Okay so we all know the new 2v2 mode will not have its own queue, just it’s own map. As BAFFLING as this decision is, there doesn’t seem to be anything we can do about it, so for the meantime, I have several other questions.
1) Is it just the one “new 2v2” map? E.g in wow, there are like 8 or so arena maps. Is it likely a net will design/add more?
2) arena type pvp in other mmos are veeeeeeerry popular. I played wow 3v3 arena ONLY for 7 years+. Anet doesn’t seem to realize that having a ladder for 2v2 (and maybe even in the future, 3v3) arenas would offer something different from the “battle ground” + “hold a point” style that is spvp, or the zerg/blob/roaming play that is wvw.
Anyway, do you guys think the community will organize their own 2v2 tournaments? I certainly think the 2v2 map could be the starting point of something greater, but the fact that it’s a custom arena kind of saddens me… usually custom arenas are not touched, especially with so much to do in the amazing wvw patch and tye new season approaching. Has anybody thought about organizing 2v2 tournaments? I’d love to help.
3) Is the new 2v2 arena just “to the death”? How exactly do you win?
4) Same stats as spvp?
More discussion and questions are welcome. And answers
