Careful with those bumps, I got this a couple of days ago.

Doesn’t necro have a teleport ability? I can’t remember, but seem to recall one has a “recall to point” thingy …

Flesh Wurm: Reactivate to teleport back to it.

Guardians also have meditations.

I didn’t see what OP saw so I can’t discredit him for it, but there are a few hackers in WvW.

People block you, get your name, then spam hate messages to you for killing them, they do it this way so they know for a fact you can’t say anything back to them.

People who party you, are a lot more friendly and usually ask for another fight or “well played”.

OP must have played at release, one of the very few who still play this game hoping for the best.

If you’re Tier 2, yes it’s dead.

I get abused from time to time, mainly because I jump on their corpse in WvW if they group gank me and fail…

Throwing siege on people works wonders too, will almost instantly get PM from someone that blocked you so they can kitten talk all they want without hearing anything back.

I thought having 10 minute ques were bad :O

I’m reading peoples arguments, everyone seems to have forgotten the part where OP said you have the OPTION to tag up.

No we have not forgotten at all. It has been addressed, you seem to be forgetting that some people don’t even want to see other people fighting all over the place.

All of these maps have events all over them and any future living story can also happen anywhere Anet decides they should happen. Any duels or pvp pretty much anywhere would get in the way of them, break immersion or just cause toxicity in some way or another. It’s not going to happen for the reasons I as well as others have already stated. This is a CARE BEAR FRIENDLY game, albeit it does have the pvp modes where they are away from the general public. They are there go and play them.

Yer I don’t disagree with that stuff, I just find it hilarious that I clearly gave my own personal opinion on why I would enjoy it, and yet as usual someone is there to tell me why I wouldn’t enjoy it based off their own gaming enjoyments.

A thread derailment later, and we wind up here

Oh I have no doubt you and many others would enjoy such a game mode. It’s just that I think the majority would not. Majority usually wins out in most cases. Add to that the view/philosophy or whatever it is you would like to call it that anet has shown towards how they want their game to be viewed as and played; it all just adds up to “not likely to happen”.

Personally myself I wouldn’t mind if they did an overhaul to wvw or added in some totally new version of it with different factions that we could sign up for and help out. It could offer more play styles and rewards as well as add a whole lot of new fun. By signing up to a faction it would not have you be bound by your server and you could even change your faction. But this would again ideally all be away from PvE and in their own maps. I would like the maps to be similar to PvE tho with small cities and settlements rather than towers and keeps. Heck just imagine signing up for and helping out the Inquest, Bandits, Krait, Centaurs etc etc. It could add a whole new dynamic to the game. But that’s just my secret little wish, I know it wont happen but still we can dream can’t we? :P

Oh yes we can dream lol, and I know something like this will never happen either, it was just amusing people wanted to argue my own personal opinion on why I would like it or what I would do with it lol… -squints at brotherbelial-

(I would probably sign up to the Nightmare Court, then walk through Caledon Forest like Chuck Norris ready for a beating)

I honestly thought this post had something to do with the map rage from people who crafted Wings Of Dwayna…

I kinda agreed with them too, they changed light flame walker armor because it resembled Human culture armor but eh, I didn’t spend +500g or what ever on a bow when now I can get the cheap 80g version off TP.

In reference to your post though: I would like to change the dye on my new weapon to match the Wings Of Dwayna bow.

Dwayna’s longbow and Wings of Dwayna look nothing alike, not even remotely.

Maybe it’s just my pewp PC set up then combined with the preview links I was given in map chat…

I would love to see this.
My reasons:

WvW- Too much siege, too many zergs, any enemies less than 5 won’t engage unless you’re alone.

Pvp- The builds are restricting, the movement options are restricted during combat, you essentially have to play for nodes and the maps and playerbase is too small.

Having this flag Idea in PvE: I could run around and maybe do map completion with a slight challenge, duel my friends with real builds that happen to be on the same server, organize brawls in map chat (no loot needed) or just have general brawls with guildies on areas we choose like at the top of towers on little platforms or what ever, maybe even the arena in LA could be put to some good use.

You say its fun, untill.you get stalked my a group of people ganking you every time you you try to grab that Vista or make that jump on a JP or get that skill point. Not to mention the people flooding.map chat will challenges and calling people noobs and what not for running away or losing a fight, the trolling would be insane. As the dev said in the quoted article, there is WvW and PvP. It would take too much work to implement. And I’m glad. It was bad enough in wow when I had a guy follow.me around a map.challenging me to a fight. I told him I was not interested, but he still persisted. In the end I just logged off.

