Guild Wars 2

Please add an option to allow other select players to admin a custom pvp arena.

We purchased an arena for our guild. I’m the admin, but I can’t be online at all times. I want our other leader and our officers to be able to make changes to the arena as they see fit, per gaming session.

This leads me to a second problem / wanted solution.

There seems to be only three options for keeping out random players (we do NOT want random players joining – with random players it might as well be a regular numbered pvp server and kills the whole point of having a custom arena.)

- Passwording, which kills the ability to progress.
- Reserving all the slots for guild members, which again kills the ability to progress.
- Having the exact amount of maximum players allowed join from a guild, which is rarely going to happen unless the only ‘admin’ is online to adjust the settings – and again it kills progress if the maximum is set to 1v1 or 2v2.

Please remove some of this progress hindrance. There’s not much sense in playing if we can’t progress – but then again there’s not much sense in playing if randoms are going to join and ruin guild-only games when the only official ‘admin’ isn’t online to adjust the maximum players per team settings so randoms can’t join.

None of these limits were mentioned in the only mention of what’s customizable, here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Custom-Arenas-FAQ

So far it seems that the custom arena was a waste of money due to these limits. We just want to be able to do our dailies and level up without interference from randoms and trolls. I know many of my guilds members refuse to play sPvP due to the randoms and trolls, and we thought this was a solution. Apparently it’s not.

Fix these problems and we’ll happily spend a lot of money extending custom arena time.

We realy need admin rights to.
We had our ldr get a custom arena and nwo for 50% of the day we can only do 1 type of thing.
Its verry annoying.

The progress options are just fine, u gys just want to have a easy way to get laurals ( witch are already for to easy to get ).

Honestly it has nothing to do with laurels. At least for my part, I’ve got more laurels than I ever know what to do with, more gold than I’ll ever use, more karma than I’ll ever use, etc.

If we were just looking for an easy way to do stuff we could always just join a random numbered pvp server and take turns letting each other kill us. I’ve seen a lot of people doing that, and I’ve let other players spam-kill me while I sit there doing nothing just so they can get their daily. Having a private custom arena isn’t going to change whether that happens or not.

The reason we want less progress hindering options is so we can get people who do not play spvp at all to actually play it with us. As it stands, over half the time when we try to do a progress making game in a numbered server with just 1v1, 2v2 or we’ve got people who are completely new to spvp with us, we get other people joining and ruining the game. People who unbalance the teams. People who will switch teams at the last minute just so they’re on the winning side. People who come in just to troll the chat. People who are very high ranked coming in to kill newbies for the fun of it. People who, by our best guess, are hacking, teleporting all over the map.

I want our players who are new to sPvP to be able to progress without these game-breaking and demoralizing problems. For my part, I could give a crap whether I level or get laurels or not. I’m just in it for the social aspect.

Agree on the multiple admins option.

I don’t really care much about rank progress. If you play sPvP a lot, you’ll get enough through tournaments and hot join.

I will bump this old forum due to the Main Point. I Think Server owners should be able to give permission out to other members to be able to admin a server when him or her is offline. This would save alot of headache. Make it something like the guild ranking panel where we can select certain people to have certain admin rights. The ability to kick players and or set passwords. If this has been posted else where please link here or let me know cause it is something that has been causing me alot of problems.

Yes please. Please make it so that arenas can have multiple permissions on them or be guild purchaseable so that ranked officers can be the ones to use them. My guild would love to buy an arena but realize that not everyone will be on at the same time. There’s at least an officer on every time slot but everyone’s got lives here.

this is extremely disappointing, but ever since they removed custom arena from the gem store, it means that they have dropped all future support for it.

very disheartening.
