Guild Wars 2

So, the PvP team is announcing all the work they’ve done this year. It was nice to see all the effort and the upcoming changes.

Are we going to see something similar from the WvW team? There haven’t been many announcements this year and it feels like minimal work has been completed to date. It would be nice to see some deliverables or an announcement of something upcoming.

Dev goals WvW 2015

1) start CDI for population balance
2) start CDI for scoring
3) start CDI for New map ideas

three is a stretch goal.

Have to hire a WvW team before you can have them do something.

Gvg please, but don’t kitten it up.

From super secret info leak i can tell there are no planed WvW updates till 2016.

Have fun.

They really care about PvP, yet the update will almost certainly be disappointing. They don’t care at all about WvW, so don’t expect any improvement.

If they put GvG in the expansion they won’t have to update WvW much. They make it allow for 3 different match sizes (10s, 15s, and 20s); then balance it so that combat > gimmicks….
WvW would look a lot different even 1 month later in terms of who’s playing, and how they are playing.

Whoa whoa whoa, slow down there. I’m pretty sure the 2015 WvW goals are to agree on a process for doing CDIs better. WvW CDIs won’t be ready until 2016.

No thanks. If anet is gonna add gvg it better be the gw1 version.

No, I do believe that Anet honestly thinks they can complete the process and get those CDIs out in 2015. What you are staying is the difference between goals and reality. That said, 2016 is gonna be a banner CDI year! I can feel it.

Hey we haz multiple commander tags and also dont forget, testing this mode without white swords upcoming, exciting dontcha think.

2015 WvW updates:
Start CDI threads again for 3rd time and hope no one notices.

I went to a “meet & greet” with ANet in 2013. The entire group of people there were asking about guild halls, guild capes, GvG, all things that people wanted.

They basically had a long the most junior engineer (looked like he was still pubescent) and threw him under the bus to answer those questions (no answers).

They want to do creative storytelling that promotes Seattle cultural aesthetics while showcasing Dociu’s artwork. Things like engaging large scale PvP is not on their list.
Also, they haven’t given up on E-sports for SPvP have they?

Coming in 2015: Siege Disabler Mastery

Best idea ever. But what would be the 5 things to upgrade. :P??

Extra range, let say +300
Larger AOE +60
50% of time is unblocable
50% more disable time on golems

Yeeees good things coming 2015.

PS by end of spring there wont be any WvW players left.

Coming in 2015: Siege Disabler Mastery

Increased Radius
Additional damage to siege 10-12k
Increase Siege Disable Duration
Invulnerable for 6 seconds after using
%50 Less supply consumption

Stop giving them ideas….
Just need one good mmo with good pvp and gw2 wvw/pvp will die. Everyone is coming back from AA since that turned out to be bad…

Hmmmm doesn’t look like… Mag still a ded sevr…

I don’t even have expectations anymore, yet I’m sure they’re going to disappoint me somehow.

Everyone is exaggeration but most will come back. People will probably transfer to T1/T2 instead of trying to rebuild Mag cuz it will require 100s of people to coordinate to do that.

They goal for 2015 is to close WvW as a game mode. At the rate people are quitting I would say they’re doing a great job.

T1 part of wvw is working well. Maybe they will cut it down to a kind of pvp team on a larger scale
