GvG in HoT
If you’re talking about pure team deathmatch, in my opinion it’s a pretty lame game mode. The side who first loses a player most likely to lose. Majority of the matches I watched is always like that. For me, team deathmatch only belongs to FPS.
Simple, the half-thought up thing you saw in WvW was simply a Team death match and not actual GvG. it was something started by the community. The original GvG ( from Guild wars 1)always had a kill the other teams lord objective, and the devs did mention if im not mistaken that the GvG game mode would be returning in 2. the thing is with that WvW bootleg GvG all u do is Spam aoe in a spot and see if u got more aoe damage and aoe healing. there is no real objectives there is nothing to counter play and help your team win if they get steamed rolled such as a lord rush. If there was say a person with a commanders tag that the teams had to kill to win then ok. but there isnt it was just 15vs15 or 10vs10, 20vs20. Imo it was always just a guild duel or just a group of players wanting to give away free loot bags in wvw.
