Guild Wars 2

Have you been waiting for GvG-arenas?

I’ve been wondering ever since the launch; why there’s no tPvP like GvG system, without any kind of point capping or skyhammers, just pure fight with even numbers.

Me and my friends have been waiting for this kind of feature for so long, and we’re starting to feel like we’ve been robbed.

Guild Wars, doesn’t the name already tell the story?

Of course there’s this ongoing GvG scene where guilds compete at Obsidian Sanctum, but it is far from enough. First of all Obsidian Sanctum allows any player to enter the fighting zone and interfere the GvG, it also allows player in GvG to use stand as a safezone if someone’s coward enough. Second thing that comes to my mind is that you gotta have contacts. You can’t just be like “Hey we got 10 players, let’s put our guild into Looking for GvG system and see if anyone challenges us”. You’re not able to challenge any guild you want, they gotta be on the same WvW matchup. If if you would have the contacts, you need to agree on GvG date and time and make sure they’re on same matchup, which is most of the times very hard if you have a small guild. This list could go on and on.

What kind of Guild vs. Guild-system?

Just create and PvP-like system combined with LFG-system, it is that simple. Map/server would be and open field arena with a stand, so people can join the GvG as a spectator, if guilds allow ‘em. Of course there could be an option to choose different maps. And make any guild able to challenge any guild, no matter what server they’re on.

Small guilds specially have difficult times nowdays to find and enjoy fair fights.

Overall I consider this as a huge fail.

Asked and answered.

The name comes from in-game history and lore. GvG hasn’t been officially introduced into the game yet. From what understand is that GvG has been discussed and is a very likely feature in the new expansion. But we will have to wait and see.

Just in case you want to read up on the lore the name comes from.

So while the title fits 1st game lore (well Prophecies at least) the second game has nothing to do with Guild Wars since Ascalon is in ruins, Kryte is reformed, Orr is no more a human kingdom… so the title has nothing to do with anything now.

Yes I want GvG in GW2.

All lore from GW1 is lore for GW2

I think we might be officially past the expiration date on using “fail” as a noun.

Either way I’d really appreciate it if you and everybody in the world stopped doing it.

1) There’s guild halls in HoT, so there might be GvG in the near future, too.
2) So, even though GW2 is a sequel to GW1 in every possible way, the Guild Wars never happened. Got it. Alternate history it is.

Insert “bring back capes” comment here.

We are getting GvG with HoT as guilds will be able to “queue” as guilds and not as a team of individuals in PVP. I expect GvG to allow for far easier matchmaking as it won’t have to do complex math on the individual player’s ratings to pick a suitable opponent, it will be just one number.

Guild Teams

Guilds can register guild teams to compete within sPvP, in both Conquest and Stronghold maps.
Leaderboard will show the best guild teams in the world.

So in a way we will get a similar GvG system as it was in the first game. Easier matchmaking, faster queues, more “personal” battles as guilds will develop rivalries in battles etc

It’s a step to the right direction AND actual GvG

While the game’s name is from a lore event, that is largely irrelevant to the request for a feature, which should be judged on its own merits and not dismissed because there’s a lore reason for the name.

I have never seen such a clever thread title.

j/k

Well the answer to the OP’s request is that GvG is actually coming with HoT

It’s not GvG, it’s guild lader.

It’s Guilds against Guilds, therefore it is GvG, whether it’s the GvG version you wanted or not is irrelevant.

How many times now has this thread been made?

No idea but it’s been a lot and it will probably keep being made until we get GvG. GvG and HoH were the top reasons people played GW. Heck, A-Net gave away $1 mil each to winners of 3 different tournaments in GW.

Lazaar.9123:

How many times now has this thread been made?

To date: 45,872 threads have been started concerning adding GvG.
7840 of those were about the name Guild Wars should at least imply that GvG is involved.
And 560 threads about how GvG should be accomplished.

(Just making up numbers, but it sounds legit.)
