Guild Wars 2

Who Else is balls to the wall excited?
From the Description it sounds like CTF.

I might login to check out the new map, but my friends quit the game so I have no team… and since I don’t believe you can solo queue the ranked tournaments there’s nothing else for me in the game yet… will probably keep on rocking planetside2. So, it’s not really the pvp patch of the motherlord, those with friends to form a team might come back but can’t imagine an explosion of returners :P However, a new map is a new map and even ninjaed in a capture the flag… that’s good.

I am. John & Co it looks cool brahs but wasn’t there supposed to be some map called the Brand as well or was that just rumour?
Can’t wait till you fix thief traps brah.
Lol and think of my sword thief, when you are nerfing/buffing anything kthx.

Awaring the Devs aside…
This is seemingly their idea of CTF, and I think it is not going to capture it in a way I would like but the map looks gorgeous from that one scene and I see what looks like plenty of shortcuts for Infiltrator’s arrow, and other shadowsteps/teleports to take advantage of.
Doubt I’ll care for ranked matches, the way it’s individually applied means more dedicated teams less casual teams.
The idea of 3 points to run the orb to sounds really…meh? But who knows.
Would’ve If you’ve got 3 capture points, and 3 orb return points, I think you split the focus even further, 3 capture points already splits attention so much. But eh if it’s a just for fun map, who cares.

The new map isn’t out yet. Will be released on the 26th.

I think it’s still Conquest Mode with the some sort of CTF for those Spirit-whatever as an added twist or mechanic. But let’s wait and see.

I know the map isnt out yet, thought we were discussing that patch?

My bad. I totally misunderstood your first statement in your previous post. :P

unless there’s a non-paid 1v1 team ranked, ive no reason to do spvp. leaving free tourneys as they are currently would be an epic fail.

Well I am excited about the new map, however ranking and rating, not as excited only because I do not have a dedicated team.

I am more or so wishing that they add some build diversity if not that this patch then soon. I play a thief and personally I am getting really sick of either having one REALLY good build or a few meh builds. It’s pretty stupid imo. And I know its not just thieves that are like that.

build variety is a priority imo…multiple viable specs per prof make ANY map or game mode fun.

but yeah, im very concerned about the lack of 1v1 team ranked for solo players. im not touching the free tourney format with a stick. it just needs to die.

let’s just hope this upcoming matchmaking/ranking system is solo friendly.

The rating system is dearly needed at this point(actually a long time ago). Just got done trying to get some friends into PvP after doing hotjoin for a while teaching them their builds, etc. Queues for frees wouldn’t pop so we tried to get ONE person from the mists to join us and all that was available in the empty mists was a “dps” engineer. The friends new to the game didn’t have tickets so I had to pay for all of it. We queued up hoping to get a team that isn’t terrible experienced.

So obviously that didn’t happen and we got set up with a Manvil premade and got destroyed. How are we supposed to motivate people about this game?
