Thanks, Ben. You, too. :)

Don't go insane in the membrane

I just wanted to give a quick update before I left for the weekend on the thread we posted a couple weeks ago. We're still in the process of going through all your ideas and figuring out what we can do. Once we're done, we'll prioritize them and start getting them set up on our backlog.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for all the communication, and have a great weekend too!

Great communication. Thank you!

That was some insane amount of feedback u got in that thread. Just goes to show how many people care about wvw!

You take weekends before the job is done?Thanks for involving players in these processes and thanks for the update :)

Thx for the update <3

QoL is all we see in WvW in terms of updates.

When will we get a real update, and not a PvE map!

I guess that is all a matter of perspective. Two things that people have consistently made loud noise about being implemented are on the way:

Alliances

Skill splits from PvE.

Along with tweaks to balance without outright hammers, and work towards equalizing condi and power.

New maps won't solve the problems that WvW has.

I think over the last 4 months at least, that things are on the right track.

Thanks @Ben Phongluangtham.1065 & @Raymond Lukes.6305 for the update.

Agreed! Thank you @McKenna Berdrow.2759 as well. Let's make WvW amazing again!

Thanks again for all the ideas!

I hope a Static reward track was one of those.. So many times I finish a reward track.. and wasted points go into another reward track I don't need because I didn't notice.

Back of the list item, any way to change the opacity of guild member yellow dots showing up in WvW maps? Some PvE maps you can see them bright yellow easy to spot but in WvW they can blend with the background. Requesting an option toggle btw.

You can phrase it any way you want, but QoL will always just be QoL. It will never be content.And I am sure your metrics already show you the results of the only content update WvW ever got in 5 years.QoL improves on the current.#

As for discussions, we can never have a discussion with any of you due to any criticism which does not come with a positive spin being ..................

Sort of have to define content then too. If it's defined by "playable" then the only content are(is?) maps. They can't really throw classes (which are also "playable") in since that affects the other game modes. Of course...I think the smiley face is there for a joke. Regardless of whatever out of scope ideas the players presented...the ANET team(s) will ultimately decide what is feasible.

What, not going to go for that idea someone proposed about making three new maps to rotate on the borderlands? =D

I'd be more interested in what you mean by backlog.What are the past backlog WvW updates that have been rolled out?

It would also be nice if you could explain why some suggestions were ruled out. If the scope of the suggestion is too large maybe a smaller bandwidth would be acceptable?

@Ben Phongluangtham.1065 said:Backlog is a common development term for a list of things intended to done at some point but are not being worked on at that moment.

I doubt we we’ll go idea by idea and discuss why or why not we’ll add them to the list. There are just too many. If you folks want us to work on some of them, we have to have some time away from the forums. ;)

Nice! Ima try and make a backlog for my exam!

jkjk ;)

I'd like to see the option to set different keybindings for WvW. Also reduce the level requirement for the mistforged gear, it's complete overkill even when compared to stuff like the legendary WvW backpack and compleatly disincentives people to play any other content the game has to offer if one wants to have a relistic chance of actually getting these items.

I'd like to see some changes to veteran creatures which only serve as a daily filler.
