Guild Wars 2

I am almost certain that new game modes will be hotjoin/custom arena only. So don’t wait on these as a saving grace.

This obviously ruins them because to do hotjoin:
1, It is just an unbalanced zerg where nobody cares about winning.
2, If you want to set up a match it takes FOREVER and then it will be only against people you know for ages – hardly true competition and a massive time waste

The fact they haven’t said there will be a tournament queue for these game modes confirms to me that there won’t be one. Remember all these things will be rushed out and half finished just because they have to release this patch before/around wildstar/eso to stop people quitting.

With anet you should always have 0 expectations I think everybody who has this game since beta already realized that in 2013.

Thanks for the warning, mate.

I’ll stop playing right now.

new game mode: Kegbrawl in teamQ!

jesus christ… why can’t you forum-whiners just wait for the next changes on 18th march?!
just let a-net do their job and if the next changes are not good enough in your opinion you can start giving constructive feedback or either start the kittenstorm.

So if you are not in love with the current state of the game, just FIFO and play other stuff. But stop spam this forum pls with negative flames.

You do realise they confirmed march 18th was a “maintenence build” and that the feature build was early summer or late spring right? So your patch is more like May.

What new game modes are you talking about?

ps: FIFO means First In, First Out.

So i have the question, why do you want new gamemodes when the classes aren’t even balanced?! And here we go, there are balance changes at 18th march. so let’s wait for it first and see what they bring us. After this we can discuss about new pvp-arena-content.

I get it…you’re one of those guys who is still waiting for the meta to settle (after the tool tip update). Giggity…

sure, i still have hope in all this. I still like the game. not even every gamemode but in my opinion this game is great. no other current mmo with such a great fighting-system.

There are three general paths for GW2 thrown around these forums, either Anet could fiddle around with small balance tweaks, or they could remake the meta or work on new game modes..

No game has balanced classes and to boot GW2 has roughly as much if not more balance than any other MMO I’ve played. That causes balance tweaks to give an insanely small return for the time Anet dedicates to them, which makes them fall very low on most everyone’s the list of ‘things to do’ .

Anet can’t improve the meta.
They have been trying for a year~ and have only made it worse…
I mean, mainly, this want is caused by people wanting the game to be shaken up since it is exceedingly stale, but every time Anet tries this they end up making the game more stale.

Which leaves new game modes.
They haven’t failed at this yet… so it’s worth a shot amIright?
They failed at remaking conquest over and over again, which is close, but not quite the same and out of those bad choices, this seems to be the least worse.

Yeah, the whole reason skyhammer failed is because of their bad match queue system.
It in and of itself is not a terrible map, but having it randomly, constantly thrown in your face… that makes it a terrible map.

If Skyhammer was in the queue system of any other game (pick and choose the maps you want to play) it would have a fallowing. You have to be in a certain mindset and/or playing a certain style of builds to get the most enjoyment out of the map and that just doesn’t work well with a blind map queue system.
It doesn’t work at all….

Not much works with a blind map queue system except already competitive games with strong casual support.
GW2 has neither…

The reason I am warning you is that anet won’t warn you and then it will come out and be a fail and you will all be sad. So get your expectations in check.

My philosphy is whatever good idea there is will be a fail.

New heal skills yes!!! Nope they add a new spirit. New elites yes!!! Nope they add more ai spirit weapons.

Just have no expectations because that is what history teaches us.
