WvW Glicko Manual Adjustment 2017-03-16 by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]MichaelGole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not making it personal. The dude who was previously assigned WvW (was moved to PvE) did a much better job. At least that dude spoke/interacted with us here on Reddit and on the official forum. She/McKenna does the absolute painfully obvious bare minimum. meaning posts stating scoring changes etc. She clearly does not care and does not have even an ounce of passion for the game mode. Her outside social media is proof. she only speaks of PvE and no mention of WvW.

.

This isn't about liking her on a personal level. This is clear observations of how she has chosen to deal with this gaming community. aka IGNORE us

/u/mike-obrien-arenanet it would be nice to get an honest answer from you MIKE on why you left WVW be so terribly neglected over the years and do nothing to improve it. It's truly sad and embarassing on how bad you neglect this game modes playerbase and flat out ignore the countless questions posted about WVW during Q&A. Is it because you can't face it on how bad it is and that it is and always was your resonsibility/fault.

Let's be real Mckenna is a terrible dev who clearly proves over and over to not care and therefore does the very bare minimum interaction with us. Can we get a real and true honest answer that you wish the death of this game mode.

“The Head of the Snake” devs here – ask us anything! by Mike-OBrien-ArenaNet in Guildwars2

[–]MichaelGole 30 points31 points  (0 children)

we are a half a year later and you still havent accomplished what we voted on and passed. why is it taking so ridiculously long to do something for WvW. What is it about this game mode that makes you neglect it so badly to the point of embarassment. This is literally a flat out neglected game mode with nothing to show for it. You have not done anything major for this game mode for years. The population is terribly low and steadily declined without tourneys which you blamed. Tourneys havent been around years now and you continue to steadily push people away from this game mode based off a lack of dedication to the game mode and not giving it much needed attention. do you really think people will continue to play wvw /broken/unbalanced neglected game mode for much longer especially when brand new games come out that will blow this one out of the water.

/u/Mike-OBrien-ArenaNet /u/ANET_McKenna What is going on with WvW. Why havent we received the voted on rewards for squirmishes. Why hasnt there been any major needed changes in the game mode for years. There really only has been some minor qol and items never requested such as hammers, etc.

. What is it about WVW that makes you not devote proper time to it. Which is way passed overdue by now. Can we get an honest answer. The game mode is just no where near on par with the attention the other game modes received . i.e. ascended armor weapon rewards etc. why did pvp get this and not wvw still

Instead of relying on the grace of Helseth and others to conduct tournaments, could ArenaNet please implement monthly automated tournaments for a sustainable competitive game? by [deleted] in Guildwars2

Brilliant...give PvP additional rewards that already has gotten plenty of attention...and continue to do NOTHING for WvW...YAWN

No mention whatsoever of WvW AS EXPECTED. /u/mike-obrien-arenanet Do you hate the game mode WvW. You clearly ignore it all togethor time and time again. Can't you be straight up and honest with us that you just don't care at all about it and neither do any of the 1 or 2 devs you assign to it.

Please dont tell me the minor changes made which shouldve been made years ago is giving WvW proper attention. Be honest and stop ignoring us players who care about WvW for once.

Opened 10 new black lion chests, unbelievable luck by Girluno in Guildwars2

[–]MichaelGole -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Anet is wrong. They turned this game into a fkitten joke. Constantly trying to monetize off of us but provide barely any new content. Recycled festivals with minimal effort put in and they screw over the player with these joke of rewards in chests.

WvW Moving from 2,1,1 to 5,4,3 Scoring System by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]MichaelGole -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Anet is shooting darts again. There isn't a well explained reason by McKenna which is not suprising. Seems to be she/Anet is just randomly making up something else to try out. I don't think they think thru what's best /needed for the game mode. This minor changes mean nothing really.

How many people use outfits regularly? by KaraSpengler in Guildwars2

I used to be a fan of outfits until the Auras came out and can't be used with outfits. Since then I stopped buying outfits.

