Guild Wars 2

Unless you are new to the game, you would know that a very high chunk, nearly every Guild Wars PvP player is not playing Guild Wars 2 PvP.
.
.
The reasons we all know and it’s pointless repeating, but i’ll give a short resume, lack of skill variaty, skills linked to weapons that limit the gameplay, Alliance Battles as the only competitive PvP mode available.
.
.
If you came from Guild Wars to Guild Wars 2, you will feel so dissapointed on how the competitive PvP is so basic that you just end up not playing it.
.
.
It’s no secret Guild Wars success was, GvG and HA, something that noone understands why it’s not in GW2, it was your golden eggs.
.
.
You have this very intelectual, smart, hardcore pvp community stuck in Guild Wars, waiting for you to do something in GW2.
.
.
What do you plan to do, to bring back the Guild Wars pvp players to play pvp in Guild Wars 2?
.
Are we disposable heroes?

Guild Wars and all MMOs success is due to PvE content.

With that out of the way, a good PvP system will help a game.

if you measure success in money he is right

While this topic has gotten unfortunately chippy, I could not disagree with the OP more… also, from my friends that played GW1 hardcore, Xom is more on point.

But still, this is a terrible topic that is begging for a lock.

All i see is a bunch of devs trying to fix the meta of this game and then they just fail to realice that the pvp system (conquest) is really bad. But then again u get a dev that call ppl newbs l2p or noobs whatever and talks about league of legends.
Its really dumb to wait 40mins for a q to pop in a paid, guess what… only a few ppl like conquest to actually have a guild going just for that or the ppl that say oh it must be good becouse it has guild wars on the name, its terrible.
Really hope that they add other stuff that is not pve into this game … well ok add pve cuz some dudes love that but really the name of the game is guild wars, not run dungeons or capture points.

I propose that Anet separate PvP from GW, fix and polish it, and release it as a distinct competitive title.

Oh no, not another kitten drama queen

Me and my mates are Guild Wars PvP players and we still play Guild Wars 2 PvP so.. I guess we broke your argument at the very first point?

So bored by the “oh my god, the game was not perfect when it released, I will give them 2 months to program thousand and thousand columns of code and then rage about it on the forums” style of threads.

And no, I am still upset that the game was rushed into release before PvP was even close to done, but the combat is still amazing and if you dislike the current meta/lacking features just leave for a few months and check back later. It’s not like I think they Wanted to release it this lacking..

If you think conquest is so terrible why would you even try to que for a paid tourney? At first glance and when I joined 8v8 hotjoins I hated the conquest mode too but the past week I have been playing free tourneys mostly with PuGs that I get into voice chat and I have been having a blast. The meta isn’t bad and balance really isn’t near as bad as the vocal minority thinks. The devs are mostly right people do need to just learn2play and by that I mean learn2play as a team this isn’t a 1v1 game and neither was guild wars 1.

I don’t think paid tourneys are in a good place right now the competitive community is too small but free tourneys offer the same thing with slightly lower rewards. sPvP wasn’t meant to be something you grind for the rewards you do it for fun and you happen to stumble across some new gear skins as you go. The PvP community might be shrinking a bit but I didn’t wait more than 2 mins all weekend for a free tournament que to pop and I don’t think I faced the same team twice all weekend so to the OP the community doesn’t need rescued.
