Guild Wars 2

Let me be upfront:

Ascended Gear ended my love affair with this game.

sPvP was in a kittenty state when they released vertical progression, and it instantly drained any possibility of me continuing to enjoy WvW or what little PvE I played.

I’m not here to debate that though, they made their choice on that and so did I.

I am here to find out from the community if sPvP has gotten any better. This is the only aspect of GW2 that still holds a sliver of potential for me.

Please share your opinions with a player who has been gone for months, and doesn’t want to return until I am able to evaluate sPvP fairly (before sinking hours into the game that will only go the Ascended Gear route and become more WoW like PvP-wise).

SPvP is still boring. Ascended gear is annoying, but not a big deal if they don’t add anymore ranks. They said they won’t. So, nothing has changed for your view.

Thanks for the response.

Have they said anything about Ascended Gear in sPvP or not?

They won’t be adding it to SPvP. Pretty sure I read that somewhere, but I don’t have a source. I’m not worried about that ever happening. SPvP is supposed to be about skill not stats. (Granted it’s mainly a merry-go-round atm.) But anyway, there will be no gear grind in SPvP.

Alright cool. From what I’ve read it seems they have some stuff coming up.

Amazing it’s taken this long to get a ladder system established.

I guess I’ll give it a few more weeks before checking things out and seeing if it’s worth any time investment.

If a ladder is the deciding factor of whether or not you’ll be playing sPvP, you are wasting your time.

It’s not the deciding factor, but why do you say that?

Yeah I think I’ll do that.

Thanks for the responses.