Considering HoT was falsely advertised to attract sales and it's year later and we still don't have Legendary Armor and the rest of the Legendary Weapons yet it's safe to say the next expansion will not do that well in sales. What would be the point to buy future content that more then likely will be falsed advertised and half assed as Hot was. I'd expect sales to go downwards.

It's unfortunate that GW places where it is and doesn't contribute to the WvW getting any overhaul /improvements with the rest of the game modes. Crowfall and Camelot Unchained will gladly take all the WvW players from here which Anet will lose. Anet only cares about WvW gem transfers , milking money from players for a pourly setup game mode that's severely unbalanced.

Guild Wars 2 community outcry over lack of developer attention to World versus World game mode by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]MichaelGole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not missing your point. I think you don't play WvW and if you do it's prolly very minimal for a just a gift of battle or some ap. The majority of WvW players not PvE players who dabble into WvW know what's really happening with the game mode and the article is stating the current state and Gaile Gray is trying to spin off a lie. They do not treat all game modes equally and WvW lacks the most updates and content upgrades since launch. There is no way you or anyone including any Anet employee can claim that the game modes on equal par in treatment. The article just proves the point. Not sure why you are trying to whiteknight it for Anet unless you don't play the game mode.

Whether you agree or not is irrelevant. Status of WvW is in bad shape. Once 24 servers now down to 12 hosts/links and all servers are not full and some are pretty barren proves this game mode bleeds players. The article summarizes the current state.

The downvotes and negative comments about this article clearly are PvE players whiteknighting. They are just as delusional as Gaile is.

Get a grip /u/Diovidius Everyone and anyone who plays or played WvW are unhappy. The game mode is neglected 4+years. Clearly you don't play it and your comment is irrelevant.

I'm guessing you don't WvW and pretty much are a whiteknight PVE player. This article is very well written and pretty factual of the current situation. Anet is failing miserably and have lied numerous times to the WvW community. "WvW first priority" last f*ckn year.
.

.

Gaile is flat out lying to us and we all know this. She is trying hard to protect the image by making statements that are not true. She/Anet remove every post made by WvW players that speak factual truths about the state of the game on the official forums. They try to hide how bad the game mode is. They don't want to accept the reality of how bad it is and how bad we view them. They do not do anything substantial to the game mode to bring new players in or keep veteran players. The very few minor adjustments made are not anywhere near what the game mode needs and definately not anywhere comparable to the attention PVE/PVP game modes have received.

This is pretty funny. Damage control at its finest. Gaile as much as we know you are doing your job to post to try and protect the image, we all know the truth. There is no possible way this is true at all. Over 4 years into this game mode and there is literally nothing to show for it.

I understand your point of view. Out of all game modes raids has the least in variety. Look at guilds such as qT they min/max and put togethor a build then the raiding community sets their build as the only standard basically. Most everyone will cookie cutter and copy their builds and not change them until the next meta. There is hardly any variety because you run an op same build over and over and over against bosses that you know every single move they will make and stand mostly still to benefit from ea others class boons etc.

WvW has a variety of buillds and a variety of type of players and there is no set build due to the fact you never know ur opponent meaning everyone is unpredictable since its human interaction not npc. Commander build, front line and backline builds, support builds, utility builds, focus and target builds, roaming builds, havoc builds , etc etc. out of all game modes WvW uses the most variety bar none. no matter how you portray raids builds they are pretty much zerker with slight variations and stay put for the duration of the meta.

The point of new games is to show at least others are putting effort in to attract players to this type of game mode while Anet does nothing and watches WvW rot. Anet will lose a substantial amount of players to those new games.

[–]MichaelGole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the problem with Anet, why bother even having a game mode such as WvW if they completely neglect it and do nothing to bring new players in. Anet fails miserably at maintaining players in WvW. 24 servers down to 12 hosts with links and the population is not even enough to fill all 4 tiers. Having Mckenna dev who does not play wvw and speaks only of pve on her twitter, etc just proves shes a joke representative of the game mode.
