XenesisII.1540 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) As seen in the expansion/fall blog, we're supposedly getting a systems update for wvw, seems like everything else has happened already, expansion, bonus events going on now, Halloween soon, skills and balance update done, and now the Gameplay systems WvW Update is left. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/guild-wars-2-secrets-of-the-obscure-launches-today/ https://d3b4yo2b5lbfy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/f5649gw2-ex4-soto-launch-studio-update-roadmap-1920x1080.jpg https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/studio-update-september-2023/ Let's keep the World Restructuring out of that for now as they also said they had no time line for that either. So, what do you think it could be? Another round of reward updates? maybe update to scoring? maybe skirmish mode update? hot spot scoring? or by some miracle they managed to figure out how to fix snowballing on the weakest? lol naaaah. 🤷♂️ What else could it be? That confused emote was posted in record time, thanks stalker. --> Edited September 30, 2023 by XenesisII.1540 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chichimec.9364 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 (edited) Quote Many of the backend functions for balance and matchmaking already work at the WvW guild level. It’s extremely valuable for us to get consistent live data from players about how it’s working for them, so getting that system permanently online is now our first priority. Studio Update September 2023 Presumably it has to do with those "backend functions for balance and matchmaking" but what those are I haven't a clue. And, as we all know, asking Anet what that means is a waste of breath. Though I do appreciate you keeping the question alive.

But that doesn't seem like something that needs to be announced, since it's just backend stuff. And since they said they don't have a timeline for WR just this month, I think we can assume any part of WR systems is not the update coming. We won't get an actual answer from anet until it releases, just figured we could do some speculating just for the kitten of it, not like we got much else to talk about now.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaba.5410 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Maybe it refers to the new consolidated vendor. Can you believe it? Golems replacing people! Workers of Tyria should rise up and stand in solidarity to reject this takeover of their jobs by bots before it is too late! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit no coffee today, now you curse me for none tomorrow, its my own price for not sleeping. Doesn't mean I am not throwing toilet paper you way, just saying. That said, great points and need to think about. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically if it is WR then they havent breached the date yet (one month to go), the problem I still see is that we need a considerable heads up for a go-live date, several weeks at the very least. If Anet already knows that they are going live with the alliance-less WR on say 27th october, we should already know about it because they should have already told us. So TL;DR yes it was prolly the vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbill.7483 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 or more likely Anet sees this post and goes WTF!!! Crap, we forgot that. Hey, let's just claim it was the Vendors and we're done. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenesisII.1540 Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Oh my word, I wouldn't even consider that a gameplay systems update, it's certainly not something to list in a studio blog, and if it is..... we've pretty much hit rock bottom, scraping the bottom of the barrel for wvw announcements. 😩 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneirikb.7506 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Even the NPC's are abandoning WvW, and making robots to do their thankless jobs for them ? 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand The Wall.6987 Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 With the reprioritizing, we will not be opening the Alliances system to beta testing this year. We will refocus on delivering an always-on version of World Restructuring to players as soon as possible. From there we want to evaluate the new player experience, collect your feature requests, and monitor live data to allow us to make World Restructuring the best system that it can be. my guess is that they're gonna be doing that. i don't think its a good idea but we'll see i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
