Guild Wars 2

Gw2 pvp has come a long way since it’s release, but what do you think Guild Wars 2 need to do in order to become a professional esport?

Players, balance.

it’s already an esport, played by like 30 people.

Games casted in 1080p would be nice. The commentary can’t make up for pixels with random colours on it.

The only way I know what’s going on is if I look at the minimap during the stream.

If they’re going to do one balance patch per season, they should do it the day after the finals and not just before the finals.

I enjoy watching player streams of scrims and tournaments but pro-league is generally boring. The difference? A player stream features one player and how they rotate and manage their abilities throughout the match. Pro-league has more overhead views of team fights and more commonly switches to player point of views after something interesting has already happened, like a 1v1. In pro-league, we get to see a little bit of a lot but the thing the current format skips is directly showing the use and timing of specific abilities. They try to show us everything and show us almost nothing.

If my problem with pro-league is like other peoples’, then ideally they would stream from several players point of view and we could choose who we want to follow during a game. If they can only do one stream per match, let players volunteer to be featured, let us vote for the point of view we want to watch from, or simply pick at random and stick with the players, classes, and roles that correlate more strongly with increased viewership.

I don’t care about Esports….. I didn’t even know that was a thing for people. I just like playing games for fun, if I had a say in it I’d remove Esports and add fun

This patch was seemingly WvW life support oriented, balance patch timing and content isn’t synonymous with pro league.

I stalk Chaith for that sort of quotes for bad copypastarino on Twitch Chat.

Amazing what you can do to quotes if you just replace words with other ones, kappa.

Change your twitch source from Auto to Source. Marginal improvement!
