Chichimec.9364 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Well, now we know what at least one WvW Dev is excited about in the new expansion. @Rubi Bayer.8493 posted a note about what the Anet Devs were most excited about in the SotO expansion. It was fun to read their responses until I got to this one... Quote Roy "Roy" Marks, Rewards/WvW Team: Gathering nodes. I assume he meant that as a joke but if so, it sure fell flat for me. Instead of a bad joke, can the WvW team please give us some info on our missing Alliance Beta? 14 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though since their removal there has been a call for the old gathering nods in the WvW maps be added back since, one its mat, but two they were also areas that added in small hotspots around the map as people stopped to harvest when they shouldn't and then small squabbes turned into bigger open field fights. A couple of ideas that have also seen light on the forums was not just nodes but some node farms that might trigger even bigger fights in the open areas of the maps. But I think it will not be this at all hence don't want to get hopes up there that it might be a long term requests seeing light. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well let's be real, what else is there to be excited about in wvw, he's already taken cared of butchering balance and rewards, and alliances have gone back onto the milk cartons. 🤷♂️ 2 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though reminding me I am out of bacon, well, we will have to talk about that after I finish cursing my own self for that oversight since that makes me the dumbkitten to allow that travesty to occur. /smh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh...Since he is with the "Rewards/WvW Team" I was wondering if there was a faint possibility that something new and exciting with WvW nodes was coming out that we hadn't heard about yet. Nope. It turns out he meant this... Quote It's a meme that happened with Roy in MyghtyTeapot twitch chat xD by TheThief.8475 in the original thread Rubi Bayer posted about this. So we don't even get a bad joke. All WvW gets is a meme that many of us don't even know anything about. 🙄 Edited August 18, 2023 by Chichimec.9364 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently I should be fine with memes, but Anet can react thin-skinned about a critical question. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaba.5410 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 You know Roy is a true WvW player when he invokes a community meme instead of saying weird stuff like WvW players are really PvE players. Victory nodes are the real endgame. For WvW players that seem to be out of the loop, Roy was first an Anet Partner that made a lot of WvW streaming content before he got a job there. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know, this is a good thing, which alone gives credit to the developer . Probably like many of us we would like to give so much more to this modality, but perhaps there are not the conditions to be able to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's likely the only Anet dev you'll see with the Ultimate Dominator title. Now for my pessimism. Even if "one of us" gets hired by Anet, WvW improvement still happens slow. At the end of the day, Anet is still a for-profit organization that has to prioritize resources in a way to remain profitable. It's always up to the management. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alsandar.7420 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Is Roy the guy who got pwned by an un-named guild going invis. Over and over.

He usually plays warrior (or at least that's the class I see him on the most) and isn't on the balance team so I would assume the answer is no.

I sometimes run with a commander who after we take an objective ignores the nodes and starts running to the next objective, even when its a dead map. It pains me, and we all ignore him and run to the nodes anyway 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I would keep the ones in the objectives as well, these others would be free game for fighting over. Was some good fight over just a few scattered ones in the past. Some farms of them....well... 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
