Guild Wars 2

I really hope they have an option to disable elite skills, and maybe even an option to replace your elite skill with an extra utility.

wtf?

I doubt that will be an option. Some classes are built around thier elite skill.

Yeah, cause those guardian elites are devastating.

The Idea is nice, but it wouldn’t happen.

DON’T WORRY

when game gets customazible server . there will be players including me who wants to revive this pvpgame. i am dreaming on a weekly 2v2 or 3v3 or 5v5 deathmatch nodefight hold by the community. I would do something like this and if u can put some gold for the winners and do some records/ shoutcasts . this game becomes fun and really interesting to watch.

who doesnt want to see the best players competing in a 2v2 3v3 5v5?

Nop, Spvp developed to be 5v5 and thats how should be because almost every esport game is 5v5.

First of all, custom arenas sounds great, looking forward to it!

I have a question tho:

Will we be able to host Guild vs Guild in arenas? For example 20v20 fights and points and time limit turned off?

Looking at there will be a password on the arena we would be able to choose our opponents, points wouldnt be a problem really. So its mostly how many people would fit in the arena?

Now THAT sounds interesting!

Just 1 question.. When?!

Custom arenas have the possibility to revive the PvP community so.. When is it ready?

Can’t wait to make my “no mesmers allowed” arenas.

Would like to see at least some way to change the game type. For example:
Option to toggle certain nodes off. So one could leave only one node on to make it a king of mountain type game.

Sounds better than all 3.

Still not on par with what gw2 should have been.

I think it would be pretty much a necessity and improve GW2 immensely, if you had the option to:

1) Toggle off the 2 Sidenotes (which would make the Map King of the Hill)
2) Tweak the Point-Gain by Kills/Nodes and secondary Objectives by a certain percentage. Sth. like: Point-Gain 0%, -50%, -25%, +25% and +50%.

I don’t think that those Options would be hard to implement, but it would basically give us several new Game-Modes, I don’t see a reason why ANet should let that additional content they could generate basically for free, slip through their fingers.

I would love to know how you would go about renting servers, if that’s been decided yet. Will it be gems, like I expect? Or will you also be able to pay for them using gold/glory/guild influence/quaggan scalps? And will you rent them by the match, or for recurring periods? Are you thinking of something like what Quake Live tried to do, where you’ll also have custom maps available just for custom arenas?

As for spectator mode, I’m hugely looking forward to it. The introductionof observer mode was what made GW1 really take off as well iirc, so big hopes for it. I posted a few ideas on how you could monetise observer mode here which I’d apppreciate if you took a look at:

1. Have a “promoted matches” list, where people would be able to pay to make their matches publicly viewable to everyone for, say, a week, even if they wouldn’t normally be able to see them. You could use that as:
a. a recruitment tool (you were an amazing machine of death in that particular match and you want to leverage it to get top guilds to recruit you, or to get top players to join your guild – they’re much more likely to see it in GW2 than on youtube with all those cat videos distracting them after all!)
b. bragging rights for your buddies (hey look, we beat Team Legacy or whatever)
c. publicity material, if, say, you’re an independent promoter sponsoring a cash prize tournament (it’s not very good for publicity if nobody sees the games after all).
2. Be able to pay a small amount of gems to make your own matches available for viewing for longer. This could have several levels, for instance you could pay a recurring monthly fee to make all your matches available for as long as you’re paying, or maybe you could pay a one-off fee to make a specific game available to you for re-viewing indefinitely. The audience for this would be fairly small of course as people normally FRAPS the matches they really want to keep, but I assume observer mode would allow you to switch between multiple perspectives so would be more useful as a training tool than a recording.
3. There’s also the possibility of sticking ads in there, though I’m not too crazy about the idea. Still, don’t think I’d mind a corporate logo in the corner of the screen, and it’s only fair if they were sponsoring a tournament.

Arenanet I just want to ask a little thing because you might offer the custom server for gems and you can´t do that, You have offer us the custom through money like in FPS games we pay 15 or 10 for a month and that will bring you alot money. Custom arenas are cheap , and if we pay with gems , everyone will have custom areanas so easily.

Easily? Do you kno whow much is it 200 gems a day?

Xolo.3580:

I’d just like to see what would happen if you added “Downed State Toggle”.

Would love this one!

If toggling downstate is to hard to program, give us a slider that adjusts the amount of health we have while downed, say from 1% (die on next hit) to 200% (for whatever wierd kitten reason you want).

Im a pvp guy during the day but at night , I ust need to do a few dungeons not that many dungeons you think and I make 3/4 gold per day, and I dont do any kind of WvW or farming, I really dont understand that much about PVE, because im a pvp. I’d like to ask u , how many gems can I do with 4 gold? I still think we should pay money or high amounts of gems.

They said they’ll “probably” lower the cost of the time tickets and “probably” raise of the cost of the starter kit.

I’d be very interested to see what happens!; I might even come back to the game (left early Jan)

this would be awesome!)

I doubt that will be an option. Some classes are built around thier elite skill.

which class?

Any updates, just let us know!

Some people were talking about tweaking skills, letting them alter skills more than marginally (like editing CDs or other numbers by like 25~% at most) would be far too messy.

More on topic though, allowing people to make/customize maps are the only way I’d see this being, even though I hate to say it, more than a waste of Anets time :/

I do not know anyone who would pay money to be able to adjust respawn timers or make a private lobby, especially in this game as is.
There are literally hundreds of open and empty SPvP servers for people to join up in and do their shenanigans in, if custom arenas give only marginal changes to an SPvP server it will be a marginal change in the game at best.

Conquest is a kitten only choice for maps since soooo many people hate how Anet pulled it off, yet love the base combat mechanics of GW2… let the players have the parts of the game they love and help fix the not so popular stuff (it doesn’t have to touch the tourny scene, public test/bugfix servers would help allot) Many players would happily help Anet flaming jump forward since a large change has to happen for GW2, a game with soooo much potential, to actually have a S/TPvP population in a year~

Aaanyways, maybe a big step is too much for the GW2 team. Maybe getting PvP to make money just isn’t their thing. Maybe they only care to trudge along, heads down, never looking beyond making that conquest of theirs into an all around popular and esport level game mode (it won’t happen). I mean you never know though, they could pull out a surprise or 2 for an otherwise utterly disappointing S/TPvP crowd (crosses fingers)…

/endrant…

toggle: disable downed state

What will be ‘arena’ about custom arenas?

Any chance you can change your name to ConquestNet?

Rerroll.9083:

What about

• toggle: forbid double class

Unique classes I like it

toggle: forbid classes with pets, aka “warriors only”
