Guild Wars 2

The honest answer to your question is a support role will help your team overall, and WvW is a team based game mode. So yes, personally you may have less to show for it, but helping your team win should be a bigger incentive then personal gains. I know that is not the answer you want, and I think Anet made big strides in this game to make people work together, like gather nodes that don’t disappear for another player, and PVE mobs you get credit for with just tagging,, etc…Also I think the drop rate of Badges of Honor are not completely linear since sometimes I get a lot in a session and sometimes almost none, so that might still need some tweaking as far as drop rates. But, as a Mesmer and not a full time DPS, I feel your pain….

Wait, what? The Mists is the zone for Structured PVP, why would you go there to avoid PVP? If you mean the WvW maps, then well thats how WvW goes, its not a PVE zone, its PVP. Over time you will be able to unlock more vistas and SP’s….

I am pretty sure the bottom of the floor where his stands is “grated” as in not a solid floor. And, considering it has been like this through all the betas, I don’t consider it an exploit. You Still have to stand in the circle up above and cap, killing the keep lord is not the only thing you have to do to capture SM. If Anet want to change that behavior, then its up to them. Why not wipe then below before they kill the keep lord…

So far maps resets have been every 24 hours… not sure what you mean by 3 days for a reset?

3 home worlds + 1 Eternal Battlegounds = 4 different maps.

1) Wrong way to look at, being lvl 80 does not make you more important that a lvl 10. Gear and stats are minor, we all started in WvW as soon as we could, like lvl 2-3, so level doesn’t matter.

2) This is NOT the only PVP, they have a whole place called The Mists ya know(Structured PVP)? Also, the PVE mobs add to the battles, they attack siege equipment on hills and land, attack/defend supply camps and such. Also the vistas and skill points count toward map completion, so they won’t be eliminated either.

3) Everyone is free to contribute and/all information or strategy they they want to the battle. If you want to listen and follow them, cool. If not then thats cool too, do your own thing. No one is forcing you to follow….

4) The high price for commander icons was to make sure that only those who needed it would buy it. Our guild contributed to buy our commander icon for our raid leader, and now the “milita” knows who to follow when they do not have a guild or group of their own to listen to. I agree that it doesn’t mean having that icon makes you a better player or the one to always follow, but in our case its very useful.

5) Don’t ever compare this game’s PVP/WvW to SWTOR, they are MILES apart. This game works and its fun and its exciting and different. 3 factions, siege equipment, castles, keeps, supply camps, new matchups, etc….i I have had more fun in one week in GW2 WvW than I ever had in almost 6 months of SWTOR.
