There is a bug in the system, please get on this ASAP. Time is wrong and there is a network error.
I agree with everyone Raytek says and urge people to read my solution to this problem:

They could easily still make it count the type of tournament that the user intended. It’s not like those records mean anything yet anyways. This is not a design about feelings it’s about putting grease on the wheels of the engine.
Essentially the design is this, there is a mechanic which will allow a free tournament group to play Paid ques so that ONE paid NA/EU (so 2 total) is always popping. The team that gets decided is favored by group size, so a 5man queing for free might actually get a free ride to paid. This would fix a lot of the matchmaking issues in the meantime. It would make it exciting to queue up again for a lot of unflavored (casual/bad/whatever you call it) teams. It would fix the off hour queues by essentially giving a few people the chance to experience paid. This mechanics only kicks in when there isn’t one paid rotation on each region. It fills the gaps and rewards the players. Make it happen chop chop.
A lot of respect to the developers and the designers who created this game. Hopefully you like my design and can see the great benefits it would bring to your game. Feel free to have it as your idea!
Just add ranked single match and ranked tournament.
Hi Jon Peters and developers,
I just received this bug during a hotjoin. I couldn’t tell you the conditions that caused this bug but it sounds like a race condition, GW2 sounds like it isn’t entirely thread safe and new code needs to be thread safe or else extremely randomly frustrating user experience. This has been the third time this kind of major glitch has ruined an otherwise solid patch. Hotfix it ASAP!
Hopefully the patch soon adds 10 man servers.
Put the servers into groups by timezone/region and consolidate into bigger Heart of the Mists servers.

What we want: 7/8 PAID QUES, BAD TEAMS QUE UP QUICK. 24/7
The community in each server should feel “big”, big enough that there should be enough teams on one server to coordinate a Paid tournament together. Why is it that on Friday night at 10:00pm EST there is only 2/8 Paid in the que on NA.
I bet if there was a bigger population of players in the mists, people would pug paid tournaments. I only know so many people from each server. I don’t want to transfer all the time, it’s a pain. We shouldn’t have to “pay” to be social and build the community that is smaller than the pve one by a large margin.
Right now all we have are groups like iPuG, and /r/gw2esports, #gw2ringer and ingame contact list, friends, and our teams/guilds.
You could even stick the current WvWvW group into one Heart server, that would be awesome. A dynamic community.
Thank you Jon, developers, and ANet for such a great game. We are looking forward to your work on the mid month patch.
Please move the point from the water to the cannon and put the cannon on the ship. Move those elixers to the water or make it a 25 point bonus or something.
This will make it a forward push map and it will be very fun.
Saw this kitten last night.
Randomly crashing all the time like 3 times a match, is this part of the new meta? What can we do to have this HOTFIXED ASAP. How can you release paid tournaments when games crash 3 times a match? Inb4: if ur good youll still win
A game designed for open PvP can be fantastic.
However, a game designed for PvE with PvP in set zones, which then has PvP enabled everywhere in some last-minute PvP server will almost certainly be awful.
Pretty much every other pvp server in all other mmorpgs that werent designed with this mindset from the beginnings.
All the lore needs is to have a cutscene where everyone backstabs each other and then have ONE SERVER where its like this. Technically they really only need 3 servers for this to work. 6 if they want to have EU and NA regions. It’s not as easy as a switch in the code, but as a smaller addition down the road, is this something planned?

Each race could be a faction, just make that treaty never happen and then you have the conditions for a open world pvp game.
Guilds can then create they’re own factions and alliances. It’s only limited by the devs imagination.
The playerbase wants to know, why no open world pvp?
You would think that a game with 5 races, a world vs world system, an arena style pvp system, plus a down-scale leveling system would have one PvP server where you could attack mostly everybody while leveling. Many successful games have done this, and this game is lacking it in all aspects. Even if it was something really simple or basic, there should be a server where the PvE leveling has an element of PvP to it.
I think the ideal system would be a mashup of a lot of features that already exist in the game.
I know this type of server would be amazing for a lot of people. I’ve picked that style of server in many games: UO, WoW, SwToR, (I know many more have existed and I have tried many, EVE, Darkfall, even Runescape had open world pvp) and it is missing from this game. The WvW is pretty fun but I don’t want to level my character in a zergfest, I still want to quest and have to run from and kill players. The server can be extremely cut throat too, we do not care about pvp blocking progress in this server. Seriosuly ANet, why the complete lack of server style? Guild Wars 2 should of also been the ultimate open world pvp game.
Its like an exploit from the sounds of it. Loading Screen Stomp, and they admit to knowing about it. Anet is trolling the pvpers.

Ah Patch 1.2. Now here is a true example of what we don’t want with Guild Wars 2.
It makes sense to me why ANet would go down this path, and from a F2P MMO model why this is a good choice for ANet and it’s players. And for clarification it will cost in-game Gems which are purchasable with real money or Gold which is earned by playing the kitten game.
eSports will thrive because elite private servers will emerge and people will prepare for the next sPvP patch. Guild Wars 2 will probably grow as a game because the guys that come back to try it after dominating are now caught up in the meta.
Another idea for this map:
1. Move the cannon to the ship.
2. Make the platform the 3rd point.
3. Turn the ruins into a bonus of some sort, maybe 25 points.
This would be a great team fight map.
TL:DR: Turn the water into bonus objective points and move the capture point to the land.
One thing I noticed about my feelings is that since I only paid $60 bucks and this game has lasted me a month, I already feel like I got my moneys worth. I am not pressured into paying another $15 to hold onto my gear, rank, and consumables. However, if it doesn’t come in reasonable time people will move on and maybe only look back when the next thing fails to captivate them. Although some people are saying that they were buying an eSport game, but the game is clearly not ready for eSport yet.
It’s about to be October, maybe they should get a PTR or something. I bet they have a lot of changes already added in.
Hi I read a few days ago that a PvP blog post containing information about updates would be released very soon. Maybe I missed it? Can someone paste me what the blog post said? Thanks.
