Guild Wars 2

Looking specifically for a dev response on this question. Would it be possible to do something that would allow us to see who we are facing before we enter the game? The random matches are messing with our pre-reset prep work a bit. It’s not like we need a ton of time, we would just appreciate 1 or 2 minutes to make sure our guilds can properly fulfil their assignments.

We like to make sure we have an appropriate combination of guilds entering our homeland to form a defense, and if we have to wait until the matches post and are open to enter then we run the risk of not being able to field the right combo.

Could we do something like closing the matches 5 minutes early (5:55 server time instead of 6:00pm), then calculating as normal, posting matches when they are calculated, and then actually opening the matches at the same time they would normally be opened – 5 minutes later? That way we just have that couple minutes to know what color home is for defensive assignments, and where to send the attack squads, before we all queue the wrong BL’s and then can’t swap.

Already stated they don’t know the matchups until it resets and starts a new week. Too lazy to find the post but yeah, not gonna happen.

Better idea is to stop doing this RNG garbage and give players what they actually asked for.

Players just wanted it to be less “tier-breaking” to progress from one tier to the next. Before, it required one server to smash their tier while a server in the tier above collapsed.

All players wanted was for this process to be “compressed” or “reduced” to the point that servers could rise and fall easier.

Instead we got this hopped up mutant of a system.

Can we not make this about the RNG system? Simple question… can we do something to start the matches, but not let people enter the BL’s for just a couple minutes at reset?

I’m not asking to know in advance who I’m fighting, I’m just asking if we can let the process run its course, but freeze entry for a brief time. And if needed we compensated by stopping the previous match a couple minutes early – then people would be playing by the same time they normally would anyways.
