Guild Wars 2

I’d like very much if you ( Arenanet ) could create a virtual instance of a borderland or even just a small portion of one. To be used by each world exclusively as a training ground or a Boot Camp. You have the mist for PvP, yet none for WvW. Which appears to be needed far more than in PvP.

This way people can learn and build skills. Commanders can teach, strategize, and form better tactics and communication skills. Hopefully, all leading to a better and more fun WvW experience.

If anyone agrees or has another idea to get new players into WvW, please share it……

They have it, it’s commonly called the zerg.

Hell, even a rented instance like the one planned for SPvP would be nice. I wouldn’t mind renting a server to train the guild on siege warfare.

I agree, it would help a lot. Siege engines can be practised which is good. But it would be nice to at least be able to fight 1v1, that would help prepare people for the tricks they can expect out in the field.

Im a mesmer, it would help if I could show people how to spot the real mesmer rather then the illusions.

Right now it goes like this.

‘No that’s a phantasm’
‘Your hitting a clone now’
‘Now your hitting your keyboard, with your face’

Which ends in servermates swearing eternal hatred to all mesmers, and that leads me to portalling them up in the Jumping Puzzle to prevent them petitioning Anet to ritually burn all mesmers.

Thanks for the constructive post! Happy to see a few others see the benefit of this. I think it’s a dynamic that would not only help but, bring some fun to the game. There’s probably quite a few whom would enjoy playing the role of Drill Sergeant :-)

For the running in the Zerg, that’s not exactly a constructive place to learn. It’s mostly chaotic and not very informative. A new player will most likely encounter a CAP monster yelling at them for not doing it “their” way. Then the new player would get angry or frustrated and bail on WvW, never returning.

This game is supposed to last for years. Without such long term thinking, it’s future will suffer. Anything that can add fun and relieve stress is a good thing :-) Like an effigy in the Quaggan Temple where we can ritually burn Mesmer’s and thieves at the stake. Yeah…. now that’s an idea ;-) lol

Honestly, I’d never get some of the puzzles without a Mesmer
