I think this is exactly what people complain about. A rev was trying to initiate a fight and you self- admittedly dodged around on your mount abusing a cheese mechanic until he was out of energy. Then you quickly dismounted for the easy kill. In the past you would had actually had to fight him on even ground. The mount makes that almost impossible now. You say you were showing "him that he was too aggressive" but what should he have done, danced around in a mount circle jerk? That nonsense can last forever and just like your post pointed out, the aggressor tends to be at a disadvantage now. The mount fundamentally changes the way engagements happen and not for the better. Anet better fix it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO!! get out of that Jeep.. I don't care if we're outnumbered 50 to 1.. you get behind that car and start shooting Jimmy.. you die like a man!! Jokes aside. WvW isn't just a PvP environment it's a Warzone environment.. retreating and combat avoidance are absolutely valid strategies in any War fictional or othewise. Just because it's a game doesn't mean people should have to throw themselves into hopeless combat situations they know they can't win. Avoiding combat.. and fleeing from combat is not a new thing for WvW... people have been doing that since the game released years ago. Hell that's been the foundation of thief and mesmer playstyles for years thanks to thier excessive mobility and stealth mechanics. The Warclaw has only put all classes and builds on a more even level for general mobility, and this has made WvW a lot less tedious for some. I've certainly had more fun in WvW the last few weeks than I have in the last few years because of the Warclaw. I'd say the pros of the Warclaw far outweigh the cons.. but that's just my opinon. No more slow.. tedious running around to catch up with a zerg and likely dying 5 times before I reach them.. No more falling behind a zerg and being picked off by stalker.. No more boredom running around with little to no actual battles taking place.. Warclaw for me at least has fixed a lot of problems that really made me hate WvW.

Why are you posting in a homeless roamers post when you are clearly a Zergling in general. 2 out of your 3 pros for you is zerg based. The last one is inconclusive but sounds like just makes you faster ard to get blob vs blob and not roaming. You have posted in so many other post in wvw lately we get your opinion you just aren't one of this topic. Warclaw for me at least has just added a lot more problems that really made me hate WvW.

And I agree with you about the changes and need to adapt, but so far, it's been a positive experience imo. I roam mostly and before the warclaw, mainly for the pips in outmanned maps. Before on outmanned maps that usually meant just me and the enemy blobs. My build had to have a lot of mobility to escape the blobs and get to the other end of the map. Now with the Warclaw i've been able to get rid of some of the mobility and have even started dusting off my Necro and Warrior to play again. I'm enjoying running into the small group action that seems to happen spontaneously now. Even zergs are kind of fun again. There are less single fights atm. And that is a shame, but some of that is due to more players. Once the shine wears off, we'll be back to the old numbers and I think it will be easier to find single fights again.

displayname.8315 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 To me these arguments sound like your accusing people on the opposing team of not roaming. If your not finding fights it's time to transfer. That goes for all fights. It's hard to find good zerg battles a lot of times too guys. Not having alliances and somewhat decent MU's is a problem.

Not having alliances and somewhat decent MU's is a problem. I just transfered yesterday but its not that different.(already transfered coutless times since the alliance announcement for this exact reason, which a whole other problem that causes people to burnout). Im not accusing people for not roaming Most of them left or just adapted to a group ganking mounted players cuz thats what Warclaw has to offer As it is it only killed roaming builds and classes (mostly melees). It takes freedom away from people to do whatever they want in whatever classes/build thry like to play in a open world PvP map and its bad for WvW as a whole.

Easy enough. I prefer to find outnumbered fights though. Who gives a fuck about all of you saying you've been ganked. Grow the fuck up. Now I 'gank everyone' because you guys just bitch about it all day instead of growing a pair and playing the game mode. Before I let people walk if they were new or it was obvious they didnt want to fight. Not anymore. Sometimes I even block them hoping it was one of you cry babies coming here to post about how you got ganked again. Never considering you could get good. Always blame it on something besides yourself. Keep doing that. You'll go really far in life with that mentality. So for everyone who dodges a fight someone gets 'ganked'. Even though they could defend themselves. And they do try so they didn't really get 'ganked'. You guys would call it that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you blaming the mount for a bad combat decision? I don't disagree that adjustments are needed, but I was just commenting on that specific instance. This is where we can agree that the mount is the issue here. As the rev has to burn his cds to try to dismount the enemy player, and his 'reward' for dismounting is an enemy player who still has their full skills, while he himself has less cds. And on the other hand if he doesn't dismount the player, suppose he is roaming for fights, then what is he supposed to do? Stand at a sentry until someone decides to dismount and attack him? Or run around and hope to find someone unmounted, and pray they don't mount up and run away? Its like others said, the aggressor loses here (unless u are a longbow ranger).

