Guild Wars 2

We need a victory party for the server that wins WvW for the week in their bracket. The cities of the victorious server should have confetti falling and random npc’s commenting on it, like “Did you hear, we won the mist wars!” “Our soldiers are so brave!” and “There are rumors that enemy forces are regrouping already.”

The victory celebration should last for 24 hours so that every time zone can see it. This should be “fluff” only and not delay the start of the new week’s battle.

Benefits: Fun, would inspire more people who normally don’t play WvW to try WvW.

I would love that. I love WvW and I love my server (Tarnished Coast). That would be awesome.
+1

so during this 24 hours the winning team owns all the fortifications and pvp can still breakout, but the other two teams can’t take anything back(?)

A buffer cool down so to speak, in which all the pve’s looking to get the achievement for 100% could do that, without taking up spots during the real battle. In fact might motivate some to help during the rest of the week so they can get the celebration.

Also might enforce more pride for your server to see “yeah! we did it!”.

Or maybe I am reading more into what you mean.

24 Hours is wayyyyyyy too long for all forts to not be capturable. An hour at most would be bearable but anet would still risk kitten off the most active part of the game.

No.

WvW is entirely too broken especially in terms of ranks to give winners a victory party. Many tiers have been facing the same or similar match-ups for weeks now, and due to coverage and population imbalances, can do nothing but back cap and wait to lose the next fortification on their map.

Winning is not everything in WvW, everyone who participates week after week to the same ho-hum matchup, against the same ridiculous zergs, against the same impossible odds, should be appreciated, not just the winners.

Maybe give parties to all servers, but varying levels of celebration. But to only reward a winner would only make servers who are locked in predictable matches less of a reason to play.

I think the author just wanted to say that NPCs in PvE cities should celebrate victory in mists war for 24 hours and nothing else, WvW forts should not be affected, just PvE celebration

That makes sense. But everyone knows WvW doesn’t fit into lore of PvE so NPCs other than the mist warriors announcing and celebrating it would be weird.

I’m pretty sure that’s what he meant.
Otherwise, it would make no sense.

Well the OP was edited and Gummy.4278 mentions WvW forts being affected, so it’s entirely possibly for it to not make sense.

I replied before the editing, and he never said that (otherwise I wouldn’t have agreed with him).

So then Gummy is talking about something to OP didn’t even mention, yeah, that’s even more confusing then.

I never meant for it to affect WvW in any way. Just a little celebration. Yes, the celebration would go on even though the map had been reset, hence the “There are rumors that enemy forces are regrouping already.”

Also, the only thing I changed in my edit was adding the Benefits part because it looked incomplete without a “why” after I reread it.

I like that.

It will add to the feeling, and maybe some PvE people can get curious enough to try WvW

Yeah. Maybe just some sort of small victory celebration and decorations around the portal area in LA. It couldn’t hurt anything, and gives you something to show for winning your Tier, which can be confusing to tell for players who don’t follow WvW.
