Guild Wars 2

Is it still pointless to WvW? Meaning, no actual progression? Or just ole alterac valley battleground instance over and over each week?

Can we see kill spam yet? Can we see players names? Is there a way to advance your character in WvW?

Or is it just a battleground amusement park still ?

It never has been pointless to begin with. I’m still having awesome fights and don’t need some number going up in some panel or see player names / kill spam (that I would disable anyways) as an incentive to play it.
In games that have all you mention I don’t get the fun out of seeing numbers but out of the actual fights. Same applies here except I don’t have to ignore the numbers because they’re not there in the first place.

You need to find another game.

Yeah… you’re playing the wrong game if that’s what you expect to see.

Still battleground amusement part, next big patch is full PvE and hopefully after that ANET will start focusing on PvP aspects of the game.

I’m with you on this one, except instead they want you to grind for siege equipment as well.

I’m sick of people saying this is the intended design. In 1 year, WvW will be only on 3 servers at this rate.

I’m already contemplating playing Halo 4 rather than WvW. I also didn’t think WvW would be so computer-intensive since GW2 was supposed to be a casual play lol.

So you are tired of people telling you the truth instead of what you want to hear? No games are made to appeal to everyone. If you don’t like it then don’t play.

Except the people who like the concept are growing sick or already sick of it.

They have to make it appealing to PvE players, since PvP players are going to stick with HotM.

Disagree with you completely.

The only reason I log in right now is to do WvW. If I wasn’t rebuilding my character than I wouldn’t be running AC 3x times a day either.

WvW is a blast if you have friends. I can see it being boring if you’re just mindlessly following a zerg around and chasing commander tags.

To each his own I guess.

It’s pointless in that fun for its own sake is pointless. Which is to say video games are pointless. Perhaps a job is in order? I’m going back to WvW now.

As pointless as every game in existence.

it’s completely worthless

as days become weeks become months, it is clear

ArenaNET simply does not care about wuvwuv and made it simply for casual play. They made something you can jump into, get into some battles, get some kills, and log off and that’s that

it was never intended to become what we have turned it into: Endgame

all one needs to do is look at SPVP. All the things the devs already did, all the projects and plans in the pipeline and you will see exactly what AN’s focus is at.

Look at SPVP and then look at WvWvW.

Bottom Line: ArenaNET made WvWvW for casual play and never intended for it to become what we players have turned it into

The good thing is the removal of server transfers has made it so there’s no week-long blow-out matches anymore.

would be nice to get some recognition in WvW, for guilds or individual players. It would make things alot more competitive and give some guilds some pride in what they do.

Currently it is fun, but you do have that lack of accomplishment after it all. Just doesnt have the hook it needs.

True story. Planetside 2 follows about the same guidelines as GW2 WvW except PS2 is about 7 million times more fun. Waited all 2011 for GW2… Never even knew about PS2. Now based on my beta experience PS2 offers better PVP than GW2. lol imagine that. Toodles!

I find WvW to be great fun. Its really the only thing i do everyday from the time i get on to the time i get off. With that being said though, it would be great to get some type of reward for how much time you put into WvW. Doesnt matter if ur server places 1st, 2nd, 3rd. For example at the end of the weeks matchup you receive a chest depending on how much time you dedicated to WvW for that matchup. The chest can consist of badges,seige,$,karma jugs or whatever anet wants. Its nothing too big or game changing but hopefully it motivates people to do WvW. Atm bragging rights is not enough to bring people to WvW and keep them interested unless ofc They love it alrdy and just want to have fun and kill s**t like myself

With queue times as they are, do you really think we need more incentives to play?

Yes, WvWvW is still completely meaningless.

If you need the treadmill of gear/gold/level/etc or at least the illusion of it, wvwvw isn’t the place. Montly patches with a new set of slightly better gear to “achieve” is not here.

So then you will switch to another game in the same amount of time then I guess.

Ah, the participation trophy generation.

Ah, the participation trophy generation.

People want something to gain and lose from WvW.

If anything you are arguing in favor of the trophy generation where “everyone is a winner.”

Meaningless? Seriously?

Serverwide buffs in PvE and WvW are meaningless?

Power of the Mists may seem like small boosts, but they really add up. By participating in WvW and helping to earn points you get to give everyone on your server a constant buff to everything they do all week long. How is that meaningless?

WvW is really fun, and really well done.

I do like the idea of killspam and player names though, would be a fun addition.

Not sure how to display it in the UI, but I would welcome that.

I NEVER notice them, ever.

I constantly get extra node gathers because of it. That’s the most noticeable part, for me. The others are nice, and become noticeable when your server is doing very well. The bonuses get better the higher your score.

Seems like many people don’t even receive these boosts.
