Guild Wars 2

Just a few things, you heard a lot and wont hear again…

iam rly sad about your prio’s in the game the last year…

The kitten only well thing was done in the past year was inplementing the custom arenas and spec mode.

Actually there is not even one point left which makes you motivated to play this game anymore.

Biggest failure the last patch, the tpvp was in the best balance case ever and got just destroyed huge again.

If you are not able, by any reassons, to give us dayli, weekly, and monthly tournaments with interesting prizes, if you are not able to get the players motivated in general, plz give us just this kitten 8team tourney back until your development is rdy for any new features in tpvp sczene.

the community did so much until customs were out, holding cash tourneys, mistleague start growing and so on, but at least not even those events are motivation for playing this game… and these were only able for the top tier teams, all the other thousands players out there get nothing from…

If there were prize pools 5k+ up all the time i wouldn’t QQ about anything at your developing instead of the balance, but that will not happen.

Skyhammer, your test players said awesome get this out to the com, i played the map, boring as hell…. thats my opinion, cause 100% tournament focused player, i wont need temple spirit sky…. for what?

there are other kind of players out there who like such things, but thats a period of time, thats the problem. You cant hold players while bringing all 4 month a new map and thats the point.

Give us something you removed in past, actually the greatest feature in the hole mists… Just until your planned features are rdy. Plz dont lose the yarn on this little esport chance is out there…

Dont know if you realized, but again many high tier teams are disbanding at the moment… Insight is the first step to recovery. Don’t wait 2 month again… give us something that ur able to implement in one week…. You have to do something now

You will not be nearly as much as the players get back to the custom arena release no matter what feature come in the future, hold them now!

Recently I’m having more fun playing vuvuzela for people in the mists than playing PvP. This says a lot…

Yup, I’m actually surprised by the amount of people still playing this game. Anet has made it clear they don’t give a crap about the PvP community all they care about is these fluffy BS living story events. My guess is that they shipped of most of their Devs to other projects and there is a very small crew working on The game, they already said there won’t be any expansions to the game which just goes to show they don’t plan on making the big changes additions this game needs so all there is to look forward to are small tweaks/nerfs to classes and buggy new maps every now and then. If you are waiting for them to fix the game I wouldn’t hold my breath and I really wouldn’t bother trying to tell them anything in this forum they don’t read it.

Its not really fun doing the same thing over and over and over and over again and again and again and again and again.
Been playing Smite lately. Don’t even care about the new fluff or map which is a shame because I like the action in this game. Just doesn’t feel like pvp is being handled very well.

It is, if the gameplay and the game type is good enough.
We don’t need a multitude of game types, we just need the right one.

I don’t understand how they can push that amount of pve content every 2 weeks yet TAKE AGES to do proper balancing in pvp…

Watch the SOTG of the month and then watch the notes of the next month. It’s hilarious.

Esport hype can do a lot, and indeed did, u had 4 k viewers watching a chaotic aoe particle spam festival, with prizes donated by these same people. That’s huge, normally u need to pay to the people to watch something like that.
But esport hype can’t make a game successfull, so gw2 spvp is screwed .

If they have half a brain, and i’m sure they have, they will leave a skeleton development team, half of it’s job will be to generate esport hype. That way they can say they are still improving the game and put some videos about how cool gw2 spvp is, and how huge it will be.

The money is in the pve side, i find it even worst than the pvp, but somehow its a success, so good for them.

Dear Arenanet, can you give me a answer, are you able to inplement something in the next 2 weeks before all “pro’s” left the game?

Du not take this another QQ thing, it’s important. You can’t lose 90% of the high tier community. Fan boys will stay for years, but this kind of players are rare in every game…

You rly should start ignoring things like map complaining, focus on the real targets this game have.

Quick example, (started Mistleague got around ~30 teams on EU, less than 10 are still existing at the moment, rest disband…another month, and there wont be enough Teams left for playing the playoff tournament at the end of S1….)

