Guild Wars 2

8v8 is just chaotic and so tightly packed.

Courtyard would definitely be a great small arena type TDM.

TDM should never make it to Tpvp but should still have player progression.

Nah. 8v8 is fun as well.

Anything more than a 4v4 is too WvW like, you just run a zerg, because you’re so much stronger together.

1v1 sucks because

A) too many obstructions mean kiting FTW
B) trees get in the way of the camera and the camera zooming in weird angles all the time.

A and B do not go together because it’s very hard to kite when your camera is acting so weird.

My only complaints with the map

I agree, that Couryard with more than 10 players is a mess.
Even ANet said, it is ment for small battles.
But as the map is in the CMs, it is the decission of the owners, how many players they want there.

So you are saying that a map design for small combat is terrible for large combat?

Thank you very much for sharing this new insight. Did also know that ice is cold.

3 v 3, 4 v 4, and 5 v 5 work well on this map. It’s the single best thing they have added to this game. There is enough space and los to make this have the WoW arena feel. This map alone has the potential to change the course of Gw2 pvp.

iT would really be nice from anet to add solo/team queue for 3v3 and 5v5 on courtyard, or at least make some(a lot of) hotjoin servers.

3v3 probably most ideal, though i could totally see 2v2 being ok.

above 5v5 this map becomes a joke.

Then again retal spam with healing necro somehow destroys everything

“… would definitely be a great small arena type TDM.”

Isn’t it already? Do you mean that the game mode should be tweaked to become a “great small arena type TDM”?

1vs1, 2vs2 and 3vs3 would be awesome. Anything above that would just be a huge clusterkitten.
