Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

I would like to know when

- there will be a ladder or different kind of ranking system
- when it will be possible to organize custom tournaments. I have prepared everything to organize tournaments in our community and i was really disapointed that its not in game yet ! So many work to get comentators / streamers / partners for tournaments.
- when there will be spectator mode?

these 3 things are important. People are starting to be bored after 14 days because there is no competition at all. Random tournaments even you fight organized groups doesnt make GW2 competitive game. Offten you get easy wins and only rarely a good fights.

So please tell me. When we can expect to have competition in sPvP?? And please dont tell “when its ready” because that was supposed to be 28.8.2012

i second this.

I really want to know when the paid tournaments will be ready, hopefully these tournaments will be ranked too.

Ten thousand this. You (Anet) said u want an E-SPORT, but for this u have to do a lot. Without ladder/custom games PvP will die really fast

There is a lot of people out there looking for challenge which we are not getting in “random” tournaments.

sorry but its true. ladder system is needed so ve can progress and be challenged at our rank.
and it is needed fast. Now the major issues with connections / rewards / auction house seems to be sorted. Its time to move for next step.

Yes we need this, but we don’t need a rushed version of it tho – A broken rating system can have worse consequences than no rating system tbh.

Thats for sure. But.. at this point game is relased and therefore “is ready” and we do not have some of promisses here. Starting with sPvP competitive scene and ending with smartphone applications and webportal auction hause.

I really agree, this needs to be done. I’m currently in a organized team and we face nearly no challenge at all. Even if you could only do one thing at a time, start with private tournaments and then move on to ELO/Rating system as a TEAM not a SOLO rating that would ruin the game.

Get Stopmed I know you guys, have meet you 2 days in row always very close results and nice fights. In current state one of only matches worth to mention.

Lets hope we get at least some estimation dates when the system will be implemented. Lot of good teams is now disapointed as they are not getting challege of their level of play.

/signed, without ladder there is no recognition, without recognition there is no scene, without scene there is no incentive for new people to play the game

Anet, we really do need information about this before people just start leaving the game behind!

I support this

at least those Custom tournaments so the actual competitive scene may start

I bought this game for competitive PvP … we were promised that GW2 is aiming to be an E-Sport … yet there is no competitive pvp at all

sPvP is joke
tPvP is nice start but as was sad before, there is rarely any competition

I understand that account security was major issue so was Auction House (your income) but those things are fixed so imho now is the time when you at least tell us when are you going to gave us the game u promised

Yup, it is true, we need a ladder system for PVP to be competitive at all. Competitive PVP keeps players wanting to play and interested in the PVP scene. I hope they will implement some kind of matchmaking/rank system in the future.

matchmaking / rank is important so the good players are fighting good players and dont get bored soon.

To be honest i pretty much like how Starcraft 2 is splited in leagues and players are working on their game in order to be promoted to higher leagues !

Don’t worry guys they are working on it!

I hope so, but i would like to know when? the game is out. It was supposed to be “ready” and therefore should have promissed competitive PvP. I do not have that one.

So please, just tell us WHEN and whats the time line of this implementation.

Exactly, PVP in this form is funny but how long? PVP needs very big boost and options! Ranking system and custom tournaments priority 1 !

definitely. there is no challenge in free tourney because most of the time you just get put up against random pugs on all three maps.

for esport there needs to be

1) competition – no competition right now, mostly just beating on pugs with the occasional challenging matchup against a similar organized team
2) prestige – no fame right now, no one can see your matches, no one knows what guilds win a lot, you go outside the mists and you just look like any other guy. at least add a server wide message “team X has just won a tourney” or “team X is dominating, winning 3 tourneys in a row” or something. add a ranking too for real.
3) variety – its really kind of boring playing the same 3 maps over and over, especially given point #1 about the level of competition. boring to play = even more boring to watch

I support this, would be nice to get some news from ANet!!

I def agree with this – id LOVE to see an update, an ETA.

one of the most dissapointing things about Diablo 3 ( not comparing, just saying) was sitting here (STILL) waiting for PVP updates and ETA.

at least GW2 has a fun PVP system already, id just LOVE to get an update on rankings and some form of ladder.

thanks a-net

Where you need to put my signature ?
We really appreciate the hard work you done guys, but try to look into this from the other side…
You promised so much to us, to your customers and to your players, we enjoy really much what have you done, but there are some things we need to know…
Things we – players talking about and things, which are still unanswered…
What about one answer from you guys, tell us something like a: “We working on that and we’re expecting first results and test aprox in 2-3 months”.
It will probably shut us all… and you know, sooner you will provied dates/more info, sooner we will be silent

Just try to understand, “Soon” is not answer.

