  1. Only took what almost 7 years for them to fix renegade lol.  Although a bit too late and the game is just one giant animae now which some people might want but I'm guessing most people are just playing this new content just for something to do.

  2. I actually enjoyed the original guild wars festivals better than the ones in the current game.  The thing with those original ones they had a balance of reward and fun.  So, it was always some excitement when they came around even though they were the same thing every year.  Would be interesting to see a Halloween and Christmas themed Eotm lol.  Broom and sleigh mounts and such.

    To be fair, I think that is part of the issue. 

    Don't take it from a Roamer or a Havoc perspective but, take it from a Zerg or a Warband view. They jump into an enemy that has breached a structure kill them and then, no defense. I would also ask why. Some might get some events, but most won't. That's where these questions come from.

    Agree Roamers and Havocs see it, so now spin it, why do larger group play not? Going to leave that open for conversation so not apply assumptions.

     

     

    Yeah, the thing that I sometimes forget is that before expansions EOTM was actually used and had a purpose.  The newer players never have had a proper starting place and a lot of times they think they are ready for WvW but they don't know the basics of it.  So, they probably should revamp EOTM to be a starting point as well as a recruitment hub so that players can actually look at these and not worry about it.  The thing with Anet and WvW though is that players have always had to work around them to fix their problems and that also is something that people don't do anymore.

    The one thing that could be done as a temporary solution to this problem is creating a way where havoc guild leaders are centralized in a specific guild that people can join and pair off.  Then Anet does some kind of partner program where they can give free transfers to those wanting to get involved to make it easier to setup some kind of foundation so that these defend things are easily completed.

  4. It's time we bring back the oil and sharpening stone guilds for wvw.  I'm sure Anet will release some wvw exclusive ascended oil and sharpening stones to put in guild banks.  They will include unique bonuses for tag watching and squirreling after roamers, and higher damage bonuses based on how many gemstore and black lion weapon skins your target has applied (instant assassination if your target has all legendaries).

    Again, I'm challenging the claim there is no one to group with (which you made IIRC). I'm certain there is. The idea that LFG tool shouldn't be improved because there is no one LFG is nonsense. 

    I guess its nonsense to improve a function that does not even get used.  The point is most people have their raid and fractal guilds and never use it for pve purposes.  The other half on competitive side its just used for tag watching in wvw.  There are many many many better uses of developer time and the fact they are calling this an expansion coming out further proves something like this is a waste of resources.

    There's noone looking for group. I just so happened to fill 2 groups on NA(W1 run and a W4 run after), both in ~5 minutes, then fill a W4 run in 2 minutes on EU hours after that. Then I decided to do AH-HT on my main and managed to fill the group in 2-3 minutes again. I've had longer wait times in WoW's LFR than the time it takes me to fill groups in GW2.

    Yeah, we are talking about GW2 gameplay not some game made for 12-year-olds or Super Mario World.

    Do people even know what "maintenance mode" actually means?

    It means no new content. We have an expansion dropping in one week for crying out loud. With two quarterly updates already on the way.

    That ain't maintenance mode, My Doomsayer Fellow.

    It's not an expansion it's just a living world episode that everyone has to pay for if they want it.

    Maybe one reason for that is because the tool they have to find people to group with isn't very useful to find people to group with. 🤔Like, somehow you suggest there simply aren't people that want to group up? Based on what?

    Based on that there is absolutely no one looking to group.  It's the same analogy if the tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?  You can't group with players that do not exist.

  8. Here's the problem this function requires players to login and actually play the game.  There are just no players because it's a dead game it's just that simple.  Of course, I am probably so wrong because MILLIONS of players are playing, I just can't see them.

  9. This is why no one takes them seriously about Alliances ever coming or even being anything decent content wise.  Their expansions basically broke eotm as a whole which they've done little to develop wvw past that point.  So playing a thief in eotm is just a place to practice breaking everything that is in the actual wvw maps.  So with enough practice anyone playing on a thief can do these things.  So if they can't fix any of that then they can't ever make alliances work if they are going to build them in an already self imploding game mode.

    WvW is more about the active sandbox. Players create the games minute by minute. WvW is kind of like that bar you hit to banter and game with friends and see what's new since the players are adjusting the content pending their actions. Socializing with people is a way to the content. You see a friendly being jumped you assist. Next time it might be you in need. You start an attack on an objective they see you and pitch in. All the while nothing may have been said. Next time you might banter and joke.  Next you know they are stealing your emote popcorn. Enjoy your server mates, meet your server links and enjoy single serving encounters. Hell dance with that random Charr enemy when two roamers cross in the middle of no where.  WvW is more about you don't know what's going to happen in the next 5 minutes and that's what's fun about it. Forget the reward, broken spoons reign supreme, and enjoy the encounters and banter.  Its about the unknown of where the night is going to lead. Till you find the fun in that, your right WvW might not be the place that you were looking for.

    That sounds more like some kind of RP thing than WvW.  When I go into WvW I don't care about socializing with anyone for me it's all about killing the enemy.  I'd prefer someone seriously playing and whining about their KDR than people who go into the game mode and having no intention of playing it the way it was intended to be played.

  11. Yeah, don't have the free time I used to and mostly from what I can see when I have some motivation to play again aren't the kind of players that are seriously trying to play the game.  Plus, I don't really know anyone who still plays this game much less the game mode so the motivation to play this game mode is mostly short lived and I just find something better to do.  I'm sure there are decent people to play with but I'm not really here looking to socialize just mainly to play the game.
