Hello! I had a quick question, and can’t seem to find much info online about this.
I have been gone for a while and am currently updating my client to join back into the fray! When I last played the game, WvW was not considered “PvP” by Arenanet. The PvP class tweaks did not affect it, the gear was not normalized so PvE gear disparities were present, and whatever gear/stats you brought with you from the PvE side of the game was all you had for WvW.
Is this still the case, or did it ever get upgraded to PvP status? I always thought this was a bit… strange, and then I heard that some WvW patches were in the works, so I wanted to see what the news was on this front.
No. It remains unchanged in the sense that you use your normal PvE gear and stats.
WvW now saves a seperate build for your character, similar to PvP so if you run different builds between the 2 modes you don’t need to change it back and forth.

This has to be the laziest excuse for a posting I’ve seen in a while. You are speaking ur mind for the sake of speaking ur mind. You already know the answer to ur question, and if you don’t you know nothing about the mode so why don’t you actually play it and then start making threads.
I kill you in one gunflame, or I kill you in two.

Um no, you see when Anet gave out the surveys for GW2 to GW1 players, Gw1 players overwhelmingly voted for " large scale PvP" Anet told us that is what we were actually getting. They said they heard us and were going to make it! Well then we got it and it wasn’t what they said they were going to do in the first place and players were disappointed. I am still asked by former guildies and old friends from Gw1 if Anet ever came through with large scale PvP. That is actually a legitimate question by many who were promised this long ago, who come and check periodically still in hopes it finally happened. No reason to jump on their case about it. They just get their hope up when they get news.

I’m a member of the old GW1-player crowd who was left a little confused and gets their hopes up about WvW. I was rather disappointed when it came out and was considered a PvE mode, so I keep an ear out for any news about WvW I can hear. Folks in another game started talking about “a major WvW patch”, and I thought this was the one I was waiting for. Poked around online and couldn’t find any info, soooo I figured I’d ask here.
Anyhow, thanks for the replies all! Not quite the answer I was hoping for, but glad to know for sure!

I keep telling them they need to add more PvP and less PvE, I am hopeful they started to listen somewhat. We did finally get PPK, and some class changes, but still much work is needed to be what either you or I are hoping it will be. I am not giving up yet,though. There is still hope they could move in that direction.

World vs world and structured player vs player are player vs player modes… You may have missed the memo, but world vs world is modeled after realm vs realm, not arena player vs player or guild vs guild.
It’s really super easy to gear up, so get out there champ and get your gear!
Unfortunately, the devs do not put out separate balance patches for world vs world, structured player vs player and player vs environment.
Seems like structured player vs player would be best for you, so go try that out and good luck!

We know that is what they did, HOWEVER, that was NOT what Anet told the players who filled out the surveys at the time they were going to do. They chose to do that later, so of course players keep checking back in to see if they ever kept their word. All you are doing is saying “hey look Anet did this instead of what they originally said they were going to do.” ( Players already know that , considering that is why they left). They already know about small scale PVP, we had that already on GW1, what they said they were going to give us was large scale PvP, like we asked for. They just haven’t come through yet.

Last I played, WvW also did not count towards PvP achievements. According to what you are saying, we can now at least get the PvP achievements in WvW since it is a PvP mode, correct?

I’m sorry that large scale pvp in gw2 doesn’t meet your expectations of large scale pvp.
When Gw1 players were surveyed about Large scale PvP, we wanted Gw1 PvP on a large scale, specifically asked for massive battles in a more open world PvP setting. They chose to model it after DAoC instead later instead and then decided to add a whole crap ton of PvE to it that Gw 1 players never asked for. They used DAoC as an influence, but if you have every played DAoC, you would know there is a HUGE difference between that and GW2 WvW as well. GW2 WvW is way more PvE focused and gimmicky. GW1 combat relied more on player skill and less on PvE gimmicks.
Did you play GW 1 or fill out the surveys to understand the difference?

Yes and no.. PvP achievements are still PvP achievements and you rank up in PvP and get PvP finishers in PvP.. WvW has it’s own achievements and things you unlock with WvW ranks. Both PvP and WvW offer dungeon reward tracks though.

Ahhh ok, makes sense. Thanks for the response!
Anytime You can still get good fights in WvW and avoid the PvE stuff and get loot and level up on the reward tracks. Many now just avoid the PvE aspects to the mode and just fight it out anyhow these days. Some servers are better than others for good fights.
I think people that didn’t play Gw1 don’t understand the difference in what is meant by “PvP” from there vs what they did with WvW so it causes confusion.

If you are fighting other players it’s PvP by definition, regardless of whatever Anet calls it.
Yes, you can WvW without fighting other players but that defeats the intent of the game mode. Gear has nothing to do with the type of activity.
If you’re returning player it’s actually a lot worse than it used to be in terms of PvE gear for WvW….
We have these new stats now, similar to Dire gear but they come with Rare Veggies Pizzas installed into the stats, conditions are out of control and in order to have these “fine tuned stats” you will need to grind your kitten off in PvE or follow a WvW ktrain for days before you get your 1st piece of gear.
There’s also Minstrels + Durability Runes.
I mostly play for the new Free-For-All arena in PvP lobby.
….. And Elementalist.
