Guild Wars 2

Anet… food for thought:

Going into Courtyard with a full guild/group comp is one of the funnest things you can do in pvp. Just a straight up team deathmatch. But we can’t even do this single map consistently because it’s fed to us randomly, and so we could build a comp for Courtyard then promptly lose on another map, or vice versa.

So, first off, could we please at least have the option of ONLY doing team deathmatch rated matches, at least in courtyard?

Second, having an arena mode where we could just do 2v2, 3v3, 5v5 in a rated match would be AMAZING. Not all of us want to cap points and worry about the opponents being able to ninja pve the lord down. Sometimes it’s fun to go comp vs comp, and in the PvP world were all is equal, it’s prime for the perfect team deathmatch mode.

In another big MMO, arena play is a huge (and fun) part of the game, and it’s severely imbalanced due to gear levels between players at different rankings. In our PvP world, we’re already geared and ready to go. It’s just pure PvP. Please consider making a true team deathmatch 2s,3s,5s mode where we can build for comps and change up the PvP scene a bit. It would be an amazing addition, and I’m sure it would explode as small guild groups forced to try to run small comps in WvW could thrive on an arena scene.

This isn’t to detract from the current PvP game modes, those are great too, but this as an added addition would be spectacular for bringing some pvp zest back into the game.

Excuse my typos. My two cents. Forgive me if someone else has posted this before, I don’t read the forums that often. Thanks!

This has been brought up before about separate queues and what not. It’s a pretty heated discussion. Some people feel that we should only play Conquest and adding anything else ruins the game. A few others believe that there should be seperate queues but not for Ranked as that will increase the time in the queue way too long for Conquest.

Give it a few hours and I’m sure you will see what i mean.

I’m actually more content with a 2v2 or 3v3 Custom arena instead. All the Devs have to do is give us the tools to make these maps, implement rounds, add a turn-based Round Robin function so Spectators can enter the the map one at a time and we got ourselves another gamemode. Or at the very least, a map we’d like to play on occasion.

There are tools that the Devs can offer us to better our map making possibilities. Our crave for Dueling can be remedied with Dueling Servers but Trolls – bad sportsmanship players – hinders this experience. Especially for newbie players who genuinely want to duel and get better. Map makers need to assign more than one moderator to govern these servers.

If we get our 2v2 or 3v3 custom server gamemode with Rounds implemented and/or Round Robin entry, people would play it. They’d want leaderboards and would want it to have its own separate queue but hey, we’d at least have 2v2/3v3’s in the PvP scene.

i think its been suggested befour by pretty smart folks, but have we considered RA style system from gw1?

that would be fun. pretty good idea too

In other words and to sum it up …. “We don’t really care what the community wants, it is what it is, take it or leave it”. I like it.

Love the amount of drama and theatrics you put into this post, those acting lessons must be paying off…. back on topic.

ANET does care about the community feed back; however, they are not going to act without seeing both sides of the issue. A lot of things over the last couple weeks have been added to the game based on community feed back. Yes, they are not exactly what we wanted for PvP but they are a step in the right direction.

Sorry for double post but I wanted to separate my posts on these two separate ideas.
The above ideas you stated are things that I and i believe gates have presented to the developers in our weekly reports. I know for a fact they got them and read them over and I know they are considering a couple of them. At the moment, everything is all hands on deck for Heart of Thorns.

Hopefully as things start to wind down with HoT development, we will be able to see the developers return to their perspective areas and give a little more TLC to their areas.
