Guild Wars 2

It’s time that GvG became its own game mode where guild groups (and guild groups only) can queue to fight 15v15 WITH THEIR OWN GEAR (not amulets or anything like that found in PvP). I think this would promote guilds to be a more relevant aspect of the game, considering it’s called GUILD WARS 2 and like, almost all of the content in the game – WvW, PvP, PvE – you can do without being in a guild. I think this would bring back a LOT more players to the game, and I think it would make for a more interesting esports game mode to watch.

And no, I don’t think it would ‘kill’ WvW….people who like doing PPT stuff and sieging and defending objectives can do that, but guilds who only PPT b/c they HAVE TO and don’t want to fall to a lower tier and really just want to fight other guilds instead of fighting blobs or capping things, they can find a safe haven in GvG game mode. Also, this way, fight/GvG guilds have a wider variety of opponents to fight as opposed to the same opponents for months, and also, with a GvG game mode, there can be new achievements and rewards and such.

PS, the GvG arena should be the same size as the OS arena and there should be NO secondary mechanics or objectives…just pure fights.

I wish you well, and if they give it to you I hope they don’t just turn around and break it.

whats your argument against a pvp like gear system? it would make the whole thing extremely easy to switch stuff out based on what role your guild wants you to play. no grinding pve for that ascended armor set to be maxed out. no having multiple armor sets for different runes/stats.

i cant see why anyone would have qualms against this system. maybe you think that it would nerf stats? well ofc it shouldnt.

anyway hell yeah for a gvg mode, but , its a bit too late a ton of guilds left. maybe with this and some other big changes (stab cough cough) then they might come back. thats only if the game theyre playing would be an inferior experience tho, so its hard to tell, even if they say they would.

maybe they should just focus on making wvw not suck for now

There’s more “guild wars” in Black Desert Online than there is in GW2. Which probably explains why so many guilds that used to WvW/GvG in GW2 are playing BDO now. It’s really too bad, GvG could’ve been a hit in GW2 if Anet didn’t shy away from it.

The guild hall arena is a disgrace seeing how small it is, how limited it is, how it uses PvE ruleset (retal hits harder for an example), and how much of that were all gated behind tons of PvE. Missed opportunities in my opinion. GvG would’ve kept more players in GW2 than their blind push for 5v5 esports.

WvW & GvG could’ve coexisted also, but they created brand new desert borderlands that are filled with PvE gimmicks, narrow canyons, choke points, rock walls, lava, and bad guild upgrades such as chilling fog, airstrike, etc.. all things that guilds hate to have to deal with in WvW. They are really the last things people want to have to deal with when fighting another guild or another zerg.

GW2’s system is still solid and sound, just the system isn’t being run by the right people making decisions imo.

Hey, Stand, for the reason that a lot of people who play WvW, who would probably end up playing GvG if it became a game mode, have put in a lot of effort to get their ascended gear; a lot of them probably even worked together as a guild to get that gear. I think that that kind of effort should be rewarded and promoted by allowing more and more game modes where your regular gear is used as opposed to a PvP-type amulet or something. I understand that, yeah, it can be a grind, but the flipside to that is that it gives more opportunities for guildies to bond and do more stuff together, help each other, etc. And I think by allowing your regular gear to be used, when people get their ascended gear (which is made a lot less grindy if you have guildies helping and guiding you), people will take more pride in their build/gear when they fight b/c they invested a lot of effort into it.

I’m not saying that I hate a PvP gear/amulet type of situation, and yeah, maybe it could work if it was done right, but it’s just a personal thing where I’ve put in a lot of effort into getting my ascended gear, and I want as many opportunities as I can get to use it.
