There's no point in playing during this clown beta. I've been dumped onto what must be the bottom most team, where people literally refuse to fight and just run from everything and everyone is clueless about basic strategy. We're somehow losing to two teams where I can routinely beat 3 opponents solo. If I tag up and command, no one joins my squad, and I'm forced to just take camps and harrass roamers. I had red keep wide open, outer and inner, for 5 hours straight tonight, and the tags made no attempt to take it despite my pleadings that it was wide open. This simply isn't fun. I have no reason to play at all during this beta and if beta becomes the new way wvw is played, i'm done with the game. Why should I kill myself just to finish last two weeks in a row, and going forward? Losing all the time isn't fun and clearly, Anet doesn't grasp this concept. Way to New Coke your game, Anet.

I'm sad Anet has completely ruined WvW.

I've been taken out of Maguma, which we worked extremly hard to be #1, and dumped in some random group of players who are clueless. I just want to give up and never play anymore. All that work for nothing. smh

On my 24th attempt, I witnessed the timer jump from 3 minutes to 0 instantly. Clearly, this task is not inteneded to be completed, thus if you bought this expansion to get a turtle mount, like I did, you've wasted your money.

This cannot be completed. I've tried 23 times, so far, and have always failed. Done it solo and with as many as 30 + other players, but the Maw cannot be defeated. Remember, Anet just wants our money, they don't want us to have fun. So, I guess, yay for corporate greed?

As of 12/2/21, Darkhaven has been made to be absurdly, overwhelmingly powerful. This completely ruins WVW. You are either in Darkhaven and automatically win, or you're in another server and at best, you finish a distant second. We can't even get out of our spawn area anymore. Even if you are a thief and sneak out, you are pounced on as soon as you try to flip anything. After trying for hours this week, I just feel like this is no longer a game - it's just work and since I'm not being paid for it, not going to do it anymore. Puzzled as to why Anet would want to drive off customers prior to a release, but how Anet runs it's enterprise is no longer any of my concern.

So I just spent several hours playing WVW and for Gandara I saw one other player and two bots - this is standard for Sun - Thurs. Opposing us were huge zergs of dozens of players on both sides. This is like playing chess where your opponent starts with all their pieces and you have a couple of pawns. On a whim, I logged in to my old Stormbluff Isle account and there are scores of SI folks running about in WVW. Both servers are 'full,' yet only SI has actual players. Whatever metrics Anet is using to determine WVW player population are broken to the point of uselessness - Gandara is not full - there are no zergs guarding camps, no hoards spamming underpopulated servers - Gandara is the underpopulated server. Soon as I can save up enough gems, I'm moving my main account to Stormbluff Isle. Gandara is a WVW dead server and Anet won't let anyone onto it to bring it back to life. If Anet wants an empty server no one can get onto, that's their problem.

@Seductive.5741 If that's true, why don't the numbers change?

@Seductive.5741 I stand corrected and I stand proven correct. Gandara suposedly is full with 291 players, yet Baruch Bay has a whopping 516 players and is only very high - it never locks. It is also interesting the other servers get to have more players than Gandara - Seafarer's Rest gets to have 502, Underworld gets 427 (and isn't even full), Riverside 330, Miller's Sound 336, Piken Square 341, Gunnar's Hold 373 - no wonder Gandara is always outnumbered. This is solid proof Anet has it's thumbs on the scale against Gandara and isn't even troubling themselves to hide it. Very valuable info this - I cannot thank you enough.

@Zok.4956 You say it wasn't locked prior to 5/18/2020 - source please - I don't remember it being open then. It's been locked for so long it's a running gag among Gandarans that if it ever opened we'd never forget the exact date and time. Gandara is not over-stacked and it is not over-populated. Whenever you go into WVW there are maybe 5 Gandara players vs 50 players on both the other servers. How does 5 people constitute a overpopulated? Please explain Zok, since you have all the answers.

Just checked - still locked. If it was open recently, I've not heard of it.

The Gandara WVW players want to move en masse to a single server, not in ones and twos to random servers - if it's a server that can be locked, some might get locked out before we are all able to transfer, thus sabotaging our effort to stay together. Gandara has been locked for years. Not kidding - years. Which, of course, is a GOOD thing!

