Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if this mode would ever become a more standard one?
Coming from a love for WvW sometimes its frustrating having to fight builds or play styles that abuse the fact you need to stand in close proximity to points to the extent that many builds are not viable . I enjoy the build diversity in the game and seeing multiple builds and play styles, especially that mesh with team mates in mind.
Stronghold is fun and fulfills a lot of what I am speaking of, but it does have a lot of extra distractions that remove the focus from the PvP aspect.
I came straight from GW1 in 2012 and RA was my favourite there too. I know immediately after Courtyard’s release it was quite popular even with more problematic stat options available to choose from.
Does anyone else feel the same? I appreciate any responses

Courtyard design didn’t work. A TDM game mode for 5 vs 5 should requier a broad, plain central area -pretty much like the graveyard in Foefire- and each match should have a counter releasing both teams again each ~3 min or so, maybe 5 waves x match.

Courtyard was crapy, narrow circular corridor with no rules in which once a team earn a numerical advantage then snowballed the survivors up to the respawn point to camp 5 vs 1 each arriving player. Blows my mind that the PvP testing team wasn’t able to anticipate what’s going to happen.

I had many good courtyard fights. The snowballing only really happened if a huge mismatch, otherwise group would regroup and come out together close to spawn

Anet give us back Courtyard, add some rocket launchers and rocket jumps…everything will be fine.

…oh and quad damage.

3v3 TDM with no respawns and best of 3 on a better map…would be nice.

simply no 15chars

It’s not a supported format is the problem. Courtyard is fun but there is no way to play it other than custom games, I’m not even sure you can get dailies from it.
Basically I think there is enough interest to add support
