Guild Wars 2

WvW Leaderboard it’s just an official way to show the servers ranking to determine their position due to rating system, and their progression after a week mathup. You have to have that, not sure what kinda value you want from that.

Btw what we really need is a WvW Player Rank Leaderboard, or any kinda of player rank tracker for allies in WvW. You know the rank of your enemy by its currently rank on name tag, but you don’t know the rank of your allies.

I have, pretty much. Some huge fights that you used to get skill lag you’re not, of course you stil get it in some situation, although they’ve improved and not fixed yet. I have high hopes there would be a day where 3 servers fighting in SM with no skill lag at all, how epic would that be.

WvW = GvG

Most of the open field fights are without siege or WvW mechanics.

Soon, when most players starts to hit rank 150 it will get even worst with the 2 words ranks. I can only imagine a caos would be a fight on a matchup like this for example:

Northern Shiverpeaks Bronze Invader [ABCD] x 50
vs
Ferguson’s Crossing Bronze Assaulter [DCBA] x50
vs
Sanctum of Rall Bronze Assaulter [BACD] x50

Holy Mother!

I’ve gone to that spot and switched to windowed mode. It doesn’t let you see inside the tower. Go ahead and try it yourself.

This was definitely exploiting.

So maybe the guy deserves a ban or whatever. I stil think are making too much big deal out of nothing, not sure those circles were not even hitting anything on that case.

Fact.5908:

SoR has more numbers in certain timezones, while blackgate and jade quarry overpower us in other timezones. But it’s not always a matter of numbers. A highly organized guild can wipe out a large zerg with smaller numbers, superior tactics always come out ahead. Not acknowledging that fact and saying WvW is based solely upon numbers is quite humorous.

Winning WvW is solely based upon numbers, everyone know s this.

Yep. The server who has the biggest number on the board at the end of the matchup wins.

JakobGW.5730:

My wife and I were on SoR for a time. The community is great but the zerging was unbearable.

On that note, why are folks congratulating a server for being number one in WvW? What is there to congratulate? Congratulates in a competitive field should be for accomplishing something competitively. In WvW, number 1 simply does not mean you’re the best competitively. It does not mean that you have accomplished something extraordinary through competition, or that you have somehow competed and finished in first place, or that you have showed superior skill against another opponent.

In WvW it only means that you have more people on the maps with better coverage. Nothing more. Boasting about that makes you look foolish.

So much you don’t know.

Full server status includes PvE, PvP(WvW) and PvP(SPvP) gamemodes activities. I don’t know why some think that’s only WvW.

People seems to judge a entire WvW community of a server based in a few forum warriors posts. That’s not cool.

Terkov.4138:

Oh, topic moved to thief forum… get ready for “L2P n00b!” spam!

What you expect? WvW it’s for WvW talking not specific class. It finally was moved, about time.

So much failure in here. It’s bizarre.

ahm.. hmm.. what?

What are blackout events?

For the Ps. If they say “a new build of GW2 is available in the next 1 or 2 hours” and it happens 3 min after, it means they didn’t lied to you. It could be any min within 2 hours as they warned you, nothing wrong with that.

If you like pvp and think WvW is not awesome, YES 100% you’re doing something wrong.

Onshidesigns.1069:

I like cosmetic mounts with only the same temporary speed boost as running.

Same. I think if there’s mounts, their speed should be according with your boost.

Just thought a game so beautiful like GW2 would be awesome if have mounts. Well maybe some day.

I feel like WvW is broken.

Title fixed.

Dev’s that don’t interact with the community?

A dead game mode?

You definitely not talking about GW2 WvW.

little ceasar.9254:

And while they are at it, please work on removing the tag of a completely downed player from the oppositions viewpoint. It gets real messy in large fights.

Can’t remove tag from downed players, they stil alive lol. But would be great having a change for “dead” players tag like a grey color, or something different so you don’t waste your time attacking nothing but air because you think the enemy is stil up.

The bumping.