Then I deflag for a break or block the trolls? I dunno though it may be rocket science after all.

So you want to wonder around with it on when you can do what you want with it, and change PvE maps into PvP maps because you think it’s cool. But when it gets all to much for you, you are just going to turn it off? Yeah sounds like WvW to me. And what about when someone comes along who’s not flagged, and you end up targeting them instead of the guy your fighting, or a mob comes along, or event. It’s going to mess up your PvP. You have not thought this through at all.

Well, yea? If a group of people want to stalk me and troll me, then yes I will deflag so they can’t kill me?

If anyone hasn’t thought this through it’s you mate lol. I gave you the most simple solution to your first spurt of vomit, but I’ll give you some more free of charge!

If the person isn’t flagged for PvP, I dunno, maybe they should appear as ally like they already do?

I don’t know what you’re trying to argue, but so far all of your possible “what ifs” already have very simple solutions that can be applied by the player, Anet doesn’t need to spoon feed you.

I didn’t realize our gear was tied to our stats in PvP?

I always thought equipping amulet and my build was enough…

If gear effects our stats in game, should I be upgrading my lvl 1 berserker sword to something lvl 80?

Bring back Ricochet too.

Arthedain.5928:

it seams like they removed the possiblity to get wvw exp boosters from it
also they nerfed the amout of boosters you get and instead it gives much more transformations
so you basicly riped us off, you sold us an item to then change it later…
I will try to get a refund from the support as this item is compleatly useless for me now
gj riping off your paying customers anet

You will be met with the same old “you paid for gems, what you did with gems is entirely your choice”…

basically Anet created a currency that you buy with your real life money, you then spend that currency on your items, if said item was changed at any point of time, they owe you nothing as you didn’t buy it with cash, you bought it with gems.

Poison, or Sigil Of Doom.

A gem store update would be enough lol

mulzi.8273:

no. The problem isnt conditions. The problem lies in the fact that the majority of players are stuck in the ‘power’ syndrome, where they try to squeeze every single once of power dmg out of their spec. To do this, they sacrifice condi-clear.

Its their own fault they don’t bring condi-clear. This is why you do not see an uproar in spvp, as folks there will bring condi-clear…

I always thought for PvP we didn’t care as much because they can’t use perplexity runes ontop of toxic stones and rare veggie pizzas, then again it could just be me that enjoys that.

AP is broken and should be no indication of players abilities.

1 year of playing PvE will give you more AP than a PvP/WvW player over 3 years of the game.

I would love to be able to customize the Largos race (Humanoids with wings, it’s been 3 years since I did PvE or story line)…

The Wizland.8435:

Necromancer Axe #3 is now a blast finisher. This would be so handy for improving necro axe and adding group support.

Even warhorn #5 would be handy as blast finisher.

+1
Would love to hide shoes on Charr

An idea popped into my head while I was on the toilet that could satisfy both parties and maybe even prove a point on Anets behalf or WvW community behalf.

For the next event, put a poll on the forums for the top 3 changes people would like to see in WvW, restrict answers to:
1.
2.
3.

Anything outside of those 3 points will nullify that persons post.

At the end of a weeks poll, tally up the answers and implement the top choice, maybe top 2 choices. With this, the community will see changes they asked for, it will either make the player base happy, or it will further destroy WvW thus proving to the community we should essentially just shut and be happy.

(feel free to lock thread, it will show the community you actually read the forums and will also prevent unnecessary arguments and thread derailment)

Any bugs and exploits on the current BL maps will be gone soon and replaced with a new map with new exploits and bugs.

Female norn warriors with GS annoy me enough to not use GS or to gender swap.

Female Charr mesmers are awsome, that one handed pewpew on side stance looks wicked

What is the point of buying Gem store skins if you can’t show it off?

Off that question alone, if it ever was implemented then expect a huge plummet in gem store sales via cash, which we all know, Anet would most likely never allow to happen as they are a business and want to generate revenue.

