly the megaservers are functioning?

count my vote for restoring the Alpine BLs!

I’ll add my ditto to this list too! In fact, I want all of the gliders available without the ‘bundle’.

When will we be able to fish?

brilliant, just, brilliant

well played sir!

i saw a scorp pet named ‘doom buggy’

where is all the cheese that goes with all this whine??

seriously, in all fairness, please let ANET fix their game so that all can play.

^This nails it. Thanks Wing

All fine and dandy until this sentence: “With greater risk comes greater reward.”

Just once, I hope this means no RNG based rewards because if it does… well, let’s just say I’ve never received a Tequatl cache or mini or anything but that spoon in all these years of playing since that revamp. No more blues and greens from world bosses, especially those that require additional time to setup before the event. I don’t have that kind of disposable time to waste trying to have fun in a game. And, yes, good rewards for time spent is my kind of fun in a game environment.

I do, er… did, have a problem with it. Just got tired of complaining about it and moved on.