I don’t think they can provide the next matchup until te currently one ends up, as the system needs the final rating and deviation to make the math for random matchups.

dbgamer.3407:

thx both of you.

Are they planning to do the new matchups this friday? any word on that?

Yes, the new matchup system starts on next reset(tomorrow).

Is that abbreviated server name discussion stil going on? (Ex: Sanctum of Rall Footman[AABB] = SoR Footman[AABB]) Can we expect that happening any soon or it’s out of table for some reason?

They said its going to pick 1 player each month to steal that guy when they open the chest. This month was you pal, sorry.

thiagoperne.7340:

Jesus Christ never seen a Dev been insulted so much because he’s trying to help so much. This is their game and they are doing everything possible to help, and let’s not forget without charging you a peny for that. You stil don’t like? Why are you stil doing here? Get the hell out and go find another game that’s better for you. Simple like that.

Help out is the wrong term… More like implement their vision of WvW and ignore the community.

Their vision of WvW couldn’t be better.

You think they ignore the community, but you just making a confusion. Anet doesn’t implement what the community wants, they take feedbacks and ideas from them and put it in discussion to decide what’s better for the game.

DevonCarver.5370:

We included the laurel cost to prevent the economy from suddenly being blown out and to not invalidate the ways PvE players can get ascended items already. This system means that it is faster to get them in WvW, especially for players who already have badges, without being so much faster that everyone only gets them in this manner. As for the difficulty of acquiring laurels in WvW, we have taken steps to address that, including the fact that there will always be 3 daily achievements that are WvW specific. Speaking personally, I’ve been able to achieve my dailies in WvW even without that change, but this should make it even easier.

I have three level 80’s and 7 sets of gear. It will take me over 12 months to get the 490 laurels I need. Is that how you intended the system to work? Should I go play another MMO while I grind out my dailies?

Yea they intended the system work based on everyone having 3 level 80’s and want to gear all of them very fast. That’s because you can play with 3 characters in WvW at the same time.

Esqi.8496:

Anyone up for some loving?

Are you a hot young girl? If yes, pm me.

You must be bugged or something, loot drop rate seems to be the same. If is anything it got better, I haven’t loot as many rare/exotic as before. Badges are the same.

Stefan.9360:

I’m not sure thief OP or not but I saw ~600 posts here and usually people don’t complaining for nothing. Maybe had something wrong with the thieves.

You would be correct “if” all the posts were complain. It’s easier to say most are against a nerf then in favor. For the simple fact the thiefs are not OverPowered, it’s just too much UnderPowered players fighting them.

Can someone pop a score update please!?

Sin.4130:

Don’t believe that there is any secret tactic to kill a thief. Look at thief videos he even doesn’t have to dodge your AoE. All you can do is to spam your skills and run/dodge like a blind man. By the way, this the stupidest thing I’ve ever experienced in any game.

Bunker build at last have a chance to avoid framing thieves, anybody else have no chance to survive.

This is your 38th reply in here . I think everyone already understood that you can’t with thiefs, if tou keep posting over and over people will think that’s an obsession. Maybe if u spent the time u are on this thread in game, you would probably be able do deal with thiefs by now. Who knows.

I thought “Arrocart [merged]” thread was the most fail ever, but with this one here is getting a nice competition.

People think that these thief videos killing those either newbies or have no idea what they are doing its gonna do anything, I mean just look at the videos u don’t see them dodge, pop skills or jump on him, no traps and really slow reactions. How can you stil whine even after culling off and anti-stealth traps. Do you really think Anet gonna consider as thief OP based on theses videos? Jesus

How come so many players can deal with thiefs with no problem and some of you can’t? Obviously there’s difference between you and them, experience and skill level.

Skill lag is slightly better, at some big fights that before we usually get skill lag we’r are not. But something is going on, something is wrong, at some points we’r getting a massive lag that sometimes takes like 3-4 sec to get back and when it doesn’t you get DC’d. But Anet should be aware of that by now and we should expect a fix soon.

Score update please!!!

