Guild Wars 2

Is it really necessary to have bi-weekly living story content, when wvw has seen no content for nearly a year?

Can’t we at least stop ignoring all changes made to WvW before making posts like this?
System and feature-wise WvW have gotten LOADS of stuff since release, but people seems to ignore this because it is not new maps.

Yes, considering WvW is not the staple of GW2

And how convenient that you forget the quality of life improvements such as the scoreboard, the end of WvW culling.

And how about the content changes? Mastery lines (big deal)? Traps? Ranks? Rewards?

Did you forget about all of those or did you choose to ignore it to try and make a better point?

I think people really just want a new map in WvW, I cant blame them as that would be a huge change. They will all cry thakittens worse than the old map even if it isnt.

WvW got some QoL improvements and some things that it desperately needed but it does need some new mechanics or an entirely new map in rotation. To say it got nothing is unfair but it certainly isnt the focus of dev time.

Also, SPvP and WvW “hardcore” players have the worst attitudes of all time, this probably makes developing content for them a total chore because they gripe no matter what the change is.

Saw a red post on this a while back. Basically adding a new WvW map takes months of work, and they’re working on one now, but itll be longer than theyd like

They said they were working on bigger things for WvW. Different teams are working on different parts of the game. It would be wrong for them to take people away from sPvP or PvE features to work on WvW just as it would be for them to take people off WvW to work on other projects.

My guess is the WvW development work takes more time and work to create and test, hence why its taking time. It might not be much but at least it hasnt been forgotten completely. They have been bringing out new WvW masteries and the champion loot change will apply to WvW too.
