Guild Wars 2

Hey people

After being away from GW2 for several months, I decided to play again a few days ago.

I remember the forums and in-game chat to be full of negativity, people were very unsatisfied by the PvP experience.

As a PvP’er, I immediately went to check out the new WvW map.

I had so much fun seriously, the map is alot better than the horribly boring vanilla WvW maps. I love the objectives, the verticality, and the different themes throughout the map.

Most of all I liked the smaller fights that I had during my playtime. The structure of the Edge of the Mists somehow encourages not only zergs but also smaller groups of players. Plenty of times I would fight for more than 5 minutes straight (a long time when fighting) small group vs. small group. Sometimes even for 15 because we kept killing and they kept coming. The only thing wrong now is the semi-frequent crashes I get (every hour or so).

Most fun I’ve had PvP’ing in a while.
WvW in Guild Wars has so much potential i can’t believe the Devs don’t make good use of it.
But still, thanks Anet

To me it just sounds like you like smaller fights which i’ve always felt to be the PvP side of GW2, but with the huge reaction WvW has had not only in GW2 but the spread of influence into other games like TESO it would be called a success. I personally love 20v20 fights and WvW is the only place I can get that if not a bit bigger.

The new map is more PvE friendly as there are mini missions on the side etc, so for someone like you I can understand why you would like it so stick with it, but i would not say “WvW in Guild Wars has so much potential i can’t believe the Devs don’t make good use of it.” because I feel they are doing extremely well with WvW. The only recent complaints to the true WvWers is we want acct bount wxp and to keep the PvE out xD

Eotm is a good “in between” map. In other words, it is not WvW and not PvE, but a mix in the middle. It is basically a huge group of people running around killing NPCs (the PvE side) while occasionally fighting real people (the WvW side).

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of it since I prefer smaller group fights where CC doesn’t kill you . I also prefer the “personality” of my own server vs the mix of people in an eotm map.
