Guild Wars 2

I don’t like how transient the EoTM system is and definitely like server pride, but we have a serious population issue. What about more permanent WvW server merges instead? Combine a T2 server with a few lower tier servers to balance out population. There’s 8 tiers now right? Maybe shrink it down to 5. WvW is the only thing your server really matters for now anyways, so merging them would make sense.

Play style: Tier 2 server, mostly run in a mid size guild. 1-2 hours 3-4 days a week in the evening.

1. I’d prefer to have all the major changes rolled back.

2. (NA player) My biggest complaint is the Saturday reset. Before, Friday night was work week over -> WvW start. Friday had the most action, and all of Saturday had consistent action that continued the rest of the weekend.

Now that Friday and most of Saturday are the end of the reset, they’re the worst nights for WvW. PPT is pretty much set and people are waiting for reset. It’s also pretty inconvenient for our Euro players because reset occurs midnight or later on Sunday for them, leaving very little time to enjoy the reset.

3. It would be nice to have a reward track for WvW of some sort. I know there are a lot of players that exclusively WvW and do not like PvE, so it would be nice to have more unlockable content in WvW so we don’t have to grind PvE (decreasing overall enjoyment). PvE, sPvP and WvW should really all be treated as separate games with the ability to get similar rewards.

4. The reward structure in WvW needs a revamp. The best rewards are from taking objectives (which are often undefended), and really should be from player kills or at least something more PvP oriented. PPT doesn’t really offer any sort of reward outside of the seasons. Why bother?

5. Please don’t make major changes to WvW without addressing the WvW community directly again. These surprise changes in the xpac have devastated the community in a very short amount of time. PvE can be a surprise because you’re adding new content, not replacing existing content.

6. Look at merging servers to even out WvW population. We want permanence, not an EoTM like solution. Instead of 24 servers, cut it down to 15 and have 5 solid tiers. WvW is the last game mode where server actually matters anyways, so combining them wouldn’t affect others. To reiterate, please do not mix them every week like EoTM.

Thanks for taking our feedback.
