Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone I just decided to make a thread to suggest a few SPvP ideas and have other people suggest some ideas as well of how to make SPvP matches more enjoyable.

Personally Guild Wars 2 PvP is one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had with PvP in any MMO and want to help take it to the next level.

Theres a few things in my opinion that would greatly improve an SPvP experience…

- Map Markers (Pings) would help improve the overall communication of teams and would eliminate the advantage some teams have with better communication via TS3 or Vent when doing a premade. Such as LoL or any other MoBA game I feel this system would work even in guild wars 2 PvP match being able to quickly organize strategy for who is going where on the fly instead of communicating a plan at the beginning of a match which will never work the whole entire match and then really never speaking another word until the match is over.

- Rating System would increase the longevity of the PvP experience and creates a benchmark of how players are doing and if they are improving or not. Every time I finish a match I find myself wondering, what is going to be my goal in TPvP after I get the cool looking armor set I want? This rating system could also separate the highly skilled players and the average players making each match a competitive close game right until the end.
It doesn’t really make sense that there are 2 different types of SPvP queue when really you get the same experience, just a reassurance that there will be a full team on each side and you know what map your going to get and the possibility of queueing with your friends instead of playing against them every now and then or going against another premade

- Class Variety Verification would help reduce the number of rage quits/ losses simply due to a poor team comp. When I play my guardian or thief in a large number of Rated Games I run there will be one or 2 class duplicates. Having the lack of class variety can really hinder a teams effectiveness in a match.

That’s all I got for now, just 3 fairly simply ideas that would make the SPvP Guild Wars experience even more fun than it already is. Please respond if anyone disagrees or has their own ideas

For starters, two of your idea’s already exist in spvp. You can hold shift to ping or draw on the map. Second, leaderboards.guidwars2.com. They have rating you just can’t see it. Thirdly, I agree, if they show classes in the que and let you talk to the players before even entering the map, you can get your team comp set accordingly.

To hit on your #3, when I play my necro I pick my teams based on comp. I love to fight guardians and warriors, but I also like to with other necros.. I pick based on that.

I would hate to have a system that picked my team for me based on class comp, as I would probably never get to go up against 2+ guardians to work on my skills or learn to dodge/fight that pesky longbow, immobilize warrior build that I keep running into.

The ping doesn’t make any noise? It’s just not obvious enough as it is. LoL’s system is VASTLY superior to this current system when it comes to map pings / drawing kittens on the map.
