That’s how you satisfy your customers. You don’t need to fix whole game modes or balance your game. All you need is to give some guys another opportunity to farm their way up to the top and get a shiny back item.

Until they start balancing skills in context of the many diffrent game modes in this game, any sembalance of competition is an utter joke.

apparently HOT is so successful they are planning to works towards next expansion in 2016:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/402r80/jan_8_guild_chat_livestream_notes/
General Notes
- Developer Matt Pennebaker have been working on lots of legendary precursor crafting bug fixes, some of which will go live next Tuesday.
- Colin: “I have seen some of the new legendaries, they are amazing”
- Blog post on skill balance next week, with Karl coming in the next Guild Chat on Friday to discuss them.
- Blog post on Jan 12 on 2016 Roadmap.
Development Balance
- In the previous years we did lots of biweeky/monthly updates. In 2015 our focus was on HoT with some updates. in 2016 we are trying to find a balance between frequent – game updates and working on the next expansion.
- We want to focus on all the game modes. We are working on polishing existing game modes instead of experimenting with new stuff.
- WvW overhaul has been in development for over a year now. There are lots of core things we still need to do including population balance etc. (LOL, call this bs)

Well i think there gonna be a bit disappointed in the next expansion sales/pre orders
can fool the player base once but not twice i for one will not buy it until i see ALL the content like armors/weapons – none gm store items – Quests, Quality of the story
i swear when ever i see that stabbing part in H.O.T i think dam this looks good for a n64 game dx9 can do allot better than that the face expression was just LOL some were good looking tho so quality control that next time – and the lack of profession quests for new elite spec was just lazy even gw1’s 2ed class quests would of be better
and i can go on and on and on why you should not buy the next expansion until months after it’s out to see if it’s any good and lets face it pob gonna be 59$ this time

About a year ago John Corpening was heavily involved in some of the CDI stuff. And he posted some interesting things about what direction he thinks WvW should go in. Then he got promoted to lead the WvW side and since then has been more or less silent.

This is not a coincidence. Anet has strict policies on the release of information. But I think if you want some hints at what he and the WvW team have been working on you should go read his posts from a year ago.

And you should understand that wherever there is a black hole of silence, it not because the devs hate us all, it is because their hands(or voices) are restrained by studio policy. Remember the silence before the announcement of HoT? The silence about WvW is the same situation.

To resolve the WvW poppulation shrinking issue, and other issues, they should implement an achievement panel were you can get a legendary back item to. PvE has it, PvP has it, why should WvW not have it?! I’m forced to play PvP to get a desired skin ( I really want it), but I would love to get one in WvW. So many ppl would join the WvW, so many wars/fights would be like in the older days, at start! It’s just motivation, I’m not motivated when I play WvW…

Because the devs are too obtuse to see that they destroyed the only truly interesting mode of this game. Spvp and Pve games are a dime a dozen and GW2 is not even close to being the best of them.

Realm vs Realm games are tough to make, but if you get it right there is a gold mine there. Unfortunately, ANET doesn’t have that kind of talent anymore.

Want to bet that this roadmap contain little to no info on the future of WvW or fixing existing bugs that completely break it? I would honestly be shocked if its even mentioned once or twice (probably in relation to PvE or sPvP).

1) That post is from almost a month ago!
2) It contains nothing of interest that will save WvW. PPK will not save WvW
3) It contains the most used eta used for WvW updates: Soon™
4) We’ve not had an update or more details about it since.

All the above is just another cycle in the carrot on a stick race we call waiting for WvW updates.

I think the only thing the dev have ever done right for WvW is removing the culling.

Just look at the forum threads, it’s all negative reviews and complaints.
Used to be the mod would delete these, but now after the HoT release, things are so bad everyone is complaining!
We may have had that useless reply about PPK, but where are the replies to all our complaints?!
Things have never been so bad with WvW as they are now. The devs should be running around like crazy trying to fix things, talk to us about how to fix them etc. Instead we get nothing, just a silly post about PPK and the usual we’ll do it Soon™

maybe because Anet wants players to do PvP or PVE to buy them some time for the WvW overhaul, be positive, think positive.
WvW is the most difficult to polish in this game and so as the other games in this mode
and……. whats wrong about PPK btw?

