My question is very simple. I would like to know if we can expect some big additions in WvW and PvP?

Not that I don’t like PVE but it is the only thing that is given new content. With each expansion, with each living season, there have been added maps, new mechanics, new achievements, events, new items.

The only addition WvW and PvP will get, again, are the new elite spec. They don’t change the objective, only provide some fresh gameplay to each profession. It is like walking in the same cafe for 5 years but with different clothes.

How about an additional map and different game modes? How about capture the flag in PVP? Maybe something else? The current state of PvP is awful. Because it doesn’t have new content for so much time players are getting less each season and because of this, the matchmaking system doesn’t work good also. If you check the PvP section of the forum, 50% of the topics are complaining about the awful matchmaking. Adding new maps, new game objectives will attract more people for sure.

The WvW has turned into a PIP-farm-semi-afk game. It is not fun at all. Don’t change this if you want – I personally do not care. BUT for those that want to play it – make a game mode with something like PLANS to complete specific objectives, chain of them, in a specific time frame and be rewarded with something that will attract more people to do it. This was just an example but why don’t you provoke players to be ACTIVE players a little more? Maybe it is risky to add something innovative but you have to think about a way to attract more people in the battlegrounds and not only to stay there afk for rewards but also to be “quality” players, which help getting more points. How about adding 2nd layer map above these, something similar to Verdant Brink? With the introduction of the gliders in WvW this can be done. How about 3rd layer – underground – we already have a dredge mine and some things popping out from the ground anyway.

All these are just suggestions but please, PLEASE… Add something BIG, different, to WvW and PvP.

P.S speaking softly I would link all servers to make them 2 times less and increase the capacity to 120-150 of each server. Will make the fights more intense speaking softly

Not going to respond to the rest. But are you referencing to doubling the size of each link ? Theoretically Blackgate + Maguma into one link ? And then increasing the Map cap limits from 80-100 somewhere to 120-150 per map ?

Considering the maps struggle already at 80-100, SMC 3 way fights barely lest you use skill 1 etc, I don’t have the slightest clue how that would work with 150…. game standing still for 5 minutes and just kicking everyone out ? repeatedly ?

And considering we already got queue’s in weekends in prime time, I really can’t see any compelling argument for increasing the size of the links.

Don’t really care about this. My main point to start the thread is different and this was added as an additional comment. Bigger map (aka 2-3 layers) would suggest for a higher population. Now I am not familiar but if it is a hardware issue it can be fixed to support more people. Also, I am not saying which server to which to be linked as there are very competent people which can decide this. I am just saying that linking them like this will make the servers more populated in each battle 24/7.

And my main point of the thread was a request for a change in WvW or PvP, not to suggest the changes myself.

Ok, in that case move along. Not much point for me to try explaining then.

Increasing the pop cap would increase lag and strongly favour larger servers. I do not consider that a good plan. I don’t know what you’re doing in wvw, but my guild still raids daily and have lots of fun.

Devs have said that wvw is on its own release schedule, so don’t expect anything with the xpac.

If you like it, stay in the same hole from which everyone is complaining.

I don’t like how things are starting to look and I suggest a change.

You guys seem to talk like everything with PvP and WvW is fine.

I don’t agree with this, and if you are going to chum and burn me for my P.S just forget about it and concentrate on the main point of the thread which is a general addition in PvP and WvW.
