Stew Commander.1983 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Hi, new player here. I've been playing for about a month and a half and have a quick question. Are there any openworld pvp maps? I'm not talking about wvw or spvp but more like regular maps with all kinds of activities where you could be attacked by other players at any time. Just to clarify, I enjoy wvw, but it feels a bit sterile to me, more like an exhibition ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 No. No open world PvP. There already exists a PvP mode. No need to put it in open world. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Commander.1983 Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 Why not? Adding it could really spice up the game. Even if it's not for everyone, they could make it an option for guilds at war. It could be a lot of fun. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinurak.5307 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 There is WvW for that. 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batel.9206 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 NO. Please, no. No open-world PvP. I hated it in SWTOR and I'd hate it here too. Leave the PvP to the maps where it belongs. You have entire game modes dedicated to PvP/map-wide PvP in WvW. That is enough. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is the Guild Hall PVP arena if build and the other is the Arborstone arena. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guild_Arena https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Arborstone_Arena Edited September 3 by Vancho.8750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endo.1652 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Honestly having an open world pvp map or 2 would be fun except everyone loves to zerg. I can see how that would turn unfun very fast once people caught on. Edited September 3 by Endo.1652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Commander.1983 Posted September 3 Author Share Posted September 3 (edited) Honestly, I don't see how adding such a map would be harmful. Introduce the map with some decent, but not overly generous, rewards. Ensure it doesn't interfere with any key PvE activities, and then observe if players are drawn to it. I have deep respect for the GW2 community. I'm not trying to criticize anyone; I just want to express what I feel is missing as a new player.

Don’t worry, the PvE community are always hostile when it comes to suggestions of PvP of any sort in the open world.  You heard them - we have WvW - what’s that? You don’t like playing in the same maps for over ten years while PvE receives endless maps that are then promptly forgotten about like empty burger wrappers? Too bad -some of these players would press a button to delete competitive modes entirely I’m sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They kind of tried this with Edge of the Mists...it's currently a barren wasteland. It's a fundamental GW2 thing, you either structure an activity into small groups (sPvP, Dungeons, Fractals) or large ones (Open World Metas, Raids, WvW)--there is no in-between.  So that would rule out any instanced map other than what we have. The other options is PK areas in actual PvE, and oh my would that cause a nuclear explosion with the actual PvE crowd, as for most of them even grinding out a Gift of Battle is far too much. 25 minutes ago, Last Crab.6054 said: I don't think you have ever added anything productive to any pvp discussion.

arazoth.7290 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Add a button like there is in WoW to turn turn openworld pvp on, everyone who has it on can attack the other. Now for balancing => once this is turned on, it instantly goes how your skills are balanced in WvW. Otherwise there will be complains about stuff being too OP and pve would get unnecessary nerfs. It would make openworld pve harder npcs ect, but lets be honest whoever turns this on shouldn't go hardcore pve with it, the purpose is openworld pvp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinurak.5307 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Please no, i dont need to get spammed by salty kittens to duel them. please keep pvp and pve seperate. OWpvp is only fun to gankers, and trolls who want to annoy others. if you want something like OWpvp we have a whole mode for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atoclone.4810 Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 If I recall right they couldn't work out a way to enable open world dualing, something to do with flagging another player as a foe. If that's the case then regardless of whether it's a good idea or not it's just not technically possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
