Guild Wars 2

With the removal of glory and a hinted change to spvp including game modes being said. What are the plans/features that will be changed?

I am really interested in finding out what enhancement you have in mind for this round of changes.

Here are some I would love to see:

One of the big ones is bringing spvp to a more visible forefront. Having access to view team, solo matches as well as not having to be watching matches while they are live all while displayed in an easy to access gui that highlights matches. Ring a bell?

These mechanics to a map that you have to discover should not be the case, announce and say the benefit of each thing available. Like “The Orb has appeared Get it to Y location to gain X points”. Not having to play a few times to understand what is going on in a map is a good thing.

A straight up 8v8 or 5v5 match with a time limit or even just removing the capture points and replace them with buff points or places that provide a positional advantage. I mean these are simple changes that I assume don’t require major changes. Although I would look forward to Major changes (guild hall battles – not necessarily restricted to guilds but a game mode, hall of heroes style was cool).

A major piece missing from the game is having a reason and the ability to join with a group and do stuff (aside from team pvp).

“The goals of these changes are to make PvP a more integral part of the overall Guild Wars 2 experience, to lay the foundation for new game modes, to give PvP players ways to set goals and work towards them, to create PvP rewards that can be used game wide, and to create a platform for delivering those rewards.”

They are laying the foundation for new game modes… there should be some idea as to which modes they intend to develop.

This is over 3 months old though. Who knows what has changed since then….

Hence my inquisitive post.. lol

I think 3 months is enough time to give more details.

I totally agree with you, I just wouldn’t be to optimistic for a response if I were you

3 months isn’t enough time for Anet to do anything yet – they are still in the brainstorming / preplanning stage. Keep your expectations low and you will find things work out more often!

Don’t listen to this guy he makes too much sense. In an idea world sPvP would be the center of the gw2verse, in this reality spvp is not. There is a saiyan, “expect the worst and you will never be disappointed”. If you are still here after all this time, you shouldn’t be have high expectations.

I will say that the new PvP matches were probably shown because pvper were complaining about the lack of long term plans and so Anet threw them a bone. Sadly, it seems by throwing the bone they increased the hunger.

Lol I actually stuck with the PVE/WvWvW side for a very long time because what I saw in sPvp was in my opinion seriously lacking. But I started picking it up and I still feel it needs work but its fun.

One thing I will say in Anet’s defense is that even though the whole mechanic needs to be reworked (to make sPvp more appealing) and ppl say its better to not release an unfinished product but one thing that Guild Wars 1 did was constantly add new functionality with each “expansion” that made the whole game carry so much more weight compared to its beginning.

They took a faster development cycle in gw2 that needs lots more time to implement than I am sure they took into consideration. And to top it off these changes need to impact the community and the game in a positive way.

They deserve some leeway but to simply feel disparaged and just give up expecting great things from Arenanet is not what I would consider since in my opinion the game holds alot of potential and will be even better as time passes.

sPVP is a very unique experience to GW2, and it involves tactics, teamwork, and also naturally creates 1v2 4v4 3v2 etc fights. That being said yeah we would all like more modes, which they are for SURE working on but MAYBE getting thrown in with the PVP overhaul, and I have seen hints of GvG stuff. (Fingers Crossed)

It’s just that MMO business is so competitive, u have to know when to hold`m and when to fold`m or the competition will steal ur ideas and make a better gam.

GW2 ideas are sooo stronk they are instantly stolen, assimilated, and implemented in to the competition.

See, cuz now WoW has Pokemanz.
