New Game modes, new content, Devs please read.

[DoLoR.7568]

Hi Devs, and people, I have been discussing this issue for a while with people and my guild and we come to realization that we need more pvp content! We need new maps, and new modes! Maybe a battleground which is based on pvp not like WvW. Conquest is nice don’t get me wrong, but for example in ranked, teams aren’t always fair. Sometimes teams are unbalanced, sometimes you lose because the other team has a thief or better mobility, sometimes you lose because you have an afk/bot (which happens a lot) and overall it creates frustration! Now how this can be fixed. If you add different modes such as Deathmatch but maybe without downed state, if someone dies that’s it, (no resurrection) that way even if you play 1v3 and you know what you doing, you are able to beat all of them. If its 3v1 and you kill one player, one of the other players will res him back up so your effort then becomes pointless. (You could make that optional before the game starts and see how it goes). Another thing is that maybe the punishments for afk/botting/ game manipulating should be more rough that way we mitigate the issue.?How about the option of 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 or even 15v15 vs a boss pvp battle. If you add the option of 3v3 for example, people can organize parties with friends and play ranked without having to play with bots or afkers.(New Maps) I see a lot of people utilizing the public pvp arena in the mist. How about creating a whole map like a battleground so we can enjoy a bigger map like all the other modes (Pve, Wvw). Please don’t compare a battleground to Wvw because Wvw is mostly 100vs100vs100. Here im talking about smaller squads, or even 1v1 and maybe have different objectives or missions in those maps. I personally think that Gw2 is a great game but we need more pvp content! Pve content gets updated and freshed up all the time, where in pvp we stuck with the same few maps that we have to be frustrated about. Make pvp fun! Thanks for taking the time and reading my post.

are we even sure that pvp gets any work done on it outside of 'balance' changes?

I doubt the developers are reading the forums.And I disagree with the need for more PvP content.The PvP playerbase already is too small to reasonably sustain the two existing modes, I don't want it to get spread over more modes.I strongly doubt more PvP modes would attract enough people to justify the addition.

[DoLoR.7568]

Yeah but you have to find a way to fix bots/ afkers, and imbalanced teams. If the other team has a good thief you are screwed. You lost the game. Since its pvp it should be more focused on player kills and not just capturing. They can do deathmatch, and have a cap point like the bell for extra points, for me that would make more sense

I only like gw2 for its pvp and i do not play anyother game mode.However, i havnt played gw2 in a good 3 months at least, becuase im am done with 8 years of the same old conquest. I do not like 5v5 circle questing. If you played it since year one like i have it will be frustrating to the max. Mainly because of the lack of support, recognition, and development from the devs.If you want a small dwindleing population keep a single game mode and never expand and diversify. This is what is killing pvp for me.

[DoLoR.7568]

Totally agree man. After a while it gets boring! How many times you gonna play the same mode, same map, over and over again?

[Apokriphos.7042]

Your battleground idea is basically a roamer or small group's life in WvW. Your pantomime that pvp 'balance' would be better then 100v100 etc falls on deaf ears. Even if you had 5 grps of 5 vs off, a grp of 5 would break off to help ooc allies, some would stealth and use enemies as shields, run grps into other grps, and such. It sounds like an interesting mode but is far closer to wvw then pvp.

Gw1 had so many interesting competitive modes. It would be nice to look there for inspiration.

I got bored from Death Match after one round to me.I even opt to do unranked instead of Death Match for the dailies, when it has its seasons.

Stronghold was a bore me from the get-go, too.

[DoLoR.7568]

They need to add deathmatch, add the option of 2vw or 3v3 and add new maps or battleground with missions or events, or like a daily boss or something that you got to fight against other groups for the boss

New exciting game modes are a pretty good way to drive population back to PvP.Though doesnt mean that will last I guess.

Im not sure game needs more modes, i mean dota and lol are mainly one map played over and over and ppl dont want more modes

Game needs what they told they'd do, more frequent patches and prolly an AI mode for new comers

Except a game like LoL releases a new champion every month or two... Not too mention the entire game was basically designed for solo queue in mind. GW2 PvP on the other hand was designed for coordinated team play and only switched to solo q leaderboards well after their original design failed. Not a good comparison.

More game modes would have helped sustain GW2 PvP way back when their esport attempt failed ... Had they fully embraced the casual player (like they have in every other aspect of their title). Probably too late now. They went the "go down with the ship" route.

HOWEVER more frequent patches would be fantastic.

[DoLoR.7568]

Yeah comparinf Gw2 to lol or dota totally wrong, its bot the same at all. Gw2 pvp is already too limited by having to play only in maps in the mist, the problem here is also that they don’t update it! There is a lot of cool things they can do including better balances. Like i said earlier gw2 have new pve content all the time, but pvp not really. They need to focus in evert aspect of the game because the community is not just pve players. And why be limited to the same maps same modes over and over again? Do you think that’s good? I think they need to stop thinking what are the things that only makes them money such as skins and the gem store, and improve the gamestyle, make it more interesting, because trust me the more fun it is, the more people gonna play, therefore more people gonna buy!
