Duca di Ebonhawke.1045 Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 What about giving us news at least for the first point of those two ? @Stephane Lo Presti.7258 _**World Vs. WorldScaling Objective RewardsWe’re looking to add some additional rewards to WvW. One of the big ways we’re looking into doing this is added rewards for capturing and defending objectives that scale up based on how big the action was. For example successfully capturing a keep that was defended by 50 players should be a lot more rewarding than capturing a keep that was completely undefended.**_World RestructuringWorld restructuring, commonly referred to as the Alliance system, remains our top priority for WvW. We’re not going into details on this post, since a lot of detail has been released previously. We are still not in a place where we feel comfortable releasing a target date, but we are still working on it.There remain big issues in WvW there are not addressed by World Restructuring. The biggest one is finding a means to make winning mean something in WvW without motivating players to burn themselves out trying to maintain 24/7 coverage. We have some early designs built around this and will be investigating them once World Restructuring is finished so it is a bit too early for us to go into details around the ideas, but we’re thinking about them.

Progress? We'll tell you when anything happens when it happens and not a moment before! And you will be grateful!We can report that the intern has made 238 cups of coffee this week and spent 68 minutes working on wvw, so things are progressing excellently and on current projections alliances should be ready by 2025 at the latest. Unless another NPC needs a new colour hat in which case that date may slip a bit. In the meantime our horse riding buddies will continue to defend the indefensable.(clearly this is tongue in cheek for those who don't recognise humour).

Duca di Ebonhawke.1045 Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Dear Anet, Stephanie @Stephane Lo Presti.7258 ,let me allow my two cents from my professional experience.When a customer , ( and in this case a loyal I play since GW and been since beta time in GW2 ), place a question and also in a manner way, it is a good rule to answer even with a generic statement but do not ignore if you do not want give the feeling that you do not care of your customers.I am sure you have been very busy, so I am confident you will find the time I hope soon for an answer.ThanksDuca di Ebonhawke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subversiontwo.7501 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Considering that the apr 02 update said they had the programming team working on it and the post-aug 30 outrage poodle said that they were going to have all hands on deck after swiss - we can safely conclude that they lied.Beyond that, while there was a roadmap on apr 02, that does not really constitute a vision because it just reaffirmed us that they would finish what they had begun two years ago (swiss and alliances) with little to no mention of what to expect beyond that, how to expect it or when to expect it. I'm not saying that we need to know any deadlines that can't be followed but a vision would imply having an idea of where you would like to lead things over the next few years. It would outline an ambition. At this point we know that they are working on alliances (or so they say, fool me once etc.) but we also have no idea what they want to do beyond that, they've only commented on something they could do, they haven't even affirmed that they actually want to do it or are willing to commit any necessary resources to it. The apr 02 update probably just had something Mike Z asked about from Ray-Ben's scrapbooks, asking them for a bone to toss.A vision would imply a direction to go down and at least some commitment of the resources required to get there. While a team with ample resources can still have productivity issues, run into problems or reprioritize projects, at this point we don't even know if they are willing to commit any form of tangible resources to WvW past alliances (or to sPvP, or instanced PvE, etc.). We know that they have four content teams for the sagas and the rest is pretty much a blur with a competetive team and a programming team that seems to be doing a little bit of everthing. The only vision they have commited to is the sagas.They mentioned how they were looking forward to talking about WvW in the comming months, yet it's soon midway through october now and not a single word has been uttered. Talking about something assumes communication and that requires something of a continuous dialogue which they haven't even begun yet. Not a single peep.They could easily shut the likes of me up with a simple announcement of committing 25 employees full time to WvW, to deal with the 7-year backlog of broken pipes and promises, to later take the mode into the future over a credible amount of stretches. That would mean that I would likely stop hemorrhaging friends and be more sympathetic to if the company hemorrhaged friends. It would also make me more inclined to buy gems than the Warclaw did. Cosmetics are a good way to monetize but we tend to buy them to support the company's work on the product. The industry people who wholeheartedly believe that we spend out of want in a world even if the world is not appealing are living a pipe dream. We pay for the product and the cosmetics only hold value if we care the product and it's world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
