Guild Wars 2

Will there be a type of ascended gear (pvp gear) for WvW too? This was one of my biggest problems after about 3 weeks WvW felt pointless. I think if there was a WvW equivalent to Ascended gear it would make a big difference.

How is power creep a good job?

Maybe I’m missing something because I haven’t been to WvW yet, but how would everyone getting 10 points more on their armor make it less pointless to you?

Well I hope they at least add special upgrade sigials that can only be acquired thru wvw that bring your exotics up to par with the pve dungeon gear. Also add a better selection of wvw gear the current stuff is kinda crap for most builds.

I don’t want power creep but if that’s the road your going please don’t make me do pve. It’s not why I play this game and I don’t feel it’s right to make people who strictly wvw have to do dungeons to stay competitive in wvw vs people who take a few weeks off to grind out a dungeon.

That would just be the first tier. Rank 1 or w/e. Add about 4 more ranks and some titles, and they would be on the right track.

Next the need to expand the map or find a way to add more small group objectives that effect the game. Then make guild keeps mean something.

yeah great update, now there’s something to strive for again

There’s already a thread about ascended gear. Why create a new one?

This is about WvW progression. Did you miss that in the OP?

Lets make it so there are WvW levels, which only exist in WvW in addition to real levels, and increase your power just as much as real levels, so we can add a whole new layer of “progression” and content-specific power creep. That way the people who feel like “WvW is pointless.” can play it to “progress” instead of for fun, and everyone will need to grind their WvW level to compete on an even playing field, because who needs skill when you have artificial stat requirements to win, gained through grinding?

Well once the fun wore off, there was no point. Atleast with progression in WvW you could work for something (in the end fun) until the fun kicks in.

NO. We don’t need this type of gear in WvW. Neither sPvP nor WvW should have this. They need to kill this ascended armor idea . They should have just used the old GW1 infusion system if they wanted to keep pve people happy. Real pvp players don’t need uber stat gear.
