Guild Wars 2

Sup guys. Been noticing around the forums that A LOT of people are looking for a direct implementation for Arena/Death Match, and while that may still be some ways off, Nothingg gave me an awesome idea today for something we can do to remedy the situation for the time being. With that in mind, I present Fight Clüb [FC].

Wut Dis?

Well, it’s fairly simple. It’s well known that a lot of people want to be able to play arena and deathmatch and while we don’t have an official mode in for it yet, the community has done an awesome job of starting something up with tournaments and servers dedicated to it. This guild seeks to unite the deathmatch community to one spot and provide opportunities for players to be as casual or competitive as they want to be through guild exclusive arena servers, tournaments, and general community building.

At the moment, the plan is to support 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 arena along with general deathmatch brawling, but we are open to supporting other variants as well if people are interested.

How is this any different from just making a duel, 2v2, 3v3, etc server?

While there is nothing wrong with this approach that quite a few people have taken, there are some issues that come into play. Trolls and lack of proper structure being the two big ones here. The guild aspect will help to eliminate trolling (and if it happens it can be easily remedied via removal) and general ettequite/rules will be established within the guild to help keep it fun for everyone.

How are you going to keep the casual minded and more competitive minded people seperate?

Well, to remedy this issue, we have installed a “rank” system into the guild. The guild will have four main ranks (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Bonjwa) with a fifth “Wood” rank for new people that have joined. While at the beginning these ranks will not do anything in particular, the plan once we have enough members is to create Bronze, Silver, and Gold servers for each section (1v1, 2v2, 3v3) for players to congregate themselves into and keep things balanced. Bronze servers will cater to newer players looking to play just for fun or to keep things casual, Silver servers will be aimed to accommodate the semi-competitive playerbase, and gold servers will be aimed at the most competitive players.

Will lower rank players be restricted from joining higher tier servers?

No, if players want to step things up and try a harder challenge they can do so at their leisure, and if an admin notices this you may be bumped up faster. Contrast to this however, as per guild etiquette, we will be asking that higher rank players not abuse the lower rank servers.

What about tournaments and other events?

In addition to tying this in with the already active Mistpedia Weekly 2v2, Ill be working to set up other tournaments for 1v1 and 3v3 along with other (possibly more casual) events to keep everyone enticed and active. More info will be coming on this later

How will you be maintaining all of this and/or how can I help?

The one thing I want to highlight more than anything here is that this is an extremely community driven project and things will happen that aren’t planned, as they will with any guild. There will be drama, there will be trolls, but I can assure you that we will do the best to avoid these issues and handle them quickly to maximize fun and try to make this as legitimate as possible.

In terms of what you guys can do to help, there is a lot that needs to be done! For this project to work (assuming we get enough members) we will be needing around 9-12 custom arena servers (and double this if we extend to EU), so some fundraising may need to be done. These servers will also need to be kept active, so any member willing to give tokens to the servers will be extra help to the project. The guild will also be needing more admins (right now it’s just Nothingg and myself) so we can make sure issues are handled quickly, so if that interests you we could certainly use your help

Blu pls, just tell me how to join
If you are interested in joining just fill out This Form or contact a member in game and we should get you added within 24-48 hours (Please make sure you have an open guild slot when we invite you).

Im really looking forward to starting this up and seeing just how far we can take it guys ^.^ If you have any questions or concerns feel free to leave them here or hit me up in game and I can discuss them with you. Other than that, feel free to sign up, and we shall see you on the battlefield

SIGNUP FOR THE GUILD

TL;DR Deathmatch/Arena guild, ranking system, private servers for guildies only, tournaments, bonjwas, esports.

Solid Idea.

omg this is the best idea ive ever heard cant wait to join…a net should sign over guild wars 2 to you, #noloveforpvp #hatersgonnahate #anetdoesntlovepvp #uhohspagettiohs #butseriouslymakethisathing

I’m just glad you’re stepping in where anet wont. Worth a shot.

Looking forward to 2v2s mang! Glad to see this coming together!

Ye sounds like a plan lets get this rolling, and shouts to Blu and nothing for trying to get something good going. Any thing i can do to help please let me know, if things look good i will be more then happy to donate as much gold as i can to help with servers, or anything else u all may need.

Just submitted, this sounds like a good time. I also have a server, with only 4 days left, I can purchase some tokens before then though. Looking forward to doing some 2v2s or even 3v3.

Just as a quick update! The guild will now have a ranked ELO system for all players. So for those that want to play in a rated arena leaderboard, we now do that as well

And this is in NA only – you forgot to say that.

This is a nice way to make the sPvP a bit bearable, cheers blu. Wonder if anyone at EU would consider doing the same.

We were testing out the leaderboards and rating system last night in 1v1s and 2v2s, and there actually were some very fun matches to watch.

for now yes, I am looking for someone to run the EU side of it though so support for EU is not far off.

i’m totally flabbergasted that death match hasn’t happened yet.
it is so easy to implement, simply turn off the capture points and increase the points for kills to 10 or something, first team to 500 wins like normal.

my only worry about deathmatch is that for every mode that they add the (already small) pvp community gets even more fractured.

Just submitted, can’t wait to play. Good for you taking action instead of waiting for anet to get their kitten together. Perhaps this will bring some freshness to PvP.

Hopefully anet sees this and we all are very serious about this. We need it.

Great idea, hope this gets a large player base!

I don’t really think classes in GW2 have enough depth (i.e. abilities) to make this format compelling to play.

bring on death match arena…. !

Guild was created about 2 days ago and already has over 100 members

In case anyone wanted to see by the way here is the ELO ranking standings for people in the guild so far, lemme know what you guys think.
