Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has been brought up before, but I just want to throw my two cents out there.

I’ve played over 6,800 PvP matches (hotjoin/soloq/tpvp) and I would really like a larger variety of gameplay than just conquest. I keep hearing that others are on the horizon, but – I still don’t see any

Here are some variants to PvP that I think would be awesome if some form of it was added to PvP.

Fort Aspenwood
This was my most favorite thing to do in GW1. There were so many roles to play! You could defend gates, win back shrines, run amber, keep turtles alive, kill/stall turtles, or just slaughter players. With so many specs, nothing got old. Even PvE type players enjoyed this map for if you were not the best fighting another player, you could still win back shrines, run amber, or keep turtles/gates alive to do your part for the team. I miss it so much. I feel this would be a great segue for PvE players to get into more hardcore PvP.

GvG
For crying out loud, it is Guild Wars! I was really thinking there would be some form of this at launch and here we are one and a half years later. This would be an awesome variant that I’m sure many would love. It’d be cool to do an 8v8 in a mid-sized map. Have a castle on one side, a castle on the other – some supplies in-between. First team to break down the door and kill lord wins. Your Guild could queue up and when another team of 8 from another guild queues up, boom – it’s on!

Slayer (Deathmatch)
Another one of my favorite pvp GW1 things to do was random area and team area. Straight up slaughter fest.

Thanks for the fun so far, just looking for a little variety is all.

I miss FA a lot too. I didn’t do much GVG back then but I like that as well. GW2 PVP seems lacking.

I mess Death Match, Anet say’s it can’t be done but that’s a lie. It can be done and Team Comp’s will form battles will last 15mins long.

HA and FA/JQ turtle/gate slayer/healer with my RT
i miss my RT
GvG its great but now we got WvW for that thing (conquer a castle and kill the lord)

I’d love an FA map. One of the funniest things in late GW.

I played FA until the format died before gw2 release.

@Sol.4310 – yeah, I definitely agree it can be done, but do you think they will spend the resources (people time) to do it?

Give pvp a lil’ lovin ;^)

I don’t always play PvP, but when I do its Fort Aspenwood!

@Darrkid.2935 – I’m surprised you didn’t make that a meme

First team to break down the door and kill lord wins.

Thats Pv E. You’ve mistaken the forum sections. Dont even give them pve idea pls… We have enough pve idiocy in the current maps…

I’d love nothing more than to have the pvp from GW1 in GW2 (GvG, HA, RA, FA etc) it was the greatest mmorpg pvp I’ve ever played. But I don’t think most of those modes would even be able to work without a dedicated healer like we had in GW1. Things like GvG, HA where you wanted your highest ranked players on healers because it heavily relied on how good they were. Even in RA or TA, you wouldn’t expect to go on a 25 win streak unless you had a healer on your team and without healers I don’t think matches would last longer than 1-2 minutes in GW2 unless everyone went bunker builds lol. For game modes like FA or JQ they’d probably never end in GW2 unless there was a timer, people would just keep nuking the turtles since there are no healers and no one would be able to score.

@Jinx.7258 – did you play in the 6v6 GvG tournament a few weeks back? It is very fun and very do-able. Far from PvE.

@Sleepyy.1598 – have you been watching some of the 2v2 matches on Tuesdays? Some of those are not quick. I think some of those can last as long as matches in GW1 RA. In GW1 RA you had some quick matches if you had the right spike on the monk. GW2 it would play out a little differently. I think the matches would go quick as well, but then that is why you could establish rounds. Best of 3 or best of 5.

I’m not saying take exactly what we played in GW1 and bring it to GW2. I’m saying take some of the game types, keep the principals, and tweak them so they work in GW2.

6v6 is GvG…? What is 20v20/25v25 then… a war? Get a grip.

Any PvP format including PvE mechanics is comeplete and utter kitten. Period. One of the MANY reasons why GW2 is dead. Devs never, EVER realised that their pve “second mechanics” are bad. Its massive fail that they are announcing tournament winners who have won by killing NPCs. If you simply fail to realise this simpliest straight forward theory,you are truely not a pvp player. Nothing else to say. Bye.

Someone talking about GvG in Gw2.

Must lock thread or make it a feedback thread and once the “thx for all your feedbacks” is done, close it asap
