Guild Wars 2

Hopefully anet does something this year to change WvW rather than just saying “we are working on it” we want more than just holiday sneak peak anet. Looking at this current state of WvW makes me sad and even more sad when I look at the videos of all the fun fights people used to have in Alpline bls. Now everyone is just blobbing in EB and its not even fun anymore ._.

I think their WvW team is really small. When they have to do sneak peak about tiny changes that should have been done a year ago it’s not a good sign.

I don’t know man I have been watching so many videos of old alpline bls and so many roaming videos its just not the same anymore it sucks. They killed roaming and everyone’s zerging ;-; its sad especially with the new meta.

If their WvW team is too small for such changes, then 2016 will be a really bad year for Anet. There are so many mmos out there waiting for RvR players. Eternal Crusade will hopefully make a big step forward and start some kind of beta, Camelot Unchained will propably do the same and there is also Crowfall. A kitten sci fi mmo RvR shooter, a more classic hardcore fantasy RvR mmo and a somewhat fresh RvR mmo…there is something for everyone!

They should wake up or they are going to lose almost the whole current and former WvW players. It’s a shame. WvW was always promoted as a part of the game and as something special but it gets ignored since release.

But they don’t have combat system like guild wars 2

The golden age of WvW. We were noobs, we were baddies, we started forming community and we went out in the open and massive fights were everywhere!

I think that’s one of the biggest factors saving GW2 right now and it seems even that is quickly degenerating. I refrained from commenting on the holiday sneak peek thread because I think it’s pretty insulting that they chose to not actually do anything but rather dangle yet another “soon” carrot and effectively disappear again. Huge red flag.

this video made me miss old borders even more :<

When you’re sailing on the Titanic, rearranging the deck chairs makes it look like you’re doing something….

That video made me search for my old RE videos, before culling was fixed and I upgraded my computer. It was a nice time even with the issues. Anyway a lot of wvw guilds formed off of the roamers wanting bigger fights. Like a snowball rolling down a hill, you roam for awhile everyday seeing the same people. Eventually you all become friends and make a guild. Then you get more organization. The problem is A-net keeps screwing over roamers make small group play difficult. Their is no build up in wvw only the few and proud hardcore wvwers.

Oh! that’s a really good one.

Those days were so good when fights were actually fun. Right now fights are so kitten boring with all the blobbing in eb its just boring now.

The WvW team was big enough to totally destroy the game mode.
If only there had never been a WvW team , then we’d still have 2012 style WvW.

And this is for those who loved roaming ^^
Pick your class… or watch them all!!!

The temporary bands of pve devs assigned to WvW you mean?

That’s true but the combat system won’t save WvW. There is only one reason why haven’t quit GW2 up to now: there are no WvW or GvG mmos I would enjoy so the combat system is enough to keep me playing – more or less.

I think their WvW team is really small. When they have to do sneak peak about tiny changes that should have been done a year ago it’s not a good sign.

Considering their WvW players spend more on the game than both PvE and PVP players combined, you would think that would be where the majority of their money is spent. Think about it:
1)PVE players do not need to buy gold, they farm it.
2) PvP players do not need to buy gold, they don’t use it to play PvP.
3) WvW is not self sustaining so WvW players need to buy gold just to maintain playing it, if they don’t ever farm PVE, they usually buy gold instead from Anet.
4) PvP and PvE players have no need to change servers. WvW players do and it is very expensive to move guilds to other servers, and many guilds have done so repeatedly.
5)PvE and PvP players have no need for multiple accounts, WvW players do if they wish to play on multiple servers to prevent stale game play for WvW. In order to fight against different players rather than fight the same people, every day, every week.

WvW players are the ones who spend the most $$ on the game, but are ironically the most neglected.

I don’t think any real changes will be for the better. It’s apparent the ANET crew simply does not understand WvWers. There is a vid of someone from ANET saying that WvWers enjoy PvE. So, we have scribing for WvW upgrades and a PvE event dead center of the borderlands.

People tend to ignore (or actively dislike) things they don’t understand. I think WvWers feel ignored and disliked by ANET. There may be a few on the WvW team at ANET that “get it”, but they have to answer to people who don’t.

In the end, I think 2016 will be just as bleak for WvW as prior years, and most likely worse. We now have borderlands maps that are anti-WvW and it will stay that way. Instead of 1 active map and 3 semi-active maps, we have 1 active map and 3 empty maps. I don’t see how Guild Wars is an appropriate name for this game anymore when all ANETs efforts go into PvP (single/small combat), and PvE.

That is NOT “someone from Anet” the guy in the video is MIKE O’BRIEN the CEO of Anet. So the problem with WvW is how upper management think about it. I think there are at least some Devs that have the right ideas, but Mike O’Brien and Co. have other ideas and those ideas are the ones that we get…

Of course, most money per player and dev cost = most neglected.
#Anet logic.

CEO for absolutely no reason, I don’t u understand how people can be incompetent at what the company they are CEO of does and reach that position…

Anet was founded by 3 people, including Mike.

I think I now know why the other 2 left and created other companies.

Looking at all these red guard and TA videos made me cry and smile a little :,)
