Guild Wars 2

Hands down GW1 is the best PvP “MMO” (they did not want to call GW1 an MMO) I have ever seen.

Then we have the “burden of knowledge”, I personally prefer remembering skills over a cluster kitten of animations. Maybe I am too old for the twitch GW2 chaos happening all over the place when a 3v3 occurs.

But game play aside. Conquest is kitten, and I think every player agrees on that. I cannot understand why we still do not have a TA? Why do we not have a HA?

You guys had such a kitten good PvP in GW1 and in your sequel you dumb it down and go for a three point king of the hill.. I just do not get it. How many hours did we GW1 PvPers put into your PvP modes? I know I put 2k++ alone in PvP.

Yes, it was hard to get into another PvP mode sort of, but does that justify one single PvP mode in your next game?

I think if you had made HA 2.0 PvP in this game would of been way more popular. I have no idea why this has not been implemented.

Why no 5v5 death matches? Just add a ladder, some rewards a few emotes/armor or skins and a ladder? You would then have a community and groups of people and guilds.

But no, we are stuck with 3 point capture maps which is no fun at all IMO. And seemingly the interest in PvP in all my GW1 PvP friends no longer plays GW2. So something must have gone wrong some where…

I might sound angry, and I am to an degree but how hard can it be to make some ladders with different game modes? Your current game mode does not work and is not any sorts of fun.

And for the love of “insert X god” stop trying to cater to E sports, your game will never be e sports friendly. It is way to chaotic. Make fun PvP modes, you will never be able to compete with other real e sports.

Im GW1 Veteran too, i loved it till death and put many many more hours than 2k into pvp. Its indeed some of the best gameplay concepts ive ever seen, but i have to strongly recommend to give GW2 PvP a bigger try. Its great as well, just in a different style that you need to get used to.

And IMO, capture maps is simply what fits this game best. Deathmatch just dont work in here, there needs to be some tactical component that forces the teams to split, otherwise it will result in a braindead zergfight, what isnt much exciting. Learn to rotate properbly, perfect your character handling and you will have lots of fun.

And honestly, its not so different to GW1 GvG Byob playstyle, even coordinated split builds felt pretty similar(forcing your opponents to split, creating majorities and stuff). Theres just not that big team sustain due to a backline/lots of rezz skills and those wear down fights, its simply much more fast paced.

Whatever the playstyle, I want Guild Wars.. as in GVG to make a return.
It’s the games namesake, and for any pvp’er in GW1 it was your bread and butter.
Bring back HA. Bring back Guild vs Guild.

FA would be nice tbh
