These days I treat the joke that is WvW/GW2 like one step up the rung from minesweeper, so I play it (mostly WvW) when I need a break from work, because it is brainless, low skilled and I can play for 15 mins then go back to working, doesn’t matter if I need to stop for a phone call or need to go AFK for ages, because well it is WvW/GW2.

I also play it if I feel like playing a game, but am too tired to play a proper game.

It’s like a large scale PvP…but with more custom set ups with mixing stat sets and consumables. Large world where you could find a fight, pouncing on an unsuspecting enemy while he is trying to solo cap a camp, or seeing dots on the map and knowing that theres a squirrel there about to take a point. The adrenaline of going in a 6v10 and coming out victorious.

WvW is a place where peoples true class potential can really shine.

Also, dropping arrows from an AC on the faces of many and watching 4+ ppl drop at the same time is awesome.

Because I enjoy it.

After many hours of both playing WvW and browsing the forums, I’ve pretty much concluded that I’m in the minority for this.

I don’t care about score. I don’t care about winning, fights, PPT, KDR or otherwise. I don’t care about defending or capturing or what ever else.

I enjoy WvW because I enjoy socializing with server and guild mates. I enjoy that I can roam, I can scout, I can zerg, I can do what ever my heart desires without anyone or anything to tell me to do otherwise. I can play what ever class I want, I can play what ever build I want, I have nearly total freedom.

There are things in WvW that frustrate me, sure, but I don’t expect it to be perfect. Much like I do with a lot of things in life, I take WvW for what it is and I look on the bright side. What’s the point of always being upset? If you have constructive criticism, give it. Make a thread with ideas and be sure to consider all the variables. Your thoughts may or may not be heard by ANet but if it slips under their radar it doesn’t mean they hate you, they hate WvW and they’re not listening.

People are such drama queens. Yes, WvW has problems and yes, ANet doesn’t do a very good job at maintaining balance or keeping our interest. But at the end of the day, it’s still just a video game and it isn’t here to be a substitute for happiness. Enjoy it for what it is and give feedback where necessary instead of pouring your hopes and dreams in to a better future for the game (and probably your life) then getting mad with ANet and the world because things didn’t pan out the way you imagined they would.

I’ve always liked the concept of open world PVP in a pve map… it keeps you on your toes! Though, admittedly, I could do without the zergs and lag!

(I much prefer roaming to being a cog in a zerg machine – especially when said zerg is more interested in karmafarming than any discernible objective!)

Same for me. So much wasted potential thanks to some devs throwing us together with the PVE crowd. Still glad that it exists since pvp is in a horrible state right now.

  • PvE is boring, you can even watch twitch streams about PvE and even high level content like raid bosses are yawnworthy.
  • WvW has unique builds that connect support, damage and survivability. There is no classes that do 0 damage, you can make power builds that are not full zerk. Also its not as limited as PvP gearwise.
  • Theres constant improvement and variety. You can feel improvement as commander/player every week because positioning, siegeplacement, sustaining, communication, commanding, builds etc are such complex things.
  • Theres no set meta. Eles can play cele, marauder or nomad if they want to. Necros can play trailblazer, marauder or celestial if they wish so. Warriors can play condi shout, power shout or just plain power builds. Bored of your classes? Make a new build. And its not just gonna be 11111 pewpew against world bosses.
  • You can be the deciding factor in 50v50, 20v20 fights etc. If you make/finish 5 downs, you potentially rally 5 allies. You can save your party, ress people etc. No fight is the same.
  • You dont know who will win, enemy can bring a blob and lose, but after that they can build siege/change commanders etc and you start losing again.
  • Theres always something challenging to do, You can blob, scout, siege, roam, ppt. Whatevers available at the moment, you can even be salty towards enemies for their cheesy builds, if you find that fun. Be yourself
  • Communities and teamspeak, Its more fun with voice communications, someone does something stupid, everyone laughs with him Commander keeps spirits up and is a person you can look up to. You can join a guild and work together for guild upgrades/raids/builds to become best possible community. Makes you feel unique.

Ok no fun when you hit lag then next a 40toon Zerg runs over you
No fun when the “cool kids” 3 full zerk roamers Catch you alone then dance about as if 3 on one is something hard

Still the most enjoyable mode of the game, although my guild went from 10-18 players at release for runs every day at almost any time of day to 4-10 players three nights a week. For a group our size we just don’t run into many like-sized groups anymore, it’s either all solo groups or zergs, server linking hurt what we do a bit but we still survive after a year of it. Still lots of fun but still lots of annoyance just from group size(even allied zergs showing up crushing a group of enemies we’ve had good fights with).
