Guild Wars 2

We are almost halfway into February, the update is under two weeks away, and then it’s March. It may seem far off, but there’s always time to look ahead. With the WvW changes being moved next month, the March update looks to be huge.

So with that in mind, it’s always fun to place some expectation in the matter, and voice what you’d like to see. Here are some of the things I’m looking forward/hoping most to seeing in the update:

• Dungeon upgrades. Not only the bosses, but I hope all the paths will be streamlined a bit, making it more fun and engaging. I also hope to see some additional paths added to all dungeons.

• World additions. Hopefully the world bosses will be a bit more fun to tackle, and be a bit more rewarding. I’d also like more DEs added to all areas, making the world feel more alive with a variety of activity. And I hope more DEs will have a bit more impact, changing things as events happen.

• Loot drops. Overall I’d like to see drops be a bit more enticing. Not only that, but I really hope March will finally address the drop bug that’s been plaguing some of us.

• New activities. I doubt we’ll be seeing polymock soon, but here’s hoping that Bar Brawl and some other activities will finally be added into the game.

• Late game Ascended items. We’ll definitely be seeing more ascended gear coming into the game. I hope there will be a system where level 80s can get ascended items out in the world through trade-ins. Sort of how collectors worked in GW1, here you can either sell or keep items that you can eventually trade in for ascended items and ascended collectors.

• Home instance additions. This is also maybe not as close as I reckon, but ways to change and improve your home instance would be great. I’d also like a feature where you can visit a friend’s instance without needing him/her to piggyback you along.

That’s about it. Will add more if I think of them. What would you like to see added in March?

What i’d like to see for march ? Simple ..

March has beeen announced as a focus update on WvW, then it should simple be this also!
A huge uodate, that is just 100% based on changing, optimizing, improving,, balancing just simply ONLY WVW, to fix this game mode and make it a much more exiting and funny thing to play as it is like now!!

So no wasting time on any other things, that are not bonded to the topic of WvW.
——-

What I personally expect from the great announced WvW Update:

1. Implemention of a working Culling Solution
2. Major changes about the current WvW Map making WvW in general more interesting with alot more choosable playable Maps.
Instead of having like only 2 maps, where 1 map is splitted up into exact 3 same looking, WvW should have for the beginning like 4 to 5 competely different Maps.

• Eternal Battlefields
• Borderslands (fused together into 1 Map)
• New Map 1 (Lets call it the “Valley of the Mists”) inspired by the FotM Loading Screen Design
• New Map 2 (Lets call it the “Fields of Despair”)
• New Map 3 (Lets call it the “Underworld – Realm of Torment”

Just to have more interesting variety in WvW with different theme based WvW Concepts and conditions for winning on those different maps

3. Changes to the Undermanned Buff, making it a serious buff, that really helps and isnt just a kitten joke, that is never of any help at all.

4. Massive improvements to WvW based NPC’s …

5. Adding in more things to the Siege Weapons and options to upgrade things in the maps of Eternal Battlefields/Borderlands.

6. Adding to Towers ect. on the walls protective zones, so that players on walls can be so gad dam easily killed by massive AoE spam in seconds.
Improving skilsl with buffs, when beign used from the walls, to balance WvW, when it comes to defending places…

7. Improving alot the Street NPC Veterans, so that getting the streets becomes more important, other than that they can maybe kill some hurted dolyaks now and then…

8. Improve alot the rewards and achievements in WvW, making them less of a grind, adding in ascended item stuff there, making collecting honor badges easier and without beign basically forced to perma grind the JP’s just to make some easy honor badges..
making honor badges should become something, that you receive from strongly participating in WvW… not from making JP’s.. thats the reason, why those badges get at the moment everywhere ironically called just only “Badges of Jumping”, because they aren’t in any way gained by doing something honourous in WvW like taking keeps, defending places and so on …

9. Maybe balancing WvW more by changing the skill system for WvW giving all classes fix skill sets that are special made for WvW, just like we get fix skill sets for the snowball pvp… I think it would be a real great step into better WvW balance, if classes would get special WvW skill sets and with that better “ROLES”

in snowball, we received also different skill sets, based on the “roles” we have chosen for our characters.
SO 3 different skill sets based for WvW for each class.

1 Set for Support, 1 Set for Control, 1 Set for Damage Dealing.
So every player can take the role skill setting that suits most to the player’s most liked play style and the gamre in general would profitate from this by having a much easier to balance WvW system.

10 adding in alot more events for WvW maps, that really can have some big influence on the outcome of WvW, if they get ignored for too long time.
adding in alot more of weather based changes and so on, that have impact on what actually happens in the maps.
More enemy/creature based events that are bindable into WvW to get temperarly in the maps some kind of little advantages… example a stampede of dolyaks overwhelming some enemies, because an other side has aggroed them into an enemy camp …

The current WvW feels like, as if this game mode is just using like 10 % only of its real potential this game mode really has… and the march update has to change this!

I want to see:

More dynamic events related to this new melting ice cream story line.
More numerous and more specific options for daily achievements. (If there ever is one that reads “kill this many grawl” I will be doing that one every day. I hate grawl, they killed my grandmother)
WvW fixed to the point where I feel like I can tell what’s going on with my just-above-minimum-reqs video card.
