Guild Wars 2

I don’ have an home world anymore. It got killed in serverlinks

Agree! The lines on the map is to thick. Maybe an setting to enable and disable lines?

i did also post question:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/68vw84/flashpoint_devs_here_ask_us_anything/dh1qtzb/
got no respons either.

Yes. Just YES! WvW needs this. Can only hope they give us this, i don’t think it’s gonna happen but fingers crossed.

yeah, it happens alot :s
i know that some people do that for fun because of server identity reasons aswell.
like, “it’s an enemy keep anyway. it’s not OUR keep, why should we care”
also some people might do it fun because of the tractivators are OP.

Thea Cherry.6327:

Why don’t they use the WvW Rank for determing who gets how much Asc Armor pieces?

Iam now at nearly at a rank of 1900 and have 870 spare World Ability Points, why can’t we invest 200 of them into some ASC armor?

I spent so much time in that mode, i scouted for days, i leaded for month, i wiped, i killed, i pushed dolys, i build defense, i upgraded towers, i fought, i died, i respawned, i captured and all i got was crap compared to the PVE and PVP players.

We are unappreciated, ignored, abused and worst of all: we lost a whole bunch of players and friends to other games. We have always been at the end of the straw, our long praised overhaul was scraped, our community managers are changing every few month and the new ones rarely post here or communicate with us.

That is the harsh truth every WvW player has to deal with: we are not equal to the other game modes and we will never be.

this is so true!

Yes, i agree. as long as i can remember, people i know that play wvw, is of an opinion that anet does not care much about wvw. i have to say that we have gotten some love with a few changes. Some bad and other good, depending on who you ask. but i am most surprised that spvp get’s asended gear and better reward, while wvw doesn’t get any(for what i can see in the info about that patch). in spvp you can basicly play with white quality gear, and no need for food or siege to buy/spend gold on. But in wvw where we need all that, it looks like we don’t get anything. while reading the article about the new patch, it feels like another smack in the face.
I will be ready on patch-day reading the notes.
Hope we get something.

I agree with OP. Also want to point out that the rewards we get in wvw is, and has always been bad. Espesialy for commanders. I am getting used to farm gold in PvE. If i don’t do it, i don’t have enough for siege or food. Useing normal quality siege is just not good. When i roam also i end up with less gold.

Am surprised that anet thinking about us from guest worlds. thanks btw.
I did like some of solution 2 and 3.
- worlds would be referred to by their color in wvw score menu. not on objectives. instead show the server name of the world that capped it. if it was the most of one world their server name would own it.
- i would also like to have an clear way we can see what server people from, on our team. like an text or just “UW” when you click players.
- the map name would be Green border. Not the host world. like it is now, we are NOT fighting for an “home border”, we are fighting for an other server’s border.
- for enemies, they would just see the color name instead of server name.
- for announcements, it would say what server capped it. for enemies it would just say color.
just my thoughts.

Once. FSP → UW

Thank you Anet!
Alot of activity on alphine boarders on UW+FSP last nigth
At some point it was bigger/about equal que on one of the boarders.

Thank you Anet!!!!

I used to be an roamer on old alpine, i did not like the new map. looking forward to alpine maps return.

Yes! take it back to friday!

1. Redesign desert boarderlands and reintrroduce Alphine map until new map is ready. With focus on these changes to new desert map:
- Less PvE Envirmental content.
- Objectives has more stratigic placements (alpine boarderlands layout or close to it)
- More flat spces between objectives.
- Simpler layout of keeps.
- sentry’s tracking buff is also inside keeps and towers.

2. Communicate with the WvW community more. by useing forums or WvW twitch streams?

3. solve population issus

4. Change war rom system in Guild hall, so that WvW guilds can upgrade/get it by doing WvW content

5. Something shiny/rewards. only aquireble in WvW gear and skins. WvW Guild decorations. WvW legendary’s.

Agree with OP. +1
Now on home BL, if i were to defend any of the bottom towers i have to go all the way from middle keep. and gamble that i will make it there before it’s flipped.

