Guild Wars 2

Since population has dropped have you consider re vamping the game a bit.

let me use WoW for the cities since it is the best example. The reason to why races got their own major city and a leader was to have major raid im talking about taking out the boss of the city achieving greatness in it. WoW had a two faction split so that WAR was on. the feeling of commitment to a side mean something.

now i know WvW is that but it just the same generic npc land and ever constant pvp.

the SPVP is just rather bad ? you have red vs blue from teh SAME server. Again no commitment feeling just …(oh im on blue cool or im on red cool ) this doesnt make sense to me.

Now ive rant off the issues that ive had now for my suggestion for the PVE side
Being massive open world is fine THAT is if you can have population to fill in gaps

My suggestion is to get rid of overflow server cuz atm its really stupid there arent even that many ppl to even need overflow server. know what funny your overflow server is more populated then the real server.

2nd is to get rid of the majority of npc in faction city and make one central city thus is where the dynamic event will take place.

another suggestion i had is to introduce X number of house of (insert cool name) to join this would perhap be a pve/pvp contested area. And or it could be implemented to Spvp so that it matter and who you join with sort of like faction that actully matter. And with esport you could like have the X number of house of (x) compete with each other for the top 5 best player of each house and go at it with other house til one remain. Who ever account is bounded to the winner of the house gets like 10% off of Ingame gold purchases and a really cool armor look to use

I know this is a lot to take in but be open mind.

Last I check WoW population dropped since Halloween.
In fact you can pour through the WoW forums, and google it if you don’t believe me.

You want WoW, go play WoW.

soulstar i didnt say i wanted to play WoW but again most other mmo that have no faction only have one capital for everything. The only good reason to why WoW had it city and landscape divided was cuz of two faction competing. I feel its really a waste of Npc and large landscape if it not going to be populated ? I was only merely suggesting a downsizing major city to a single and converting the Racial major city to have its own dynamic event part take. Why am i suggesting this oh i dont know cuz maybe the world is too big for the ammount of population that in WvW like an friggin idiots. If i wanted to play a big game with open world single player mode id bought other games. no i wanted to play this game for its MMO massive scale …. what massive about it if no one gonna explore if every one park in lion arch hench why overflow starts only there and why ppl dont leave the starting area is cuz well there no level restriction ?

If i was arenet id put a cap on exp gain five level above the area at least this would stop ppl parking in easy part gaining so much exp still.

Games declining no doubt about it Fractals a key reason the mass account bans another, poor end game content, lack of content, lack of communication about updates as well as bugs in game. Theres more focus on banning bots and gold farming then making the game more enjoyable for legitimate players a very Naziesque mentality in this game such as if they dont agree or like what players say they either censor it or flat out ban you!
Also pvp vs wvw has little to no reward other then costume skins which im sorry to say is a sad motivator. Culling issues still not addressed no LFG tab or option causing for very little interaction between servers without going to an outside source to form groups! Bugs like map completion not rewarding Gifts of Exploration without visiting an already explored POI all show very little concern or effort for immediate or even timely fixs. Because of poor planning and prepartion exploits are rampant and taking more time away from fixing and improving issues in game that would make for a more enjoyable experience!
The game has wonderful potential but without relevant content or serious fixs there will be little reason to return to the game or invest any more money to play! Just my two cents worth feel free to disagree or criticize my outlook but its simply my honest opinion!

Thanks for the continuation of yet another wasted “population” post. If your going to suggest something, post something showing your an intelligent human being with something to actually say because you sir actually didn’t really say anything compared to any other population post. Step away from the game and pick up a book.

wow thxs for not you know helping me or even think about what im saying. I am merely pointing out the fact that larger space require larger server base and you know NPC isnt counted as a population control Player are since that what mmo games are base on. How many times have i seen the exact same vendor selling the same kitten in one city. Named Npc used to be the quest giver …. there isnt one anymore so a majority of this is really useless. Im looking at the company able to maintance such a big server data space 24/7 which require payment to maintain and with that they are also maintaining GW1.

My suggestion is merely to help everyone. downsizing the world and NPC number just mean less rendering mean less lag and less lag = more player to come join and with more player being rendered faster mean the world can be bigger then before since you have social group more. Yes i have a custom rig to play this game in 120FPS so it isnt an issue to me but for other poor folks that can afford 60 dollar but not 500-2000 dollar rigs cant play because of rendering problem hence due to massive npc.

Now answer my question of all the npc you see in major city race faction which one has a purpose in player most wanted list. There alot of NPC that just talks just only talk dont get me wrong i like that but is it really needed with no events to go on these npc just well are just standing there.

But you know they could add mini games to npcs to make it a bit more lively. such as helping harvest the crop as a resource daily contribute to something. Fishing. donation ur raw resources. play hide n seek. help catch criminal etc this could go with obtaining karma daily. call it daily karma so that its meant for one person and a day.

lastly use ur brain have some creativity thought bashing down my idea is only going to put bad karma in you. Positive thought makes tomorrow better.
