Guild Wars 2

It’s already in the game…

It’s called raid of the capricorn.

cause they think if they overload the devs with stupid ideas then the real ideas that will help will become drowned out.

Because the game’s good mechanics are best enjoyed in small teamfights. 1v1 tends to be predictable; anything more than 5v5 is pretty much lolzerg, as there is no backline, no midline, and no true priority targets.

I usually dislike deathmatches in general, but the mechanics of GW2 are simply better for 3v3 than GvG.

lol you’re right

Because if we would like numb button bashing in hope to kill someone we would go play Call of Duty?

8v8 / 5v5 connquest gets repetitive and is boring now. I dont see how adding more pvp modes can hurt.

We need deathmatch, capture the flag and objective based modes.

We need to have the option to do all of the above including conquest with smaller groups. Why 3v3, its magic number for teamwork.

Deathmatch =/= respawn & capture points. just saying.

I can imagine 3v3 death match… and it appears absolutely terrible. Players complain about glass thieves and warriors now… I couldn’t even imagine the qq if 3v3 death matches were implemented.

I am by no means bored or remotely dissatisfied with conquest pvp. I would hate to see anet ruin this game because a few people are bored. I suggest playing other games if you are bored

I’d play the game again if there was such a mode, and some of the balance work that is needed was done. Myself and two friends might be incentivized to come back for that. Or 3v3 free tourneys. Ideally, 2v2 as well. Essentially, if I join a tourney with 3 party members, 2 party members, whatever, we get matched vs. another 2some or 3some or 4some. WoW arenas did this, and while the gear-grind there made arena’s unpleasant, it would be way better here. We don’t tourney now because we’re turned off about picking up 2 pugs who may or may not have voice comm etc.

Probably because it’s a popular form of PvP in WoW and for some reason people think that most if not all MMORPGs after WoW need to have some form of death-match that specifically requires 3 people per team.

Personally, I’d be cool with the idea of a 3v3… so long as people wouldn’t complain about the horrible imbalances that would come with the mode, it would be a worse meta-game than 8s or 5s in that it would be bunker or burst teams and if a bunker vs bunker match happened it would be boring as kitten, while a burst vs burst game would be over in a minute or two.
It’d just be an ultra-rage inducing environment where skill isn’t much of a factor.

The reason there is no deathmatch is because people will just go full damage traited and geared, and just nuke, there is no tactical thinking in it.

The first one to drop is the loser pretty much, It’s just pretty much spam all your buttons and dish out damage.

If this mode existed, I would REALLY like you as my enemy with ideas like that…

No, only nabs have problems with gimmicky built wars and thieves, average skilled player has no problem dodging/stunbreaking/immobilizing/etc. them – you have to take into consideration, that most people do not come to forums, because if everything is OK in your opinion there is not really a reason to come here, and only ones that like to qq and do nothing to improve their skill create constant nerf that/this is op topics.

i hate conquest. 3v3 is not my favorite but i’d take anything that’s not conquest at this point.

People want deathmatch because it’s casual/newbie friendly. All you need to be able to do is play your class.

Haha, really?

My circle of friends has been running a lot of wvw as fighting people in the open field is similar to a death match environment. I can tell you from running into other like minded groups the combat system is absolutely deep enough to support 3v3, maybe even 5v5.

Your glass group will get destroyed by anyone running a decent cc/conditioner.

There are many people out there that do not like conquest that would come around for deathmatch even if it wasent the focus for balance.

I’m going to have to sanitize my brain with bleach for admitting this but….
I miss warsong gulch a little bit just for the variety (ab was conquest after all).
