They just announced in another thread that they would add a feature to allow guilds to purchase private servers. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/How-to-rent-a-pvp-server/first#post57482
What’s wrong with switching weapons mid-game if I have them in my bag? Are you saying I can’t be prepared to tackle any situation and everyone should blindly guess at what their opponents will be using??
You have 5 minutes to get ready before the match starts, it is your own fault if you didn’t think of possible things you’ll go against and have a balanced comp around it.
Allowing weapon swapping at any time of the game just becomes a blind guessing of what is your enemy bringing next and brings up a lot more issues related to combo fields/finishers.
I agree with DeathbyCactus.. Are you all suggesting that a ‘’leave it by chance’’ would be a solution for tournaments? Are you suggesting the old Random Arenas in Guild Wars 1 ? oh.. or is it the pre-match preset builds that you could wiki online and spam it on a character until it works? Are you all above familiar with the pvp system in Guild wars 1 ?
Weapon changing is a way of managing your skills differently in each situation. If there where pre-set builds you would only play in blind and some builds would always be a favorite. This would create a huge instability in the game balance. (pvp hammer-warriors in the good old GW).
All these where checked and balanced. That is the point of PvP in GW2. To have many possibilities and opportunities to face any situation. That makes the system balanced.
It’s pretty obvious to me that this is unintended.
Hell currently you can leave a tournament match to rejoin with another character.
So what? If you change a character mid-game, that will erase your score on the current game tablet and you will have to start over just as entering a new game. So what’s the difference. In order to win, all team players need to contribute points. (tournaments are the only thing that you can gain from the team win). The only thing you can win personally is the Glory and Rank points which are calculated through your character contribution through the current match. Changing character will sacrifice that points but would also help you gain some if you feel that the character you currently play is unable to stand on the score table. So even if you have the opportunity, is it worth it ?
I’m not talking about what you would gain by exploiting that fact, I’m talking about if they oversighted such a thing, there’s an high chance weapon swapping out of combat was unintended aswell.

Agreed, gear swapping ingame should be disabled in tournaments, this is unacceptable in a game that aims to becom an Esport.
Not really no, as a guardian I have no trouble surviving 2 enemies until help comes my way. You also need to know what you’re fighting, for example a GS warrior relies on his bull charge/hundred blades combo to bring down his enemies most of the time, knowing how to avoid that is a big part of surviving, there’s no pure tank in this game.
If you want a challenge at 80 start doing one of the many explorable mode dungeons, still 5 man content though.
This, I really want some answers to this, I don’t see myself playing GW2 in the long run if these things are not implemented, while I feel private rentable servers are secondary, a ranking systeam is mandatory for any sort of pvp community to form.
You can’t have good people crushing newbies forever, good people will get bored of the lack of competition, newbies will be frustrated by not having a fair chance at the game.
