Guild Wars 2

I have checked the tournament browser many times in the last 2 days. Every time it says there is either no teams registered or just 1. And no upcoming, no in progress, and no completed tournaments.

I tried joining a team (I don’t understand the UI, I just clicked create roster and then it added me to an existing one). 5 people are in it.. what happens next?

Are there really 7 more empty teams that need filling before it can start? How is it possible that in all of the servers in GW2 there are only 5 players who want to do a tournament?

It’s part of our monthly and we have 6 days left, you’d think people would be trying to get them done now.

Also, what happens if/when all teams do get ready? Do we warp there? Or is there a menu that says “is everyone ready?”. If I go into a quick match, will it cancel the party or pull me out to take part in the tourny?

Sign up for a free tournament, you’ll get matched with other people. When there’s enough teams, you’ll get a popup message saying that you can enter the map. You click on “Go Now” and you’ll get teleported there. The match will start 3 minutes after that popup.
Between matches you can go do anything, and when the next match is ready you’ll be able to teleport there and play.

I thought the interface was intuitive enough. :\

how is it saying “2/8 teams” and then a tournament happens? What about the other 6?

Are there tournaments happening but it just doesn’t show them?

The first one I did had 3 people to start. And then another joined. Of course we lost..

The next had a player just stand at the start the whole time. How does it even start without equal teams?

And why are the people in the roster different from the people who I end up playing with?

I’ve noticed this too. Every thing works according to planned. Maybe it’s a bug

That 2/8 you see are the teams registered on your server, not in total.

Right, how intuitive.

I wish there was a way to make guild-only tournaments separate from PUG ones. PUG have no chance against guilds. It makes it very easy for those who already play, and very hard for newcomers to get involved.

And I don’t get why it starts the match without equal numbers of people on the teams. That boggles my mind.

The names you see on the roster are the account names, not the character names. :/

Tournaments will start when there’s enough teams for the tournament. If someone from your roster goes AFK while waiting for the match to start, or disconnets for whatever reason, or is simply trolling, then you’re gonna have to play one man down. Hopefully they’ll add a “report AFK” button someday and the possibility to replace a missing member with another player.
