Guild Wars 2

Almost a month has passed since we got any pvp related news in that pvp-chat gw2guru organized:

It was talked that awesome stuff was coming with 2013 and that some of the improvements were already working internally in anet offices. However the thing is that since then there hasn’t been any words about pvp.

So far the combat mechanics and gameplay are great and the pvp is pretty well balanced (with very few exceptions) but the game lacks the content to engage the pvp playerbase. This fact is obvious during christmas holidays when players have plenty of time and you find them jumping around in the heart of the mists.

Hopefully Jonathan Sharp will notice this thread and maybe refill the hype one more time.

edit. I also wanted to know what’s the general opinion on the tpvp tickets system. Right now only 2/8 teams that queue for a paid will get enough gems to supply the loss of tickets used to join the tournament, and 90% of the time those teams are the same ones. With a system like that it’s impossible to have different paid tournaments going on at the same time, because 6/8 teams (75%) will have to farm from 3 to 5 free tournaments to play just 1 paid tournament.

Merry Christmas everyone,

“Some huge things in the work, can’t say too much or we’ll ruin the surprise…” also, “if it takes far too long to implement and people leave the game we’re not concerned, because once we start advertising…WOW makes large circlular motions with hands everyone and then some will come to play”

That’s pretty much it, Merry Christmas…

Those things definitely need fixing, but on the other hand—it’s Christmas, the devs should be home taking a few days off.

I think after new year we’ll be getting some updates on the upcoming patches.
