Guild Wars 2

Why do we have the giant blue flowers in WvW? It’s not in any way relevant to WvW and it interferes with the “game type.” I get that you want to force us into the living story that the rest of us have ignored, but perhaps don’t put it in a place that’s so in the way. How many people that actively WvW actually do any of this content instead of run past it?

I think it’s to remind everyone that PvE content is still out there and maybe they should check it out sometime.

That said, Wintersday interference was worse. I still remember laughing while watching roamers getting rolled by toy princesses

No one wants that stuff in WvW… Its down right ridiculous. There’s no way to justify it either. The game is made for the players, and the players don’t want the living story pve stuff in WvW… so remove it please. It takes enough time to defend yaks already vs the enemy teams and the stupid animals that attack yaks. we really don’t need nor want the additional attention to the yaks. Please make it all go away and never return. If people wanted to be doing living story.. They would be. Don’t force us to do stuff we clearly aren’t interested in doing.

It’s not like they are at important key locations… It’s not like there is some random thing spewing out uber powerful hostile mobs right in front of your base cough wintersday cough
They are neatly in some unimportant corner of the map and I don’t mind them being there at all.

Get rid of it please. All WvWers have to do to experience is go to the relevant area and do it there.

Living story has no place nor relevance in WvW. End of. I don’t want PvE in my WvW, and vice versa. This is NOT a, “well maybe chocolate and peanut butter will be a great mix,” type of situation here. The hard core WvW’ers want absolutely nothing to do with Living Story within WvW. If we had an interest, we’d go there. Don’t hold us at some invisible gunpoint and be all, “you WILL like Living Story!” Cause frankly, a lot of us don’t.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve stated again again that I love the fact that the Devs are still putting out new content, and doing so at such a great pace. Seeing as we’ve had regular content since Southsun Cove. It’s irritating however that I feel forced to be involved, due to the fact that said content is now now all up in WvW. Let apples be apples, and oranges be oranges. The two are not mixed into juice for a reason lol.

Been to EBG recently? They’re smack dab in the middle of the mercenary camps. And unlike the BL mercenaries, the EBG ones are actually relevant to the gameplay tactically.

Then nevermind, I typically don’t bother sitting through the EBG queue.

I haven’t been bothered by them in BL, but they aren’t intrusive (the EB ones could be perceived that way).

Have to admit, it was funny when Toxic Coutiers started wailing on garrison in BG BL the other night.

Wish I had gotten a screenshot.

It needs to go! The end.

Need more princesses.

You have to remember WvW = PvE (or PvD) with a litte bit of PvP to make it remotely exciting.

I heartily disagree with this statement. It’s all in how you play WvW. I solo-roam and do little more than player kill and snip zerg tails, so for me it’s very much PvP. Also, it’s not watered down like sPvP is with items, auto-balancing, and such.

There aren’t any BL mercenaries anymore.

But everyone love PvE man.

Well, the living story content in WvW this time, allows you to still WvW all the time, and obtain the item for your home instance.

You can complete the meta in WvW, without having to go out in PvE to do it.

I really think that people need to quit complaining about everything. Sometimes, you should think before complaining.

No it doesn’t. The End.

This, this, this. A million times THIS! Get this out of EBG, PLEASE!

Or, Anet needs to let WvW be WvW… I’m complaining cause these toxic kittenholes are killing our dolyaks, dropping sentries, and as previously mentioned making the mercenary camp capping/swapping a serious pain in the butt. Those first two also meaning they’re disrupting our map movements by spreading false info on the map. Say a sentry drops suddenly near the Danelon camp. Players may drop what they’re doing and then rush to that camp, expecting an attack. Only to wait, and wait, and wait uselessly, or find these guys standing on the road. I’ve seen it. They really like that Langor tower sentry in particular.

By all means go into one of those EBG merc camps with 3 people or less and tell me it’s not annoying.

Interestingly enough this is most likely caused by the fact that some WvW:ers complained about being unable to finish Living Story Achievements/Dailies in WvW.

Kitten if you do, kitten if you don’t.

I get putting it in there to satisfy that few. However, they put in EBG in such a way, as stated above, that is truly disrupting the play! Having living story kill our yaks, screw with the mercenaries, take out our sentries; that is just over the top, especially during leagues.

I am sure they wont take it out now, no matter how much we ask, beg, or complain. However, hopefully they will listen and never do this to us again. Add Living Story if you want, but put it in areas that dont actually involve our camps, sentries, towers, dolyaks, etc. Put it over by grub, tree spirit, etc. Put it near the other pve stuff that is already in WvW. But please dont have PvE actually interfere with our WvW.

Thanks

Well, the dollies are supposed to be protected after all.
So I would personally say that the part about them attacking dollies is actually good ^^

I don’t mind the presence of flowers, even. Just move them a little away from the mercenary camps so I can run through without them easier. The big problem is the random spawning of toxic folks elsewhere on the map.

And to those of you that say WvW players asked for this, I don’t know how many ACTUALLY cared. A small group asked for it, Anet said yes. The majority of WvW players I know have no idea what the living story is. Those that do are completing it in PvE because it is by all means easier to complete in PvE. Also, considering the queues that the higher (and therefore more important) tiers are complaining about, I would think that completing the living story in WvW is the least of their worries, what with the time they have to spend in PvE waiting for their queue to pop.
