Guild Wars 2

Anyone know if they are gonna implement some kind of arena for 2v2,3v3,5v5? Probably like the one in WoW(never played WoW so can’t really know) where you can get rating as a team or for yourself, this was the thing that almost made me start playing WoW. This would make the game so much fun, so anyone knows?

i can agree about the ratings system but otherwise this game doesn’t have what it takes to have an Arena like in wow. atleast imo.
there are some classes that can kill 3 ppl in a burst, like theifs. later on in the game there might be able to when its more balanced

well rogues if specced properly can 3 shot people in wow too but when their cds are burnt they do nothing and since this kind of combos can be countered nobody carries a rogue of this kind…

It’s completely possible in gw2, in fact the absence of healers would make it shine. Healers killed the arenas in wow, in the arena tournament server 2v2 matchs can’t have a healer.

thief burst builds are really bad for teamfights, so its a high risk high reward thing. Played it last night and it was really fun vs lone targets and weak guys. The moment an even team fight came I worthless though. Also have to wait around a minute for my burst cd’s to come back up. I don’t see it being very practical vs good teams.

The balanced builds seem more solid.

GW1 had arenas too. If anything GW2 arenas should be in image of GW1, which had some interesting arena modes.
