Guild Wars 2

I laughed after reading this announcement, to see it was only about spvp..

I keep forgetting they think that practice mode crapola is pvp or even part of a game anyone would play.

The reality will hit home for these devs when they try to sell their first xpac.

What are you talkin about?

Removal of paid tourn?

It’s a good step seriously.

Its a minor change to spvp, its not “big changes to pvp”.

Its not a minor change imo

It saves the whole kittening game mode.

Would be nice if they give some love to WvW too

Another new map for sPvP, another delay on a WvW patch. Situation normal.

Funny how the people in the sPvP forums are saying the exact same thing about WvW.

WvW’s big patch is in March.

So they’ve said.

Except the spvp forum is somewhere devs talk to customers at least twice on each subject index page, people ask questions about how to find the thing to do the thing and it seems to be a happy place.

…we’re the wvw forum where devs fear to tread, mods infract everything on an hourly basis and its mostly a wasteland of human vitriol and spite.

SPvP = happy elf forest of pew pew
WvW = happy elf forest after its been burnt and the survivors hunted and eaten

I love you guys

They simply can’t build and deliver 4 games, spvp, wvw, low level pve leveling game and some sort of pve end game.

They punted on pve end game, ignored wvw, spent huge amounts of the their game development and artwork on the leveling game, and sit and wonder why spvp is duller than watching paint dry.

I love the artwork and creativity of the leveling game, but then you see the horrid contrast of the totally detached “wvw 1 week battleground instance”, and fighting generic red, blue green armies with no names and you wonder if they simply ran out of time, don’t care or don’t get it.

The characters all feel like they are not fully leveled up with only half their abilities unlocked, culling and stacking dominating game play in many situations, so I guess the “big changes” struck me as funny.

Which is the same big patch that was supposed to be in feb and before that the same big patch due in Dec. WvW has had zero improvements to it since launch. Every other game mode has had several patches.

sPvP is like kindergarten on steroids, everything is free, access to all cakes n so on.

Feels more like playing CS then anything else, ppl run around in one map glasscannon spec, just to show up 5 mins later as a tank specc. The only cost is Time. sPvP should be left as is atm. A-net should concentrate some more on delivering the goods to w3 instead imo.

Get over it.. its a positive change and the leaderboard may spice up the spvp situation. I mostly WvW and have done very little spvp. But this update is a step in the right direction. Good Work Anet keep it up guys.

DO folks even s/t/PvP ??? I thought it was dead. Also why is this post in the WvWvW forum ??
