Guild Wars 2

The league system is a huge opportunity for PvP to flourish, I think everyone can see that. But Anet will only have 1 chance to make this work – if this turns out to be too forgiving, grindable or exploitable then rewards will lose value forever and entering the “Legendary” divison will become yet another entry-level thing like rank 80 instead of becoming a prestigious, long term goal. Many people are concerned about this already.

If titles and other rewards get handed out in a flawed or too casual system then it can no longer be fixed, the damage will be done. Forever.

Please let your playerbase give you feedback before it’s too late, as we, the players just want to see leagues succeed as much as any of the developers.

For these reasons I think we’d deserve to know all the details about divisions, the pips (for instance how many can we gain/lose in a given situation), matchmaking, etc. to be able to discuss it and possibly, together, point out a couple of things that might need polishing before release.

An entire beta week for league testing would also be great.

I personally only have one question: Will this be separated between solo and team queue.

If yes? I’m definitely interested in learning more and hearing about everything that leagues have to offer

If no? I won’t particularly care about leagues anyway.

I have to agree. If there are exploits like running a pre-made in hotjoin or it’s based simply on time played the league thing will lose credibility.

At this point I don’t bother to pay much attention to betas or press announcements in any case. I’ll believe what I see in-game.

In my opinion they should have plenty of times to change how Leagues work in between Seasons. It’s not like a fixed system. They can eventually add Division descent (something they said currently Leagues don’t have) or to change how matchmaking works. Hell, even the “pip” gain system based on Win % predictions!

One thing I have to agree with, if first season with Leagues fails in some way (and it will do, not because I don’t trust ANet, but because they have never released any kind of this systems and they need to learn) I know that players will be so obfuscated that they won’t provide valuable feedback to improve it.

So yeah, in the end I also agree completely with the thread’s title! It’d be nice to hear more from ANet about Leagues.

Yeah, we need some CDI or something like that because you know Leagues. i bet, my Mice has more Clicking lifespan than everyone else.
