Guild Wars 2

exactly what the title says…. courtyard timer too short for semi-balanced opponents
is is possible to alter the timer based on the point spread? if not make it 8 min plz

i think it would be nice to have 3 rounds instead of a timer.

courtyard give 25 points on kill
the timer is good for balanced team fight each other for a small map

The timer is fine. I actually had a match hit time at 125 - 25 or so. The rest I’ve been in were 500 - totally less than that slobberknockers.

Timer is fine, no reason dragging out the length of the premade vs solo q matches in courtyard facerolls

Most of the matches I’ve had on courtyard have had huge comebacks…until this 5 minute timer started. This timer basically says whoever wins the first fight wins the entire game.

This exactly. I’ve had numerous comebacks from being 200 or even 300 points behind. Now it’s based on who wipes first. Period. Where before it was a tuggle war of ruining the teams rotation. What’s the point of reducing the timer if you’re not implementing rounds?

It was manageable before but now the map and game mode is completely ruined…

I really want to know the reason as to why they did this.

once again, another match that was close, decided by timer. 125-175. Timer too short

Exactly…I was down 150-475 with pug group against 4 premade 1 pug. Quick pep talk between us and I was mid air stomp 475-475 when they got the stomp first. No comeback possible now. If you get wiped, you had better wipe them the next time out; because after that you only have 1-2 min left to decide the winner. Timer jacked all. 10 minutes would be fine if it MUST be reduced. The 5 min timer also throws everyone into a scramble because they know they have no time at all.

Why not make it so that the timer runs faster or slower depending on how close the game is? This way face rolls end even sooner and close games can extend beyond the current timer.
EX.
score= 100 vs 100, 1 second=.5 secs off clock
score =400vs 0, 1 second= 5 secs off clock
All games have a 15 minute hard cap time limit… after 15 minutes the game ends

Just an idea

Same here, there is no time to come back now. Whoever makes the best opening wins atm.

THIS PLEASE!!!

3 minute timer for one round, no respawns.

The ONLY change needed for courtyard IMO…
