Guild Wars 2

what time is map change? are we still changing maps?

God I hope they arent going to now give us a new map for a whole kittening week again. Change it every day or every other day until they can drag someone away from pve to code random map rotations.

One thing we need to know ! im sorry to say this but removing paid = removing competion , removing competition = no pvp , no pvp = no more life for pvper , no more life for pvpers = no more communauty

At least if you dont give us kind of a challange yet give us a chance to have a map rotation with luck 1 chance out of 5 for every tournament map plz plz plz that would be the best

random map when you que wath would be a better dream then that !

Have faith we were told that the ratings are being calculated now and “would be visable before the march patch and sooner then expected”

so that will bring more competitiveness then QP

Should happen shortly.

Nuuuuuuu! I wantz Spirit Watch in 2-team tourney!

ah thanks god but theyr is no random map system yet thx anet to listen to player

So no more spirit watch…. Now over and over the same BORING AND OLD map, bring random maps or keep spirit watch at least that was new… temple is so boring, spirit was the closest to a TDM capture the flag we ever had it even made me go back again to sPvP after a few months now i guess i wont be steeping there again in a while.

hharry.1967:

temple is so boring

I doubt it was even originally designed as a 5v5 map. I stopped having fun with 1 round tourny’s and 3 round tourny’s take way too long to queue. Next weeks map should be better.

I know right, it just seems like it was made for hot joins, too big, too much running around wasting time. I really enjoyed spirit watch because it was small and ofc the CTF component of it added a really nice flavor.

Yep. Temple has nice secondary mechanics but it’s waaaay tooooo big :/

I was in queue for over an hour for an 8 team today.

This game is dead ;_;

The problem is more like during the day we have no other continents to fill up the work-time space. That’s because NA and EU is seperated. And a level down you have 30 different servers, where ppl are spreaded and can’t chat with each other. If you would have one big server this would never happen.

Add gems to rewards, people will que for it.

People follow the money.

It was never a problem three months ago. Frees would pop 8-a.m. to 2-a.m instantly. Now they can’t even pop during prime time.

Seriously, the game is dying. I want to queue for 8 man tourneys. I can’t because they won’t pop.

Wait for the announced patch. As I heard and as the dev in this thread said, they working on things and I think they work on absolutely the right things.
And as I heard from many pvp-guilds/players, they make a break till the patch will come out. This could be the problem that at the moment this game is emtier then before.

8 teams don’t pop because everyone is in the 2 team ones, which are better by far. Firstly, spirit watch is a better Mel then the rest and not done to death, faster que times and better rewards and less time commitment.

It’s simple really. I haven’t qued an 8 team match in months and like many others, probably don’t plan to.

I think after 7 days with spirit watch, everyday, for many ppl the 3-round tournament got interesting again. Even when the reward is zero.

Dunno why they don’t post this here in the forums, where ppl can see it.

nothing in that says it will be ready before the march patch. sataar just trolling as usual. all it says is rolled out in stages as part of its own update and “soon”.

It also says nothing about VISIBLE ratings and just that it will be a top 100 leaderboard.

How are the rewards increased? I heard 750 glory for 1st place. Or is there more?

A date is not mentioned as you can read (obviously a troll here). But they called it to be on top of their priority list. And now pls tell me why a leaderboard is not visible for you?
Today must be troll day in the forums…god

heh, this your first pvp game? Leaderboard = rank. Rank =/ Rating.

All this sounds like to me is you will see who is ranked 1-100 but that’s all.

You won’t know what the actual rating is for anyone. So someone who is rank 100 will have no clue how far they are from rank 1 without visible rating, which is never mentioned in the article.

i.e in WoW they had leaderboard (you are rank 9) and visible rating (2395 personal rating) so you could see ok, rank 1 is 2400 i’m only 5 points away. Having a leaderboard without visible rating is lame and lazy.

We also still have no clue how rating is even calculated if it is not a straight up skill based rating and has a time played variable it will be even lamer. Based on what we have seen so far with “paid” systems and QPs I have absolutely zero faith this will be a legit ranking system.

I think they won’t just put names from 1 to 100 down on a list without any indicator. That would make absolutely no sense. Same for QP list. Mabye you follow the forum a bit better.
And for you, as a pvp-progamer: It allrdy exists a rating for players, which is based on win/loss ratio. So for you, this ratio or whatever A-Net is using to calculate the individual rating is not existing and can’t be shown in a form of a number??? Are you serious? Today must be really troll day.

What do you think the rankings of the leaderboard is going to be based off of? Glory Rank? No. QPs? No. It is going to be based off of rating, while it probably wont be visible, in this march patch, leaderboards also might not come out with the March patch.

