In an effort to try something new besides the standard dueling servers my friend and I have been working on making a bit more intricate battleground.

The idea is that if you die you severely put your team at a disadvantage. Thus we made the respawn timer the max length (if you die then it takes 2 mins to respawn).

It’s currently set to a 3v3 match with spectators allowed (so 14 spectator max). We’ve been wanting to make it 5v5 but at this dead hour no one is joining so no matches will start.

We set the score limit to 100 so the matches don’t take long and the idea is that you can cap points, kill bosses or do whatever you want, but if you die your’e going to really put your team in a bad position. It’s a conquest blitz match where every death is extraordinarily important—hence the Hunger Games theme.

My question is how could this be improved to be:
1) more enjoyable
2) more competitive

The stats of the room are as follows:
3v3
first to 100 wins
10min max time limit
Spectators allowed
No password

It sounds like a very neat idea, but it should have limitations on the number of builds of a type you can have, otherwise everyone would just run bunker/Thief to survive.

Instead you should have a last man standing sort of game play going on, where it is 5v5, and players that are eliminated HAVE to spectate.

Map is too big for a 3v3. As dying is the same as loosing you will see prob eles or rangers the most. Or stealth-kill ppl out of shadow-refuge (w/e). So if smn dies the game is over. The conclusion of this is to pick one target out and get him at all costs. Nothing more to win is required.

That’d be awesome, random challenges for players. “You can now only fight with utilities”

Yes there is many thing that we can change but the tools for doing so arent there yet,
killing or getting killed relies on the stategy if you wanna “zerg” and clear nodes or if you wanna hold a point and do the battle there, teams can always just run for center point and see who is standing at the end , if u could i would change that aswell only 1 node to take and less points so the grp has to get in there and fight for it , anyhow there are things i cannot modify atm , started a /r/guildwars2 reddit post so hop in there and give us ideas!!
we can also make “tourneys” and the way that can be done is put password protected, and have the ppl that wanna give it a try join a “guild” so we can organize better and all that, but we need to see how it turns out and how much ppl like the idea
