Guild Wars 2

I will be updating this list to reflect the the improvement’s wanted from the development team.

This is a constructive thread, so feel free too add a sentence or 2 for reasons of the improvement.

1. More GW 1 pvp content integrated into GW 2
2. Ladder system (GvG Ladder and Individual Ladder)
3. Introduce random map or chance to vote any map.
4. Solo/duo queue in a tournament. Premade queue in another tournament . Solo/duo rating and team premade rating separated
5. Solve 3-4vs5 people problem. Add a chance to replace a team mate before the match starts.
6. Re-work hot-joins. Eliminate 8vs8. Less reward compared to tournament format (but in general, rewards have to be better).
7. Daily / Monthly Tournaments
8. Reworking the Reward-system*
9. Reworking the Rank-Progression: Means you grinding faster while playing hot-join (where no skill etc is needed), where playing tournament brings you a useless chest)
10. Get Hall of Heroes back
11. Get Guild Vs Guild back (IS this Guild Wars?)
12. Bring in game observer mode for the last map instead of twitch.
13. Bring the Ghostly Hero back
14. Bring Hall of Heroes winner broadcast.
15. Bring back guild capes (Optional To Wear)
16. Buff the HP for all classes equally for “Death Match Mode” like up to 100K HP if necessary.
17. Each battle could give you a small amount of xp along with glory for each battle. Xp could be earned for reaching a certain score each match.

During the last SOTG one of the Jons said “just because another game might have a lot of infrastructure set up for something, that doesn’t mean that we could just have it.”

I would like to know why GW1 is included in the list of games from which GW2 cannot borrow code / art / etc. Honestly, it would probably explain a lot.

I do agree it would be nice to have all of this content. Please list a few of your most wanted features and I wil ad it to the list.

The devs love this format for advise, so please take some time and play along.

Lets work together fill this list with 50+ great improvements!

The reason we’re not getting new content / features isn’t because the devs don’t know / don’t care.

However, my favorite suggestion that I saw on here was making it so that you could make a roster (and enter a tournament) from anywhere in the game – probably through the pvp tab. Talking to NPCs is annoying and not obvious enough for newcomers.

I would also trade the current minimap for an actual radar in a heartbeat, even if it didn’t grant zoom / dragging in pvp.

A better match making system like League of legends has that seperates solo/duo and team.

Clean up the mess that is the professions. If needed give SPVP its own traits etc and completely segregate it from the rest of the game for better development.

And finally, make changes based on what would make combat more FUN. non of this “sit back and let a meta form to design around” no…just no. Meta can a lot of times mean doing what is incredibly boring and opposite of what you want to do…because it (due to bad development) turns out to be the BEST thing to do. This will be easier to do once you segregate the spvp from the rest of the game.

1) Ladder system

2) Convert 3 round tournament in 1-round tournament. Introduce random map or chance to vote any map. Solo/duo queue in a tournament 1vs1. Premade queue in another tournament 1vs1. Solo/duo rating and team premade rating separated. Better in-game tools to make a party.

3) Solve 3-4vs5 people problem. Add a chance to replace a team mate before the match starts.

4) Re-work hot-joins. Eliminate 8vs8. Less reward compared to tournament format (but in general, rewards have to be better).

Hot-join needs to be the first step for a new player in pvp, they needs to be a place in which people can do practice without big efforts, hot-joins need to introduce new players to conquest mode. After that, player needs to go with solo/duo mode (better rewards), he understands how play a tournament and a conquest mode correctly with good people like him (mmr balances this), he meets other good people like him (mmr balances this) and after that they can try to make a party for a premade based tournament (super rewards). It would be fun a daily/weekly/monthly tournament between best teams in team rating.

I think this would be a great flow for a player who doesn’t have a party and he is new in gw2 pvp.

1) Heart of the Mists: Combine all the stand-alone servers together to make the LFG-function some sort of viable. Also this would stop splitting the allrdy little population into little groups.

2) Daily / Monthly Tournaments

3) Reworking the Reward-system

4) Reworking the Rank-Progression: Means you grinding faster while playing hot-join (where no skill etc is needed), where playing tournament brings you a useless chest)

1- Get Hall of Heroes back
2- Centalize PVP
3- Get Guild Vs Guild back (IS this Guild Wars?)
4- Bring in game observer mode for the last map instead of twitch.
5- Bring the Ghostly Hero back
6- Bring Hall of Heroes winner broadcast.
7- Bring back guild capes (Optional To Wear)
8- Buff the HP for all classes equally for “Death Match Mode” like up to 100K HP if necessary.
9- Bring GvG Ladder and Individual Ladder.

Just bring Guild Wars 1 PVP is not that hard.

Great job on starting the list. Lets make it bigger. No improvement is too small.

Add minor experience gains to pvp outside of WvWvW , each battle could give you a small amount of xp along with glory for each battle. Xp could be earned for reaching a certian score each match.

I like to think I will be playing this games for years. Just and the GW 1 players that play now. Its fun for me to think that they played GW for 7-8 years.. I hope the same for this game.

One thing that could help them and help us is if they gave us something to spend our money one. Like glory or gems to get a PvP legendary. and make it cost like $30 in gems. If your like me you wouldn’t mind giving them more money for direct results.

This won’t happen because:

-pvpers are elitist and typically look down on pvers
-legendaries are supposed to be the ultimate status / farm symbol for pvers
-if you put a pricetag on the legendary (even if it’s just for pvp) then the pvers would get sad / mad
