Guild Wars 2

Hey forum.

So I played pretty obsessively for the first few weeks, and WvW seemed to have some of the best PvP I’d seen since WAR. However, due to a multitude of reasons (college, bullkitten Orb ninjaing and a feeling that there wasn’t a real ‘point’ to WvW) I quit the game for a bit.

However, I’m considering coming back (after the bullkitten that the Darkfall team pulled today), but I wanna know if ANet has started (as all MMO’s seem to) focus almost entirely on the PvE section.

Specifically, have they:

1. Fixed the orb problem (that they gave ridiculous bonuses to servers that snagged them).

2. NOT added new PvE armor that will force WvW players to farm dungeons to be on par.

3. Given WvW a “goal” or “point” aside from just moving up the rankings.

4. Fixed the horrid zerg problem, i.e. you can’t accomplish ANYTHING with a zerg of players.

5. Fixed the siege limit exploit.

6. Fixed any other problems that I can’t think of off the top of my head.

I appreciate any answers*!

EDIT: *

1. Yes, they fixed it, they removed them entirely
2. …of course they did, its called Ascended
3. No, the point is still just gratuitous slaughter and the honour of the server, which suits me fine for the most part
4. Big things like garrisons and castles take zergs, most everything else can be ninja’d in some form or another with about 5-10 ‘not completely stupid’ people if you have to pvdoor something.
5. People will still build rams in places for whatever reason.
6. Culling is still terrible, possibly worse.

They do.

As far as number 2, is they will make the gear accessible through WvW play. They said it being pve only was a mistake that they aim to correct.

As far as how they are changing WvW. They have the sticky thread at the top of the changes for the 14th, which has some nice fixes in it. They also have a major update coming in feb with huge changes to wvw content.

So I would hard pressed to say that anet didnt care at all about wvw.

I was about to stop the install after reading the first guy’s response too 2, but your answer stopped me

I’m kinda bummed that they haven’t fixed the siege exploit (espionage my kitten that’s exploiting the game’s technology) or added a major goal, but I’ll definitely be giving the game and WvW a reroll and see how things go.
