Guild Wars 2

Hi, as I haven’t seen much concerning what was said at PAX I thought I’d get rid of a few thoughts I had when viewing the PvP related part.

1) Great that you introduce a new game mode, what has been said sounds good, I’ll give it a try. Not much has been said but I hope we can have 10Vs10 or 8Vs8 matches again outside of private arenas with Stronghold.

2) Now that we will have three modes to play(Conquest, Team Death Match and Stronghold), pls make sepparate queues for the modes while also introducing at least two more TDM maps and two or three Stronghold maps from the beginning, to keep things a bit more interesting.
Reason behind this is: If I’m playing a char setup fur cap’ing points it’s very frustrating to land in courtyard out of the map roulett and a single player vote. If I want to go for TDM, let me be ready and queue up for it by choice. I think same will be true for the new mode.
I know it’s probably too late to change anything about HoT, so I just jope that someone on your team thought about this as well

3) If there’s no time to code new maps, maybe some old maps from festive minigames would make good TDM maps, like the dragon bash one, or the Aspect-thingy that never made it into the activity rotation.

just my two cents, have a nice weekend

…edit: and while you’re at it, return Raid on the Capricorn to the available maps somehow, you already added an “unfair” map by adding Skyhammer, so why not bring back a map you removed while players asked for new maps to be added…

I miss raid on the Capricorn :/ I wish it was still around, even if only available in practice/ hotjoin. It was a fun map to play, the invulnerability power-ups on the ship are what I miss most about it. The underwater was meh but it was still cool to have an option to pvp with underwater combat. They should have left it. More maps/ objective choices = better.

No idea why it was removed honestly. It wasn’t THAT confusing, and it should have stayed in practice as an option if anything.

LoL, I thought i was the only one who missed that map! Raid on the Capricorn!!
I love raining down cannon balls @ zergs fighting @ points. I always get the making it rain title and it was so fun. The underwater fight was always something new and refreshing. But they probably have underwater class balancing issues and bugs as some classes don’t even have elite skills underwater. I hope they return it though.

I wish arena net will make good DM maps but will have secondary objectives like buff ups, point per pick ups, create an attack army and defend lords, capture the flag and the likes. They will never announce it for the suspense and to avoid giving of false information when it’s not yet final.
