Guild Wars 2

I tested Soulbeast in wvw. Shame that Dolyak stance was bugged, I was hoping to make a wvw frontline build with it.

I saw this thread and instantly got inspired to go for a little Ghost Hunt! I searched EBG for ghosts for like 2 days and finally just found one… Or he actually found me.

In the start I am fighting some ranger, but at 9 second mark you see the first signs of paranormal activity going on.

Not sure if I understand this. I have some questions.

1. So now EU has 27 servers. Would we have 54 in the future?

2. At the moment the 27 servers are divined into 15 Linked Worlds and 5 matchups. How many Linked Worlds we would have in the future?

3. How many servers can be linked together? Is 3 max?

I started my roaming as a meditation guardian. (Like 2 years ago) and I IMO I did fine. I had good mobility via 2 teleports and a leap and I felt like I can fight almost anyone on equal grounds.

Then I made my thief for roaming purposes too and I really sucked with it : D I kept losing and losing and losing. I only won fights where I surprised my opponent… After a lot of practice I was able to become “average” thief and win maybe 50% of my fights… With medi guardian I had more success even though I was a total noob to wvw.

Even though I agree with you that thief is probably the overall best I must say that its not easy to be good on a thief and even though I consider myself still a noob I beat most thieves on my vanilla medi guard

Potential (controversial) additional change:

• While the above change takes steps to bring the value of off-hours coverage in-line, there’s a good chance it’ll still be overvalued. If that’s the case (and we’ll eventually poll on this), then we have plans for an additional system.
• This is the Action Level – Victory Point Multiplier system
  • This system would multiply the Victory Points awarded by Skirmishes based on map populations and time of day.
  • During prime time hours, the multiplier would always be at it’s maximum of 3.
  • During off hours, the multiplier might stay at 3 or drop to 2 or 1, depending on on activity level.
  • It’s important to include map populations as a factor, to make the system more fair for off hours players and its important to include time-of-day as a factor to prevent a winning team from trying to keep the score muliplier low by exiting WvW

This action point system isn’t something that is coming yet or anything. It is just a possibility and comes if the new system isn’t good and they will make a poll before it would be implemented.

System seems good to me. Winning the skirmish gives same amount of points if the prime time players win it or if the off time players win it.

I don’t understand why people are complaining that this change makes their gameplay somehow less valuable.

The Ventari Ele.5812:

First rule of WvW: Red = Dead.

Dont expect other players to leave you to your 1v1 just because you would.

4 years and still we get people posting threads like this.

What is wrong with my thread?

I am not expecting players to play in a certain way nor am I asking anyone to play in a certain way. I don’t blame people for ganking up on others and I dont blame them for watching their allies die because helping is against their code of honor.

There are no rules like “Red = Dead.” in wvw. That is just something you have made up in your own head. That is something I try not to do.

My goal is more to better understand what people do and why.

King Cephalopod.7942:

On topic: I don’t see why this is so much of a discussion.

This is a discussion because I want to understand how other players play the game.

Other players enjoy different things and make different decisions because of that. I for example would find 2v1 fight waste of my time because it doesnt satisfy me at all and the reward of 1 lootbag is kinda useless to me. For some other player the enemy must die is the very important thing and they enjoy hunting down and destroying their opponents!

Also I believe most of the 1v1 fights aren’t duels that people have agreed to. Its people moving from point A to B and just meeting in the middle by accident and end up fighting. Also there are thieves who hunt for lone targets ect.

Even more that what you do I am actually interested on why you do what you do.

For example many people seem to say that they choose to join a 1v1 fight because for them its fun to see opponents rage. For some the reason is getting revenge and few players are after loot. Good reason seems also be red is dead.

I also noticed that for a lot of people the answer changes if the 1v1 in progress is a duel that people have agreed to take or if it is just a random encounter in the wilderness.

elkirin.8534:

Step one for me is always to walk into clear sight.

Step two is variable depending on a huge amount of factors including the result of step one.

I can not answer a poll with answers more restrictive than “my” possible outcomes.

Do you suggest I should add more possibilities next time I make a poll? Usually I try to keep things simple and force people to make a choice that reflects the thing that they do most often.

How many choices should there be in one poll? Or maybe I should make a possibility to say “other – please explain in comments”… Then again I don’t want to do that since that way the poll itself becomes meaningless if too many players vote other.

Or maybe I should add a statement that “if the poll choices are too limited choose the option that best reflects how you dealt with the situation last time it happenent”

Hi!

I am Viikate and I like polls. I want to know what people think and why they do what they do. I don’t want to tell anyone how they should play the game. This is a question that sometimes comes to my mind when I play at the Eternal Battleground and read mapchat or see something happen.

Here is link to the strawpoll question: http://www.strawpoll.me/10073753

And here is the question written again:

You see a friendly player engaged in single combat against an enemy player at the side of Stonemist castle. What do you do?

Additional notes:

• There are no other players around
• No objective is in direct danger
• You see no mentions of a duel in either say chat or emote log

And here are the possible answers for reference, you find them on the poll too:

1. Join the battle and defeat the enemy together with your ally.
2. Stay and observe. If our ally is losing you go and help him/her.
3. Ask if your ally needs help. Act based on his/her answer.
4. Observe the fight. If you ally loses you let him/her die and engage the enemy after.
5. Keep walking.

Feel free to comment on your answer here on the forums.

GJ OP!

This is relevant matter and with those screenshots and quick notes you explain the problem clearly and efficiently.

I hope we see more posts like this from other forum users too!

So do you really want to take player versus player out of wvw : D

If you just want to hit gates and guards go to EotM, there are no queues.

I don’t think there is any clear meta . I have seen different guilds run very different builds on their players. For example guardians come in different variations: Old School shout build, dragonhunter with gs/lb, dragonhunter with damage traps, full nomad shout build ect.

Some guilds might have a mix of different guardians too! Heavy support dudes with healing power and shouts and few more dps focused dragonhunters for Bow #5.

Long time ago I made a vote thread to gandarran forum asking “What do you do when you see an 1v1 fight”

If I recall correctly about

• 33% would always add into a fight.
• 33% would add only if there was an objective like a camp in stake
• 33% would never add, even if it meant servermate dying.

It seems gandara forum has been destroyed sometime this year so I can’t be sure. Not like it that matters much since only <100 pll even voted.
