Guild Wars 2

I’m looking to participate in some fun free tournaments but my server is pretty dead now. Is there any server that regularly has free tournaments going?

I’ve read some threads on here and it seems like they are hard to come across, especially if you aren’t some arbitrary rank. I can understand that but I really just want to try them out.

Any advice/help would be appreciated.

Ever since 1 round paids have come out frees rarely pop, not to mention that the PvP community is dissipating if there even was 1 to begin with . Its really unfortunate for people such as yourself being unable to participate in frees because the PvP community is so small. Your best bet of getting a queue pop on Frees is in the afternoon possibly. Good Luck!

You can solo queue. So you could always solo queue and wait.

Solo q and wait im afraid, if you play in primetime the Q times arent so bad. If your on anvil rock u might find free groups, if u q with a group the pops are usually a little quicker.

I spent r10 to r25 soloqueing.. it builds character

Also it’s a great way to meet new players…
Also a good way to rage quit after a few matches though….

Important note: tournaments are filled from all servers in a region (NA or EU). So there’s no advantage to being on a high population/low population server when it comes to getting tournaments to pop.

Your options are to join as a solo player or join an open PvP guild. There are still a couple guilds with no rank requirement that regularly use guild chat to form groups. Also, at the next patch there could be some important changes that would raise the population and make things pop faster. For example, if free tournaments take on the same format the paid tournaments have (single match + matchmaking) they would pop almost instantly. Also if Anet introduces a dedicated solo queue format—but the population may not be high enough to support that yet, we’ll have to see what happens in a couple days.

tPvP and iPug, although I haven’t used iPug for a while. I’m not sure if it’s still very active. tPvP is, though. There may be some others.
