Guild Wars 2

Here are some ideas that should take very little developer’s time but could have big impact to WvW.

• /o outmanned map chat. If two servers are both outmanned by one server, they can use this “temporary” map chat channel to coordinate a 2v1.

• Remove Orb effects in EB JP. This should allow GvG folks to go there.

• Make the JP into a giant death match where the center chest is a capture point.

• Revert EB JP change so that they share the same map again. The JPs right now (BL’s included) are mostly a ghost town (might conflict with #2).

• Yellow message in PvE when your home borderline garrison has orange sword. Similar to how we get PvE announcements in WvW, we should get WvW messages in PvE too.

• You can only enter WvW if you own at least one level 30 character (not necessarily the one you use to enter WvW). This should solve the problem of spies with 2 accounts and keep transferring to a different server on each matchup.

Feel free to post yours. The only requirement is that it should take very little work on ANet’s part to do so it doesn’t distract them from their current roadmap.

Good ideas, hints.
I’m not sure sure about the EB JP changes, but the rest are all very good.

1. “2v1” didn’t we had enough flame wars about these conspiracy theorys? no thanks
2. not a bad idea, i’d like to see this
3. JP should be JP not DM
4. no thanks, it’s fine as it is
5. absolutly no! get some scouts for your garrison if you want to keep it!
6. don’t you think its easy enough for a spy to level up to 30 once?

1. No, too much trolling/crap talking/revealing of plans/etc.

2. No, GvG should get it’s own mode not just slapped into “go to eb if you want it.” I personally hate the buffs and think they should be removed from ALL the maps but if they are going to stay i would rather have them on ALL then on just some

4. No, it’s a JP if you want people fighting over capture points go to the ruins or SPvP

4. No, JP = PvE with some PvP mixed in, it’s really frustrating to be losing on a match because of the PvE players. If you want small group fights go find them elsewhere like in the new ruins

5. No, servers should be rewarded for having superior communication

6. No, it wouldn’t solve the problem, just make it harder for spies but also remove the potential for a low level person new to the game to try out WvW

Honestly these ideas had their hearts in the right place but are just too flawed.

And just remove the PvE announcements in WvWvW. I’m pretty sure 95% of people in WvWvW don’t give a kitten about scarlet’s minions.

No no – they don’t just level up “once”. Right now, that person would delete all the characters on the 2nd account and get a “free” (without gem cost) transfer every week based on the matchup. And then create a new level 1 character as a spy. With this chnge, they would have to level up a level 30 character “every week” (if matchup is random enough). Level 30 is chosen because its low enough that its not a barrier to a legit player, but annoying enough that you don’t want to do it weekly.

To stop that, we either 1) limit accounts with only one new level 1 characters getting into WvW or 2) limit someone from transferring to another server immediately after deleting all the characters.

I think #1 is a better solution.

2v1 isn’t a conspiracy. I’ve been on both sides of these trains. Coordinated.

• /o outmanned map chat. If two servers are both outmanned by one server, they can use this “temporary” map chat channel to coordinate a 2v1.

They could start adding things to wvw and then removing it every 2 weeks like in pve. So for 2 weeks (or maybe a month) have this chat available and see how it works.

• Remove Orb effects in EB JP. This should allow GvG folks to go there.

I’m ok with orb effects not working in EB.

• Make the JP into a giant death match where the center chest is a capture point.

I think there should be a wvw lobby and the JP are entered from the lobby.

• Revert EB JP change so that they share the same map again. The JPs right now (BL’s included) are mostly a ghost town (might conflict with #2).

see above

• Yellow message in PvE when your home borderline garrison has orange sword. Similar to how we get PvE announcements in WvW, we should get WvW messages in PvE too.

Cool idea. Might bring more people to WvW out of curiosity.

• You can only enter WvW if you own at least one level 30 character (not necessarily the one you use to enter WvW). This should solve the problem of spies with 2 accounts and keep transferring to a different server on each matchup.

Good idea.

Yeah.. that one line of message… totally distracting me from the important /m and /t chat…
