Guild Wars 2

I have played just about every mmorpg out there, I am a pvp player and wvwvw is really fun, but it just feels like a huge (arena,battleground,warzone, etc). I miss pvp server’s and I miss true open world pvp while questing and exploring. This game would make perfect Open world pvp with the lvl rq. zones.

Yeah….. it would be awesome…. like:

“Oh an event!”…..

then…..

“Run away fast so we don’t die to everyone else’s aoe!”

or…..

“Let’s wait till it’s half over then go aoe everyone!”

It’s like some people haven’t noticed how this game works yet. Anet has stated that open world PvP would not work in this game with the dynamic event system, do you not believe them?

so it would be like any other mmorpg then…..

Ohhh no…….. there is enemy players over there I cant complete my quest right now..

or

I need to kill ten npc………ok ill go over here ohh nOooo……there is a bunch of enemy players over there I cant complete my quest…..

you know the event circle that tells you where events are on the map, just make it where the enemy player cant enter the event while its happening

It’s true that PvP, just like PvE, needs content to survive. No modern game would set a player out in a field with a bunch of NPCs and say “have at it, there’s your PvE”. Many MMORPGs do precisely that for PvP, though.

GW2 improved things significantly by providing WvW, which is “PvP content”.

But it’s also true that WvW represents, what, about 2% of this game’s land mass? And that’s including one map being repeated 3 times.

It’s a good start, and it’s better than most, but I do agree that long term, we’re going to need a lot more WvW content than we currently have. Allowing PvP in PvE areas isn’t really an improvement in my opinion because it’s not “PvP content” — it’s simply allowing players to kill each other for no reason in the middle of the map, which is pretty shallow. But certainly WvW could be expanded on greatly.

Except “enemy players” = all other players

This game is not WoW, and does not have factions. There wouldn’t be any players on your team, and thus dynamic events would basically never be completed.

If there was 1 Full pvp server, it would be packed

I dont know they could carry 3 for wvwvw, but maybe you wouldnt need it

GW2 separates PvP and PvE, as it should be. Most MMORPGs are actually two-genres: a PvP game and a PvE game. Many players only like the PvE, many players only like the PvP, and many players like both. ArenaNet has successfuly catered to them all by creating sPvP, PvE and WvW.

WoW never really had thriving World PvP. The best natural World PvP it had was in Classic WoW with battles between Southshore and Tarren Mill. Since then, it’s had orchestrated PvP via Halaa in TBC, Wintergrasp in WotLK, and something else akin to Wintergrasp in Catacylsm (never played Cataclysm). These are pocket areas where world PvP is encouraged.

WvW is 100x larger than all these WoW world PvP pockets combined.

Of course WoW had random small world PvP, usually in the form of ganking. I think most would rather have huge amazing WvW battles than pathetic ganking.

No, whatever enemy players your fighting in wvwvw, would be the players that could enter your “home instance”, And there should be a limit, like there is for wvwvw, 100 players can only enter a enemy home server at once, all others have to que up, like wvwvw.

Anet should make a map where servers meet for the next level cap map 80 – 90 example then all servers quest in the same place / map basically a cross server map and pk pk pk ppl wihle questing or gank, would be fun

I think their should be 3 pvp only servers. Of course in WvW you can’t pvp your own teammates

I of course would play on the PvP server since I grew up on hardcore PvP mmorpg’s like asherons call
