bighead.3465 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Big changes are coming. Some less expected than others. What do you think will happen in the next episode of GW2 PvP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Ketsu.4569 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 What the layoffs and restructure most likely means is we will be getting the next expansion out faster. If you look at NCsoft quarterly earnings you will notice a few things: https://massivelyop.com/2016/02/10/ncsoft-reports-q4-2015-sales-surge-for-guild-wars-2-bump-for-wildstar/ https://mmos.com/news/ncsoft-reports-q3-2018-earnings-mobile-continues-dominate 1. GW2 Is not an unprofitable game. Games like wildstar and city of heroes had way less earnings. The "zomg guild wars 2 could get shut down!!!" conspiracy is likely wrong. 2. GW2 sees massive profit spikes from expansion releases 3. NCsoft likes money So NCsoft will probably tell Anet post-layoffpocalypse that they need to use the rest of their 250 or so employees left to focus less on free content and more on paid content. TL;DR we could potentially be visiting Cantha or wherever the next expansion is before the next living world season. Expect to see more tantalizing gem store items ( Like blatantly better versions of convenience items that exist now ). Oh, and the next specializations will be power creept to the moon and back. We could also see GW1 Mobile :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Boyer.6524 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 I think the community should be a bit more cordial about these people who lost their jobs. Maybe ease off these threads a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddbopkins.2630 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 This is a very volatile question and choices. I cant choose, i want pvp to grow such as new game modes equal or greater to the options that were available in gw1 but if you look at the 6 year history i dont expect it to happen. These things take time and will not happen over night. Its already been 6 years and all we got was a failed stronghold. Its time to face the facts here people and quit with the begging and move on. If therr was any light at the end of thw tunnel with new modes it surely been shut down b.c of the lay offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the PvP worked, yeah I might even quit GW2. Imagine that game on my iPad pro. 0,0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anet was taking WAAAY too long to implement them and basically going: "Wait mom! Five more minutes! Ten more minutes" to NCSoft who, not the company with the best record, gave them PLENTY of time.

Dadnir.5038 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 The lay off will just slow down PvP balance patchs. Nothing more, nothing less. All in all it won't impact the gamemode that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crab Fear.1624 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Probably more paid content and less free content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what content they could sell u for pvp which would bring back played to pvp as well? Because before u can make people want buy u must make them want play with fun. After that the list is endless of stuff u can sell. Finisher victory pose/ dance Battle stance / relaxed stance Skill animation/ colors (green light magic guardian spells for example) Team outfits with ur name or number on the back (armors) Costume arenas with chairs inside .... Costom voices But without enough fans it’s hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daishi.6027 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 E-sports died long ago, the biggest culprit of which being conquest has been endlessly pushed. This part of the entire game makes the lowest revenue and brings in the least players. Unless there is a new team taking this in an entirely new direction we’ll probably be status quo. Up to you if you decide that is truly dead or not. In truth the scene thrives but only by the loosest definition. I don’t think the restructuring and layoffs are going to make much of a difference, but fingers crossed for something positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
