Guild Wars 2

How many of you will like to have arena in gw2?
1v1,2v2,3v3 and 5v5 arena is need it on gw2. vote yes or no.

You mean… like the way it’s set up but with the Private Rooms they’re adding in later?

Maybe. But we need players asking this more often to arenanet. So we can get some real pvp in this game.

That would be awesome, loved 2v2 and 3v3 in WoW a lot. Think this would be pretty cool with some nice/small maps.

I vote yes.

Would be very cool if they added 2v2/3v3 arena like WoW have.

I vote for GW2 to remain as it is…and not become a clone of WoW

5v5 tdm – yes

others – NOPE

Having a much needed feature that WoW happens to use will not make GW2 a WoW clone. Whether or not this mode will be competitive is for ANet to decide, though.

I don’t see how this is ever going to happen, when the match up system can’t even fill out a 5v5 for two games.

What match up system?

The 5vs5 is empty because people leave the moment they start losing and then they come to the forum to cry, with a 1vs1 mode many people would start whining even more than now :" profession X is OP, profession Y is too strong, profession J burst too much etc etc etc"…you can’t stop the whining, you simply can’t

That’s fine, you can’t really change people. The problem is that the game should adjust for the lose of players, which it only very rarely does.

This game need ISTANT a ladder,and block premeade play against pug….but A-net have our money and now leave this game….in 4 months no seriously change for Pvp and this is the fact…..

Ladder is coming..if you can’t wait, uninstall and come back when it’s ready

This game just needs death match.

Not point-capture.

No, yes, yes and yes! Triple yes ftw win! 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4! Forgot about 1v1, it will remove way to many viable builds and professions. In other words, only 3 professions will be viable for 1v1, so it’s a big NO for me.

Here’s the plan:

1. Create 5 ladders: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and 5v5.
2. Map style: Deathmatch Arena a la coliseum-style.
3. Create an webpage ladder and in-game interface that shows the top players/teams for each bracket.
4. ???
5. Profit!

And yes, I said 1v1. No, it doesn’t need to be balanced. It doesn’t even need to reward anything. It’s just for fun, because face it, some people like to just log on and play 1v1 and test their personal skill without relying on others.

no we dont want nothing of what u said

no I dont want nothing of what u said

Fixed.

Careful of your pronouns, friend. You’re not the borg.

I would sign this 100 times if I could. I cant fathom how anyone that’s actually serious about pvp could say that this game doesn’t need arenas (1v1,2v2, etc).

to be honest 1 on1 would be too much rock papper scissors.

Sometimes the way you spec to beat one class , will lose to another. Some classes in general have an advantage against other classes in general in a 1on1.

so. id say 3on3 , and 5on5 would be fine.

Maybe not WoW arenas, but gw2 really NEEDS smaller scale pvp for casuals like 2v2 and 3v3 even if it is not like WoW, im sure they could go on some cool idea for 2v2 and 3v3.
I say this, because i couldn’t play a tourney(paid, serious one, not random one) since the release of the game, i play myself alone with another friend and we just dont have time to find people to play with us. Its so frustrating we end just doing sPvP and now quit pvp at all just doing PvE…

The only thing I would like to say to these kinds of threads is…. Why no 4v4!? I blame WoW for this blind spot.

Which leads me to feel this feature and suggestion is too WoW derivative in the eyes of the public to allow Anet to implement t his w/o PR problems. (rambling post, sorry)

I don’t understand the people who vehemently oppose this like it’s a personal insult.

If there are a lot of people who want to have the option to play 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 WoW style arenas, which there are, then why would someone have a problem with that? Like it’s somehow going to magically ruin whatever niche of the game they enjoy.

The fact is, people are getting tired of the sPvP in this game and are leaving it in droves (check the paid queue times lately?). Something fresh like this in addition to new game modes for the existing maps (CTF) both with ladders and you will get a massive injection of players into sPvP.

Which is good for everyone.

I Guarantee a boatload of players would return for 3vs3 or 2vs2 arenas.
I can name atleast 20 players that would re-install the game for this feature.

The combat system works better for small teamfights than anything else. 1v1 would be fun but with obvious difficulties. Any teamfights bigger than about 6v6 are chaotic due to the fact that most builds are essentially close-range dps or tanks. I think that anything from 2v2 to 5v5 would work great.

Yes, they should add a 2 v 2, 3 v 3, and 4 v 4 arena type death match.

If this is even a possibility though lets try to focus on the “KISS” principle (Keep It Simple Stupid) here. Meaning, start small with a 2 v 2 concept and progress forward.

“Rome was not built in a day….”

The reason no 4on4 is that its getting to be a bit much. theres not enoough population to support that many seperate distinct ladders and game types.

I wouldnt mind seeing dueling servers implimented for 1on1 pratice like old quake rocket arenas but as far as formal ladders or tournies are concerned

3on3 and 5on5 are probably your best bet formats for geniune variety and for not drowing in too much for too little.

Implement dueling mode (there’s 1v1)
and yes please to 2v2 and 3v3 tdm arenas. We already have 5v5 player vs circle the larger teams can stay there.

2v2 and 3v3 I think would be far more popular in terms of stream viewers than 5v5 player vs circle if they added it.

While we’re at it add other modes for 8v8 that make sense with larger maps for it. CTF, TDM, Huttball, etc. Something other than the tiny player vs circle maps.
