Guild Wars 2

I played guardian for vast majority of my time spent in pvp.
There was a time, when you could actually kill with a guardian, and I was able to get some points – but other than that Im stuck with low score… do you hear me complaining?

If you play tournaments for the sake of winning or getting good, get over it. If you play this game for points – go hotjoin then, you’ll have plenty.

To win easily. To get glory, and ladder position.

It’s about the single person, who will be trying to get carried. It’s about people willing to participate, without making sure they are either commited or skilled enough not to be a burden.
It’s about low ambitious people, who’ll want to get easy glory/wins%/whatever by taking a chance of akitten through the match that 4-man premade will win.

Force these people to go solo-que or find the kitten team, each way benefits both him (getting good) and the community that gets more people into the teamplay, possibly causing more TEAMS to form and compete.

So yeah, try leaving a loaded gun next to an insane person and see how he uses this option…

It’s the pride. It’s the pride he’s talking about, the pride that gets violated when he dies, even after the match is over.

Jokes aside, on top of being annoying this often interupts interesting duels, fights, whatnot – make it pop up just like that panel when you die, so people can continue their worthless fights to either learn, get good, or simply have fun.

Romek.4201:

when they dont show map before joining a match i will always leave skyhammer – this map is bad i dont wanna play it

QFT.

Also like people already mentioned, if you have strategy for each map, random order is no issue.

Yeah… First I see spirit ranger, then reward for losing. You’ve lost all your credibility at this point.

So you say, you want another 250 glory, on top of that 200 you get for tournament win, for sitting on the close point?
I have a better solution, learn to play a class that scores points (if this is what you’re after) or stay in hotjoin.

Are you out of your mind? Do you even hear how the “filled by any players who queued -solo- for -Team- Arena” sound?
Another thing implemented, deeply relying on sheer luck/randomness. Whether you are paired with a good team or not, depends on your result.
Common sense tells me, that someone joining a team arena all by himself, will be unexperienced and lacking in so many ways, he’ll be a burden.

Then what’s the point of allowing such a bad design. Whom does it behoove? The team? Sure not. The single joiner? Apart from that, he gets into a game (which can he find in hotjoin) not at all.

Let it be either 2, 3 or 5 man team, simplify the math and make it proper TEAM arena.

Dear anet, stop presuming, start thinking of consequences before its too late.
(cough necro cough)

I would simplify, unify it, and then its golden. Sticky it!
Basic commands, about enemy presence at given point will really help in soloq coordination, good job RADOM.

Isn’t a core feature just like Phantaram said? Having more variety in the tournament-eqsue environment might actually enlarge the playerbase.
Apart from ranked que and unranked que for people interested in that, I’d add the same things GW1 had – Automated Tournaments, Daily and Monthly – to actually give the premade teams a reason to fight for something else than ladder position or simply the sake of winning (as in, being the winner of a monthly tournament).

tl;dr agreed on op, this game needs more variety in tournament department.

I bounced upon this lad a couple of times and he made a good enough impression, for me to remember his name.
Surely a good pickup.