The post was 3 weeks ago, it was then followed up by a PvP update.
Do you need Anet to post daily? They gave us a post before going on holidays, do they need to re-assure you by posting when they got back too? I’d prefer them to get working on these updates rather then re-assuring the forums every 5 minutes personally.

The forums are filled with trash like “Änet doesn’t listen” and what ever else, but that sneak peak was clearly showing us that they do listen.

All of HoT in fact, for WvW, were mostly changes asked for by the WvW community.

“don’t want to spend gold on upgrades” – Free upgrades/autopilot
“Need something to discourage zergers” – Built a map that punishes big groups
“Sick of small fight guilds taking important PPT spots” – Small guilds lost all upgrades and so forth
“Yaks are too easy to kill” – Now they have siege bubbles.
“Achievements too hard” – Unlocked them all for everyone who has played for longer than a year. (I have all of them now)

The list goes on, you get the point though why they don’t want to communicate with us.

Since HoT release, I’ve been pretty vocal about where I feel they Kittened up, especially with Elites, but I haven’t had the audacity to complain about WvW, because we got what we asked for.

Wrong, the changes they made were not asked for, sure people asked for changes to certain things, but not the pile of kitten they served up (in most cases).

Secondly none of the really big things were touched, like imbalanced matchups, “nightcapping” rendering “winning” and the game mode as a competition as basically worthless, how the badly designed PPT system / maps work by meaning the best way to “win” is to avoid fights, PvDoor like a brainless zombie and get up at 4am, etc in what is supposed to be a mass PvP mode with, I quote “massive battles”.

Episode 2 Anet Strikes Back

Kolin: Alrighty Johann!! We have our BIG 2106 overview post comming up soon!! So, gimmie the juicy deets on the amazing WvW overhaul so I can tell all the player about how great it is!!!
Johann C. : Look Kolin, I am busy. It turns out that the entire tenticle idea for the Jellyfish mounts might have to be scrapped after I and my entire team has spent the last 3 months working on only that!!
Kolin: WHAT?!!! I thought that was done.
Johann C. Right?!!! Me too, It works great on my laptop dev server instance perfectly. So cool, you ride in the tenticles like the guys that hang of that space ship in Chronicles of Ridkitten.
Kolin: Oh yeah!! Vin Diesel… man he is cool. So.. what is the problem?
Johann C. : Well on the test server, as soon as anyone gets into the Jellyfish mount saddle, it disables the #1 skill server wide!! It’s a disaster, we have no idea how this is happening, and most of our testers rage quit after sitting in front of their computers clicking the #1 skill repeatedly with nothing happening….
Kolin: That’s insane, how can an underwater mount affect the entire playerbase of a server?
Johann C. That’s just it Kolin…. WE JUST DON’T KNOW! The problem is Meike O. LOVES the Jellyfish mount and won’t give it up. I told him there are a lot of players who only use the #1 skill, this is a problem. He said, and I quote, “Look they are the minority, most GW2 players use other skills in addition to the #1 skill. The vast majority of our players use many of the other skills, almost no one only uses the #1 skill.:” He told me the Jellyfish mounts are going into release, period. Even if it breaks the #1 skill…
Kolin: Well, he’s the CEO. I think we just have to trust his judgement on this… So how much have we gotten done on the BIG WvW Overhaul 2016!!!
Johann C. : Ask Ghaile, I put her in charge of WvW development until we can get Quaggon!! The Quaggan Dragon Expansion going….
Kolin: Hey Ghaile, How’s the overhaul coming. I just announced we’ve been working on it for over a year!
Ghaile: Hey Kolin, look I am kinda busy… Meike O. wants the forums to have a “certain tone” and honestly that is a full time job itself… I posted about those easy… well, they are actually just about 5 min coding each, so they aren’t really that big a deal…
Kolin: Look Ghaile, I NEED SOMETHING HERE. I already said we’ve been working for over a year on an overhaul.
Ghaile: Well, that thread I posted has a lot of feedback, but honesty who has time to read all that stuff…
Kolin: OK OK FINE. I got this. Just make sure all the things you mentioned get into the January 26 update. So, what else? There must be something else?
Ghaile: Well, I am pretty sure that Meike O. wants the jellyfish mounts to be usable in WvW, that’s certainly an exciting development for the game mode…
