Guild Wars 2

Main question is if this entire stuff is designed around spvp characters with everything maxed or is for our pve/www characters (with ascended stuff)

It sounds really interesting but we need more infos.

GH isn’t Heart of the Mist so it is neither Conquest nor Stronghold. As you can already see in the video or heard or read from somewhere, GH is for PvE character.

The Arena is for WvWers and PvPers who want to train or just come up with new styles of play since you can put traps and other elements into the arena.

As the GH is basically a PvE zone, chances are the arena will require lvl 80 and PvE gear. So it’s not really for PvP players unless it is instanced within the instance.

As I and witcher said, GH is a PvE zone. What does that mean? It means it will use your PvE Gear/Food and all the crazy imbalanced stuffs. Can you train there? Yes you can. But is it the best place to do PvP training? No, it won’t because you won’t have PvP gear in there unless Anet do some crazy changing in there. Finally, if you want to do a real PvP go to heart of the mist, not GH.

Why would the arena require level 80 when it’s within the Guild Hall and even if it did require level 80, it could very much be an instanced part of the Guild Hall.

Nonetheless though, who cares. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do with it.

I saw “Arena” and then I was disappointed.

this.

Sad panda. Hoped we could now design our own PvP Arena, more or less and actually kick off some big 3v3 tournaments.

But knowing WvW “balance”, it’s made for the zergfests called “GvG” by some.

Btw. Only two Guild Hall options? They could’ve easily just give up on some one-time attack event and place it in the mists, where we could get more interesting and varied maps, possibly more of them.

you can always limit gear and ban food for tournaments.

I got the impression guild teams would apply to spvp too….

Oh yeah, you can. But how? Sending 20 observers into each one of their houses while watching them the entire time to make sure they are not cheating? Cool!!!

im sure spectate mode and the ability to kick will exist.

A lot of good doubts, honestly i’d bet on PVE/WWW characters

BUT

they announced a Guild Leaderboard and a World leaderboard and extreme customization doesn’t fit really well when we talk about leaderboard.

So i think it will be “normalized” to compete for the leaderboard, honestly it sounds really weird you can compete for a leaderboard with difference in gears or in other stuff.

We really need more infos about it.
