Everyone: complains about blobgateEremite: let's lock blobgate into T4 to incentivise climbing outEveryone: can't climb out coz it's 10 man vs blobgate mapqueueEveryone: surprised pikachu Out of all the threads you make, this is legit the best one so far.

It's useful in pvp/wvw only from my experience... same with warrior. Imagine if they they just split how those skills function entirely between pve + pvp....

I don't know if it will be tomorrow but I'm sure many of us agree that it will be...

This is common stuff if you've been around for years, at least for WvW. Fake promises, over-hyping, rarely pulling through with what they said they were working on, no road maps, nada.

Let's face it, if we can't even get a dismount skill 6+ months after mount has been in WvW then I highly doubt whatever devs are left care enough about adjusting it any further.

I already have meta asc sets for the mode I play most which is WvW. Seldom does the meta change, fb minstrel, necs power or cele etc... this late into the game surely I'm not the only one that carries around 2 sets per char like one for supp one for dmg? I won't be crafting leggy stuff ever because perm upgrade extractor exists + relatively cheap to stat swap in MF. Unless the devs make it asc 2.0 then go power creep into leggy rarity I guess I would try keep up with the pack... not worth the cost as it stands. Build temps coming they said?

EDIT: nvm, OP posted info. In that case just gather your guild in a place your team owns e.g; tower away from enemies. But it's always been like this even with banners + regular food trays.

Or maybe just balance skills/traits properly?

"Terry get off the nodes stay on tag ffs n00b stop squirrelling." /s

"would actually bring some ppl into wvw" You might mean well but... I think WvW players would appreciate new blood who are keen to actually involve/be interested in wvw at face value so they can recruit these likeminded folk instead of those only in it for pve ktrain-fest then leave the moment the event is over. imho instead of more shinies/rewards they should focus on improving gameplay/balance first...

Don't let fear overrun you, as long as you are well equipped it won't be overwhelming. First thing is gear yourself for zerging on a class that the com will value & appreciate your efforts; guard, necro, rev, engi elite specs are all worthwhile since you don't have PoF. You need to decide if you wanna play support or dps you can check out websites like metabattle or vabbi builds for appropriate guidance. As for gear dont worry about asc you can grab cheap exo off TP, from experience and only as example if I were to play poor man's support guard/DH I'd just take half cleric half shaman gear off TP and fill in stats with food/exquisite jewels etc. Find a guild group on your server who are recruiting they can teach you the basics and all about fights positioning is key and definitely install w/e communication program your server/guild prefers (TS, discord to name a couple). Take an extra weapon you can switch out to grant swiftness and immediately switch back since you don't have warclaw... the good coms will run on foot to accommodate those w/o mounts or maybe they're just so used to traversing WvW oldschool. It may be in a worse state but there's nothing stopping you from trying WvW out, see for yourself.

Soon™?

No one:OP: Let's reinforce pirate ship meta one step further even though we've been in this meta for years - by changing how reflects work (max 10 stacks). By doing so, friendly neighbourhood pew pews & fellow bearbow comrades can unite against the zerg if they are not already picking daisies, off tag or dying randomly to retaliation after landing barrage on an NPC instead of clearing siege.

Looks like you're playing the game mode as intended. Red is dead, go cap stuff kill some players along the way... you know, WvW stuff. Anyone who says otherwise is a fragile snowflake that probably wandered too far from PvE into the WvW portals by mistake.

But what if they don't have the numbers to combat whatever is rolling them on the field therefore they need to wait until more people join tag? It'd be silly to run off like lemmings and feed the enemy without adequate numbers. I find it funny they gave Firebrands "stand your ground"10 target increased from 5 targets instead of giving it to some other profession skill e.g; mesmer mantra of concentration.

Get t6 participation by flipping camps + repairing smc walls to get the reward track done (don't need to keep up don't need to follow a tag don't get left behind don't get stomped because you're safely inside smc taps head)... then go to eotm and solo a keep like any super awesome dedicated pve player should be able to kill them champs with the right build in no time! Don't quit you can do eeeet!

Wants to make things easier to break into but wants to add more walls/gates to make it... not easier to break into? Is 20+ outer walls to get to inner not enough accessibility? Is 3 inner gates not enough access? 3 servers.... 3 inner gates... perfectly balanced.... as all things should be. If anything you make a fair point with the inaccessibility of inner siege; third floor trebs in particular are annoying.

no we need moar lazerbeam. plz give flying mount with lazerbeam eye disintegrate smc from map in 1 click only pl0x

What if they're secretly waiting for similar games to come out so they can 'borrow' and improve on the idea? I know that's super far fetched but right now there's little to no competition and zero incentive to do anything about it until someone comes along with something bigger & better.

I partially agree; it will affect pugs/new players who aren't in any major WvW guilds. Outside of that most guilds are in TS or discord + have other well known guild leaders added. All it takes is to check server discord or friend/follower list to see what BL another guild is on so I doubt there's confusion.

People non-stop cry about blobs 24/7 in WvW. What happens when you tag up but wish to run small scale/guild only to improve together as a guild and focus on other objectives? Everyone and their mother flocks to you. Having the ability to tag invisible helps break up the blob mentality.

From a regular player pov: As much as it's loathed among players, pin snipe squad might be your answer. If they don't have a backup that can immediately take over most guilds will fold once com goes down/dead. This is what separates good from bad. If the com is mes then pin snipe will be more difficult since distortion/stealth can throw off + avoid incoming snipes but if they're firebrand then feel free to chain a few soulbeast's unblockable + sic em. It doesn't necessarily mean produce a down, but enough to chunk off a large portion of HP in hopes that they backpedal out of position. Good boon uptime (protection) + sources of dmg reduction will render the pew pew a little less effective though. Good luck.

For those... you're mad if you think having no dismount feature on this thing upon release is healthy for the game, let alone immune to all CC with triple evade and a health bar that can be bumped from 10k to 12k with any of the 10% max health increasing runes. Not having fun as a predominantly melee class trying to take down this thing... let alone it not being CC-able at all. The first step in the right direction was tweaking it as ineligible for capping/contesting... how far away is that dismount feature they were talking about?

lmao you guys know if they ever "nerf" the power creep it's basically them telling you that they're ready to release the next expansion with the next set of powercreep-fueled elite specs because guess what sells expansions? All the juicy new elite specs... nobody wants to get left behind amirite?

"sir, the players are complaining about powercreep there's too much damage in the game!" "release the warclaw.... let them stare at each other instead. nobody dismounts, nobody gets damaged, nobody dies. perfectly balanced...."
