I totally understand ur point. I just think WvW was always kind of a sandbox-mode in GW2. I just dont rly think its Anets responsability to create content such as commanders guilds and stuff or bring access to it. It was always the community creating content in WvW. Secondly i think isnt it a bigger motivation for ppl to start tagin up and command when ppl actually CARED about capin objects, get a good skirmish and points? Before relinking the players helped eachother out more to explain stuff and encourage newly players to tag up cuz its was UR HOMELANDSERVER and u wanted it to grow stronger and being better. So thats a point where u actually create and enlarge the content for everyone. I just sharing my thoughts i dont say im right. But the situation at the moment is bad and i rly would love to see some changes about that cuz it bothers me. PS: i rly would love to help lowpoputalated/dead servers to create the content they missing. All whats needed is an impulse and it will manage itself.

Why is it not possible to link lowpopulated servers together and just stop relinking at all?imo we dont need an alliances-update or something like that just kind of stable and solid leaderboard to make WvW fun again.I dont care if my server is in T1 or T5 (50v50/20v20) aslong the fights/weekly performance are good and even. Relinking over and over again just destroys the motivation to fight over objects completely which leads to blobs and guilds just lookin for fights. Which means instead of using the big map defin and attackin objects all 3 server grps are on the same map punching eachother on one spot of the map the whole evening AND IM JUST SO TIRED OF IT.I know Anet doesn't care too much about WvW but for the love of god is it that much effort the create a stable leaderboard without mixed servers again?

i used the word balance, but its the wrong word. THE SERVERS DONT NEED TO BE BALANCED, like it was in the beginning and im pretty sure i can tell u why.Does it make it more exciting to fight 40v40 for a keep instead of 10v10 NO its just different. U had maybe even more lags anyway in a 40v40 fight.Before the linking i was on vabbi (low server) I still had fun on the server cuz the enemies were still kind of equal. After some time the server was kind of full dead awell as our opponents and wvw sadly died completly.After sometime they linked us with GH (GREAT DECISION) and WvW came back to life and i rly appreciated that decsion. (cuz linking dead servers with low populated servers makes sense)BUT WHY THE HELL u need to relink it over and over again?.... (TERRIBLE DECISION)If u want 50vs50vs50 fights lags and big qs go to the upper tiers.if u want nice smallscale fights and roam a lot go middle tier.If u rarly play wvw and dont want to play it to serious and competitive go lower tier.Its UR DECISION HOW U WANT TO PLAY WVW. I can tell u tryin to force ALL servers to be equal to have the same fightpower and population is literlly IMPOSSIBLE. If alliances will come out( just my opinion) but anet will destroy this mode completly JUST LINK the dead servers with the low populated servers (same language) and let it be. If another server dies link it with another low populated server.I dunno why there is a big drama and i dont know why ppl make rocketscience out of it. if u dont like ur situation on ur server in wvw TRANSFER...jesus

I try to explain my opinion as a core s/d thief mainly roamin and im pretty bad LOL-s/d has limited access to stealth (i play with healstealthtrait to have some time to react)-dmg output is fine with marauder-u need to dodge the right skills, u have no stab-if u get stunned and have no stunbreak u die, if u miss ur steal u are pretty dead aswellin general balancin is kind of hard in this game cuz anet wants that almost every class can play different roles (healer,dmg dealer, tanks). In Lol for example every champ has kind of his role and there are not many ways to play it as efficiant as possible (Items)But in the end every playstyle should have strength and weakness at the same time i tell about some problems in my opinion and maybe u can give me tips for counterplay or tell me what the weakness and the strenght are. My problems when roaming are: Condi spam + Permastealth+ mobility (thief/mesmer) are not healthy, cuz u doin dmg while u are not ''attackable''. (no serious counterplay)Burst dmg out of stealth into permastealth + range + mobility (deadeye) (no counterplay cuz u are dead before u react) maybe they could throw in a melee skill for rifle which u need to use to set up the mark so u know there is something aroundRevs (i lose every fight cuz i dont have a clue about them xD) to much block, doing a shitload of dmg while not attackable, healing thru getting dmg which is not interruptable, while doing a ton of dmgBurstdmg + stealth + INVUL (Mirage) not getting dmg while u can do a ton of dmg at the same time is very dangerous1.500 range, a ton of of dmg access to invul, while having most of the boons forever, invis (souldbeast) i dont think i have to explain...overloaded tell me the weakness about itton of dmg, while being invul, great stab, while healin permanent (sb/war) I can live with that cuz its a warrior its should be easy to play and strong at the same timeDH ton of dmg, block, unblockable attacks, to of healing, invul (but the can attack u while there are invul so its ok)these are just some thoughts but in general SKILLS AND TRAITS ARE OVERLOADED and EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS AT THE SAME TIME being able to do a ton of dmg while u are invuable is very dangerous and its hard to balance it(its ok for warrrior tho i guess) the fact that u can suit for the best traits the most efficiant states (cuz there are way more different variants then there were in the beginning) leads to unhealthy strong builds(most are the defensive traits while ur states are more dmg)

Delete Mountstomp Delete Desert Border Delete 3-4 lowest populated WvW servers and add them to other servers (same language). STOP RELINKING. (anet literlly cant control the population and if the try its a mess anyway. SO JUST STOP RELINKING and the community will balance it by itself) Admitting that alliances was a joke Get a communication goin with mainly wvw-players (min. 1.000 world rank) to share ideas and discuss.

