So what's stopping an organised zerg from all playing heal bots babysitting the carrier all the way back to score ez points and no one ever dying? Just seems like there'd be too many loopholes.

Being in squad or in a party gives you the following opportunities: Boon + buff prioritySquad/sub-group chatLieutenant capabilities + shared participationAble to recognize squad markers for better focus targetDue to boons + buffs you're probably doing slightly more concentrated dmg i.e; securing tagged killsTotal supplies carriedSub-squad player health easily identifiableAnd probably a few more... Being inside a squad is better than being outside a squad - vice-versa for parties but it mostly boils down to boon + heal priority. This doesn't mean you cannot perform outside of a squad, it only means you must play more carefully in terms of positioning, situational awareness etc. It certainly helps if you're playing a support build but if you're dps then you may need to wait until your zerg has baited the enemy bomb or begins pushing through before fully committing. If anything I can recommend being outside of squad is to have your own stability + stun break and/or leap/teleport of some kind if you get pulled, always stick close to tag. Hope that helps answer your question.

Only after game/profession balance... there are far more important things to cover first. Idk I see quite a lot of diamond leggies + ultimate doms even in pve unless it's just me seeing the same players on diff chars. Now, I'm not supposed to give my opinion but... Remember when ANet introduced legendary armor for wvw aka rank 2k to unlock chest piece? That unleashed an immeasurable can of babyrage. When you tie rewards/goals to long term stuff aka for veterans it enrages the mass of snowflakes... they should just do it for the lulz.

max size of pop in map imo. Pretty much this. The real reason is most likely that ANet doesn't want us to find out how many players from a single server can truly fit on a map if everyone joins squad then compare it to another server (though I highly doubt such a mass of players would be willing to work together for a simple number count). Imagine the babyrage if server x could fit 10 more players on the map than server y... lul

They have full-time dedicated scoutsThey use comms consistentlyThey respond to call-outs consistentlyThey don't overstretch things they intend to hold because they play the mode as intended. siege, scouts, communication, numbers, and quality. do their 3 Borderland maps stay full?Reset was 41 tops EBG for ~2 hrs + dwindled fast, other maps no queues. I rarely play NA only reset days.. you'll see 1-2 maps queued that's bout it. Hope that helps answer your question.

Can they still join if you block them?

Full dire max out burn duration and go to town on pugs + siege. Stuff melts, you'd be surprised how many ppl don't bat an eye or forget you exist and the funniest is when they keep pew pew'ing into your WoR. Sure it's fun on a personal level but taking it into a squad might raise a few eyebrows once they notice your food buffs... 80% of the time they just want you for your stability/boons regardless of specialization.

You had me in the first half but it went a little wayward from there. Some things I agree with. You want a new map yeah - but do you trust them to give us a map that isn't DBL hell 2.0; especially DBL on release when they ignored literally every sane person's input on how to improve/fix the map asap? Furthermore how exactly does a map fix the plethora of problems that is, to say the least, the core issues voiced by the community with WvW's population/timezone + profession/class imbalance, stale meta, small class diversity, no in-depth scoring higher tiered objectives, no support for vets, no incentive to win, murdered server identity, bandwagoning, server lag, no GvG support, powercreep expansions, no action against hackers/spies, no communication other than catering to casuals etc? Be careful what you wish for: "Take note of what the players are saying, and do things based off of that within reason. " Because many of the vets have long gone - that one guy who kept trolling/baiting forums with "give WvW mounts" got exactly what he wished for and didn't we all enjoy the exploit-fiesta that was and still is, to a lesser degree - warclaw?

Thanks Cookie for everything; fun, honor & discipline the best commander to run alongside always aim for the best wishing you well in future endeavors, mate! <3

Eotm is a waiting room for when WvW has queues.

I used to /bow after good fights, however the toxicity of PvP made people think I was doing it as an insult...so I started /salute Yeah you're better off with /salute... /bow usually means you are ready to duel or asking to engage in one.

Tell us more how exactly someone who was permastealth managed to destroy you without breaking stealth... I thought trapper thief died ages ago? Unless this is a new build someone's found.

Stab + stun break... don't worry it prob won't last long coz it'll be WoD 2.0 and get changed/nerfed to compensate for those who don't care to bring stab or stun breaks in WvW.

People have already done the math but my 2 cents: herald. Glint/ventari healbot from back in the HoT days. Didn't dwayna runes get buffed? Can't remember... might wanna just run monk runes or w/e highest healing output. All the regen associated with that build dishes out some sick heals, especially burst heals from tablet. I recall seeing players literally 15%-100% HP in backline getting hammered just drop your tablet on them and boom, full HP many a time. Pugging zerg is a bit difficult you most likely need a FB to babysit you with stab + boons but yeah, definitely a fun support regen build. If you can combo the burst heals with FB tome F2 skill number 5 then ma ma mia... you gonna get some phat heals out regen for days.

I like gaining heavy loot bags + the sweet symphony accompanying those bags in the delicate form of whispers; salty orphan tears. Keep close thy holy Packet of Salt, comrades. Sprinkle the love - sharing is caring!

Great AoE damage and CC Exactly what we need more of in WvW because HoT + PoF didn't give us enough... brilliant.

l2p trashnoob builddecap ffsSweet symphony....

You can have my vote. Would look good without the holo exterior.

Because every time they open their mouth what feels like the entire playerbase takes it as a golden sealed deal promise blowing things out of proportion, then when things go awry or slightly changed on release the entire playerbase screeches from the depths of the abyss about how it wasn't done properly or is missing x or isn't good enough etc. So it's better to just zip the lip and release content "when it's ready" (exactly like one of the lead devs stated years ago) so as not to shatter the almighty god-tier sky-high expectations of the mass of crying children.

Maybe because I go to WvW to enjoy the game mode for what it is; crushing enemies skulls beneath my boots & laying waste to their territory which is rewarding enough for me.

I was legit afraid to click the link in fear it would be obby wep skins on release aka maccas fries shield but ngl that shield is alright. It looks gilded, tbf I couldn't care less what they called it.... but it looks like a Mist Opportunity.

Dead game reeeeMuuum x server is blobbing againhol up..

Block feature works, report anything that breaches ToS/rules.

Telstra, Brisbane. I miss my old location/home, I used to sit at solid 245. Since moving to the hinterland... I've always had the following: PvE: 280-300PvP: ~300WvW: ~310 or when lag hits it can be 400-600 spikes at times but returns to normal after a while Hope that gives you some insight.