Can we have a score update plz?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/wuvwuv/Update-on-Arrow-Carts-in-WvW

Please post your comments there. Let this fail and boring thread go away, thanks!

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World_Experience

That’s what we know so far. If that’s correct the max rank title is Gold Legend, at least until someone gets it and see if there’s more, rank levels are probably infinite.

Stick with the weed my friend. Easy, natural and relaxing.

Now you wanna do heavy drugs and come to forums, this is what happens. This will nerf your reputation down, nothing else.

It’s happening to everyone I guess, it can be frustrating sometimes. Surely they got plenty of reports about this, we’re probably getting a fix within next patch.

Green arrows needs to go and we need a WvW player rank tracker for allies. So remove the arrow and replace character level number for WvW player rank in WvW.

So I heard guardians, thiefs, warriors, rangers, necros, ele’s, engineers and mesmers are OP in wvw. Couldn’t be more balanced. Working as intended.

What part of “non-real” numbers u guys didn’t understand?

I believe they were making fun of people that take every single thing developers say as absolute truths.

You stil can joke about the jokes

What part of “non-real” numbers u guys didn’t understand?

Burl.9567:

DevonCarver.5370:

We are in the process of doing a couple of things that should make the matchups less stale and inject variety into the server colors regardless.

New maps??? crosses fingers

I think it’s a random matchup colors, instead of currently due to 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

Can someone toss a score update in here?

That last pic is now dedicated to you. Congrats VcY.

Can’t believe someone actually took his time to edit and post all those pictures. It almost forced me to call this guy a looser lol.

I made most of those …

Congratulation

Good job! It helps a bit..

But the real problem with the clutter is the long server names. Hoping to see them abbreviated as soon as possible, then we can celebrate!

Nuvo.5014:

7 superior AC.

yea so…

DevonCarver.5370:

I’d like to shed some light on our thinking with this AC change as well as tell you all what we are doing right now to balance it.

Firstly, when siege weapons were originally creatped, they had the intent of being really good at some things and not so good at others. The arrow cart is intended to be the anti-personal siege weapon. It is intended that arrow carts are all about controlling an area through damage. If you remain in the area that is being hit by the arrow cart, you will die. You can however, move out of the space and/or find a new way to attack the intended target. That being said, they are not intended to be so good against other siege weapons and we are in the process of addressing that right now. We are also addressing their range when upgraded to be more in line with the range of ballistas.

Secondly, this change is going to require new tactics and those tactics include things like using ballista and catapults to destroy arrow carts. With that in mind, we’ve been looking more closely at the numbers of all the siege weapons and there are definitely some changes that need to be made to bring them in line with their intent. We are going to take a holistic pass at siege weapons in the coming months and drop a rebalance of all of them to get them to more closely align with what they should be doing.

Finally, the feedback you all provide is a very useful part of this whole process. WvW is a living, breathing game type and any changes we make have numerous consequences that don’t become fully visible until everyone starts interacting with them and devising new strategies. Our goal is to provide a complex combat space that rewards skill, tactics, and ingenuity and while we haven’t fully achieved that goal yet, I like to think we are getting there.

In the coming months, meanwhile you most of your most noteworthy wvw guilds will be looking for a new game to play.

Anet has kittening lost their mind.

There aren’t a lot of games that came bring what WvW brings to the table for pvp oriented guilds. Even if they continue to break it by doing other stupid stuff like turning arrowcarts into godcarts.

That is about to change. Elder Scrolls Online is launching sometime this year, and is on the radar of most PvP guilds, big and small. By all accounts, WvW is its major endgame.

Before culling was fixed, our guild was talking about ESO a lot. But with no culling, we were back to having good times in GW2. The arrow cart buff is pushing us back into the “no-fun” zone and we are following the ESO news again.

ESO is still an unknown quantity, but it does have the potential to be a serious challenger.

(And there is also Planetside 2 out there, which is a 3 faction MMOFPS. Its audience does overlap with some GW2 PvP guilds).

Are you seriously considering to even compare ESO to GW2? Oh man!
