Guild Wars 2

There is a variety of combat to be found; small groups, one v one, zerging, run defense in a tower or just tap on doors and run away.

I play for fun and the fact on my server anyway unlike pve you get to see other people playing and the fights are more engaging.

I play for the joy of camaraderie, the experience of togetherness…. wait what? let me grab my sword and try again…. THIIIIIIS…. IIIIIIIS …… SPAAAAARTAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the stupid meta achievement

I play for the variety of fights, the different strategies, and I do enjoy commanding when I get the chance.

Mostly I do enjoy the heroics of certain situations and the big Zerg on Zerg clashes (especially when my side wins).

I also just generally enjoy being on TS and talking to the people I play with.

It’s different every time. In most of GW2, if you find a way to beat something, it will work every single time until they reprogram the event.

WvW allows multi-group play unlike dungeons and fractals which limit you to 5 players. The social aspects of this when using software like Team Speak is very gratifying.

Not only do you have to use all kinds of tactics that aren’t necessary outside WvW, but there is a strategic aspect as well. What will the enemy do if we take that tower deep inside their territory? Can we use it to attack their keep? With the limited number of players we have on at 3am in the morning, should we go all-out defense, should we put all our eggs in one basket and move fast, or should we split into small teams and take out yaks, camps, sentries, and unguarded towers?

There are ways to progress in WvW that take much longer to max out than PVE. I’m nearly maxed in terms of gear in PVE except I haven’t gotten around to getting an ascended back piece yet or the finer versions of the ascended infusions. In terms of DPS, hitpoints, etc. this shortcoming is fairly trivial. In WvW, abilities like arrow cart mastery, etc. take hundreds or maybe thousands of levels to get them all.

I’ll quit WvW when I loot my precursor. I’ve done pretty much everything there is to do in WvW from soloing towers and keeps(all legit, perma stealth ftw?) to winning a 1v7, but I have never looted a precursor, and godkitten it I won’t quit until I loot one.

Jeydra.4386:

Some people play for PPT, others play for fights, yet others dislike big zergs and prefer roaming or running in havoc squads. What do you play for in WvW?

Seriously, who actually plays WvW for PPT?
