Guild Wars 2

I hope its not too late to request!

let us know when you’ve stopped sending out invites, i’ve been refreshing my browser more for this than i did for my pax tickets!

2008 was my first PAX, I went just for GW. Been to every PAX since just for GW. I would love to experience this party!

Well in gw1 the polymock pieces were separate from minis so it’s unlikely that they would use minis as polymock pieces. Anyway if they did, using mini’s as heros would make minis a lot more popular by adding a use to them, and really they wouldnt have to balance every single mini on day one, they could slowly be rolled out as heros so maybe 8-12 would be useable on day one then slowly expand, or maybe even just toss minis into categories so warrior type minis all have the same skills. And there wouldn’t need to be all new models made as the mini’s already exist. Again though polymock pieces were separate from minis in gw1…
And yes the gw1 arena was more like a poke battle, but why not expand on the idea. The Polymock arenas are already in the game, why not just expand the idea to include the MOBA style game type that a lot of people have been asking for?

As far as monetizing it there are a lot of great examples of MOBA’s with good cash shops and by adding this into the polymock arena you can implement hero unlocks and other cash shop items just like any other MOBA without infringing or alienating current players or the current feeling of the game.

And I’m just gona through this out there but how awesome would it be to have a SAB style Polymock MOBA map…?

Title kind of says it all, I’ve seen lots of talk about bringing MOBA style map to PvP but I don’t think that using Thief/Ele/War/ect provides enough hero variety and really why be limited when in a Polymock Arena you could use mini’s or just create non mini Polymock pieces.

I also think bringing a MOBA type arena to say Polymock would have a much broader appeal to the GW2 population as appose to just creating something with in the current PvP environment.

Also by taking using Polymock you can really mirror existing MOBA’s cash shops with hero/skill unlocks and what not that would not feel like an adding to the current grind that a PvP only toon would have to do.

This would really kill two birds with one stone as well – give us Polymock and MOBA game type.
