Guild Wars 2

Updated with preliminary results, check my most recent post:

Survey: http://kwiksurveys.com/s.asp?sid=vmmtvay63yafvew80879

Following up on my last survey (Seen here https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Survey-Are-you-a-PvE-or-PvP-player/first ) I will be continuing with another that asks questions to probe in depth what factors of the game players enjoy most.

This first follow up will largely focus on what elements of PvE people enjoy, while my next follow up will focus on PvP elements of the game. Designing questions to discern PvP enjoyment is much more difficult because many different factors are at work

I will publish my first batch of results 1 week from now. Please share this survey on reddit/twitter/your guild/whatever so I can reach a broader audience.

Only 5 responses so far? I’d like a few more.

15 responses so far. I was able to get 1000 on my last survey, with 200 on the first day.

1 day left before I publish my results, which have been pretty limited so far.

Results after 2 weeks: http://kwiksurveys.com/tmp_pdf/report-2919978438914C2E8B185A5217D83DB5.pdf

The total number of respondents was slightly under 50, which is a good deal less than what I was hoping for. The survey is still active and you can continue to take it. However, general trends seem to have emerged. Here is my summary:

- Substantially more players enjoy the PvE components of this game than the PvP components
- Open World Exploration, Dynamic Events, and Dungeons are considered popular PvE components
- Dungeons, however, may be somewhat polarizing, as they also rank among the top 3 most disliked PvE components, along with the Personal Story and Crafting/Trading.

There is something wierd going on here. The answers in the two questions “What do you enjoy the most” and “What do you generally like” should corollate more. Right now they are wildly spread, especially when it comes to personal story. Trading and crafting seems okay, when you compare those two and if you add “What do you dislike the most” it further strengthens the weak parts of crafting and trading.

I think the “generally like” option would include many people whose feelings on various things are rather neutral. When parsed into enjoy the most/least, you get much stronger results.

I have a new question for your survey.

“Do you feel that PVP balance ruins your PVE gameplay?”

I’ve got a new update on the survey, with 91 responses.

If I can get ~1000 responses this would have a lot more validity.
