Any word whether Factions will include 6v6?

I tacked this on the back of a post somewhere else, but thought it deserved it's own thread.

So... will there be?

I sincerly hope there will be,

The jump from 4 to 8 is just too much.

Theres already evidence of 10 vs 10 and 12 vs 12.

Yes, check my post here: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=136962

12 vs 12 Pvp =-).

And by the looks of some of the video featured on Ign, there's also 10 vs 10 pvp. Since there's 12 vs 12 and 10 vs 10, I guess to answer your question, you could assume there's 6 vs 6 =-P.

I agree the jump to 8 can be tough when you are just learning the game. There is a reason why you can members as you advance through the game (4 = Ascalon, 6 = Yak's, etc)

8 v 8 is exponentially more complicated and hard to grasp than 4 v 4, until you know what the teams do as a whole. But the 4 v 4 tactic of understanding the enemy on the individual basis- next to impossible in an 8 v 8 (specially Heroes'). So yeah, an intermediate step would be good. If the 6 v 6 format were properly supported (kinda like how 8 v 8 is supported by Heroes' Ascent, winning sigils and fame, while 4 v 4 wins you...abuse by W/mos), I could see it being a whole lot of fun AND more accessible to the neophyte PvPite.

Maybe even more, ive got some Clips of Factions were the Killcount is on 200-300 I like that, maybe a massive War with 50-50 for a City like they said.

that would be cool but unlikely

Not unlikely, seen stuff about it on http://photics.com/issues/issue27.html, battles over maps and such. But it's ofcourse not sure, but I wouldn't say unlikely.

Just as a note, that video wasnt PvP. And these werent kills count, they were points. It was a Competitive PvE area, and you scored points for achieving objectives AFAIK. Its true that kills were awarded one points, but at one time in the video, they capture a kind of altar and got 20.
