Guild Wars 2

I have several friends who are all mostly casual players but like to improve and enjoy some combat versus other players. When we feel like battling other players, we often just roam around in WvW. But right now, it’s tricky to get good 2v2 or 3v3 fights in our borderlands.

I think the best option for us to improve, have fun doing it, and not make a mess out of someone’s pvp matchups are either buying our own custom arena for 200 gold or all joining the same guild and using the guild hall arena. Are there other good options?

Thx very much!

why don’t you just queue together in unranked/hotjoin?

You can search some empty server, or join a guild with an arena

While none of us are great at pvp, there’s probably a fair spread between us (maybe rank 30 to rank 0 ).

Since I have a bit more experience than most of them, I was kind of hoping to do some fights, record video of them, and then review them. For me, pvp is pretty hectic, so it’s a little hard to stop and say “here I knew you had used your stunbreak, so I did this”

And I hate screwing up other people’s matches – though I guess most people don’t mind in unranked

@krysard I’ve never really played much in the custom arenas. Can you tell if one of them is empty and just available to use? Thx!

You can go to the server list, and search for an empty server by rolling down (it appears as x/20, being the full servers at the top of the list). If the arena is named “Server 01-99” is an Arenanet arena, so public for everyone, while if it has his own name is the arena of someone and so maybe locked or with different rules

Thx very much for the help!

We’ll try out one of those empty servers
