Guild Wars 2

Greetings,

Recently I have read that devs are concerned that if tournament queues were to be separated into soloq and 5v5 queue many people would be left unhappy.

However, if the only concern is that groups of 2,3 and 4 couldn’t participate in tournaments together, why not just simply make a different PvP mode? Right now all we have are 5v5 maps. Naturally, you need to have 5 people in the group to perform to the max.
If for example a 3v3 maps were to be introduced smaller parties could play together. After all, it is much easier to find 2 more friends than 4 more.

It seems that designing maps is not a problem so why not make the next map much smaller and suitable for whatever 2v2 or 3v3 competition? In my opinion, several PvP modes would not only attract more people but would be more friendly to different size player parties.

If to make such maps more questions would rise like whether to keep it capture the point or not. I believe that 99% of the community would rather see something else and more entertaining. After all, different PvP modes could also alternate the meta.

Well, share your thoughts!

It worked for League of Legends (Twisted Treeline 3v3 map). Less people play it but its a great alternative. I think if they do a 3v3 map they should NOT do conquest but instead do a typical arena/deathmatch. That would be awesome actually.

There’s no guarantee that adding new maps will increase the number of people playing pvp. As it stands now, adding modes will only segregate the community and create unbearable wait times until people begrudgingly play the game mode which is most active.

Otherwise, yes – variety would be nice.
