Guild Wars 2

So I would like to gather a bit of data on where people think the combat should be, looking more at the overall than specifics. The idea here will be to have a scale of 1-10 with 5 being where Gw2 is now and 1 being closer to the first option.

1) Team Defense vs Personal Defense
How in control of your own survivability would you like to be? Dodging and your own healing skills would be your own comparably to an elementalist healing you or the monks for Gw1 throwing up protective spirits and reversal of fortunes. Note that having it being team based allows the choice of which players should receive defensive resources whereas in personal that is not the case.

2) Victory dependence on: Combat Skill vs Skill in using Map Objectives
So should it be more about those kills in 1v1/2v2 etc situations or should it be about moving around the map to create favorable 3v2 etc types of situations.

3) View ability vs fast combat pace
Would you be willing to give up some of the combat pacing for better visual acuity?

4) Transparency vs Character Customization
Would you like more control over where your Power, Vitality etc is? Would you like to be more informed as to what your opponent has built for? Would you be willing to give up runes and sigils?

5) Resource Allocation Between: PvP vs PvE
Basically a gauge as to whether you are invested in both sides or prefer one more than the other.

Here is a link to a survey to answer these questions:

Dude… this survey is incoherent.
“How in control of your own survivability would you like to be?” Umm well about a number six worth! Or no, I think 3. Umm sec, what number would describe current ingame situation, nvm.

“Would you be willing to give up some of the combat pacing for better visual acuity?” Do I have to? So umm my answer is number five ! (?)

“Transparency vs Character Customization” My answer to this is number three! What ever that means, I will come back to you with specifics later!

I think I get what you are trying to say. Personally, I enjoy the current conquest mode. It involves personal skill (knowing your build and your opponent’s) and knowing where to be and how to act. So closest option would be both things in number two

5 represents the current state the game is in. I’ll add that to the survey as well for people that missed it in the main post. The idea is simply to see if the game is close to what people envision or far off.

So does 1 mean I want less of it and 10 mean I want it to be more like that? The survey isn’t well defined.
