Guild Wars 2

Yay custom arenas. Totally happy to see it and spectator mode. But while I’m happy with the idea of custom arenas, have you really looked at what kinds of Arenas are getting made?

Some arenas are password only guild arenas. Great! Guildies want a place to fight one another for practice, that’ awesome. Some others are high rank only places. Also a good use.

Then there are “NO CAP POINT” arenas. There are also “Glory Farm” areas. Both of these indicate some real deep problems with sPvP.

For one, the game seriously needs a duel mode. Custom Arenas are nice, but they depend upon players deciding to not actually play the game as made. A mode specifically designed for player vs player duels, or team vs team battles, would make players super happy.

Then we have glory farm servers. …. Wat. I have no idea how to fix this, except to say its broken. If players want to farm glory by fighting one another, they need an Arena.

Custom Arenas are a poor patch to the real problem that the game needs more modes. Players want to fight one another in me vs them matchups. Last-man-standing free-for-all matches, cage matches (two players enter, one team leaves) and team vs team matches (first team to wipe other team 5 times wins, etc) would ensure players could get the fun they want playing the way they want.

Now I’m not too upset with the game as is. Point capping is fun, and the game isn’t broken for me, because if I want to play a proper point cap game, I sign up for a tournament and play another team. It would be nice if I could play more than one map on a given day, but at least its a proper game. I think that what we have is great, but it needs more.

What’s the point of farming glory if your skills don’t increase while you do it?

24/7 2fort dm servers are best servers

I mean Kyhlo dm

You see custom arenas with things like dueling, no cap deathmatches, and 2v2/3v3s because people that want to play regularly already have tournaments. Whether they solo queue, or queue with a team that’s the way they can play with capping points. It’s a great game type, and many people still play it.

It’s like counter-strike servers. Are things like zombie mod, deathmatches, etc. fun to play? Yes, but it doesn’t win out as a competitive mode.
