Guild Wars 2

Because why not.

Small achievement at 15. Medium at 500. Large at 1000.

Maybe at 500, give the tittle minuteman or something.

Also, since I don’t want to make another thread for this. Right now if you check the “mute GW2 when tabbed out” box you still can hear the match found horn when tabbed, but can’t hear the “hold onto your points, seize theirs” or “the match starts soon” announcements when tabbed. Would be nice if we could hear those announcements too when tabbed.

Inb4 PvE’rs Ready Up and leave the match when it starts, rinse repeat.

wait a sec….

are you actually serious?

I mean yeah. People complain about how nobody uses ready up. This would get more people to use it, and then we might get more matches where everybody on both team’s actually Ready’s Up.

Hardly going to break anything if it gets implemented.

I think that’s one awesome little idea.

Sounds cool but ultimately a very bad idea…

How come?

If you’re willing to say something is a bad idea you might as well say why. Just saying something is a bad idea isn’t very useful.

If anything, I believe giving a small rank point/ reward track boost for readying up is more than enough (at the end of the match of course).

All they need to do is make it an obnoxious box that you cant delete in the center of your screen until you click ready up (similar to the match ready box before the game starts, but the “ready up” box disappears after you click it) most of the times I forget the box is there and I can still watch my shows that I was watching since we can’t do anything waiting in queue.

Problem with that would be that sometimes you actually aren’t ready at the start of a fight. Like you see that you were thrown in courtyard or have a bad comp and want to swap chars/respec or something.

What wolfey said would work as well. I dunno, realistically speaking I’d like to think people wouldn’t ready up and then afk some ~500 times just to earn a title. I mean you can’t do other stuff when the match is going on. And you can’t exactly grind PvP matches while afk’ing.

I like that fact that you are hunting down a solution to this issue! I understand that some people just aren’t ready…but I also think some people just don’t think about it to much..
A small..but good solution would be making the ready button much more eye catching! the small gray box on the left never catches my eye…However… The flashing chest over my mini map when I complete a daily does! Give that button some sparkle! some shine! make the ready up button more DASHING .
I honestly think this will increase the amount of games to start quicker ^^
