Guild Wars 2

@ArenaNet
Please enable Costume Brawl and toys usage in World Versus World. Why not have fun and just troll for a few moments in those areas? Miniatures and Boxes of Fun are allowed in World Versus World, but toys are not allowed in those major sections of the game, and then you expect those players to actually buy toys from gem store and have fun with them.

With this topic I kindly request access and usage of Toys (and Costume Brawl enabled) in WvW. Thank you for your understanding.

They took them out of WvW because it became a “distracting activity that doesn’t relate to WvW main objectives as well as makes players participating take up queue positions”.

These things can be done in cities, in areas waiting for boss spawns (like the swamp), and just about everywhere in Tyria. And coming soon I’m sure they can be done in Guild Halls as well. I see no issue with them not being in WvW, a part of the game with a strict point of being about 80% PvP (yes, I know there are the PvE objectives in the maps).

They also took them out as some toys allowed people to travel faster than they otherwise would be able to and iirc, the tunneling tools allowed users to drop their nameplates down so they could hide behind rocks or other map feature.

I thought they took them out because I used to put fake cannons on towers and keeps to scare people away.

So, am I the only one who wants toys enabled in WvW for fun?

lol

If costume brawl made a return to WvW I’m sure SoS would still use brawl cannons.

It would be fun to see zerg vs zerg in brawls though. That by itself would draw in a large crowd and revive the usage of all those Boxes of Fun collecting dust in storage. That custom scythe ability would be OP and new meta.

No. But they used to be useable in WvW and were taken out because people were able to use some of them to gain an advantage. For that reason they won’t be put back in.

Executioner’s outfit Axe broken/OP in WvW

Thank you for the answers. It seems toys are not good in WvW.

There could be added an exception limited only by the border waypoint area, but this will require too much effort in programming and scripting, and I am confident ArenaNet will never do it.

You never could hit the other side with your costume brawl it was “friendly” fire only.

Back in the day you could use all items in wvw it was broken as could be mez with endless stealth hiding in keeps full zergs with endless stun items. Some time K.I.S.S. is the best way of going about things it may take some flavor away from a game but it makes things more enjoyable in the long run.
