Guild Wars 2

Yeah, I also had some serious lags in SPVP the past few days. I don’t think it’s my system though. Hope this gets fixed.

Great post. Thanks, it was a good read.

Hey everyone.

After spending a lot of time playing pvp, i decided to share my views with you guys.
At first, I was pretty satisfied with the game, but after playing for some time, i felt like PvP lacks a lot of variation and strategy.
1. Hotjoin is a mess. Most of the time both teams run around in a big zerg, trying to kill each other. There is absolutely no strategy involved. I know ArenaNet wanted to give people a game-mode, where they could learn their class and combat strategies. But the truth is, you don’t learn much at all. Even if you try to cap a point, you’re going to get ganked by the enemy team, since your team is busy chasing this one guardian for half an hour. Sometimes i feel like an idiot, getting killed over and over, only because i wanted to cap a point. I don’t feel like playing strategically should be THIS discouraging.
2. This game lacks pvp-content. It gets boring, playing the same game-mode on the same maps over and over again. I’m not saying, that capturing and holding points is a bad concept. All I’m saying is, that there’s nothing else there.
Where are the e-sport-features? What about a simple guild vs. guild 5on5, or 3on3 on new maps? Maybe even a guild-ladder? This would actually feel like Guild Wars. The people are getting impatient. There are only a couple of serious teams left. At this rate, GW2 will never be an e-sport.
Also, please leave underwater combat out of pvp. It’s a mess.
3. Encourage class and build variety. Everytime I play, it feels like playing against the same classes and builds. Guardian-bunker, mesmer-shatter, necro-wells… .
A good beginning would be to fix the AI on necro-pets. Maybe we’d actually see a couple of effective minion-builds then. You could also encourage people to play an engi. I feel like they’re a bit weak right now.

Anyway, I think those are the major problems at the moment.
GW2 has a lot of potential, but the community is getting tired.
So please do something.
