Guild Wars 2

Now I’m in a small guild, so I don’t have 250 people behind me to go take the main keeps, but on the other-hand i don’t really want 250 people behind me as that is just not fun in my eyes.

Coming from DAoC where the emphasis on PvP came from 8v8 and fighting similarly skilled opponents, I’m finding the PvP here frustrating for a number of reasons, and my guild/friends share the same views as I’m sure a lot of other ‘skilled’ players do.
My groups currently run around avoiding keeps like the plague and occasionally take over a supply camp only to be run over by 50+ people.

SPvP is all well and good, but arena fighting isn’t the same as roaming around a large open space looking for a jump on a group where the element of surprise adds to the adrenaline of the fights.

So I have a few suggestions on what could be done to improve the current WvWvW state for other

• Remove or increase the 5 person max target on AOE so smaller groups can compete v’s large groups (this is a major issue currently when zergs are stacking on top of 1 person to “exploit” this feature)

• Add PvP ranks, Im sure this has been requested 1000’s of times, but people like to have something to aim for.

• In addition to a rank system, reduce the amount of rank points gained from a target for each person that hits the target above 10 people, this way running around as a blob would not be the fastest way to level (but still viable as you will kill many more people)

• Add titles/achievements for smaller scale PvPers, for example: 100,1000,10000 solo kills – this would encourage people to actually run around alone (granted it would be mostly Thieves but soloing takes a great amount of skill and there is no reason to do this currently.

• Add some notoriety to enemy players, again in addition to ranks allow the rank to be shown as the name rather than “xxx server invader” more like “xxx server <rank name>”, atm everyone is anonymous, nobody cares who you killed and kills just don’t have any satisfaction.

I could go on, but id rather play than read forums.
I’m sure this will get overlooked and I’m sure I’ll get flamed for being elitist or something.

And change the downed state so zergs can’t just keep ressing while they roll on down the road chasing your 5 man.

Removing the aoe cap would be great

PvP ranks would also be cool, they wouldn’t have to give bonuses or anything, just something for fun

I wish they’d get rid of the downed state for pvp, but I dont see it happening
