Guild Wars 2

With the recent announcement that Stronghold is going to be crammed into Unranked and Ranked queue, I thought maybe they should take it a step further… behold, the new spvp to do list:

1. Remove Compete, Play and Practice buttons from the Spvp UI. If the New Player experience has taught us anything, it’s that we’re all idiots and should have everything dumbed down to houseplant level difficulty. Instead, just one button called: Something.

By pressing the Something button you’re randomly selected to either a Ranked match (hopefully in progress), an Unranked match (likely stacked with a full team on the other side) or Hot Join where you’ll be yelled at for trying to do anything because, hey man, we’re just trying to finish our daily in here… Occasionally, the Something button should take you into a private server and make you invincible and give you the ANET tag… but just occasionally.

2. In fact, because the theme is to keep players guessing as to whether or not they’ll be fighting over points, focused solely on killing their opponents or doing all that Stronghold stuff, I feel like you need to use the new Map Selection UI on the Enter PvP Lobby button. Instead of just taking you to the Heart of the Mists, it should randomly take you either to Hotm or WvW or a randomn jumping puzzle or something. God knows I’m just excited to be here.

3. Add more stuff to Unranked Queue: Imagine Unranked Queue is your closet and every competitive game mode you’ve ever released is an article of clothing lying on your floor, and you’ve been asked to clean your room. What do you do? Stuff everything in the closet. I want it ALL in unranked queue: Snowball Arena, Southsun Survival, Dragon Ball Arena, Winter Wonderland Jumping Puzzle, That one game where you throw barrels and stuff, etc. When I go into the spvp menu, my desire for choice is completely gone. Get creative boys!

4. Randomize Traits and Classes: Seriously, if I don’t care what game mode I’m playing, why should I care what class and build I’m playing. Surprise me! I don’t even want to see the Character selection screen just take me straight to my series of Wheel of Fortune buttons so I can get playing something I want to play (But don’t know what it is yet).

Thanks for reading! Looking forward to something, I don’t know what because I have no desire for anything specific, but I know I’m excited about something randomly happening in the future!

1. No

3. NOOOOOO
4. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Very reasonable suggestions comrade, I believe to spice this up completely, when we login, it should randomly choose to send us to either GW1 or GW2. Although maybe that is a step backward. If it thrust you into GW1 when you wanted to play GW2, you might actually end up in a game that will allow you to choose what you want to do without RNG.

Might have to patch GW1 to go along with the new design philosophy.

I support this.

I thought this would be a whine post, but it’s actually quite an insightful post XD.
Support this too.

Someone should make a mod for this. Not sure if it will ever make it off ANet’s table into the game otherwise.

The best part about adding this would be the profession specific achievements for PvP dailies! Think about the excitement! “It took me 8 matches to get the mode, build, and profession I wanted to play!”

I gave you a +1 OP. Your post is funny because it’s true.
