Where is the new CONTENT?

[staticflare.1985]

Seriously someone tell me where? Path of fire came out four years ago, FOUR. It should not for whatever reason take four years to release a new expansion, this is just silly. I understand layoffs have happened and I understand that the development has slowed, but this game is going down the sewer quickly because people are leaving in droves with nothing to do. Spvp is a joke now, you let one of the best and most fun pvp games I've ever experienced die because of your negligence of balance and not giving spvpers new game modes. Every single game mode is "Capture the base, defend it and let your points go up". What about capture the flag, team deathmatch, king of the hill, SOMETHING? The same repetitive game mode since launch over and over again will ofcourse cause people to get bored and leave the game which every single one of my friends have done. This game has an amazing combat system, imo it has the best combat out of any MMORPG I've played. I play this game sometimes just because the combat is just that good, but if there is no new content, no new maps to explore, no new abilities, classes, etc etc people are going to question the developers and their actual care for the game. This game deserves better treatment and it's sad because the potential is unparalleled, no game comes close to the amount of fun this game brings, but if you are doing the same thing over and over everything eventually gets dull and people move on.

 

I've been here since launch and have enjoyed the game tremendously but I'm afraid I have to move on to FFXIV a game where new content is showered down from the heavens, the only reason why I'm iffy is because FFXIV has terrible pvp and im a pvp fanatic so I just don't know. Please Arenanet get this game back in motion and bring it to the top where it deserves to be.

Well, they've had a rough 4 years. They've done numerous restructures that have slowed things down, had layoffs, and had multiple changes in leadership. I'd wager the biggest issue was leadership or lack there of. They also had multiple projects seemingly siphoning off devs, and still could be, which led to them having to restructure constantly and be starved for resources. 

Hopefully now that we have some familiar faces back in the reigns they'll have a more unified vision moving forward. 

Here's to hoping the inevitable next series of pandemic shut downs won't further postpone the expansion.

 

[radda.8920]

Don't worry, the renewal is coming in February, it will happen soon! new Pvp mode , new wvw maps, raids, fractals, elite missions, dungeons, new professions; housing ❤️

 

ah no actually just 4 years waiting for fishing and kittening turtles  🤣

[Healix.5819]

It took 4 years because they weren't going to do another expansion, they were doing a new game; IBS was supposed to take "a couple of years" to play out in the meantime. EoD had only started around the time it was first teased.

 

As for PvP, they've talked about that in the past - they wanted to perfect the capture/hold style before trying something else.

[Stand The Wall.6987]

dw that level 80 boost fix is our patch content that will make things tick right again

[DanAlcedo.3281]

No new content in 4 years? 

 

Maybe all the content I was playing was just a dream then huh? 

 

 

[Eddbopkins.2630]

Pvp development is not allowed or no time allocated to their project board of development assignments.  Otherwise we have what the entire pvp community wants, regular steady balance updates/ meta changing for each season, map obstruction fixes and map push stuck fixes on the monthly at least. But pvp development is shuned upon in anet as far as i can tell.

[Sovarica.4368]

gw2 needs content like press a few buttons and tada here's your new balance and map then drink a lime soda drink and call it a day

[Ronin.4501]

Be glad you don't primarily play in WvW, where the only changes they've made since the introduction of the Desert Borderland is to continually make the class "balance" worse every 6-24 months.

You seem to forget the mount (which is not "class balance")...

 

Edit: Also, why is this thread in the sPvP subforum?

as someone who has played FF14 for 8 years they do not shower new content down from the heavens its drip fed and takes months between new stuff as it is now i have had nothing new to do for several months and nothing new until november..playing a game just for pvp i think is silly in my time on gw2 i mixed up pve and pvp and wvw im never bored and i only take breaks when another game i play has new stuff to do. but that's just how i see things disagree if u like im just saying what i think. have a good day now.

[Guirssane.7082]

At least a new map with cantha could be fun :'(, not asking for much

[felix.2386]

because this game isnt sub based and they have no funding to make any meaningful content, you dont see?

ff14 pvp as dead only slightly more populated then gw2 pvp now, still releases new mount and new skin for every new pvp seasons as end reward.

 

you have to realize, they have no funding to make anything.

none, there's no money, 80% of the new skins made after release are for cash shop

and kills it's only end game :fashion.

PvE is full of time gated daily boring achievement grind, no real content

WvW has no real content since HoT

not even mentioning PvP.

 

there's nothing, im woke and i havent touch it for 2 months now. you have to realize no sub kills the game.

gw2 on release had so much more content then ff14, ff14 on release was garbage, look at ff14 now, because they had funding to build up on.

 

you have to face the reality, either you suck it up because it is a one-time-purchase game or play another game. because this game barely has any funding to even make PvE content, let alone side content pvp and it will never change.

They purposefully killed pvp.
Maybe this is a play to put builds on gem store.

OH, so you were talking about WvW?  I assumed your post was about SPvP lol.

I'm answering a post where you are talking about WvW, why would I answer you with something irrelevant to what you wrote? Look closely, that's your name and what you said:

Please stop finding excuses for this game, or any game. It is what it is. PvP is the same since release, only balance changed, 3 arenas were added, plus Stronghold. That's it, nothing else. Comparing development between PvP and PvE is like comparing a planet with a whole galaxy.

 

PvP is dead in my opinion. It was not even mentioned in the presentation of End of Dragons. Too much dreaming is not good for one's health.

Relax buddy.  I was responding (in the 2nd instance) to the fact that you said, and I quote: "Edit: Also, why is this thread in the sPvP subforum?".

 

No need to be so defensive. 😁

[Genesis.5169]

Pvp is the ghetto of gw2.

If you wanna move to the good part of town you need to pve.

It's more accurate to say that structured PvP is sensibly the same than it was at release. However, it's not true to say that the devs didn't make any effort to introduce different type of PvP.

 

Be it kegbrawl, crab toss, survival at southsun, the various races or the various PvP oriented seasonal minigames, all of those are PvP and developped for the sake of giving PvP players some diversity. You just can't just toss all this aside and focus merely on the number of maps the devs delivered, or removed, for sPvP. (You even gloss over the fact that the devs put in a lot of efforts to bring rewards in sPvP and added things like deathmatch, 3v3 or 2v2... etc.)
