Guild Wars 2

Hey everybody, I just wanted to ask devs if this is possible in the future for GW2 PVP because I would like to play some kind of arenas with 1 or 2 friends…sadly we dont have 5 pple for team queue.

In the later thread, a Dev (Grouch) replied when I asked Jonathan Sharp about his opinion on these kinds of arenas:

Josh Davis.6015:

Arena is definitely something that gets brought up quite often in the office. I watched the FML 2v2 Tournament this weekend and it was a heck of a lot of fun. Some of the most exciting fights in conquest is when you’re doing small skirmishes on side points and the tournament on Saturday emulated those situations extremely well.

The good news is that players can create psuedo-2v2/3v3 Custom Arenas already, and there’s already a few rooms setup like that. I’d like to see more 2v2 type tournaments with prizes pop up in the future, and I’ve had a few people approach me saying they’d be interesting in organizing something like that.

Also, this is a quote from John Corpening (PvP Coordinator) from the CDT- Game Mode topic, and one from Jonathan Sharp:

“…..Finally, there are quite a few of you who live for the joy of pure combat and are looking to test your skills against other opponents in a more pure TDM/Arena format.
We have always believed that game modes are important to the growth and development of GW2. We have begun a new phase of prototyping for game modes and the feedback, ideas, concerns and suggestions you all have provided here will help give us perspective as we proceed. Thank you very much for your participation! We are looking forward to future Collaborative Development Initiative discussions with the PvP community.
Thanks,
John”

Jonathan Sharp:
“@ 2on2/3on3: A lot of you guys really seem to like this idea. So do we. We’re looking at game types which encourage this style of play. Another thing we’re looking at it combining the size of fights with larger tactical/strategic implications, so that there is something fun going on the micro level (the actual fight) and the macro level (the map overall).”

“We’re looking at game types which encourage this style of play. " that’s the bit that worries me though. I’m for 2v2/3v3 arenas 100% and imo would be the best game-mode to play for fun. I still remember my friend saying “dude ctf is coming to gw2” , then my hype wore down when I saw the spiritwatch trailer.

Same. I got worried about this especially when they said:

Just make a game mode that’s about the actual combat, with a team size small enough to remove the “Zergy”- feel to it. Legit, fair fights!
