Guild Wars 2

We had two PvP missions this week, 8,000 rank points in 30 minutes and 2 wins in 40 minutes.

We form a team, queue up, and I wait until the queue pops before activating the mission (but before we go in to the match of course).

First match is stronghold against another guild team. We win, but it goes the full 15 minute timer. With 5 members we’re still a few hundred rank points short of the goals.

We decide to take stronghold out of the mix, it can be very fast, but it can also be very slow. In queue again for a few more minutes, and we’re facing another guild team on Khylo. We lost this one, but it shouldn’t matter, we only needed a few hundred rank points … except too late. This match went on for nearly 13 minutes. That plus the queue time (and the wasted three minutes waiting for people to ready up) cost us the mission.

We did eventually get both missions done, but we could/should have had it done earlier.

So here’s my idea … get rid of the timer completely or make it so long you practically have (i.e. 24 hours). Instead make it within a certain number of matches. For example the two missions we had this week would become …

• Earn 8,000 rank points within 2 matches.
• Earn 2 wins within 3 matches.
