In an official forum post a week or two ago, you mentioned that changes were coming to the Bloodlust buff before the start of the League season.
Can you elaborate at all what these changes will be (for example changing the buff from stats to PPT)?
Rithwis, Righteous Golem of Camelot | Skritha, Orc Archer of Tamriel | Bloodwod, Sawbones of Auraxis | Thrumdi, Blue Norn of Tyria | Gwidwod, Spider of the Ettenmoors | Gideon Slack, Hunter of Alsius
Yep.
1. Does Anet think about rising the cap on wvw maps? - after promoting the leagues and lower price for transfering we see alot of people moving to top tiers it is normal now to have 1-2 q hours q on primetime servers or anet think this is normal ?
2. Can we have update on the leaked gvg arena info,how far is this from implementing in game?
3. After introducing so many offensive masteries for rams trebs catas, are anet planing to rise the hp of doors nad walls of the keeps? it is just hilarious how t2 t3 keep melt right now if group of 20-30 people attack it with superior siege.
4. After introducing the new wvw map and the capture points,what does anet think that new layout gave to wvw? Have they analyzed the impact of bloodlust and what they plan to change introduce more for it?
5.Can we have Anet developers and leading wvw comanders wvw guild leaders to discuss what Anet want to achieve with iWvW and what can be done to improve WvW experience? For example Eve online policy with players' elected concil and ect.
6. When we will have real wvw understanding developers? No offence intended but Devon Carter background is Q&A for german players before,as far as we know?,and honestly the Gw2 developers videos preseting wvw masteries classes are just hilarious. Come on how can you develop something if you don't understand its mechanics and trends. How can you make meaningful changes if you don't know what is broken and why it is broken.
7. As with the start of hte league and the achievements,Is tehre a fear in Anet that people can abuse WvW as it happened after the champion loot change. there is a lot of footage on zergs,and groups runing by each other just capping teh enemies towers keeps for loot and achievements?What does Anet think about it and how they plan to counter it if it happens.
8. Can we expect improvements in the queue system. As in the moment it is totaly random,maybe implemeting on order or something like that so you can see how many guys before you are in queue some info for the average wait for the night?
Actually, right now you can.
Pretty sure that's still going, you might want to check. Not ALL lower tier servers, but any server with sufficiently low population, it's currently free.
Sorry for posting it here but hopefully these questions can be used as I can't attend it myself so I will watch it a day later.
1) With the current state of masteries and power creep that seems to be going on, are there any plans to allow tier 4 upgrades at keeps? Especially the reinforced gates melt within a minute these days.
2) The loot in WvW is abysmal compared to PvE at the moment. On the forums you talked about improving these, can we expect any improvents before the end of this year?
3) Escorting dolyaks used to be a full event, meaning you got karma and silver aswell. This got changed due to the mass amount of bots going on at that moment. Currently I don't find any bots anywhere anymore so my compliments for that, however does this mean we will see the old rewards back? As a commander it's nearly impossible to convince people to escort dolyaks as the reward is very lackluster at the moment.
4) Can we expect commander system improvents before the end of this year? Maybe the first quarter of 2014? It's very hard for anyone not on TS to keep track of what every commander is doing on a single map during peak times.
5) You shared some of your vision with us when the leagues got announced. Personally I think you want to turn WvW into more than a "practice zone" for sPvP so that is something that excites me, could you maybe share more details on how you envision the future of WvW?
6) This is a more personal question but as lead designer of something major as WvW, how do you deal with the huge amounts of stress and pressure that the community throws at you?
If anyone at MMORPG could maybe ask some of these questions, it would be really appreciated ^^
Did you actually read what you just quoted back at me?
Hint: the word "about" is in bold and italics for a reason.
How will Anet Support GvG in the future?
are the "leaked" information about the arena in the JP true and if so when is this going live?
Reading comprehension is important when correcting someone and I do not say this to insult you but just to let you know. You are in this instance misunderstanding the sentence.
"If you have any questions ABOUT tomorrow's Q&A..." i.e. "How many questions you think they'll have time for tomorrow" not the actual questions for the Q&A
hoped that helped clear it up for you
Right, my questions are about tomorrows Q&A. Those are the questions I want answered. What were you expecting, someone to ask if ET stood for Eastern?
There are no such servers, thus there are no transfers.
