  • I return to WVW solo roaming after taking some time to hone my build and skills. Have I improved? Maybe. I run into a lot of interesting characters in the borderlands and have a wild time.
    Very special thank you to Jag for sending in my very first paypal tip! I greatly appreciate your support!

    The God of WVW shruged because you kinda ran and waited for cooldowns, its common on sPVP but not really good on the eyes for those who only roam.
    -
    About Toxicity, hard to say, i think its pretty much equal but expressed in a different way. WVW people have Roamer Ego and Server Ego, and as you said, it will always be towards the enemy, because everyone wants to be seem in the "fucking god tier server" (it went down a little after the alliance servers).
    PS: Dont worry about rank, some people will be REALLY BAD and its on 9k 10k level, because they only do group run which gives you a lot of xp, roamers spend 70% of their time walking, 30% fighting and 5% getting xp lmao, so it doesnt really tell if someone is good or not based on their rank

    desert bl is probably the worst map to roam on, but at least you don't get too overwhelmed by the amount of ppl

    but yeah EBG is like going to the zoo, there is a lot more clouding and/or zerging, so you'll get caught up in outnumbers very often

    I'm a player with maximum rank in wvw, ultimate dominator and all that junk titles that the game provides and to be quite honest, these titles say nothing about the player's skill. Many of these titles are earned by the player playing in a zerg boonball. Just to be clear, I don't think I'm an excellent player, but I've killed players with maximum rank, "Ultimate Dominator II, III" titles that the player seemed like a newbie in the game as well as I died several times to low ranks, but the player knew what he was doing with the class.
    About toxicity, wvw is made up of players with so much, but so much ego, that currently I only play "invisible" so as not to receive so many whispers and still, I receive people complaining by email, dropping siege, etc.
    Just keep creating these videos, you're a very good player and soon you'll realize that these ranks mean nothing.

    I found out about your channel because the first video of you trying WvW showed up for me so I thought “why not?” and been here ever since.
    I, personally, believe WvW is way more toxic than PvP. In PvP you can get some toxic teammates, have people corpse jump and emote but that’s it, whereas in WvW you can be, literally, hunted down for a long time until you leave that game mode.
    But yeah, whenever you enter a competitive scenario it’s quite expected to have some toxicity but in WvW things tend to go overboard at times.

    These videos are great. As a fellow roamer who is still trying to improve its nice seeing even very experienced players dying from time to time.
    And unfortunately toxicity in wvw is common but not all roamers are like that. It mostly tends to be Celestial players who hit a wall against decent players and don't like it (as demonstrated by that mirage). Luckily the upcoming patch should oust most of them 😅 I've rarely come across toxic power players, usually they are just glad to have some fun duels against non bunker stuff.
    Also not sure if you already know the etiquette on duels and stuff but doing a /bow is how most people initiate a duel. And you can block a player, double click their name from block list and then unblock them to shoot them a message. Met a lot of awesome people that way

    I think pvpers are just bétter at flaming (& resulting in more toxicity) because they are often more skilled (and have more focussed playtime as opposed to being high and not really thinking/improving gameplay). That is probably why WvW seems milder, because the experience is both present in skill and flaming toxicity.

    You talking about toxicity and then you do the cow ass finisher on the ranger hahaha hilarious. What you gotta take in mind is that differently than in pvp, people are not aleays looking for an engage. The mesmer was just doing a camp capture probably for daily achiev and the ranger was doing a sentry cap (also a daily achiev). So get the picture: youre on an empty mapavoiding big fights you wanna get your dailies before you go play zergs or havocs, and then a random guy comes to bother you on a build that ooc's (ooc is very badly regarded in wvw, it is something noob pk players do and everyone hates them) so it isnt strange they hate on you. I will put it in pvp terms for you: you were to them the same as fixated pvper that doesnt care about the match and just goes for you even if he throws the game, and goes as far as to stay in your spawn to wait for you. My advice: only duel people that engage first, those above silver rank, those not lone capping, and/or those that you ask for a fight (/bow)

