Guild Wars 2

Hello Guild Wars 2 community,

My favorite game mode in MMO’s (or any multiplayer game) is deathmatch — where the main objective is to kill your opponents. Why isn’t there a designated deathmatch option when queueing for arena pvp, or when entering snowball mayhem?? I think giving players additional options to cater to their play-styles is important. We shouldn’t be limited to only objective-based (capture the flag, hold points, etc) pvp. I think the lack of a designated deathmatch option within GW2 is a game flaw that should be remedied.

I’m curious as to other people’s thoughts on this?

Regards,

Hildace

Even regular arena pvp maps are objective-based =/

Courtyard…..

But no one likes that map. Too small for actual TDM, or TDME

Ranked arena doesn’t have deathmatch, and there isn’t a deathmatch option when queueing for non-ranked or ranked arena (ie there isn’t a ‘deathmatch only’ option). There also isn’t a deathmatch option for snowball mayhem. It would be nice if the developers gave more attention to the deathmatch playstyle. Not everyone wants objective-based pvp.

Wait for the February arena for Chinese new year.

That’s death match

There was once a ‘death match’ mode, 8v8 at the now gone map with the ship in the middle, ahh good times, death match doesn’t even have to be ranked, just put it in unranked or hot joins and I’ll play it all day lol, what’s more fun that capturing point strategically? Yeah killing everything in sight.

Exactly. I completely agree with you.

I don’t understand why deathmatch isn’t at least an option. You don’t -have- to play an optional part of the game — but it should at least be an option. I don’t think it’d be that hard or time-consuming to add a deathmatch option — it could even use maps that are already included in the game. Most kills within X time limit, for example.

I quite frankly have a ton more fun just killing everything in sight. I’d certainly welcome some deathmatch!!
