But on topic. I don’t think most mmo players care for an esport. Look at the most played MMO WoW. They tried to make it into an esport but people lacked interest.

How awesome would it be on a scale of 1-10 (10 being best) if you implemented Duels + 2 players versus 2 players?

Sorry for the newb question. Where have you seen that 2v2s are coming?

I know I might be alone in this but I think that the current situation is actually a lot better than you guys give it credit for. If there was a premade vs premade only, then people would just complain about wait times. And anyway if being in a premade is your thing after a couple games you’ll be fighting only other premades or solo q’d players who are just as good as your premade.

I think the problem lies elsewhere — Look at WoW there are 10 million players but 5v5 q times still take forever. I think the more reasonable solution would be to allow 2 players versus 2 players since it’s easier finding just 1 other person with similar experience and schedule + to aid in q time. It would also work very well in gw2 since there are no dedicated healers & most matches would be fast paced.

Invisible mmr is a good thing. Why? Everyone plays at the level they’re supposed to without being harassed by some guy who thinks a children’s video game is supposed to be a source of income.

As far as dueling + 2v2 goes I agree 100% that we need it. Dueling is nice because that way you can meet people to do arenas with, gain xp, just have fun.

It’s a lot of fun. I just came back to gw2 and wasn’t interested in it that much until I started playing a rifle warrior. Now I’m having a blast in PvP. I can’t comment on high end competitions but it’s great for PUGs.

Only thing I would change is make kill shot easier to land but that might just be my build.

I just came back but I really need to learn how to deal with stealth and mesmer’s images. I wish there was a “target nearest enemy PLAYER” in the ui so I could instantly re target after they pop images. I can’t call anyone overpowered at the moment since I’m still new but those two classes are really frustrating to fight.

Dueling needs to happen for the community of a server. There should be dueling so I can gain xp, make new friends, find spvp partners etc.

I know you technically can do a 2v2 (# of players) match on a private server I just hope they support MMR, finding quick matches similar to tourneys, rewards. I would gladly pay for that.

I’m one of those “casual” or “new” players you speak of. I don’t mind losing to a better player just as long as I’m having fun and right now I’m having a blast.

I actually might be one of the few who sees the genius in PUG tourneys. I mean this way you don’t have to find a group with similar experience and schedule to get your competitive fix.

My only suggestion would be to add 1v1 and 2v2 (# of players) in tournament form as it is easier making that step from pug tourneys to organized when you only need 1 other player with similar experience and schedule.

I know most will tell me to “Go play WoW” but not only are WoW players wierd, but I think 2v2 would work much better in this game as there are no dedicated healers and every class can cc, dps, heal effectively.

2v2 would be surprisingly fun in this game unlike others. Why? There’s no dedicated healing classes. Every class can dps, cc, and heal effectively to ensure a kill. It would be fast paced quick matches full of PvP goodness.

It would also make sense as it’s way easier finding 1 other player with similar skill and schedule instead of 5.

I would also like to point out that having a team of 5 is outdated. Even in WoW where there are 10 million players no one plays 5v5 (five players against five players). I feel that if gw2 provided at the minimum a 1v1 and 2v2 bracket (# of players vs # of players) they would find higher participation since it’s easier to find just one other player with similar experience and schedule as yours. Plus it would be fun.

Hello good sir,

I enjoy the game you have created. I would love to see matched 1v1/2v2/3v3 arenas. Please do this. Much appreciated. I will be waiting patiently.

EDIT: I mean 1v1 as in the amount of people playing against each other. At least allow duels.
Regards,

I would love to be able to duel. Perhaps allow dueling in a zone next to mists where players come to gain experience, make friends, enemies, find spvp partners. This will be the bread and butter of a server’s spvp community. Plus I REALLY enjoy taking breaks from PvP and just duel 1v1.

Another thing I’d love to see is matchmaking 1v1/2v2 arenas.

Also add support for a xbox controller. What then? Sell this game on steam. I feel like Anet made a huge mistake by not being on the steam winter sale.

I’m new to this game/forums so apologies if this topic has been brought up.

Wow, how long have you been playing mmos or engineer? I ask because that looked very hard to pull off. Not just your strats like applying conditions or even saving elixir for downed state but the aim of the grenades were spot on.

I feel very confused when I log into gw2.. guess I have a lot to learn.

Nice guide! I messed around with several classes never liking any of them. I tried engineer several times even in beta but didn’t really get the hang of it either. Wasn’t until I got into kits that this class started being an absolute blast in PvP. Engineers are definitely the hardest class to learn but the most rewarding.

PvP by itself is fun, sure. But I agree that some type of progression is needed and should reward skill but at the same time not punish “bad” players.
