Roaming this week will be random?

Yeah. I already commented that I thought this was an idiotic event, but I gave this crap a chance. This event is a shit-show for servers who are outmatched population wise. What could at times be mildly fun in the beginning due to the greater roaming action in the ruins, is now being vastly overshadowed by groups of 15 - 20 constantly capping and re-capping. The green server for my current match fields far more numbers than red -or- blue, and is camping every ruins circle on every borderland map. So, not only is my team (and the other enemy team, honestly) at a population disadvantage, at the moment we're at a constant and significant stat disadvantage to boot.

 

Yeah, thanks for this tripe ANet. Way to put something in that really rubs the population-have-nots noses in it. -_- Time to find something else to do for a week.

Pretty much.

 

I like the event idea but his one is a bust. It only favors ANET's beloved overstacked servers.

 

"IF" ANET ever gets a handle on population balance, then something like this might be cool. But until then (2020?) a huge buff to outmanned would make more sense, and be more fun.

You need to maintain 3 points to cap bloodlust. Impossible on DBL due to map size. You can maintain possibly 2 in ABL with some Nike warrior build, but 3 is a near impossible task.

event bro, not powercreep but once in a while week of WvW with some gimped weird odd bonuses to add spice to yer usuall WvW - all things should go back to "normal" after reset today

How was no down?

Would probably be pretty good for me - since i always fail to stopm/kill the downs in a 1vX

I do just 4.5K max with full zerker red gears on my full counter. you must be fake news or some sh1tty garbage software user.

I have seen full counter do up to 12k damage... before the event.

Not sure how some people equate this to no DS week, as no DS rewarded skilled play and gave an advantage to those with higher skill and an actual chance vs larger groups. This feeds the reverse, the team that has more people to hold more ruins gets bigger bonus, it is also a stat boost, giving an advantage to ONE side, no DS everyone had the same ability. Now, if everyone got a 30% stat gain for the week, you might be able to say it is like no DS, but even then, not really, as its just a stat creep at that point.

 

30% is huge, considering how close a fight can be vs someone of the same skill level, 30% is a absolute win vs someone of equal skill level. 30% vs someone not as good can push things in their favor, and fighting a class/build thats a hard counter to you, 30% will make that fight all of impossible.

 

Orbs of power were removed due to balance issues, as the larger server with the most coverage tended to be the ones able to hold them, making that server even stronger. This is much the same. I would have rather them just bring back orbs of power for the week, it's something that would be new to lots of people, and is something to do, vs standing in the same old ruins.

Ah, thank the wiki! It was both.

 

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2012-11-01#WvW

 

" Closed a number of exploits that inappropriately allowed access to keeps.

Orbs of power have been removed from WvW to address hacking and balance issues. They tended to strengthen teams already in the lead and were irresistible targets for hackers and cheaters, both of which could have an unfortunately large impact on any given WvW game. Orbs or some similar mechanic may return in the future, but only if we're confident that they won't create similar issues."

Which is also why they will never come back, we already got the "similar mechanic" ie the bloodlust caps. Plus Anet quietly wiped the last traces of the orb system from ABL long ago and the second attempt at something more focused like the orbs ended in just as big a disaster that had to be replaced by the DBL bloodlust cap because otherwise it made DBL lag like crazy.

well personally for me it made barely any difference, but that's because due to class and role I play in WvW usually means that if I go down, I rarely have a chance to rally anyway.... (bonus exp was nice tho)

 

but in my wvw guild we had few condi scourges kinda complaining that they can no longer drop into group, pop nuke, go downed and rally on condies killing those guys....

 

(forums were exploded over one-shot roamer builds tho)

 

wait a moment did forum filter decided to turn gimmick into kitten? lol in which world is that even pejorative word lol

downstate is a pain if i'm vs 3+.

i cant stomp or cleave - the others 2 can res too fast. I could down any of them 99 times , without getting a real kill.

Which means it's effectievly meaningless how good i am - as soon as i am vs more then 3 it's impossible to get a kill.

Its already meaningless if you go 1v3 and win. None of them could have been very good.

 

The challenge in WvW isnt your skill, its getting reinforcements in time.
