Guild Wars 2

There are many potentially good builds in the gw2 system.Perhaps more than what you ll ever need.The only thing that prevents them from reaching the surface is…the game mode

I agree with this sentiment. Although I still prefer GW1 pvp for many reasons, I think some serious thought needs to be put into the game modes. GW1 had many options for PvP that were all satisfying in their own regard. Between TA, 1 v 1, HA and GvG there were so many options to fit the mood of what I wanted out of PvP at any given time.

In GW2 the point capture maps or WvW just feels lacking. I find the game to be much more about zerg and run than any real thought put into the play style. The lack of healing just makes it a “my zerg party looks bigger, time to go in” mentality. You basically have the small zerg map or the big zerg map…

I really tried to like this PvP out of my fondness for GW1, but I just cant seem to get into it. I dont feel any desire the way I did in GW1 to get into the serious PvP community. I really hope the devs put some time and effort into rethinking the game modes to suit the different moods of PvP style. GW1 captured the feeling of glory and rewards out of Heores Ascent and GvG. Fun and experimentation out of TA and 1 v 1. In GW1 people cared about top teams and builds and the community was vibrant. I just dont get that feeling this time around.

I will say, I enjoy the PvE much more, but I really was hoping for more out of PvP based on this franchise.
