    Well, I took from that old video, that managing resources would be vital, canons and burning oil would be dangerous for attackers 

    Those points didn't change. At least in small scale that I usually play in the early mornings (lack of players).
    Sure if you're a large organised meta zerg you can sustain it, but destroying canons and oil (and mortars and trebs,... whatever dangerous is in range) before dropping the siege is still a thing in large zergs.

    SMC would "require a major effort by an army of players" to conquer

    Like 2-3 players now if there aren't human defenders.
    I prefer at least 5 though, to make things easier and faster.

    You would earn XP and loot like in PvE

    Character leveling in wvw and thus skipping open world was so nice a decade ago xD

    But I doubt it was as good thing for wvw.

    Would the Old launch Devs Be Embarrassed if they Saw what Their WvW has Become?

    Don't know the old devs.

    But wvw didn't keep me playing GW2 back then. I quit after a year after release. And now I've been back and playing wvw for the past 3 years.

    I like the current meta change experiments.

    I wouldn't want the wvw from over a decade ago back.

    I'd say running on a mount to press f on a chest while not allowing any mob to as much as touch you for the "daily x minidungeon" or doing the same with a vista doesn't even exactly qualify for "playing pve"

    I participated in the Dragon Stand meta when the events on this map were daily. Played to the end. Aside from the unskippable brutal suicide sequence at the end, I like it, enjoy doing it. I do it when I get HP for my alts. Same with Tarir meta.

    I don't remember what daily it was that led me to Dry Top, I think some gathering. But I timed it with the skritt queen and often helped with the giant to pass the time.

    And when the right vista was daily, I often combined it with Tequatl. I haven't done that dragon since.

    I participated in the Silver Wastes meta, but I don't remember what motivated me to go there.

    Once I get lured to a map, I can easily get distracted and do more or different things :s

    You can pick pve+wvw if "playing pve too" is indeed your goal instead of "picking the easiest daily from the pack".

    Hell no. The one time I did that I got a heart as task. And one of the two things I totally, absolutely loathe in this game is doing map hearts. They're the reason I have so much trouble doing exploring.

  3. Playing a mode with other humans that is PvP and PvE in one. The tasks are always the same, but the execution differs depending on how the other side reacts. A game of cat and mouse.

    I just like mixed competitive modes like this. Not just pve and not just pvp.

    And it's the only place left of my language. And it offers a wide variety of tasks. And I can come and go whenever I want.

    Just give players the choice between all dailies and weeklies from all modes

    Like it was before.

    I used to play more pve because of it.

    Now I had to choose wvw because I play that mode often and the daily/weekly are often very easy (just playing like usual).

    But tbh I would like to get some pve tasks and spend more time there again. But without a motivation I wouldn't do that.

    I'd even like a monthly which includes to explore 1-2 pve maps (I'm such a lazy explorer and I really need a gift of exploration but can't motivate myself to keep going 😛)

    Lord ui change.... yeah we totally wanted to go deeper with playing with the lord mechanics in the pvp mode, totally. Thanks for the tip, if we hit tab he totally doesn't show up on my target first.

    It's for the defenders you dork 🤣

    I click like crazy to get him in target to tell the commander how much he has left.

    Tier 5 in NA and Tier 6 (LOL) in EU.

    Well, who does not expect a high population when the thing starts?

    The health bar for objective lords will now be displayed in the event UI, making their status much easier to track. Pro tip: clicking the lord’s health bar in the event UI will make them your active target.

    Haven't seen anybody asking for that but it's awesome. 👍

    We’re increasing the base-level and tier 3 supply capacities for keeps by 50 and increasing the amount of supply granted by the Supply Drop tactic by 100

    The actual problems on my server with the supply tactivator:

    1) People don't touch it. Run past it.

    2) People don't set it (they rather add the the dumb chill tacti)

    The dumb tacti sounds now even worse.

    If you want more information on items, one of the fastest way is to enter the chat-code /wiki + shift click on the item or just/wiki and the term / topic you are looking for.

