Guild Wars 2

Can we have at least a seperate queue time figure for stronghold, because the current average value is misleading. I end up waiting for 10 minutes at times, while initially thinking its only going to last for a couple of minutes.

It must be rather low on the priority list, but hey .. would still like to see it happen.

Please refer to it as Minionhold!

If there was a Stronghold Tournament at the same level as Pro League, people would care about it more.

I think people just find the game mode annoying. Teams stack minion masters and it becomes an AI slug fest. Long and boring.

Pff, those 5 minion mancers would have to be extremely kitten and the team they are fighting would have to be mediocre for them to pose a real threat. Sure they’d be annoying but, those guys are annoying in every game mode. I’d actually say they are more annoying in Conquest than in Stronghold. A good group of players can out-manuever them, making them look like fools for playing minions. A group of Trap rangers would pose a bigger threat.

No…good players can “outmaneuver” minion mancers in conquest because they get locked down and have no real utility skills. Why would you want to rotate out of a fight with a minion mancer? :P

MM work in SH though because larger teamfights are rare (so team focus w/lockdowns don’t occur as much) and because so much of the DPS is focused on NPC’s (doorbreakers, guards) rather than on the players, so the “focus the necro” conquest mantra isn’t usually applied. This allows the poison fields from all the dead minions shred the doorbreakers.
