Guild Wars 2

Short answer: No.
Go to PvP or WvW for that. That’s what it’s for, and that’s a deliberate design decision.

So you basically want WvW.

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Guild Wars one never had a PvP in PvE option. Guild Wars 2 never advertised themselves as going to have a PvP in PvE option. If the OP is going to refuse to buy the expansion for a 3 year old game because of this, a game that never had this and never advertised this is going to be an option then all I can say is, have fun in vanilla or another game of your choice.

A special thanks to penelopehannibal for 2 drinking hits, dueling and holding ANet to ransom.

Cheers~

I’m reading peoples arguments, everyone seems to have forgotten the part where OP said you have the OPTION to tag up.

No we have not forgotten at all. It has been addressed, you seem to be forgetting that some people don’t even want to see other people fighting all over the place.

All of these maps have events all over them and any future living story can also happen anywhere Anet decides they should happen. Any duels or pvp pretty much anywhere would get in the way of them, break immersion or just cause toxicity in some way or another. It’s not going to happen for the reasons I as well as others have already stated. This is a CARE BEAR FRIENDLY game, albeit it does have the pvp modes where they are away from the general public. They are there go and play them.

Yer I don’t disagree with that stuff, I just find it hilarious that I clearly gave my own personal opinion on why I would enjoy it, and yet as usual someone is there to tell me why I wouldn’t enjoy it based off their own gaming enjoyments.

A thread derailment later, and we wind up here

And it was explained that it will never happen, but you keep prattling on.

WvW doesn’t give you map completion, and it’s usually a big zerg, which doesn’t require to much skill in getting kills. pve you can have a party size of 5.

A lot of people complain about trolling, and while yes there will always be a few players like that WHO YOU CAN BLOCK FROM CHAT, but you are talking about .01% of the players. I’ve been trolled by that many people wanting me to join their guilds. We deal with it and play on. Also a decent amount of these players wouldn’t be in the maps(most pvpers don’t pve), meaning there would be more people for world bosses, so not really taking away from events. Not to mention if people trolled constantly and got reported constantly, bans wouldn’t be uncommon.

As for flagging up give it a minute cool down so you can’t just gank and go back to normal.

You do realize you don’t have to zerg in WvW right?

Theres PLENTY of small scale, 5 man roaming teams

in theory open world PvP could work like in blade and soul. The game doesn’t have BUT if you wear an opposing faction’s clothing or costume it flags you for PvP until you turn it remove the outfit which is just as easy.

The question for Arena net is why would they do that. Adding that type of PvP into the game introduces certain elements or bad apples like the OP. The type of people it attract and the number of people it could hurt generally doesn’t make it worthwhile. Also the number of PvP purist who care about that feature are so insignificant that appealing to them isn’t worth the destruction of the community or even the time resources.

OP if you want open world PvP wait for blade and soul. Guild wars 2 will never make you happy because what you want is incompatible with the game’s core beliefs.

Oh I have no doubt you and many others would enjoy such a game mode. It’s just that I think the majority would not. Majority usually wins out in most cases. Add to that the view/philosophy or whatever it is you would like to call it that anet has shown towards how they want their game to be viewed as and played; it all just adds up to “not likely to happen”.

Personally myself I wouldn’t mind if they did an overhaul to wvw or added in some totally new version of it with different factions that we could sign up for and help out. It could offer more play styles and rewards as well as add a whole lot of new fun. By signing up to a faction it would not have you be bound by your server and you could even change your faction. But this would again ideally all be away from PvE and in their own maps. I would like the maps to be similar to PvE tho with small cities and settlements rather than towers and keeps. Heck just imagine signing up for and helping out the Inquest, Bandits, Krait, Centaurs etc etc. It could add a whole new dynamic to the game. But that’s just my secret little wish, I know it wont happen but still we can dream can’t we? :P

Oh yes we can dream lol, and I know something like this will never happen either, it was just amusing people wanted to argue my own personal opinion on why I would like it or what I would do with it lol… -squints at brotherbelial-

(I would probably sign up to the Nightmare Court, then walk through Caledon Forest like Chuck Norris ready for a beating)

On what server? lol, do you play wvw?

penelopehannibal.8947:

No Duelling! I don’t want to see people squabbling over who pwnd whom, and who spammed whom with certain skills in the PvE zones. It’s bad for the community. Keep PvP in the PvP zones please, just like they did in Guild Wars 1.

Also, we’ve already had another repeated Mounts Thread today. We don’t need another Duelling one to add to it!

Why no dueling? I have never seen no good reason why ANet shouldn’t add dueling other than, “I don’t want it, so I absolutely don’t want others to have it.”

It shouldent be any flag up do it right or dont do it at all… maybe bloodlust mode for players on same faction(server) like archeage? if they make it so anyone can become immune to pvp then 99% will do that and there all resources put into it would be for nothing just like gta passive mode

I can look up 10 good youtube videos of tantrum´s caused by dueling in pve areas in other mmo’s, for good or evil ANET decided they don’t want this on their mmo, I for one agree with them. I prefer pvp in pvp and pve in pve and a more relaxed and happy community.

I understand that you would prefer otherwise, but seems to me that this decision has been made and is pretty set in stone by ANET.

Best regards
