Mini.4806 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I, for one, think it's a brilliant idea to combine two game modes that are balanced almost in opposition to each other and add a layer of annoyance to a game that's appealing primarily for the segregation of PVP to a separate mode.

There are very good reasons why Anet decided to make a clear split between the cooperative and competitive game modes in GW2. WvW is the open-world PvP version in GW2. If you want to kill other players (that agreed to be killed) go to WvW and make scrims against each other. No need for open-world-bosses for your fights. Anet tried that already and it failed when they put more PvE-elements into a WvW map (in the first version of the desert borderland map). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To take down such a group would be even harder than solo capturing Stonemist Castle during prime time. Guess you'd have to just fight the world boss they were going to fight, but then you'd just be a playing PVE right? I'm sure PvE players would just turn themselves into big monsters to farm more efficiently, soloing meta events like Verdant Brink bosses. WvW players would have to go as themselves fighting the farmers instead to get some fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topic of the thread is (quote): "We need a time of the month where we can raid pve players in a pve rich environment" I think PvP in PvE is a very bad idea for GW2 and I wrote several reasons why. Maybe you can find other games that are better suited for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raid the instance of ppl killing jormag for example This would never happen, but also believe it wouldnt work the way you are thinking...so basically 3 factions on the map? One PvE players, other pk players and the last one NPCs? PvE players would never run alone, would just be farming simulator for them on steroids thanks to 3 times better loot, one zerg just steam rolling everything on its way, be mobs or pk players...also what would be the ratio of players allowed on the map? 1:1? More "PvE" players then pk ones? Terrible idea that would just lead to a farming zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the wvw design of 3 way is faulty Here you have your quests for the dragon and quests against the dragon therefore when you meet the enemy, your bound to fight. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gynok.1756 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 +1. But only if the map would be with pve skills and environment. So no damage nerfs or restrictions to consumable items or mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would that be handled? Also, some maps have multiple different dragon minions involved so you can't just say you're on the dragon's side. Also, couldn't the primarily PvE players also join the other side? Basically anyone could switch between PvE and WvW modes after all. Is that what you intend?

misterman.1530 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 They could repurpose EOTM. I mean, as an incentive, offer a Legendary to any PVE-only guild (made up of players who ONLY play PVE - hard to do with multipe accounts, but bear with me) who can last more than 1 min against an equally-sized WvW-only guild. Sorry, it would be a bloodbath. It would be funny though. "Boy, look at all those red circles! Hard to dodge them...hey, where'd all our boons go? How did we get so many conditions all at once?

Anything could happen. The rewards would have to be unreasonably high (like, economy-breakingly high) to attract PvEers to stay for any appreciable length of time.

I'll bring up the Desolation map for a moment, there are the players, then there's the awakened, and then there's the forged. All 3 are hostile to each other so 3 sides right there. All 3 are even involved in a meta event so it's not an issue to be dismissed. I was looking for something that would explain how this 3+ faction interaction could be done.
