Guild Wars 2

i think current Team arena is not enough rewarding to players who take a lot of effort to communicate and win. 50 more rank points for win compered to solo arena is nothing.

I havean idea to improve pvp experience.

Imagine Team Arena is a tournament of 8 teams. For first place you need to win three rounds one after another. If you win two games, u get second place. Reward must be good enough to lure best players for best experience.
First place chest reward is minimum 3X 150rank/glory points + 3X 50 (or more) – same as current team arena reward. However u get only one chest so it is like 5 items in it. To be more rewarding it should give chance for upper-rank item. Just small chance, like 5-10%. It would be great. It would give good feeling every time u open chest.

Another idea is to let ppl spactate Team Arena. This would be crazy!

PS
pvp change to insta slavage item is much appreciated.

Actually this is very similar to the way the game launched. It didn’t work too well because the first couple rounds were usually blowouts. There were also “paid” tournaments, which were supposed to have only high-tier teams in them, but it was too difficult to get 8 good teams in the same queue. So they usually just queued in the free tournaments and crushed everyone.

Spectating team arena would be very easy to exploit. Just have a sixth person in voip spectating the match; suddenly you know everything the other team is doing.

1. Dont know what u mean by blowouts, but i think lunch format was very good. In 8 team tournament, best team wins, weak teams are eliminated fast.
2. I do not recommend goin for “paid” tournaments. i recommend goin for team arena tournament.
3. Greater reward in comparison to solo arena will make best teams compete in team arena.
4.well made spectate mode for team arena can work great. i can see it work without any exploits. for ex lock spactating player from speaking or sth

1. A “blowout” means a match that’s not close at all. For example, if team Car Crash beats a pickup group of rank ~15 players, they’ll win something like 500-30. That’s a blowout, and they are very common when you put 8 random teams together.

2. I was just explaining the old system.

3. The best teams already compete in team arena.

4. Umm…how can GW2 lock a spectating player from speaking? I’m sorry but I have no idea what you’re talking about here.

i think team arena tournament 8 teams 3 rounds will fix current blowout situation. Now there is only one round and best teams can always get weak teams in theory. In tournament version, best team will always face other best team out of 8. At least in theory.
