Guild Wars 2

Dawdler.8521:

The only thing we need is half a dozen tag shapes to choose from, simple as that. I want to run around as the pink quaggan commander.

This is a great suggestion so I don’t expect this to be ever added to this game.

1. Yes, because of Elite Specs and Gear.

2. You get level tomes in WvW. Your bank will be full of these once you start playing WvW.

3. Yes. You’ll need ascended gear with the right stats. Get ready for some PvE because you’re not getting those in WvW.

4. Group: Necro, Guard, Elementalist. Roam: Thief, Engi, Mesmer. Conditions are completely overpowered and whoever tells you that this mode is balance, is lying.

Literally nobody asked for this.

Ironically, EotM, where this would actually be useful, won’t get this.

I’m not even surprised.

I had to login to back up your idea. I played a long time in a dead server (T3) so I know the struggle. Unfortunately, people in this forum are very against server changes because either they are in T1 servers and don’t want things to shake up or they’re bandwagoners themselves.

Only issue I can find in your plan is that ANET maybe doesn’t have the tech and might have to develop it. Building a system like this seems like a monumental amount of work and, in their eyes, wouldn’t change much: this is an abandoned mode that seldom sees any updates and it the new server system wouldn’t add to their bottom line.

Anyway, great thread. I’m afraid your ideas are a tad too late to salvage this game mode.

New armors are just another carrot in a stick. They’re designed to be grindy.

The downside is that once players realize the grind is too much, they will just quit the mode. It’s not fun playing 3 time zones for 5 days to get very little rewards while high ranked players can play much, much less and complete Diamond.

High ranked players don’t care about the low rank player struggle and even belittle them when they ask ANET to lessen the grind. The irony is that they don’t realize this is an abandoned mode in a dying game. Feel grateful you’re getting new players because it won’t last long.

I’m Bronze ranked. I played this game mode for 40 hours last week. I barely got to Mithril. I only got there because I got fed up with all this kitten and went to Overnumbered maps. It was a waste of time, because roaming for no reason other than keeping Participation up isn’t fun at all. Getting a negligible amount of pips while losing fights isn’t fun either.

Vets already get to diamond faster, which means they have to play less if the want to cap. Not only that, but they get to repeat diamond faster. Players on the bottom don’t get to diamond at all. They also have to play double or triple the amount of time a veteran has for lesser rewards. How is this fair? I don’t even care about the backpack, I just want to get Celestial gear on the godkitten vendor.

If I didn’t enjoy this game mode, I would’ve quit in the first week. I can’t imagine how frustrating it must be to those that actually decided to give WvW another shot, only to get +1 or no pips when losing.
