What started the WvW decline

Killing the official matchup forums.

Every player who has an account for GW2 can participate in discussion on the official forums, whereas they need to make an account to participate in the community driven websites. This seems like a relatively small User Experience difference, but many people on the official forums would consider the time cost of making the GW2wvw.net account and the amount of enjoyment they’ll get out of participating in the PvF on those matchup threads and they just kinda go “Meh” maybe later.

When every player had an easy and 100% efficient way of communicating with other servers, there was more server politics, rivalries, and other such fun that comes with PvF. That has been slowly dying out as servers get more and more disconnected from each other.

example: There are about 150-200 WvWders that I see almost every day on my server (NA PST-OCX). less than 10 of them come and PvF on the matchup threads with me.

At the end of the day, communication is what made the difference.

Is there any way to bind skill 1 & interact F to a single key? I hope they add this in Feature patch.

My heart pumps every time I’m on a cannon and see a red dot 1500 range away. I fire a shot, he dodgerolls. He stares into my soul and confronts my existence. Realizing he didn’t stand a chance, he walks off.

I’ve never known greater dominance of another. Thank you Devon.

From my Experience with Maguuma So Called Roamer’s is when its 1vs1 they start running for the hills or just run into they find guildies they turn on you right away once they out number you.

Where are the mag roamers at this time? I’m on SoR BL not sure where the guys in front of BG spawn went.

Mag is dead soon as midnight PST rolls around, no roamers or zergs GG

That’s because once the clock strikes midnite, our zerg ball turns into a pumpkin, and our roamers turn back into mice.

Some ANET interfered with our GvG

Thread is going to be closed for sure.

When players act out their displeasure at the lack of certain game modes (cough GvG) by making their own ghetto version, the correct response is to look at why people aren’t playing the modes that you are offering and either improve those modes or start offering the modes that clearly have demand.

Anet went with “shut down this new mode and hope they play our other modes that we are not going to change”, can’t imagine anything good coming from people who think like that.

Perfect example: GunZ
That game, developed by a small korean developer, was meant to played in a certain way, but due to a bug/glitch, people played it completely different. in the end, the developer embraced this new playstyle and promised never to fix it and make it part of the game, which resulted in the game to be really successful. THAT is how you run a game.

If a small random korean company can figure that out, so can you. Ok, sure you don’t have the resources to support gvgs at this time. Fine, but actively interrupting community-driven events, that are actually helping you keep your player-base while they wait for a better future seems like the most …… ….. thing to do. GvGs don’t hog resources. It’s not like we’re asking you to make an entire new gamemode of the scale of WvW or Pve. Just something small. Still no resources? fine, but let us be.

If we want to gvg, we will gvg. It’s not our fault for having this mentality, it is what Colin has been boasting about the game for years:

Colin Johanson

It’s extremely important that we stay true to our philosophy that you should be able to play Guild Wars 2 the way you want to play the game

If you really mean this, then let us play the way we want to play

Well I learned today while there are a lot of pretty cool people on Maguuma, there’s also a few jerks who like being total kittens. Was sitting in the south camp on YB borderland with a few Mags,1 CD guy and a couple other people from YB. we already had the whole map, so there wasn’t much left to do on there anyway so I was just screwing around. We all sat down, in our town clothes. There was one charr from Mag who was playing on that flute and was pretty good. We were just hanging out, obviously not fighting eachother since we were in our town clothes. even had a costume brawl with one of them who I threw a bouquet of roses at. Anyway, two thieves with the guild tag NOVA roll up. I assume they’re just going to sit down with us. They stealth and start ganking everyone. obviously we died since we were still in our town clothes, sitting down. I was able to react and get away a bit before eventually being killed by the other thief. who then proceeded to laugh and dance as if they’d accomplished something great by killing a bunch of people who didn’t even fight back. Real classy guys. I now know that people in your guild have no sense honor whatsoever and that I should attack you on sight.

Im honestly surprised you died to NOVA in town clothes.

Why are people only complaining about the kite in the EB JP? The real problem is that kite in the cliffside fractal. I entered the fractal thing for the first time to go look for it and some robot with about a million HP kept pew pewing me with lightning that hit for around 5k. Most OP thing I’ve ever seen. It would be easier to go 1v10 against thieves in the EB JP than trying to kill that thing.

