Guild Wars 2

guild wars 2 has been out for over two years and still only has one pvp gamemode, conquest. one mode gets boring, and not everyone finds the conquest mode appealing. i think adding other popular gamemodes that are often staples in multiplayer games would greatly improve the lasting appeal of the game.

Deathmatch

Team Deathmatch

Capture the Flag

Soon™

There already is a deathmatch mode in custom arenas, isn’t there?

Is it viable? Did they advertise it? Did they take it seriously? Was it just a filler? Why is it so similar to hotjoin?

Did you create a forum post demanding this map to be in solo arena ? Or any posts about how to improve the map ? Do all of you even lift bros ?

the combat is really great in this game, but one gamemode no matter what it is will get stale. it makes the game hard to recommend.

Yeah like “Dude,you have to try this game,it has AWESOME PVP!”
“Well,is pvp alot of fun?”
“Yeah well…we have…..uhm…there’s conquest annnnnnddd………”
“………”

We already have Capture the Flag…sort of though. But it’s not even recognized officially as a game mode for esports. Why? And where’s the official support for 1v1,2v2 and 3v3 arena styled deathmatches?

I created no such thread and wouldn’t have it to if it the courtyard was properly introduced,it really feels like a filler. 1v1 arena is sure not to happen but they can maintain conquest as the main mode . They would need add variation of the map first I am waiting on ready up or a survey about the subject unless it’s official forums post seems neglected. This is not new there should be an active thread where we can really discuss this.

We will get new modes soon….

Edit: Yes a few threads there and there exist but the lack of communication between the development of new modes and players is frustrating. Ask for feedback more often mention the progress once in a while.

If they added new game mode different to conquest the following would happen:

Conquest
1. Already low soloq / teamq player pool would be cut by half
2. Several will rage quit because even worse match ups and longer queue times
3. Existing tournaments will collaps because not enough players

New mode xyz
1. Class balance is horrible in the new game mode
2. players will not wait for 2 years for New mode xyz balance to build up
3. Players quit pvp

> Only bad options > (hopefully) not going to happen.

1. Make the game mode available to tourneys,,,and btw,tourneys already have only a handful of players.
The rest of the points you make is pretty non valid imo.
