Guild Wars 2

This would be the ultimate battle royale sorry just having random ideas tonight and posting them. So I guess there would be some type of battlefield and objective but ultimately it would be every class for itself would be so much fun to see 30 rangers running down a hill towards 30 mesmers only to realize in the midst of the battle thieves were there the entire time cloaked in waiting. Engineers and Warriors clashing fun fun fun what do you all think any more ideas???

Huge balancing issues aside- sounds fun.

Seems fun , but most likely will make complains about balance reach a whole new level.

Good idea. But two professions that will severely dominate with this. You guessed it. Thiefs and Mesmers.

Just imagine a bunch of thiefs grouped up….. oh the nightmare. You’ll see people just dropping out of nowhere, getting killed by the air. Then one second too late, when you just realized it was all a bunch of thiefs, your pretty much dead anyway.

Same goes with mesmers. One mesmer = 4+ clones. Now imagine a group of 20 mesmers. 20 × 4 = 80 clones. What the fudge.

These 2 professions agains’t each other might be a fun entertainment. But again’st the rest? It would be a wipe out.

In the end it’d be just a battle between the 2 best professions. Thief’s and Mesmer’s fit the bill in that area of PvP.

lol yes the complaints of balance would run rampant and i was thinking to reduce chaos and lag have class brackets of maybe teams of 5 tourney like. Say rangers vs thieves they a;; go cloak but the rangers all set traps and wait for them whilst spamming autos lol just trying to put the ideas into perspective somewhat sorry im sleepy and scattered

they would have to ban mesmer clone for Class Wars lol XD the 80 clones made me think twice

Maybe to make it interesting, no stealthing, blinks or any kind of alternate self summons (clones) is allowed. That way everyone has a fair chance of seeing the opposing force and can move forward from there.

I promote class warfare!!!

ehmm you can max have 3 illusions out at a time, so that be 60 clones, but a good deal of them would likely be phantasm’s too, so that even less clones, not to mentiong any of the classes (say ele?) would good aoe would wipe the floor clean of clones and phantasms in no time. That not to say mesmers wouldnt be good, they certuanly would be, xD with just a little cordination you could chain permastealth easy or perma quickness quite easily too…

… LOL that would not be fair, you be taking away a good amount of thieves skill, and even the memsers MAIN mechanic (shattering, which requires clones or phantasms to be used…)

Ah wellz. Would be nice to see a bunch of Ranger’s in a mass PvP. Pet’s everywhere. Birrage spams. Ahhh… I can only dream.

Ah a class struggle type of pvp. Okay. So on one side you have the rich 1% with 99% of the money, and on the other hand the 99% with scraps. The battle would be about forcing the rich people to share the money the legitimately earned by proclaiming WE’RE THE 99% which for some magical reason should result in other people giving up what’s theirs.

Oh sorry reread OP maybe my idea isn’t such a good one, it also didn’t work in real life. I support OP’s suggestion though, seems like good fun although impossible to balance. As an event thing it would be cool.

Make “finish ’em!” cancel out every buff upon beginnign of cast (meaning aegis, stability, quickness, etc would all get ripped off of you), completely unusable in stealth/mist form, and auto kill all clones upon beginning.
…and you would have a good clean fight.