I stopped reading at the 8 team tourny thing. Why?

Well quite simply, 8 team tourny wouldn’t work right now, because there’s never 8 teams ready to play, at any given moment of the day. Sadly enough…

Even 1 round tournament wait time is ridiculously long sometimes…

TBH: Since the 8-round PAID tournaments with gem-rewards have gone, competition has gone worse and worse. CA was a good introduction but not supported by A-Net in anyway. Other ppl had to step in to do A-Nets job, but naturally couldn’t provide any viable prices. Everytime A-Net release a patch i have to /facepalm, because they do everything wrong, they can possibly do wrong.

Join in PvE or WvW. It’s not competition but it’s at least rewarding and fun instead of frustrating and repetitive.

It’s true. If anyone thinks or says otherwise they’re really living a lie. Just 1 fact here – In the first day of release Anet was boasting about having 800 000 concurrent players online. In Mists ALL hot join servers were full. Yes all of them. You could hardly find a server to play on. But the number of players decreased significantly on a daily basis.

Now, I think it’s safe to say, that if sPvP was made appealing and fun, not nearly as many people would have left. There would still be hundreds (if not even thousands) of guilds playing tournaments.

sPvP lacked basic features. It still does. Basically no work was put into it apart from 4. I wouldn’t even mind that, if Anet had not lied about it with huge promises about e-sport. It was the biggest, fattest lie I have ever witnessed in online gaming. And THAT is what kitten es me off about it all.

Right now Guild Wars 1, a 9 years old game, has more competitive guilds than Guild Wars 2. Not even 11 months old game.

Considering this fact, I often do not know exactly – should I laugh or cry?

P.S. And what I really want to hear from Anet is: “Yes, we neglected sPvP, yea we know we kittened it up.”

And just to make this clear. I’m not blaming the people that are supposed to be working on sPvP in GW2. This is none of their fault. Someone higher up the chain of command in Anet made decisions that made sPvP the way it is. Those working on sPvP were pretty much given a mission impossible job called: “make sPvP from what we’ve given you” – and what they got is a game designed strictly for PvE. Now they have to balance it all out without disrupting the pve/wvw balance etc.

I also agree with Empa on this one. The one tournament and three tournament was the best direction and the reasons were simple;

Most/all really good premades/teams would be playing three tournament mode while the rest of us (solo-duo quers-pugs) would be hitting the one mode tournament.

I am personally going to be sticking with PVE and World vs World for the following reasons;

1.I cannot commit to a team/make a team because of my work schedules at the moment.
2.Solo-duo que is still not separated.
3.They still haven’t removed Skyhammer from tournaments.
4.Map rotation needs to be daily – I honestly hate battle of kylo.
5.Like I said in another thread this game is starting to feel that 70percent is based on build and 30percent on skill – faceroll builds (one shot builds/mass abuse; evade, condition, ect)

There are many more but for the time being that is about it.

We need feature-wise:

—> Map pool choice (Tpvp); CS:GO system where you chose the maps you want to queue for. This way everyone plays the maps they like.

—> Obviously the solo/team queue split.

—> Daily, weekly, monthly automated tournaments. Like in gw1. This is needed to create more teams and just more dynamics in HoTM. Ofcourse this needs to be implemented with appropriate rewards.
Anet said in an interview (can’t remember which one) they are evaluating how the players run tournaments and such. Well, the last few weeks the amount of tournaments is slowly dieing off. We need the official tournaments alongside the unofficial ones.

—> Observer mode à la GW1. Only the matches in the Automated Tournaments should be featured here. I think the reason they don’t go for this, is because they want to boost twitch viewership. I still think an observer mode ingame would be good for the community.
The unofficial tournaments and the ASP can still be used for twitch streaming.

—> Rewards overhaul. Opening chests now is plain boring. Give us more! More equipment, minipets, tonics, etc.

Skyhammer is the new feature..ahahaha (troll)
