Guild Wars 2

Hello all, as a loving spvp ranger who probably could own all of you in a 1v1 im here to spread my two cents on how to actually make spvp even more enjoyable then it is now THUS bringing in more players from pve where most of the noobs “cough” players are.

1. RANKING SYSTEM/ Tournaments:THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES. For example if free tournies were ranked we can know offer players a chance to gain say 1 laurel for every 7 first place free tourney wins….only twice a day tho for balance issues. Hell, give me a karma booster for 5 wins and I’d be happy. Things like this will get a lot of players from pve joining.

2. DAILIES/MONTHLIES——OK so this seriously needs to be worked on. I can finish my monthly in literally 4 hours…something is not right with that anet. Make monthlies more harder and more rewarding like in pve.

3. REWARDS—; I honestly think the rewards in spvp are ok. The only thing I would really suggest is stop making spvp so much separate from pve I mean can I get a karma booster or something every 10th rank instead of a glory booster? I love how you gain increased bags as your rank goes up but to all the pve players whats the motive in just playing spvp for bags? I play spvp for fun of course but a lot of the population in guild wars 2 don’t find things fun when they are not rewarded.

4. GAME MODES—-An obvious one is new maps and new game play modes. Obviously Anet is creating new gameplay modes at the moment and will probably come into affect as soon as we “mastered the conquest game type”. THE THING IS I honestly think most players grasped conquest game mode and mastered it…cmon anet at least give us a time frame for new game types its been about half a year since release already…

CONCLUSION: Ok Anet we all know Spvp is not where all the money is generated in your cash shop and thus you put it off to the side more often then PVE…thats fine but think of the possibilities you can get if you do get more players joining in pvp.

Think about it….spvp offers a quick way to have fun in guild wars 2 and that is very nice to have especially to casual players like me who don’t have time to do a fotm or dungeon except on weekends. More fun = more time spent on the game = more money spent on cash shop.

TBH, I’m not into capturing points. What I enjoyed most is hardcore free for all and team death match. There is no down state in these mode to make the game pace faster. Someone mention how the name is Guild Wars 2 but there is no guild vs guild contents at all. The name is misleading to buyers and ruin the game image to me.

BUT hardcore GW2 fans will reply back “Then go play a different mmorpg like WoW” where you can raid with your guilds and etc.

I can some it up much better in less words for you , for the lazy people

1. More game types
2. Ladder/in game rankings
3. Observe Mode
4. Monthlies

Good points. We absolutely need more game types and maps. If there will be a deathmatch/team death match type mode, I also hope they will add a mode with rounds (like counter-strike). The more modes, the better.

Popular for whom? for people who have no problem with paying for/grinding entry fee to play paid tournaments game is already popular.Thats the way a-net likes it and thats the way its going to stay, they have done absolutely nothing to attract new/casual/solo players to pvp ( like add new game modes for example) and nothing like that is planned for the near future.

There should be some way for pvprs to display their accomplishments to others. So if I am doing a dungeon run and I look over at another player I can think huh that guy is in the top 10% of pvprs. Im not talking about the spvp ranks now. Even I ground to the first rank just by putting in time and sucking bad. Something that shows skill so a ranking system like the op mentioned. Either distintive skins or a rank like private sergent captain general ect.

Exactly! We need a way to display our accomplishments not with just the /rank emote more rewards should be implanted for spvp and in a way that won’t ruin cash shop(income for anet) and or pve….There are numerous possibilities.

Definitely on the rewards point… Nothing to really spend glory on really… I open chests salvage throw into the Mystic Toilet…. get the same skin…. I kind of wish there was something like the Zaishen Chest/Zaishen key like in Guild Wars 1. I wonder if they’re hellbent in separating PvP rewards from PvE?

If you play pvp for an hour every day for 5 consecutive days, ANet sends you a mountain bike made of diamonds. My idea is immediately better than yours.

New modes other than capture the point would be perfect.

I definitely do not want PVE rewards in sPvP, with the exception of awarding laurels for the daily.

Completely agree. I love PvP, but I would like to have simple rewards at least (not just bags). Unique pets, civil clothes maybe etc.

New Modes
Observe Mode
Custom Tournaments
Rewards need to have some value outside of Spvp
Ladders
Variable Team sizes

Yeah, without a question new modes are needed.

One thing im dissapointed about however is that there is no deathmatch mode.
I would love if there was tournaments that were deathmatch.
3vs3, 5vs5 etc, TO THE DEATH!
That would for example require alot more people to go support in pvp.

Right simple things can go a long way nobodys asking anet to reward us with exotics or things like that for spvp. Simple increases to rewards and new game play modes are my main concerns as those 2 factors can drastically improve the community.
