Guild Wars 2

In my opinion, WvW Season 1 was one of the best things that has happened to this game.

Any plans for Season 2?

You missed it.

Tournaments were terrible. It drove large amounts of guild migrations due to the division lock-outs, directly contributed to the glicko isolation that occurred between NA tiers, and caused a lot of burn-out amongst the playerbase.

“WvW’s Big Update

As our competitive game director John Corpening discussed, we’re currently working on a large-scale overhaul to WvW that helps deal with core issues like population balance, scoring, rewards, and the need for 24-hour coverage.

We’ve focused a heavy amount of developer resources on this overhaul for WvW, and the team has been working hard for over a year now to solve these complicated issues. We may not be ready to reveal more in early 2016, but you’ll have an opportunity to get all the details and give feedback when we go into the beta phase of this massive project later this year. And as a brief reminder: WvW tournaments are currently on hold, but they’ll return once we’ve released this new format for WvW."

Oh the glicko cliffs were well established before the tourneys ever came.

I member it not that same way. It was great frackup, my server got bootyblasted so hard it wasn’t even funny. S2 was no better.

Since then they have given up on the WvW big overhaul apparently and said that it would be released in “small chunks”. The irony being that 2016 is coming to an end and barely anything was done besides adding skirmishes. So at this pace you won’t see any Tournament before Half Life 3 is out.

Season 2 already happened.

I’ve said this in another post…but this is like trying to make a Turkey dinner with Tofu.

Tournaments will never happen without the right ingredients for a Competitive game mode that supports & encourages the existence of healthy communities in the Long Term…imho

Current WvW lacks the following:

1. Rock Solid Team Identities (see NFL franchise for example)
2. Fair Match-Ups even when it’s unbalanced
3. Score & Point System with Integrity

Fix the above…then you’ll see that having Tournaments will become possible again.

See below signature for a better recipe for WvW…imho
