Guild Wars 2

Hotjoin is deathmatch most of the time

I actually think not having healers would make small scale (talking 3v3 WoW style) DM better than WoW was. Nobody likes fighting healers, and it would take a lot of skill from each player to keep their selves alive. Because of no healers, you really can’t carry people in this game. Things like a guardian pulling someone off your ally so he has time to cast his heal, or a Mesmer using mass invisibility so his teammate getting trained can run away. Most classes also have some type of revive utility skill (illusion of life/ele glyph) I really believe this could work but anet is so obsessed with boring boring BORING conquest mode. I cannot stress enough how much I hate the conquest mode. I play it because I like pvp and working with a team, but lately my friends and I have been wvw roaming and it honestly is more fun.

But who plays hotjoin competitively? Does anybody actually care about hotjoin?

Arenanet shouldn’t determine that, the players should.

Anet should just put out a good game and whatever happens, happens, if deathmatch ends up being played casually and conquest is played more competitively then there you go, could be the other way around.

No reason not to have a deathmatch mode if people want to play it.

If anet successfully bridges the gap and ppl starting forming teams from solo q and the pvp player base eventually starts to grow again, I think we will see a lot less QQ about conquest. Currently not many ppl actually play the true conquest (5 coordinated player team) and so of course their going to complain about it.

The real problem with Death match is the balance. It would be a whole new game type that anet would HAVE to try and balance because the QQ would be unimaginable. At least now if your class is UP you can at least make up for it some by playing smart with the objectives. Take away that objective and feel the true power of forum QQ.

Conquest if full of deathmatch faceoffs.

Btw if they ever going to add deathmatch, please, don’t add rating. people just wanna have fun. Jump in, kill, and have fun.
