Kill people, take objectives. I dunno if you're on mag but if you see SFD roaming around just follow us around for a bit.

WvW is in a really bad spot atm, there's only one decent map Eternal Battlegrounds don't bother going to the others.

Would having the glacial borderlands again even make a difference among all the other poo poo the changes to WvW and guild bonuses did to this mode?

The new maps are pretty and that's mostly it, but that's generally the thing with this expansion (other than the thread title), to the point I think the only competent people working for Anet are the web programmers and the artists.

And I just realized that back in June that I had no idea what I was doing in WvW, and after having tried it out again just now, I've still absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I join, I run around on the big map and completely at loss for what to do, find some fellow players who won't answer my questions and then I just end up leaving. What's even the point in WvW? What do I actually do in WvW maps?

As far as I can tell you run around in a big zerg killing each others champion mobs over and over again and try to avoid enemy players

Ah come on, spending the next 5+ minutes catching up to a group (then running around a corner into an enemy zerg just so I can do it again) has always been my favourite part of WvW/EotM.

Yeah that's what I meant with the other changes. But I can see how the smaller glacial borderlands would at least make things slightly better.

I hope that includes deleting specific items rather than plopping your green circle on or near them and hoping for the best

Nah that still sucks poo poo, but at least the thing you are destroying to delete the small thing thats hosed up is much easier to build back.

Also sometimes when you place things there is a dumb green aoe circle blocking what it would look like, but I'm sure they will patch that away eventually. hopefully.

I think it just took them this long to fix it; you'd see the occasional dev running around doing the event, say nothing the whole time, then leave shortly after.

Seriously, we only got 3 sets of new armor with the expansion but somehow they found the time to release what, 4 sets of BL weapons since then. And they were all garbage too.

Unfortunately, while they make awesome spiral stairs, they hit a decoration limit pretty fast if you build too compactly.
