Guild Wars 2

Just wanted to say to all the “GOOD” spvp players who got invited to the beta:
Make sure you give feedback about stronghold, don’t let the wvw kids who never play spvp give all the feedback.

I would do it if I was invited but I wasn’t

I am sure that if stronghold delivers and is in separate queue than many Spvp veterans will become active again.

It’s a short stress test, many other (and longer) events will come.

And more invites

im keen to see how op revenant is. my feedback will contain a request for separate ques, we will need them.

Feedback:

- The timer is really anti-hype. Most games end by timer which is really kitten.
- It also encourages full deffense once you are ahead on glory

Nothing bad about that. And timer is anti-hype? That actually depends on how close the two teams are points wise.

Yeah timer is great. That’s why all the other MOBA games use it!

Oh wait, none does.

Guild wars 2 isn’t a mobs, so there is that. Unlike Moba where the only thing you do is MP gw2 has other other modes. Then you got the issue with low pop which will make the queue really long. Finally, you the problem of people simply not acting because why bother and hoping the other team acts first.

Did you see the showcase match? That timer was very anti-hype.
In conquest it sometimes leads to some excitement but even then it’s not the best mechanic (imo)

It’s just a stress test, four hours total. Regardless I’m definitely looking forward to Tuesday.

Please no elitism. My limited experience with the solo queue in spvp says that the overall level of the players there are much weaker than found among the WvWvW roamers in top tiers of EU. Builds of course matter a lot and the amount of damage and duration of the conditions is completely out of the control in WvWvW. (the offensive power in spvp is clearly less).

The closed beta is very limited so far, allowing only to scratch the surface of the new features. I am personally most curious of the WvWvW changes, Stronghold and Revenant profession. It is great that Arenanet is doing beta testing like this!

If its worth anything to you I will be streaming my four hours at twitch.tv/pantheraplays

I do not believe there will be enough time to give more then an ok first impression of the content.

The timer had nothing to do with that. The situation the players are in determines the hype level.

what stronghold needs is VoD

I’ve gotten the chance to play it several times before both at the press event they had in Seattle and at Boston. So far my impressions of it have been petty good but it will be nice to sit down for 4 hours and actually play it in a comfortable environment. Assuming we do get to play it I’ll be streaming it on tues as well.
