Guild Wars 2

Now that linking / population balance, scoring, rewards, & abl/dbl fixes have been put in place. What do you think the next update should be? Please let’s not argue about the previous updates here, there are threads for each of them. For me the most pressing update would be:

1. Class balance / skill balance

2. Minor updates that were previously mentioned , cross map chat & weekly rewards for winning.

1. Skill lag
2. FPS drops and horrible optimization overall

But yeah, that’s not happening.

I’d like a new bl also but that would put to many much need updates on hold.

It is not happening, as a WvW poll, because both of those are issues with game wide systems. Any changes to them happen on the backend and impact the entire game. Even if they manifest and are most visible in WvW.

Next update needs to be fixing the code causing the game fatal errors and crashing over the last few days that numerous players have been experiencing since one of the updates this week..

WvWvW is still lacking when it comes to rewards.

The WvWvW reward tracks are very nice, but they progress slower than the spvp ones. Why WvWvW reward progress should be slower?!?

The reward tracks are mostly filled with utterly useless loot. I mean utterly. How many thousands more tomes of knowledge I need to click through? And how many more green gear salvage? Players want materials, especially the materials needed to make ascended ones. WvWvW is lousy source of tier2-tier4 materials. I really don’t care about rare or exotic, unless it has a good looking skin. Ascended is the only way to go.

There is still lack of things you can purchase with WvWvW related currencies. I got 36k+ badges still unused and like 1600 proofs of heroics, thinking what an earth to do with them.

Please give WvWvW players more reasons to come to WvWvW! The recent decision to remove crafting stations was surely a move towards wrong direction. Instead of giving us less reasons to come to WvWvW, give us way to obtain legendary and ascended back item, ascended weapons and armor etc. Now fractals is the easiest way for ascended back piece, but why a WvWvW player should be forced to play fractals for it?!?

Removing crafting was RIGHTdirection. WvW= not a farm. Think of WvW like a basketball game. The incentive to play WvW is to play WvW, just like the incentive to play basketball is to play basketball. You do not want quilters setting up chairs to sit in and quilt in the middle of a basketball game going on. The incentives to play WvW instead should be keeping players engaged in nonstop strategic, challenging, fun PvP action the entire time they are on the map.

To bring players into WvW we need to have our cities server based and a server wide chat implemented. Allow wvw player to recruit from their server again . WvW needs players who get involved in their community on Teamspeak and join their servers websites so they can see what is really going on and not run around missing 99% of what is happening on their server.

Personally I fly through my reward tracks but I do agree… Needs less useless garbage.
Badges/ proofs…. Can’t get enough between scribing and buying siege
As far as incentives to play wvw…. The game is 4 years old and each day more and more people are going to leave…. I’m curious what percent of gw2 players played wvw a year ago compared to now.

The scoring changes that were mentioned haven’t even been fully implemented yet. We’re not done with that, unless there’s been some other post I missed where the devs said “You know that post we made about all the scoring changes we intend to make? Well, forget about it.”

2. Minor updates that were previously mentioned , cross map chat & weekly rewards for winning.

Not arguing, but just pointing out that not all scoring changes are in yet if I remember correctly.

As far as the 2 you mentioned, looks to me like some elements of both are being slipped into WVW in small pieces. Major balancing changes will most likely go in live with major balancing changes to other parts of the game, not just WVW, so this may take a long while due to coordination of different teams.

Though of course that is just my speculation and it makes sense to me, may or may not be necessarily true.

Scoring update is still being worked on, skirmish scoring system.

Class balance, skill balance isn’t really in wvw team hands it seems, but the spvp team.

QoL changes like cross map chat will be brought back up on the next major project poll, when scoring changes are done.

Reward tracks are the same as the spvp tracks. It would be nice if wvw was rewarding enough that you could skip pve for the most part for stuff like guildhall upgrades, but I doubt that would ever happen.

Use your badges and proof of heroics on siege? or proof of heroics to buy all the recipes on the notary? they’re in your wallet not taking up bank space so who cares?

Optimization is not exactly the wvw teams job, they can relay the problems but I don’t think they’re in charge of the server backend. Lag has been present from day one, it will always be present when a mass amount of players are in an area. The only times I ever experience skill lag these days is in massive smc fights, but not always.

Also keep in mind
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/List-of-Upcoming-WvW-Polls/first

Hey guys, below is a list of upcoming polls you are likely to see, in roughly the order you are likely to see them.

• World Linking Schedule – How often should we relink worlds? DONE
• Desert Borderlands – Should the map be removed indefinitely? DONE
• Repair Hammer – Do you want to be able to spend supply to repair siege?
• Deployable Mortars – Do you want to be able to buy and deploy Mortars?
• Deployable Cannons – Do you want to be able to buy and deploy Cannons?

Special Mention

• WvW Priorities – What do you want the WvW team to prioritize next?
  We’ll run this poll after completing major milestones with whatever feature last won the Prioritization vote. So in this case: Scoring Improvements.

So far I expect QoL changes, and creating a new map, will be on the next priority poll.

@, expect balance where classes are mediocre to be nerfed, to mke some metas even more noticiable stronger and carry more players due how gimmicks are way stronger than no gimmick builds.(Anet has done this on the past so why not keep repeating same mistakes? they are good at that…).

@2. Adition of some more update that will anoy players even more spam chest that fulls your inventory when you are AFK, to avoid players quit the game.

^expecting something like this cause it is the kind of updates Anet does….
