Guild Wars 2

WvW is better thought of as a mini game within GW2 rather than a major aspect of it. The removal of orbs and only one significant update, that being break out events, around the 6 month mark is disappointing. Compare it to the updates we see in sPvP and PvE and it’s even more depressing.

I realise that an update is only around the corner but what are we expecting to see come from this update. The lack of communication is, at least for me, indicating what we have seen over the last 6 months, as it stands, I’m not expecting much.

In summary I guess I’m like many others. That is the zerging/culling/rendering/stale nature of WvW has worn thin. I like GW2 and most likely will keep playing it but given that many other aspects of GW2 are even less appealing, well….

I guess I was wondering what other people’s feelings are about the current state of WvW.

ANet responding to this thread while avoiding a generic ‘were working on it, we aren’t currently working on it’ would be great:

I, personally, would love to see ArenaNet pick 10-20 wvw frequent-players from each server, and randomly assign them to a team on the wvw test server and let them communicate with a wvw coordinator (NDA is fine) for a week or two before they “release” it on us.

I like certain aspects of WvW quite a lot, but the numerous significant flaws are overpowering it for me, and I’ve also come to the conclusion that variety (freshness) and parity (fairness) are impossible to achieve at the same time in a server versus server format. It might be different if ANet showed any indication at all that they cared and were working on the key issues, but they don’t say anything and they don’t do anything so at this point GW2 is merely a placeholder for me until TESO arrives.

They had to close their own thread because of the backlash.
