Ultima Online was absolutely groundbreaking. Adored it, ugly bumps and all. Kinda hate that the Everquest model (WoW clones) took off instead of the more sandbox living world UO.
WVW in GW2 was a blast for a while. A shame they never dedicated more to it.
Still have a little hope for Camelot Unchained, if it ever sees the light of day. Designed for Realm vs Realm top to bottom.
WvW was the best thing about GW2 period. For the longest time I didn't understand why you would allow that game mode to die off when it had the opportunity to become a cash cow.....Now we know why. The devs are all snowflake commies and their behavior towards WvW is inline with their narrative.
UO was perfect though....I tried a player ran shard a while ago with some old players I knew. Not the same since technology passed it by. Sad
Betting after the current LS ends WvW gets the badly needed face-lift. Then the next quarter Selbbub makes its face known and we go into Cantha to learn about it.
I played in 2017 or 2018 and enjoyed mostly WvW. I’m interested if you could describe what changes were made that ruined it? It’s hard for me to imagine that it was once even better.
Ya it was....R.I.P. WvW 2013
Probably the most fun I've had in an MMORPG ever.
It was up there I'll admit. I still rank the original Ultima Online as a superior experience.
But the GW2 WvW experience at release was easily top 5 IMHO.

CU is vaporware let's face it

I won't hold my breath....last xpac I got a stupid rifle
same.
WvW was easily one of the best PvP systems in any MMO that I've seen.
Yes it was very refreshing to play. Very fast paced and you could quickly get back into the action unlike the game that inspired WvW, DAoC

Prior to those changes you had to rely on combo fields to survive in group PvP.
There weren't any classes that shit out boons at a press of a button nor classes that could keep up max stacks of boons forever.
You had to be very organized to properly heal, clear condi's, and apply boons.
I was also a part of a team of 10-15 players who regularly took out 20-50 players at a time and at times full map zergs like 80-100.
It honestly sounds to me like it's more balanced now, then. I had an absolute blast playing WvW constantly.
Nope not at all.
