Guild Wars 2

Was just reading the Oct blog post again, this quote struck me:

Guild Wars 2 competitive PvP is taking its first steps, teams are starting to organize, and some key features are about to start showing up. But are we done working on it?

Hell no.

The way we see it, Guild Wars 2 sPvP may be shipped, but it’s far from finished.

So admittedly GW2 is not ready yet for esports, we all know that. Core features are missing. It’s good to see the dev’s admit that.

My speculation is publisher pressured Arenanet to release GW2 a before MoP. It was a good move on the PVE side. The game got great reviews, but those were for PVE and WvW.

But this backlash on the PVP forums is pretty big as well. Fortunately most of the posts are constructive and great ideas. People post here because they care.

Since some see the Nov 15th patch as “make or break,” I just thought to post this to shed some long term perspective on our current situation with the PVP in this game.
