I was just wondering who will be against  who in lets say structured pvp. Such as in WoW ( i dont play it, but i know) there is the alliance vs the horde, or something like that, In Lotro it is the free people vs monster players, etc. 

In Guild wars 2, when we que for a structured pvp, and lets say ill be an asura guardian who will be my allys or enemy. Who are the "good" or "bad" ones, sorry i dont know much about this lore/story im just here for the kick ass pvp.

In WvWvW i know it will be servers against servers, but in other types of pvp idk who will be against each other.

Thanks.

I think PvP all boils down to WvWvW and Guild vs Guild? But I could be wrong.

I imagine it would just be like Guild Wars 1 PvP, you get put in a random group and wear a specific colour, you have to kill the oppisite colour. 

But I don't know for sure.

Remmember this game isn't WoW. Its not a WoW clone.  You have to clear your mind of WoW completly.

This is a faction-less game. Its WvW is based on Servers fighting eachother. So your enemy is other Servers. Although they look the same as you since they races and classes are the same across the servers, you are broken up into teams. Usually differentiated by color (IE red team, blue team, green team).

hope that helps.

I did state that i dont play WoW and never did & i was using Lotro aswell, but having  factions is really a big plus, mostly because they are your "enemy" lol and they are diff instead of fighting your same race/class maybe i found my first  downside about the game, but thats just me.

My question is more towards the structured and open world pvp, I know everything about the WvWvW. So as you go to open world pvp, people will just be in different colors? i dont really get that

WvW is the only form of "open world" pvp in this game. The colored thing is for structured pvp.

Structured pvp is just teams.. who ever signs up cross server... and the only open world pvp is WvW. there is no pvp in the pve game at all

WvW  is open world, There are 2 kinds of pvp in gw2. There are stuctured matches that are HoT join able, and there is WvW

WvW = Large scale zones with keeps and small objectives to capture. Each having a home terriroty where the home team has a slight advantage with defense.

Structured pvp =  Games you can join from the interface. Battle ground style.

 When your fighting people the good guys are your server Darkhaven for example, and the Bad guys are people from Sorrows Furnace (using server names from the Beta weekend).

WvW fights last 2 weeks, after which you are matched up with servers who are more suited. So if your sever sucks at PvP you are matched up with other servers who also suck ass =)

and even then,wvw isnt really actual world pvp

its kinda like ilum in swtor before it got killed.a battleground made to look like its world pvp

but dont get me wrong though.the pvp does look pretty good in guild wars 2,but its disapointing its another mmo with no real world pvp in it

Thanks for clearing this up guys.

Im actually really disappointed and shocked at the answers though, i never had a problem with the game till now. No world pvp sucks that is the most fun pvp type (WvW is not a consistant thing) and the fact that there is no real enemies but the same class/race as you are but in just different colors is kind of a turn off, there is no real difference in players bascially,but the colors/playstyle ofcourse. Unfortunatly I guess ill have to do more digging before pre-purchasing :(

That's a wise decision: to gather more information. Furthermore, since there is no release date announced yet, several people will be unable to know whether or not the release will happen during a time when their personal schedules are too intensive.

Gw2 structured pvp its like a moba pvp, aiming the E-sports, if you see LOL have team purple and blue, and more than 30 million play...
