Tho they could still remove unranked and add 1vs1/2vs2/3vs3 in a weekly changing rotation 

This needs to happen.

Imo GW2 should just in general have way more pvp modes - why not just make 2v2 and 3v3 permanent as an unranked queue and give unranked season rewards as well? Maybe directly get progress for season rewards (at a lower pace maybe?) or copy-paste the chests without ranked specific drops such as the ascended shards of glory if Anet really wants to keep the "good" stuff locked behind ranked.
And FINALLY make GvG its own game mode... Poor guilds who have to set up their own fights in WvW.. Could be a generic 20v20 or 50v50 or whatever imo where you can sign up with your zerg, then also non-guilds can join or smaller guilds can team up with randoms to make fights slightly more even.

Idgaf about longer queue times due to the split queue at all either. The game mode is dead so queue times are not great anyway and even if the queue pops quickly it's a kitten match because the mm couldn't even form proper teams.. And Stronghold also exists and is played, we already have a working split queue so this argument was non-sense from the very beginning.

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.

you know what?  fk it!  lets go!

A meta balanced around Diffrent builds fighting eachother is alot more enjoyable for your average jimmy, compared to a balance that evolves around the ability of builds to hold tiny circles and rotate between them.

You know... better player wins the 1v1 type of thingy... and not the  " are you sidenoder?   no?  then you cant beat this sidenoder! And now run to the next circle and decap that, you filthy thief enjoyer" type of thing we got going on right now.

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.

brother come on lol
more than like, raiding or CM strikes? yeah probably, WvW alone most likely beats them on a weekly basis

but all PvE? surely you can't be serious

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.

i don't think it would truly kill it, but i do agree that it'd be a net loss, and i'm relatively confident GW3 will have some form of pvp in it
i also think they really should have added extra modes, even if ranked stayed only conquest, for 10v10s, capture the flag, that kinda stuff. i think it's pretty disappointing they gave up on em years ago

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.

That being said, PvP is a core part of any "living" game. It's a stopgap between content. It was literally "end game" for early GW2. Players evolve in ways NPCs (currently) don't and fights remain fresh longer. People naturally WANT to fight/compete against each other directly, not through PvE logs. I think it would be foolish to not include PvP in any new MMO.

I feel like the good business decision for mmos going forward would not include attempting to tame the ever shifting demands of a competitive playerbase and just ship a game people enjoy coming home after their job to play. I highly doubt GW3, if it is a separate stand alone entity, would be as welcoming to competitive players. 

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?

Anet definitely failed pvp, not the other way around. The potential was all there but they squandered it by not nurturing pvp and not iterating, and trying to force ESL to work before it was ready. Anet has this obsession with making things perfect or abandoning it all together. And because they gave up on pvp modes after HoT, the community shriveled up and moved on. 

The pop is low because of anet, not because the game or community is inherently bad. If they make pvp in Gw3 (and I think they should) they need to fully commit to that mode and nurture it with features and customization, as well as balance. Not just throw the baby out with the bath water if it isn't working out.

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.

PvP is irredeemable, not Guild Wars 2. Making a sequel now would solve nothing. And, while this is my uninformed opinion, relying on another company's game engine is not a good idea in the long term. Example : Unity.

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.

Here is the thing, just because you play pvp all day it doesn't mean most of the playerbase does. We are a tiny minority in arenanet's eyes. Sure we deserve more content, but to them it is not profitable or in their best interest for the game to provide major content drops for pvp

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.

But I don't think the audience that mmos garner now are or will ever be interested in PvP, the amount of people participating in it is a very low percentage of the playerbases.

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.

Look for low intensity builds

It's more important you learn what rotations are, map mechanics, and the actual maps themselves.

@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:

1. Movement and Map
2. Match ups and Engagements - Your team fights, whats favorable and whats not
3. 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. 
4. 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.

Let's not also pretend that Anet didn't shoot themselves in the foot when it comes to adding anything new to PvP. Stronghold was the largest resource expenditure in PvP and it was meant to be the new flagship gamemode, but it failed horrifically. Followed by Courtyard and Spirit Watch maps that were made but not added to Ranked.

At the end of the day Anet is a business. If they feel new additions doesn't retain players in pvp, they'll simply not do it. We're fortunate to even have balance patches at all lol.

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.

It feels like they do care, but are terrified of sticking their neck out -too- far because we got a lot of hatchet wielding players here ready to critique.

It took like 10 years for it to get this bad.  It might take a while to undo all the knots of dev philosophy, workplace politics, and player grievances before we get like a solid conversation cadence.

I'm not saying I agree with their methods just that its reasonable to expect handling like this as a possibility.

This community cannibalized itself.

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.

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.

"Let's give more titles to the only players who are already able to get the titles."

 

Yeah, thanks but no.

@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.

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.
