Guild Wars 2

How will the new stronghold system work? Will it help our gvg situation? What I was hoping for out of a new competitive mode.

The ability to challenge any guild in your respective region to a match of up to at least 20 vs 20. This match can be open ended with rules set by the participants. This match can take place in a map with WvW stats. This can be done through the stronghold system if this option is not available. The community has been waiting for the matchmaking opportunity with WvW stats.

The current ways to gvg are as follows.

-Set up something within your current wvw matchup, usually either in obsidian sanctum or south camp on a borderland.

-Set up a match in Eotm by getting into the same seed through rival commanders partying up. You have to be on opposing colors.

There are numerous videos of this traditional very basic community run match style. Please let us have this very basic system. If you let guilds queue up against each other then some of us are going to do this.

-Both guilds queue up from any server in their region.
-Get into the stronghold map
-Ignore all points and objectives meet in middle or neutral zone of map.
-Play normal gvg using any built in timer the game mode may have.
-Stay until match is over, usually best of 7.
-Leave game mode

This alone is better than nothing at all and it would be easy to work with. You could however cater towards it and allow for a more basic option within the game mode.

Youtube is filled with gvg videos and I think guild wars 2 gets a lot of exposure this way. GvG players are a dedicated player base. We love the game and we are going to love the new content!
