Guild Wars 2

So far I am really enjoying this game’s PvP. I keep telling myself I am going to level but I find myself queuing for SPvP over and over (rank 16 atm).

I do have a few criticisms so far but many of them will be fixed I’m sure (balance issues mainly).

1 — One thing I have noticed though is the zerging that goes on in pug SPvP. I have seen on many occasions where I have tried to get people to defend and have been told flat out that they are looking for glory and defending doesn’t provide it.

Suggestion: For every ten seconds that you are inside of your node that you currently own you get X amount of points (I know botters would benefit from this but just perma ban 100% of botters and that will knock it down).

2 — Also, when you dominate a team in SPvP often they leave and then an auto-balance happens. The player that gets auto-balanced to the other team is completely screwed. Can we add a feature that when it asks for volunteers, the person who volunteers first to go to the other team gets the “volunteer trophy” that gives them the same amount of extra glory that winning gives you? Problem solved.

Thanks all and I’ll see you game!

P.S: A heavy penalty for choosing to leave a match would also alleviate some of number 2’s issue. I use this one with caution however, because I don’t want to have the chance for being penalized for being kicked or dropped from a match. In the game’s infancy this is occurring more than I would like.

I think these are some great suggestions to probably some of the biggest issues currently taking away from the fun factor.

I definitely have other concerns as well, but they revolve more around simple balance/tweaking (like haste, confusion, retaliation, mesmers) I genuinely love this game and the PvP though. I see a lot of people commenting about wanting to leave already and I don’t see why. I know there are some things to be worked out but is it really THAT bad?

The other issue I have with the auto balance, is that all the points you’ve accumulated seem to go away.

I’ve had 200 pts on the scoreboard and got switched over near the end of the match. At the end the scoreboard will say i’ve only gotten 10pts.

When it auto balances, the points you have gotten for the other team should be added to the team you are now on, not taken from the team you were on, just added, to make it even more balanced.

Too many times do I get balanced over when im the highest scoring player and all my work goes to nothing because my new team needs to L2play

Agreed on most of the stuffs here except the penalty system.
