Guild Wars 2

There’s plenty of WvW issues, but is there any signs or hints anywhere regarding when or how WvW will get some dev attention? All the other game modes are getting updates (even if balancing and class bugfixing is glacially slow), but apart from disabling orbs there’s been no sign of any sort of significant dev input into wvw though afaik.

There was a post mentioning lots of major features and overhauls for WvW, don’t think there was an ETA though.

Still, I’m optimistic. WvW is one of the most whined-about things about the game and there is no way Anet doesn’t know this.

According to the Guildwars2guru State of the Game interview there won’t be a patch with PvP/WvW related updates until january – march 2013. That might explain why we don’t hear anything. It’s still far off.

One must consider that these few months have been heavy-content months – Halloween week, Lost Shores, and soon-to-be-Wintersday. They can’t do everything at once. Sure there will be people who say it’s more important to make what’s already out there bug-free and enjoyable, but this is how they choose to prioritize and honestly you can’t fault them.

Yeah I can. Carebear kitten is kittening boring.

Totally agree. You can’t please everybody.

PvE content needs to constantly updated or people will be bored and quit. PvP needs to be updated because they want to turn this into an eSport.

What is WvW for? its probably the best option they have in game IMO but it was never intended to have a major function. Thus, low on the priority list of things to update.

If all they did was focus on fixing bugs and not implement new content for the western gamers with the attention span of gold fishes to lap up, all those numpties would quit the game.

Shhhhhh guys.
Dont say the truth or the topic will be closed for “Rudeness”

WvW people are third class citizens in this game. We are a PvP zone, but considered PvE. So when stuff is ‘fixed’ for PvP, that don’t include us and when stuff is done for PvE, it don’t include us either.

We are the red-headed stepchildren of GW2. Accept it.

Hello,

As explained before, our teams are working on improving all aspects of the game, including World versus World.

However, we can’t keep you updated about this personally. You will be informed in the News and Announcements sub-forum when new features or contents will be implemented.

Thank you.
