Guild Wars 2

That’s just my humble opinion.
I know that ArenaNet wants to make GW2 an e-sport and e-sports usually have just a single gamemode, but I don’t understand the lack of freshness into PvP while the PvE side of this game is extremely “living” and always new.

I’m not saying that PvP should have a bi-weekly update because I understand that pushing new contents for PvP is way harder compared to PvE, but I think that at least every month there should be a novelty for the PvP side of the game to keep it as fresh as PvE not necessarily the e-sports side, but also for the playerbase aiming for fun more than competition.

There is an huge dispair between the WvWvW-PvE and PvP playerbase just because PvP feels stale for a long time and gets boring fast.

Just imagine what would happen if an official duel gamemode is implemented in the game. There would be an huge influx of player to the PvP side of the game. What about an Annihilation Random Arena-like gamemode? Pretty much the same.

TL;DR: PvP, in my opinion, needs fun and freshness typical of the PvE Living World way more than rewards and balance

PvE then 2 weeks WvW then 2 weeks PvP. So us Spvpers get something every 6 weeks

that would be neat. I was thinking it’d be sweet if there was some large group pvp mission that was implemented and it rewarded more rank points and glory points depending on what rank you were in a group. Or if what if there was some kind of pvp dungeon… o_O

I’d love something new every month in pvp. A new rune set, a new sigil, or a new stat distribution on an amulet. Of course that means it will get released, it will make one or two classes/builds op for a few days, they will patch it…..at least it will seem like something is going on and there is active development. And then a new map every 3 months, for 3 months of hot join testing and then put it in the rotations for single and team queue. PVE/wvw players have all new stat choices/runes, but none have made it over to pvp. I honestly think anet needs to focus less on balance and more on fun. But then again they did that with skyhammer and tons of folks complained.

I also miss the single map for 4 days system. It really made you learn the strategy of a map well. The new system with 4/5 rotating is too much, but maybe 1 is too few….so like do 2 maps rotated out every 4 days and have single and team different ones so that if someone really doesn’t like…cough…skyhammer…cough…they can swap to playing the single/team for the 4 days.

I could have seen fighting Scarlet in the mists on a Pvp map as EPIC!
If they did this it would drive every1 doing the 2week stale living story to new parts of the game. All the living story kids would get to experience WvW and PvP.

As of right now they need to farm PvE living story every 2 weeks and don’t have time to jump into WvW and PvP. But If they continue with the 2 week patch then just mix in WvW and PvP.
They would still add in gem store items which is making them money and living story kids would be happier.
