Endurance PvP

^^ title is misleading, i mean GvG.

how about this for an idea. (sprung from playing the Unchartered Isle) If i remember correctly this is the map where you go to get the armor for your heros. after killing off all the guild lords you are teleport to another maps and so on, i think there are 3.

GvG you pick map to play right. and basically if you win, kill the guild lord or something, you won depending on what map you are playing.

so, in an endurance GvG (anything you want to call it) you have to play on 3 maps, after winning one map you will be teleported to the next, fighting the same group of players / guild on this new map, then the next, wins if you get 2/3

games ends if a guild wins the first 2 games.

or maybe 4 maps, so that there can be a tie and then we can have a deciding match.

like say guild 1 wins 2 maps, guild 2 win 2 maps so its a tie, then you go into a deciding match.

off course this is a toggleable feature.

what do you think?

thanks
PS: this time i am not in the shower :P

That sounds like an hour of GvG play. D:

I think the reason the challenge mission works is because even with a poor team you can slaughter the NPCs relatively quickly. Human players are not so easy, not in high end play, so unless you shortened the time to VoD, you're going to have loooooooong matches.

yeah, time could be a big obstacle to this, many players might not have the luxury of spending that much time in matches.

How about making it a selection in the selecting a match, the leader can select if they want to go into an Endurance Match or a normal GvG.

off course you gain more Balthazar Points with endurance matches, like first one 1k second one 2k, third one 3k and so on.

yea so much time
but that's a nice idea

PS:The challenge mission u said it's Dajkah Inlet. Uncharted Isle is a kind of GH

And when ppl rage quit?
cool idea
and it would have to be best of 3/5/7

(sorry it would take forever to do)

Oh, awesome. this way, when I face someone running shitway or some retarded vod build with a smite mesmer and two ineptitude sins, I get to play them at least twice in a row!

This is something i want to do right after eating soap and sawing my foot off.

Best out of 2/3 for GvG? Seems like a waste of a time...

Basically, change GvG to be like the MLB/NBA playoffs?

Not worth it, imo, also, larger chance for dc's and errors.

Why not have it be random GvG's where it's like Team Arenas or Random Arenas, only with a team of six, and they all must be from your guild. You may bring one hero only, and every two victories is one gladiator point.

I don't know. :P

Any new form of PvP is A'okay with me though. /signed

how about you and your guild enter ATs....

lol, did you guys even think about what you wanted to post before posting something.

number 1) this thread is called "Endurance PvP (GvG, actually but i type in the wrong word and can't change it, but i made a correction), but the important word is ENDURANCE

So, if you want to whine that this is bad because you have to spend hours completing this match, please spare me the pain of having to read it and try to understand why you say that. Beside, I already said it in the op to make it a toggle, then someone say its gonna take too long, and I re-confirm the point of toggle and say whoever arrange the match can choose between normal GvG and the Endurance GvG. so please again, if you are not thinking please spare me the trouble of having to read something that I cannot possibly understand why people would say such a thing.

Lastly, if you have a bad group and rage quitters in your Guild Group which should be hand pick by your guild leader in the first place. I am so sorry, but LOLOLOL, go practice some more! because that is not a good enough reason to say this is a bad idea.

I wouldn't mind new content just as long as it is well thought out. Like the sorrows furnace update. Bout the only thing anet did right. All though it did take them over 2 years to add the stonehearder flatbow.

Actually, saying its too long is a valid concern, because I'm saying the very basis of your idea is bad. Best out of 3 is okay for league or tournament play (usually the longer ones that span over several days or even weeks, like the celestial tournie), but it also lets you change builds between matches so you don't have to let yourself be out-built two matches in a row. For ladder play, this endurance mode just doesn't make any sense.

We already have one that lets you change build between matches. the one everyone is playing now.

Besides some of the GvG matches takes roughly 30 minutes (some ends in 15) x 3 is an hour and a half. If you have a strong build and can do the thing fast, it will be over pretty soon. Plus don't tell me you play 1 gvg match per day. Or that you play GW for 1 hour only everyday.

OK, so it already takes about 5-10 minutes to find a GvG match half the time anyway, and now we're going to potentially divide the number of opponents in half, thus doubling wait times?

Also, I don't believe anyone said anything about bad groups or rage quitters. I mentioned err7's and dc's, which are completely different from rage.
