aspirine.6852 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Don't have a wvw main, the mode is not interesting enough for me to do just that. I also did lots of pve :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Doom.4380 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Didn't vote in the poll because I don't consider myself a "WvW Main". These days, I play some WvW every day I log in, which is pretty much every day. How much depends on what's going on. Could just be some dailies, could be several hours.When GW2 started I barely looked at WvW for the first year. I started to get into it before the first tournament and became heavily invested from then on until Path of Fire came out. During that period, which was maybe 3-4 years, I played more WvW than any other game mode and I played it on two (sometimes three) accounts.What drove me was server pride. As that declined, so did my interest. I'm not interested in fighting other players per se, only in that they need to be killed to maintain the supremacy of my homeworld. Now no-one, not even me, cares much about home worlds, I can't really see much point in the game mode. Couldn't care less what guild does what. Been in a guild of maximum four people, mostly two, for seven years, which suits me fine. I am in a much larger guild that does WvW as well but even that hasn't done much organized play for a long time.Future of the mode is bleak even if ANet does ever get around to the alliance restructuring. As someone who also plays GW2 PvE I would say that has sufered almost exactly the same decline. It was good once. Now it's not and hasn't been for ages. Just waiting for something else to come along, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handin.4032 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Took a long break... but I've been back for a bit and loving it! Once I have more free time I will be able to start hosting Dolyak Parades on TC in EU (or early NA) times again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sviel.7493 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I didn't immediately start playing WvW when I got the game, so I'm not counting the time before that. Roughly speaking, I dropped into EBG right after the end of the last tournament. A week or so later, I went to the borderlands...and basically never left.The thing I miss most is definitely the emphasis on combo fields, but I'd love to see the amount of AoE pared down as well.

schokelmei.8271 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Started a necro and a warrior in week 1 of the pre-order time. Dumped the warrior after 2 days 60 and play necro since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkyn.3761 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I gave the wrong answer. Should read the question first. I have been on GW2 since beta. GW1 before that. Tried WvW early on and got stomped in seconds. Decided to leave it for a while. Only came back to it about a year and a half ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XatraZaytrax.2601 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 My first death in wvw those many years ago was because I jumped down too many stairs coming out of the keep and went splat. I was on my way to a huge fight in bay. Took a portal -- not really understanding where it was taking me -- and ended up in a mesmer bomb that took us into the middle of a full scale battle on the champion dias. I quickly died again and after running back this time purposely took the portal to my demise. Died literally 100s of times since and nothing has deterred my coming back.WvW is one of those thing. I drop in for my daily at 7 p.m. and berate myself at 2 a.m. when I force myself to get off cause I have to be at work at 8 a.m. I don't know why I like it. I just do. Being there gives me anxiety, heartache, adrenaline rushes (when my sneaky cata work), laughter (especially when I actually kill a roamer), joy, camaraderie, a sense of belonging. When I have had to take life breaks, logging on to EB feels some times like coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knighthonor.4061 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I played mostly back during the hype days at launch and then casually over the time since. Realized long ago the flaws of the game mode and the hype died down for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if Anet consider fixing EoTM, gives it some sort of unique reward i think it would become an old style WvW without mounts, glider(?).I never considered eotm real wvw experience, and probably never will. Its certainly not what made wvw. Stack for speed, blast fires before the fight, HAMMERSTUN!, regroup, blast waterfields, who put that kitten lightfield into the water?!Ps. I rarely play these days, but when i do its wvw, or stuff i have to do to get gear for wvw, and a little bit pvp for daily, but i get cancer by just playing one round of ranked.
