So what is the mysterious Gameplay Systems WvW Update?

Recommended Posts

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.

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. -->

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..

It might have been a future me that knowing you would try and create a topic that after getting out of WvW for reset and then bantering with guildmates, catching a shared show, bantering more, starting a Civ VI game and then check forums prior to sleeping to stumble upon would say say, 'Oh snap', 'WTW'. 

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.

Maybe it refers to the new consolidated vendor.

It wouldnt surprise me in the slightest. 

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.

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
