Yes. That’s all that needs to be said.
This is an idea I kinda took from playing 3v3 pick up basketball. The idea is, after each PvP match, the winning team sticks together for another match and the losing team is kicked off the “court” (server in this case). Then a new team of 5 steps up and tries to take away the coveted spot as king of the court from the winning team.
Why would anyone want to stay as king of the court? Well as your win streak gets longer and longer, the rewards would get better and better. 1 win is some glory, rank points, and a chest. 3 wins and the glory, rank, and chest level gets ramped up. 5 wins…10 wins…. etc. And at the end of the week, the reward could go out to the team with the longest win streak by showing it on the leaderboards and rewarding the record holders with a title, and maybe a crown head piece or something like that that they could wear in PvP and PvE for a week. And next week, the longest streak would be reset and teams would fight all over again for the longest streak!
I think it’d be so interesting to see how teams strategize and adapt to the challenges. And show it off too! Let people spectate games as they watch a team absolutely killing it as they get those 3, 5, heck maybe even 10 or 15 win streaks. People would watch and learn and strategize and think of ways to beat that unbeatable team.
There’s so many variations you could do with it as well. You could make it the standard capture the points mode it is now, or make it team deatch match, or have three teams compete to be king of the court. Imagine the dynamics of teams double teaming a particularly dominant team. The possibilities are endless.
Let players name their teams. Giving a team a name gives them identity, and makes it all the more easy to identify with your team and strive to do better and make your team a presence in PvP. The PvP community would all be astir. It gives PvP players something to work towards rather than just personal rank or leaderboards or waiting for big tournaments to come up (so excited to watch the one coming up in August). It’ll give teams a chance to practice for official tournaments as well. As of now, teams of 5 just kinda get paired up with another team of 5 that could be a group of organized friends, people soloing, or a hardcore group of competitive gamers. It’s the luck of the draw. Adding a mode like those would further separate the spread of game modes for players. Hot join for someone looking for some quick PvP action. Tournament for someone looking for ranked games solo or with a group of friends. And a more hardcore mode like king of the courts for an organized team of 5 looking to hone their skills against other 5 man teams in order to practice for tournaments or to leave their marks on the leaderboards.

Everyone loves my wood.
The pale tree has blessed you with a sturdy branch then my friend.
I dunno, I find them quite stem-ulating. I hate to leave you in a larch here, but I’m afraid I must branch off in a new direction. We should cultivate some new puns to add in to the game. There’s plenty of fertile ground for it. And I’m going to just stop right there before I dig myself any deeper. [/shot]
This…. is beautiful.
But on a serious note, I do think there’s quite a lot of that kind of humor in the game, but that’s just part of Tyria’s charm. Would I complain if all the puns were removed and replaced with more serious content? Not necessarily, but I wouldn’t really want to advocate that either. I feel like the game has a nice balance of humor such that it reinforces the dramatic elements without taking too much away from them. That said, the sylvari do tend to be the worst offenders in the puns department. Though the norn can be quite unbearable as well. [/shot]
Absolutely. I love it when the writers put a little bit of humor and atmosphere into the game. I love those moments when you’re strolling around and you pass by an npc and it just makes you laugh a little at what they say. Being able to interject a bit of humor into a serious moment in a story is just one way a writer can put his own little flavor onto an otherwise very sullen, serious moment.
… are tired of being the root of bad plant puns?
And they have sex too
Yeah they do. As seen by the “fruits” of their labor.
Dear Tyria,
I was laying out photosynthesizing and getting my Kreb’s cycle going the other day and some smart aleck Asuran walks by and thinks it’d befunny to tease me while eating his bowl of salad.
“Oh look at this. It’s so delicious. I’m eating my salad and you’re eating sunlight. Sucks to be you. Blah. Blah. Blah.”
So what do I do? I stand up. Grab the bowl of salad out of his hands. And munch real slow on a particularly juicy looking piece of tomato. He looks at me horrified and in disbelief.
“What are you? A cannibal??”
Just to prove my point further, I snatch the plate of meatballs from the wide mouthed smart As-uran and slowly eat one, licking the sauce of my lips afterwards.
“Listen you over-sized talking bunny rabbit, I’m a flipping omnivore. /wiki it sometime. But thanks for the +20% chance of swiftness and +30 toughness.”
And waypoint myself off to the Grove. Geez. Where did he graduate from? The College of Synergetics?
Well anyways, sorry if it seems like I woke up on the wrong side of the pod, but I digress. I guess what I’m trying to say is that theres a stereotype that we don’t eat meat or vegetables. I get it all the time:
“Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.”
“No problem man. Go right on ahead and eat that apple. Its not a problem. I love a good apple pie and steak here and there just like you guys. "
I don’t know where this stereotype stems from, but I’m here to nip it at the root. I mean don’t get me wrong, nothing gets me going like getting the good old chlorophyll cells excited, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a burger or salad sometime. Except olives. Those things are disgusting. But anyways, don’t worry about what you eat in front of us. We don’t mind. But would it kill you to stay out of our sun sometime? Yeah I’m talking to you, you lumbering 9 foot tall Norn oaf. Go block that guys sun. Well that Leaves it at that. Thanks for listening to this Sylvari’s rant.
Sincerely,
A Sylvari that loves a good burger too
