Guild Wars 2

Slamz.5376:

Historically, in gaming, this problem has been solved in one of two ways:

A) Make things harder to capture. DAOC and POTBS did this. Attacking a keep was a big deal and defenders had ample time to hear about the attack (warnings were automatic) and show up to defend it.

B) Create a “lattice” — a system of front lines where attacks can happen. In order to attack, say, Pangloss, you must own one of the two towers that are beside it. If you lose the tower while attacking Pangloss, then you lose the ability to take Pangloss. Therefore to advance a front line it’s critical not just to attack but also to make sure they don’t cut off your attack but taking the base that’s giving you the attack route to begin with. Planetside and Battleground Europe did this.

I’m not sure which method is better. I kind of prefer the Planetside-style “lattice” idea but GW2 doesn’t do either of these.

Incidentally, most games start out like this, with no means of guiding the battle and they all eventually implement something because they all run into this same problem.

Pretty much this.

Pretty much all moot points.

The problem is that most of the bashing, criticizing, and hating I’ve read on this and other forums stems from personal opinions and outright ignorance. I don’t think I’ve read a single thread will any real critical points about the game that must be improved (gameplay-wise that is).

Sorry if made already.
But this game needs Arena PVP. 2v2, and 5v5 pvp with ranked and gear just like WOW. Yes like wow. Why? Because its the most intense pvp that really test your skill when you get a good match. PVP so far just isn’t rewarding imo and seems tacked on.

GIVE US ARENAS.

LOL. So you’re saying that GW2 PvP, a game built from the ground up for PvP, seems tacked on but WoW, the epitome of tacked-on PvP, is perfectly fine.

Please…
