Guild Wars 2

Hate to compare this game to wow but hey if wow can do it and be succesfull why cant gw2? I think it make the game more fun and exciting if they add this. If you guys aggree plz make this known to arenanet i rlly want this added in a future patch

I’d be down for this.
+ the queus would pop instantly.

ill start by saying I have no idea how this could work with map size and node point system we have now. Maybe it will be something possible in the future.

But that is beside the point. I think this is a great idea and it would make me a very happy gamer. It would be so much less hassle and work (keeping schedules aligned between peeps and finding people to play with, etc) as well as keep cues short and competition strong.

I forever +1 this idea and I hope it gets some attention and consideration for future development

Sounds great, I would like to see with the current class balance a 2v2 mode. Even in the future the way Anet has been going with their balance decisions.

EDIT: Not April 1st anymore The way the game is balanced would not work well for 2v2, or 3v3. But a for fun mode hey might as well get a custom arena.

I like this idea ^^

Everybody wants 1v1 or 2v2… But I want 16v16. Or a big pvp game. In GW1 they started 8v8, then in the 1st or 2nd expansion they had 16v16 or something bigger than 8v8 and it was a lot more fun. Heck what about 5v5v5. GW1 had it they had up to 4 maybe 6 teams going at each other, halls of heroes!

If theres anything I remember the most about GW1 its agony in pve and halls of heroes in pvp and whoever had the hoh had the underworld.

I think 2v2 or 3v3 would be great. I understand completely why they have shied away from GvG. The combat system is just better in small fights.

I would also be interested to see if the system could support 3-team games. It might be too much downed state management, though.

GvG is just a name. The format can be adjusted.
They don’t want GvG because having a clear objective would be against their design philosophy.

Neither. That was 12v12.

And no, HoH had 3 teams. Of 8.

You don’t seem to remember too much :P

Wouldn’t be bad btw, but I’m still suggesting to go play another game for that kind of PvP. What we want is Heroes’ Ascent! and without that kitten asura technology. Just pure magic, because that place had an aura. And not an asura! >_>

they should give 2v2 and 3v3 on arenas ,just killing ……
it would give much fun …..

If you want 16v16 or any kind of other size zerg vs zerg, there is wvw for that. Massive amount of people in my opinion reduce the skill required to win immensely…

+1 for 2×2 and 3×3, but that suggestion was here from autumn so nothing new : |

Custom arena’s would have been the perfect solution..
1v1-3v3 should be implemented as well as some SEMI-large scale arena..
All of the above would require new maps to accommodate for sizes as well as 3 way PvP would need new maps.
Anet should seriously consider making PvP more profitable as well as versatile.
at the moment there is 1..and only 1 game mode which is boring ol’ kitten conquest with the odd secondary objective.

once we’ll be able to rent custom arenas, i am 100% sure there will be a community driven 2v2 / 3v3 area.

However, since we have to rent the servers, there won’t be any button ingame where you can simply click and join the action.

Perhaps some ladder like ESL is willing to put up a league ( iirc they already proposed this to A-net )

Once A-net sees how popular this kind of gamemode is they perhaps add it ingame … at least i hope so.

2v2 would make me consider reinstalling after being away for so long.

Great idea!

I already saw here on the forums very similar posts about 2v2 / 3v3 Arenas in the past too, so definitely a lot of ppl out there want this idea to be implemented to the game. Looking forward to Custom Arenas so we can see, if it works.

If it were a death-match style, it would work awesomely. With ANet’s insistence on the conquest game mode though, it would never work.

3vs3 arena with ranking would be awesome, I think Anet should expand on the whole conquest capture the point, its getting really boring even with the different mechanicqs on the map.

I would instantly go back to sPvP if there actually were arenas, and to balance them around ONLY 2vs2 and 3vs3, NOTHING MORE as that is for capture the point teams or even maybe future CTF.

Even if they don’t bring GvG back, they have to bring HoH back. 5v5v5 was fun to watch.

2v2 and 3v3 deathmatch ftw pls Anet make this happen I think this mode of pvp would bring lots of people to gw2 retain alot of players aswell

+1 for this, 2v2 would be an awesome idea for the way the combat is in this game. 3v3 would also work. to implement it all i see is that they would have to create new maps tailored for smaller groups. maybe king of the hill or something or a classic deathmatch style system

A zerg is not 16 people because 16 people do not create orange swords in WvW.

2v2 and 3v3 would be so fun and would bring so many players from “the other mmorpg”

Cmon anet, make it happen already!
