If you are talking about the alliance system yeah, I dont think it was a good idea to scrap servers identity and friendships built over years. 😞
My theory is lack of group identity in USA culture, completly missing in American psychology books, whereas we are riddled with it - I know you won't be interested but Tajfel and Reicher have written well on this. "our membership of groups is part of our self concept" Social identity theory.
Hard to get that buzz of loyalty going when all you have is either one guild or random placements all over the place

make WvW maps populated evenly between servers.
hahahahahahaha
For some reason the powers that be are unable to do this ... or do not want to do it ... no idea really
I think USA servers and Euro servers might have different ambience? On my server anyone asks in chat for small roaming team or help to get warclaw or just for help coz they are new get grabbed by some kind soul/s
And lesson number one is "DON'T BE LAST" as my friend is always saying (along with "are you dead yet?")

Some players recieved today an ingame-mail stating there will be a WvW World Restructuring Beta starting next Friday. But not all players got that mail. I havn't read anything about it before.
Question: Will there be a Beta next week or was that mail an error?

One server is camping four maps from two teams, impressive.
Nit sure you have got the idea, 1 server is dominating all 4 maps and the other servers can do eff all bout it except log off and wait a week - got it now?

The lack of effort from Anet in wvw just shows we are not buying gems with real money and are not worth any investment
This last week was totally rubbish and just reminds me how little Anet has the professionalism to actually understand wvw from Europe servers.

3 people should be able to defend for awhile until help arrives if the Tower has been prepped. This game mode has objectives, it's not just players killing players like someone tried to say above. If you just want a flat piece of ground with totally balanced sides taking turns hitting each other, then this isn't the game for you.
Well said!!

Doesn't matter, anet will always cater to the less courageous, simps, d bags etc. They are the bread and butter of anet in wvw. So don't expect anything to deviate from that.
Nonono they cater to d bags who are ganking thieves that bounce across the map, becoming dot on horizon, then bounce back to stab and kill and stomp, less courageous pfft!

I dont want stronger walls, because that means less fights/combat
just delete arrow carts, or give 5man target cap, which also works with your "unfair for small groups"-argument
shield gen gives more combat, which is important. It was needed because there are so many spots for siege that cannot be countered from outside in any other way.
Doh! Stronger walls gives more time for defenders to get there, therefore more body bags as result of fights!

It seems a very cheap way of providing content - make players do it all again and (as far as Rose Quartz goes) make it take a very very looooong time

I usually run with a build that has ZERO sustain and not even I want pulls removed. In my experience, if you get pulled you (in order from most to least likely):
- Are standing on a wall, far, FAR too close to the edge
- Are running in a straight line
- Are standing in the back of a group trying not to be noticed (but they can smell your lack of confidence)
- Are being focused because you are a threat
Am standing miles away and get yanked right over the kitten wall!

@Sylvyn.4750 said:Just remember that we voted on the official Anet poll on this topic several years back and it was made clear that if DBL was voted out of the rotation entirely, Anet would not put any resources to making new WvW maps in the future, so we voted to keep DBL in the rotation, and for some it was a bitter pill, but they swallowed it to have any hope at all for new maps in WvW. However, we're still waiting for those resources to come to fruition as we still haven't seen a new map, but perhaps it is just taking a backseat to class balancing and server/alliance restructuring.Always nice to have a gun pointed towards your head in a discussion.ROFL!Don't be silly - wvw does not exist, it will not even get a mention in next expansion pack and they certainly will not do anything that thye have promised, balancing?? They were going to do it every few weeks, think they said that about a year ago? They would be shooting themselves in the head to make alliances about guilds - they need gem cash!

Arena have ruined wvw - in many ways, but making walls and gates paper thin has just taken all the pleasure out of defending objectives. As soon as a place is under attack - the outer is down, call for help and use of EWP and then inner is down - it is pathetic. I stopped playing wvw for nearly a year when this 1st happened and now feel so angry that they have done nothing to improve it

@"Tuchanka.5148" said:they've fighted and learnt to hate for yearsI want to reply to this specific line: there is no place for hate in Guild Wars 2. Hateful behavior should be reported and we regularly take actions about hate speech. If you see any within the game (or on the forums for that matter!), please follow these instructions:- Right click on the player's character
- Click on the small portrait of the player near the top and center of your screen
- Select "Report"
- On the Player Conduct Report panel choose a reason for your report from the drop-down menu
Hmmm, you know this is a game? And if we want to hate the enemy server then gamewise we are allowed toThere is a difference between game hate and real life hate ...I have done hatefull things in this game e.g. pew pew'd an afk enemy (I justify it by saying he chose poorly) - we had a whispered chat about it, I had to explain I am hopeless player and can only kill stationary objects, offered him sweeties not to revenge kill me)Think you got wrong end of stick with Tuchanka's post, Steph

