Guild Wars 2

I know this is not fault of Anet or anyone, but I’m really surprise how fast the 64 team slots were filled. My team mates were working in the roster for a long time and now we are not inside the ToL and many other competitive players are not registered that i know.

from where these people sprouted?

Dont despair! Many teams drop out beforehand. Make sure youve signed up for the waiting list.

I’m guessing there will be a lot of teams who signed up several of the same players, or a team put random names in to place hold so they can change rosters later.

Either way sign up now because a lot of teams will drop and lose their spot, especially if they send out confirmation e-mails like the previous ToL’s asking teams that genuinely want to participate to confirm their spot.

Also, I think they ran into this issue in previous ToL’s and decided to expand the roster to 128 teams due to high demand.

Perhaps this is the PvE’ers way of snagging all our llamas ] : <

64 teams?!
i can’t even find 64 different players when I que ranked

where the hell did all these players come from

where the hell did all these players come from

i did the same question.

i think my engi said he signed up as the 64th team lol

Well I’m surprised I was the only one who expected this. That’s why I rushed my team to sign up in the first 15 mins, to be sure we’ll have a spot. Actually I was thinking the list will be filled for 1-2 hours.

They started to complain later to everyone who was there to listen “She bossed us to sign up asap”. I’ll make them to come here and read now and to see that I was right. As always!

Big announcement tomorrow though guys!

Eyia Hellhide.7320:

I was right. As always!

“Warrior at far! Wait, how did he switch attunements?”
“I’m going home! Oh, this is far…”
“These guys are pro” end up getting the first win of the day

These are minor oversights that can happen to the greatest minds. I’m always right about the big things in life, universe and everything. Just admit it!

Probably PvE players who want a chance at Mini Llamas.

Sadly this is very true.

Not really. If there were so few people queuing ranked, I would recognise the majority of people in every match from previous matches when I soloq, which I most certainly don’t.

Quoting myself from another thread:

Giving something PVE players want is a good way to make them try PVP, but that kind of reward is only acceptable for casual and ingame playing and it should be something that gives progression. That’s why instead of the current leaderboards they should be creating a league with divisions, where only winning maches in the lowest division could give you mini pets. And Lavish lama only if they are promoted. Take mystic forge off the equation (there isnt one in PvP, so why do we have to use it?)
Anet made a good decision with offgame and serious Tournaments, but chose a bad reward for the target players playing them.

The title system needs to be remade NOW! It’s so useless right now that gives them no alternative to minis when looking for a reward that gives progression. Watch one of wooden potatoes videos about top 10 things he wants for feature pach, where he talks about titles and their potential.
We also need Unique skins and outfits for PVP. They have the same potential.

PVE players want mini pets as they are things who can be farmed in multpile ways, with multiple substitutes and are also visible in PVE and WvW. PVP players want PVP-only rewards that can be won by doing more competitive PVP and require more skill and knowledge about PVP.
I hope ArenaNet makes the right decisions in the future with the data gathered from this ToL3.

Have you considered the fact that it’s close to impossible for a pure pvper to get a legendary from normal pvp and ToL gives an opportunity for dedicated pvpers to get those?

PvPers dont need skins or legendaries, they play with standard models anyway.

People only use skins for the sake of the enemy team?
I’m not even going to dignify this ridiculous comment with a proper answer.

Standard models only work for tournament settings enabled arenas. So, we do use them.

Did I said anything against legendaries? Everyone wants one, wether it’s from PVE, WvW or PVP, so it’s a good reward for a tournament like this.

Do you know the main reason why 64 teams have been filled in an instant? It’s because they can get Mini pets with 1 win and considering the probability of ending the first match with a forfeit from the enemy team, the chance to get a mini pet is huge.
PVP Players are all about reputation! that’s why most PvP players don’t like mini pets that much, because you can’t show them during a match and it doesn’t really “show” how good that player is (like a pvp unique skin or a glue/gree/yellow/orange/purple title would).
PVE players are all about achievements, collections and cuteness. That’s what mini pets are all about too (like Pokemon lol).
Also, most PVE and WvW focused players know very well they won’t be able to win against the strongest PVP teams for the best rewards. They aren’t on this tournament for the Legendary (even though some might dream about it, getting even more frustrated about PVP after the huge disappointement in the near future).

Now, imagine if mini pets were actually in the PVP ingame and players could get them in a casual way. The ammount of players would grow and the PVP community would be bigger too.
And imagine if there are unique titles and skins that show how good players are at PVP. The motivation for all those players to keep getting better and focus more in PVP has just increased and made them become more faithfull to this game mode, making the community grow even more.

become more faithful to this game mode

Now you know exactly why such design decisions are made. To encourage players to try and play all the game modes. I have little doubt it’s the Llama’s driving so many into the tournament too.

Personally I always use the most expensive and exclusive stuff I can find to show them off to others and not to myself.
If others cant see my stuff I might as well use iron armor for 2-3s each.

Yes, but it’s something they don’t get ingame and by playing PVP whenever they want, so it has short-term results unfortunatelly. They won’t last for long. Which means, those new players will do this tournament, maybe some of them might even try 1 other tournament, and that’s it. The PVP community goes back to the same issue again in the near future.
