Guild Wars 2 Forum: The Library - WvW


Recommended Posts

  • ArenaNet Staff

Welcome to The Library, a sticky thread that will help get all the useful and important sticky threads from the WvW Guild Wars 2 forum in one place! Over the years these threads have accumulated at the top of this subforum and we thought that we'd try simplifying their management. You can suggest new threads to add and we'll consider them.

This event runs from 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on April 26 to 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on May 3.
While playing WvW during this time, you'll earn an additional 25% reward track progression and an additional 100% world experience. You'll also gain 50% magic find.

Update - April 23, 2019

World vs. World

Players can no longer contest capture points while mounted on a warclaw.
The Shadaran Hills and Askalion Hills capture points have been extended upward to cover the stairs leading down to the capture-point area.

Update - April 23, 2019
Guild Wars 2 Wiki Notes

Build: 96,406

Warclaw: Being dismounted for any reason adds a 5 second recharge on the Warclaw Mount skill. This includes damage, using the engage skill, or using the dismount skill.

Update - April 9, 2019
World vs. World

General

Gates and walls have had their damage mitigation normalized to the damage levels done to tier 1 (wood). All walls and gates should now take the same amount of damage from a siege attack.

I believe this post has earned enough views and useful comments at this point to have the right to be here. If you're ever confused on the major problems people have with WvW and what to get to fixing first. This guide should better help you @Anet make that decision <3

With the switch to another forum software, will the existing threads be moved over? or will we see something like The Library with important topics like World restructuring. There is a lot of great information in the threads, it would be a real shame for them to be lost like they never existed.

@"Diku.2546" said:Read the announcement & here's a direct quote from the posted article:

"All of your existing discussions and posts are being transferred over, and will still be available under the same URLs once the forums come back up on April 29."

That's great news. Thanks for the clarification Diku.

Quote: "The reasoning behind this approach is straightforward: WvW is a complicated game mode that’s played in numerous ways. Some players enjoy fights, some enjoy taking objectives, and some enjoy running away from fights (he-he). Experiences can even vary wildly between shards (we’re looking at you, Maguuma). "

 

 

lold, i actually like the exp when linked with mag lol... both server have deferent play styles but both kinda need both diferent styles.

I would say that the problem atm in wvw is that there are juggernout servers playing vs empty servers.

 

@Stephane Lo Presti.7258

https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/351/how-to-report-cheaters-or-exploiters

Leads to a page: 

Sorry, there is a problem

The page you requested does not exist

 

i kinda feel trolled :) 

Joking asside imo there should be some sorta  ruleset for those reports, some players have like 10 accounts in enemy map, burning supply, destroying  golems from cliffs, tactivators isn't much important imo but certainly is enervating to see how cheap players can be even when they are zerging a empty server and still use this tactics of multi account.