Describe a typical hour for you in the Alpine Borderlands in the past. For example, What size of group were you running in? What kind of tasks did you run? What activities did you do?
did solo roaming. would open map to see where i could sabotage supply lines and plan out where to go and what camp/tower to cap.
solo’d camps and towers, upgrade towers and camps and bloodlust, escort dolyaks. usally solo, sometimes found server-mates to play with, small group from 2 to 5 players+.
Used to play frontline guardien in gvg’s and pug zergs. when defending objectives i would siege up towers and keeps. when no enemi activeity, go around the map gathering ores and trees and look for fights (in most cases died alot!)

Compare your experience described above with a typical hour spent in Eternal Battlegrounds, if you went there at all. Does your style of play change between the 2 maps?
when to EB with frontline guardien for zerg figths with pug commander. did sometimes enter with roamer class, where i would help small groups of 3-10 to cap towers and defend objectives like keeps, towers, camps and StoneMist.

Compare your experiences described above with an hour spent in the new borderlands.
From when i try’d new boarderlands first month: would run solo flipping camps, try’d on towers. did manage to flip 3 of the towers.
but it did take way to long, so i stopped doing towers and when for camps. sometimes shrines.

Describe the nature of combat in the borderlands in the past. How have the new borderlands impacted this paradigm for you?
What style or build changes might it cause? For example, knocking people off cliffs or into lava might play a more important role.
before i would use siege to defend myself from bigger groups. now i get rolled over by always bigger groups.
1v1’s / 1vX: easy to see where eneies where and clean open feilds where we would focus on combat skills.
On new boarderlands, hard to run away and get rolled over by OP elite sepecs (not won an singel 1v1/1vX sins HoT)

In your experience, compare the time it takes take a structure or objective here, then it did in the past.
on old boarders it did take somewhat little time. on new boarders it takes alittle longer depending on messed up spawning of NPC’s.
tower takes atleast 3x more time, to the point it’s not worth careing about them.

How is the loot and wxp for you compared to in the past? Will it be able to sustain whatever you are doing?
Did it take a hit, or was it improved? If you are planning to unlock an elite specialization,
do you think you were helped or hurt in these regards? Do you think you could pursue any other in-game goals just by playing WvW?
gains same amounts of WXP as before, if i choose to take shrines, more WXP. In my experince i get better materials, when i first get loot.
but it’s abselutly not enoth to sustain an income balance or use. feels like i gets somewhat more rares and exotics, but not much diffrence from before.

How will the map change impact the long sessions (multiple hours) you spend in WvW?
because of the new auto-upgrade system and hard towers and keeps + Bad loot. i spend more time in EB helping small groups and look for figths.
not much reason to attack camps or towers other then for figths. i spend most time in PvE and little time in sPVP (only for reward track)

In 100 words or less, describe how the new BLs could be improved.
In My Opinion!: bring back old alphine with manual upgrades (no cost, just player interaction), while desert boarderlands get’s an Redesigning.
Sugustion for changes:

• remove the verticality(make it 1 layer) and over-huge cliffs and flat out places for open field.
• Place towers more in range for siege keeps from towers to make them more tactical objectives.
• Reduse the amount of guards surounding gates and around walls on keeps and towers (also reduse on camps) OR reduse respawn rate.
• Remove middle event with someting diffrent. “king of the hill” maybe can replace this?? or make it somewhat flatt so that GvG’s can happen in middle of map.
• redesign towers. to simpler design and more walls and gates that can be taken down.
• nerf lords in keeps and towers.
• flat out area’s between keeps and towers.
• introduce scouting rewards (like one of the commanders that got interviewd by Reyana)
• introduce Reward track or other type of reward system.

In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a new WvW player.
New players that choose an server in high tire maybe find it little fun, but if they choose lower tire server will find almost empty maps and the “large scale open pvp” they heard about will be
very disepointing for them and go back to PvE or sPVP.

In 100 words or less, describe how the borderlands work to a veteran WvW player that is new to the maps.
alphine map have been here for about 3 years. when an sudden huge change, withour much communication to the community that have keept WvW alive for so long gets ignored.
this will make vetrans irritated, then the try the new system and map, they get an culture shock and meet angry players complaining about the new changes, Lag, new PvE event in middle, OP spells,
hard time for roamers and solo roamers. and to top it off, still bad rewards as always.

Which map am I most likely to find you currently, if you’re on Gw2?
PvE farming for fashion. and EB then i feel like it. don’t care about boarderlands anymore or server pride. just goes to EB try to figth and join in small groups cap objectives and defend.

amazing post, fozzik!
hope some dev’s at least reads the post