Players have the option to turn off skins and outfits via the “simple character model” option in the graphics menu. Also, minis are automatically hidden on maps with a high population. Yet, they’re still pumping out new gemstore outfits and minis no problemo… so, I really don’t see any impact on revenue from something like this because it already exists in the game to a certain level…

I buy gemstore armor for my own enjoyment. I couldn’t care less if other players ogle me, or ignore me.

Your argument is circumstantial. While a lot of people may play on potatos and miss out on seeing the shiny stuff, the rest of us have systems that allow for us to see the items that others are wearing, it has absolutely nothing to do with generating revenue for Anet nor will it.

But if they were to implement this system then they themselves would be taking the risk that a lot of players only buy skins via gemstore to look shiny for everyone else to see, which would in turn be met with “we want refunds, outfits are no good….” and would essentially lose future sales on items they released.

Chronomancer’s actually in a good spot at the moment. It’s fairly balanced compared to other Mesmer specs, but it does have more room for skilled play with well timed Continuum Splits.

If your definition of good spot is being OP, then yes, you are correct.

If you are comparing it to D/D ele, then yes, it is weak.

And here’s the mandatory “D/D ele OP” I see in every unrelated thread.

Well, yeah but that is pretty much obvious to everyone except D/D eles at this point.

no just baddies imo.

I kill D/D eles just fine unless I’m playing flavor of the month class on a meta build that isn’t cele signant necro.

Coyote.7031:

My experiences have been GvG guilds that have no interest in WvW at all just fights and duelers, so many duelers often 10-30 people grouped up for duels. They sit outside Stonemist and have been trolling players actually trying to play WvW, like yesterday we had a thief and a elementalist who kept attacking the groups trying to skirt around Stonemist, and thus start a WvW players and dueler battles over and over. We keep asking them to politely move away so this stops happening, it’s a win win if they move, they don’t get disturbed and we don’t get trolled, but they generally just reply “Go bleep yourself!” Guildwars 2 has such a terrible community, but I guess that’s true for the internet in general.

This happens on every server, those duels usually start off with 2 players and someone watching, then more watch until the fight is over, then people take turns of dueling before moving off again to WvW.

We ask zerglings nicely not to interfere and to move past or have a turn themselves but they can’t resist that inconsiderate rapid fire or burst for attempts at a lootbag, as you said though “Guildwars 2 has such a terrible community, but I guess that’s true for the internet in general.”

Ive asked for PvE skins to be available through PvP or WvW or gem store, I’ll give you the same answer I got from the PvE community.

“we earned our skins and you should do the same and stop asking for handouts.”

IMO everything should be attainable through every game mode as each player enjoys different aspects of the game, and as OP stated “Not caring win or lose or the score overall” is the reason why you see so much rage towards players in PvP.

If you really are new, then I would convert what you would need into gold to equip your characters with the right gear, maybe some transmutation charges to decorate him a little and a bank tab upgrade.4

low risk high reward gameplay – conditions.

I have multiple builds for multiple classes but if I want some fee easy loot bags in WvW, then I put on perplex PU mes or condi thief… Apply conditions, stealth, reset yourself as you’re OOC while opponent is not due to conditions, reapply, rinse and repeat until you have bags.
All damage done while you are in stealth, majority of time spent OOC. (how is that even remotely fair to power builds)

Lets not forget all my damage comes from condition damage, allowing me to take dire gear… You want the same DPS and tankiness on a power build? won’t happen, you gotta pick one or the other.

Rynter.3975:

The way it is on Yak’s Bend right now is that we had to call of nightly WvW because Fort Aspenwood and Sea of Sorrows are no shows, and no fights are to be found. This is probably because a bunch of T1 guilds transferred to our server a few weeks ago to try to boost it up to T1 and shake things up, and ever since Yak’s Bend has been absolutely crushing the other two T2 servers, so they don’t bother showing up after Monday or Tuesday night.

The Glicko system sucks balls, as does the whole current state of affairs concerning Worlds, overpopulation/underpopulation and servers facing each other for months on end.

I feel like WvW needs to be redesigned in some way. Why not, Lion’s Arch went through 2 or 3 redesigns, they could put some time into WvW, right??? haha

I’m currently on one of those servers facing you, but I tend to go PvP the moment you guys cover all exits in siege and spawn camp, or if you constantly respond to yak snipes with 10+ or just your general orange swords on a solo player to which over 50% of the zerg stops to jump on you….. There’s also 0 roamers to be found unless you’re keen on searching for nearly an hour, from what I can tell they’ve all been zerged off the maps or made much bigger groups.

