Guild Wars 2

Numerous GvG videos have been posted throughout the years and it has brought Anet tons of exposure. They have brought Anet Money. $$$$

We just want a basic system to GvG any guild we want and not in PvP mode. By making a new mode and trying to pass it off as a gvg system it’s just a snub to a very dedicated player base. Anet has even asked for WvW videos before and that shows that they know they have an impact. We know that you know that the videos are there. Why not support how the community uses the game? Just because its used in a “non intended” way since launch? We are just going to end up using Stronghold in its “non intended” way.

You are making a new competitive game mode. Instead of using how the community uses a system and building upon it you make something completely different and ignore how the community uses something. I dont understand. There was something already there waiting for support but it was just straight up snubbed. How is this an efficient use of resources?

They are making a PvP mode that is almost identical to the original GvG in Guild Wars 1.

The fact that a tiny group of people in WvW have decided to call 20v20 clashes GvG is not really ArenaNets problem.

People have been asking for GW1 like GvG since release, and now they are getting it.

so much this ^

The WvW community was already having GvGs without even knowing. Your guild against my guild taking Stonemist castle is a GvG technically. Sure there are pugs around though.

This WvW GvG community say that the 20v20 deathmatch takes skill. IMO the only skill that you need in this deathmatch is preparation of builds and gear stats.

The actual gameplay of the WvW gvg community plays out like this……

" STACK , Might! , Veil, Drop aoe at your feet! Slowly back away….."

+ over 9000

And WvW players still will be able to do their Zerg Clashes in WvW…

There is already a thread about this discussion, which is mostly about semantics.
There’s GW1 GvG and there’s WvW GvG (should have called it guild DM or something).

Stronghold will be a mix of Gw1 Gvg (‘kill the GL’) and ‘other popular gamemodes’ (I guess MoBa).

So if a baseball team want a new stadium…..

“We play on dirt and have no field think we can get something new?”

“You have a stadium! Those trees are a wall there…and look over there, that group of logs is the stands!! People can still sit on them whats the difference!”

“A stadium still has dirt just like your dirt field!” “You can still play why are you complaining?”

The team has won many tournaments and brought the franchise lots of money.

That’s something anyone can claim. Plus everyone paid for the game or paid for gems or other things like that. just because a certain group with a certain intent bought the game to hold their own non official game mode, doesn’t mean the game company needs to design the game towards that direction. That would mean any minority group would be able to dictate or hijack the direction of a game.

Spvp is entirely different from WvW. Spvp got a GvGish mode which is cool for people who play Spvp.

Hoping that WvW will get some love for their GvG as well at some point.

All the trash talking back and forth is stupid.

And yet the pvp heroes wouldn’t make a dent in top tier gvg guilds in a gvg
