Guild Wars 2

seriously, i dont know if im the onlky one who finds the spvp capping system a really boring game mode. I find myself wanting to kill others more then cap points… Please put in a mode where we can have 5 v 5 8 v 8 10 v 10 deathmatch, where the aim is to see who is the best P V P player, not the best point capper XD

or if you can find a way to implement killing as a viable way to earn lots of points in spvp thats great.

This will make PVP more exciting and good pvpers can become more well known for their skills in the pvp community, rather then the w v w community.

Oh and if you say go to wvw for better PvP, if you die in a fight in wvw it takes 20 minutes just to run around and find another one. No thanks . . .

Nothing more than a 5v5 and as for your statement, the best pvpers are already known since rotations are not a hard concept to grasp and you will still never win a match if you cannot win fights.

Believe it or not 2v2 is more balanced/fun than conquest*

Yea I always wanted death match . Capping points it’s dumb , It player vs player and not Bunker vs Random . If it was death match , the bunkers would dissapear and it would be better that way.

Maybe, but let’s be honest, there were a lot of spirit rangers in that tourney. They’re getting nerfed on the 10th, but even if they get nerfed to the ground, the next best build that can fill that role (massive downed state control + team damage) will be the best 2v2 build. One nice thing about conquest is the build variety. 2v2 is fun and challenging but I don’t think a wide variety of builds are possible in the current combat system.

Oh, and spirit rangers can rez themselves pretty easily, currently allowing their teammate to get away with less downed state control. If self-spirit rez is nerfed, for 2v2 a build without downed state control would be a liability.

Well bunkers disappear in 2v2s. In a 3v3 one bunker would be essential. In a 5v5 you’d probably want two bunkers.

In my Petting Zoo comp I ran Soldiers MM, which is technically a Semi bunk build. It just has decent damage potential, especially with aoe buffs going out.

Right, I just meant there weren’t really any bunker guardians in the tourney, for good reason. I’d say soldier’s MM is a tanky dps build.

Well I mean, “bunks” in a sense have a role, one of the harder comps we faces was at the end Stunning STyles and Sol, Stunning played a guardian, and with enough synergy and built for AOE boons/Support, bunkers are great for keeping the team in the game, especially guardians. I just don’t think their team had enough synergy since it wasn’t pre-planned just a fun extra battle, but it was a pain for sure. I mean 100% selfish bunkers probably don’t have a place anywhere but standing on a point, but I’m not sure that’s a problem. Point is, every class has multiple effective uses in 2v2.

Minor exceptions: Ele are having issues atm, and Spirit rez is too good. Other than that, it’s pretty kitten balanced, from what I could feel. Way more so than Conquest. :S

Yea this game needs deathmatch, but nothing more than 2v2 or 3v3. Gw2 pvp is best suited for small scale fights.
Anything more than 3v3 is a aoe, petting zoo, particle clusterkitten.

strong response, this attitude will definitely support a long lasting and thriving in-game community. congratulations.

No but seriously, I have played many online PvP games… Gw2 pvp is the most skill based and real time i have encountered and the only outlet is capping points mode or wvw roaming, more options would be great. .

If you want a deathmatch, maybe WvW Zergs would be to your liking?
