Guild Wars 2

I think if they would affect casttimes and all that, wvw would become very very unbalanced.Imagine a thief with 5% less casttime, a guardian with better healing, a warrior with 5 percent more dmg with a killshot or any other class with higher power like that, people that weren’t on for a week would get insta killed and our forums would become filled with whining posts.

haha oh sooo that was u yesterday then.we actually didn’t wanna attack u and just pull u around.

only because some people here think that tc and kn have an alliance, doesn’t mean that we are all whining and believing that. For the FA’s thinking that,Tc took almost all of kn’s bl just a few minutes ago.I can’t stand the Fa trolls making our whole server look bad.Yes, we are being hit pretty hard atm, but hey:tons of lootbags, ranks and wxp!:-)

I don’t think thats the entire game.The last update was already over 2k files….There were a lot of patches since the past few weeks, depends on how many weeks u were away

What are your settings for the new culling system?I think it could max your pc out.I had to lwer my settings for culling to the lowest and put frame limit to 60 as my pc would get wayyyyy to hot whekittenerg appeared.

actually my skilllag has been better since the patch, but when facing a giant zerg….1fps, kind of funny watch my slideshow to death….. -_-

awww what a nice sight. I wasn’t on tc/kn/fa thread for a long time now.Same old sight though.1 server accusing the other one of 2v1 (btw not true, KN went on a rampage last night in eb and took tc keep befor they tried ours) and the other servers complaining about 1 server being full of trolls.
We all have troll on our servers, but don’t accuse the whole server of being the same.
(there is some really cool guilds in FA that dont troll, there are pretty fun PINK players on tc that don’t troll and actually whisper nice stuff too and there are KN people that bow to u after epic 1v1’s)

…if u never go out on a Friday night, because it’s reset night!

hello Devon,
and welcome to our madness ;-) I hope we hear a lot from u in future.

1 question

Are u guys gonna work on improving the maps or adding new ones? I love wvw and its pretty much the only thing I play atm, but the maps are getting a little old and all the tactics are always the same. I think changes on maps would draw a lot more people back.

Liquid.9672:

I’d say this video is fitting given the situation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vIoGp3R7ZI

ahahahaha, hey, i want that siege piece now (finally I don’t need to portal golems around anymore!Love the video!

I spent 1500 badges yesterday on siege after seeing the “amazing” skins u can get with badges…..

JonPeters.5630:

As we played with the stealth changed mentioned in the SotG, we recognized that in conjunction with the change to culling this was an unpredictable change to make. We also felt that it was too big of a hit to these stealth professions, so we ended up pulling that change in favor of just increasing revealed duration by 1 second.

too big of a hit?You saw what thieves can do in wvw….But u nerfed the warriors quickness….and the nerf actually affects the wrong thieves,the ones that play pve.It should be the other way around, nerf the ones in wvw and buff pve thieves!

floppy.4193:

seriusly,this is crasy -.-

that is nothing,50 + 20 enemies and around 23 of us in 1 keep yesterday,what a massive fight!

ohh now i see why i got normally insta killed..that wasn’t a zerg of 20 it was 50!XD ..and now i can see them

yeah siegerazor is sooooo “awesome”.i mean it’s not like he can be spawned without cooldown if he gets killed, or "helps"the poor,poor 40+man zerg to get a tower with 10 to 15 defenders but hey at least he is useful to get your towers back when that 40+ zerg took the entire map and we get 2 towers …for 5min….don’t worrie he will spawn again

hahaha best response ever

So, they allow us to buy pve items with wvw badges and karma items….I had soo much karma, that i started buying orrian chests to make some extra gold. I could buy karma items when ever i want to…I hope they are making skins that are only obtainable for wvw,new stuff,not the same old skins over and over and over again. Please anet, NEW SKINS!(I’ll send u cookies)

It would help if players wouldn’t be able to auto attack the gate down anymore.If they can’t hit it,they can’t contest it.

Atoss.1056:

I really wish they allowed standard pvp requests 1vs1 on normal maps

yeah the wvw maps are kinda boring, fighting on other maps would be more fun

jazzllanna.1278:

Lol there have been some bags I cannot get back too.. there went my precursor :P

yup one of our guildies got dusk yesterday from a towerlord…..

I really hope they add new skins…my bank is filling up with all the badges…..

