Guild Wars 2

Is there a way to fight a friend for fun and play test builds among friends?
If there inst this is something area net should think about adding.
I play with my brother and I really wanted to see who has the strongest guy in a nice 1v1 friendly match.

Guild halls or pvp servers

You can farm for ages for a Guild Hall, my small man guild is still at level 9 after a year although people got sick of farming PvE to do PvP things and left the game.

You could do PvP arenas even though build diversity is lacking or maybe you can do it in WvW if you want to pay gems to move away from your friends to be on the opposite servers for a quick duel….

I don’t think it is very hard to get guild hall arena unlocked.

It took me and two other friends about a month’s time to get our guild hall arena.

Not to mention there are a ton of Hotjoin servers that are just about always dead. Too easy to hop in one of them and duel a friend if you are having issues with dueling servers for whatever reason or can’t afford a private server. Also, extremely easy to just join a guild that already has a guild hall.

Guild hall duels are kind of ruined by PvE rules such as retaliation hitting quite a bit harder and skills functioning differently (e.g. Blurred Frenzy doing 100% more damage) so not the best place for a proper duel.

I’d recommend just hopping into an sPvP duelling server
