Guild Wars 2

Some of those new upgrades do look like kitten. Wtkitten is with the banners? As if broken mesmers and miau wasn’t enough, now we have all of these random things branching out into bizarre game play. There’s no correlation anymore and WvW has become the blender for whatever the miaumiau they want to toss in. Dinosaurs, spirit banners, element towers, magi tech siege, broken classes that can kitten well permanent invis, .. what even in the kitten is going on?

Translation: I’m a WvW player and it doesn’t matter what they do for WvW I will never be happy because of the mindset I made myself have after self-imposed feelings of abandonment for WvW by ArenaNet.

These upgrades look very good, and helpful and healthy for the WvW scene. They are welcoming. Sure, some upgrades aren’t as good as others, but overall they look very promising.

So plz tell me i am wrong and thats not why the game as gone f2p, next step will be full empty and hackers alley with all this free accounts

You both are on wrong ends of the spectrum. Play the next stress test and hopefully they will have some of this stuff in it. Then you will know if ANET is brilliant or clueless.

Also, I will admit that the new map worries me. The last beta test ran for 24 hours. After the ANET promotion for the 3 three hours, pretty much everyone left. If they were having fun, I’d imagine people would have continued to play.

On paper the upgrades look like they will spice up and overhaul WvW completely. Which is a good thing. That was my point, I was just rude about it :p

The Core game went F2P, you still need to buy HoT to play without restrictions. I.E be able to use map chat, be able to access WvW before level 60, among others. Don’t use that as an excuse to vent your rage.

You’re silly.

Many who aren’t here and who don’t frequent the forums certainly agree.

Broken mechanics.

F2P allowed in WvW leaving spying and cheating wide open again

Question on all aspects of the “new” mechanics without fixing the basics…

We have a right to say that things are not getting better in WvW, only more complicated and less fun than ever before.

You admit being rude but won’t change your attitude?

Scary and so not right.

Again, Free Accounts can’t enter WvW, at all, until they get a character to level 60. This is not account wide, this is character specific.

Which mind you this is only true on accounts in the F2P game, which is only the core game. If they want access to WvW prior to getting a character to level 60 they need to prepurchase HoT for $50 or more depending on which edition they get. Which means no they aren’t instantly leveling with tomes because it’s a completely new account and tomes are account bound.

Please, pay attention.

These changes are for casuals and Yak’s bend players. No shock that anet would rather bring stupid stuff like this when wvw should be about fights, not siege and ppt.

Erm..I am just jumping in to say that it is only 1 character you need to reach lvl 60 with, then it is unlocked account wide(which only means 1 more character as they can only have 2)

So what is your actual issue with the aspect you mentioned?

All you have done is list some things and deemed them as bad, with no explanation. You going to hash that out, or are you simply here to jumble the WvW forums with unexplained complaints?

Well okay, you are wrong, and it most reasonably isn’t what the game has a limited free to play aspect.

Just read through the article, definitely looks like the end of solo roaming to me.

Also I believe there will be way too much environmental interference for guild raids to be fun anymore but we’ll just have to see how things turn out on this matter.
