Does WvW feel fresh or stale to you?

I don’t play WvW very much at all so even for me it is probably the most fresh, aside from PvP. If all you do is play one game mode then yes it will get boring. It becomes monotonous, almost like a job and you begin to wonder why it is you’re doing it at all (because it certainly doesn’t pay the bills and isn’t fun anymore). I felt that way as well about 6-7 months ago with the game in general, quit for a few months and got back on only to quit again until 3 days ago. It’s fresh for me again, traits have changed, maybe not for the better though…

I do wish that WvW would get a refresh: new maps, new things to conquer, new rules to change strategies that people do like second nature. This would level the playing field some by closing the ignorance gap and maybe entice newer players to join as they won’t be, or feel, like the only ignorant person there. WvW is the most exciting part of this game imho and I think it’s due to the fact that you’re fighting other players, not computer programing as people aren’t always predictable. I’m surprised more people aren’t playing for this.

It really is too bad more work from Anet isn’t going into WvW, it could be much much better. Perhaps newer players will start playing WvW once all of you expert players have quit and everyone is “new again.”

The blatant and obvious name is pretty funny, especially when people have actually found a good place to hide, although they really can’t as everyone can see their name even if they’re at an elevation below when relatively close.

As mentioned above, determining an enemy’s location inside a tower/keep would probably need to be changed if #1 went into effect. Perhaps a red dot flash every 5 or even 15 seconds to give an indication of where an enemy player is, or a big red circle so that at least the controlling side can begin to look for the enemy but not know the enemy’s exact location.

Separate traits for WvW please!

Trait template is almost out of the question now that ANet are selling those re-trait gizmos on the TP.

They wanted to make it inconvenient enough for you to buy them, ergo, no templates/presets whatever you want to call them.

They can just sell “build slot” tabs in the hero’s panel for a marker up price. Once bought you can assign a build to it which you can swap out at lets say 10s(marked up from class trainer) anytime you want. But if you want to change any of the tab then you need to go t oa class trainer or have the gizmo bought to retrait those.

I would not mind paying premium for this feature, and I think Anet would make a good chunk of change from a lot of players this way as PvEers and WvWers love to change specs more than they do their underwear.

Why would they do that?! What they have now is the gift that keeps on giving! That is unless this tab costs a lot of gems (perhaps this idea was considered already or something similar but deemed less profitable)…Call me a pessimist but I don’t see things changing here.