There is no established date to release leaderboards so it could come in an April Patch, and then they might make ratings visible. Makes sense to me, they do that all in the same.

dont you guys expect visible rating or leaderboards soon…They are like 3 ppl working in the pvp section and they have no idea what they are doing…Just testing things still.Its ok to be carefull and go thinks step by step but every step must be steady and forward.Introducing paids,removing paids,insert rating,not visible…thats ridiculous.i cant understand why they are doing it.I i were them i would say clear and strong..“No rating guys,im still working it..No,im not gonna put paid and then remove it,paids are here to stay,i will just work on them to be better”“ele are op and im trying to fix em or ele arent op guys learn to play against them”
Straight and clear answers.In SOTG none of the major simple issues are adressed…Just all around conversations and yes-no-maybe answers

Ok preview for march is out and…again nothing mentioned about pvp related content. Just this living story pve crap. I start to think they laugh that some of us still believe they would restructure their resources on pvp content =/.

^ They do their updates differentely. This is just a hint on the living story stuff. More stuff will come and the page will be updated throughout march.

Q does pop…if you have an hour to spare.

And then another half hour to actually play through the tournament.

i never said they promised. its ppl like you who make it so they can never give public information you twist around everything they say and then you get mad if its not exactly when you imagined it would be.

but i do expect it before the march update and thats the reason we are still playing.

Anet big congratulations!!! Best idea since Release!!!

bro you are the one who said they are quoted as saying it would be out before march patch. YOU, you completely made up that quote and im just putting you in your place. all you do is troll and make kitten up. You are the reason for this, not me.

or did you already forget the kitten you made up earlier in this thread here let me re-quote yourself.

we were told that the ratings are being calculated now and “would be visable before the march patch and sooner then expected”

got a link to that made up quote? of course you dont, just like you always post made up stuff like “Anet told me they would post in my thread”, and they never do lol, please get banned again.

edited so i dont get a infraction. just know teams are playing hard now to build ratings for a reason.

im no longer replying to ppl if they are negative.

We changed up the 8-Team tournament rotation at the same time, and also increased the 8-Team Glory & Rank rewards.

8-team does not and will not work. not enough population. save it for a weekly/monthly tournament format, or you risk fragmenting the pop further. hotjoin is doing that already.

Are you guys kittening serious? You guys are kittening idiots, ToTSS is literally the best spvp map, its the only one that you cant win by turtling 2 points…kittening idiots…It takes more time to get around Niflhel and Khylo than it does on Temple. You guys are just spouting out dumb garbage, stfu until you know what you are talking about.

it works and without ticket cost i support it. would be even better if we could q up for 8 team while we do 2 team

^^^This

People that don’t understand what makes 8-team so great would rather spam 2-team tournies because they are tired of waiting for 8-teams and losing round one anyways. So they just do 2-teams since its the same thing with a shorter queue hahahaha.

OK my way of viewing the future of pvp. First we need a open server i mean like Hall of hero international server in guildwars 1 . Secondly we whant reward that usefull and nice ( skin and kitten ) . Third , we whant competition ( QP , elo point , win loose ration ) wathever you whant but competition . Schedualed competition ( weekly , monthly and yearly tournament ) with spectator mode . Fourth we whant a communauty ( ban ppl that cryyy plz or kitten about ppl ). fifth (that will never happen) an intra game communication system (VOIP ) like in call of duty .

If you can get all this within the end of the year 100% sure you will have millions of player comming back to pvp and loving it !

That the message of OP raph for the win

take those issues for yourself and make watherver you whant with it !

but i think most of ppl would enjoy this content

I know you guys are open minded and do what ppl do like so if ppl like my idea maybe you will do it :P!

I’m only trying to give my opinions in a constructive context you don’t have to agree with me. I said I doubt, not that it was. I wasn’t doing paids months ago so if the ToTSS map was in paids before than I’m wrong, sorry. If I would rather play a different map I can either use the hotjoins, or 3 round until the map changes in a week.

Wouldn’t you want to be able to play on ToTSS next week? Like I said I wasn’t doing tourny’s on the old system with tickets so if this is the same system than I understand now. Maybe this is better than a random map generator since you’re able to build the meta around the map.

Why you update tourny rewards but dont read or reply to sticky threads about your players receiving no rewards?

appreciate the new rotation and the better rewars on 3-round tournaments. Yesterday there was a significant increase of teams that were playing tournaments.

We get bored of the same map, can’t be helped. The increase in rewards for 3-round was a nice boon to get people into the rotation there.

I wonder if Anet has numbers that showing that pvp population is increasing…
