Guild Wars 2

Battlegrounds: I only have one thing to underline and it is my interest for that. World vs World type is my favorite because we have direct effect on the server and all players on it. Using sieges to capture castles and towers is very interesting for regrouping the teams together to lead to success.

I know that we can join WvWvW or sPvP anytime and be temporarily level 80 but you don’t have the same strength as high levels and die really fast. I personnally don’t like sPvP much (it’s just my play style) so I would go WvW more.

I’d recommend Battlegrounds for lower level players who want to play WvWvW style and want to stand a fair chance to accomplish something on their own (wihout true 80s to help). In the past, on another game, I played battlegrounds with keep/tower captures system and it was just too awesome. While leveling you could go there and help your server mates as if you were already 80 in this place. It gave us a break from PvEing and Questing.

I am someone who prefer, by far, play PvP than PvE. I think Guild Wars 2 offer a great PvE and im happy to be here but, in my opinion, it needs more PvP accessiblity for those who are not level 80 yet and wants to play PvP (other than sPvP capture the points/flag).

I personally think the game would be perfect if we had World vs World vs World style for lowbies.

Thanks for reading my point. I am sure this idea had been in mind of some people already too.

basically you want a wvw playground for levels 2 – 79 without interference from level 80 is that it?

Not exactly. Each battleground will be a zone apart of WvWvW main lands. There could be battlegrounds for each group of levels. Basically it was every 5 levels but in this game, since there are so many levels, there could be one battleground for each 10 or 20 levels. Like level 10-19 battleground1, 20-29 battleground2… or 10-29 battleground1, 30-49 battleground2? I know it could be a bit hard to set up but maybe there is a fair way to do it.

Example: let’s say we have a BG for levels 10-19. Either we can just let player have their actual equipments and stats but will have a little hard time if you’re 10 facing level 19 enemies… OR giving a stat boost for low ones to be adjusted for level 19 (like we do for WvWvW to be 80). Also, we can think about allowing (or not) any level to enter any BG with their levels/stats adjusted just like PvE zones.

OR simply lock each battlegrounds for players based on their real levels and keep it simple.

sounds like too much work.

wvw is fine as it is now.

The battlegrounds don’t need to be as large as WvWvW we know. Just add 2 spawns, give it a few towers and one central keep. Enough space to battle here and there, to siege and it’s all good.

The genius behind the current system is that it doesn’t matter how many people of a given level bracket are playing. WvW is always going. Everyone’s level 80. Any time, those interested can join in the massacre, take the castle, storm the keep, or what have you.

The thing I wonder is, why is it that we can’t use our sPvP gear while in the mists? What is it that makes WvW and SPvP entirely separate? Thoughts? I get that WvW is directly linked to the PvE world and all, It just seems to me that SPvP has more of a fair balance, since everyone has relatively equal stats and gear.

Then again, when i take my level 2 mesmer into WvW for giggles and actually kill someone, I do feel a sense of accomplishment.

Seems like a fine idea to me. I occasionally play wvw on low levels cause I need to level those to and the PvE world became sooo boring after replaying it 3 times. Instead I want to level while doing something fun ,e.g. WvW. It is quite hard to gain levels at all, even while following around a zerg. You nearly never get a chance to kill someone.

So imo a battleground with lower levels would be fine, IF it is per 20-ish levels and low levels still get a chance to log into the level 80 battleground.
