Guild Wars 2

The only thing we get screwed out of us our loot bags!!

WvW ranks for your account would be awesome.

It could take awhile to get them up. Just to add some post cap lateral progression.

Titles
Armor/weapon skins
Out of combat speed buff (wvw only)
Karma/xp/money/magic find bonus (wvw only)
Badge drop increase
Reduced cost to build siege.

Etc etc etc.

But of course you’ll see this post flooded by all the people who think any progression means power creep.

Lets see,

Siege them to death, Stack AoE on them, have one Mesmer invis portal into them then havea a guardian with a shield come in and knock them all away from turret. Better yet do all three at the same time!

I just walk away. No reason to have people think they where more then a bag of meat between me and my target.

Winning team random poster:

Woohoo good fight guys way to keep it close
Or
It’s a blow out and it’s all you other servers fault for now showing up
Or
We rule!! Y’all suck because we got 1000000 people transferring to our server but we where awesome even before we had them you just didn’t notice it when where in tier 6.

Random losing servers posts.

Good job all way to keep it close!
Or
We are losing because even thou I have no proof nor do I do WvW at all I know you are exploiting and I will have proof as soon as someone else agrees with me!!
Or
We would be winning if random guild(RG) didn’t leave our server for yours!!
Or
kitten you kitten! You can go suck a kitten and blow it out your kitten

Look I just saved you a lot of reading. You can thank me later.

I would have to agree that not having to wait to do wvw is a plus. Also running over a larger less organized force does get the blood flowing.

Back capping supply points after the Zerg moves on, attack towers on the far side of the map away from the Zerg. Most importantly we stay mobile and come in from the back to kill siege when our server is defending a tower. Siege breaking is one of the most important things a small group can do because it release pressure from the defenders and most time rallies them to make a push outside of the tower.

I see that people are reading this any feedback would be appreciated.

Let me start by saying, I love WvW combat. It’s what I have been waiting for in an mmo since I moved on from a game that is well known but showing its age. As or right now I’m on ET and well I go out and fight whenever I’m on we are losing bad it’s pretty much a blow out and looking across the brackets this seems to be a common problem. So here are my suggestions on how to bring WvW more in line with what I beleave it was intended to be.

Short term changes.

1) swap buffs from under manned and relics. Making the strong even stronger is not really helping motivate people to keep up the good fight.

2) limit the server transfers by average wait time for wvw, transferring to a server with no to less then 15 minutes average wait is free, to a server with 16-59 minutes 800 gems, to a server with 1 hour +, 1600 gems

3) roll back to a 4 day game till things start to even out server rating wise. Right now we can’t get a good rating due to people moving servers so often.

Longer term changes.

1) maps need to grow larger, as is it is to easy to move a Zerg around the map limiting what a smaller group of players can do.

2) add a realm rank system that adds a sense of progression for your character in WvW. This can be done by adding thing like skill points for ranking up, non combat movement speed increase (bigger maps would make this good), titles, armor skins, increase karma from wvw, increased silver from wvw, reduced cost of siege, decreased cost of badge items, increased badge drops. This is just a small list of things, ranking could go from 0-100 and could take a long time to get. This adds a reason to keep fighting even if your server is being blown out.

3) with the map change, remove pve events from the wvw map, add a pvpve dungeon to wvw, this dungeon could have an entrance from each bl map that has pve events that move you deeper into the dungeon and closer to your enemy ultimately having hard bosses to fight well at the same time trying to keep your enemy off you well you complete it.

Anyways these are just my suggestions, I’m a mechanic not a game designer so take it easy on me guys! Thanks for your feed back and suggestions in advance just incase I can’t get back to your replies in a timely fashion.
