Guild Wars 2

AS a WvW player I’m concerned about the last updates, I can’t figure out what gw2 will be next year.

Can we please have some heads up ?

1a) Are you planning to keep introducing more and more farming content ?
1b) Why do you think it’s necessary for the WvW comunity ?
2) WvW will be even more Pve ?
3) Will you adress the bugs and problematics of day 1 ?
4a) Can you please share your WvW view ?
4b) What are you happy with atm ?
4c) In your opinion, what you need to improve ?
5) Will you ever improve the organized group/guild pvp experience ?

- To the comunity : please, keep it clean, if you dislike my post you can say it in a civil way.

p.s. sorry for my bad english

1a) Yes they will, purely because it´s the only type of content understaffed wvw team can make that keeps people sufficiently busy for the time they need to push out more.
1b) They think more of the pve community really, wvw is etension of pve to them me thinks.
2)Yes, see above.
3)Not for a long time. I´d expect them to slowly work on some of the problems.
4a) Siegewars is description that seems to hold true.
4b) God only knows.
4c) I´d guess they want more arrowcarts (aka. pillow wagens)
5) Not this year i´m afraid, maybe not the next one either. I´ts been made clear that organised groups are a “loud minority”

Just my interpretation of what they could say based on what they´ve done this far.

Wouldn’t it be sweet if they introduced a shedload of champions into WvW and it made into the best place in the game for champion farm and loot (but keep everything that is already part of WvW, too). This would bring in tons of PvE guys and be ridiculous chaos and fun. Farm trains would be running up against enemy farm trains and stuff. Seige being built and used for PvE in WvW. mmhmmm

Many people do not participate in WvW because of the extreme lag they receive. By adding a lot more champs although it would be awesome, yes… It would not bring in a lot of people (well at least not in the long term) as the lag for many would be un-bearable. In fact that could lose many players, ever hard core WvW players:/

I say what must be added to WvW is more variety, More tactics and above all… Some sort of help for the new players that get thrown in at the deep end.

Ps. Commander Rank should be only available in (world v world) to those who has an experienced rank, so that people like me, are not following inexperienced rich boys who think they can run around with a fancy icon and send us all too are doom.

Anubis, they were being sarcastic in regards to champions lol

Try to keep it on topic please, there are already some discussions on Commanders, short answer : Most commander will improve theyr commanding skills, you just need to be patient, after some time you will recognize those who can be trusted and those who can’t.

I actually do think having a lot of champions and PvE farming content roaming around WvW would make it more fun. Or, in another way, put WvW content into the open world. The best farming/loot area should also be an open PvP area (of some kind), I always have liked it when games were like this, there is high danger but high reward.

If WvW also had great PvE content it would be awesome. As was suggested above, though, the reason they don’t do this may simply be technological limitations.

Yesterday in my server’s imbalanced server match, the population dominant server of the three was holding 95%+ of all four WvW maps, and we weren’t making any headway when we would try to ninja in and take anything from them, so a bunch of us just went and started fighting the Arboreal Forest Champion (whatever it’s called), then their huge zerg rolled up on us and killed us all really fast. Then the zerg started killing the Arboreal Champion, but I wanted the loot and to be in on the kill, so I ran back and used stealth to hang out around their zerg, then when Champion was almost dead I jumped in throwing daggerstorm everywhere (actually, clusterbomb would have been smarter) and got my kill hits in on forest champion before the zerg killed me, haha, then I ran back again and got the loot chests.

Point being: the Arboreal Champion aspect of the PvP encounter did add spice to it and make it interesting.

Where is WvW heading?

I think WvW is already great enough.. The biggest problem is system performance, the skill lag kills all the great fights.
