How to fix basic WvW problems
Gunnar’s Hold
Since the CDI has technically been nullified by the switch of people in charge and the existence of the “Three likes & Three hates” thread,
Has it? I think we need feedback from Josh on the CDis, given the push Chris Whiteside is putting into the initiative I doubt its been discarded. The 3 likes/dislikes thread has really served to confuse the issue.

Second, once this is fixed, we can start giving people an actual reason to join WvW. The thing that has bothered people from the very start is, that we have little incentive to play WvW at all. The winner gets nothing, the loser loses nothing.
Now, some people might remember GW1 and you might remember the Fissure of Woe, which was only available to you of your server has won a match in the Hall of Heroes. This is the type of carrot-on-a-stick we need. Give the winning server access to special content for a week and revoke said access for the server that’S losing. Keep in mind that in order to implement such a system, the first point about coverage needs to be fixed.
Those people probably remember it got changed those consequences were removed.
Given how instances work in GW2 that won’t really matter either, you just need someone on the right server to open an instance.

Trust me, it’s been discarded. Several of us have repeatedly asked Chris and now Josh (no point in asking Devon) to summarize the actionable (as in investigate … not necessarily implement) items they thought were noteworthy from either of the WvW CDIs. Nothing has crawled out from either rat hole.

Good point but it should be possible to work something out to make it only available to the winning servers. Otherwise make it a World Event/Boss that only appears on the winning servers and loot is restricted to the native players.
Other than that, I wish instead of editing my thread title, Josh would rather answer this but I guess that’s asking too much. Is it time to give up on any improvements?

Problem is rewards and nobody know who is top roamer in eu/na or what guild kill most of enemies and so on. Well maybe this kind of things doesn’t work in normal www, but EotM matches are much shorter. they could start to reward match top player. That would make things more interesting.

No they don’t. Stay in your own thread.

WvW is not about roaming, it’s balanced towards large scale fights.
What the hell, does nobody competent read these threads?
