Guild Wars 2

it has its fans but i think the general consensus is that it’s a gimmick map

Why do we still have Skyhammer?

do ranked?

Got any stats for your general consensus? My experience is that it gets picked almost every time it shows up…

The real question is, why doesn’t it have its own queue yet?

I agree, courtyard should have an opt out. It’s best for specific classes and builds.

I miss stronghold beta weekends; no courtyard.

Its deathmatch, deathmatch is not a gimmick. Maps like skyhammer are far more gimmicky.

I love courtyard!

Courtyard should have his own queue, honestly i don’t see any reasons why people who don’t want to play tdm are forced to play tdm if the map is chosen.

Same like people Who want to play only tdm.

Basically is the same issue stronghold had before anet (smart move ) decided to split the queues.

I think OP should change the title to….
Why we want more courtyard….

I like deathmatch but am not a fan of courtyard. To avoid it, play ranked though. But ANet, when we get Stronghold, please add more DM maps and add a queue for DM, Conquest and SH.

TDM can be a big hit if it was done right.

• Courtyard – same game mode that can be voted on.
• Courtyard – best out of 3 mini rounds – 5 minute time limit – lowest health loses
• 2v2 if duo queued – Implement rounds and a 5m time limit – lowest health loses

The way 2v2 can works is, matchmaking will take 10 players inside the queue as usual. If 2v2 game mode is voted/picked then it will split the 10 players into individual 2v2, 2v2, 2v2, on their own separate maps.
If Anet wants to take this a step further, it could be Red vs Blue vs Green (team vs team vs team) on the same map and they all have to stomp to get points.

So its only people who play some kind of tanky/cele/bunker builds that don’t like this map?

Hey dont put us in there, courtyard is my favorite map and i run staff ele and zerk warrior most of the time when it isnt a daily. Easily the most fun map to me since you can do it all. You can range dps, you can bunk in the mid of there zergs if they dont spread out, heck today i ran my trap ranger in there and they just sat in there little 5 man pack and ate my trap damage. Its almost like people brains shut off when they see death match.

No, its pve players who dont like pvp to begin with who cant get their dailies or reward track done that dont like this map. This is why foefire (the pve map) is the most popular map for both trashpugs and pug stomping pre-mades.

All I know is that as someone just trying to get in to PvP, I don’t shudder with revulsion when it chooses courtyard the way I do when Battle of Kyhlo gets chosen. I say that as someone who’s been pretty purely PvE focused since release.

Pretty sure Foefire is the most popular map period primarily because of the massive size of the Graveyard point drastically weakening decap builds and basically forcing teamfighting to secure the point.

No, those builds are the most successful on Courtyard. It’s the damage builds which hate because everyone blobs and spams and it’s so easy to die to cleave.