As someone who has been playing mace/focus staff mid support sentinal guard, there is nothing that can SAFELY 1v1 me.

But there is also nothing happening in the fight, it’s a stalemate until either an ally or enemy comes along. I normally que with 2 thieves, once they arrive to help I give them quickness followed up by 15 might + stab + regen + protection and watch them heartseeker people to death.

Any D/D ele build.

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

The biggest is population imbalance. The current team structure has led to a number of issues such as low population in some worlds while overpopulation on a few worlds gives them queues on many nights of the week.

We’ve seen a concentration of talent as hardcore players from most worlds have migrated upwards through the tiers looking for new experiences and greater challenge. Because this talent tends to be concentrated at the top, MMR has correctly kept the most dedicated teams locked in near perpetual stand off against the same opponents week after week.

My two cents on the whole server capping, pop imbalance thing. Yes I agree it’s a problem. No you’re not going about it correctly. So you just locked people out of the more competitive tiers in hopes that people will transfer down to the lower tiers and give more of a spread to competitive wvw, this is a good idea in theory but what about new players that want to play with their friends? That is my personal situation currently, I have a friend who would like to play with me and a few of our other friends, the problem is we are all on Yaks Bend so it will be impossible for him to play with us on wvw any time soon (if ever). Now the only option available to us is to all transfer down to a lower tier server, which I wouldn’t be too opposed to if it wasn’t going to cost us $35 per person. If you really want people to spread to multiple servers open up free server transfers. You’ll have multiple people going down to the lower servers to play with their friends (or for a fresh environment). This doesn’t have to be a permanent change, only long enough for people to spread out across the servers and allow guilds to find new homes on the lower servers. Right now it honestly just looks to me like a cash grab on your guys’ part because you just want more people to pay for gems to transfer, but in reality this just makes my friend group not want to play because we can’t play with our friend unless we spend $140 total. Which sounds better, 5 people buying heart of thorns or 5 people spending $35 for the gems to transfer.

TL;DR
Make server transfers free to the non full servers to get people off the full servers.

There are realistically like 10 people in all of WvWvW in this whole game that are actual true friends with someone and want to play WvWvW with them. And sorry, I don’t count ex guild mates, forum friends, or FB friends as friends. Only real friends count as friends.

That quote made me lol nicely…

I know of a guild that has 14 members, they are all from the same family…
I know another guild, it’s mostly filled with Husbands and Wives above 30 years old.

And over the 3 years of playing the game, I have also met quite a few couples that play the game together, live together and raid together.

I’ll tell you the top roamers if you can tell me the top pug zerglings?

Hand in hand with population imbalance is scoring. The current scoring structure allows scores to run away, a problem that is compounded with night capping where it is possible for a team who has recruited players from different time zones to conquer everything in off-hours leading to one side getting ahead while most players are asleep or at work. Comebacks are difficult and it is hard to make up for that lost time that you spend on your real life needs.

If you’re going to implement something about night capping, please implement an Oceanic server so we don’t get short drafted in WvW. Our presence in WvW is just as valuable as Americans and should have equal footing.

Also thanks for the communication

Dyes are my 3rd biggest source of gold income, quite frequently I’ll buy out the last of dyes and relist for double or triple the price in small portions and watch someone buy them all up and do the same.

I use that time to have a smoke, the moment map selection is made, I’m out the door having it.

It’s the perfect amount of time to be honest.

If Ques were more reliable, I would have it before I qued, but Ques can range from seconds to 8 minutes.

I don’t get spirit shards, I got 1800 just sitting there and not sure what I’m meant to do with them…

You can only hide the headpiece, not the other parts.

Outfits are really at their best while leveling a new character, as you can keep dumping new equipment on your character without messing up your look. Same for passing around ascended gear.

Apart from that, they’re situational.

Shoulders and gloves too.

Broken Bottle Cap
Ice Bank Mice Elf

I’m going along with the title.

+1 to dungeons with Solo mode.

It ruins the game experience to watch the party nit pick over who’s pet was in the wrong spot or who didn’t stack on spot A instead of spot B even though the result is the same.

“You stack at the wall? you have no idea how to play the game, you should come 400 distance over here and stack here on this tiny pillar instead or be kicked”
