Guild Wars 2

So about 4 months ago I posted here about how I had been gone for 4 months and still kitten all had been added to WvW. So after waiting another 4 months in hope for something decent to get done to WvW, has anything worth mentioning actually been done to it or at the very least in the progress? I know this bloodlust bullkitten got added a fair while ago and I know of the “Edge of the Mists” map that’s being tested wasting time on this kittenty map which while it looks nice, has no affect on WvW score. Does arenanet even ever intend on making the WvW more enjoyable and more dynamic? It is stale as kitten after over 1 year of nothing major or worth mentioning being done to it I honestly don’t know how people still play it. Please if I’ve left something out and there is something worth mentioning, please do tell me about it.

The WvW season league was a pretty big change, whilst it may have been unbalanced, long and we’re not sure what the reward will be (fingers crossed it’s something good after 7 weeks) I did enjoy getting easy achievements for doing WvW.

Those achievements tempted some PvE players into trying WvW, some may have stayed. Although, many players also left WvW due to some unfair match-ups. I think it will balance itself out and season 2 should be much better.

WXP is becoming account bound soon, which will be more alt-friendly and make players more effective.

Oh yeah I knew about those changes too. What i’m talking about is something major or new to make WvW more fun and less static and stale. Like perhaps a new map for actual WvW gameplay instead of some kitten you “play on while you wait to get in real WvW” or WvW only skills or kittening something. It’s kittening been well over a year and nothing good or major has been done to it.

Nothing new.

there have been a lot of changes but obviously you’ve made up your mind that none of them are good enough for you.

The borderlands water area is now a bunch of ruins with master cannons for defense. Instead of a big loch, it’s more land with varying heights, made for some interesting fights.

I’m not sure I’d like a new map, it would mean the bigger servers with higher populations gaining a bigger lead over smaller servers. Changes to current maps wouldn’t be too bad.

Also, the WXP skills like “guard killer” or “ram mastery” has changed a fair bit, and they’re planning on adding more/changing them up in the near future so that kind of counts for the WvW specific skills area you mentioned.

Beastmaster Rangers and Turret Engis are the new meta.

wvw is basicly a gloryfied champtrain with obstacles and some extra xp.
lootbags not uncluded..

except for the minor changes that didn’t do anything to promote actual sort of balanced competition and the GvG area. nothing has changed.. gameplay is still boring and tedious. the maps are still unimaginative and made out of stock. (i know jumping puzzles that have more active gameplay and more imaginative design thenWvW ^^)

Add the fact everyone has his or her warrior leveled now and are all running the same exact builds makes this even more tedious.(except maybe when you outnumber your opponent then its all gravy and you wont hear those people complain much )
so yeah, people are still running hammertrains.. are still playing the same maps.. are still doing the same old conquest based gameplay.
40% of the time people are running around, another 40% of the time people are either waiting on gates to drop, waiting on buffs to expire, waiting for a cap or waiting for enemies to show up.. the other 20% is combat.. and that is a grenerous estimation..

so to answer your question, has anything fresh and new been introduced to make wvw interesting? No.. come back in 2015…

If you are truly interested, yes a lot has been added recently, I will list some major ones:

1. They changed the lake area in Borderlands to a new ruin area and added a new mechanic, bloodlust, fun area to roam around.

2. They made the EBG jumping puzzle a separate map and added a big area for gvg.

3. Season 1 which attracted a tons of new wvw blood.

4. A new map, edge of the mists, is being tested right now without NDA, a large amount of guilds (thousands) have received invitation to join the testing.

5. They increased WvW rewards and soon the rewards will be account bound.

There is a new map, a WvW map, and you can play in it whenever you want, not only when you are in queue for BLs.
There are also a ton of WvW skills implemented in the game already. To access them press WvW button and switch to first tab to view your WvW skills.

If you already knew about those and weren’t satisfied with them then maybe you should make a suggestion about how to improve them. Alternatively, feel free to make your own Guild Wars 2, with blackjack and hookers.

No.
