This needs to happen.

This is beautiful comment and its getting confused reacts. This post is literally just offering ideas to put life blood into the mode. in the game and people are confused by it... Just so were clear this is why our mode ate itself.

My brother - Amen. 5v5 is from an E-sports focused era that frankly isn't relevant. I would love to see deathmatch - and also with bigger maps. Death match only but in maps life temple. No Nodes. Would make for a wild experience.

Okay lol. Ill come on and admit when I over did it. I do agree that WvW even by itself beats out CM strikes and Raiding weekly. Thats all I am trying to say. I love pvp and got a bit carried away. Right - I dont think we should champion the demise of this game. Selfishly because I havent found anything that even comes close to it combat wise.

Amen brother - Top 10 favorite statements made on the forums right here.

So you think good business is to launch the game with no pvp? Want to make sure I understand this statement.

This is literally a post about how people here just play pvp. Because you declare something doesnt make it true. WvW+sPvP (a lot of the same people) is a larger number than PvE I would guess. If you removed PvP all together from the game you would kill your own game. So what is your point?

Amen Brother. I'll ask you though - how aware of this do you think they are? I think its not even the same dev team. Also regarding the other guys comments about the engine - this was a new engine for GW2 versus GW1 when it launched. I remember thinking how beautiful the game was in 2012. Truely amazing. However - they dont have all the proper access to the engine from the original devs - which is why "spaghetti code" is constantly referenced. So a new engine would be mandatory to upkeep with graphical expectations of the generation and be able to have full access to the game their developing. As I understand it they dont have that as it stands with GW2. I could be wrong - this was heresy I was told. So I have no factual basis for this.

Bro chill out on the pvp hate. 4 Posts in a row. We get it. You like to pve. Here's the thing though Andy - by asking for a 1/3 of the game to be forgotten you're ruining the same game you claim to love. Also FYI GW2 was designed as a PvP Centric game. "pvP gEts wHAt it dEseRVes"

PvE people for some reason are hard up on denying PvP is a thing. Like PvP deniers or something. PvP is the most active mode in video games. Especially PC. Spvp is definitely played. Its all I play too. Like him. This forum is one of the more active forums on here as well. Also 2 out 3 game pillars involve some form of pvp in this game. WvW and Spvp make up 2/3s of the game. Pve being the other third. Removing PvP, ignoring it, or pretending like its somehow less important than PvE is a terrible business model. Its why GW2 has struggled some. They alienated 2/3 of their player base for awhile.

Bro this spoke to my soul - I have always HATED THIS about this game. It feels like were on a console. Its HORRIBLE. My Sky scale shouldnt hit an invisable wall where I am forced into a portal to change maps or use a WP. I want to be able to fly from 1 side of the map to other. Continents should be traveled too. Remove the way point system. Create a recall system like ESO if its needed. Is this real?

I have never understood this take. All the biggest games in the world are pvp based. And its not even close. MMOs are no different - its just not handled well long term. They tend to die off quickly as a result. FYI - Guild Wars 2 was launched an a Primary PvP Game.

@RedMckenzie.8751 I clipped the best advice from this post. Do what they're saying here. Combine it. Play what you are used to playing and do it in unranked. Adjust your build to a low intensity pvp build instead of the PvE Build you're likely running. Focus on your rotations and map awareness - objectives in maps can swing matches instantly. Watch this quick video as an intro - Blindside did a REALLY good job making this information short an informative. Apparently hes known as Shadowfall now. Either way heres the link ---> Learn these things: Movement and Map Match ups and Engagements - Your team fights, whats favorable and whats not Almost more importantly - Learn when to disengage and what match ups not to take. I.E. Mesmer into Thief when you're new to pvp for a 1v1. DM me if u want more help. Good luck - Dont let the rage heads get you - they're just sad their favorite game gets ignored.

I agree Saiyan - Anet fumbled the opportunity to have THE PVP SCENE cornered. They combined MOBA and MMO combat and honestly they did it beautifully. I posted awhile a back a long breakdown of all their mistakes chronologically. In short though, yeah Anet messed up bad. Our community does NOT help themselves at all though. People would rather be comfortable than good and want their spec to be an answer for everything. It doesnt work that way.

This community cannibalized itself.

I dont know if you know this but..... you're on the forums. Screeching I might add. The current META is irrelevant when it comes to CMC and what he MAINS. Its not obscure. That discord made the balancing decisions in this game for years. See my previous post about "you not knowing doesnt mean its not true." CMC the ele main was in that discord. For someone who doesnt care - man you sure care. That hasn't happened since signet CATA - the entire point of my original post. Thank you for proving my point. CMC got a little carried away and we ended up with that. Also.......... setting the bar at 5-6 PER GAME is nonsensical. It could just be 4 per game, on average two per team. That would demonstrate a lopsided representation of the class/profession. It's hilarious to me though that your hyperbolic version of it actually happaned with Ele because of CMC though - while you continue to say CMC is not an ele main. This is the sPvP forum - my posts here are in reference to sPvP This is the sPvP forum - my posts here are in reference to sPvP This is the sPvP forum - my posts here are in reference to sPvP My original post was not referencing the current META my dude - it was your inaccurate assertion that CMC mains a guardian - and that you used that inaccurate assertion as the basis for your nonsense. Lot of hyperbole for someone who keeps insisting they dont care. Take your own advice.

Amen

All the words you just typed dont change that CMC has been an Ele MAIN for a long time. Of course he likely plays other professions but if you've been anywhere near the top of the pvp spectrum in this game you will know that he is an ele main. Its common knowledge. Just because you dont know it - dosnt mean it isnt true.

Yes - he is absolutely an ele main. Its well known, has been for years, and its the reason for the ups and downs with ele. I.E. Signet CATA.

Its not propaganda buddy. He plays with other players in this game and when he does he uses Ele. Hes been an ele main for a long time. He talks about it on stream, and in discord. What are you on about? CMC being an ele main is fairly common knowledge.

CMC is an ele main.

@Deadmoose.6594 Welcome back Moosey - Good to see you buddy. @suffish.4150 Earning anything "of the Arena" is a show of skill and consistency during a three-month period. Especially if you know you did not win trade for it and you fought for it. Win Traders will try to farm down ur rank with cheese throughout the season espeially the last day before closing of the boards. So skill is definitely shown - now could people have bought them? Sure and a lot have. So is true for any title or anything in the game though tbh. True Dragon rank is in line with what dragon rank would have been if they hadn't reduced exp margins for spvp rank after vanilla. So it makes sense and I like it. Most of us would already have that though. What I am trying to say is there are plenty of titles that already do what you asking and the new additions address some gaps from before - way to late but here we are. What I would like more time spent on is some actual stuff introduced to the mode. Even if its just Raid (not revenge) on Capricorn - the original beach map for unranked just for fun. Would be so cool to see that again. Its minimal effort too.

Its a signature not a request I am making - Confused reacts are given out here like candy and often with no follow up. Its the forum DeFacto "I dont agree with this post" emote. However - with the disagreement rarely is there ever dialogue shared. I just assume that if all you can do is react with a confused emote and not say anything then you dont grasp the discussion material enough to contribute. I am making fun of people who behave this way. Did you think I was manually typeing that out with every post? Your response suggests that may be the case - I am asking genuinely.

Are you throwing shade at my posts?

You made that up. This is complete BS and just profession hate lmfao. Ranger, Thief. Necro, Ele, played in WvW more than WB.
