Guild Wars 2

Via wooden potatoes, it has been shown that it is possible for open world pvp….SO:

1.) Why is this not implemented?

2.) Why has it been continuously denied even though it is clearly possible.

3.) Why is it not in testing as a mini-game currently?

WvW is your open world PvP.

PvP in the non-WvW maps goes against the lore.

Its possible for them to make the sky a full rainbow surrounded by unicorn clouds but they haven’t done that either. Why Anet, why?!1?

This is true, not like other MMO’s with open world PvP it is there because their lore consist of factions from Bad vs Good etc. etc. But in Gw2 race of Tyria are united to fight the dragons, so it’ll be weird seeing us kill each other in the open world.

Why would you want alot of players to stop playing GW2? i love guild wars 1 and guild wars 2 because it lacks open world PVP and im sure that a large portion of the player base feels this way as well.

They should add better methods for 1v1 or controlled participant fights, but not in open world.

Okay, the video you linked is 16+ minutes long. I’m not watching the whole thing. WP made a joke with his buddy about getting PvP in the first couple of minutes, but I don’t think they are serious. I skipped ahead in the video to various points, and see nothing like that happening. Could you clarify what you are talking about? I really don’t think this is seriously happening.

Are you talking about friendly, one-on-one duels, or full-on free-for-all gank fest? Because I can tell you right now, the latter ain’t happening. Not only does it make no sense from a lore point of view, it goes against the very foundations of what GW2 is about. ArenaNet is trying to foster a positive atmosphere of community, where players are all allies and cooperating with each other. We are not enemies, and the game does not need things like ganking, corpse-camping, and griefing.

Maybe duels would be alright. I don’t foresee a huge problem with that, though they might want to confine it to certain areas and not just allow it wherever.

So what if it’s possible. MOST replies in ALL the threads EVER CREATED about open world PvP were from those not wanting it, only a SELECT FEW voiced their desire to have it and many of those were from the same individuals.

Meh it makes less sense from a lore-ish point of view for a norn MALE player not to be able to join the sons of Svanir and kill other non Svanir players.
