Guild Wars 2

Arenanet decided to keep many features that made GW1 really popular?

For example:

- Abundance of skills
- GvG (Guild vs Guild)
- Double Profession

I know the reasoning already why they did not implement abudance of skills, and I guess double profession can somewhat go along the same reasons. However, GvG definitely needs to be back because I find GW2 WvW to consist of several zerg feasts.

GvG = less guild in WvW- less players in WvW map = more pugs blob = more empty server
im fine without GvG system, and i hope it will never exist in Gw2

I don’t know exactly what you have in mind for Guild vs Guild, but it seems to me it would only benefit large/hardcore guilds who are keenly interested in PvP aspects of the game. Those people are out there, but I’m not sure it represents a majority of players in GW2.

heres a better idea. a better guild system in WVW map. for example, guilds can team up and see each other in maps and make bigger parties…only in wvw

Guild Wars without Guild Wars,how ironic)

1. You will see more of a wack o moe nerf buff going on if there where too many skills in the game with out fixing the existing.

2. GvG would be a fun thing for a time but it would fall behind because spvp seems to lack good lasting power because gvg would be in an Spvp environment it would be the only fair way.

3. Back to the wack o moe buff nerff your just going to miss out on a lot of balancing for shinny new things to try that for the most part dose about the same thing as an older skill.

There GvG in GW2 its just player made not Anet made and its for the better in being so. It makes the player base who play GvG own this type of game play vs just having another pvp match type handed to them. In a way you can gvg in spvp as is your just going to only have 8 v 8 its not that hard to set up but every one still chose to run gvg even 5v5 in a wvw formant.

It’s a lore point, not a feature. Just like complaining that Final Fantasy has had more than one game…

I disagree, thousands of players have been displaced by the lack of skills and PvP options that GW2 lacks that GW1 had. I myself and many others that have been waiting for this game to make real strides at a comeback to this format. Or for entirely new GW3 that would incorporate the old platform of PvP style GW1 had. Your precious WvW would hardly be effected if the current user base considers it a substantial platform for PvP. Frankly i see it as a bandage for endgame(my opinion).

I would bet GvG will happen eventually.

This game actually released with about as many skills as vanilla guild wars. If there isn’t an abundance of skills here there wasn’t one there.

Anet has stated multiclassing was one of the stupidest decisions made in the entire run of the original guild wars, and they will not make it again. It removed more build diversity than it created, and made the game impossible to balance, contributing to a FOTM cheese build system that lasted for years.

Actually thats what gw2 is about….

IMHO GvG and WvWvW should be kinda sorta the same thing. You currently already have fights between certain guilds happening organically in it. The game just needs new features to orient it more in that direction.
