Will wvw recover after the clown week?
No, the sky isn’t falling, it’s just a video game. More than likely a lot of players are itching for reset so they can get back on a map.
It will recover, just like how it recovered after the first two tournaments which were also claimed to totally kill WvW permanently.

A lot of players are “Wvw” only players, it’s the only reason they play the game, so yes wvw will recover, a lot of those players taking the week off will be back and I’m sure excited for normal wvw action.
Plus some things need to be sorted out after this week. A bunch of guilds moved to YB, they’re pushing for Tier 1.
T1 I’m sure will be going into fortify mode to try to stop that, unless TC wants to drop first? or BG who took the biggest hit from the leaving guilds?
Is FA really going to sit aside and help YB drain it’s glicko to reach T1? SoS will try to put up roadblocks on roads in their borderland, but there’s really no patrols around so expect lots of zergs speeding through there especially from YB.
CD just popped into T3 this past week after two weeks of unlucky rolls, but the clown crap didn’t show their true power or did it?, can they really be the new king of T3? or will they get dumped to T4 on another unlucky roll lol.

Speaking for myself it will recover, although I won’t want to see another another golem without having shivers.
My faith in new “event” weeks will be forever tainted though, and when/if they announce another one I will be VERY leery of what might have been broken this time.
So all bl are now k-train and empty wvw completly broken lot of ppl thinking about leaving the game, all trust in Anet lost, lots of people deciding not to buy HoT…
What do you think? Was this the final nail in the coffin?
My guild will return and do what they did before the event was started, but it certainly changed some things for us. There will be a lot more LoL/Hearthstone/BnS action going on and less GW2 because we realized how boring this game is without WvW.
I will play through the kitten expansion, pick a new main (after all those new specializations), grind this char to 100% map completion, do all the living story stuff coming along, roam like I always did, maybe join another guild for zerging again and wait how WvW will develop with HoT.
If nothing changes I will hop over to BnS – which is released this winter – and just come back for some quick roaming action or a reset night with old friends.
BTW: Anet take a look at BnS PvP. This is how you do esport! :P http://tinyurl.com/pnbawtv Entertaining to watch, easy to learn, hard to master and not too much going on at the same time.

Would likely take a couple months of consistent, significant gains to break the gap between 3&4
Recover from what? Not everyone gave up out there. Event basically showed me that there are a lot of servers out there with people that take this game too seriously. Instead of trying to make the best out of it they chose to give up and not play..
I’m sure all the people that tried to even have fun during this boring event will look at all them guilds that decided not to play this week differently after this event is over. INC drama and mass transfers.
It will recover just fine, they may see a few less HoT sales partially due to this past week but as a whole, the majority of us who hated the event will be back to business come reset.
The emotional scars will remain for a long time. Especially since Anet have showed exactly zero will to restore faith in them. The new borderland replacing all the others make me fear for the future of WvW. If it doesnt work… its the end. Because they obviously isnt going to change anything, respond to feedback or admit its not working. This week has showed us that.
It wasn’t as bad as (S-2 or S-3) at least. The problem is, it gave less incentive for more regular wvwers to log in, rather than Achievement hunters/PVEers.

WvW is a form of entertainment. It is not only competing with other RvR games, but also other video games and forms of entertainment. If I chose to watch Ant man or restart my Crusader Kings campaign or play Rocket League because I find this event not entertaining, then I should be free to do so.
I hadn’t realized that this is a job and I have required attendance requirements. I’ll get a note from my doctor about missing this week then.
Sorry, who is taking this too seriously again?

Wow you sure are confused about who is taking this game to seriously, who takes it more seriously. The guy who stays in game and tries to make the best of it, or the one that says “nope this weeks not my cup of tea, I’ll take a break”.
I expected more from you.
Lost faith and respect in them for staying silent during the entire week of a golem event that no one wanted + the bug that didn’t got resolved or any attention put to it for that matter.Just another reason for me to not buy hot or spend anymore money on this game,will i stay playing ? Sure,wvw is ALL I DO,im such an exception.
I’m going to miss rank up chests coming every 5 minutes.
People were able to live and move on with their lives through the no white swords gambit, I’m sure people will continue to live and get back to their old routines when the golem gambit is over with.

I’ll try better next time. Even I played less this week. Thing is I didn’t try to win instead I tried to still have fun with my friends because as everyone can clearly tell, I like to play this game mode and some boring event isn’t going to stop me..
Those that take a break for a week are probably the smarter ones as every now and then you do need a break or sometimes you will grow to just hate things. Going by the wvw forums itself, a lot of people need a long break.
For people to blame the event on there reason for taking a break, IMO, needed a break to begin with because they were taking the game too seriously. If one week of something different is going to cause you to rage on the forums, make you say things like “I refuse to buy the xpac”, make you post videos of devs saying something silly and keep dwelling on it, well to me those people take this game way too serious.

