Guild Wars 2

Hi,
i’ve read a few old posts about duels and 2v2 / 3v3 arenas and the answers from anet empolyees looked quite vague so i just wanted to ask if there were any news about this topic, has something been decided?

At the moment there are 21 people in queue for wvw and i was thinking having some duels meanwhile would somehow kill the time.

Personally i like what gw2 actually offers about pvp but sometimes i’d like to have some pure pvp (whitout other aims in it) and something like that, if ranked, would give me more satisfaction.

The actual pvp obliges the players to be linked to at least 4 other people or at least i have this feeling. What if i wanted something that relies more or just on me?

I’d like to feel free to choose what kind of pvp style i want to play and as you can imagine sometimes actual arenas and wvw don’t really match what i seek.

I know, we have the custom arenas, but it’s not the same, probably because they are not ranked and kinkittene.

I write this with lots of respect for anet team, you built a wonderful game but more freedom in pvp would make it much less monotonous.

Thanks in advance

The Anet team added Stronghold to ranked, but took it out prior to S5 because it was easily farmed by premades. That was also true of Conquest and Anet made the solo/duo queue to compensate, but inexplicably didn’t add Stronghold back in.

I mentioned that to make the point that Anet had an interest in diversifying sPvP more, but seems to have forgotten about that. The small sPvP team has many things to focus on, like improving matchmaking, changing the league system, and class balancing, and as a result new game modes seem to have fallen by the wayside. There are far more “ugh i hate DH/Warrior REEEEE” threads than threads asking for new game modes, so that’s where they focus their limited resources. If you’re looking for a response from the dev team then just sit tight, they don’t directly communicate very often.
