And yes by title I do mean putting it together with the other 6 dominion maps.
We players can adapt to different secondary mechanics on different maps, so it shouldn’t be hard to adapt to Courtyard when we see it pop up, since, Courtyard is straight-forwardly a deathmatch arena map.
You don’t even need to change the scores nor the timer.
Like the other maps, each kill awards 5 scores so the team making 100 total kills or making more kills before the time expires wins. Since the timer is only 15 minutes I imagine this is acceptable for everyone
If one side is falling behind, the team members could just rally at respawn point and unleash a 5-player counterstrike on the opposing team from higher ground. In theory, they should successfully push the upsiders back to the arena itself, and vice versa. There is therefore no worry for snowball effect.
So~can we have it? This would be a BIG treat to the entire GW2 community, not just PvP, since the PvEers are now playing PvP as well. Thanks!
(p.s. Also if controversial maps like Skyhammer can stay in SoloQ I don’t see why Courtyard cannot be in it. Unless you want to bait players into buying Custom Arenas…)
