Guild Wars 2

Between the lack of interest, lack of confidence, and lack of reward is Spvp too far gone to be brought to the level of “E-Sport”? Will changes in meta be enough, game modes, and rewards be enough to bring the rest of the population here?

Well I think the game is too late to “change” enough to “fix” it. But that doesn’t stop it from being fun with what we have, as long as balance changes still come. Rewards are already being looked at, same with play modes, so that’s just a dead horse waiting to be resurrected, no sense of beating it anymore for now.

I do not mean in the sense that balance changes couldn’t be done or game modes added or that the product is impossible to fix. I mean is the credibility of Spvp so damaged that even if it were to be elevated to the apex of what it could be would it still be empty due to the damage already done?

kitten conquest. That is all.

I agree with this.

As for the image of the game, I doubt it. I don’t think its that bad as is. And it has a good ground work to make a good come back. I still enjoy GW2 pvp I just hate conquest. 2v2s would just… make my life.

Doesn’t scare me. I’m from Petting Zoo. MM+Spirit ranger. I’m a nightmare myself. :P Its fun though!

Nah it’s pretty fun actually.

It is all about conquest and balancing pvp for it and that might waste alot potential.
If pvp is ever going to evolve and improve, it is going to be through NEW game modes which will PROMOTE the need for new builds, traits, weapons, settings, tactics, etc to ARISE!
Really, conquest isn’t bad at all but playing conquest and conquest only through out the year is just not fun for many people and most importantly not healthy for GW2 at all! GW2 pvp needs more VARIETY more so than balance!!!

The year is almost over and promises of new builds traits weapons etc are not as important as another game mode! If you can’t adapt a single new game mode in GW2 pvp for so long then you might as well copy from crappy over re-skinned Call of Duty! I haven’t played GW1 so I can’t compare GW2’s pvp to it.

The game needs a new flavor otherwise it will grow dull and this game has alot of good potential that it would be a real shame to waste!

Can’t our devs develop a new game mode in a realistic time frame? Is it not a priority? I doubt we’ll ever know for sure but I’d just like to voice my concerns here.

I have always thought spvp was a lot of fun, it just gets boring doing conquest all the time.

In terms of making it an “esport”; I think it was a fairly ambitious to try and make conquest into an esport as opposed to taking an existing popular esport game type, like MOBA, and making a GW version of it.

Conquest doesn’t seem to have captured players’ imagination in terms of an esport and I’m not sure that any balance changes or new maps will alter that.

Can they come up with a new game mode that will catch on as an esport? Or is it better to just make some fun new game modes and not worry too much about the esports part?

Fix leaderboards, fix MatchMaking, fix OP builds, tone down extreme condi/power/support specs, give everyone celestial, fix broken weaponsets and then give us tdm, ctf,… Mainwhile adress rewards.

Biggest issue is getting people back, that’s why no more mistakes can be made and it has to happen fast. Those that are still here are people that believe in the game, they won’t be leaving unless Anet makes huge mistakes in the reward system(e.g. introduce even more RNG), balancing/fixing op builds/adressing build diversity takes another year or new game modes are designed poorly.

What could help would be bringing people from PvE to play more PvP so that the population rises. “The Community” is already doing this tbh… Streams, guilds, tutorials, tips. The seeds have been sown. Give them time to flower.

Also a nice idea would be merging the mists from several servers into 1-3 instances. More chit chat in the mists, more feedback for new players, more “pvp is alive” feeling

I dont think its broken, in fact, I think the combat is the best Ive ever seen in an mmo.

That said, conquest is getting boring. The amazing conbat still makes it kind of fun, but having more game modes would be perfect.

The pve population cares about ‘rewards’. Giving a little bit of money or qchievemnts should attract some…

Personally, I do pvp because the combat is always challenging, you just never know what kind of players you will find! Whereas dungeons in pve is always the same.

New gamemodes should focus alot of combat and mobility, inatead of bunkering in a circle and then spamming condis.

Even a 1v1 duel mode would be hugely appreciated :/.