Arenanet is focused on PvE in an PvP e-sports announced game … im going to get bored

Anet , PLEASE adress this as soon as possible. If you play for more than 10 hours you WILL get bored with the current PvP options.

Thank you!

What a shame, no answer yet. Maybe different topic? i have seen this issue raised in more threads in this forum.

agree and have nothing to add…

AN its your turn now

For those teams that are looking for challenges, my team (from guild Win) is always looking to fight the better guilds out there. Send me a tell in game if you wan to queue together so that we are in the same tournament bracket and we can scrim. My in game name is Barkams Wife. Our tourney schedule is 7-10pm PST Tue-Thur and Sunday.

I look forward to our matches.

Thats a great activity but it wont help and its not 100% sure you get in same tournaments. Could be many open tournaments at same time.

This i feel is very important in GW2, the GvG stuff you had in GW1 where you played home or away was what really made GW1 so awesome and im really eager to know when this will be available in GW2

please! some info on this!

/signed
this is not e-sport game yet, only big joke

/signed. We also need a response towards the paid tournaments , when will they be open? Rankings would be nice too.

/signed

More info on structured PvP is needed.

Yeah cant wait for this. This way teams trying to go pro wouldn’t waste practice time on players starting out in tPvP and roflstomping them. This way Pros can play Pros and lower elo players can learn and climb the ladder. It would be nice to have a post from one of the devs on this.

Please let us know ….

/signed this is really important thing for guild wars, unless you want to focus pve

Hm no answers from ANET? You guys on holliday? E-Sport game? realy? …funny…

Chill…they’ve got a ton of issues to fix,it’s just so early.Don’t you guys have anything else to do?It hasn’t been a month yet!

I definitely agree!!!

Hopefully we see Chaplan´s blog post today

I can’t believe there is still no answer to this? Even a polite apology or smth? I mean… come on…
Anet kitten up the pvp over the pve again? This company is already infamous about kitten up a great PvP game for its PvE content…

i would want a feature that enables guilds to hold their own prized tourney matches in rentable private servers (custom tournaments) and invite the best guilds in game for the ultimate test of skill than a ladder that rewards farming and no life gaming.

I would expect that community based spvp guilds like team legacy and team paradigm to host these events.

Hey [MATH], warriors can’t have pets here, so ure pretty much screwed buds!

Not only guilds but some of the fansites can do that too. I have prepared allready a whole system for leagues / tournaments. The only thing Im missing right now is … wow.. the game where i can realize it

/signed give us what you promised its a month past release I was thinking maybe they are waiting a month for teams to form and get some experience before they play for real.

But in the time being one way to sort yourself from the other teams would be make a thread screen shotting all the guys in your tpvp team showing their tourney win ratio
Its a pretty gheto way but hell idk just tossing ideas out on how to solve this ourselves.

Still no news?

They’re taking care of their bigger customers at the moment (PvE and WvW players)

We are just going to have to wait

Im sorry, while i can agree with that and try to be patient.. . i think i can´t do that. I was waiting for many years for “when its ready” and there is a lot of promisses https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/pvp/ that are simply not in game. So at this point all Im asking is to know when these promisses will be in game. Just an information.. nothing more..

im lvl 22 in pvp and im bored to death. PURE GLORY GRIND to get to 30 and get good gear, but then wait, i have to grind to 40 and the gear doesnt matter anyway

Still no blog post.. still no information..

I seem to recall Guild Wars 1 having competitive/ranked play at launch. The ladder/rankings for guild vs guild were in place as well as the ongoing global tournament for the Hall of Heroes (via Heroes Ascent or Tombs, whichever you prefer).

Knowing this, it would be reasonable to expect that Arenanet would make some effort to even come close to how good the competitive system was back then. Sure, we have a sort of world vs world ladder, but that doesn’t count, at all. For many many reasons…

sad panda wants to beat other sad pandas on her level
