Guild Wars hum... so where are the GvG? .__.
“The Guild Wars are the three wars among different guilds in the three human kingdoms of Ascalon, Kryta, and Orr. "

This is why the game is called Guild Wars.
A lot of people have been asking for GvG, but it should not be open world PvP.
The “guild wars” has more to do with lore than player group PvP. Please see the GW2 wiki for more information.
As to where actual GvG might be occurring: Obsidian Sanctum, the PvP Jump Puzzle appears to be the place. Good luck with that. It also happens to be the place griefers/gankers strive to appear skilled at the moment.
You can GvG if you set up your own Private PvP.
They were going to call it: Casual Wars 2: Treehearnes side kick – Grind n’ Cash shop edition
but Guild Wars 2 sounded better

I prefer the first one, as it’s not a misleading title like the other one.

ok, this is on GW1… on GW2 this guilds aren’t in war.
GvG is located in WvW, which is what GvG was originally intended to be.
Claim a keep, defend it, and enjoy your war of guilds.

They weren’t in war in GW1 either – the actual wars the game takes it’s name after took place before the sinking of Orr, and the Charr invasion.

But those guild wars led to the sinking of orr.
Currently playing Heart of Thorns.
‘The Guild Wars’ is a backstory event designed to be a title drop for the original Guild Wars game, which was called that because of a heavy design focus on pvp and gvg content.
Obsidian Sanctum is the venue for Guild vs Guild.
as everyone said, the guild wars were an event in gw lore
also if you want war between guilds just go to WvW
Yup there is a reason for it. Still it’s sad there is no Guild Halls, no Guild vs Guild, and actually, no Guild Love at all.
GoGo Guild Wars 1, at least they got it right there. :p
Asura thing.
Game that launches with GvG (ratings, rankings, guild halls, observer) and a focus on pvp (Hero’s Ascent too, favor of the gods, affected pve access to elite pve content, winners broadcast to entire world) was disingenuously marketed as “Guild Wars” when in fact this was all misleading as the real reason was an obscure lore event. Totally checks out.
mounts, dueling, Guild Wars is about GVG – i wish I had a penny for every time a thread of these pops up here.
yes, GvG is dearly missed in GW2. No, the name has nothing to do with GvG. Now counting days for the next reiteration of this topic. Though I think mounts is scheduled now.
How long will it take for people to finally understand the name “Guild Wars” has nothing to do with GvG….
Or any part of the current game however.

If you want GvG there are currently 2 options that I know about:
Quit GW2 and GvG in GW1
or
Quit GW2 and GvG in Wildstar
Both games have a rather robust GvG system.

Can we just start calling this game “2” then?

Sorry I PVP in a PVP area but it’s the most common place to find 1-2 people and not get run over by 20. I don’t SPVP because it’s stupid with the low crit cap and inability to use gear you worked for.
Anet please nerf Paper, Scissors is fine -Rock.

Seriously. The ‘guild wars’ the title is referring to took place even before Guild Wars 1. The name has little to do with what you do in gw1, and absolutely nothing to do with gw2. It’s too late now, but anet really should have picked another name imo.

Maybe, just maybe, they will add guild halls like they had in GW1 with the scrimmaging. Then GvG could take place there.
This again… Here, I’ve written an explanation before, so have at it.
“Guild Wars 2,” the game, is named what it is for marketing reasons, to ensure that the players of the first game would know that this was a “continuation” of the original “Guild Wars,” Co-OpRPG. The original “Guild Wars” was named as such because of it’s original design, that being a PvP-based MMO, but was changed during its development into a PvX centric game (with PvE eventually taking the spotlight).
Additionally, lore-wise, both games are named after an event which predates their timelines, that being the Guild Wars. The Guild Wars were a series of wars fought by some of the largest guilds on continental Tyria, with the last one ending due to Ascalon entering into serious conflict with the Charr.“Guild Wars 2” isn’t named the way it is due to a focus on guilds, that content was never meant to be a focus of the game. It was named after its predassosor who kept its original name despite it having its original design elements changed.

I agree 80% with that and it’s a reasonable compromise.
Its in OS if you want more of an spvp gvg then there going to need to be a lot of changes to classes to make sure it equal. In effect you can GvG in spvp now you just need to be willing to do it with 9v9 may be 10v10 and there the new spvp map that seems to be a pure death match. I find its best to keep very hands off for community made things OS gvg work well the new spvp map may work ok too but a forces GvG system may cause a lot of problems i think its best to say add in a place in EoTM where you can fight much like what you see in OS or even just comply make a new map like EoTM but with mostly open fields to fight in.
Guild : OBEY (The Legacy) I call it Obay , TLC (WvW) , UNIV (other)
Server : FA
Yes, GvG is in OS and is actually the most popular twitch streams when top ranked guilds play each other.

I would love to see an EoTM map like OS where you can fight ppl cross worlds that your world is not currently fighting. You can nearly do it on EoTM there a few places in the mid of the map where you do not get buffs from your side but its a bit too close to a “camp” like thing and there a lack of spaces to get moving.

They need to add a prequel video about gw1 so people stop asking this

Yup, sadly the name of the game is based around obscure lore that has pretty almost nothing to do with anything actually going on in the game.
If I were dev for a day, I’d make guilds mean something in the game and tie them into the living story somehow.
