Hiya,
After seeing all this negativity on the forums it’s actually quite depressing to log on the forums now but let me get to the point.
I’m a WvW main player, WvW not EotM before anyone starts the finger pointing.
AWESOME JOB ON HOT.
- The new PvE maps are amazing once you take the time to explore them as a guild.
- The flying brings a whole new experience which I’ve never had in game like this before and flying with friends to new places is great fun.
- Hunting for our guild hall was a real challenge and co-ordinating capturing it was enjoyable and gave us a real sense of achivment once we completed it.
- Masteries give a new sense of goals to work towards and brings variety to gameplay.
WvW: My home
- The new map is god kitten amazing, the look and terrain is incredibly designed and just requires players to think abit more.
- There’s lots of negativity about playerbase dropping off, people don’t like change if they will leave because they aren’t willing to learn and try the new maps or adapt to changes then they aren’t really the types of people we want in the game. I agree there’s some things in WvW that were implemented which cause physical pain like SIEGE DISABLERS and the stab change and other small things altho the AC line of sightis ruined now the extra fortified tower kind of counter it.
- The tier 3 gates and autoupgrading, my personal “blobstoppers” jk this is a great improvement on lower tier servers not getting screwed so hard and makes k training not so easy.
- The WvW population has NOT decreased, people are playing new content like any expansion, the same as when CoD 4 goes to CoD 5 new stuff for people to try out and work towards, give it a week and WvW will be full up again.
- “The new maps are too big” NO the new maps are awesome it’s hard to take keeps aganst defenders, defenders have time to get to objectives. The large expanse of open fight areas are what players have wanted for years for large scale open battles. And wandering around them this weekend has given me lots to be excited for once WvW is full again.
- Guild upgrades, we haven’t been able to use them yet but they look like they will prove to bring new element to objective based fights/defences which deviates from the usual.
There’s so much I haven’t done yet and this is all so great so farm, the new specializations I tried in PvP so much fun, not for everyone but not everyones the same! Also in the past it’s been rare I enjoyed PvE apart from it being a means to gear up for WvW and never liked the living story content every 2 weeks due to repetitive grinding, but this is now a huge step in the right direction!
So much i have missed out so please add all your positive experiences and things which you enjoy below! (No negativity pls)
