Guild Wars 2

Hello,

I just saw that dev. work on new maps and mod. It’s very nice (at last, I would like to say ^^).

But my question is : is there news on a future type of pvp, that looks like more like free/open pvp ? With quite big open maps (maybe even intenational maps), where players could go to achieve some daily quests and possiblité to free pvp ?
Juste like the “Tol Barad” in WOW ? (precision : not the pvp match event, but the map with dailies quests)

GW2 has his rules and privilegiate structured/competitive pvp, I know. But GW2 is really missing the type of free pvp that could be fun for most people.

And I dont speak about mcm maps where it’s nearly impossible to do 1v1. There is mostly big groups doing objectives.

I think you mean open world pvp like wow and most mmos have, sadly gw2 doesn;t have that and i don’t think it will ever have, the closes thing is wvw wich is just a giant zerg fest.

If I remember correctly, Tol Barad match was just zerg vs zerg fighting (even worse than WvW now), like two snakes eating each other tails, with some smart people breaking out doing side objectives (destroying towers).

Outside of match, it was just open world PvP. If we could have some events encouraging playing outside of zerg, then yes, it would be awesome. We have already some bosses on map (“quests”), but they reward nothing, and nobody bothers going there.

Sorry, i didnt explain very well. U true Fagins, when u talk about the Tol Bard event.

I thought more about the place after the event, where players had to do dailies in the lower map of the tol Barad, and in upper place.

The dailies pulled lot of players all the day and i was fun to have much occasions to pvp. More than outside normal lvling maps who was nearly empty.

So thats why I think that GW2 could put a similar system, with a special map or place with dailies and rewards, without changing all his pve system.

I think Anet will be introducing a smaller version of WvW for people to play, with the rewards being increasing your wvw XP but not giving points to your server. This is to ease the wait times for queuing for wvw, but I haven’t heard much about it for awhile.

I dont know exactly how “good” it will be, but what about the upcoming Edge of the Mists?

Wasnt that map ment to be more encouraging roaming and small player groups?

I hope it ll be like this, yes.

WvW is good but the server’s objectives push players to group. So there’s nothing in GW2 between the 5v5 tournaments and the blob fights of WvW.

Players who want to have the hunt&survive feeling have nothing. We could get it a bit in the WvW jumping map but the fact that the 3 factions begin at the same spot make it more like open arena than hunt&survive type game.

But in all cases, in this new WvW map, I think that players must have goals to get there, like dailies rewards/tokken for special unique items. Otherwise, it will not pull lot of players.
