Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

I’m probably not the first to make a list like this but at the moment I’m kind of sad about the state of certain parts of the structured PvP. The list I’ll post down below is my opinion of things that need change/improvement (quickly).

• A matchmaking system: why is this still not in the game? In order to keep sPvP fun for everyone a system like this is drastically needed.
• Custom games: another major thing that needs to be added ASAP. I want to be able to practice with our guild teams on certain maps and have other organized activity’s.
• Bugs: the sPvP sometimes feels infested by bugs. I often don’t have the feeling I’m playing a finished product.
• The rez-game: basically team builds are centered around downed-team mates. The reasons for increasing the downed health pool just seem not right to me. When someone is downed there should be a 50% chance of survival, now its like a 90% chance.
• Map rotation: why is it that Kyhlo is the final map in every tournament? I understand that in order to make a tournament fair, people should play on the same maps in the same rounds. This does not mean though that the map rotation should be the same every single tournament.

There are probably some more things but these are just my major points I’m annoyed about nearly every tournament. Now I love sPvP don’t get me wrong, but these things do take away from the experience allot.

Speculation/question: In a recent interview you guys said that February will bring allot of new WvWvW content, will this be a general PvP month? With that question I mean will there be sPvP content as well? If not, will January become the month for sPvP? I hope it will because if not we are looking at March to be next in line for new sPvP content.

PS.
Next time you add something like PvP snowball fights, make it so you can enter as a pre-made group /sigh

Matchmaking/rating and custom arena’s are on their way.

Bugs will be fixed, new bugs will appear. That’s how it always goes.

Every month there’s a bit of balancing and bug fixes.

Downed-state/rezzing is a valid part of the tactical game. Which imo leads to fun/tense situations.

I know the matchmaking / custom are on there way, but its just taking way to long. This should have been in the game @ release. They put allot of manpower on making this entire wintersday event but which I find really strange since they have stuff like this that needs to be done ASAP.

Teleporting into walls every single tournament is becoming an annoyance.

Its not fun/tense if everytime someone goes down they get up again in the blink of an eye. The fights are tedious and annoying because everytime you have someone downed it just doesnt matter.

The balance is fine generally speaking (I’d only complain about the shatter mesmers, they might need a nerf). I’m happy the way the balance stuff out.

I gotta disagree with the rezing, its part of the game currently. To remove it, they would have to drastically increase every classes base survival (like glass cannons would need 25k hp minimum, and tanks, 35k) otherwise there would be absolutely no reason not to run 5x full glass cannons (the biggest difficulty for a glass cannon is finishing someone when they are downed really)

Also for the map pool, i’m indifferent on it. I feel like krylo requires better team coordination at least to effectively use the treb; it would hurt pugs more if that was say, the first map. Also if capricorn ever got in the rotation………….. ewww
