Guild Wars 2 Shop

Hello Tyria,

Today we released a blog post covering our road map for PvP rewards. At a high level, these are our long term plans that will take us a good way into next year. Some of the phases have already been put into place and some are coming next week.

If you haven’t done so yet, please take a look at the blog post:

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/play … s-roadmap/

Knowing what our high level plans are, what we would love to hear from you is what you would like to see from rewards in PvP?

Here are the general CDI ground rules:
1: This initiative is all about discussion.
2: We will not be disclosing information pertaining to what is currently in development.
3: Anger and emotion will have less impact than intelligent discussion.
4: Together we will share and evolve design philosophies which will impact how we develop the game moving forward.
5: Aggression and disrespect to a fellow community member or developer will not be tolerated, and in the extreme could lead to the shutting down of the initiative.
6: The teams primary focus is work toward the development of GW2 and therefore posting of discussion and commentary may not be as frequent as you like. Please do understand that the initiative is taken very seriously by us all and that we will be reading the discussions and joining in as often as it is possible to do so.

Thanks,
John

Hey All,

Thank you very much for your participation. I’ve just spent the past couple of hours reading through every post on this thread. There is a ton of great discussion going on.

The point of the CDI is not for us to talk about specifics about what we are working on but to open discussion with and between all of you. That said there are some pretty big misconceptions that are going around that I’d like to clear up.

First off, on Dec. 10th we are adding a new vendor that sells items for both glory and gold. Players will not be able to simply buy all the rewards with gold but will also need to use glory which amounts to time spent in PvP. This vendor is temporary until the next phase rolls out. It will be there so you can spend your glory before the new system comes into play. The new system inherently factors in time. We will discuss that system more when we are ready. As soon as we are able, we will let you know when the glory vendor will be removed.

Regarding new skills, PvP will continue to have all existing skills unlocked for players. Only new skills will require unlocks. The number of skills currently in the game can be intimidating for new players. We would like to allow them some time to learn the base set while they work towards unlocking the new skills.

Regarding gold rate, the rates chosen are based on what players can expect from average play in other areas of the game, not on farming rates. It is not our intent to make PvP a better place to farm but to make it about on par with what a typical player can expect in other areas of the game. Some of you have correctly noted that time spent in PvP doesn’t contain many of the gold sinks that PvE players experience and this has been factored in. We do want to encourage players who haven’t tried PvP to come give it a shot because they will continue to earn the rewards they get in other parts of the game. We don’t want people to feel this is where they must to go to maximize their rewards. We will adjust rates if we feel it is necessary.

Regarding exclusivity of skins. Since skins will be shared across the game PvP will be getting exclusive skins that require participation in PvP to obtain. These will be able to be carried over into all other areas of the game. I think this was a little unclear in the blog post.

There was some confusion about the achievement rebalancing. We split up some of the pools of points into additional tiers and we added more tiers on top of that. This is to allow players to get more regular achievement rewards. Your total achievement points may go up, they won’t go down and you should hit tiers more frequently than before.

This has been a great discussion thus far, thanks a bunch for your feedback. By far the most discussed topic on this thread has been the plan to remove ranks. So here are some questions for you.

Would you keep rank acquisition the same as it is now?

If not, what would you do to improve rank acquisition?

Thanks again!

John

New skills being added to the game will be unlockable via skill points. This also applies to new utilities and elites. For PvP specifically, this means you’ll need to purchase Tomes of Knowledge to level up your character and unlock skill points.

Si ils font en sorte qu'il y ait si peu de différence du gain d'or entre une partie gagnée et une partie perdue c'est quand même abusé.
30 argent par parties perdues je trouve que c'est beaucoup non ? yikes

Tu parles de succès Neph, y aura une rétrogradation de points de succès pour certains succès déjà accomplis ?

I’m going to close this thread as I think this topic has come to and end, I wanted to thank everyone involved it’s been a great thread here is a summary of the discussions, this is a list of the main topics that where discussed and not a list of upcoming features. As with all CDI threads will bring the info gained from these threads into our discussion internally.

Commander Visibility
    More options for the Color/Shape of the tag itself. This could be tied to functionality or rank of commanders but mainly targeted around organization.
    Removal of buff display to enemies. As well as we should avoid doing skills/abilities that highlight the commander to enemies.
    Ability to limit visibility to a sub group, party, guild, ect..
    Tag sizing. (I debate this a bit as when you auto size the tag you can often lose the ability to see how far away something is but it was brought up a lot so listing it here)
    Add squads to LFG system.

Commander Tools
    More detailed supply info that’s always up. (Increased radius)
    Ability to create sub roles within a squad.
    Current squad tools are rarely used.
    Seems to be some debates on buffs to followers, but there is a lot of good examples of ways to do that.
    Squad size needs to be increased.
    Ability to group up parties or other commanders to form different squad organization.
    Improved chat suppression for commanders
    Commander announcements (yellow text across the screen)
    Open/Closing Squad tools

Commander gating
    Current 100g gate isn’t the cleanest gate. (Whole goal behind a gate is to limit the number of commanders out there.
    Gating using WvW abilities seems to have some debate to it, but seems like something we should avoid.
    Account bound commander tags vs character bound.

The next CDI thread will be run by Chris Whiteside starting on Wed 12/11 the topic will be Progression.

Once again Thank you these threads are a joy to read and cause many great conversations and discussion here in the office.

Hi All,

I will be chatting with Izzy, JC and Devon this morning to see when they would like to wrap up. The next thread will be around Horizontal and Vertical progression and will depend timing wise on Izzy and Devon’s decision.

Note we won’t be doing another Process evolution until the next topic is discussed.

Chris
