It puts conquest to shame, and it was only a semi-balanced minigame for a holiday event.
These are the kind of maps that should be added to the browser! MOBA, Capture the Quaggan, Deathball. We get that you’re trying to keep it simple for balance reasons, but is there any reason why these can’t be browser-only until the kinks are worked out? Seriously, nobody would mind if tournaments had a stricter map cycle if there were more gametypes available.
As it stands right now, I’m thinking that their decision was to use the Keep Lord/Chieftain/Treb to spice the maps up while keeping the same format. I personally don’t feel like it’s enough, and conquest gets old to me after a while regardless of side-objectives.
God i would love them if they actually did this. Id almost feel bad for all the depressed moping and angry viscious anaologies ive been plastering on the forums.
I hope they never. EVER. Bring MOBA into this game. I absolutely hate MOBA.
And then if they forced it on me in tPvP I’d just flip out and leave. Can’t stand that stuff.
I can’t see them ever forcing MOBA-style on tPvP in GW2. There are to many intricacies to DotA-like games (BLC is a separate entity, and happens to be my favorite MOBA) that you can’t quite replicate in a game like GW2. It would most assuredly be for fun.
And since it’s for fun, you can just not play them. These sorts of extra game modes are the spice that will keep more casual players interested in the game to support the competitive scene if/when it comes to pass. I’d be careful about hating them too hard.

If I could hate them more. I would. Its my least favorite game genre, right next to Nascar racing sims.

It’s getting off-topic, but there has to be a story behind this vehement hate, and I wish I knew it. Right now, DotA 2 is easily my favorite game to spectate for a variety of reasons, though I can’t stand LoL. Playing, of course, is a horse of a different color, but I still find it fun to dabble with friends every once in a while.

lol, Def, I like DotA and DotA2. I hate LoL about as much as you hate MOBAs.
So I agree, MOBA does not = good, by any measure, but I think it can, and I’m easily fooled several times in a row. (I’ll give anet another chance, though I’m beginning to have alternate theories about what that a stands for.)
The conquest/domination format is easily put to shame by many others this is one of the biggest problems here.
It was actually the first format in guildwars to completely die, alliance battles, which was a larger scaled conquest, which was also funner than this one.
I must’ve missed the sign that said it was a fire sale.
