some people might remember the ticket tournaments from headstart that were removed at some point.
overall it was an interesting system with certain flaws in it
what i suggest are ingame tournaments that take place on certain weekdays only at a specific time, for example on mondays and fridays at 8pm.
in a special menu a “participate” button will be availlable for a couple of minutes to sign up with your team.
every teammember will have to pay an entry fee of maybe 10g. a team must consist of 5 players.
8 teams will participate in a tournament and if one tournament is full, a second, third etc will be generated.
i don’t know what the gw2 engine can handle but if possible the semi/finals will be bo3 matches. if this is not possible all matches will be single elimination.
as reward the first second and third places will get glory, the old pvp currency but with a new purpose:
glory can be spent at a special glory vendor for various things:
the 3 currently unobtainable pvp sets
glorious hero armor
glorious hero weapons (needs to be made)
new titles
new finishers
trophies that can be sold for gold
gift of exploration (for a good amount of glory)
the entry fee would act as a gold sink, mmr would affect the team matchups and maybe there should be a pvp rank entry requirement (or something else) so that unexperienced players dont get farmed by stronger teams or alt accounts or when the mmr failed :P
feel free to point out concerns or add new ideas
