Guild Wars 2

Ten Suggestions that are desperately needed
1. Now that we have EOTM as an overflow reduce the maximum number of players each server can field in world vs world. If your server is super stacked either go to EOTM and wait out your que or destack on a lower pop server. Why do this? It will even the playing field.

A. This creates an even playing field for all servers in a match up.
B. This gives players an incentive to destack and servers to balance out.
C. This gives players something to do while they wait.

2. Change the way points are gained a cross between the SPVP system of rewarding points for kills of other players and change Point captures to a 1 time thing. When a tower is captured that is 10 points not 10 points every 10 minutes. This system still rewards you for capturing the point, but prevents players from night capping and things ticking all night long. If you want to keep the old system scale it back to 10 points every hour or so. There are so many good reasons why this is a good idea.

A. This allows people to play for kills and not just points.
B. This prevents matches from becoming run aways with no way to come back.
c. This prevents matches to be decided by coverage. Without penalizing people that play off hours.

3. Stop having Seasons unless you are going to come up with rules. What type of contest that everyone should have a shot at winning is a contest where not everyone has a shot at winning and people can cheat by stacking transferring to other servers to stack and guarantee wins.

A. This creates a sporting environment. Sports have rules you know.

4. Give players a reason to win World vs World. Currently there is not much incentive to win other than to say yeah we won.

5. Please implement a raiding system like found in PVE in other games for World Vs World. And extend LFG to World Vs World.

6. Please Implement more ways to spend badges on things players want ascended and skins and stuff.

7. The maps could use a make over without changing the terrain.

8. Implement GvG but so players can use PVE gear and stats.

9. Implement an Alliance system.

10. Do something about arrow carts they are OP.

1. Could be interesting to see the map cap reduced to something like 40 to 50. This won’t end up the “map blob”, but you know, at least it is not 60-70.

1.a. This would make it a bit more even, but I still doubt its very even play field most of the time out of tier 1 and maybe tier 2.

1.b. WvW guilds who want to play around their prime time might move, but on the other hand a lot of them are moving already around, so I doubt this would change much.

1.c. This won’t give players something to do while they wait, EotM did that. This will force more players into EotM and less can get into borderlands “for real WvW”.

2. Maybe change it a bit, but not that much. Otherwise trying to get objective will be useless and actually dangerous for points. And tick counts for around 65% – 75% of total points, you can check gw2score.com for that.

Maybe change tick to 20 minutes and so that you won’t get points from the first tick so you have to hold the objective for the whole tick to get point. This would prevent just rolling over border and getting good tick points because the other teams have a lot larger time spawn to take back and negate the points.

3. The seasons was kinda meh, so something should be done but what, that I don’t know.

4. This actually would promote stacking as the objectives to qualify for the reward wouldn’t be that high because of the one week span you need to obtain them and PvE guys would whine how hard it is to qualify for the WvW reward farm

5. Making the commander system at least a bit better would be enough for this. Guild commander tags and different colors for multiple tags on map would be nice.

6. Yes, I want to see couple sets for all the armor types through WvW only. But then I would look like everyone else, hmm. Make them a bit ugly so not many want them and I can be unique, Yey!

7. Not quite sure what you mean with this one. Change map without changing terrain? So you want minor changes to make it a bit more interesting field to fight I suppose. Sounds good but changing the map always brings new problems in my opinion.

8. Obsidian Sanctum now has “arena”. It’s a bit robust system to do it, but you can do it. Can’t gvg your own server mates sadly, but still nice place to do it.

9. Interesting idea, but what people would benefit out of this? Alliance chat maybe? Would be interesting, but has a bit danger to flood the chat window.

10. Rams are OP with the mastery. AC’s are kinda bad when stacked up as well, but rams are a bit more problematic in my opinion. Not gonna say anything about golems because yea… golems…

I think the forums are a bit tired of “How to fix WvW” posts for a while.

they said they don’t even know if they’ll do a season 2 and if they do, they don’t know when, but yeah for the most part this sounds like every other “pls improve wvw 4 me” thread

2 alone would go a ridiculously long way in balancing WvW.

1 is also a good idea but I think some sort of transfer system needs to be incorporated so that people don’t have to spend the ludicrous 1800 gems it takes to transfer.

Someone needs to read the “How to give good feedback” thread.

Making demands will only get your thread ignored.

Remove all enemy nameplates.

Ten Suggestions that are desperately needed

* it is better to soft cap the population according to the DEFENDERs numbers,
so the invaders will not be able to huge zergblob the whole map in low population world or off-time .

Eternal Battlegrounds map should remain the same because war is unfair.

2. Change the way points are gained a cross between the SPVP system of rewarding points for kills of other players and change Point captures to a 1 time thing. When a tower is captured that is 10 points not 10 points every 10 minutes. This system still rewards you for capturing the point, but prevents players from night capping and things ticking all night long. If you want to keep the old system scale it back to 10 points every hour or so. There are so many good reasons why this is a good idea.

*this is actually a bad idea, because this will just make the enemy zergs stand peacefully near a tower and capping it in turns , it is better to have the “defend the xxx” event to reward some WXP to make it as profitable as capping the objective

4. Give players a reason to win World vs World. Currently there is not much incentive to win other than to say yeah we won.
* agree, my suggestion to implement full scale 1 hour invade to the losers world on reset night stays.

5. Please implement a raiding system like found in PVE in other games for World Vs World. And extend LFG to World Vs World.
* not sure what “raiding system” is but maybe hard capping squads to 25 man company or 50 man regiment, where you make two types of commanders company commander and regiment commander (which requires WvW rank 100 and another 100 gold) will help

also think that players should not see the whole squad grid on the GUI, but seeing your squad mates on the map in purple/pink/green dots is required.

9. Implement an Alliance system.
* why? what will it achieve? guilds today make alliances and use same teamspeak , share commanders etc…
