I’m worried with this. What exactly do THEY think is better?

Due to company policy, they unfortunately can’t answer that question:

“I cant answer question on future development, compaany policy ::(”

Remember when they thought it was a good and better thing for wvw to remove white swords permanantly? Thats why i am worried when a dev says its going to be “better”.

I always joked about how the wvw devs are interns.. Now I think they got hired, so good for them?

Without input from the WvW community, I highly doubt that. More like “here’s another revision we are SURE you will like”.

BTW where the kitten is the CDI, weren’t we suppose to get one by now?
It has been a month since HoT release, some of us want this to happen!

Edit to add:

If by better they include wiping all current progress (ranks) they can take their entire game mode and stick it, along with the rest of their game!! I’ll go play something else if this happens.

Well, tbh I can’t fear it anymore.. I mean even if they mess WvW up more, it’ll just make the quitting faster… Taking away the maybe half-year time we still have for wvw?

All I see there is that they confirm “They cannot talk about it”
And Soon™

So the same thing they’ve been saying since launch.

Well while they cant talk about it, we know players are leaving! They know this policy of excommunication is bad, and we know they have this policy because they have nothing to offer.

Better… So they will remove all the wvw perks you have spent your points in, make a new currency you have to grind for, and can only get with HoT. Then make you regrind for the same perks you already had. And done.

Better.

TBH this concerns me.
Anet’s definition of better does not usually align well with the players’.

That’s not confirmation. That’s a dev from some other part of the game repeating the ‘wvw is getting better’ mantra without knowing the first thing about wvw. He’s only been there a few months, obviously hasn’t learned never to promise things they aren’t going to deliver, or answer any questions relating to wvw.

When they announce beta testing of new features and maps and restricting various test servers to small groups, roamers and a blob map or two, and how they are going to deal with empty servers as well as full ones, points system, mismatches, and the numerous other issues affecting the game mode then I’ll believe that Anet are actually working on making it ‘better’.

Honestly it would be nicer if they updated their policy regarding discussion of future updates… have they said anything about that yet? I don’t mind waiting half as much as I do mind complete silence. Complete silence (this dev comment still counts as silence) often indicates that things have gone stagnant. Regular communication – whether limited from certain reveals or not – is a better policy than stonewalling a playerbase.

I’d really really really like to say that Anet doesn’t stonewall us (I really enjoy the Guild Wars series and the community it has built), but I’ve seen so little interaction…

Been there, punned that.

Another key thing to keep in mind here is the wording itself. it isn’t “WvW will get better” It’s not an implied message of hope that they’re doing anything to improve the state of affairs. It’s “WvW is getting better” which is completely different. It isn’t acknowledging that there’s something wrong that needs to be fixed, it’s telling people that in Anet’s opinion things are better now than they used to be, and that they’re going to keep on keeping on. Which….. fits Anet’s standard pattern of screwing up miserably, then steering into the skid as hard as they can. Same thing happened with Ascended gear. Same thing happened with the Living Story. Same thing happened with WvW Masteries. And now the same thing will happen with the stolen guild upgrades and empty, irrelevant, yet pretty, new Borderland maps. Any poker player on the planet knows how to read a tell, and Anet’s are glaringly obvious at this point.

The developer was just saying “WvW is getting better” in the sense that anet thinks over time players will eventually return to WvW and there will be more action. It does not mean anet will redesign, improve or change wvw.

Besides, the ingenuity of these “dropped hints” is that they don’t have to do anything to string people along for another six months, and when you finally start wondering where the major overhaul is, they can simply point out that they never issued any statements about one.

Hmmm…

A relatively new employee says something about a game mode in Say chat while waiting on a PvE event to start. That’s what I call “water cooler talk.” I wouldn’t read too much into it either way. With that said, I’ll take what he/she said as to mean – For better or for worse, WvW will continue to evolve.

It took them 3 years to change some numbers for the achievements. I don’t know why would anyone believe that they have been working on wvw major updates for over an year. If they actually ever do something USEFUL and I’m still around, they can thank me for still playing this garbage.

Sure they say that, they also said engi get looked at after the only BWE we got and after a month now nothing happens besides nerfs.

So in my opinion they will fail.

This.

Considered that the ex-lead WvW hasnt worked on anything since March before he left Anet, isn’t that enough fact that Anet has no intention to do anything about this game mode? Clearly they want to force people to do more PvE.

As if developers will drop the dung on their own product.. Of cuz words like “getting better”, “look forward to it” are being used in the face of us consumers

Show us the actual improvements. New deserted borderlands are a total waste of our hdd storage space.

The issue is Anet’s definition of “better”

Just last week there were 2 whole players in the new maps for a period of more then 20 min, clearly this means things are better because the week prior it was only 1 player and he left after 5 minutes. So if we just hold out for another year or two we might actually see the 5 people that are left playing WvW show up on the new maps and stay for an Hour.

The maps speak for themselves, it doesn’t matter if there is 5 people on these forums that like them, it doesn’t matter if 1 guild thinks they are nifty. Look at the activity prior to the new maps and look at the activity with the new maps, it’s pretty self explanatory, it’s been a month that’s plenty of time to gauge the failure.
