Guild Wars 2

From January 28—February 4 the regular eight-team/three-round paid tournaments will be replaced by two-team/single-round paid tournaments in the Temple of the Silent Storm map. After the week is over, we’ll add Temple of the Silent Storm to the regular rotation of both free and paid tournaments.

So my question is, what should we expect to see as our prizes for winning, or losing these 2 team tournies? Will the winner get gold & 120 gems and the loser, silver & 80 gems? Or will the loser just get a bronze chest as if they actually placed 5th-8th. Anyone have any idea how this is going to work?

It will be a lesser reward. They should give the team who lost a copper chest (similar to 5-8th place) and the winner get gold-chest with reduced reward (20 gems + 1 QP or smthin like that).

Defenitely interesting in how the match will be played in the tactical aspect, as it gets more complex with the 4 buffs appearing and the long range between nodes.

The fact that 6 tickets go in and a total of 200 gems coming out seems a little…ludacris.

It costs 60 (?) Gems to get 5 tickets right. 6 tickets are going in the pot. That means about 60 gems are going to be the total purse.

THey even SAID the prize pool was being decreased. expect something along this lines.

Use common sense…

Could you tell me where they said the prize pool was being decreased? Don’t see anything about that on the preview page.

Didn’t they say it’d be LESS tickets to join, but a lesser reward as compensation?

about what i expected, i was just praying for the higher rewards for personal gain and for paid tourny’s to actually be popular for a week. Ah well.

If they bring matchmaking with it (eg. comparing of ranks and especially QP’s) I think it will be pretty successful over time. Because you get teams together on the same level. Needs defenitely time so everyone see how much better this will be, especially for casual-players.

You call this interesting? I call this…portal mesmer’s fest.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Leave the map as it is, it can be ok…but get rid of those ridiculous buffs in tpvp or you’re going to get 2 bunkers and 3 mesmers in every single team.

Dunno how ppl can’t figure this out…

Well, kinda right. We will play with 2 mesmers, thief, ele, guard. But they announced to bring portals for other classes, so I would wait for the big update next month.
I would say a invis – thief with quickness caps way faster and more effective than a mesmer will do.
