Guild Wars 2

I almost want to cringe for bringing this up, but something like what the wilderness in runescape used to be like. How much more exciting would gw2 with a zone like that? No points, no objectives, no NPCs, just open world pvp. Seems like the one thing anet missed out on during development.

Heres my thoughts on it so far:

-Have 2 open pvp zones, 1 like wvw and one with spvp gear. This way everyone gets to enjoy it.

-Party members become friendly, meaning the max team size is 5 members stopping large guild zergs from dominating the area.

-Entrance would be a door that drops you off at one of many locked waypoints to stop spawn camping

-Have something like a random chest spawn every 5 minutes

-Small cooldown on returning after you die

Something like this could be a lot of fun, and lets not forget that gw2 is a game and games are about fun… not qualifying points and ascended gear. Any love for this idea on the forums?

World..Versus..World. Not many wp, party size of 5 (or how many ever with that silly commander buff), kill tons of red/green/blue coats. Not enough? We can launch cows and giant car sized arrows at you as well while defending our tower^^

But all jokes aside, the lore doesn’t support this idea. The races of tyria are supposed to be bonding to take down the dragons not fighting. Currently they don’t support you joining the Inquest, Seperatists, Son’s of Svanir, Flame legion, Nightmare court, etc so it just wouldnt work.

Lore aside, open world for the most part stand alone pvp would be a nice addition. If its story youre worried about any one of us could pump out a reason for the pvp zone to be palatable to the story

I’m not worried about breaking the lore, ArenaNet is. They shouldn’t break it still. PVP is all about glory or w/e those npc’s shout in LA about (talking about the mists in general). Open world pvp, which I assume you’re talking about like running around in ORR or something and claiming a territory, wouldn’t really attract anyone. It then just becomes who has the bigger guild and can stay up 24/7 and we already have that… in WvW. But with multiple guilds…

No thanks,I don’t need open world pvp in GW2.

No to pve zones that are pvp too because that would make the zones even less populated. But i made a suggestion where you have the possibility to have both in the same pve world. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Tagged-for-pvp/first
Ofc there will always be no sayers to open pvp, but this will allow those to even pve with those who want to do pvp. And it will even make it hard to go in zergs because you can then hit other people in the zerg. Going in groups would even make it more fun because you would have to coordinate alot more, like friendly fire in fps games.
For those who say that it don’t belong to the lore anymore: Correct me if i’m wrong but wasn’t there war between races earlier? And suddenly everyone stopped fighting each other because of the dragons, but wouldn’t there still be some internal fights? And there are still pvp in this game so i don’t see any reason that we should not be able to fight each other in the beautifull world.
And it would make people that like open world pvp happier since they would be able to do it and at the same time, people that don’t want it can watch the fight.

GW2 is a 98% PvE game sadly, so since its F2P im still here, once ESO comes i probably wont be here anymore. the devs focus 95% on PvE and the only things they do for WvW is try to bribe people into playing rather then work on making it more fun..
