Riba.3271 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I have a theory that not only alliances were a bad idea as it gave people more reasons to quit the game than play it but also that as WvW is pretty much in maintenance mode for past few and all future years they would risk also the zombies that still do it out of habit quitting as they would be forced to rebuild their place at a new world.

Alliances aren't out yet so they haven't had to change their habits yet. Even though relinkings every 2 months have similar effects, just less destructive long-term, and are a joke too.

Not even gonna get new maps or additions; Its in maintenance mode and likely will sit upon the table until the stars expire. A-net doesn't care about WvW and they stopped when HoT came out~ This is more of a single player game anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luthan.5236 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think the roadmap mainly focused on PvE. And there even only showed the stuff where they can make it for sure within the announced release dates. Meaning: The story content people expect. And the usual festivals.And for voice acting for the story ... even there only a bit is announced. Though I guess/hope the other stuff should not take much longer. (But they just don't want to promise it too early.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justine.6351 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I still think trying to shoehorn alliances into current wvw gave them pause and they decided to roll out a new PvP format and someone was like "hey, lets do factions again!". I won't get my hopes up but from marketing standpoint it seems to make the most sense instead of this random silent mode turning into a giant meme. Although having you realm vs realm PvP turn into a giant meme isn't exactly good for marketing either :# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenthLife.5724 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 There is no resources nor people to make any of this a reality. There’s a lot of pve content to create, hence we’re left in the ditch, as usual.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halbarz.3854 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 It's been over 3 months since the last Dev or community manager post on this forum (except for the relinks) To me this says enough.People have asked for their input but they rather reply to someone on Twitter that made a drawing then give an update to their community.I would prefer that they say: Hi folks, WvW is not going to get that much attention but we are keeping an eye out. After the expansion, we will revisit it. OR Alliances are delayed/not happening we will focus on X. They are just letting everyone hanging right now. Ignoring a part of the community feels wrong. Especially with other MMO's around the corner or giving regular updates. Part of running an MMO or a live service is community engagement, this is partially done by keeping that community involved and informed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindBlade.8749 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 To be fair a lot of content are still missing in the roadmap, it's more a story roadmap than anything else. (don't mean alliance are comming or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shroud.2307 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Strictly from a selfish perspective, I don't care about alliances. If my life ever turns around for the better I'll be done with this game anyway. The only reason I continue to play and have for so long is because of things I can't fully control. I love WvW and GW2, but I'd never have even started playing if things didn't go the way they did.I'm just glad people continue to keep WvW alive and that combat is engaging enough to be fun after all these years. Alliances would be a nice change, but it's also an apathetic "meh" from me and I never felt invested in the idea from the beginning. I think a lot of people expected too much of it and even continue to do so. Absolutely it would change things, but I doubt if it would revitalize WvW entirely or that it would be the kind of excitement some are looking for. WvW is and can still be lots of fun without alliances, ANet just needs to be more consistent with their balance patches. Because that is truly the WvW content people want and need.

Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I've said it before and it worth repeating. ANET has abandoned alliances. They just haven't got the fortitude to be upfront with us about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
