Guild Wars 2

A big thing that the spvp community has asked for is new game modes. I understand that it must be hard for the devs to know quite how to balance a new game mode and also what new game modes would actually be fun.

A thought I have on this is maybe having an interim arena separate from tournaments and hot joins that rotates out different new ideas biweekly ish. This could mean 4v4 on the new deathmatch map so the devs could see how that would work. It would be fun to have a 2 week map where everyone had to use zerk amulets. It could be 5v5 deathmatch on a limited portion of current capture maps. These are just some ideas off the top of my head, but I feel like having a test arena that people could que up for and try new ideas could be a fun way to start introducing new game modes. If the game mode sucks, nobody cues for a couple weeks and you can scratch it off the list. I feel like this might not work practically but a “Fun House” with little differences from current setups.
