Guild Wars 2

After novelty wears off, zerg-style PvP gets annoying, and that’s what we have in 8×8 sPvP. We need either bigger maps or smaller teams. Balanced teams, too. Right now it’s either 8×8 mindless zerg of an empty server with 1×1. 2×2, or at most 3×3 if you hit “play it now”. Which makes 2 v 3 etc very unbalanced. And no, I don’t want to have to play tourney style pvp either.

I think this might have some validity. Not just because zerging can be abit annoying but moreso because I personally think it could help some of the balancing outcry we see. That being said I’m not sure what the right “number” should be. I think maybe 7 v 7 or 6 v 6 would be a good one. I think 5 v 5 might be aliitle small for pick up games. Now I could be terribly wrong on this but I do agree, that often times a lot of the games feel a little “crowded” but this isn’t the case in every game. Mainly Capricorn.

I don’t think its the numbers. I’ve played 8v8 in other games and it doesn’t feel nearly so zergy as this. 5v5 doesn’t feel much less zergy to me, either. I really think its because of the way damage is so insane in this game that time to kill shrinks almost exponentially with each additional player, so facing a group coming at you just feels incredibly zergy.
