Guild Wars 2

I keep hearing that the philosophy Arena net hold is what is holding PvP back, that they believe anything to competitive between players will essentially spoil the community and segregate everyone.

*Such things they disagree upon are duelling as this may create bad sportsmanship.

*A real leaderboard as this will again promote the idea of ’ i’m better than you’.

*A real tier system to separate the beginners from the professionals as this will make.. beginners feel left out?

I’m sure there are plenty others but my point being they refrain from throwing everything into PvP because they want players to be nice to each other.
This is in fact true when it comes to PvE as this is where it matters most.

But no matter how you style out PvP it is PLAYER VERSUS PLAYER. The only way to control a players mind so they are behaved is by having a very minute player base which filters out the world of the ‘internet’ As long as there is anonymity with the internet people will be themselves and when they vent they will do so as they please, for right or for wrong.

Remember this Arena net you created WORLD V WORLD, you’ve create world war in an RPG.

The competitive scene is starving and we are in need of a better tier system to differentiate the good players from the bad, the serious from the casual. We need duelling for fun and to give players a place to train 1 v 1 while waiting for a game perhaps.

of course the new game mode stronghold may provide that diverse game mode we’re looking for, I know it got a bad rep to start with partially because it forced players to play unranked but also forced player who didn’t want to try it into ranked so it spoiled it for those. But I believe it was because players just didn’t know what to do most of the time so it was a cluster of headless chickens which is to be expected. Besides the point.

These are good additions to the game, I’m excited for it. But PvP needs to become more aggressive, we need players hungry to beat each other.

P.S maybe an option bar to control the particle effects. As for outsiders the game is very hard to read and just looks like a bunch of colours mashed up on screen.

Manual eagle eye camera points so commentators or spectators have a more accessible visual experience.
Free roam camera also. Couple nip picks that could help pick the game up for by standing viewers.

Puck I really feel sorry for you. Your passion is wasted on this game. The people who make it frankly don’t have the capacity to listen, acknowledge, or implement these ideas or build the culture you want.

It is sad that this game falls so short of achieving its potential, but eventually you’ll see that you’re banging your head against the wall and Anet will just disappoint you. That’s what they specialize in – disappointment.

There are greener pastures out there man.

Well someone has to fight for this game. An mmo is just a game without its player base. Maybe im fighting a loosing battle but until arena net tell me to go away or this game is dead ill be here.

Though what i can admit to is i feel like im talking to a diety who I have to BELIEVE in except this company is real yet i have never felt any presence of them. Still i fight on

OP I agree with everything but you’re gonna get banned from forum soon because you’re causing disturbance. PvP is suppose to be peaceful, mindnumbing experience that must make everyone happy by letting everyone win according to anet…
Your ban process will start with having your post sent to trash can, then later infractions, and after that perma ban.
I think your efforts will be better recognized and heard in other games. Maybe you should move on just like many other valuable players did and find success elsewhere, because this is a dead zone.

“Do remember there is a difference between individual intent and company policy.”

Why do I attract depression? I already got an infraction as I once said the word poo in a negative way avoiding their kitten overlay, however annoying as we are an adult community or so I’d like to believe is understandable. However, If I get banned I will then know where this game stands and where the company stands. I only have good intentions for this game.
But can I not get some constructive help other than hopeless words and Why are you still here if this is a dead zone?

I think the forum administrator or Arena net refrain from speaking on certain posts because they will get flamed and end up creating an argument. They can only post where they know they’re welcomed and not going to be piled.
I would personally like to have a 1 to 1 chat with them in a civilised manner addressing constructive positive points on improvements and their intentions on the game.

I sometimes feel we’re in the dark as we don’t know their way of thinking, their intentions or reasoning. We all have to make up our own ideas as to why certain things do not happen.
But I completely disagree with the notion that they do not care about their community, like I said, they have to avoid getting into debates or arguments as it will only create a zerg of flame towards them which will settle nowhere.
I will be on their side until they push me away as you have to understand I can’t simply just believe you just because you say so, your word is biased to your experience.
My posts will only get erased because all I ever get is negative responses telling to basically give up!

You got infracted for writing poo? Lol.

well no.. not poo… the other word that rhymes with sit flinch.

You’re getting it right. They are proud to develop the game with the friendliest community, they want to spread love and harmony in the game and for some reason they think promoting competitiveness with things like visual MMR, skill base leaderboards etc will destroy this ideal. They are not right, of course.

Anyway Puck, keep up your optimism, I’ll hate to see it smashed.
