Guild Wars 2

First of let me say that I do not gvg.

This idea is mostly a bandaid measure that could have several benefits. The idea is to add a portal/npc in the spvp heart of the mists. This would lead to a global menu of rooms.

Each room would essentially be a large Valley maybe with a small Lake and a stream running thru it. A handful of rock formations and boilers to give a little flavor.

These rooms would also have a high player limit. And would also put everyone on the same side when entering but a simple /jointeamblue or /jointeamred would allow you to set up teams easily.

The main idea is to have these serve as multifunction rooms. If a Guild wants to practice wvw concepts they could head to these rooms or as a rally point for guild activities. Or GvG guilds could use this vs heading into the south of WvW borderlands and potentially hindering their side on that map. They also wouldn’t have to worry about bloodlust or any other buff in wvw affecting the fights. Similarly duelers could go here and tag up and fight without worrying about match timers or others joining the mapthat are looking to spvp normally.

Like I said this is mostly a shortterm fix that would allow these other playstyles that currently don’t have an official place yet in the game a place to play without imposing on a section of the game that isn’t balanced with that in mind. To me it seems like overall it wouldn’t be that drastic of a setup requirement. A basic random generic valley could be built quicker than specific role maps. You then assign one to each server(ie Blackgate Proving Grounds) and create a menu to travel to that particular map. Naming after each server is more to allow organizers and reputation of what happens where when to be easier and doesn’t really require them to be on that server.

This would imo help alleviate the complaints in the forum when a change to one party ofthe game affects one of the playstyles that is not officially supported yet. It gives them a pplace while allowing the devs time to create the systems and maps that things like gvg and dueling deserve.

So please chime in and support the adding of a series of multipurpose rooms hopefully in the near future. There is plenty they could be used for and realitivly small start up compared to building full gvg or other systems.
