This are just some things i would love to be in the game by the end of this year. I know the PvP Dev team is rather small, but they were able to make some great things last year and it gives me hope. This list is in no particular order.
1. Update/Complete Khylo, Forest, Foefire in the sense that no more clipping issues occur, no porting into the maps and getting stuck. The new maps like temple, sky hammer are more polished and are what i would say complete maps.
2. Update spectator mode so that you can free cam around. I think this feature relates to the first point since if the maps are not complete, you’ll be able to just fly into objects and clip. I know they could implement this when since they showed off their sky hammer map. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3jb6jFW4DQ
3. Add more skins in pvp, like if i go on the wiki, example http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gallery_of_shields . There are so many skins ive never seen before cause i don’t pve/wvw at all.
4. Add leader boards ranking into the game instead of externally checking on the forums. Nothing is better than showing off your kitten inside of the game, especially in PvP. I feel this would be kinda hard to implement in a way, but its not my coding problem loloolololol.
5. Seasons for pvp are coming but i thought just to mention it some more. I know gw2 is meant for a more casual player base, but i would really prefer some exclusive rewards for people at the top of season. Pvpers need to have a goal with some shiny reward attached to it. And nothing lame like the wvw rewards, a dumb stomp isn’t cutting it.
6. Merge the mists, one for na and eu. Since the pvp population is already so small, only makes sense to do this to create more teams, strengthen the community, show off your skins to everyone and what not.
New* People are putting in some valid points that if this happens, it would cause lag? I dont really see the issue since you can currently guest into any other heart of the mists. Why not make the button “Join the Heart of the Mists” automatically guest you to a server that just holds everyone in na/eu? Seems like the easiest of coding options.
7. Add more maps, it rough playing on the same maps over and over and over. We already know you have a slyvari map already made with traps and stuff. Just release it already so the pvp community doesn’t feel abandoned, even if its going to be meant for hot joins.
8. Add 2v2 death match into the game, make maps specific for it, its great for casting, not as hard to find players for it, pretty much a win win. Also implement leader boards and seasons right away when you launch it.
Edited for spelling error and wanted to add some new points due some neato ideas of the thread. As well just a reminder, the pvp team and balance team are 2 separate divisions. So im not gonna bother talking about how x class is overpowered. This thread is mainly for the pvp game mode.
9. Add ready button when solo/team que pops for 20 seconds, if you don’t press it you get kicked outta que. Also make the wait time during the game 1 min instead of the min and 30secs. I want to play the game and bash heads, not watch a clock tick down.
10. Update the scoreboards in game, im not too sure why you just don’t go with like a wow or blc scoreboard instead of what we have now. The scoreboard right now doesn’t provide much information for someone who tries shout casting or observing the game. Like no one really cares how much score/glory you accumulated. People wanna see everyone’s individual kills/deaths/revivals/points nueted/ points captured/2nd map mechanics and what not. When you have a proper scoreboard, a player can learn from the data and understand their mistakes and look for ways to improve on. For go my post but i think this is one of the most important foundation pieces for pvp at this time.
