Guild Wars 2

Currently the game is single elimination style. Making it as SAtaarcoeny suggested or Double elimination isn’t a huge change. There are many different styles of brackets and ways to run a tournament. I’m glad they stuck with they most typical style at first, because the game is new. But I’m sure with all the positive feedback of this post Anet is sure to be doing some internal testing of some new styles; hopefully something that will promote the most game play.

Issue with the Suicide button: The amount of Stabs will be so minimal. If you can suicide there will be no epic battles over a rez because there is a good chance once its off CD they will use it. I mean i think everyone has been downed once or twice and have your whole team do some amazing moves to keep you alive and rez you. If a suicide button was implemented there would be no more epic fights over downing… people would just give up and kill themselves. And i don’t think giving up is the right answer. Yes, we all hate when we get bled out and get that 20sec rez timer and just late for another fight. But nothing feels better than deciding to hold a node (cause no one else will) and winning that 1v1or 1v2 and punishing them just a little more for thinking they had a chance. Yes i think downstate might need some tweaking just to make the penalty of trying to stay alive a bit less. But i don’t agree that giving up on the chance that one of my team members might go out of their way to get a rez on me.

If nothing else, The first time I down someone and finish the stomp and my Wolf Banner isn’t placed firmly in their sternum because they decided to suicide right before it landed. I’m stabbing a flag thru my screen.

Say No to suicide (button)

You can submit a roster with any amount of players. So your group of 3 can join and be assigned 2 random pugs and do the tourney.

This may be a shot in the dark, but I think this is a fair solution to the problems in hotjoin PVP (8v8).

If the games only allowed 5 characters on the map at the same, Yet still allowed 8 people per team into the server. So when you die you get put into the alternate pool and the one who was in the pool the longest would be released. This would solve the “Zergy” feel to hotjoins due to never having 8 people running around the map at once. When you die you just wait a minute or two until there is another death. This would only be implemented when both teams are completely full.

Yes there may be some issues with your team not dieing and you not getting out in the right order; but i think having alternates may bring something to the casual feel of hotjoins now. Gives you a minute or two to look over your new spec, seeing where your help is needed, never feeling bad about afking or leaving during a game cause there is someone there to replace you, and who knows might work well with a spectator mode.

Just an idea, may be outlandish due to how coding works or something. But I think this is the best, simplest idea to change the hotjoins around. Ideas?
