It counts the new rank. So if you’re rank 80 in the new system, you get 80 charges. If you’re rank 40 in the new system, you get 40 charges.

@Pyriall

The point of the tournament is for the best teams to win. Ideally, the best team will get first, the second best team will get second, the third best team will get third, and so on. However, in a single elimination tournament, those teams could face each other early on and knock each other out. Then the second best team might not get second. All that is guaranteed is that the best team will get first. If you seed the top eight teams, then at some point, if another team wants to place in the top eight, they’ll have to beat those teams at some point.

Yes, the best team will win. But nothing outside the tournament shouldn’t matter in deciding who has more right or who is the best. Take GW1 tournaments for example. EVERYONE was on equal foot, and during the tournament some good teams indeed did drop early because they faced other good teams. Did that make quarterfinals, semifinals, finals any less interesting? No. Every single match was very close and interesting, no matter who the teams were. All of that was achieved by a simple thing: fairness and equality for everyone. If you are good you will show it in the tournament. If you face a tough team and you lose, well what to say you don’t deserve to win, and you definitely don’t deserve top 8 or whatever. Who is to say you are “third best” team or whatever?

Should not blocking someone hide your status? I remember reading somewhere that it does.

Blocking someone doesn’t hide anything. Setting Invisible mode does.

Yes it does. When you block someone, that person’s friendslist shows you perma offline. They can’t see anything other than your account name then.

That is not true. They can actually see the location. Go test it…

AP, a real measurement of player ability?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Rezz.8019

Rezz.8019

AP means absolutely nothing. Some 3k AP players are better than 22k AP players, and the other way around. I have21k+ at the moment so I know what I’m talking about.. I think.

In fact, most of 6-10k AP players have proven to be better than high achievers. High AP players are mostly about grind and repeating dailies and spending all time on finding the most efficient and the easiest way to get all the achievements as fast as possible. However, those players with lower AP will just do content because they actually enjoy it, and they will be quite good at the parts of the game they enjoy the most.

Is this allowed?

You are using the wrong trademark, that’s what blizzard states.

ArenaNet states “When it’s ready”

Few months ago they changed their trademark from “When it’s ready” to “soon”. I think that’s a step in the right direction.

As long as the organizing decisions for this tournament will further the goal of accurately depicting which teams are the most legendary in descending order, then I am for it. Unfortunately, randomization of the last 56 teams per region is not the optimal choice.. but it could be worse.

And who is “most legendary” exactly? I don’t see how you deserve a chance more than me in any way.

You: talk a lot, friends with blu, friends with people who farm leaderboard and tourneys against most of the time easy opponents, have a team that is known by some people in NA prime time zone.

Me: GW1 top 50 GvG, R14HA, GWAMM, GW2 shark, all champion titles, ~99% games from tournaments and ~1% hotjoin, top level in all areas of the game. But I play during euro and asia time zone.

Anyway: what is YOUR criteria to decide which teams are “most legendary”?

EDIT: I still consider myself to have equal right as any other player to attend this tournament. No matter how experienced they are. All should be equal, just like in GW1.

Due to time constraints and fact that you thought you wouldn’t get this many applicants so you couldn’t organise a proper qualifier tourney in time I guess this is kind of ok.

But: it is completely unfaired that you make that biased decision and you play god and choose those 8 teams based on how much YOU like them. Make it fair and RNG everyone. If GF or your other friends don’t make it — well that’s RNG. Next time there will be better organisation and this situation won’t happen (I hope).

I do not accept that someone who is playing the same game as me, invested similar amount or less time in it, gets the exclusive privilege over me just because they are more social and all that stuff. Make it fair.

Some work was done to address this issue. Once the feature patch is released you will need to play a few matches in order for the achievement rank to match parity with your actual rank.

I think that these rewards are not good enough. I will be rank 80. I don’t care about 10 skelk kills every 15 minutes (can do way better in pve obviously), and leadebarod is just broken in this format.

How will you motivate me to play? Other than GW1 style tourneys and proper ladder and season that you must add!

Answer: be more creative with the rewards. Porous bones, globs of gobby goo and occasional t5 mat is not a good motivation.

Doing more dailies is not worthless. You get laurels each time. And there won’t be many people who will actually get to that cap of 10k. I think this change was necessary in order to make the ladderboard more competitive.

