Scrapper: “Frank from Research”

Clearly not enough PvP developers
Why does arenanet think that the pvpers would not buy special skins for cash if it would allow them to be used in pvp (similiar to what some already did with some of the pve skins like the grinning shield)?
Just add a ton of new skins in the shop and pvpers will buy it, look at league of legends for example.
Crs Helseth, Mesmer for Team Curse
What Helseth said. I know lots of people who never played p2p games coz of monthly fees, but happily threw 20-30€ a month for some cool skins in f2p games.

^ I don’t think that’s the problem.
They’re not making a lot of costumes in general even for their gem store.
Presumably because the different races make development time on that front longer.
So even if they wanted us to buy more skins, it takes them more time to make em then it did say GW1.
The great forum duppy.
Conversation overheard meeting between Anet and NCSoft at corporate headquarters
NC: Quarterry profits are up. We want to focusu on Geeild Warsu Two as ourr beeggest furanchise
Anet: For this month we will be focusing on updating mostly SPVP changes. Many players are threatening to quit and the SPVP dev team really needs resources.
NC: We wanting to rerease new pinku quaggan backupacku so you can sell.
Anet: Ok we can easily do that. But first here are my proposed plans for SPVP revamping.
NC: Prreeaese move your programmers to fixing the bugs on the Fractals dungeon and wee want you to rereeease another tier of armor on the gem storu.
Anet: SPVP needs…
NC: esupvp (SPVP…) we can talk about later. Right now we wanting add more items to gem store.

That’s a good idea. Do something to increase the funds for PvP development.

I agree and it doesn’t take a backround like yours (OP) to see that pve is the focus of this game. Pvp will never get the attention it needs at this rate, I figured even wvw would get more love.

they’re korean, not japanese.
Kinda been suggesting this from the beginning. It seems like money isnt being allocated to gw2 spvp…they’re simply splitting the resources between a massive mmo, a wvwvw game, and a completely seperate E-sport game. The team is too small to get an e-sport going, and held by too many corperate chains…. Its sad to see a great idea never come to fruition, but HOPEFULLY other more capable game companys are watching and reading the feedback and learning from gw2, so perhaps the next games coming out wont make the same mistakes.
Personally, i think they shoulda just went with one game type instead of splitting themselves so thin.. They shoulda just released a game called “guild wars: heart of the mists” as a stand-alone title. But oh well.

It’s obvious that this game, no matter what the nationality of the owners are, don’t care one whit about spvp OR WvW.
American’s want one thing…. a great end game after slogging through “the game” – complete with social interaction and DEVELOPER PLAYERS WHO ARE ON EVERY SERVER AND SEE FIRST HAND WHAT IS NOT BEING DONE!

I completely agree. The Spvp team does seem to consist of about 4 Guys, which is clearly not enough.
All the hating, all the flaming on this forum actually boils down to the point that stuff just ain’t happenin . So, yeah, it’s a ressource problem.
And this is the part where i feel like quitting the game. Because no matter how hard I try, no matter how hard I personally contact the dev’s, I will never be able to get Arenanet to change their layout in ressources. It’s depressing.

Wvw love? Are you kidding me? Read the wvw forum page, there’s probably just as much QQ threads around. I can’t even remember the last update they did in wvw except to remove orbs a few months ago, and then to remove all the pve environmental weapons. Simple exploits such as jumping right through towers/keeps took them FOREVER to fix.
The “big wvw patch” is apparently coming out next month, but I fully expect this to happen: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/GUYS-NEXT-PATCH/first#post1525176

I’m also a software developper and I’m pretty much agreed with you.
But think about one thing: the QP ladder was supposed to be integrated in game (“This method of displaying the QP’s is temporary until the full system comes online.”). Be honest with me, how long does it take to code it given the fact that they already gather the variable values in order to paste them on the forums? You and me know that it takes less than one day…
The same goes for the new matchmaking rating system. They haven’t implemented the new leaderboard yet.
The same goes for the observer mode and the private match systems, which can be developped in less than 2 months.

It’s a social experiment at this point.
Great post. It’s good people are starting to realize what the real problem is. The devs are on our side. Complaining to them doesn’t help us one bit. I’ve been saying this for MONTHS. The only way for pvp to get the features we need is for anet to devise a way to make money from it. Until they start making money from pvp it will not be a priority. End of story.

Question for programmers: How long do you think it takes to make 1 (ONE) map and import it in this game? At this rate i’m wondering will we see more then 10 maps.
