Guild Wars 2

Just a topic with some ideas for additional pvp modes. Some more easy to implement than others, feel free to contribute in comments.

Idea 1: 2v2 Arena, 3v3 Arena, 5v5 Arena
Just good old arena style combat with no respawns.
Map Design
Small map with obstacles to provide line of sight and terrain to provide height advantages.
Winning criteria:
Team with a man standing at the end wins.

Idea 2: Assault, Siege based PvP, 8v8
Both teams have a keep with high hp that can only be damaged with trebuchets. The 3 trebuchets are on a capture point and belong to the team that owns the point.
Trebuchets are like the ones on Khylo, they can be destroyed and repaired.
Map Design
Semi large map (think Foefire). 1 keep in the east, 1 in the west. 3 points in the middle of the map from north to south.
Winning criteria:
No points are rewarded for kills, the game ends when one of the keeps is destroyed.

Idea 3: Capture the flag, 15v15
Think GvG but with 2 flags.
Map Design
Large open map with a small tunnel at the end to the flag. Symmetrical.
Winning criteria:
3 flag captures wins the match, no points rewarded for kills.

Idea 4: Escort, 5v5
Each team has to move supply from 1 castle to another. A slow dolyak spawns every minute to do so. Each team can use support mortars (think tequatl) along its path.
The paths of the two teams intersect in the middle of the map.
Map Design:
Square map with 2 castles, blue has to escort from the top right to the bottom left, red has to escort from the bottom right to top left.
Winning criteria:
Team with all supply moved wins, or most points at the end of the timer. Bonus point for killing enemy dolyaks and players.

edit: a word

I’d love this. More sPvP modes is fairly much all I’m waiting for.

Just can’t be bothered to play sPvP any more with only Conquest available.
