Guild Wars 2

So today I played a daily tournament in gw1. To my surprise it was 5 rounds which means the game is still kinda active in that part anyways. People still play monthly as well. Which means all the top teams still play that daily tournament at primetime where 1 team is crowned winner for the day.

So to my point, Does ANET have any plans to add a daily/monthly tournament. To be honest adding a daily tournament 2x a day or at least 1 in primetime with a bigger prize than the normal chest" maybe GEMS? HELL YA!

Adding a daily tournament would mean all TOP Teams will be playing at that same time which mean BIG competition which is nowhere to be found at the moment. Having a daily tournament would also mean " Easier time for shoutcasters " as they would know when all the top teams start playing. This will increase the GW2 competetion in pvp and all casuals will be watching shoutcasters casting these primetime daily tournaments which leads to more people starting SPVP.
At the moment, There is literally 2-3 teams max that plays in primetime which is ridiculous. And the queue time is insane. Adding a daily tournament will mean people will know when the actual tournament starts and will all be ready for it.

Daily tournament is one of the best things that happened to gw1. So why not add it to gw2? I mean it is really simple a daily tournament where you get gems for being in top 3. Who wouldn’t play it…

Now about Monthly tournament. This is where EVERY SINGLE TEAM plays it in gw1. The prize is only a goldcape and a title which says this was the best team this month, something like that anyways. Having a monthly tournament would actually bring a meaning to the “GUILD WARS” which is suppose to GUILD VS GUILD and not PUG VS PUG. Having a similar mechanics to gw2 from that of gw1 which means you get points for being in top 8 of the daily to be allowed to play that monthly tournament. This will make all the top teams active even if it’s for a short amount of time.

A daily tournament will mean more people will be forced into forming a guild [team] which is the whole point of " Guild Wars ". It would also mean top guilds will have a gem/gold income for being the best in the game.
Easier for shoutcasters/ Viewers.
More active primetime scene
More teams playing.
Less pug groups
and the list goes on and on…

So now back to the main question, Does ANET have any plans on adding these kind of tournaments? I know you guys will not say when if you do but I will ask anyways, WHEN will you be adding it. I know for a fact that it has been mentioned few months ago but was never touched.

If you like the idea or have any suggestions on this please reply to this thread with suggestions/feedback, ANET needs to read this! There is still hope!

I am all for it but they really do need to incentivize it through gems or gold or QPs or SOMETHING

We want daily, weekly, monthly, and a yearly tournaments!

While I do agree, that daily/weekly/monthly/yearly tournaments would be absolutely fantastic. I believe that it isn’t and shouldn’t be a priority.

I believe having a fully functional and fun solo queue is the #1 priority for sPvPers. By functional I mean having the matchmaking system smoothed out so more matches are more fair (basically less 100-500 stomps), and a stronger leaver buster. By more fun I mean balance to the point where a dedicated player can be effective with any build with the intent to PvP.

Nonetheless paid tournaments were some of the most fun I’ve had in years as a gamer. And because of the lack of support the one paid pop a night which happened sometimes was like a daily tournament. I would like to witness that intensity again on a regular basis.

Solo queue does not bring any competition to the game and will not make good teams form so we will never have good Tournaments at this rate.

Been wanting that since release. It has been asked once on a SOTG. Dev response was that they were gauging the community run tournaments. A bit later the community tournaments started to drop (invitationals, the weekly NA tourny, etc.). A few weeks later they announced the GW2 “offcial” tournament as a reaction to that. With the rushed organisation as the result (admitted by Allie).

This game doesn’t need other game modes to start with. This game needs more features built around the tournaments/conquest. We need those automated tournaments as they would incentivize making teams and create more dynamics. Ofcourse this is all tied in with the reward overhaul. I hope Anet does this overhaul right, because it is the most important thing right now.

Great idea!

Bump

I totally agree here. If they want the spvp to expand they have to put in some automated tournaments such as what we have in GW1. And some nice rewards at least for monthly tournaments…

It’s what people want, it’s what the game needs, there’s absolutely no reason not to have it. When there’s daily and monthly tournaments with nice rewards, you’ll see people absolutely rushing into spvp…

You’re kind of giving off two different vibes:

1. I want tournaments!
2. I want gems!

Let’s take out the idea of an increased reward completely. Do we still want tournaments for the sake of competition and bragging rights alone?

Let me first clear something up about myself.

I am a PVE hero.

I have 12 characters, a legendary, and over 1.500 hours played in the past 11 Months. To top that off I have many lvl 80s and a commander character.

I am ONLY rank 17 in pvp. I simply do the dailys everyday, sometimes in soloq, mostly in hot join.

My guild only has a very minor interest in PvP, we only play it on mondays, as a guild. For a few hours each week.

I am THE casual PVP player, who stumbled onto this topic by accident trough google, never checking any pvp forum really…

And I 1000000% Support this.

Why? Its simple, its just a great idea.
Having a way to win gems in PvP (I have to believe this was somewhat intended given it was originally implemented) would stimulate the pvp play SO SO much. Despite me, not having a decent pvp team, probably never winning any of those tournaments. I still have to say, it sounds so freakin cool, to be able to win a gold cape for winning a pvp tournament and getting gems out of PvP.

Since gems can be converted to gold as well, pve players will actively add PvP to their daily playtime!

Please do this arenanet…
Add gems to the pvp rewards (I view this as most urgent/most important chance to win gems and only secondly the tournament structure, because the tournament structure without an appropriate reward such as gems, will not help much on its own as far as it goes for getting people like me into PvP)

+1 should be the next step

the problem is, that there are not enough pvp players in this game anymore and adding monthly, daily tournaments wont bring us more. in my eyes the way to get into pvp and is pretty hard. just adding tounaments wont bring any difference, i truly support the idea (AND FREAKIN CAPES) but it wont be the big solution… even if they implement it, i will still wait like 10 minutes to get my oponent in team q and will still be a team thats way better then mine, because there are not enough teams, so i wont find any thats as good/bad as my own.
