    I personally dislike it, win or lose. to me it's a mind numbing half hour of wishing it were over. I have played a lot of games in the past 15ish years and this is the absolute worst pvp scenario I have ever played.

    My opinion only.

    Okay, now that I'm not in the Gauntlgrym PvP match(which means I'm no longer looking at youtube videos) I can finally respond.

    The Gauntlgrym PvP map is painful to play. I find it hard to believe anybody, save a handful of people, actually play this map because they enjoy it. Unlike Domination maps, if you go afk it's rare anyone in your party will complain or even indicate disappointment in the choice. It's also required to play the Gauntlgrym PvE dungeon. On top of this they choose to make the teams assigned based on guild factions, which is just adding insult to injury.

    Why is the most boring and painful to play PvP map 20 minutes long? Why is this map required to enter FC? Who thought it would be a good idea to make a map with 5 control points?

    Map's name should be changed to Merry-Go-Round Domination.

    Technically, you don't need to do the pvp to play in either of the gaunt dungeons. The 30 minutes of PvP will give you the scroll needed to get into Dwarf King by getting any number of points and waiting in the PvE zone until the event ends (just like the PvE portion).

    Gaunt isn't all bad. Its a refreshing change from the broken PVP format.

    In 20vs20, the broken PVP classes aren't highlighted as much.

    Nope. Don't need any of that.

    Thanks for the responses guys. I'm very relieved to hear I was incorrect in assuming you HAD to enter the 20v20 merry-go-round to get the share. I'm actually glad I can just afk in the Gauntlgrym zone to get a share, because just about anything else in this game is better than playing that 20v20 map.

    And who knows, maybe I only have to be present for the last minute or so, similar to the first portion of Gauntlgrym events.

    Anyways. I'm praying mod 3 will bring some new content that makes all the gauntlgrym gear obsolete. Maybe players will forget that Cryptic ever made gauntlgrym and their reputation won't remain tarnished as the company that released the worst pvp map for a MMO in history.

    You have to get points before 10 minutes are left, or else its impossible to get a share unless you get lucky and enter a 20v20 really quickly. The last 10 minutes you can only earn glory, nothing else.

    You're not alone in thinking that. This is easily one of the worst map PvP map designs I've ever seen, since EVERY start is just a big right hand circle around to the flag/cap points.

    When I first signed up, I was thinking this might be more like Alterac Valley in WoW - so I was really taken aback by how shabby it was.

    The only reason I play it is just to get the seal of triumph from the daily quest. I might as well spend 30 minutes picking my nose, it'd be more entertaining.

    As a Delzoun I find gg PvP very PvP-less. Collecting wood, boulders, drops for the little wagons. Winning the PvP without ever PvP-ing any Luskan. And then being told by the system that yes, I won the PvP but no, I cannot queue for Dwarf King.

    You need 3 things to enter Dwarf King's Crypt:
    1. The scroll for completing the PvE section
    2. The scroll for completing the PvP section
    3. Your side (Delzoun) HAS to win overall (the big bar in the top middle of the screen). After PvP ends it will announce the winner
    If any of the above are not achieved, you cannot enter Dwarf King's Crypt.

    You do not have to do PvP you can just get 60+ points like in PvE(or sth like that) by bringing food to the giant or gathering Artifacts.

    In my opinion Gauntlegrym has potential but needs to be reformed.

    There is nearly no Reason to participate in the PvE part (most people just get a few points)
    There is nearly no Reason to participate in the PvP (seals of triumphed changed that which is great! but besides that most people dont really like it)

    What could be done is to increase the rewards and dont make it just a map to run around on your mounts -> maybe force them into battles?!

    Make Catapults much stronger - the giant? stop it! I allmost feel sorry for that guy slowly running back and forth without getting a clear shot for 15 Minutes...

    I agree that Gauntlgrym should be like Alterac valley. 2 big teams facing echother. more like mass pvp, than mass merry go round.
    Defending bases, teh first one to drain the points of the other team wins.
    I just remembered how much fun Alterac was.
