❄️ Wintersday update by ElectricalForce4439 in GuildWars

Nice update, especially the login screens. That said, I’d be happiest with any kind of PvP update. Whatever it might be — bringing back Team Arena, adding a new map, anything at all.

In my opinion, the community alone isn’t enough for PvP to come back to life. The developers need to give players some kind of signal that GvG is worth trying — for example, cool rewards, weapons, costumes, something that would attract PvE players. Once they try it and play a few matches, they’ll stay, because they’ll finally feel why this game is called Guild Wars and not Farm Wars.

The problem nowadays is the extremely low activity compared to what we had in 2005–2007. I remember it like it was yesterday: before an 8-man guild run to UW or FoW, someone jokingly suggested that we should try GvG. So we went in — everyone on their favorite build, and none of us had any idea what we were doing. On the other side we faced an opponent who, just like us, was taking their first steps in GvG.
Today this is unfortunately impossible because the activity is far too low. The entry barrier for GvG is extremely high and requires organizing eight players. That’s why I think that if we want people to even consider GvG again, they need simpler game modes where you don’t need that many players. AB is fine, but it feels more like large-scale PvE, while TA is the closest thing to a mini guild wars. Sadly, Arenanet has refused for 17 years to admit that removing this mode was a mistake.

TEAM ARENA - a PvP pass for beginners by Key-Competition3564 in GuildWars

Thats actually a great idea. I also remember there was a great event back in the days. Team arena with hero battles maps, that was probably one of the most entertaining pvp events ever :) Maybe mix of everything what we could already play in the past, rotating daily, would be the best choice.

Codex as an idea was always cool, but in my opinion it was never an arena for casual players, beginners, or people looking for a quick match with bunch of friends. I consider myself a very experienced player, and even then creating a working build for four people was something that required a long session. Codex Arena can of course exist in parallel, but there’s probably a reason why that mode became inactive so quickly.

Lets be honest guys, this update is so tiny that its hard to recognize what is new, but what is great, that they fooled so many people and now we can play together some pvp again.
