Guild Wars 2

..and we all just karma trained around the maps and just ignored all the zerg fights.

Then maybe, WvW would get the re-work it needs.

Then we have another EotM where people start to cry loud if they see an AC

You described EotM…

Did EotM received any changes? No, right? So it won’t work…

Too late…as for as I can tell most players stopped defending 6-12 months ago and not just on EoTM either.

Even with this tournament, its still mainly karma train on all maps.

Two words: Match Manipulation

What you described is either late Thursday nights or Friday.

I think this is a great idea. However, it would be very difficult to make.

If this happened, maybe Anet would have to do something and there would actually be incentive to win in WvW.

Some servers already doing this in WvW….most of time is only on the last wvw day

When the matchup is pretty much decided, there is absolutely no reason to spend money on upgrades and siege to defend…

But I belive he meant if we just K-Train the whole week, like people do in EotM…

Certainly not happening here. Fearsome fights for all key locations. We spent 2-3 hrs trying to get into a paper briar with 50ish defenders yesterday, while they spent the time trebling our t3 Bay! Our numbers were far fewer I hasten to add! And that was in the middle of the day.

Friday PM is about the only karma train time – once all is firmly settled – not sure we will even get that this week! It’s gonna be close!

2014 obviously will be: Match Manipulation.

T1 and EoTM, including many other tiers in certain weeks was/is already “two ships passing in the night” two zergs passing by each other in order to move to the next pvdoor; and nothing has been fixed.

There has and will likely always been more emphasis put on players vs siege/walls/door than there will ever be on players vs players (read: open field engagements for the sake of pvp).

If this is true, move to EU silver. No sign of that here. And no sign of it when i fought gold league servers on AG before season 2.

#BGtears is also very close to Match Manipulation in these forum nowadays.

That’s how it is now.

RlyOsim.2497:

if only there was a competing product that offered a similar, if not more advanced version of gw2 wvw….

the devs really need to wake up.

TESO is already out. One of the devs from DAoC (the original 3-way RvR concept that GW2 borrowed) was involved.

CU (Camelot Unchained) being developed by the other dev responsible for DAoC is due out in the 2015/early 2016 time frame. Complete with an ugraded version of DF (Darkness Falls dungeon which incorporates 3-way battle). There are lot of players waiting to see what that game will bring and if can recapture some of the original magic of RvR.

Not sure the former mentioned made a difference. Not sure the latter will either.

ANet will continue to (determinedly) go its own way.

This is not an endorsement of any of the above, including GW2.
