Guild Wars 2

Hello!

I’m playing GW2 since begining, so soon it will be 5 years. Its quite long, right? And as i can see, there’s still no idea for PvP Mode in GW2.

In the early years we had test seasons, a leaderboards, which were on the site. There was alot of weak rewards (as llamas for being in the top etc, while right now llama is nothing – every1 got it). Thousands of titles which means nothing. Or some unnecessary items.

After years ArenaNet announced league system – something that everyone was really waiting for. First seasons was pretty good, but over time there was still something missing i guess. Anyway still not bad – there was hope, that this league system will be better and better. To attract more people to pvp. And make it more attractive.

While last season (IMO) looked like a total mistake. It completly reminded me 2013-2014 etc years… Regression. Same test “seasons” with leaderboards, and nothing special.
We couldnt even play 5v5 games O.o

Its almost 5 years of GW2. Its time, when we should get real, stable PvP system. Its not beta anymore. HoT was released year ago.

Solution:

There was some ESL leagues, right? Maybe go this way, and create something like this but in-game. Make ur own league. Let people win real money. Organize repeatable in-game tournaments.

And by the way let ppl still play those duo/solo or 5v5 games, to gain some rating, titles. Let their guild climb on the leaderboard etc.

Look at MOBA games – they can do it. So You should be able to do it too.
Cause ATM (IMO) PvP looks broken. Mechanics is not bad (still not that good to watch as MOBA games, but fun to play). But system is horrible.

What question is this?! Everybody figured it out except you? PvP is a grindfest of SoloQ (alone) for PvE rewards, for a few months now. You are too late man.

League season?! It’s overrated, we got ascended with PvE crafting.
Leaderboard?! Who cares? Give me my legendary backpack fast.
PvP system?! MMR is based by playing solo in 5v5, and you would not believe how trustworthy it is.
Leagues?! Honestly, look at PvP teams. Most of them already quit PvP, while the rest dedicated players moved away to other games.
Guilds?! I haven’t seen a PvP guild announcement since voting for SoloQ. Create one for you and your partner only (solo-duo guild, hilarious).
MOBA?! This is MMO.

Mechanics?! Who cares? Just play the game alone, get your rewards fast, and it’s complete. That is what we voted and we currently choose (look at the Profession Locking PvP Poll)

The most important PVP person behind the scene already left Arena Net.

You can notice that the last balance update focus on Raid.

PVP is dead, move on.

Quite funny, at begin this game was so proud not to have raid, now they are doing skill balance arround raid.

How a dude in unranked put it.. this game has been in beta for 5 years. Lets wait until it finishes or cancels mid-way in production.

Is that Kylo map ever going to be finished?

Kylo is a work in progress. They await for our feedback and balance it as it goes. It’s impossible to state at this moment when it will be complete.

After all, raids ATM are the only one really well-done thing in GW2. I really like this content. But it would be nice to see this kind of good changes in PvP too. I remember when years ago ppl (with me) was writing about raids, and that GW2 needs it. They finaly discovered it. Cause PvE in an earlier form was a sad joke.

And it’s a bit shame, that they still dont have a good solution for PvP. The game has a huge potential, but it looks like ArenaNet is afraid of good changes. Or idk why.

IMO best option is to create in-game league (something similar to ESL), and let ppl compete there – for real money, gems etc.

And besides that we can have PvP seasons like last one: 1,2,3. IMO their system was fine. Let ppl there play solo/5v5, compete with other guilds etc. Something for ppl, which can play, but they’re still not rdy to play in those in-game leagues (esl-like).

And unrankeds to train there.

WoW such hate for GW2. Sounds like you guys should try and play others games on top of playing GW2.

Doing this, opened my eyes to what GW2 is, and excel at. By the way there is nothing really broken about GW2. It’s PvE content/community will out survive most of the MMORPGs on the market.

Yall complaining about PvP not being meaningful in a PvE MMORPG. Is just as silly is me getting completely kitten about the imbalances of PvP and WvW in GW2 in the past. I ventured out towards other games. Came back with a new appreciation, and understanding on how ANet, is planing to make GW2 stand the test of time.

GW2 is one of a kind on the MMORPG market love it or hate it. (I like it.. somewhat.) The days where gamers mained one game are over for their enjoyment are over. Adapt or sink guys.

so pretty much… pvp is kittened?

Nowhere, thats where its going. That is the product of not having a pvp balance team.

The pvp team, can not touch the skill mechanics, thus there is little hope they can ever achieve anything.

Pvp in GW2 is a minigame….dont expect more and you whont get disappointed

Be patient.