So, obviously we are not allowed to say anything negative about the game, or our comments will be removed, so let's discuss how GOOD it is that the WONDERFUL folks at Anet have perma-locked the Gandara server so that no new players can join. This means that, even though we are always outnumbered on WVW, which is a GOOD thing, our server is still locked for so we can't get any new people to join to help on WVW. Again, this is a GOOD thing and we are very HAPPY with the FINE folks at Anet for making sure we are always vastly outnumbered in WVW. Now, a friend of mine had an interesting suggestion for a workaround regarding this GOOD thing Anet is doing for Gandara. He thought it would be a clever idea if everyone on Gandara moved to the Baruch Bay server. Why do that, you ask, especially since Baruch Bay is a Spanish speaking server? Well, here's my friend's clever reasoning: since Baruch Bay is the only Spanish server, Anet can't lock it - if they did, then new Spanish speakers wouldn't have a server at all and Anet would be guilty of discrimination against the 2nd most spoken language on Earth. Thus, everyone on Gandara, plus all their friends could finally be on a single server. We'd no longer be permanently outnumbered in WVW and Baruch Bay would become the new WVW super-power server. We'd never be outnumbered again and we'd never have the issue of friends being unable to join our server. I like my friend's idea. I like it a lot.

Nevermind. It just showed up. No one knows why. shrug

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Scribing:_Sabotage_Depot says "Acquiring this guild upgrade unlocks the recipe to craft Schematic: Sabotage Depot. Available only to scribes." We have the guild upgrade and I am a scribe with the necessary experience level as a scribe so the recipe should show up, but it's not there. All boxes except the 1st 3 are checked on the scribe station. We've left the instance, logged out, come back in and still that recipe doesn't doesn't show. ???

Probably a dumb question, but I cannot find the answer to this anywhere. My guild just added to our War Room the Schematic: Sabotage Depot upgrade, but it doesn't appear as an option at the scribe. We also added Schematic: Supply Drop, but that one does show up as a scribe option. What am I missing here? Do I have to do something special to get that one to show up? Thanks in advance!

3,395 hours and I've never seen an ascended chest. I didn't even know such a thing existed until my Comm on wvw mentioned that he gets them all the time in wvw. He gets them all the time while I get them never. That seems fair. :/

Hello. First off, if possible, you'll want to change to another server. Anet's hatred of Gandara is well known and well documented. They always put us against impossibly strong opponents and all we can do is just not play. What's the point in letting other servers farm us? Only time you'll have a chance for something that resembles fair play will be super late night on Friday & Saturday nights when Commander Cormac tags up. Anet has done everything possible to overwhelm Cormac, but so far they have failed. Why Anet hates Gandara so much is anyone's guess, but you'll be better off to pay the 2,000 gem bribe to move to another server.

Love it! If they make Mordrem skins for all the mounts, TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE!!!

I don't use the mount anymore, since you get the warclaw's blessing from some kindly idiot who keeps using it, I'm able to launch an attack or whatever instantly without having to dismount Mount is useless now in WVW. Wish I hadn't wasted so much time & energy getting something that used to be extremely useful, but Anet, who are perfect human beings and never make mistakes, decided to spam into oblivion. But Anet destroys the game with each update, so no surprises there. Frankly, don't understand how the WVW mount even slipped past their fun censors - "Can't have mounts in WVW - that smacks of FUN - delete immediately!"

Per Anet, all lags are acceptable. Any who disagree will be perma-banned. This post will be banned. Everything is banned.

All posts are deleted because Anet.

Your post is irrelevant - Anet has banned any and all fun from GW2.

I'm surprised your post hasn't been removed with you being banned for a year. Remember kiddies, GW2 is perfect and any / all criticism is banned. Our Dear Leaders and Trump supporters at Anet only produce a perfect product - if you somehow do not exceed at all aspects of the game, it is because you do not support our Dear Leader Trump sincerely enough.

Almost as boneheaded an idea as a 'balance' update that ruins the game. Oh, wait...
