Guild Wars 2

There are several ways you could incorporate non-PvE elements. I would like to see a rotation where PvE gets only 1 in 3 updates (the other two being WvW and sPvP).

WvW would be a temporary battlefield perhaps a dungeon with great treasure but also the ability for the enemy to get access to its entrance and gank those trying to PvE much like a Darkness Falls in DAOC. Or it could be a new map with an artifact of power that you try to capture and bring back to your home map.

sPvP. Create a new sPvP map or two instead of a PvE focused event.

Is anyone feeling like Living World events just miss 2/3rds of the game??? (And the best 2/3rds)?

Except that the Living Story already does cross over into WvW and PvP, and that those communities react with overwhelming negativity towards it.

BINGO! We have a winner! +1 to you.

To be honest every time I see living story do something in WvW or PvP outside of pure aesthetics I only ever see people complain, from both sides.

For things like new map in sPVP, that doesn’t really need to be considered living story content. It’s usually packaged along side it.

This… so much this.

OP, check out the various complaint threads in the living world forum for the current LS. People griping about the spore events in WvW….

I think they could merge pvp and pve in one living story. Imagine a conflict or a dispute between the factions(order of whispers and the 2 others) over some matter and then players have to fight players of other factions in some new map or new big instance towards some goal.

Also I don’t like how in general in GW2 the “good guys” are always good guys and the “bad guys” are always bad guys.
