Guild Wars 2

Is stronghold all we get ?
i’m not thinking about tracks crap, i’m thinnking about real pvp functions like:

- add functions/mechanics that help team creation and create real leaderboard based on that teams
- add functions/mechanics that help creating tournaments
- (get rid off current leaderboard), replace it with copy/paste blizzard hots/HS system – this is for casual play.
- MOAR SIMPLIFY and recognizable build system, new patch will bring specialisations which goes in right direction, but it isn’t enough to create more clear system like mobas have. Why like mobas and simple?, because otherwise this pvp will stay always as a niche without real pvp community.

yea, as someone who doesn’t really care for pve(after the first time through), this announcement was way to early. No build templates, no new leaderboards(still not working by the way), one new mode/map. hell even with a new WvW map I can’t say there’s enough to validate a purchase yet.

The biggest PvP item i’m looking forward to is the new Leaderboard, since it’s apparently “not the complete system”.. i’m having my doubts after experiencing the last two test seasons. If the leaderboard’s algorithm stays virtually the same as what’s listed on the wiki, we’re going to have a little algorithm pow-wow with the devs. I’m trying to remain optimistic.

I’m looking forward to not just the new Stronghold map but the new Specializations as well, as there’s specific class changes i’m drooling over.

50% less endurance regen means dodges are a bigger thing in competitive pvp. In fact, Sigil of Energy will be more sought after. Maybe even replacing poison or another damaging sigil.

The item I hope they implement as a post patch update is a long term PvP reward, similiar to PvE Legendary accolades. Something PvP specific that makes you stand out in that genre.
My vote: A Prestige effect on our PvP LvL. When activated, we revert down to lvl 1 and gain a Prestige symbol next to our avatar that corresponds to that level.
PvP exclusive skins and a title is a plus.