Letting enemies through is griefing your server mates. Those red names are going to attack your allies on top. The achievement does not excuse anyone from pvp battles in the pvp zone.

The solution to thief stealth problem:

1) stop being noob

2) block/dodge every single attack 100% perfectly, even when thief is stealth

3) lie about killing thief in post to show you are pro

Why do commanders ask us to stack...

in WvW

Posted by: Laeir.5197

Laeir.5197

Do NOT be fooled by your commander’s call to Stack. He wants to count your supply and under no circumstances should you let him know if you have any. Instead you should go take that sentry point to get WXP for free sieges to throw down at the next tower and build with YOUR supply.

If you do end up in a Zerg Stack, it is very important that you lay down all your Darkness, Poison, Smoke, and Light Fields. This will prepare your Zerg Stack to counter a veiled enemy Zerg Stack with Retaliation, Weakness, Blindness, and Stealth. The benefits are too numerous to enumerate.

When your commander moves out, it is very important not to follow immediately. We must wait and move out one by one so that, like Sand People, we will travel single file to hide our numbers. We all know the enemy will flee before us if they suspect an even fight, so we must lure them into a false sense of security by trickling in a few at a time. And that is when we will CRUSH them with our superior tactics and fighting skills for they are bad and we are hot because we are us and they are not!

May the zerg be with you.

I like how people assign a qualitative (and even now quantitative) value to an aspect of a video game based on nothing more than an arbitrary appeal to their own subjective sense of superiority. But then absurdity is one of my favourite things in this world.

I love drama! I waste my entire life making bad GW2 pics to post on forums cause I need attention cause I get none in real life. I also am glad that commander left cause he was leading cause of skill lag to us in JP by leading zergs to their death in SM over and over.

DB won reset night… so by your logic you guys lost to an asian server outside of their primetime hours?

Maguuma actually doesn’t have an NA presence. We’re outmanned on all maps 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Get those 20 people into the same VOIP channel under a good leader and you can accomplish a lot but if you honestly strive to be one of the best at open-world combat it requires a lot of theorycrafting, a lot of practice sessions and a lot of chemistry building which can only be achieved within guild groups. So yes, you sir a mistaken there is a difference between militia and guilds.

I think the problem is that 90% of the guild groups are not doing any of the stuff in your list, and yet they are not militia. A five man could be doing everything on your list, and yet still be considered militia. The reality is if a decent leader pulled together a pug from different guilds that were known decent players, without practice and without built in chemistry, they would still rock most of the guilded opponents.

Is there a higher potential of skill in a guild group vs pug group, without question, but that skill potential is not realized in most cases and thus the general use of the term militia or pug becomes a point of contention.

The best way to preserve peace in the WvW JP is to kill the enemy so that only allies are left alive in the JP.

Your point total analysis is flawed because of the one of the major flaws in WvW. Once a weaker server is wiped from a map , especially their own BL, they have a much more difficult task to just regain what they lost and usually just give up on trying to take anything from that map. You need to be better to defend paper walls than against fortified and if you were better you wouldn’t have been wiped from the map in the first place.

You seem to miss the big part of this:

If a sever is so weak that is can be wiped from the map, down to it’s own borderlands, and if a Server is so strong that it can wipe another sever from the map to their own borderlands, at least 1 of these 3 servers should not be meeting up again next week.

End of Discussion.

Servers have primetimes at separate points during the day.
If one server in a tier has a strong oceanic or asian presence, they are going to capture at least one entire map overnight. This is not an indication that the servers are in the incorrect tier.

If either one is losing by or winning by a large margin, then it’s incorrect that they should be facing off next week.

Again. End of Discussion.

Having separate prime times does not mean the margin between scores will be large.

You post like you are speaking factually, but you show yourself to have less and less understanding of how wvw really works outside of anything but the final score count.

But you are right, this is the end of this discussion.
When you’re met with a logical argument you just copy numbers into your post and pretend they prove things they do not. Everything I’ve said remains completely valid and to continue with you would be redundant unless you choose to actually address any of my points.
