Guild Wars 2

I hope someone can enlighten me, I really do, because this game mode is coming and I might not be able to choose not to play it.

I feel like this map could become as Alterac Valley became in wow ,where both teams pass each other up and basically do a PVE race. In many games I play in stronghold, there are players i don’t even see on the other team because they are literally just pushing minions and attacking NPC’s.

I can see this being a completely different game mode with good communication and would love to watch those games, but i enjoy soloQ, a world where there isn’t much room for typing while playing.

i dont see that as the case. Alterac Valley is more of a small scale WvW with tower holding. Stronghold does have the defensive choke points, and it works out. Just dont have the good group numbers.

but I expect the custom maps with 10 vs 10 Stronghold to be where the balance and fun will be at.

It used to be like AV during the first few stronghold betas. It was too easy to keep the initial Doorbreakers alive, which turned the game mode into a PvE race.

In the last few BWEs, the Doorbreakers were made easier for players to kill. That allowed a single or two defenders to hold off half-hearted Doorbreaker pushes without completely losing a gate. As a result, the matches are stalemating and more often than not, running to timer. I haven’t played this weekend yet to see the changes.

Are you guys liking this mode? I like how it is different from the CTP style, but i would have rathered something different. My favorite pvp mode of all time has been hut ball in SWTOR!

It’s not terrible like it was in earlier betas (PvE race), but I still much prefer conquest.

So much this. I still log into TOR for Huttball.

It would be amazing if they brought huttball to GW2!!!
