Since it’s the only real pvp map, and it’s been disabled for a long time, I’m honestly wondering when the Courtyard will finally come back. I miss pvp

Countryard was really funny and, yes, the only real PvP map.

BUT to play that map players had to change they’re builds and adapt to that game mode that didn’t needed to hold points and survive to everything but needed to be able to kill something and spam AoE.
That made that map unwanted. First of all because was randomly selected instead of other Conquest maps, making players not ready to fight with they’re current builds, but also (and frequently more important) players didn’t wanted to adapt to a new game mode.

There’s only a chance to restore the Countryard: as ANet did for the Stronghold, make a specific Queue for that game mode only will make players able to chose it or ignore it. Add other maps with nothing more than few random buffs and a different morphology, making it more adapt for CC builds to kill enemies kicking them out of a cliff or forcing players more to a ranged or a melee fight with more or lesser obtacles in the area and larger or smaller areas. There’s a lot of different ways a map can be created for that game mode and make one for a deathmatch mode is easier than for a conquer mode or a stronghold mode.

There’s a chance to obtain back our countryard (and the deathmatch mode), but ANet have to make that game mode more interesting with more maps to play than only one and a dedicated queue.

They may need 4 more failed seasons of circle dancing maps. Maybe season 13 will have TDM and things will get better in ranked.

Sad how anet keeps forcing a failed map type on the players and calling it “ranked” play lol

lol’ing at thos who use broken builds and claim to be good since 2005.

I’m mainly bringing this up because they current maps favour bunker builds. And I’m sometimes guilty of it myself, but its only in a “can’t beat em, join em” sense.
(Tough builds to cap a point and just stand on it surviving everything)

I would love TDM to come back with it’s own separate queue!

I mostly play for the new Free-For-All arena in PvP lobby.

Courtyard was such a massive fail: Both teams have a staring contest until one gets antsy and commits, then usually loses. Then spam AoE and the winner spawn camps the loser.

The fact that almost no one players it in custom, nor that other small team deathmatch map is pretty good evidence that the TDM fans are a niche crowd.

Or there’s not enough promotion for TDM… I had no idea there was a TDM hotjoin room! Been smashing out the free for all arena for hours a day lmao

I thought it was just a custom map you could use with a few friends if you owned one of them arenas and not an easily accessible hotjoin server I could use at any time.

Any custom server can be open to the public.

I sincerely hope Courtyard never returns. That was truly ugly.

What a wholesome and sound argument.
By your logic they should just shut down pvp
