Guild Wars 2

Good suggestion.

Wouldn’t we just be back in a situation were people restarted the fractal until the desired one appeared?

It’s still faster to restart 10 times until a swamp came than do Cliffside or Thaumanova Reactor.

Alot of things happened.

- New Maps
- New Class/Specializations
- New WvW upgrade rules
- New PvE Content that drained WvW for a month
- New Meta (Bye, bye GWEN)

None of the above things would have had a negative effect on WvW individually.

Combined though …

It seems the original poster and the rest of the repliers are playing the game for different reasons.

One have grown to see the leveling PvE aspect as a necessary evil required to get to the endgame (be that WvW, Bosses, dungeons or whatnot).

The other side see leveling PvE as part of the game that is fun and entertaining.

Both sides are valid points of view.

Personally I enjoyed leveling the first three characters. I hated doing the next two and it took ages.

The last two characters got to level 80 using Tombs and have ~1% map completion. I completely agre with the original poster:

Give us an option to skip leveling content the same way you gave us Scrolls and Tombs!

As a Scandinavian I must admit you are perfectly correct. It all boils down to the fact we brew the best Ale.

Except for the Norwegians, they know nothing of beer.

… and the Swedes. They get drunk too easily with their Systembolaget.

So if it really is several months, it really would be fair to tell us all how this is going to happen:

- Are we going to get gold spent on traits back?
- Are we going to relearn traits in the new system?
- and so on…

Hi AreaNet

You have revealed the new trait system – which seems really cool, thank you.

I have just gotten my Necro to level 80 using Tombs earned in PvP. I would like to use that character in WvW but before doing that I need to choose between three things:

1) Drop a lot of gold/skill points into buying the traits
2) Do the PvE content
3) Wait for the trait system to release

Option 1) and 2) isn’t particular appealing since the effort is lost upon option 3).

So just for the sake of planning:

When will it release?

It would be Nice with a dueling system. It seems like the rule that 1v1s in WvW are intercepted by groups or other solo roamers.

It’s hard to imagine in current WvW thou. So how could it be structured without just being an extension to sPvP?
