Tournys Don't Pop
Well, paid tournaments are dead and free tournaments offer no rewards whatsoever. So yeah, you try and motivate me to play
need to basically copy dota2/lol exactly. teams are formed based on ELO-like rating, tournament begins. #1 team gets QP points, then proceed to live tournaments. ditch paids. ditch spvp (replace with custom arenas). once majority of players stop playing 8v8, many balance problems will recede into the background until theyre tackled properly.
im praying new system is something like this =) key is to not fragment population like it is currently (majority in spvp, some in frees, and next to none in paids).
Normally you get plenty of people doing pvp just by having it be fun.
Really need deathmatch or a tie in for PvE chars. MMO players like developing chars and have them do PvP for rewards even if minor…. GW1 had at least a little reason to do PvP like RA, you could get z-keys that you could sell or get gear from.
well mystic forge needs an entire revamp. if we dont get it in the spvp update, id be really surprised.
I waited over and hour this morning to get into a tourney, and this on a holiday. Then when the tourny finally started we were 3v4, but we still won the first match. Then it was 3v5.
Tourneys dont pop because casuals are the base of any pvp game, and casuals don’t like doing tourneys since there is no match making so they face premades a lot then stop queuing. And on the reverse, good teams don’t like stomping pugs and also stop queuing. So all you are really left with is bad premades who enjoy stomping pugs because it makes them feel good.
