Guild Wars 2

I was hoping to generate convo about roaming. it seems like eotm has GREAT roaming potential, but it is ovwewhlemed by zergs. regular wvw maps can work if i move to a low population server. right now i am in JQ and it is ok but still feels crowded.

i was hoping to have a map that felt like its purpose was minor objectives with small groups being favored. like a lot of camps that dont require seige.

as i write this it sounds like pvp, but the bigest differnce is that i want my death to be VERY significant. in pvp you respawn and jump back into the action, while in wvw you have to run back to the objective. fights are more decisive.

on mobile appologize for spelling and capitolozation

Another thing to hope for in the WvW revamp that’s supposed to be coming up soon. A really big map with lots of camps/outposts that is not designed for long (if any) siege. Persistent PvP. Maybe on a swamp map. Hey, sounds a lot like Hossin for Planetside 2… awesome!

Nice dream. Considering there hasn’t been a wvw dev for over six months and the ‘new’ BL map just got shoved at us (a spare LS3/sequel to Dry Top map converted for wvw), we’re not going to get anything any time ‘soon’.

As for roaming, you can go ‘roaming’ in any BL map anytime of the day- just don’t expect to find any enemies to fight with.

I know there are plenty of naysayers and yaysayers about the WvW dev status, but considering Anet’s told people they’ve been working on a big update for more than eight months, let’s just hope that it’s still coming. I’ll enjoy sitting on the positives rather than crying my way through the next few weeks until we find out whether it’s happening or not!

That aside, I’d say it’s still coming, because you don’t put resources and money into eight months of update unless you’re going to release it in some form or another. Is it a late update? Kind of, yeah. But hopefully it’s at least a nice band-aid to patch over the current status.

Oh, and the trick with BL roaming is that it isn’t (seriously) possible. The fact that no one is there means all the upgrades are – and unless you’re roaming with 5+ other people, there’s no way in hours and hours that you’re going to get anywhere. xP

I was really hoping that EotM would be that. or maybe something like obsidian sanctuaty (lol).

I am personally looking forward to the updates to WvW, becuase i think they they are going to change the server vs server aspect and potentially change everything to a broader aproach. But we shall see what happens.
