I’m not here trying to promote another game or saying that New World need to copy and paste the entirely of some other game. However, I played Guild Wars 2 for 9 years and I think NW Devs should use some of the content below as inpiration for the future 5v5 arenas.
All 5v5 arenas are very similar to OPR on a smaller scale.
3 nodes (Near node, Middle node and Far node)
They’ve 8 different 5v5 maps and 3 different 3v3 maps today
2v2 would be pretty cool as long as they give solo players the ability to queue for both 2v2 and 3v3 simultaneously so it doesn’t negatively affect queue times. can even keep the same arena. should be pretty brainless for them to do idk why they haven’t already
nevervinter had fun 5v5 pvp.
its the way to go.
because there is solo and team play combined.
some classes can solo back cap, some hold mid , some home base and then there is the bow haha.
5v5 with caping is best possible pvp format or even 10v10 on outpost map would be cool.
GW2 more than likely has the highest populated PvP scene in the MMO genre. Queues are close to instant. And in every Ranked Season there are always more than 250 players playing Ranked PvP Arenas. Not to mention the tournaments are pretty good too if you have a full premade. I just wished WvW in GW2 has less to do with server stacking to win. And more to do with tactical movement and use of abilities.
Other than that GW2’s PvP scene is more than likely the highest rated and populated in the genre. Does any MMO outside of Eve Online come close?