    OMG, thanks. Didn't know I can look up items that way. I used to type them in wiki xD

    I sort of agree, but the reason you knew nothing about jade bots is you skipped to the final map of the expansion without learning on the way - Jade Bots and their mastery have a whole tutorial when you reach a certain point in the story.

    Starts first thing after you arrive in Kaineng.

    When you get Jade Bot stuff dropped in Seitung though, a beginner will have no clue.

    On the other hand, no one told me that I better store legendary fish because on the last map of EoD is a baby turtle that wants exactly the fish I salvaged before ;_;
    (And collecting the rare ones is a good idea for an Arborstone trader too - at least rare fish isn't that rare as legendary fish)

    I have this feeling since EoD.

    I had that feeling when EoD was released and I felt so alone in Kaineng, especially considering it was a brand new release at the time. (But it seems the majority took a lot more time to get there, as weeks later the map was just as busy as I expected it to be).

    In contrast, SotO was immediately well populated.

    Is the game less crowded each day?

    It feels like its dying out a bit which isnt strange with the "big" content drops every patch...

    Which maps or events do you mean?

    I have no complaints about the main maps or expansion maps. On the contrary. I've already had to stop my world exploration because other players made it difficult for me to get hearts because 3 players making the same heart is apparently already too much for some hearts.

    Where I notice fewer players is on some maps of the seasons. I recently made Bjora Marches and Istan. And for one Istan meta there were always very few players to make it. About 10 players. On other maps like Jahai Bluffs were always a lot of players moving around here and there, even for the meta there were a lot of players.

  9. I have had lags at the prime times (especially when resetting) in wvw, since just before the last wvw beta and have been playing wvw for over 3 years and never knew such things. My computer and provider have remained the same.

    While many players had the same problem at the time it started for me, it seems to have disappeared for many now. But not all of them. And I belong to the circle of not all.

    The strange thing is that I can play for about 20-30 minutes before the lagging starts, which shows itself in skill lags first and is then followed by poor ping, which leads to general lags (like jerky movement). I can then no longer continue wvw and then go to pve or leave the game.

    I haven't noticed any lags in pve metas yet though. Since I created new chars that went on the HoT maps for the hps, I've also participated in some metas, like Tarir, Chak, and  Mordremoth.

    What do you think?

    That it sounds like adding more pve.

    I spent 20 minutes in SM on and around the Lord today. All 3 servers were fighting for that one room. There was no telling whether or not we would be able to keep the other two zergs at bay while clearing the circle and capping...

    This is my favorite WvW.
    And no side used the current boonball meta.
    Such an entertainment.

    More PvE troops don't improve this fun, they just make it annoying.

  11. I started as a ranger and while a pet is nice when it distracts enemies, my ranger took quite a bit of damage when the enemies came to me. I had to dodge more. Fight with more foresight. I gave up my ranger when I got to HoT. The damage curve was too steep, the enemies too annoying. I switched to revenant (heavy armor class). You won't have it (HoT class).
    Later in PoF I tried again with my ranger, and it was difficult at times in areas with high respawn rates. So I tried warrior, and it was chill compared to my ranger.

    I recommend the warrior if you ever plan on buying an expansion. Otherwise, it doesn't matter. The main maps are simple. Play whichever you like better in terms of playstyle. I can't see any difference in difficulty between ranger and warrior if only the main maps are played. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

    I had fun with both.

    Every time I make a legendary that's the last thing I have to do

    You can trade laurels for t1-6 bags in the pvp lobby.
    T3 and 4 trades have the highest value, means you're better off to trade laurels for t3 and 4 bags and sell the mats to buy t6 mats from that gold.
    Use the laurels from the vault.

    There are a lot of changes I'd see before I saw this, so yeah, if there's a list of stuff to implement, this would be pretty low down my list.

    I wonder what rank on your list the choice of a background from any expansion on the character loading screen was. And yet it happened.

    A better squad/group system benefits a large amount of players. Such things can be annoying in other situations as well but the one the OP takes as example.

    And when Anet touches the system, there's hope other things may be improved too. E. g. As support, I would like to see my group in a squad.
