Guild Wars 2

Just would like pre-hot servers. 3 of them to start. Then if they are packed all the time add another 3.

If you don’t do something like this to make up for the crappy expansion then really not only is this game in serious jeopardy but anything associated with ANET is. You are damaging your brand right now.

Nillagate, Nilla Quarry, Sanctum of Nilla

Seriously, though. It’s not a bad idea. The way it will actually happen is that they’ll rebuild the Alpine map to include all current and future changes, then slot it into whatever new thing they’re building to replace WvW with.

I support this, no elite specs, no revenants, alpine maps please.

It would be so awesome that it will probably never happen.
But really WvW is terrible right now.
Playing with a vanilla character is downright suicide.

How is so?

I am still playing vanilla engineer, vanilla warrior etc. in WvWvW, even though I have full hero point unlock on these characters. I know scrapper > engi in roaming. But berserker is kinda pointless in WvWvW. Shout support warrior still makes sense in zerg settings in WvWvW.

I am very well aware that the new elite specifications and reventant are overpowered in spvp. The leagues don’t have any spvp top teams using vanilla specs. But in WvWvW it is more about group work, coordination, siege etc. than pure offensive power your character can output.

I would want the old original WvWvW maps back for all servers. Arenanet, please give us such Christmas present.

Definitely won’t happen. The reason for the OP new specs is to push players to buy HoT. This idea runs completely counter to that.

Sounds like a great idea, see how all the changes stack up against circa 2013.
Even get to sell us second accounts maybe O.O

Yep. Presented as an incentive to drive sales, while discouraging the perception that it creates a buy-to-win scenario in the PvP league scheduled to occur before the next balance pass.

I’ve created multiple threads starting about 1.5 years ago asking for something like this. So have others. I suggested creating 6 or 9 all new servers with new names and having a week to fill them ….. Anyway. Been suggested.
