Full servers, Outmanned Buff in every map.
How is this happening? What is so exciting about grinding cursed shore or dungeons for hours as opposed to WvW?

Asked this in the WvW forums, but it was pointed out that’s not the best place for this question.

Honestly though, why do you not WvW? This game is going to lose it’s wvw population to Planetside2 or some other persistent pvp game, and I want to perhaps shed some light on this problem.

Why are so many people on full servers avoiding wvw?

Because it doesn’t give me joy winning in WvW just because my server has the higher numbers, there is no skill involved and it doesn’t mather how good you play, the more numerous faction is always gonna win. So there is no point in dooing WvW.

Not saying this is the case for everybody, but I imagine for many players story-based PvE and Dungeons are more fun than any form of PvP.

It’s simply a matter of personal preference.

I use to WvW a lot but when you are in a guild and they want you to defend constatly, instead of earning Karma. Not that I do not mind defending. But if you get steamrolled from trying to defend you are basicly going into WvW to waste coin on repairs constantly, and siege equipment that gets destroyed. It is basicly a faster way to throw coin out the window. Not worth it anymore. Nor the coin wasting.

I don’t WvW much because:
(a) Takes forever to run from the spawn point to the action. Too much downtime before I get to have fun.
(b) Things are rarely balanced at the macro level. Too often we either control the entire map or we control none of the map and are penned up at our spawn point. Either way, not fun.
© Things are rarely balanced at the micro level. Either I’m part of a huge zerg and everything’s already dead before I get to it, or I’m on my own and I get hunted and killed by the first enemy to spot me.
(d) I’ve done it already. Same reason I don’t go back and replay the zones I’ve finished much – I’ve seen the content and moved on.
(e) No recognition of personal effort. I pull out my big AoEs and things die – but everyone else was doing the same thing. Was my AoE helpful? Or did I miss entirely? Am I just sitting here being useless? How would I know?
(f) Costs of being relevant are too high. I don’t want to spend my silver buffing outposts or buying siege plans when we’re just going to lose all the terrain again overnight. I have better things to do with that silver that I’ll see the benefit of personally.
(g) The map’s confusing. The shortest path from a spawn point to the action is rarely a straight line – there are cliffs and bridges and water and falling damage and gates and it’s just a pain trying to actually find the battles and take part in them.
(h) PvP players are the worst. They’re exactly the people I’d least choose to hang out with of my own accord.

Nailed it on every point, for me(Except maybe the last one). This guy gets it.

I like WvW. I was a -huge- advocate and fan of Warhammer Online when it was going strong and WvW in GW2 is as close as any game has gotten to capturing that feeling for me since Warhammer Online, but it honestly feels much less refined for me. If you asked me what my big problem with GW2 WvW is I couldn’t tell you, because there is no big problem. Just far too many small, annoying problems that turns most people I know off from it.

If I could add to that list, I would say I can’t fathom why people spend large amounts of time -and- resources on it, because all it takes is one evening of no one particularly coordinated logging on and everything is gone.

SPVP at least has the rankings and such that give me some form of feeling of achievement even if I lose match after match.

My answer might differ slightly, because I’ve only had the game for about a week or so.

There’s no direction. To be honest, I stumbled upon the WvW screen and thought, “oh, that- cool. Let’s check it out.” I get ported to an area, and that’s that. I have no idea what’s going on next. Okay, let’s run through one of these Asura Gates and see what happens… 30 seconds later, I’m dead, because I walked into some place (I have no clue where) and ran around aimlessly until I was slaughtered by a small band of players.

There’s no real introduction to WvW. I feel like because I missed the beta for GW2, I’ve somehow missed out on understanding this entire aspect of play. I don’t know what the objectives are, how the score is kept, what the cost is, what the point is.

Maybe I missed something glaringly obvious, but I think that’s the biggest issue for me: If I can’t see the point to doing WvW, then why would I do it?

That would be an improvement but (for me) it’s just tinkering around the edges. It’s that time it takes to get to the battle, and then get back to it after you die, that’s the killer.

I realise the time’s there for balance reasons but there should at least be a minigame or something I can do while I’m jogging.

I’d also like to add to my list above:
(i) No closure. There’s no in-game notification of who won the weekly match up – no congratulation mail to players who helped win, no suggestions for improvement to players who sucked. I like this style of play, but I like it in discrete units. It needs either shorter matches so I can stick around till they’re over, or a bigger fanfare when it finishes so I’ll get reminded of what I did to help two days later when I’m off PvEing somewhere.

I don’t understand Why Orr is full of waypoints that can become contested, but none of the important places in WvW have way points? I mean why can’t there be waypoints at each place accessible to you only when your side owns it. It really sucks having to run all over the map.

It’s a lot of running. It’s so annoying trying to get to the commander icon or combat icon, and then getting there and the action is over. Even when I do find a siege or something fun it usually turns out to be me casting meteor shower over and over.

I basically only go there to do my dailies when I need a change of pace and to get the wvwvw kills for the monthly achievement.

What would make you WvW more? How can Anet make WvW more desirable? It’s supposed to be casual friendly, and it appears that WvW participation is dropping with each week.

I would play WvW more if they restructured the map in such a way to encourage smaller team play.

As it stands, you basically run around in a huge zerg pack, spam AOES, dodge the bigger red circles, and dog-pile the enemies who are a little too slow it getting back behind their group line. There are no player-versus-player tactics involved, there is no real skill involved. It’s all about who has the most bodies to pile up. This just isn’t fun.

