I had been thinking about this for a while, but, how about a PvE centric replacement for WvWvW, rather then servers fighting each other, have 3 servers work together to clear and hold a map from rampaging hordes of all the PVE creatures we fight levelling.
this could be alot of fun, would allow world completion since it would be on the same map as WvWvW, and would allow people to have some “end game grade raid like content” without it really being raids.
have dragons or dragon level mobs to clear off at major points, and multi champion and vet level mobs on lesser points(make it a real challange).
the advantage of this idea is, it would be pretty easy to build since it dosnt require any special content to be created just spawns and bot/ai paths to be layed out, and it would give people something to que up for rather then WvWvW…..
So like an epic mass BOSS mode or a mass zombie mode? That sounds very appealing.
I posted something like this (though different) in the fact that it was WvW styled in a lot of ways except for PvE players.

Your idea obviously wouldn’t take near as much work on their part, but the whole concept of a PvE version of WvW is certainly interesting!
still think they need bigger servers instead of more servers for this to be epic. ( more ppl )

oh i am sure people would que for it, and you need to keep player count reasonable since it effects perf, already players have serious issues in wvwvw with invisable players attacking and such….
and this was what I came up with keeping in mind it would be something they could probably implement without a huge amount of effort and that could be a co-op alternative to the pvp WvWvW, maybe call it W+W+W or something, a place people can go to work with rather then battle their fellow players
could have scores for each server tho to add some competition(and it would also work well to let those doing well know who needed some support)
I would go “whole hog” and have the gamete of enemies coming in waves, as well as a good number of vets and champs, make it HARD, make it FUN make it so people start having to work as a team, to me this would be a blast….and again, one that would be far easier to do in a reasonable amount of time with minimal effort compared to the zax idea(good idea over all, but alot more work to do, would be great for later after they get the game debugged and optimized better and have more free resorces/people)
i can see it in my head, waves of ice elementals and earth elementals attacking us…..as a horde of risen come flooding in and attack us and the ice elemental(risen dont seem to get along with anything….lol) i can just see the epic battles between us and the mobs, who dont always work togather but sometimes fight eachother as well as the players.
i can see the players form one server coming in a zerg to help those from a server that the AI/mobs have on the ropes……i can litterly see it in my minds eye…..and its EPIC…….later down the line there could be a story writen to explain it, but early on, just having the even there to give something else to do would be great…..
and i really doubt it would attract many botters since i rarely if ever see bots intentionally tangle with a vet or champ….(infact some seem programmed to runaway from champions….lol)
man just thinking about this…….if only anet had the tools out there for players to create content……
I think this is a grand idea. I certainly would be interested in this since I love the map in the WvWvW area but refuse to pvp. I just do not like to pvp.

alot of people dont like pvp, thats why I suggest this, Its a way to reuse resources already in game and create something for people to do “end game” rather then running around orr trying to do events that may or may not be working.
I mean going whole hog, escort missions for supplies to the bases once you have taken them over, not just caputre and hold, getting groups up so people can get vista’s and jumping puzzles done despite the npc hordes trying to stop them….
again, I can envision the epic battles now…
+1 .. I just love this idea..

This is a very good idea.
this sounds cool i love wvw but the enemies were facing are extremely tough so were capturing points slowly which also make it take long to complete the areas.

glad people like this idea, hope somebody from anet reads it
i dont like pvp either and wvw is just hordes of players steam rolling camps/keeps lol its just terrible. Your suggestion sounds realy good though and i would take it over wvw anyday.

thanks, and i think it wouldnt so much take over/over take WvWvW as much as supplement it with something for those who dont want to pvp.
it should also be easier to debug then WvWvW…..i would hope anyway
