Was having a think about more gamemodes gw2 could do with, and i was thinking about King of the Hill, now ultimately in a game like gw2, this wouldn’t really work without one team completely destroying the other, so i tried to twist it a bit and ultimately, what i came up with was this:

Both team starts with a score of 0, to win, the score needs to be 500.
To gain points, each player individually gains a set number of points every 5 or 10 seconds that they remain on the point (the hill).

For example, if a warrior was standing on the point for 5 seconds, he would gain +5 for his team. If he were to move off the point at 4 seconds, he would gain no points and the timer would reset.
The points are based on the individual player, not the team, but the points add up consecutively to the teams score.

What happens if both teams are on the point? Both teams players (that are standing upon the hill) will gain points as mentioned above.
The numbers could be tweaked of course, so that the games aren’t over in a few seconds, powerups could be placed around the map that prevent the opposing team from gaining points, etc, kills will not grant points, but rather take them away from the enemy team, again, numbers can be tweaked.

The other idea i had, was a simple King of the Hill with the standard KoTH ruleset, where the only difference is that the capture point randomly changes position, with 5 positions on a map that it could be, making teams that pre-emptively attempt to capture the point as soon as it changes position, less effective.

Warrior 80 | Guardian 80 | Ranger 80 | Engineer 80 |
Thief 80 | Elementalist 80 | Mesmer 80 | Necromancer 80 | Revenant TBA

I’d like to see a pure relic running map without capture points.

Sounds like too much coding work for a gamemode that’s incredibly easy to snowball anyways. (think Courtyard). That and Thieves/Mesmers will be left out.. contributing 0 points for their team becausr they’re constantly off point.

There’s already a gamemode that we want – 2v2 or 3v3 best of 3 TDM. Import that gamemode(’s) map selection with Courtyard and we have a Deathmatch checkbox selection along with Conquest and Stronghold.

It’s whether or not Arenanet wants to add another gamemode… it can take little to no effort to implement.

Random Arena from gw1 would be better.

not sure if this helps: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/The_Hall_of_Heroes_

Anet got access to many awesome already existing pvp modes, they are aware of our needs to get wider oftions on how to beat each other’s character to death, so they decided to play some more LoL&&DotA&&HoN and bring us Stronghold instead of sticking to the Guild Frikin Wars uniwerse.
