Guild Wars 2

I played the game right from launch for a little over a month. I had a few 80’s and the only thing I am interested in is WvW…

Is it still the same pointless army vs door gameplay? Same cap keep.. move on to next… ? It got really boring, really fast. Is there anything improved?

The mechanics haven’t changed in any noteworthy way, aside from the orbs being removed and some exploits being fixed.

The matches are a lot more balanced than they used to be.. so there’s a lot less PvDoor than you may have saw previously (unless there is disparity between server prime times).

Tactics have improved with experience. You’ll see a lot less people going after well-defended gates and far more trebuchets.

Not in that respect. It’s a sandbox though so no need to play that way. My preferred play-style is to get to the top of the EB JP, lay traps and punt fountain users (and others but fountain users are the best) down to their deaths. Carebear fishing!

It’s a lot of fun. I’ve cried laughing most nights doing this and it attracts some really good PvP after enough rage is induced.

A couple other things to note:

Most friendly abilities now have a max of 5 targets. This change we necessary to lessen the effectiveness of zerg “turtling”

Portals now have a max of 20 charges.

There is a big WvW update coming Feb everyone is looking forward to. I have a feeling that patch will drastically change how WvW is played. And I think it will be for the better.

I’m pretty anxious to know what they have planned. I could care less about all of the PVE events – I’m more than looking forward to finding out what could potentially change!
