“Unfortunately, developing new skins, stats, gear, is not a quick nor easy improvement, as these things need to be extremely thoroughly playtested.”

Yes, but you could bring back the mistforged weapons and add some ascended gear skins you copied from pvp with some basic copy pasting and little if any playtesting, its not perfect asthetically but it would be quite easy for arenanet to add some skins and ascended gear as rewards.

(This is really just a day or two work for a developer..)

It wont fix everything, but it may very well make some more new ppl try out wvw if they can get an ascended armor piece or two and some cool looking weapons. And by now, i think k-trains are not the biggest worry for wvw..

Context:

For the last few years i mostly played gw2 for the WvW part, i spend money on gems, and had a great time. I still have some fun but there are less and less people to fight, and not many reasons for new players to try WvW.

It is obvious that WvW needs some structural improvements in terms of balance, but i would like to offer some simple suggestions that can be implemented with very little developer time:

  • Communicate at least a little bit about what we can expect from WvW, we can deal with some disappointments, but we cannot deal with a continued communication blackout.
  • Bring back the Hero’s Mistforged weapons, just add a reward track for this.
  • Add some ascended gear to the reward tracks, copy paste from pvp.
  • Recolor the pvp ascended backpack and add it to wvw.
  • For the love of god, do not spend your resources on making another new map.

I would love to hear what other suggestions people have that fit the “no huge developer time investment” category, so please add your suggestions!

Fun fights, against that warrior i’d suggest something like sceptre/pistol and sword/torch with PU and full condi gear or such instead of your 2nd build

Hi there,

I have some problems with using command line arguments on OSX, i followed the instructions at https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments, and edited my Cidersettings.plist file to include the following line (as a test):

<string>—cmdline “-windowed”</string>

Expected results: gw2 starting in windowed mode.
Actual results: nothing changed.

My original goal was to use a “-email fake@fake.tld -password fakepassword -nopatchui”, this also doesnt work, i am not completely sure if i should seperate each command line option with quotes or just use one long line, but neither seems to work.

<string>—cmdline “-email fake@fake.tld -password fakepassword -nopatchui”</string>
<string>—cmdline “-email fake@fake.tld” “-password fakepassword” “-nopatchui”</string>

I also tried the above with additional quotes around my email adress and password, like:

<string>—cmdline "-email “fake@fake.tld”-password “fakepassword” -nopatchui"</string>

Any input would be appreciated!