The only “small group” activities on the field are boring. Escort the Dolyak, clear out the centaurs, kill the krait, etc etc. The most fun I ever had in WvW was when I was soloing the krait in the central lake to finish the quaggan event, and somebody from one of the other servers saw we were going to win the event, and came to stop me. That 1v1 underwater battle expanded into 2v2, then 3v3. In the end, there were about ten of us fighting each other and the krait at the same time, trying to win the event, while keeping our enemies from doing so at the same time.

If there were more events that could be done with small groups, and they actually made an impact on the map, we’d see a lot more small-group skirmishes, instead of just three giant zergs running across the map, trying to dog-pile each other to death.

I try to. But my server seems to only do good at WvW late at night/early morning. And either way we lose about every week, except maybe one week out of a month, and usually pretty outnumbered in every case.

That said, the real turnoff for me is how long it takes to get around the maps usually, by the time I get to the combat its either already won or lost >.<; and the cost of dying (aka repair bill), I just don’t like wasting money in a situation where I am obviously going to die a lot, its hard not to expect a lot of deaths in a pvp environment.

Problem for me basically lies in the structure of the fight, in that instead of feeling like you are in an endless war with the same enemies, you know you are essentially just in a points based match that leads to one team winning at the end of the round and then a new anonymous enemy being plucked out of nowhere.

I really hate to become one of those people who always bring up DAoC, since they annoy me even as an ex player, but the system there just made me want to fight more. Having a constant enemy created more of an adversarial feeling, as ultimately you would begin to get to know and recognize the people you were fighting. This also helped to deal with many of the issues people have here with Guild Wars, groups are much less likely to gank soloers when their names will be remembered and the community can dish out some kind of punishment (like their own team not helping them in future or something). When people did behave in a way that pissed people off? Great, we all got a pantomime villain, since you would encounter them regularly. A persistent battle would definitely interest me more.

Also on an unrelated note it really felt like the emphasis on points got in the way of fun, most groups are much more interested in empty towers and camps than actual pvp. Technically the better option for winning of course, which is all anyone seemed to care about, but not really for me. Take away the points aspect and people will prioritize having a laugh more than what is more likely to secure victory.

Having said all this, i’ll soon be logging on for some WvWvW, as I will probably for a long time to come, it’s still the best form of mmo pvp out there now.

I’ve been very disappointed in WvWvW in comparison to GW1 Alliance Battles or WAR’s PvP instances. In Alliance Battles, numbers were/are equal (except for Luxon MM swarms), in WvWvW they never seem to be, and the more numerous server has the orbs, so it’s an uphill battle that you really can only win if your side gets numerical superiority, which isn’t going to happen.

Ow, also add to the list:

Repair costs are too high. People are taking no risks because they have to pay hefty repair bills to repair their exotics. Last night me and 1 other guy reported a supply camp being under attack by 4 characters. 3 ppl showed up, I assumed to help kill the attackers. But no, those 3 just stood there watching while me and that other guy attacked and got killed. How is 5 versus 4 a risk? I suggest removing repair costs from WvWvW because some ppl will never grow a spine.

Yes, it does improve a lot if you have a few competent commanders. It’s actually fun when there are some people who know what they are doing and why they are doing it.

The thing I don’t like about WvW is the fights for those keeps. I find it boring and tedious. If I go in (which isn’t too often), I prefer going for supply posts and the wandering foe instead of “laying siege” to a fortress. The only thing I can hit is that gate and that doesn’t really help….

What turns me down from WvW is the fact that you die like nothing and armor repair is costly. But its not a biggy, I mostly didn’t feel like WvW, I do more sPvP. Yes, because sPvP costs me nothing but some time.

Mesmer portals are stupid powerful for WvW. You can literally move an entire server of WvW players to wherever in an instant. With a mesmer at each front you could have your entire server just sit in your home camp wait for them to call an inc and have 190+ people show up in an instant to stomp them and be back to the home camp ready to portal wherever else they’re needed.

1) Zergs were too effective. Far too frequently it was a simple case of “smash the door down with an overwhelming amount of warm bodies”. There wasn’t much strategy involved.

2) The rewards in the end wern’t worth it. After fighting super hard for a week and finally winning it what’s the reward?… oh… there isn’t. You’re just meant to be happy with your repair bills some random greens and a sense of satisfaction.

…so, yeah. I won’t be spending much time in WvW from now on.

For me, it’s a general lack of interest in PvP in general. I PvP’d heavily in Everquest and WoW; it (PvP) simply no longer brings anything captivating to the table when it comes to gameplay. I find nothing challenging about killing other players enmasse and I honestly could care less about the world bonuses. I may do sPvP or if they do true Guild vs. Guild I may do that but WvW I’m only going to end up doing for map completion. Conversely, I love the heck out of the PvE and am quite content with that.

Because it is lazy design “lets get a bunch of players in the same map, stick some forts in and let them go”

That many players in a game designed around party’s of 5? Nice one guys.

Framerate drops and no single person contributes a significant amount.

I say bring back GW1 Alliance Battles, 3 teams of 5 v 3 teams of 5 capturing points on an appropriately sized map. If you win you win points for your world. Or some fort aspenwood type gamemode, where one team defends a fort while the other attacks.

I find it weird how they made the above, and they were a step in a really fun and interesting direction. Then try and plug this WvW rubbish.

I only enter WvW for the monthly, and that is it. I think all of the issues have been covered already… But for me, the main ones are:

Travel times: Getting back into the fight after dying takes forever. I get that it’s necessary in order to make defense possible… but it doesn’t mean it’s fun. Especially when you spend 5 minutes running back, and then die to an invisible swarm and have to do it all over again.

Rewards: I feel I never get rewarded for the time I put into it. This may just be a side effect of me being bad or playing a class that cannot tag enemies fast enough in a zerg.
