Guild Wars 2

Oh snap…

-Color Coordinated sites
-Pillars for Line-of-sight
-Inner and Outer Ring
-Multiple entrances to the arena from base to avoid spawn camping
-Custom arenas only

What do you guys think?

Conquest is dead, they need a new main gamemode not a new map.

It isn’t team death match. It is just a map with no cap points for hotjoin with no current plans to make it a tournament queue.

It is the usual. This is no change to GW2 because hotjoin is inherently inbalanced. This is a game mode for wvw players.

I’m just quoting the devs. It is team death-match. If you don’t like the way they are implementing it, that’s your problem and you can voice your opinions. Regardless it’s a small map with the objective being: kill enemy team to win.

Yay, I can troll around by stealth spam.

Now people will finally realize just how bad TDM will work for GW2. Cant wait! :P

There is no TDM. There is no new game mode. It was all a con to get people playing longer. This is simply a map for hotjoin. That is it. And we all know how much of a joke hotjoin is. You see the rage about 4v5’s and things. Well every hotjoin game is like this.

The whole “game mode” is a total con. PvP got the screw again

It should be no respawns like arena or something…. once you loose first team fight its going be a farm 90% of time anyway imo.

Pretty worthless as it’s placed in custom arena’s.

Eh, I would have preferred this to be a game mode… but at least it’s here, that’s a start. Been dying for deathmatch for over a year now, I’ll take it any way I can get it.

-Custom arenas only

I am very confused.

It’s still using the regular PvP settings, but without capture points. That means kills still put points on the scoreboard, and custom arena owners can alter how many points it takes to win the map.

So yeah, they’ve pretty much just added a Team Deathmatch Map.

Finally a (small) step in the right direction. Unfortunately I’ve moved on.

Pros
– At least there’s an option to conquest?
– Map looks decent enough in terms of design for what it is.

Cons
– Since this is for custom arena only, we’re still pretty much left with Conquest as the only real sPvP option for gameplay.
– There’s really very little room for any sort of strategic gameplay when there’s no objective outside of a straight deathmatch.
– This probably means that we’re not going to get the sort of multi-objective, non-conquest based game mode that is really needed to break up the current PvP meta.

Predictions
– This will turn into a zerg-fest where people ball up and spam abilities with little to no strategy involved.

It’s a pure TDM map, i think it’s very good for 1vs1, 2vs2 and 3vs3.

I don’t think 5vs5 TDM works well in this game, but this is an option to play differently from conquest mode.

So it’s true, this is not a new gamemode (officially supported) but it’s a good start because if people like this map, new game mode will born around it.

Personally i want to bet on TDM small fights.

I’m positive about it.

the only problem is that it’s in hotjoin. I hate that place.

At least it’s not 8 vs 8…

This is the only way Front/Mid/Back lines will finally be relevant I think. Hope so anyway.

I agree with that

Its only in custom arenas…. not even in a new game mode for competitive play..lol…

They made a good map, they picked a good game mode, and everything was perfect.

I thought that was the first time anet didnt kitten up

And then they said custom arenas only.

Gg wp…

Whats the point of conquest without its ladder?
