Guild Wars 2

I am very happy with the adrenaline shot WvW receive, and not surprise in the least of all the griping lol. Don’t see how anyone can deny things are way more exciting and on HoD we have seen an enormous influx of players. One improvement I would like to mention is making refreshing siege count towards participation. Also don’t cheapen the achievement, the new backpiece should be a privileged item earned thru hard playing and countless deaths (preferably other player’s deaths);.

I concur. The changes were all very postive and I do hope that some of those new players remain. It has changed quite a bit as there always seems to be more people around no matter the BL.

I’ve thought about refreshing siege as part of participation too before as an incentive for people to do it but there are also inherent problems with abusing that too, for the moment I can’t think of something that might prevent it unless there is something like 1 refresh per siege for it’s countdown duration (so individual cannot spam participation) per tower/keep/area (this would be tricky in open field so maybe only applies to siege at keeps, towers or sm). Maybe someone else can figure a better way to implement it. In the end I think just leaving it alone as is and just educating the players is the way to go but this is easier done than said because people get lazy over time, see it happen frequently. In the end I can only trust myself to do it and only a handful of people which cannot always be there. I think this is ok in a way because it’s up to the servers players responsibility to do it, and if they don’t they risk things by not doing it (I’m seeing mostly the server loyal people doing it). Newer players don’t care though but they do love pulling tactivators that’s for sure…

Completely agree. Wvw has been a ton of fun since the patch, despite the huge queues at times.

Although, I find the entire pip system pointless. It will be popular for a month or two, and then the players who truly spend all their time in wvw won’t give a hoot about it, if they ever did.

I am no hardcore wvw player. I am just casual and low level, but it is the main thing I do. I already find the entire pip system pointless. (Ok, some of the guild decorations are cool, if your guild is into that)

Maybe when the loyalty bonuses actually happen, and someone gets a free legendary, then I might go, “WTF!!??!!”

All kidding aside, I think that the wvw update has been very successful, overall.
It has brought a ton of people out into wvw.

Now, if they would just update and add some servers to handle the lag of the added players…..well, yea, that would be cool.
