Guild Wars 2

Yes, i know this sounds crazy, but i think LA would turn into a really cool PvP Map inside Tyria, and don’t come on me with "there are already the Mysts (WvW/Spvp), this is not enought, PvE content is way higher in this game.

you don’t want that.

what you want, is a separate special instance of lions arch, that uses structured PvP rules.

imagine a custom arena but using lions arch as the map instead of the existing sPvP maps.

that is what you want.

Yup, it sounds crazy. No pvp in pve, please.

i do not want to go to LA to go do fotm and get murdered by a few people who decided to make it their pvp stomping ground, so no, no pvp in a pve zone

Sure, make new PvP maps by putting copies of PvE maps in PvP areas. But please, please, keep PvP out of PvE.

yes, this, please.

The one downside I can see to using custom arenas to provide PvE maps as PvP arenas is that one could not use one’s PvE build. However, imagine if you would, a version of custom arenas that was usable in WvW, where PvE gear is used. Maybe there could even be a WvW lobby where one could go to the various existing WvW maps and the “new” custom arenas could be activated there.

As to using the actual PvE maps with PvE only players in them… the only reason to do so is to have unwilling cannon fodder in the form of other players who don’t want to be attacked. Given my experiences in PvP games, I strongly suspect that being able to gank is the prime reason for asking for PvE map PvP — and I’m opposed. If you’re someone whose motivation is to run around doing other stuff with the possibility of being attacked, there’s WvW roaming.

New Mists (Heart, sPvP, WvW) areas, based on already existing PvE ones? Nothing wrong with that. Adding PvP options to PvE content? Yep, that’s crazy talk. The bad kind of crazy.

I could see this being a new PvP mode: cops and robbers. Or guards and looters, to be more thematically correct.

Guards start out in Fort Marriner, looters in Hooligan’s Run, and the goal would be to capture the enemy’s base.

When people talk about PvP in PvE, they instantly talk about the carnage it would cause. But what about dueling? You have to accept duels, you don’t have to do them..

This would be awesome. duels and pvp in the wreckage of LA.

so, are you going to repost this grand idea every 7 months?

I think LA would make a great housing map if we had any housing..
Imagine this. We receive a housing system in our personal instance BUT (since Anet demonstrated they can destroy and rebuild maps) in LA you could have a limited numbers of “open world” houses which can be held by individual player which ofc is mostly about showing off and will cost a lot. This will be a huge gold sinc for people with tons of gold (like if you have over 10k gold or something) AND it will be for a limited time. Like for a month for example. People will bid to own a house and the one who wins owns it for x time. It’s like a PvE version of holding a keep in WvW except with money not PvP. Hell you can make it guild wise not player wise. Like enter in the map and you get a message Crazy Kittens [Purr] currently holds LA. And maybe they can put merchant discounts or something.

No.

If that were the case why even bother talking about bringing PvP to PvE? You can duel in the Heart of the Mists by inviting someone to an empty, non-standard (no rank progress, nobody crashes those) map; there will be less lag than dueling in cities, standardized gear, standardized stats, and no targeting interference.

It would be a completely redundant system and a waste of resources.

My card is filling up this week.

My idea :
let everyone who asks for stupid things like this die instantly whenever he/she enters LA

Even better : flag everyone who asks for open PvP for perma-death.

Now that would be fun

I would love it but most players here prefer to fight enemies that stand still.

So mature, so constructive for the game you are, let us know more of your “smart” things.

As an added map in PvP: yes.
As a PvP allowed area in PvE: NO!

Peace.

Frankly, they could use lot of FotM maps as pvp maps.
Would require bit of remaking.

For example, I would consider Swamp map quite interesting availability in PvP.

There should be a server you could guest in that is world-wide PvP.