@"Kylden Ar.3724" said:Now Blobgate can flip a T3 tower before you can even get defenders to be aware of it.You mean the T3 towers which has basicly had perma watchtower on them since tactivators where released? Yeah its real easy to sneak those.Do not need to sneak them - just wander up, slap some seige down and be on Lord before defenders have finished typing "20 reds at garri - 4 rams, 2 golems, need help!"I do wonder if you actually play wvw or if you just like the sound of your own voiceAs shown in your next comment - which I really do not understand "I have literally never seen a commander capable of hiding his zerg while fiddling around with "secretive" sieges. They walk up to the door slap down 6-8 rams and take it. A treb siege or cata siege from outside balloon range takes alot longer and for the former cost alot more. And if defenders fail to notice that 50+ are on the border taking their buffer camps/towers objectives well then it doesnt matter how fast they then take major objectives, defenders have already lost."Unless you are agreeing with us - that new thin walls and gates have changed the gameplay to the point of many people not wanting to take part in wvw anymore because objectives CANNOT be defended

@sephiroth.4217 said:...I think Alliances will be a fancy way of saying Megaserver.
Ah - megaservers are cheaper to run? That would explain why ANET are doing it, always bare in mind that their reason for doing anything is to reduce costs/increase profits
@"Inoki.6048" said:... Fewer commanders = less joint action (what makes WvW most fun and what it's really about = teamwork).
This is exactly what they find impossible to think of, or take into account. WvW stream each week is kill or be killed - totally NOT the game many enjoy where working together in teams is central to game pleasure, USA a culture of separate individuals - Europe a culture of groups. Any psychology textbook shows this - social psychology being totally different in USA compared with Europe, and ANET actually waste resources working collaboratively with USA researchersSuch a shame - I hear that "in the old days" people would actually go to Lion's Arch and ask for help to defend a garri (used to take 10 mins to break into, seige being weaker, walls and gates stronger, builds less overpowered) - wonderful way of building server pride, must have been fun in those days ...

@"subversiontwo.7501" said:a ) > ... the ability to play with friends without paying gems ...b) the possibility of some resurging pride and competition, etc. ... If there is no balance the pride and competition will disappear again.c) It absolutely amazes me that the WvW community has not rioted more or gone more extinct than it has. That is an absolute eloge to the community and a testament to the power of RvR design.
a) for a game that survives by people buying gems this would def be a reason why Anet would be suicidal if it brought in Guild Alliances, all the pvpers that play wvw now would just join the guilds with the most loot bag record - no more gems needed means less income for the game, unlikely to happenb) Can not have much server pride when bandwaggoners leap from server to server, we get server pride from social group identity, something that is not studied in USA psychology (see the psychology research Anet is involved with - very American) European psychology includes memberships of social groups giving us an identity and in return we grant our loyalty to them - This is what server pride should be. Will not get this with guild alliances for same reason as server pride is reduced now: loot bags being the only loyalty some players have.c) From what I hear a number of things have depleted the population in wvw (do we/Anet know any actual figures?), power creep being one, ppk being another, and bandwaggoning so that Huge Blobs of players are in the top 2 tiers and small groups cannot do anything w/o being obliterated. Back before walls and gates were made weaker at least a small group could defend an objective - now a tier 3 garri can have outer and inner broken in 1 minute 54 seconds by a blob. Eloge I had to look up - good phrasingd) Anet are not interested in players' quality of game life. Are we able to suggest any way they can make profit out of their wvw players (skins for new mount was step in right direction)
Suggestions
- How about a trial week where there is no ppk? People could claim and defend objectives, working together as a group, instead of running in relative silence with a commander
- Poor Anet devs who have-a-go at wvw each week were surprised we use discord/TS for organising - little wonder they think wvw is all about killing and being killed, not much server pride for them ...
- Please put back the walls and gates at their previous strength - so we have time to say in TS or Team chat that we are under attack - and our allies can come to defend. this would make objectives a thing of pride again - atm they are being reduced to a karma train

Leave Soulbeast as it is please - unless you gonna mess with thief as well
