Hmm, how do I phrase it?
There is a huge potential for GW2 sPvP. My worries are that AN is failing to use that potential since the hype is over now and people like me, who don’t like the PvE aspect of any game that where super happy to get a competitive PvP without the need of farming equip or grinding levels, start losing the urge to login due to competitive PvP not being competitive at all.
It’s a huge problem for me that it’s either “HotJoin for Glory-farming”, “Solo queueing FTs to be paired up with the ones I stomped in the Hotjoins and getting destroyed by organized teams” or “Finding a team with a bit of coordination to just flatten everything that lurks in FTs”. Neither of those things is fun to me.
This is not about raging that I want something that was promised. Or that I need something or I’ll quit or any raging bullkitten. This is about ArenaNet losing the momentum and the chance to establish an E-Sport or an e-sport worthy basement to build upon. I’m simply worrying that ANet will fail. And I really like their whole game model and their philosophies.
But please don’t miss the chance. This niche is so unique and desperately wanted (atleast by me) that the success could be immense.
When people are losing interest in a game they won’t easily come back. As you can see with Diablo3. Blizzard screwed up big times. I don’t know how it works now but their leveling after leveling may be the thing that was missing. But I’ll never find out since I’ve completely lost interest in that game. The D3 funding model is not too far off from the GW2 one. An nowadays I know hardly anybody that logs into D3 anymore.
Ok, enough philosophy for now. I can’t really say new things. The obvious has been stated often enough.