  • @jurare89

    Well, you´ve proven a very important point that ppl very often ignore: WvW-rank means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. as a matter of fact, lower-ranked players (not completely fresh without even having all wvw-abilities unlocked, but not high-ranked either) can very often be FAR stronger, especially in roaming, than a high-ranked player (including god of wvw).
    because:
    1. as you´ve demonstrated, they may be a very experienced PvP-player. and while the balancing isn´t exactly the same, and the meta is sometimes quite different, this doesn´t change anything about the skill you acquired.
    2. as a roamer you get a LOT less WXP compared to a "zerg-surfer". because you won´t flip objectives as often, especially higher tiered ones, and you´ll also get a lot less kills as you don´t participate in large-scale zerg-fights typically.
    3. alt-account :)
    The toxicity is an unfortunate phenomenon that you find in any PvP-based game(mode), and i can´t really comment on which mode is worse or not. but people generally blame "easier" builds to be the difference-maker (which is not entirely true). Yes, easier builds (especially until the next balance-patch: celestial builds) elevate not-so-good players a lot higher than other builds, but they are not as unkillable and overpowered as ppl claim them to be (i myself have VERY often been accused of "abusing" celestial on Fresh-Air Weaver, despite running marauder-stats).
    ~18:40 absolutely no shame on you. They were likely part of the zerg, and it´s their own fault that they let themselves get dragged away from the group by you. That´s a very common rookie-mistake that even veterans tend to do, you just punished this mistake (which is normal in PvP-based games). So nobody to blame other than the Tempest itself.

    WvW Roaming is just as if not more toxic than PvP. But roaming is a tiny minority in WvW. Most WvW is done in groups and that is far more friendly usually.

    On toxicity, I haven't experienced much in WvW, but in unranked pvp I've had people afk and trash talk because I was new.
    I have had some good experiences. Some fun matches, people seem friendly enough, offering advice for builds. But this level of sportsmanship killed any interest in the game mode.
    My WvW first impressions; I had a wonderful 1v1 series in a Harbinger mirror. Got a friendly whisper afterward too.

    13:25 Oh WvW definitely has toxic players. Just like people who are bad at Dark Souls, they will 3v1 you and jump all over your body and act like they are the best.
    Between that and other behaviors, I’ve just been molded and learned to fight dirty and give no mercy in WvW. I don’t do anything toxic like throw siege, but I don’t let people get back up and I’m not afraid to push them off ledges.

    The toxicity in PvP feels worse because its your team who should be trying to win with you. In WvW its lots of bad manners from enemies which is mostly forgivable because you are enemies.

  • @MezUndead
    @MezUndead 13 дней назад +1

    I've pretty much only really played WvW since launch and it's hands down the most toxic gamemode, but it comes as part of the territory I feel - especially due to how you're extremely limited in the ways can interact with the enemy. Corpse jumping has always been a thing and is pretty much the GW2 equivalent of tea-bagging but throwing siege used to be a tactical thing, because it prevented your allies from rezzing you, forcing you to waypoint.
    I usually just hit people with a /sleep to imitate them being dead if they've been particularly toxic 😅
    Also, just as a side note, don't put too much faith into food/oil - they're minor stat boosts at best which are obviously nice to have but not necessary - with the exception of Orrian Truffle & Meat Stew, which you'll mostly likely want to run on a Vindi build at some point.

      @@rabidmonkey04 Thank you very much!
      The dodging vs stowing thing is specifically to not hit the spellbreaker's full counter. I could have explained that better. You can use a stow weapon bind to cancel your attack and not pop the full counter. I was dodging to cancel my attack and not hit the full counter. Stowing is better because you don't waste dodges

    I think you used to be able to get a little closer to spawn and the guards would kill you. Now it teleports you before they aggro. If you tag a guard at a tower, keep, camp, or sentry, you do not have to stay if someone else is there to take it and you will still get credit.

    First. Welcome back to WvW. It is a fun game mode. So many build varieties.
    Second: like your vids. Learned some neat tricks for my rev.
    Third: as someone who has been playing wvw for 12 years. Helped when i disabled whispers on main chat window. And swapped it to another tab labeled "salt mine".
    Four: more angry whispers, means better you are doing. Do this long enough, and your guild tag [if you rep one] ends up being a "kill on sight". Keep up the good work.
    Oh, last note [pardon wall of text]. Keep a stack of salt. Mail it to your sweatiest of angry whispers.

I'm new to rev (gave the class a shot 'cause of your vids) and after some time getting used to it, it finally clicked and is a ton of fun. My brain just didn't get rev all that well until today cause sometimes when I want to swap weapons I accidentally swap legends instead and vice versa lol. Didn't think it takes that much time getting used to it but it's a lot more engaging than my warrior. Your guides helped a lot, keep up the great work!

    I'd argue that one of the most toxic parts of wvw is the roaming and a lot of roamers are or were pvp players.
    If you engage with the mid to large scale combat of wvw which is what most people do you can go for days, weeks or even months on end without encountering much if not any toxicity.
    On the flipside i can't remember the last time i went to play some pvp without seeing people get toxic.
    You might be right though that toxicity in pvp is more so aimed at team members. Then again i think if you're a plat level player you may be over the hill and not see as much of the toxicity that is happening on the lower end of the rankings where everyone thinks they are legendary rank players and yet they are stuck in silver 3 or gold 1.
