Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

Honestly one of my fears for sPvP and tPvP is that due to ANet’s slow moving approach to fixing some issues really bugging the player base, like Bugs, Not being balance, Premades Stomping Pugs, No Ranking system etc, that people are giving up on sPvP.

Now I know the people replying will most likely say “OMG YOU ARE CRAZY THERE IS SO MANY PEOPLE YOU NEED TO GET YOUR EYES CHECKED”

Well my experience is that me on my server and several friends dotted across different servers are noticing the the mist is certainly emptying out.

I notice I am running into the same people over and over which makes the pool is getting smaller.

I don’t know, what do you guys think?

Honestly, I am just surprised ANet hasn’t addressed some of the issues on this forum alone faster than they have.

TBH, Anet has done a pretty good job so far, I mean the game has not been out very long and IMHO tPvP and sPvP is more end game material. It took rift like 9 months to correct most of their pvp issues and they still have allot to work on. I have been pvping everyday since launch and have cut back due to not being able to enjoy the actual game. Eventually they will fix 90% of the bugs but since its such a new game they can’t just quick fix stuff. For example the Theif cloaking bugs. its not an easy fix, will probably takes months and allot of hours to fix it. Yes, the bugs suck, yes they need to fix them, but the s/tPvP is a very tiny portion of the game so sit back and relax

ANet tends to sit and watch things for months at a time before doing anything, then make huge, sweeping changes to the game with only little hotpatches for individual problems in between that they deem too important or so inconsequential it wouldn’t break the game in the meantime.

That can backfire on them though, when they release the updated version and players discover some of the changes were asinine to begin with, or exploitable. They then have a carefully tested release with some severe problems associated with it because they completely internalized the new meta without considering the players may outsmart them.

Oh trust me I know sPvP is a small portion. I have a lot of alts myself and enjoy the rest of the game, but the sPvP is the part that will be a eSport for GW2 and I see that crowd diminishing.

These bugs also effect WvW like the mentioned stealth bug.

If anyone or even Anet tells me again that “tPvP is just a small portion of the game” I think I’m going to implode. All I have to say at this state of fury is that if you don’t have lemons to sell you don’t advertise you have lemons then tell me I don’t need lemons right away because they aren’t that important.

Yeah, let me be clear….sPvP and tPvP are a smaller portion than the PvE side but no less important in my mind.

There are a decent amount of people (Ones I have talked to) enjoying PvE that were sold on this game because of the pvp promises.
