Guild Wars 2

Aren’t the living story teams composed of like 5 people?

Take one of those groups. Assign them as the PvP team. Every problem PvP has aside from balance? Solved within a month because there’s people working on stuff, since ANet doesn’t have a PvP team.

BAM!

Yeah! Give pvp balancing over to the people who know nothing about pvp or balancing!

So kinda like now? <3

It was announced at PAX that the living story team is approximately 70 people. Albeit not all of them are developers. There is separate teams also mentioned that handle specific parts of the game.( Such as merchandise etc) The only mention of spvp I’ve heard is that there is 2 + people associated that aren’t developers.

PvE/Living story=70+ separate unts
PvP= 2. + community manager/lead designer etc

In a recorded pre release interview it was stated PvE and PvP were both developed at the same time and in parallel with each other. If we look at the PvE world and the PvP world..well, yeah…..the difference is huge. For a long time it was stated that gw2 would be ready when it is ready, yet the quiet statement now is that upon release there were aspects that were left unfinished, or unpolished with those objectives to be reviewed once the game had launched.

Pvp being a non money making aspect means that it will never really take number one priority. I can understand this, even if history shows that Pvper’s tend to the players that stick round in a game longer than your casual gamer which gw2 is aimed at. It is one of those, “Go-figure” moments.

Just think of sPVP as a side hobby project they work on whenever they have spare time.

Are you incompetent? I said aside from PvP balance.

I was talking features.

I don’t think he can read aha. But yes, it’d be nice to have more support. Heck make pvp open source, I bet a lot of free lancer programmers can do a better job than Anet’s team atm.
