Guild Wars 2

So we have the Overgrown Grub, the Arboreal Spirit, and a bunch of ally generating events (just in EBG)… but I wonder how many people are, like me, disappointed that these all seem rather self-contained. These world events do little to affect the map beyond helping a havoc squad more easily capture a supply camp, or distracting the zerg from the tedium of waiting for the enemy to re-cap something so that it can be assaulted again.

I would like to suggest making dynamic events for WvW. Something like the Kessex Hills centaur meta event, culminating in having a big champion attacking a nearby fortress. A borderland’s garrison would be an interesting choice. Or, alternatively, have Stonemist Castle be the launching point of a meta event that adds more guards, or something.

I haven’t formulated a sample version, I just thought it would be an interesting concept to make the WvW map more organic. Right now… when you’ve conquered stuff, you’ve conquered stuff. And when your stuff’s been conquered, your options for reclaiming territory are limited.

Well the problem is that you would have to make events that you would have to attack or lose something for people to want to pay attention to. As most people currently dont even bother with the grub in the first place.

So you have this attack from a world boss or something that could very well take your keep. What time zone is this going to happen in? Is it going to happen a different times throughout the 24 hours and now we have a centaur night capping?

And if it doesnt happen at night (NA time zones), wouldnt we be excluding those servers who have populations in other time zones.

The best events Ive found in WvW are community driven ones. Mainly the golem rushes to take a keep in a competitive match up.

The problem of nothing to do comes from match ups that are not equally competitive.

Thus Anet really needs to fix the time zone issues and server populations to really fix that.

And dont get me wrong, I think having an AI aspect to WvW would be interesting.

Delete grub and no pve pls. Mobs are only to rally downeds

^ This.
Although I’m pretty sure the op is getting his wish in the new bl with the stupid dinosaur skyhammer event.

I would like something like what the OP posted. But at the same time I would also want to have the option to go to another map with, as the others say "no pve pls".

I still think this game mode would be enhanced by having more variety in maps, instead of reiterating the same "map style" over and over.

Let people go to the map with the play style they prefer/want/enjoy.

Yes I hate mobs in WvW, they should all be friendly/npc’s.

Yes, let’s have all pve type events in wvw- in fact, make it so that you can only compete in wvw via mindless pve style events. No more of that nasty killing each other, now you have to complete an event to capture your ’enemy’s’ tower, or destroy their gates..oh wait, that one is coming… /sarcasm (for those that didn’t realise)

PVE is that way <<<<< OP.

I mean, I guess it would be ok if the Grub and Spirit would act as siege monster a la HotS. As long as there is fighting over objectives involved somehow.