Nah, I don’t think that there is enough armor out there. I’ve played around with every light armor i could and tried different combinations.I even got the necro mask on my mesmer, used invaders,berserkers,winged, feathered,cultural…when u are in wvw u will see that most of the light armor used is profane and winged.I really want more skins as the ones available atm are starting to get boring to me

We had a 3 hour Quentin lake defense with no walls or doors left vs a huge zerg that kept trying to portalbomb inside.we were heavily outnumbered, but our deathtrap made us farm them..It was over when tower fortified

and there was a 4 hour longview defense with only 12 people vs 30 + zerg(No walls,no gat,1 guild banquet, no siege, but some nice chokepoints)

I chose human as i like the looks u can get and using hounds of balthazar

Jski.6180:

Its always in wvw when ppl getting a bit too mindless and jump off a cliff when the person leading had a fall skill.

yup and don’t follow anyone with 50 percent less fall dmg….doesnt en well XD

yes, rune of the undead and rabid gear is the way plus superior sigil of corruption for your weapons.I use scepter/focus as using temporal curtain to pull enemies through the glamfields helps with extra stacks.
Btw I have inspiration ii and xi

this is how i got the wraith mask from the necro on my mesmer

yeah something is not going right since the whole guesting thing came up …..Even in PVE i am lagging like crazy.it’s nearly unplayable like that

oh well maybe you guys should do less pvdooring and more sieging……

omg love the ending of the video sooo much!ty for sharing this..

i wanted to take out the node near garrison,saw an enemy ranger and started to attack him….my attack didint hit him but a krait and i ended up agroing like 12 of them and got killed by them while he swam away.

oh and never follow anyone that has 50 percent less fall dmg…

I lover the level up pushbacks!I was in the hills at the bridge near lordsroom.When the enemy pushed in i was pulled in the middle of them and must have killed someone with my confusion and boom!LEVEL UP! and like 5 flew over the bridge.I do not understand why someone is so upset over something that works exactly the same for EVERY class…

Ok so maybe u got killed because of it once ore twice…biiiiig deal!
u got knocked out of stealth?Well, u also pushed a bunch of enemies away from you.Seriously, u got killed ONCE by leveling up?And how often do u level up in wvw every day?
is there something u guys do maybe not wanna complain about?It sometimes feels like some people just wanna play and never die and be untouchable…

I log into the forums and someone is mad because he/she died and always something small:

I wouldn’t be surprised if i would see these soon:

-please nerf trebuchet: I was showing my friend my norn dance when the treb hit the wall and i flew off the cliff

-please nerf hylek:I was down to 200 health and was about to down that thief when the hylek hit me from behind

Please nerf arrowcarts: I wanna be able to open that gate without having to fight an arrowcart.

Please remove flames on the rams: I was attacking 2 superior rams with my 100blades and got burned to death

WVW is pvp and yes in pvp you will die a lot….I got killed by a moa,siegrazer, fell 1000000times of cliffs while following commander with 50 percent less fall dmg,I got pulled of cliffs, towers, I was attacking 1 enemy under water and agrod around 12 kraits=death, so what? take it with humor and move on

In any game I’ve played where it’s possible to grief and ruin things for everyone else, you can and should report for it. This just seems like common sense to me but I was curious so I went and googled it:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-rules-of-conduct/

21. You may use the Guild Wars 2 reporting system within the Game to alert the company to in-game issues such as inappropriate behavior, offensive names, the perceived use of a “bot,” or other misconduct. […]

22. While participating in Plaver-vs-Player (PvP) gameplay, you will not participate in any form of match manipulation. Match manipulation is defined as any action taken to fix or manipulate the outcome of a match or alter or manipulate the rankings or ratings of the ladder. This also includes disrupting other people’s game experience by not actively participating in matches in good faith, a.k.a leeching.

wow, i should have done my homework right then…Anet please give me more options to report…botting just isnt doing much…ther should be an option to add a comment like we have it here in the forums

22 applies to PvP only not WvW hence the term “leeching” or afking in a pvp match. WvW is different. Plenty of players afk there constantly or are there to use crafting stations/trading post.

why would u get defensive over that?hmmmm….interesting.but no it is clearly stated PVP they didnt specify SPVP and wvw is clearly pvp!

Aberrant.6749:

As far as them not being able to tell… all it takes is them to watch the player/review evidence, and an IP check to confirm. It’s really not that hard for them.

very true it is pretty easy to find out like that.

