Legendary iron balls .:) Made it too. Must have as wvw enthusiast

Life is not all about fb

Sigh, yes. The blob killer. When we see a group we fight and beat. Next few moments they bring a dragon banner. Haha. It's the ultimate jerk move

Com snipping is normal. That's why commanders must run tanky. Because they lead the team. Kill the head, the body follows.
You get used to it. And if you die, don't let it get to you.

For all my commanding for the past few months, everyday was getting sniped day. You figure it out.

Condition requires only one stat and that is condition damage.
-
Parties should be able to do squad commands and the party leader have their own ministag.

As a single class versus all?
Sylvari Guardian.
Why? Because plants eat meat.

I really like the 10 man teams. If there's something a small group can do to get stuff it's separate and focus on one target even if they die. Multiple groups of 10 can achieve it.
10 for bay hills. Towers camps Gary. And group up to take the last remaining structure.
But, ppt isnt re warding. Because we all can get the same rewards. So, as you say, we need a reason to ppt.

Not much has changed, fam. If you use your creativity you can simply chooWe battles that are in your favor. Hence avoiding those otherwise .
I now play in invisible status mode so ppl can't pm me. Focus is everything especially when you facing 2 x or more than yours

There is no more efficient and easy means to beat everyone except to Zerg and be tanky. I have not met any opposition to date that is able to beat a one team organized blob. None.
The only way to make zergng not a thing is to change game mechanics.

Not irrational. So no.
Anyway, I will stop here. I can't convince ppl here and I give up.
I may play this game every now and then. But im already bored. :) May this seal my last post in gw2 forum. I'll probably just log in every friday. Gl ppl in wvw

no

Basic staff gs Pvt shout guard. Practice until you can get all minstrels. Then that's it.

It is a feature. This is not a vs b. It's a vs b and c. B vs a and c. C vs a and b.

Warriors has always done this. I suppose not many play riffle
-
Three teams in wvw and only one can win. So, double team is a feature. Rule is, you figure out how to beat the two
-
You have two servers to beat so all three will take advantage. Allying server a and b versus c seems cheaply but is legit.

But there were winners. Separate and distinct from your normal scrub. And servers organized hard.

> I read here and there that WvW is all about fights, but if it was the case, we'd only need a big flat empty map with 3 TP. So part of what the WvW is about is provided by the map, and it's objectives to fight for, and playstyles. Back when DBL was launched, there was the shrines who provided advantages, or barricades, and people went all _"Oh noes, I can't go back to my fight as quick as in ABL plz delete"_, but this provided new ways of being part of it. Like 1-2 ppl running the shrines to trigger the fire turrets and help with the fight in the lava keep.

> There're people who like to zerg, there're people who like to roam, to scout, to escort dollies, to have their beloved tower raise to T3. And I feel like _everyone_ should find a thing to do in WvW, and feel like one belong, and take part of it. And get rewards from it. Reward is not necessarily items or gold, it's also some notion of pride. Right now, material rewards are lame, and most actions aren't rewarding. You take someting ? It'll be taken one hour or less later. You fight and work to your T3 ? It won't prevent it from being flipped soon. You fight intensely a whole evening to protect your T3 keep ? Whatever ! The last one to go to sleep will have it.

> On the design philosophy, TTK is too short, and most fights boil down to : "just toss your rotation, rinse and repeat." No strategy, no choices, no turning tides. It favours lazy gameplay, and jaded players. I remember GW1 with strategies, intricate build choices. _But_ fights were far slower, you had to aim and select, there was a casting bar, interrupts were significant... No such things in GW2 but I still hope it can be better.

wvw is a king of the hill battle where only 1 server is the last man standing. that's it basically.
-
Hindrance from the past
1. you can't revive if contested
2. banner don't revive npc
new battles can happen - but only if there's a cause to that effect.

I'd like a rental service. A different mount though

Tournaments is the way.

> Tournaments ain't gonna save wvw in it's current state, not when populations and balance are out of whack. It might get a temporary population boost from pve chieve hunters, but it ain't going to save it at this point. It would work after alliances though, if the game ever gets to that point.
Alliances may never come. :/
But wvw has no carrot on a stick right now.
It needs unique rewards that not everyone can get. Even if only cosmetic.
Tournaments. It is the way.

Make wvw map completion a requirement for tier 1 and 2 legendaries
Thanks Anet for the Conflux (WvW Legendary Ring)

Mmm. . pls no. Politics in wvw is bad enough
