Guild Wars 2

Hi, i will first say that i love this game but i got a suggestion that i think will give more freedom. My suggestion is that u can tag yourself for pvp, and then u can pvp with others in the pve world. This mean that people that don’t won’t to pvp will not get affected at all, but they can watch some fun fights.
People that turn on tagged for pvp will get a sword icon above their head,
and can then attack other people that have the tag too.
I also think that when u untag u have to wait 10 mins before the tag is gone, the reason for that is so u can’t just suddenly tag for pvp and gank a guy and then just untag. Another reason why i think this would be cool is because of the downscaling so u can’t just 1 shot other people that are tagged.
This will also give the option to duel, u can either find a empty space with the one u want to duel, or u can group up with him and go into a home instance.
It will also give the option to have big fights between guilds.
I would love this option because then if i’m tagged i need to also watch out for other players, and it would make some awesome landscape to fight in.

It will also help with another problem that i usually have in other mmos, that is the popup dialog that ask if i want to duel all the time. Often when i have been doing some pve stuff people always came up and spammed me with duel dialog, and this will take care of that:)

Hope this is something other people would love to see too:)

I like this. Any good player will tell you game sense and practice 1v1 is one of the best ways to learn, even if the game is not balanced around that (tho it’s pretty close). So I think for a stronger PvP community duelling is one if the most healthy things for it.

I like your suggestion tho I still think the WoW style duel system is better or actual duels (the only thing I liked about WoW pvp) where it gives you a timer. As you can’t attack till the end of the count down, And if you run away to far you forfeit.

But as for an open world PvP idea I think it’s great. It’s more relaxed than WvW and finding a fight is easier. Maybe a list in the UI like “looking for group” but says “flagged for pvp”. Your suggestion would also expand the RP community, as well as maybe get some PvPers to level their mains and get them into PvE.

Over all I think it’d be healthy for a game like this. Any objections, and why?

I personally like that all PvP is sanctioned off to its own separate maps. It gives a sense of unity – of which the story actively promotes – without actually barring off the ability to engage in PvP. While I agree that certain areas of Tyria would be absolutely astounding to PvP in, I can’t use that to justify spoiling what ANet’s already set in place, because as it is, it’s quite nice.

I’d prefer duels, if anything. An option to auto-reject them with it, but still having them exist. That would sate the itch of same-realm PvP. At very most, I’d say make it so duels can be up-to-5v5 by giving party members the option to take part.

So, overall, I disagree with the proposal of open-world PvP (quite strongly, but that’s just me), but would love alternatives as mentioned.

dueling is on their list of to do’s for the updates coming around in the couple months. but i dont think pvp tagging in pve world will happen.

Correct me if i’m wrong but wasn’t the races in war earlier and even though they decided to unite there will always be some that is a black sheep and don’t won’t to unite right? I don’t want that everyone goes around killing each other ofc but i miss that i can be more evil if i want:)
