Aspect arena and aspect of PvP boredom

I’ve just logged into game and I noticed that event activities are still available.
So I guess that Anet changed thier policy about “living world” and temporary stuff.
Thank You Anet so much, for that move!

Here is my suggestion:
Could you implement Dragon Ball and Aspect Arena into game permanently, like you did with Crab Toss, Survival and Sprint?

But not exactly like that. Aspect Arena is team game, and has a lot of interesting mechanics in my opinion. Why dont add it into Heart of the Mist and make it another game mode. Im pretty sure that PvP teams playing conquest(capture and hold points) all over and over again will really appreciate 2nd game mode, that also require communication, reflex and teamplay.

Of course Aspect Arena is not that competitive game mode like current PvP. Make it just a minigame, that u can host and join in hotjoin or meybe permade team queue to it.

I think that it will make people play Aspect Arena for relax, after few hours of ladder sPvP struggle. Instead of making them escape to another game.
(Im talking about PvP players that dont enjoy PvE)

What do you think about it?

Not a great idea for such a young MMO

That way they could change the world whenever and however they wanted but people could, for example, talk to a Durmand Priory historian and live through the timeline whenever they join (or rejoin) the game.

Actually, it’d be a shame if the magnificent tower of light that contains all those tablets and scrolls at the heart of the Durmand Priory didn’t serve a purpose like that:

+9999 to that idea

Also +1 to whole thread, its good that they try to bring some players to old zones for harge event. But I guess they forgot that people will leave this zone as soon as they finish event, especially if they cant repeat it after a month or few.

New PvP system, Tournaments should be removed

IMO actual tournaments should not be removed, but should be renamed (to random tournament or something) and new type of tournaments should be added. I think about GW1’s daily tournaments. That was great idea, ppl could play them 3 times per day so “all” interested players were gathered in one group. Thats important problem of GW2’s tournaments.

My feelings after winning GW2 tournament: Hell yeah, We are the best team… compared to 7 other… that circumstantially wanted to play at the same time as We… I want to play PvP cause I like to compare myself to rest, but I cant cause current style of pvp wont let me to.

My feelings after GW1 tournament (HB exaclty, 1v1 arena): Hell yeah, I may not be the best, but I faced about 90 ppl. I want to play next tournament tomorrow. I saw tournament roster, I saw whole list of my enemies, my current score. I know how good I am, etc, etc, whole “climbing up the ladder”. While gw2 has no such thing, all I can do is check if I can beat 7 random teams.

TL;DR:
GW1 has great PvP tools (tournaments, ladder, guilds, a lot of maps/game types, templates, REWARDS worth some ingame money, observator mode…)
GW2 completly lacks nearly everything… (only pvp items’ npc and skins are done at decent level)

Why not just copy all that stuff from GW1 to GW2??

Srsly people,
Am I blind or stupid? I dont see any dramatic changes done to staff in this patch notes:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/news/Game-Update-Notes-November-15-2012

Only tooltip fixes (if we dont count RTL and magnetic grasp).
Im not playing staff ele nor active pve. So I dont get that staff nerf.
Please enlighten me in case of staff nerf.

Its fixed if im not wrong.
But anyway +1 for on/off idea.
Im trying to get 100% of the map, but that star… meh, if itrz pernament then it make 100% completion less interesting or even worth avoiding.
