Guild Wars 2

I am Glad rank 8 in gw 1 — most fun I ever had in a video game.

My pals and I wanted to give gw2 pvp the benefit of the doubt, but the more we played it the more we didn’t like it.

Should I give it another chance? What has improved to make pvp more fun since launch?

I cannot stand king of the hill mode. Is there an actual team deathmatch yet?

There have been changes like the introduction of leaderboards, solo queue and new maps. The meta has changed, but for the most part its remained the same: full of cheese.

If you enjoyed gw1, there isn’t much of what was good about gw1 in gw2. If you are trying to enjoy pvp, the best thing you can try to do is pretend gw1 never existed. So you don’t do comparisons and question yourself on why you are still playing gw2.

PvP has seen huge improvements since launch. Balance is much better, matchmaking exists, solo queue has been added, and there have been hundreds of bugfixes, to name a few.

There is not a team deathmatch mode. GW2 combat doesn’t fit with TDM as well as a standard trinity MMO. There have been new maps added with very different secondary objectives, but the main mechanic is still 3-point map control. It has never been king of the hill.
