Guild Wars 2

So first Anet totally ruins and kills the EB JP by making it separate from WvW. This killed any and all JP PvP that happened there, because now nobody ever goes there. Some of the best PvP in the game is now dead because of this change, and the whiners that made it happen.

Now on top of that, people who want to do only the EB JP have to wait in the EBG queue just to get into it, even further killing it.

WE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO WAIT IN A 20 MINUTE QUEUE JUST TO DO A DEAD JP!

You catered to the cry babies who complained that 20 of their people are in the JP instead of mindlessly zerging around with them in brainless PvP, so now cater to those of us who actually liked the EB JP. Put the entrance to it in LA, and don’t force us to sit in a queue for something we want nothing to do with.

Wait, the jump puzzle there isn’t a ganker’s paradise anymore and the people that are doing the jump puzzle aren’t necessarily WvW players and are actually those that just want to get their world complete done?

I have to agree, moving the portal someplace else isn’t a bad idea.

I think the reason EB JP gets less action has to do more with siege being super cheap and plentiful everywhere else now.

Putting the port in LA is an interesting idea though. Not sure how that could work between 3 servers.

The JP is not required for World Completion.

It’s such a fun pvp zone Needs more love.

Only if you’re a completionist.

PS: Will be interesting to see if ANet bothers to put anymore Living Story achievement-related requirements in there (see: kite basket)

This…

Wait wait wait. What happened to it?

Cuz if they gutted that JP or ripped it from WvW I am gonna be CHEESED.

That is the ONLY place you can gank and screw over other players. You do not get to take away all of it. The entire rest of the game is a carebear carnival where everyone only exists to help everyone else. Life needs contrast sometimes.

Other MMOs like Rift, WoW, Fallen Earth and others let you kill, grief, camp, and gank people out in the open PvE world ‘till you look in the mirror and realize you’ve ganked your own soul, and the circle is complete. Asking for one lousy JP area to be the “griefer reservation” is not too much to ask.

Gentlemen, my jimmies have been ruffled.

And before you ask, no, I have never camped the place, but I am romanced by its themes. I understand what It is. If I have to go there for the chest or living story I go in at 4AM with a friend, check around every corner, scan every sightline, and move quickly to the goal because I’m expecting the worst and welcome the thrill.

It’s not even like it’s mindless indulgence. It’s unique in that there are many new possible and interesting strategies. For example, many control skills can subvert another player’s efforts making positioning and timing important. The interesting terrain more than lends itself to creative play. Anyway, it can be more varied and involved than what you might usually do in WvW, zerg, spam and steamroll yet some would grant that greater and unquestionable legitimacy by comparison.

PvP there was fun? Afaik there was never even “real” PvP there, it was just people trolling with knockback, cripple, fear, etc. to make sure others couldn’t reach the end.