Royce Melborn.3276:

2 days since the “nerf” now and I haven’t noticed much of a difference, except for the 4s stealth cooldown. Just takes a little adaption in the attacks, is all.
Got as many badges as always.

the nerf hasnt happened yet (March 26th)
unless you are in fact playing in the future o_0(if yes tell how are the wvw changes…)

oh well if people have to play like this…
Why would someone go through all that trouble over a game?It is really dumb to spy.We have people logging into our TS, our server forums, our guild forums….we had a spy putting down a port below our feet and when we got attacked we thought that was our port out, but we actually landed on a very small part near a cliff where 20 people already stacked with might were awaiting us….spies and saboteurs are really annoying. Only weak players would seek advantage in such a thing…

I’ll go oldschool :

Titan.3472:

Next change will be confusion stack will increase in duration and not in overal damages.

erm you… you dont wanna do that…..believe me u do not want to increase confusion duration….just like no…trust me ……

Syeria.4812:

Oh it’s not only tier 7 having the problem tonight?

nope tier 2 was a nightmare my fps would go from 40 to 5 then 20 then 3 but throughout the entire gameplay and not only when facing a group of players and when we ran into a zerg i couldn’t even autoattack.

omg i would love that.good old ut times:
double kill,multikill,megakill,mo-mo-mo-mo monsterkill,holy kitten
would love to have my godlike status back :-)

yes please yes please yes!I would love to get an epic legendary armor skin!

i’m really tying not to kill them in wvw…but they always run right in the middle of a fight….

yay can’t wait! kylia is a great commander to follow!

if u run a confusion build i’d definitely recommend using a scepter.check it out..u will get some pretty nice stacks and numbers

hmm yeah The badges have increased a lot and my bank is almost full with it now.I wish they’d make it so badges are treated like a currency with no 250 limitation.

I do agree with the facts the op brought up though.I would love to see a new way to get keeps and maybe new ways to upgrade the keeps too.
-new ways of sieging
-no more pvdooring
-new rewards, better ranks, new loot, a lot more armor and weapon skins
-maybe rewards for getting keeps like a chest or so
-new unique things only available for wvw
-character growth and developement
-new maps or even better changing maps
-balance for servers (the losing server gets fully upgraded keeps with more protection, so larger zergs have to work a little harder)
-Serverpoints or something like that that could unlock new keep upgrades or so(not sure about this one as it could lead to unbalance aswell)
-maybe people have to complete a task or so in order to get to the castle
-put smc lord on top floor and not bottom
-new commander system
-add citizens npcs
-add new requirements for upgrades not just supply camps also something economy wise

just add more spice to wvw, because it’s starting to become dull and burning a lot of people out

Kaisukii.7809:

Portal allows a maximum of 20 players through.

The range on portals is actually pretty low.

Not sure if trolling or not so w/e.

yeah, I dont get why the op thinks something like this is op…..Do u have ANY idea how hard it is to make a successful portal bomb?You know how many mesmers die whil trying to portalbomb into a lordsroom?u gotta get past all the siege and u don’t have a fancy trait like a thief that can safe u in case u screw up.
Keep your eyes open for the portals.
-If u see someone stacking u know something is coming
-right before they are able to use the portal, the portal will light up real quick, so dodge away from it
-always be ready for an unexpected push
-portals are limited
-timewarp is limited to like 10 or so, i’ve never timewarped 20+ at the same time
-why don’t u try it for yourself and play a mesmer and get those portalbombs going and we will see if u still think our traits are sooo op and get used to be asked every 10 minutes to portal golems, portal people in, to hide, to rush past siege, to pull people off walls, to timewarp golems, to use massinvis ….yup mesmers have to work pretty hard for the community ;-)

I do love massive battles, especially when we are kinda balanced in numbers.Then it is all about push tactics and it is even if we lose the battle, a ton of fun.Although I do miss tactics when it comes down to keeps, where a group of 40+ literally can aoutoattack a gate down.In my opinion gates and walls should only be damageable with siege, so no more thief contesting an entire keep.
Fighting a zerg when outnumbered can be quite frustration i know. When that happens siege up your Garrison like crazy and u might have a chance to hold it.
build trebs that can hit the gate in case of a golem rush
build superior arrowcarts on all walls
build catas everywhere to hit enemy catas on walls
And keep in mind, there is nothing more satisfying then destroy a giant zerg when outmanned.

as for the stack, stack, stack thing:I would not wanna see that go as it actually takes a lot of skill and great timing for it to be successful.

and remember:after all it is called WORLD vs WORLD=large scale fights and i am sorry but that involves unfortunately being steamrolled by a zerg that greatly outnumbers u…

Habib are you delaying WvW rank progression as we know nothing about it yet?!?!

i hope not,I am actually looking forward to it

Is this the big blog post Mike Ferguson was talking about? We get some crap about culling that we already knew of, and no info about other stuff that will be in the patch.

I guess March patch will be a disappointment after all.

no, no that’s not all:Don’t forget the monthly mesmer nerf, thief boost,necro bug fix,engineer slight boost with an ugly nerf and the new ranger pet bug!YAY!

Hopefully the ranks will be fun and bring some spice back to wvw.

You play a Confusion Mesmer and you cry about Mesmer nerfs?

You are amazing.

i didn’t cry i was making a joke because this is how the updates were so far for the classes.
