Can we get arena pvp please?
We had it.
We lost it.
We’re not getting it back.
Thank The Six. Courtyard was awful. Some kind of formalized dueling, 1v1 might work.
This game is remotely balanced because people are forced to stay in little circles. There are builds in this game that will never die if they don’t want to. Healing revs, kiting condi thieves, some mesmer builds… There’s a reason why duel servers ban a whole bunch of builds from participating.
Dancing in cicles is pretty much what killed any chance at competitive pvp, Esl failed because circle dancing doesn’t work. I loved having a choice of something other then that boring junk pvp and played stronghold. Now pvp ranked since season 5 has just been unworth playing.

The failure of ESL had little to do with conquest mode. The teams involved had a great influence on the outcome and there were other factors.
Stronghold was “strongly” farmed. This made it non viable for PvP.
Courtyard was withdrawn because of the problems associated with it.
Conquest or “circle dancing,” your terms, is the only mode that consistently works.
Don’t forget bad balancing.

This is actually really accurate
I have a rev and a thief
MY rev however is just meant for annoyting tf out of ppl
But if I truly wanted to, I could condi bomb tf outta someone, force them to use all their defensive cds, then pop away, once a good few are back up I can rinse and repeat….usually at their point their screwed…..yes I know this could cause teams to lose cause I’m not decapping blah blah blah
But that was my point, I can make insanely deadly builds that cant be caught and so can many others, if we got rid of the way spvp maps are structures, revs, ele, and thieves are gonna need a nerf every month

Agreed. If Anet had Stronghold at launch instead of Conquest then PvP would be dead before the game’s first year.
Ziggity may love Stronghold and its PvE elements but the game mode was a gigantic failure.
