According to Devon Carver the announcements about the upcoming Feature Pack will also cover news about the next WvW tournament. It seems to be very close.

We need something to fill the gap until Season 2 continues.

God I hope not. When will they learn that the Season WvW matches are an utter failure and until they have WvW in a better state, it’s just going to worsen the experience and drive more people away.

I assume this is the “prepare to fight” announcement.

Do you think they’ll announce that they fixed the rewards from season 1? ^^

Haha. A good interview for once. The questions were okay and Devon responded the best he could. Many of them were questions that Devon would probably love to have an answer to, such as the “Rewarding scouts and defenders” one, but they are very difficult problems to solve.

about rewards . the reward and the accomplish of a mission like when i am running a dolly is there but only gives exp now . why not give some karma or coppers to attract more uplevel characters on these “easy” missions ?

I gotta say, that interview was disappointing. When the interviewer asked if there was going to be an improvement to the current game objectives which is capturing and holding points instead of using the Orb of Power which was more like capture the flag, the response was just plain sad.

There is a shelf life to every game. WvW needs a change of focus. By that, I don’t mean intentional focus by Devs, rather I mean player focus. The Devs can do this by implementing changes and rewards for actual PvP combat and play rather than PvE content in a PvP game mode.

Can’t wait to see which Servers/Tiers they allow Free transfers to so that people can stack on there to win the best rewards once again.

You’re dang freaking right it was. I was able to play WvW as usual and earn two dang ascended earrings from that crap. Plus our server didn’t have to face the same opponents over and over and over again.

Free loot plus a change of pace in gameplay? Bring that crap back!

This is that new sound. Ya’ll ain’t ready.

I havent seen the video

But what about creating an orb at the keeps , where ppl can interact with it ?
Controlling a mini orb that has 2 fuctions :
a) Normal attacks > ppl can particiate in the zergs , while their physical bodies stays on the keeps (they get 45% less rewards from the capture of the keeps and in the time of needs , they can stop the cotrol of the orb and defend the keep with their normal bodies )

b) Like the EoTM ‘’Spirit of Light’’ ppl can scout and ’’tag’’ ppl or zergs and show them in the minimap . The more ppl you have tag > a bar will fill up and give you the ‘’Keep Defender Rewards’’ (ofc the rewards they will less , than zerging > but they offer more EXP for low lvl characters)
Edit" Or they can cast Freeze Trap or Slow traps or do Aoe Cleanse and be used to Teleport suplies or hold more suplies , where ppl can right click them and resuplied themselfs

Edit 2: The enemy roamers , would be pleased to roam the maps and kill them for some slightly loots :P

It will give you time to actually fix core WvW issues.

No it wasn’t. It might have been good for you and your server but for everyone else we were either paired up against the same servers we’ve always been fighting or servers that had considerably less coverage than us. To make matters worse, the servers we fought now had more incentive to do the ppt game. So, it was boring matches of playing against more ac’s and more chasing running zergs that refuse to fight.

If you can’t balance EotM and you can’t balance WvW, having another season is just more of the same…

Coverage/Population>>>>>>Skill

Unless you organize a 2v1, this hasn’t changed since release.

Even with 2v1 some matchups are still going to be one sided (the 1 will still horribly beat the 2).

“We’ve got some ideas on how to fix the balance problem, and its something we hope to discuss at some point but not yet”.
(so basically at least 2 more years?)
Why not give us some info on those ideas and let us try to help make the game balance/coverage? We may be able to think of a way to break or improve on what they’re thinking about.

Also, yeah, woohoo a new tournament

video full of crap from Devon.
They take WvW serious? NO.
WvW have steady population – doesnt matter how devs try to kill wvw
Important from Anet to keep the engagement and community involved? Yeah check all red posts in last 6 months that say something different than: dont post or you will be banned or we wont say anything

edit: ok if you wanna hear how devs think about wvw: go to 11:00 and listen carefully
they started discussion how they can think about tackling about rewards.

So in last 2 years they did not even thought about that its a problem and they can at least think about changing it. They think about if they should think about it.
Yup, soon (10 years probably)

new map: from what Devon said, they are only thinking they may sometimes in future make new map. But for now they are not doing anything and in future they want to sit and discuss possibility of new map.
That means with his announcement that EOTM took 9 months, we wont see any new map in next 2 years.

Any chance we can see some EMP obelisk that halves the Points of each Keep that gives to their server , in order to help the solo-roamers players ?

You need to plant 3 bombs at various places around the Keep (max 2500 range-so ppl will leave their comfort safe zone and ‘’force 1v1’’) .
When placed , they get into stealth .

As long those 3 traps exist , you will some some minor Rewards every 2 min .

If you are smart you can ’’subotage’’ 2 Keeps in the same time and travel between them to kill any defender that tries to diactivate them.

At the enemy Keep theres a workshop that offer for free some trap detectors with 2 fuctions : a) scan a 800 range sonar and b) decamouflage the traps , so you can DPS them down .

At a UI an additional message shows up with :‘’Point A – 33% of traps operetional’’ (if only 1 traps remaines active) .
If more ppl will try to create more obelisk > they will dissapera tand they get the rewards and the UI message of the 1st player that placed them .

Or if it possible for 1 person to create an ‘’untrustworthy tunnel’’ near the walls of each keep (like the Eotm worm’s istant teleporter tunnel) , where only 3 ppl can pass throught it , before it colapse . Afterwards they will say it on the ‘’General channel’’ about it and the Commanders will ask their mesmers to pass throught it and create a portal for the zerg

They do need to make the seasons a bit shorter, Season 2 went for 2-3 weeks too long, people were fine originally but those last couple of weeks caused some burnout. No need to be so long.

I’m of two minds about it. While I do think S2 went on for a bit too long, I do also appreciate having a good long period of time to complete all the achievements in without having to stress about it.