Because pretty much all WvW topics atm are related to the Warclaw and many are typically against it, calling for crazy nerfs or the removal of the mount entirely. Zerging is pretty much the default playstyle of WvW.. always has been, Roamers are the anomaly that's been impacted negatively by the introduction of the mount. The way I see it.. much of the complaints about the Warclaw are coming from people who enjoy elments of WvW that were keeping a larger number of players away from the gamemode due to annoyance or the feeling of unfairness. Most players will straight up quit if they feel they cant get anywhere due to being constantly hunted by roamers, I've known tons of players who hate WvW for that very reason. WvW is supposed to be a massive multiplayer PvP Warzone full of giant epic battles.. going around solo trying to capture a traditional single player pvp experience instead of participating in the general server wide war seems counter productive to what the game mode was designed for. The Warclaw hasn't even killed Roaming.. it's just made it more difficult since it's harder for roamers to force people into no win skirmishes they don't want to get involved in, and forced people to change up their builds/playstyles to deal with the mount instead which isn't a bad thing imo. The way I see it is a lot of people have for years complained about WvW and it's neglect.. yet they don't want any changes to the game mode that changes it in ways they don't like even when it brings in more players thus making it more popular which is what it needs to be for Anet to stop neglecting it. You can still roam.. you just need to come up with ways to deal with the mount. I only give my opinion on so many threads because I've been playing Gw2 since it's first Beta weekend.. and for the first time since the games launch.. WvW is actually fun for me now.. thanks largely to the mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawHat.2639 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 WvW is supposed to be a massive multiplayer PvP Warzone full of giant epic battles... This is so jagged and skewed to your view like all your post about zerging only. WvW is actually fun for me now.. thanks largely to the mount... WvW is actually a lot less fun for me now...thanks largely to the mount. WvW is actually fun for me now...wonder why you bothered before to do it if not fun...gees. Been WvWing since year 1, and always enjoyed it even when we lost money in the first years and had to pve. In then end I just feel your opinion is worth nothing in a tread on roaming when your a Zergling. Also am curious about this: ~~Zerging is pretty much the default playstyle of WvW~~.. always has been, Roamers are the anomaly that's been impacted negatively by the introduction of the mount. What the...how many roaming/havok guilds are there compared to blob ppt guilds/fight guilds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These mechanics simply made the classes far too annoying and cheap.. which is why they have been consistantly the two most hated classes in the pvp game. It's so easy to thieves and mesmers to claim the mount unfair.. and that it deny's them fights and kills when they've been ambushing players for years and denying them a well earned kill every time they use their stealth and teleports to run away when the battle doesn't go their way. I'd say they'd have a point though if they didn't have access to the Warclaw.. but they do.. all classes do. Their stealth and blinks still give them advantages in battles.. still make them the best classes for escaping fights they are loosing.. nothing has changed there. The only thing that's changed is that it's a little harder to drag people into fights they don't want to participate in and that is a good thing in my opinion. > > The Warclaw has only put all classes and builds on a more even level for general mobility, and this has made WvW a lot less tedious for some. > > I've certainly had more fun in WvW the last few weeks than I have in the last few years because of the Warclaw. > > > > I'd say the pros of the Warclaw far outweigh the cons.. but that's just my opinon. > > No more slow.. tedious running around to catch up with a zerg and likely dying 5 times before I reach them.. > I also zerg as a glass staff Weaver and i rarely died before reaching a zerg, most of the times i died, was to a malicious backstab, but once i was aware of him, It was no longer a issue, just avoid passing where he is. I used to die a lot trying to get to a distant zerg or one of the big battles going on.. a lone player is easy pickings for an ambush roamer, specially when you've swapped out one of your skills for a run speed signet to make the trip significantly less tedious. We'll never need to do that again with the Warclaw so when I do get ambushed and dismounted.. I can fight with my full build intact and if I die.. then I wont be so salty about it. > > No more falling behind a zerg and being picked off by stalker.. > If you fall behind your zerg you're doing something wrong I dunno how falling out of the swiftness spam is doing something wrong but ok. unless you have telports or dashes or something its very easy to fall out of the zerg's swiftness spam and fall behind.. I saw it happen to a lot of players all the time, myself included. > > No more boredom running around with little to no actual battles taking place.. > > > I dont understand this, so If there's no battles taking place you will still be bored but now on a mount ? Being ambushed into a 1v1 or 2v1 fights isn't a battle.. it's an annoyance at best. I'm talking about the big battles fought over keeps and towers etc.. they are much more common now since the mount from my experience. I've had many over the past couple weeks.. won a few, lost a few.. all were very fun though and what I found was lacking in WvW. > > Warclaw for me at least has fixed a lot of problems that really made me hate WvW. > Aside mobility and picking fights you KNOW you are going to win....what Else? I don't pick any fights alone actually, my wvw build is designed for supporting a group not 1v1ing. I will loose a vast majority of any 1v1 encounters.. i've no issues with admitting that. Many of the problems driving me away from WvW were related to mobility. Forcing me to change my utility skills.. or weapon to get around faster, being ambushed without my proper setup being equipped, being unable to avoid or run away from fights I didn't want to be in etc. Mounts are just mobility tools at the end of the day but lack of mobility was a big problem for me in WvW causing a lot of other problems that just made me hate playing it.
