Guild Wars 2

hello everyone!

today’s suggestion topic is:

let custom arenas owners choose PvE maps to host in their servers!

with this, people can participate in structured player versus player with PvE maps!

in a specially designated environment where the precious PvE players are not disturbed at all!

make the whole PvE map the battleground! though this would not be advised, as some PvE maps are, really, really big.

so it is actually much better to just designate a certain part of a PvE map, while zoning off the other areas. the other areas can be designated as danger zones that will kill players who wander off into them.

so, what do you think?

the custom arena system is already in place!
we just need to make some more tweaks to it, so that PvE maps can be chosen as well!

The tech already exists to clone a portion of a PvE map into a separate instance — it’s used in Personal Story. Although I take umbrage to the “precious” PvE player verbiage. We’re not all precious, some of us are kind of cranky.

yup! now if we use that technology for custom arenas, i think those players asking for PvP in PvE could perhaps be satisfied?

ah, sorry about the verbiage, i was just trying to stir up and bait some responses outta the good people here. XD

thanks for the feedback!

Great Idea ! I hope to see PVP on PVE maps since i started GW2

thanks for the support!

if we get enough support perhaps they might make the necessary upgrades to the custom arenas!

I like the idea (particularly if it gets the PvP in PvE people to shut up). The major snag is that the maps are inherently unbalanced. You’ve probably noticed that all the existing PvP maps are symmetrical. So you likely won’t see a perfect clone of a particular area if they decide to go this route.

aye, it is natural for them PvE maps to be unbalanced since they are designed for open world PvE and not sPvP.

hence, only available in player owned custom arenas only.

imagine you have your own custom arena, hosting a sPvP instance of The Bane

“The Bane is a large arena situated at the base of the Black Citadel. It is known for being used to settle disputes through fighting, as well as provide entertainment matches. It has an underwater tank underneath that is used for water battles and large devourers are provided for some matches.”
