Guild Wars 2

The tension between the players as to which class is the best is a fierce and heated argument, best solved by remembering each profession has gotten better after each consecutive Thief nerf (yes, even the Thief’s, like a grumpy phoenix they rise from the ashes of self immolation because they got too kitten about not getting access to the burning condition).

But now there could be a better solution, stick them in an unranked PvP game mode where small teams essentially tavern brawl to show off why they’re the best in a team of players all the same profession (each team is a different profession. Like 4 Elementalists Vs 4 Warriors. Is that clear enough? I feel like it isn’t a hard concept to misunderstand). It could even still be in the mists and make sense, giving us a Norn representation in the mists of a big ol’ lodge of the past.

Yes there might be obvious match ups where one profession will out power another by several magnitudes, but after a few dozen games wouldn’t you get enough metadata to be able to give specific match ups match long buff/conditions to even the playing field?

Does anyone else think this would be mildly hilarious to play? 3 minute long rounds, best of 3 matches, where the aim is just to have downed more of the opposing team. Where there’s a bunch of Neutral NPC’s that rush in to revive and bring out of the brawl the downed players or something, you could interact with the NPCs with fear and knock-down (not immobilize, we’re gentlefolk here and know not to purposely involve bystanders).

Feedback? Comments? Early calls for obvious winners of match-ups?

It can be fun if people dont try-hard in this matches, cause obviously its going to be so random

If you remove eles, mesmers and thiefs from the gamemode it may work.

Or just section them off together to fight amongst themselves, as they are the rock, paper scissors combo of each other.

We did this a few years ago. It was the profession tournaments. Teams of casual to semi-advanced players were put on teams of all the same profession and they were coached by one of the veterans of the profession. It was quite fun to coach and watch as the full class teams had to fill different roles in order to function. Maybe could be brought back with build restrictions for build stacking.

So we make it 5v5 and each player only gets a single, unique full trait line which they pick at the start of the match?

Maybe they could just limit the choices to one amulet type per player on the team? Or something like that.

It was fun having a banner bunker warrior fight beside a shout support war, berzerker gs war, hammer war, and condition war.
