Guild Wars 2

I know I should answer the question, but I really don’t have a good one for GW2.
I just seems like there is less “come together” in WvW than I found in other MMOs.

I can tell you some reasons it may be a bit light:

1) The Seasons concept was a great idea but it often leads to blow outs. When it gets to be a blow out, well, interest wanes. COMPARE TO: a system where you could more easily push the enemy out of your realm or ninja steal a relic and hold onto it with a smaller force etc. Total number tends to favor biggest team.

2) No meaningful small scale win for the smaller team. Again, being total number based versus mission etc, there is no “accomplishment” the smaller team can get when up against overwhelming odds, organization, or whatever you want to call it.

3) Guilds really don’t feel a sense of “ownership”. I can claim something but I don’t feel a real vested interest in my camp/keep etc. Not sure what to do here but maybe a guild bonus structure? Larger bonuses for defending “against all odds” and stacking bonuses for length under your control?

4) No real sense of party v party small scale skirmishing.

I really do want positive ideas on how the game could encourage more realm pride especially when WvW is going totally against you.

Well, for me, you play with a server daily and stick with them for a year, you can’t help but have server pride. You’ve played with, lost with, won with, felt horrible with, and felt elated with all of these people, they’re your people.

That said, I have no idea what you’re saying with (4), maybe it’s just a bronze league thing but I get into party skirmishes day in and day out.

Community helps. It’s the reason I left a lot servers. SoR and Mag have the best imo. I feel like I have to help people I enjoy playing with.

someone is always saying something about my mom when i log into lions arch <3

I feel similarly with what some people have said about community. I’ve suffered losses and tasted victory with my server and I’ve given my life to res 10+ people before being left behind to watch them reach safety countless times. That said, I’d risk my quote-un-quote “life” for a downed soldier so that they can rejoin the fight. I may not know the first thing about half of these people but they make me laugh in chat and they’re my family.
