Guild Wars 2

i never understood what is the point of Death match in a MMO where you don’t have dedicated healers.
One thing is when it’s a FPS game,another is when it’s a MMO.

Deathmatch means killing your opponent, which means PvP. If you are at a capture point fighting for control, that’s deathmatch.

We just want a mode where you just hop in for fun and don’t have to sweat blood for a 10 min long lose with PvE teammates (soloque).

A simple 2v2 arena with a basic ranking and matchmaking system would be the BEST thing this game could add right now. The game is fairly balanced currently and if you allowed teams to see what they were playing against before a game started, you could try and counter them. It would be pretty awesome.

Someone asked it to anet before if they want to make new mode ? Because I search official discussion about new mode en pvp on this game, and I dont found it.

There is no good reason for them to ignore optional game modes like this.

Make the game fun, then people play it, if people end up playing death match more than conquest and make it more competitive than conquest, then roll with it and start turning Death Match into your esports mode and balance for it…. this is assuming it works out that way.

Worst case scenario people just play it for fun on the side, what’s wrong with that?

Also what I find funny is people always say 2v2 and 3v3 arenas are terrible BECAUSE of healers, then when people suggest to have it in a game WITHOUT healers people so no it won’t work w/o healers…. it doesn’t make any sense.

I would LOVE to see how 2v2/3v3 goes in this game, even if it ends up horrible then oh well, don’t design a whole new map just for the mode then, just take what you have, modify them slightly to make a deathmatch mode and boom there you have it, don’t balance for it just let it play out and let people enjoy it.

Yes I think that Arena mode is the better for this game, without healer… it’s better.

i cant do any harm if they make a sort of ptr tryout of this if the community like it impliment it also smaller brackets means you could really learn the ins and outs of your profession without being face stomped in a 10v10 …rather annoying when then happens right ? just map out one simple arena and a simple join option for teams in the mists !

Arena without Healer is even better!! There are more tactics, choosing the right target is very important… Also using the right skills at the right Time… There is no Chance for 2 Glass Cannons in a 2on2 Deathmatch…. Sure… In every Gamemode u have any People who cry for balance or other kitten… But you cant know it if you dont do anything….

lol….kitten^^ sry i was in rage :p

???????? GvG – GvG – GvG ????????

Plz Anet do a 1v1,2v2 and 3v3 deathmatch.

2v2,3v3 rated deathmatch is sorely needed to freshen this game up

Arena Net,

Any chance to 3v3 small ground arena with rating?

No Answer… please Anet… If you dont wanna do this then tell us that you dont add a Arena!…

I have been saying this forever but 3v3 deathmatch very similar to WoW would be the best thing for this game. Go watch a 3v3 deathmatch tournament (there have been a few good ones done in custom arenas already and they were very fun to watch) and then go watch PAX petting zoo extravaganza…..which one looks more fun to play? I rest my case. Everybody hates on WoW but it’s arena was very competitive at one point and way bigger than gw2 can every really hope to be. AND they charged a sub fee, this game has none!

Mr. John already said he doesnt think players enjoy killing other players, so they will continue to invest in objective based game modes. God forbid the PVP community gets a game-mode primarily focused on killing other players.

They need to only look at this: How many players have played more than 5 tpvp matches this past month? (include solo and team queue). Now how many have done 5 hotjoin matches? I bet the hotjoin crowd is WAY higher. People go to hotjoin because they don’t want to play capture point, they want to straight up fight. And it is fun, despite what Jon may think. Small scale deathmatch with last team standing wins would be the best. But from the way Jon speaks we may be getting some assault type of gamemode….like bring the bomb to the base in COD. I sincerely hope not, because that will just kitten players off more. We want to fight!!!! The objectives should be SECONDARY with killing being the absolute main focus.

Another Weekend bored to death in sPVP -.-

So a 1v1 2v2 arena should be first on the list of gamemodes to create?
not like we don’t have 1v1 2v2 arena’s already right?

btw, this is the easiest thing to implement into this game so it will be implemented.. while taking away Dev time from real gamemodes or fixes..

GG vocal minority.. you helped Anet in getting one step closer to murdering their own game..

on please, guild wars 2 sPvP is NOT MMO.

it is 3rd person action.

It’s easy for players to do things like 2v2 deathmatches in any custom arena. Players should try them out—perhaps organize a few tournaments—and if they are successful, Anet would consider making a mode out of them.

but most of the time, i see those custom arenas empty, why?
wrong time zone? O_O

I don’t know. I think 2v2 deathmatch could have potential, but if people don’t even want to try it once, the devs will have a hard time being convinced to spend time making a mode for it.

yes. bump.this.

Wohoooo A-Net is really listening to the Players !

I’d be happy for this. I realized one of the reasons why I suck at duels (different thing than 1v1 in tournaments) is because I can never practice. Sure, I can join the kong of the hill server, but I can duel only once every several minutes.

1v1 arena with button for class i wanna fight or join random class would be sooooo cool

dont even need leaderbaords or whatever
dont need to show enemy name/guild and chat should be off

just beam me in and fight for training^^

and 2v2,3v3 arena deathmatch would be very cool too ( but plz no 5v5 more – too much people needed for to low population)

Simple 2on2 3on3 Deathmatch Arena with some motivating Ranking- System…. Why not Arenanet?? WTF NOT??
Can anyone answer me that Question????
I wait narly 1 Year for some new PVP Sh*****!!!!

I also would like that. Its annoyning in those custom maps to wait for ever because you are too slow to click the join bottom…
Actually i think that 1v1 is more balanced that conquest.
Only annoying if fighting against bunker specs, but a timer could solve that like in gw1.

Stop being stubborn and just do it already Aanet, just accept that your vision of objective based pvp turned into a zergfest and give us what we want.

Theres a reason most mmo’s go with small scale deathmatch.

Honestly, when arenas for fun might be cool, ranked ones in just raw form wouldn’t.
The game atm is very unbalanced when you leave classes just to fight each other without any other objective. Things like condi spam, clone spam, PU mesmers, hambow warrior spec, spirit ranger, bunker engi, Dhuumfire SoS spam necro would break the game instantly and if those were to be ranked, oh boi…
What the game needs is indeed proper system like that one https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/PvP-3v3-Arenas-Concept-Idea-for-GW2/first#post3063243 where you can get various effect and flip the fight by taking a risk, having proper tactics and not just facerolling
