Guild Wars 2

Strong hold was by far, SUPER amazing. Just wanted to say that. Devs don’t get enough love as it is, but that was amazing. Normally I know devs wont respond, and someone shouldn’t start a thread just so they should see it, but I hope they see this one!

Awesome job guys! An amazing addition to pvp! Bring it back soon!

(feel free to ignore this, I just wanted to say it)

Agreed, had a blast this weekend. Interesting change in pace from Conquest for sure.

Pub stomped most teams in a few minutes to start, but it became very intense and competitive as soon as people got the hang of it.

I like it too, the only PvP map I am interested in but now it has to go bye-bye again. seems pretty done to me, hope we can have a lot more Stronghold beta weekends while waiting for HoT cuz that feels really far away.

I do have to ask if I am the only one that can never find myself on the map. I have major troubles staying orientated to everything else that is going on every where else. The other player class icons seem to obscure my personal marker white target symbol to where I sometimes have no clue what is going on with a quick map look. May be user error in keeping the map too far zoomed out or having my personal music up too loud to pay proper attention.

I loved it, but bigger teams would be nice. Less time sprinting across the map. Like 8v8

Yepp, I think it might be a pretty good gamemode and the latest changes were spot-on.

But I think we really need a bit more time to play it to give proper feedback, because I think many ppl are playing it completely wrong which paints a wrong picture of what needs to be changed.

how ’bout a week with a nice tournament so top-players have an incentive? Of course after the big tournament thats coming soon!

Agreed it’s a nice new creative gameplay.
The NPC battle system mixed with PvP reminded me of moba elements mixed with tower defense lol.
Potentially awesome matches on this map

I had a blast myself . I agree loved it as well. Ever match was different I never got bored .
The new Boss NPC we get to pick were nice . I can just see the chick be coming OP .
Guy with cannon on his shoulder was nice . Yet cant you change his cloths I under he is buc or a pirate .

Welll hope we get more stronghold was lots fun . AND many wins ..

Its really fun. Problem is that you still log on to play and in a 3 hr session you sit afk in the hotm for 1.5 hours waiting for queue pops. So the gaming experience offered is still not good

It is really fun and interesting if you are hamster and you live in aquarium!

I agree. Would be much more interesting to play/watch with more action in few spots at once, also would be easier to split team between tasks.

The game mode was a definite improvement compared to its first iteration.

I enjoyed the new game mode, but I am concerned with how often the win comes down to the game running out of time.

I enjoyed stronghold and hope you add it to the live game soon.

When playing strong hold I felt like the class imbalance was less of an issue cause you are rarely standing still an a point waiting for a mesmer to insta zero you from stealth.

Stronghold is definitely my favorite part of gw2 to date. It retains a lot of the things I loved from the Fort Aspenwood pvp in gw1 and lets each class and build play to its strength.

A lot more builds and play styles become viable in stronghold since you no longer have to fight over a small circle, almost similar to roaming in WvW without all the bad 1-spamming zergs chasing you down. If they add a few more maps, each with unique features, GW2 might actually become a fun PvP game.
