as a part of the sc2 community, i would assume that many of you are interested in gw2 esports. if youre looking for a competitive spvp (structured pvp) team, theres this post on reddit compiling a list of teams that are already gearing up for spvp and getting their foundation down. link. Call it shameless advertising but id love to play with other SC2ers since id really be more comfortable with you guys than other random mmo-ers. Me and a few other people from team liquid are at Infamy Gaming and im currently their competitive spvp captain.

ill edit my post if my advertising is too much; just trying to help people looking for a competitive team because i know i was having a hard time looking for one.

actions they have made. all the balanced organized pvp from GW have been taken out and replaced with a more chaotic form of pvp. this is them shouting from the rooftops they do not consider GW2 pvp oriented.

What does this even mean ?

This game will be pvp centric. All balance will be tailored towards PvP or they will have their own unique PvP numbers like GW1. The tiering system was more of a PVP decision than a PVE one.

I like how he goes from "they clearly stated they don't care" to "by their actions" two clearly different things. Also, it's not even in open beta yet. Who knows how many more balance changes and skill changes will happen. Saying guild wars is not pvp oriented is like saying walls aren't solid. That's pretty much the reason the game exists.

That's kinda what I'm afraid of. I've never been THAT into PvP in MMOs. So this may end up not being a game for me. Which is fine. I just wanted to confirm w/ ppl about it before I said yay or nay to dropping $60 on the game.

I don't think it really matters if it's PvP centric or not. The major complaint from people like myself who loved GW1's PvP is that they didn't really take anything from it. Instead of GvG and HA we get a zergy WvWvW mode and their 5v5 mode. This isn't quite what a lot of people were hoping for, I also can't help but feel like the new skill and class system isn't going to be nearly as interesting as the original was PvP-wise.

i like how you never heard the phrase "actions speak louder than words." it is more clear from their action than their words that GW2 will not be pvp focused. so yes, anet has stated this very clearly.

similar circumstance, blizzard states they care about esports but wont give major tournaments LAN mode. actions > words.

State = words. I can't find any supporting this.

And whether or not their actions suggest they are focusing on pvp or not is up to interpretation. You interpret their actions as not supporting PvP. I completely and utterly disagree with your interpretation.

You mean, in YOUR opinion, they are not going to be pvp centric, because they're developing different form of pvp than what you like.

It's damn bloody clear it's a game focused in pvp. Maybe GW1 players will like it, maybe not, but one thing they should realize is that making pvp based on an intricate puzzle of 5 billion builds that you have massive burden of knowledge to even enter, is not what is going to sell in today's market.

And at the end of the day, arenanet is a business.

That said, I've been quite happy how the game's turning out to be, just need more maps for the BG. And less lag.

Err.. not really man. I mean, this is your interpretation of their actions, which is completely fine. If you've arrived at the opinion of them as being a company who don't support PvP, then fine. Make your own decisions. But to say that they've 'clearly stated' and then suggest that this is fact, is simply wrong and shouldn't be in this thread.

At the very least, append your words with an 'IMO', to make it clear to those who aren't sure about the truth of the matter that your claims are purely speculative and not actually based on any hard evidence.

Another similar circumstance, blizzard says D3 is going to be PvE focused and it doesn't even have pvp... O wait.

Are there any upcoming beta weekends or anything for this? I have become absolutely bored of every game out right now and need something to hold me over.

Arenanet doesn't do the opening the gates of hell beta thing. Best we get is weekends and there's only 1 more before launch. Kind of sucks since I'm bored and want to play GW2 so bad. But since it's beta its pointless anyway.

Man I can't believe their release date is seriously the day I start school T_T. I can defininitely wait for august 28'th that's for sure .

I'm not even playing in the beta's since the first one so I can enjoy the game even more and not have to start over. Played the first one, had a blast and will definitely enjoy when the full release comes out ^_^
When I think of something else, something will go here