no im serious i swear

YoI just wanna thank anet for a great year in WvW and the recent changes in general. Im rly happy about the decisions and I try to explain why the state of wvw hasn’t been better before. -MountstompI remember the days when u had to focus downies and getting ur stomp thru with blink, invul, invis, mistform etc. and jesus that was exhaustin. When we were roamin we had to communicate our stomps to turn fights around or tryin to cleave it before more enemies appeared. But with the new mountstomp i don’t rly need a team anymore. I can just chill eating chips and drink beer while im runnin around with my mount onehandedly lookin for ongoing fights to turn them around with 1 button. Any roamers are fightin and the enemies tryin to play as a team and rezz his friend? There is no better feeling to just walk by and say ‘’NOPE’’. I think about to create a compilation of mountstomps cuz im pretty sure noone can press 1 button as good as I do (its not that easy u need to have a good positioning (very far away cuz u can jumpevade 3 times +stomprange), timing and u actually need to hit the target). There is a zergfight (50 players) goin on? Be passion and wait for ur moment and u can turn the fight. If u can hit 3 downies (cuz 3 targets why not?!?) u are already mvp of the fight. -Server relinkingI remember the days when I spent more time in wvw than I should have. Cuz I was rly motivated fighting for my server and climbing up the leaderboard with it and havin the derbies against our main opponents in the tier. But thanks to the serverlink especially relinking I don’t have to care about it anymore cuz tiers, derbies changes anyway. The quite serious mode changed into kind of a minigame in the gw2 world and since then I have a lot more freetime doin more productive stuff like learning guitar, doin homework etc. Anet even started to mix servers with different languages (I dont know the reason for it) but I learned some german and french.We have a good link right now and I made some new friends and we figured out to work as a team, but who cares it changes anyway. -Alliances (WvW update)U told us u are workin on the update and I was rly afraid the update is comin this year. Cuz I think the state of wvw is at its best right now and im pretty sceptical about whats comin. But fortunately u lied and it was a a big joke :D (I love ur sense of humor) -Desert BLAlpine BL were boring cuz it was all about fighting, defing keeps and towers. Its built up pretty simple and structured and that’s not what I expecting in wvw (competitive mode). With Desert BL there is a map where u can explore ( I mean u could do that in PvE but whatever). For example u can check the contested fire keep for catas for half an hour (cuz there are literally 1000 spots) while u enjoyin the environment and kill some mobs on the way. Secondly I love the lords (especially the garri lord) it brings a great random factor to a competitive mode which is great. I remember great fights in the garri lord room preparing for the enemy buffing up and try to engage while a wall is randomly comin up and split up our group (i blame our commander for it cuz a good commander should be able to predict that). This makes it rly more exciting. Im happy that there is a map where lords are more challenging than the enemies. I rly don’t understand the ‘’I hate DBL’’-comments. These guys take wvw way to serious and actually care about the mode instead of just appreciate the work and the design of anet. I don’t understand that.No matter what Thank u ANET <3Dont listen to the complainments of the many players playin gw2 only cuz of wvwU doin great. Keep working like thatI wish u all the best for the new year Peace out

anet overthinks this update so hard...just go back to the roots -delete desertborder (to much PvE, Runnin-simulator) -STOP RELINKING SERVERS (put the low-pop Servers together and let it be or create new Servers at all and everyone can choose a new one for free...like the battles under the Servers made wvw that great...cuz u wanted to teach the people and organize ur server so ur Servers is gettin better...but now everyone gives a fk...wvw-guilds are only lookin for fights...public/open raids gettin pretty rare cuz why you should be passioned to train people FOR WHAT?!?!? to get relinked again?!??!?! people dont define themselfs with the Servers anymore, they define themselfs with the guild... so they only care about the guild...''oh we lost t3 hills, who cares, we won a fight 10v25'' and i think new players who come to wvw have it rly hard nowadays...WvW is pointelss at the moment -dont try to get more PvE players in to WvW with PvE content, WvW is something u like or u dont...THATS OK...THERE IS NOTHING TO CHANGE TO MAKE IT MORE ATTRACTIVE...and dont listen to people who say ,,I play wvw twice a week but i would play it more if there would be a BIG FAT DRAGON WHO GIVES ME A BUNCH OF LOOT'' This mode were perfect in the beginning and anet made some small good decisions but the big decisions were terrible as more anet changes things and trys to control population and stuff its gettin worse...cuz the community has to do it by itself AND they did in the early days...it wasnt perfect for everyone but it worked generally cuz the balance came over time AND ALLIANCES WILL MAKE NOTHING BETTER! it will be about blobing, killing eachother and not about capin objects like now imagine WvW would be a PvP-match where some ppl are in the middle of the map tryin to kill eachother off-point while some are capturing Points for the daily reward and gettin loot THATS WvW TODAY u ruined WvW, FIX IT, peace out

i think anet is overthinking this update...just go back to the roots...delete desertborder, stop linkin servers FOREVER (the population will be balanced by the community anyway, no matter how u want to control it, and btw that was the point i lost my motivation and wvw became senseless), give everyone a free ticket to choose a homeland again (there will always be high populated and low populated server...SO WHAT i liked to play in the low populated servers, u had ur archenemies u wanted to beat and that was fun af to play against), STOP ADDIN PVE CONTENT IN WVW. AND DONT TRY TO CHANGE IT AGAIN WVW just became an awsome thing in the early days because of the community itself, and it seems as more anet is tryin to control and changing things it's getting worse that would make me happy,but u forgot about the wvw update anyway so who cares peace out (ps. my english sucks)
