But yet, they STILL can’t find the missing cornerstone for EK on desert BL.. 🤦‍♂️

Short answer: the class was created to coddle PVE players to have a low effort, high DPS build, with little to no thought put into it for WvW because they view WvW as a numbers game and give no thought to the effect on small groups. Long answer? Not gonna go there.. 🙂 it has been nerfed slightly, but not likely to change much. It’s a new expac spec…. They want people to buy the expansion.

439.

I believe this is the case for most stowed weapons as well. Though, I figure the most egregious example would be https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Verdarach I just can’t reconcile how this would look at ‘use size’ when stowed. 😬

Hello fellow decade-er! Several of the things you wrote I would agree with and other disagree with. But my reply is just to say it’s great to see another player enjoying the game for as long. Hope to see you out there! Strides

Private messaging is a thing.

Regardless of the hiding minis or not, if one mini gets your 50+ squad wiped, you were going to get wiped anyway.

Still a choice. Your server chooses to continue playing. I am not arguing that it seems like a counterintuitive system: Not playing in order to lose which allows you to ‘win’. 🤷 Obviously someone on the server that moves up cares to push it to T-1. It’s quite easy…. Bag farm and don’t cap. Participation continues, but you don’t gain points. Servers do it now.

You can not guest in WvW.

I mean, that’s 3/4’s of all the NA servers.

Ahh. So I see someone is confused about what a reflect is! Lemme link the wiki!! https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Reflect#:~:text=Reflect is a combat mechanic,as on-hit sigil effects. Oh. Don’t worry about saying thank you. Posting it is it’s own thanks!

Ok. Bring another 4-5000 people that speak your language into the game mode and you’ll have servers that are active and not ‘ded’. Otherwise, you are going to see it MORE frequently. 🤷

But ‘getting the armor faster’ isn’t ‘better rewards’. That’s my whole point. I am all for better rewards which, my posts in this thread detail. So, maybe don’t focus on the part you did? The armor acquisition process has been sped up no fewer than 3 distinct times. It’s fine. There needs to be rewards that are consistent and consumable/rewardable from a gold perspective. Or, give something else to spend the tickets on.

WTB reflects. Ill take ‘What is reflects’ for $800 Alex.

More rewarding experience for this of us that are long term players usually does not equate into more tickets faster as many of us have nothing to spend them on. Some players would like more liquid gold, or a use for emblems or something to buy with excess tickets Also, more of a ‘reward’ for many of us would be a change in the population balance, which, for many would come with alliances. But we’ll see how soon that gets here.

OP: I think a valid question to you would be ‘Do you care about WvW?’ I get you care about the armor. Which was initially a long term reward for WvW players. It’s been sped up more than 3 times since it’s inception, either with the amount of tickets earned or the speed with which you can acquire Pips per tick, along with a drop in the requirements for the ‘top tier’ WvW armor. Having three weights of the armor, I don’t need tickets anymore because there is nothing to spend them on. So, what else would you have for the tickets? What new item should people be able to buy? Stay a while, enjoy the mode. The tickets come. If it’s a chore, I would ask you why would you want to play a mode that isn’t fun, for an item that isn’t needed.. Good luck out there!

No. Defending ISNT stat heavy. And yes, you can do it. You need numbers, coordination and, like @Xenesis.6389said, the second server. The stats are negligible when talking about a comped group. The main problem is people don’t want to coordinate, synergies their builds (yeah boon blob blah blah blah) and work together. Get into inner, clear siege, come back, go back in and clear siege. If people can’t be bothered to do that, then they need to attack other undefended targets. What Mag has, is persistence. Most others can’t be bothered.

To what end though? The people being recorder have to be willing to take advice, Honestly, if they are running out in groups of less than 20 then not sure if they are going to listen. Other borders would help them more.

It’s ok being confused. It’ll improve with age. Oh wait..

Hush with that tactics and stuffz. Can’t talk about strategy in here. 🤷😏

Huh.. The only server in the first three tiers that is ‘stacked with their link is SBI. They are full and their link is Very high. The other servers, including the two you referenced have links that are ‘high’. Man.. that just seems weird don’t it?

Had runners in GW1 as well.

Like @Xenesis.6389said, you are confusing an alliance with a world. An alliance will be approximately 1/5 of a world. So, you ARENT going to get same speaking players on your world every time. It just isn’t feasible if we are truly looking to make an actual attempt to balance population.

True, but then targeting/hitting them should be harder as well. 😬
