Guild Wars 2

Hi guys,
What happened to 8v8 hotjoin servers ? It was fun to try new builds and classes at 8v8 hotjoin, now all servers became 5v5. Will there be official 8v8 ones again ?(besides custom arenas)

They removed it. Do a custom search for 8v8s and above and keep tabs on those. Join when there’s a space.

8v8 servers were, due to perfect accordance, moved to wvw

Yeah, I’m currently using that but custom servers are generally empty. Official 8v8 servers are needed like before in addition to 5v5 ones. Teams are currently so unpopulated for my taste. I respect 5v5 lovers, but I don’t like it in hotjoin.

Anet should remove 5 vs 5 and add 15 vs 15 and 20 vs 20.

I don’t think they need to remove any game mode or team-size. They should just add 8v8 ones again along with 5v5. Different teamsizes for different tastes. But 15v15 or 20v20 modes need much bigger arenas imo. 8v8 was ideal for hotjoin. 5v5 seems boring to me as I like more action. 5v5 has just slower gameplay with same “all team vs 1 player” combat… As I say, both 5v5 and 8v8 ones must stay for different tastes.

I would love 15v15 or 20v20 servers. At least then we could GvG without all the trolls being in the way of good fun.

I miss 8 vs 8 too, dunno why we cant do that anymore.

i miss 8 vs 8 also.

i certainly do miss the official 8 vs 8 servers.

but now i get to enjoy 5 vs 5 team arena with my guild members every night.

something that never happened before in the past.
