Please reduce waiting times between tournaments.
It’s not exactly waiting time. It’s not put there to give you a break, you’re just waiting for the other teams to finish their game. If you win your first round 500-10 your match is obviously faster then the other “group” playing, so you have to wait for them to proceed to the second round along with you. That’s when R2 begins, and the “waiting time” is over.
Yep above poster is right, also on ur point about waiting times after joining a game, this should defo not be changed and here are some reasons why:
1. allows a teammate to afk if needed for a few mins and isnt gonna lose u the game as u need ur whole team to verify they are ready
2. allows u to scout out the other team, determine classes wep combos and trait/utility skills and then discuss tactics with ur team.
3. allows team players to join and scout as above and then return to mists and modify traits/utilities/runes etc before the match starts.
4. allows for trolling other team by equipping fake weps/traits and showing them ot the other team and then going to mists and switch before match (aka mindf**king ur opponents)
i personally use this as communication and scouting time but u can use it to be sneaky too, every little advantage can count in tPvP
1. 2min is more than enough to do/finish whatever just came up
you queued for a tournament, so be kitten ready
2 you’re neither supposed to know the enemies weapon combos nor are you supposed to talk tactics in the waiting period
by your argument you might aswell introduce a 30min waiting period so tactics might be gone through thoroughly
3 switching professions and builts is something clutch that arenanet has yet to fix but will soon come, again not supposed to be done
4 dumb
having a cumulative 30min wait period for 3 10min games where you basically brain afk random teams is idiotic
@Smackmybird: I’m not talking about that. I meant the 5 minutes of time until the tournament begins after both teams are already on the field.
I really don’t get why it’s set that high. 3 minutes would be enough to relog and rethink tactics (which are in my opinion also more dependent on the map than the enemies build).

If everyone presses ready, you get a 0 wait time.
4 is, imho, a design flaw and will hopefully be rectified by Anet. It shouldn’t be possible to switch to alts during countdown time and adapt your team to what you see in the other team. Changing skills, traits, weapons, sure, but changing the team setup? Naah.
Yes please!!!!!!!!!!! reduce this.. its far too much time wasting. I work the entire day and the few hours I got to play I see most of it wasted waiting an abusive timer.
For me it would be just 50 seconds( just to make sure everyone can load the game), but i understand it might be a little too drastic. So make it 2 mins like they said up there.
Please!!!

Yes but there’s always 1 or 2 dumb people that don’t press ready and then the rest of us are stuck waiting around. I work during the day and don’t want to spend all night waiting for some kitten to press the ready button so I can play. It’s a waste of my time that I could be spending playing the game.
