Guild Wars 2

In light of this thread, I was curious how the community felt about increasing glory rewards for consecutive wins in tpvp.

The idea here is to make tpvp the place for the most potential glory and, well, reward winning.

I did some quick math on this and if this system was implemented, and you managed to never lose, it would still take 3,906 tournament wins to reach max rank (assuming you started at 0 rank, ran a glory booster the whole time, NEVER lost a match and averaged an additional 300 glory per match: 3,906 – 0), so I don’t think it would be too much of an increase in glory gain.

Even if you started at rank 60, you still have about 2.6k consecutive wins to go…

Math:
1. 4,600 glory x2 for first 10 wins = 9,200 glory + 3,000 for 12,200
2. 8,971,500 – 12,200 = 8,959,300 glory left to get
3. 8,959,300/2,300 = 3,895.348 wins, no .348 wins allowed, so round up to 3,869
4. 3,896 + 10 = 3,906 consecutive wins to max rank.

While i agree with the whole increasing tPvP rewards argument, i personally wouldn’t enjoy a Consecutive Winning Rewards system under matchmaking system.

I feel it would kill Solo Queues even more with more and more Premades “farming” glory.

Glory is no reward – Actually there is no “reward” for playing tpvp currently and after the mai announcement i am still dissapointed that they dont adress this critical factor.

I am also wondering when or if they will address tournment map selection ever.

More rewards plz. GW1 had tons of them. Every other game has tons of them. Its really not that hard. For every person that claims they just play for the fun of it there is at least 1 person that plays for the fun plus they want some kind of rewards to chase.

Glory =/= rank. You do not double your rank points with glory boosters.

to increase a reward it needs to have one at the first place.

Consectutive winning rewards system would work under a full premade queue system. In this current system, absolutely not. It’d be like rewarding the rich and punishing the poor.

Yes, sorry, you are correct. I was confuzzled. On the other hand, I’d still like to see this system implemented!

Hopefully, the split queue will be here soon…

No, its more of rewarding the skilled and punishing the unskilled players. Unskilled players stay at low ranks and skilled players advance in ranks as they should.

The current mmr does set you up against people around your leaderboard rank so you will be facing harder teams as you win more.

It is impossible to glory farm a tournament without any skill, so the skilled will be advancing in ranks faster and will also encourage more teams as it should.

If you want esports your not going to have it with a bunch of solo que’ers.
With a lot of premades and teams you’ll get esports.

The current system supports solo que’ers because the tournament is only 1 round and reward if they luck out.

If they had a bigger tournament with the rewards for top 3, you will see less solo que and more people making teams and looking for more to join them.
You decide who you want to support, but as of right now its leaning greatly to the solo que, and anyone can be rank 80 without any skill by hotjoin farming and that takes zero skill.

You see the top 100 players? They are mostly ranked 40- 59 players, however you have hotjoin heroes that are rank 60 +.

How do you feel about zero skilled player being the highest ranked in GW2?
In GW1 you had to win real games, (ZERO rank points in hotjoin matches) to make rank, you guys should be THANKFUL anet hands you out free glory towards ranking up.
