Guild Wars 2

I know that I would have a blast in sPvP with a capture the flag game mode. All the control skills would make it very competitive. Would anyone else be interested?

This is a concern brought up since bwe’s which is probably why you dont see many threads about it anymore.

Yeah ctf or something other than the age old Capture and Hold would be a great way to spice up the game. But Im still find with what we have now.

I wonder how it would even work considering stealth/stability. Seems like something that would require a whole new system and maps. Too much work IMO for it at this moment, although it would be a refreshing addition in the future once they get rankings, leader board, etc etc in place!

Is Snowball Mayhem not a “Capture the flag” mode? I would imagine that stealth/stability would work very much like it does there. You lose access to your weapon abilities but keep your utilities. Is Snowball Mayhem not fulfilling two roles? Is it not a fun temporay event for Wintersday and a test bed for “Capture the flag” mode? I’m not a PvP-er but I have been having a grand time with Snowball Mayhem and it may even encourage me to jump into some sPvP. If you haven’t tried it, I feel you may be missing out.

As for new maps, what’s wrong with the maps we have? Why not just use the center capture point as the spawn point for the flag and leave the rest as is? Just changing this one mechanic of the map would change the whole way it was played would it not?

(Btw, these are serious questions, not condescending ones. As a normally non-sPvP-er, I am genuinely curious.)

Honestly you make a very valid point. I think snowball mayhem would be great and much more popular if they made an npc for it in the mists ^-^

New suggestion: put all the mini games from every season into the HotM when it isn’t their holiday. Boom! Instant sPvP band-aid

They’d likely make the Flag into an environmental weapon so you’d loose access to your skills when holding it.

Drop the flag on stealth and make the maps long enough that stability won’t last the whole length.

stability doesnt work on conditions, so its not a big issue, immobilize, cripple and chill solve this and not many teleports and stealth skills are on utility slots, just make flag enviromental weapon as said before, then only portal would be a big problem, only thing to solve…

with flag you move 50% slower
