Guild Wars 2

What the kitten is this?

Edit: Don’t worry though, only another month of having no reason to sPvP – Just WvW in that time, the challenge being to find another player in the new running simulation maps.

Hm, they’ve got a month to smooth out all of the kinks before our first league. Guess this month is the make or break for GW2 PvP lol.

This is a good thing, Spvp is so imbalanced anyways. This gives em time to really rectify the kittenation that is Spvp atm.

Hell take another month for all I care, I just long for competitive play.

nerfs inc Kreygasm.

nice delay on the most important feature for PvP players. Great strat to kill the hype.

In my opinion they should have implemented a test season before dec 1st

They better put ranked back in between now and then

It gives them another month to reconsider implementing solo q again. Without it, leagues will mean nothing since top premade teams are just going to farm pugs all day.

one month will give them enough statistics in terms of which classes are being played the most. Team comps, skills/traits.

I am happy to see that leagues will not start for another month. Hopefully it gives them time to:

1. Fix some balance issues. Let’s be honest. One week ago was a major overhaul and the start of balance is poor right now.
2. Fix matchmaking. Matchmaking has been getting worse as time goes on. It really needs a fix.
3. Leagues. They need to answer two major questions: How to ensure moving up in leagues isn’t just a grinding exercise AND how to ensure that solo players also can move up. As everyone knows, it is a lot easier to win matches as a team vs as a solo player.

If I could actually believe they’d do these things then I would be fine with it but come on, EVERYONE knows that they will fail at everything you listed.

This is something big for anet though. I mean sure, they could still make money off of future PvE expacs, but if they succeed at this leagues thing, you could actually see something becoming of GW2.

Problem is, top tier games don’t limit players wanting to pug. Imagine you’re in a competition for money (which could very well be the case if you hit the challenger rank) and you guys are playing football. You get ranked against madrid, barcelona, or w.e world class group of players you can imagine. Should there be a rule in place to help out the group of guys who didn’t wanna organise themselves into a pre-made? Make unranked solo Q only, but ranked has to be left as is.

We’re not playing for money in ranked, it’s solely for bragging rights and enjoyment. Are you saying that we should all suffer solely because of the 8 teams in pro league that have a chance at money? If you limit solo Q only to unranked, then I can guarantee you that nobody will play ranked any longer and there goes the whole leagues idea. Who wants to be farmed all day while they can just hop into unranked and get a fair match instead?

Bit weird how the pro leagues start weeks before the normal leagues, really hope that this means that they’re going to take the ingame infrastructure seriously. Surely we’re not going to be waiting for a month longer, after whatever sense of HoT hype has diminished, just to go back to the same old broken queue system that prioritises “play with any number of friends!!!” over fair and competitive matches…. right? How could leagues possibly be an indicator of individual skill if that’s the case?

I really don’t get the whole “no reason to pvp.” If your not having fun playing the game, you should quit and go do something else. Leaderboards are shallow rewards that are their to give you some incentive to get better at the game, not the whole justification for playing.

No reason to play?

How about to have fun?

If you don’t enjoy pvp then don’t pvp. You’re probably one of those that go afk when the team gets down by a few points.

I can’t even be bothered to explain to people who are like ‘The reason is to have fun’ – It’s such a ‘I play 2 matches a month’ response…

I am with u collero, on every point! Reading posts in PVP forum that obviously come from guys with no or very little pvp exp is hilarious! Just havent given up hope yet for a possible fix with the league system, or a comeback of the solo arena

Well I don’t have 10,000 matches played but I play much much more than 2 a month.

And I find it fun to play.

I find it sad that you play for any reason but fun.

I hate when people dismiss issues by just saying “play for fun”. People wouldn’t be going out of there way to complain about the infrastructure of the game that they’ve been playing for years if they didn’t find the combat to be the least bit enjoyable.

The point is that it would be much more fun and engaging if the systems had better, fairer matchmaking and gave a stronger sense of prestige.

Just imagine mixed SoloQ and TeamQ in LoL…

Oh and can you update and ellaborate more on the community tournament page. Specifically ESL Sundays because I thought there were going to be a tourney last weekend but there wasn’t.

I eventually have to set which days I want off for my new job so please try to keep a fixed schedule for tourneys.

This.

Sadly they need at least a month to balance all the garbage they ladled into this game with HoT.

No one said not to complain. And no one is dismissing issues. When someone says they have no reason to play that means they don’t find it enjoyable. It’s that simple.

I find it hard to listen to people who contradict themselves by saying they have no reason to pvp, then come back and say they do have a reason to. Then insult others who disagree with them. Have some respect for others around you and maybe you will get more in return.