War Machine, Last Pride, Idiot Savants, vD, rawr etc. all had to fight their way up the same way other entrants did (by fighting oponents of similar skill), after all.

That’s fine. But for example: when you have War Machine VS. Last Pride in the first round of preliminaries, Last Pride VS. Idiot Savants in the second round of preliminaries, Idiot Savants VS. vD in the third round of preliminaries, ETC, there is a good chance that:

  • The finals will be a world class team, vs. an opponent who has no hope in keeping up.
  • Many teams who deserved to be 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th, were potentially eliminated early on by the 1st place team – meanwhile, people that are weaker would fill those positions, because their brackets were ridiculously devoid of good teams.

Seeding the brackets so the veteran teams are evenly spread out is definitely a positive to the quality of the tournament.

If they lost in first or second round then they did not deserve to be 2nd or 5th or whatever. And so what if first round would be 2 really good teams while second round might be a really good team against a pretty decent-average team? Does it matter? Why force only finals to be interesting when first rounds could be interesting too. And whoever gets that far to finals or semifinals will definitely not be a terrible team and they will put up a good fight.

Why don’t you guys just seed the teams like GF, Ngi etc and ensure they don’t fight each other in prelims until the top 16 or w/e.

Then you can have prelims where everyone gets a chance.

Why would they not fight each other? Who is to say that GF or Ngi are better than SW or June? I doubt they are. In fact, it would be most fair if they would fight each other as early in the tournament as possible instead of easily winning against all the newbies and get to finals easily. Why would they have a special treatment?

The fact that you’re relying on the leaderboards as a show of skill makes me cry on in the inside chaith. We know it’s broken, you know it’s broken. Just walk away from the idea. If this tournament has any potential of not becoming a kitten storm, then they need to have qualifiers. Simple as that. And if you’re argument is going to be something around the lines of, “well we can’t have qualifiers because we don’t have the people to manage it.” Then you shouldn’t have even announced a tournament to begin with. If you can’t do it right, then don’t even try.

Perfectly said. I completely agree with this, all of it.

Not trolling but maybe I didn’t think things through clearly. I get your point. But I also think it would be a shame if newbies come to the pvp and just get demoralised by being trashed 500-0 or by practicing and then being told that sorry they didnt get a place because they weren’t “known”.

In short, this tournament SHOULD cater to the casuals and newbies imo. It is what the game needs

I agree with this. And who is to say someone is known or not? I doubt he knows Karmy and his SW guildies, or June guild, or UC, or many, many others who definitely have a decent chance of beating everyone, including “known” teams.

Also, I believe that Anet guys would organise this much, much better. At least they are not teenagers and have way more experience with this. I hope they will get inspired and host the next one, properly.

But I still have hope that this one will work out. Let’s see if it will be what it was advertised to be or it will be some type of yet another boring invitational with same teams as always.

Rezz.8019

I want to point out that the main thing that was used to advertise this tournament was: “everyone has a chance to participate and win a legendary”.
There is nothing stating that newbies are not allowed in, that you must have a certain position on the leaderboard or that you have to be a “known” team (known to organizers). All suggestions so far are just aimed towards making this an invitational style tournament (either via position on the leaderboard or being known), but this should really be what it’s advertise for. Give everyone equal chance.

Also, you should be happy and proud that you have so many interested teams and you should not mess them up. Getting the proper amount of teams is not a problem if tournament is good. If tournament sucks then you will not have enough teams, it’s that simple. You should put the most effort you can into making this actually work and making it enjoyable for everyone who puts in their time and effort. Also, ask help from people who are more experienced in organising such events.

Personally I think that this would be so awesome if Anet organised it. They are way more experienced and would find a way to fit everyone in and give them a chance. Also, a shoutcaster should not be an organiser too because he is too biased in so many ways.

Also, whatever method is used, I hope it will be known to public how exactly the teams were selected and under what criteria. Right now on the official advertisement blog post it just says free for everyone, nothing about reserved slots nor leaderboard ranking required (as I mentioned above already), and teams who registered are counting on that.

My advice: have a qualifier round or two and ask Anet for more help. And keep in mind that there are many excellent teams who just play during different time zones and can’t participate in tournaments. So if you choose to do it the lame way first inform yourself about that and don’t just let your “friends” in.