Dailies exist to reinforce the habit of logging into the game every day, so players don’t drift away from the game.
On the other hand, when Anet gives incentives to not log in (Golem/exploit week), it pushes players to break their gameplay habit. That’s how you lose players.
And that’s not even considering the phenomenally poor support (as in none) that WvW has received during this week.
I took a break because of the event, it’s not a case of taking it to seriously. I play for fun, I have a family and a job so when I get on it’s for my enjoyment. I enjoy being competitive, this event was IMO not fun, it ruined the parts of WvW I enjoy. Instead I went and played other games.
Wanting the devs to listen and take some of our requests/ideas and implementing them or not implementing them, is passion imo. It’s clear by some of the comments that have been made by Anet that many of them truly don’t know as much about their game as they believe they do. I don’t think it’s a hardship to ask that they do some research and provide as much attention to one mode as they do to others. If you invented the automobile but only drove it once in a blue moon you wouldn’t be as familiar with it as the guy that drives it for several hours a day every day, whether you invented it or not.
I still haven’t purchased the xpac because I don’t like the direction they are going, and I don’t have faith that it contains $50 worth of content. The event, just reassures me that they are not in touch with some of the communities in the game and likely won’t provide WvW players anything worth while that we can’t obtain without the xpac.

Nice post LOL would read again..
I sure am not taking it too seriously. If I was I would have created tons of new threads that claimed this event ruined wvw, say there is no future for wvw or even ask if wvw will ever recover.

Meh was in too much of a hurry. Needed to add something about TPS reports.
And if they had added the ability for five players to combine into one giant golem, my attitude would be completely the opposite and I would be in wvw every day as much as I can.

I like reading your post tbh even when you throw me under the bus at times. There is a difference between the way you make your point across and the many others who say the same thing the next person says and usually that is “this game is ruined”
If you kept up with most of my posts it seems I have tons of personalities Its just at times I reply with silly stuff since I see silly stuff being posted or in a way I see it as silly stuff. If people actually expressed it more in a nicer way I’d reply more in a nicer way.
I will say even sometimes I disagree with myself after someone like you points it out in a nicer way haha

Not going to lie. That would be pretty sweet if you ask me. Each player controlling something different yet in the same thing. Reminds me on Voltron hehe

Everyone has opinions, I may not agree with yours but that does not mean you are wrong and I am right. It also doesn’t mean I think you should be put in front of a firing squad and shot. We, like many others, are passionate about the game and even if we disagree we are both in our own opinions trying to do whats best for the game.

That event was actually ok for small scale roamers,lotta people liked it since there was more need for proper scouting aswell.This event on the otherhand is most of all Bugged and they didnt have it in them to respond on the issue.Besides i havent met a single person besides a ktrainer that liked this event.
No, this is way too melodramatic.
And yes it was terrible.
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
It is going to be fine until HoT unless Anet does some other event that they think our population will like…
Once HoT comes along, I think WvW will turn in to EOTM unfortunately.
We’ll see. I do not care for wvw for now…
Our guild went completely disinterested: from 30+ on reset we now have 10 give or take a few.. They are the ppl who sometimes participated, all others (HC’s) went either to play other games, no ETA back or are doing PvE to earn some cash. Doubt we’ll seen many of those back on short notice.
Effectively killing my WvW guild.
I do not care, I’ll do some PvE and buy another gemstore item, and I’ll retire WvW until HoT, I’ll check if I ’ll restart at that moment. I do not need more EotM
I do not care in “compeditive matchups” with makeshift idiotic events destroying the little balance we have/had. We play low tier with experienced people we have a server fielding 60-100 WvW players during primetime. We had less then 20 of those online now at reset which effectively means our server is dead or at least very devoid of interest in WvW now.
Thank you for a useless event with bad consequences.

This event showed me that there are a lot of servers with people who take this game so seriously that they are willing to withstand the boredom that comes from ktraining in a golem for hours on end.
What a snooze-fest. A guild can only make a joke out of it for so long, like FSP’s “golem bomb” video. How many hours can they do that to make it entertaining? Probably got tired of golem bombs after the first 5 times.
My guild tried it. Our normally chatty TS channel was unnervingly quiet as the meditative quality of ktraining and watching the other server’s ktrain run away from us was lulling us to sleep.

Had some great open field fights yesterday without golems and supercharged golem buffs between all 3 NA T1 servers in EBG. I’d say yes WvW will recover, because people across the board eventually get tired of this bs.
This doesn’t mean I don’t think Anet owes us an apology. One whole week of no acknowledgement of golem exploits & bugs is just unacceptable.
Your all so dramatic. LOL They will return. Except for the people that were already burnt out and looking for reasons to leave.
If your still complaining you probably should question whether that’s you.

You beat me to it. Was going to say the same thing basically. People were tired and wanted to leave so this event was the thing that sealed it for them.
