Guild Wars 2

I cannot speak for Automated tournaments or the 2v2 custom map yet as I have not experienced those.

However in regards to the new PvP map it is really beautiful. I used to make alot of circles on the old one running the same path over and over or mindlessly killign golems while waiting for a map as I just couldnt bring myself to wait for matches outside of the HOTM. Now I have a nice break up to the monotony, and much funner more engaging things to do.

However, I do want to mention a few things I can see that would help out alot.
My friends and I spent about 4 hours in the free for all last night turns out we really love to kill each other and other people. The sheer randomness of that place is quite amazing.

1. I dont know if its intentional but there is one glaring problem, perhaps bug. There is a little ledge up on the sides of the arena that you can move to tip of and shoot down into the arena. A large group of people started going up there and shooting down into the arena and when we tried to shoot them back they just back up into the invulnerable zone. If you could please stop this from happening it would be good mainly because I noticed that the group on the sides soon started getting larger then the group fighting.

It discouraged people from entering because we could not retaliate properly against these people up on the sides but they could attack down into the arena. One fellow was an engi and was mortaring down in killing multiple people.

2. Also if you could put some sort of sign on the portal into the arena I accidently wandered in there lol not knowing it was the arena,(yeah I thought it was a cool waterfall thingy) I just laughed, but I fear that new people won’t take so kindly to it.

3. The ending match thing is awesome! Recognizing the winners on the pedestal is great. However its unnecessary to pull the people that lost and put them dead at the winners feet. This will only discourage some people and sets a bad tone. I would recommend just leaving the losing team be. !!!!However I love separating the teams because honestly I get so tired of trying to look at my stats (would be so awesome if I could see these outside of the game in the mists) and having someone intent on killing me while my menu is open. !!!!!
