Could you drop another one? These things only last 5 minutes and we have a lot of years left to keep these threads up. I need my buffs!

You’ve made my night. ?

Wishful thinking...I'd like to see an ANet version of a Road Map for WvW.

Updates are nice, but a Road Map is better.

It takes a lot of careful planning with a lot of insight into the game mode, but I believe it's possible...imho

Example Road Map:https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/89449/wvg-world-vs-globes/p1

Credibility requires critical insight & time.

They're probably having a good laugh about how some people still believe after (nearly) 3 years that something's coming.

You're probably right, but Hope is a powerful word...when details are lacking.

Might be selling point for next expansion.

hopefully, it is not just that, WvW needs next to alliances a big overhaul. There are so many pain-points in the mode as we speak.

if it's a no I am fine with it, the linking as it is kind of works. All I want to hear is what the status is for WvW, a roadmap

For there to be a roadmap, there needs to be a road. It's been so long now the roads are gone and nature has grown over them- all that remains are an echo of what once was and a whisper in the wind.

you are not wrong :open_mouth:The whole "we refuse to communicate with our community thing" is one reason why I would rather not buy the expansion.Besides adding alliances as part of the expansion would be a very cheap trick.

They repost stuff on twitter more per day then post on their forum in a year xD

Err...I mean;

Where alliance patch be???

Thats because the true alliance patch was getting us all on the forums to ally together and bump this thread.

Alliances was never about proper game balance and providing a positive experience for the players who took part in WvW.It was about the friends we made along the way.-Anet probably

I think there are many Alliances already in place, should we all join them or create a new one?

[FTW] - Forums Trading Words[WTF] - When The Forums[NOT] - Notoriously Off Topic[uNTIL] - Unified Never Till Information Loss[XPK] - Xero-humour Player KaBobs[KK?] Kooky Knowers Question

I suggestion coffee for all. Now what page were we on now?

Nope wrong one. Merge might be later, all good.

I don't. I know as fact at this point that Alliances were dropped because they will never give up that bandwagoner transfers income, but they don't have the kitten guts to admit it to us and just be done with the ongoing lie.

There is no need to waste ewp. there is enough time, you can walk slowly.

  • There used to be roadmaps, they just never followed them.
  • There still are roadmaps, WvW just isn't on them.
  • WvW probably isn't on them because they can't follow them and listing WvW would just keep highlighting that in a ridiculous way.
  • If they are to have roadmaps for WvW they need to have the resources to be able to follow roadmaps.
  • That doesn't exist and that is the problem whether we have roadmaps or not.

The roadmap for WvW likely still is Alliances -> Scoring -> Other (that has been reaffirmed recently enough and nothing to the contrary has been said)The paralell roadmap to WvW for competetive is likely still Swiss (Done) -> 10v10+ sPvP infrastructure -> More ways to explore Swiss (3v3, 5v5, 10v10 etc.)

I call it paralell because it is another system announced from the same team and there could be some content overlap for players/player communities.A guess is that they are banking on that WvW can survive a bit longer on fumes or rebuild and have pushed the 10v10 infrastructure past it in the backlog.That something like that isn't advertised is understandble as it would go against the purpose of what their hopes are pinned to but it's also irresponsible.

If there is something to ship with EoD it's more likely the new sPvP infrastructure and if marketing wants some sauce put on that, like Luxons and Kurzicks, its possible something like that may be tied into the 10v10 infratructure as a "new mode". The history, risk and responsibility of that can also be discussed.

Given ideas in recent discussion here: The roadmap for WvW should probably be Alliances (aka. the guild components threaded onto existing servers) without Battlegroups (aka. the server/matchup components) -> EotM/Lobby remapping and testbed -> Scoring -> Battlegroups, if you ask me.That would enable them to ship important pieces of the puzzle that could serve all submodes and subsets of WvW later on, if they can implement it such.All of those things could work under a Battlegroup system and under a Color system, they could coexist and they could allow other things to expand into.

Again, nothing else has been officially communicated so if they've already announced that they're prepared to give up part of whatever transfer revenue stream exists with the Alliance system, we will just have to assume that so is still the case. Thus suggestions for the same within a simpler pakage are valid. If that has been backed off Alliances serve no purpose and they should come out and say it, take the hit (which may be a deathknell) and scratch the table (for a third time) to find things to reasonably deliver on. They should also probably tell Ray because I don't think he's lying when talking to us B) .

and here we are again, knocking on Anet's doors for the promised changes.

What has been happening with World Restructuring?[...]I want to stress that while there has been a lot of work done, and we have made some really good and exciting progress, we are still a ways out from the launch of World >Restructuring and Alliances. [...]One of the elements that currently is functional on the backend is the concept of WvW guilds and players being able to select a WvW guild. We test this using debug >commands because none of the UI is in place, but the communication layers are there as well as the storage aspects of that data. This provides us with some of the data >necessary for grouping people onto teams in the matchmaker.Speaking of the matchmaker, I have completed a very basic implementation of a matchmaker that will churn through a huge list of players grouped by WvW guild and then place them on teams while keeping team sizes even. There is still a lot to do with this to get it to something that handles all the cases we want, but the early work and numbers look very promising.

comment about this would be higher appreciated than lucy's sky diamonds. i mean this "Lot of work done" and the 2nd post about fixing matchups is from 2 years ago.

sooo... @Cal Cohen.2358 ... are there news?

So, whats the point in this?

1) transfer restrictions after re-linking-> good idea, just do it

2) alliances-> already in the game, its just a QoL, instead of a guild leader that has to manage 500 members, an alliance leader would manage a dozen guilds that are doing their managing internally

3) deleting worlds-> just a terrible idea imo, it will turn WvW into an EoTM sandbox

So, how many additional years does it take to delete worlds? (not that I would be excited to see this happen xD)

3) dude, worlds get deleted the whole time kinda. population hops like wild, only small contingents of players stay constantly on one world.

like out of current desolation commanders from a former huge server, there is like one original comm left, and like 10-20 veterans (and more that only log in very rare and randomly)if we lost 120-130 players during one year, out of which many been long time population, what is really left of "the server"?

2) alliances as in bonds of Wvw-guilds aren't existing at all. most guilds are small or just newly formed, with many newby players in them.

and overall... status quo is = nothing

Alliances WHEN!?

Really? How hard it is to monetize it like you get out of Transfers ANet, cause we know that's what you're waiting for.

because monetizing it in any for outside of transfers likely is a death sentence for the mode, perhaps that might be what they are waiting for? The perfect way to kill it once and for all.

The current state of WvW is pathetic to say the least, anything will more than likely be better than the current joke this mode has boiled down to. I'm surprised Anet isn't noticing how they're killing their own game by allowing these bandwagon transfers and cheaters to take as much space as they do today.

They know. They don't care because the bandwagon guilds = Gem Sales.

My suggestion is uninstall the game and move on like I am doing. I've felt WvW was a shit on game mode from about year 2 . Transfers? I can't even play with the people I want to because full servers and the ridiculous retirement of money. Na I just uninstalled my game and am moving on. I got nothing good to say about Anet. They won't even do updates or have a Dev pop in regularly to give the WvW community a road map or monthly updates. How do you run a game like this? Guess I'm was as big as sucker as anyone else at this point, but after 7 years I've finally caught on they don't care so bu bye and don't worry I won t let the door hit my ass on the way out!!
