As we know, Guild Wars has a rich tradition of pickup and competitive PvP. There are all kinds of places for Guild Wars players to scratch PvP itch: from Heroes' Ascent and Random Arena to Alliance Battles and GvG.

What kind of PvP will be in Guild Wars 2? How it is different from Guild Wars? For Guild Wars 2, there are two main kind of PvP, one is Structured another is World vs World vs World. Let’s take a look at PvP changes in Guild Wars 2.

Structured PvP

In Guild Wars 2, there are two main kind of structured PvP: Hot Join PvP and Tournament Play. How the system is different from what you’ve experienced in Guild Wars.
Hot Join PvP
"Hot join" games are the casual side of structured PvP. And this is a place to experiment with builds, learn the maps, and try out a PvP game against other players. Hot join PvP can be played from 1v1 all the way up to 10v10.
Tournament Play
Tournaments are the more organized side of structured PvP. Tournament play is 5v5, but the matches take place on the same maps that are also used for hot join play. Tournaments will run with varying frequency, and different reward levels will allow some players to get their feet wet in the smaller tournaments while more-organized teams battle it out in the larger tournaments.
Tournaments come in the following flavors:
Pickup Tournaments: These single-elimination tournaments wait for 8 teams to join before starting. Once they start, they go through 3 rounds of eliminations, with winners receiving qualifier points.
Monthly Tournaments: For monthly tournaments, you'll need a certain amount of qualifier points to join.
Yearly Tournaments: These grand tournaments feature the winners from the monthly tournaments slugging it out for the right to call themselves the best PvP players of the year.
Player-Run Tournaments: These tournaments will be customized by players, allowing for great flexibility and unique bragging rights.

The Conquest Game Type

Guild Wars 2 PvP features different maps that all dramatically alter a single gameplay type called Conquest. Conquest involves teams competing over a certain number of capture points which improves your team’s score, as kills enemies. The team which reaches the score limit first, or with the highest score when the time runs out wins the match.

Save Templates for Builds
You are able to save templates for builds. This is a principal in Guild Wars until now, so it would make sense to adapt the system for saving builds in Guild Wars 2. You will see how this system works soon. And what it will bring to you.
