Well from the pcgamer info weve received we haven't got much info on the pvp side of gw2 besides World PvP. IMO world pvp sounds cool ,of course we really don't know how armor,lvls,etc will work yet. But from the sounds of it it doesn't seem like somthing for the more competative pvp player.

All I hope is that Anet doesn't abandon there philosophy of having great competitive balanced PvP as well. To my knowledge there will be a balanced pvp like GvG, which sounds great but I hope they bring back things like arena combat as well. These would include things like Team Arenas. Random Arenas, and ....Heroes Ascent. I also hope there can be a strong PvP community in GW2 and I hope Anet knows that its a major draw to this game.

One other factor I was thinking was about was the ability to jump,swim,slide,climb etc. All of these have been talked about in either the katoku interview or pcgamer to my knowledge. Things like bodyblocking a strong element in this game I think could also be achieved by not being able to jump over other characters and maybe actually climbing and swimming would add a fun factor to pvp. Rightfully so those would have to be implemented correctly.

In conclusion I hope that we can still have an observer mode that will be used to watch top guilds and teams compete, as well as have world championships. If Galie could pop in and maybe get us some info on this that would be great.

Since i'm sure that Anet Devs are reading these forums lets give um our input.
So what aspects for PvP would you like to see retained in GW2 as well as some changes to game play. Also include the game types you'd like to see return. Discuss...

I think observer mode and tournaments are here to stay, perhaps what might differ may be in the actual implementation of such things... so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

As for random arenas and team arenas, I do hope they carry over too.

AFAIK GvG will be UAX and thats all I need to know. Do hope faction might allow for character customisation now that there's nothing to unlock.

I'm hoping for a ton of new PVP modes. I hope GvG, TA and HA remain in some form or another. I like that in addition to more "Hardcore" PVP that they're putting in more casual PVP in the form of the World battles or whatever they're called. But I hope they always put in more team based PVP. And even include Hero Battles as well even though in it's current form it's just not that great.

I dont think climbing, swimming and jumping will affect PVP at all. Just make sure that there are no areas for swimming and climing and make sure that you can't jump higher than melee range.
