Guild Wars 2

The game already has 2v2, 3v3, arenas. Just create a custom arena Courtyard, and set it for 2v2, 3v3, or whatever you desire. Simple.

I miss Courtyard.

Ur missing the key point of this which is alot of PvPer’s wants COMPETITIVE 2v2,3v3 or 5v5 modes, without been restricted to capture the points maps and stronghold (which is rly jus PVE).

Competative 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, whatever is pure cancer. 4v4 destroyed ranked in sw:tor in 1 year flat.

Hell one of the Blizzard devs straight up said at one point that introducing arenas was a mistake.

2v2’ing for fun is fine, trying to make it competitive is asinine.

U obviously dont realise a BIG part of WOW’s success is its PVP which has many different modes such as 2v2,3v3, 5v5 Arenas, CTP maps, 10v10.

Do you know wat happens wen u add variety? MOre ppl will PVP

I just cant understand how some players here are against ppl gettin to choice wat competitive PVP they want to play and INSIST on having conquest mode ONLY.

Oh please, nearly all of WoW’s success was that blizzard managed to corner the themepark mmorpg market before anyone else managed to get in and compete with it.

WoW is not a shining example of a good game, it’s a shining example of how effective skinner box and carrot-stick tactics are.

It isn’t off the table, and we have most of the tech for it. I expect at some point we will do it, just not now. I don’t know when either.

Edit: This isn’t a promise we’ll do these type of arenas, just my opinion based off of previous discussions with the team. We may never do them, or we may do something like them. Nothing is planned at this point.

Dont mean to add to the necro’ing of the thread, but this is a very important topic for me.
The fact that you guys are at least considering it means that the hope is real. To promote such hope, I will now add this posts link to my signature (I have never made a signature for anything before), and I hope you guys will too. Lets make some noise for team death match!

But think about the potential income of PVPers! We could take part of the population from WoW’s arena base who would love this type of freedom and skipping the leveling process. And bring back old GW2 players and convert at least some PVErs. I thinks a bit short sighted to just think it’d be fracturing the player base, when in reality you could just be growing it. Bringing in more players and ex players could do wonders for both arena AND conquest populations at once.

Please it’s a great idea, please do this. Please.

I didn’t read all of your posts, but i want to tell you my opinion.

5v5 pvp is very boring to watch, but 2v2 or 3v3, it’s appreciable to watch (and play) , i think if Anet want to succeed in the Esport game, they have to propose another mode than conquest.

Indeed, I think new game modes are an urgent requirement, but not in 2v2 and 3v3 format. This game was never built around 2v2 and 3v3. Look at the concepts, story and huge differences behind each profession to understand what I mean. 2v2 or 3v3 will simply never work, because each profession is completely different and they must combine all those differences in teamwork to have fun and achieve a win (see: combo).

However, for 2v2 and 3v3 ArenaNet gave us a beautiful deathmatch arena called Courtyard. Create a server, activate this map on it, set it for 2v2 and 3v3, then have fun.

I love new things, I love new game modes, I love experimenting, but I do not like changing the whole game, just to make is suitable for 2v2 and 3v3.

As a side note: I would love to see battlegrounds 10v10 (similar to WoW) added here. This would add even more teamwork and more complexity (a huge success in WoW game).
