Guild Wars 2

It’s up to developers to encourage this pvp. Too few people spread too thin will only result in everyone failing to find the pvp. EBG has constant pvp because it’s more populated. Why? People are lazy and don’t want to try the new map, sure. But why is it the player’s responsibility to try something new and different when more likely than not it’s going to be empty.

If the devs take out EBG for a week, people will be forced onto the other maps. They will learn the maps. They will find fights on the maps. It will be more fun. Most of the people I hear complaining about the new map say “I don’t like the new map, there are never any maps.” That’s got nothing to do with the map. That’s a lack of people to fight. It’s being dumped on the map because that’s an easy out. In reality, it’s the lack of people on the map that is the issue and if Anet really wants us to get on board with the new map, they need to find a way of forcing us to go there. Otherwise any guild that says “where should we go tonight” will immediately queue for EBG. It’s simply easier.

I assure you that the new map is just not fun. Shutting down EBG would be a horrible mistake that would invoke an extraordinary amount of rage.

How does ArenaNet make money from this esport thing?

Every time my guild fights on the new borderlands I find myself wanting to post rage on this forum. ArenaNet do not seem to notice that they have a great mode of gameplay with WvW that is going to fade away if they do not start responding to players.

The new BL is all about having more people.

The north half of the new BL and the new keeps are to convoluted. This has created a situation where it easier to back-cap the two keeps then respond to a defense. The keeps are so large it is difficult to force an attacking group back outside the wall once they have broken through.

It is simple for a attackers to approach the keeps undetected and even if they are spotted there is no way-point at the keep. Defenders have little opportunity to get into position.

It is a shame. Some of my most memorable fights where defenses of the Alpine keeps.

I do not appreciate the pve event in the map center at all. At least it could be broadcast over Team chat in the opposing BLs when our home BL has the event start.

Do you think Traveler runes would be to much of a compromise?

Please can we have one week without downed state in WvW as a trial? It may lead to a WvW revolution where tactics pay off for smaller groups.

I hope this is not intended.

Is there (could there) be an option to throw these at our feet with action camera active?

The challenging npc’s are a welcome change but the meager xp is really disheartening. Events do not give enough experience. I just want to play with a specialization but I do not want to work 6 months for that privilege.

It is really frustrating getting to a hero challenge and finding out it requires a mastery to complete. It would be appropriate to have some kind of info on the map to tell us the requirement.

3/10

Agreed. The original virtues as a choice would be great.

This is a PRANK, what prank has a button to turn it off?

Pranks are usually done and dusted in under 5 minutes.

Well we just got hammered in SoR borderland. Despite a garisson loss I am proud of the fight we put up against two big zergs who did not seem to engage each other til the end.

When I am in town crafting I turn the audio option to German language and this silences the npc’s.
