Guild Wars 2

so myself and a group of friends, tried to get back into open world pvp again and heres the problem, im going to sum up the entire system.

attack a castle, defend a castle, attack a castle, defend a castle, omg a yak! escourt the yak, attak a castle, defend a castle….etc…

this is the line i hear the most from people playing the game.

would it be so difficult to add more variety to the game, maybe have tribes on the map that if you are in a area long enough they get angry and attack you, maybe you can give them supplies to get their support in defense or assault.

when a whole map is taken because its the graveyard shift, something should happen!
in the entire time that gw2 has been around now, i find it shocking that virtually nothing has happened in that system.

please lets get some more going.

on another point to add, every kitten world is having the same season! it would go a long way to change up the seasons, maybe 1 of the servers is winter another is spring, summer, autumn, those worlds and there maps need far more love then they currently have.

would love to hear from arenanet as to what there plans are regarding open world and how they think improving it should be done as well as if they have any plans to do it and if they are content with the system as it currently is, is it everything you hoped and dreamed it would be?

Yea, the seasons would be cool. But why change something that is already good? Many off us like the current WvW system. You can turn any activity dull with such a sentence. But guess what I play 10-14 hours WvW without getting bored. I simply love it and there is a lot more into it than you just described.

Ninja keeps/capping camps/following the enemy zerg/trebbing and counter trebbing/fake attacks on tower to cap another tower/zergvszerg fights/small scale conflicts/even 1vs1/taking nodes/taking hylek, dredge, ogres/ contesting WPs

And a lot more and these are only the point game orientated things, you can have tons of fun more with a good guild.

And please, please, please don’t add more PvE content in WvW. We came here to avoid that kitten.

I have never … ever … understood why people seem to think that adding PvE to WvW is the best way to make it more interesting. They are different playstyles. It’s as brain dead as saying they should add some elements of football to golf to make it more exciting.

I find PvE world lacking variety.

Kill a mob, grab his loot, kill a mob, grab his loot, omg a bigger mob, kill the bigger mob, grab the bigger loot.

Would it be so difficult to add more variety to the game? Like if you’re killing a mob so you can grab his loot, I can come up behind you, blast you into pieces and grab the loot you drop.

its called improvement and it can always be done to make a game better.
if you look at improvements from release to now there is basically absolutely nothing done to it and it is basically end game content in a sense.

the other thing with a large open world is while a few people may enjoy senseless running around and spamming out their skills, there are a lot of different players with different playstyles wanting to be able to do something useful in the world in their own way, and catering to as many people as possible should be a priority in a such a large enviroment.

its not just my opinion either is feedback i got from a lot of friends and some other random players when i asked them.

So, turn WvW into Orr?

I mean, I get what you’re saying. It’s WvW. PvP. Attack players, players attack you, attack players, players attack you, and on and on and on. I guess when you break it down and put it so simply it’s easy to make your case. I wonder if the devil isn’t in the details though. Or lack there’of, in your case.

nope not at all, its one of a few random ideas, you can do many other things with it, reason for that one is there are already npcs in the open world that basically stand there and do nothing, if they are there, making them do something isnt a bad thing, it also might make things interesting during the graveyard shifts.

there really isnt any detail in owpvp you can try and sugarcoat it if your happy with there never being progression or improvements which i see some people are happy with but honestly no one here can tell me they did anything to improve owpvp since release, its the same thing over and over.

pve will always keep receiving content and updates but remember that there is normally different teams that handle different things and i would love to know the feedback and opinions of what the owpvp and pvp teams at arenanet are doing

I agree that things feel to get somewhat quick. I am not sure about your idea but we could definitely use ‘more’. I personally think the actual PvP is a little too bland. I like more options when I am fighting than what I have. After that, bigger maps or maybe an underground area.
