ROM's 2v2 tourney was pretty good

it's good to see people came and played many different builds and won

dh / rifle war / hammer etc. not just the boring usual builds on ladder

hopefully it can keep going.

it also bring back the old memories when " we used to have 2 v 2 tournament every Saturday "

yeh, and ROM makes his stream really enjoyable to watch imo

yea rom did sick job at entertaining, i even had my wife watching who dont play the game :)

Was nice, ROM is just a funny guy to watch. He's a funny lad. :D

Have to admit even as someone who doesn't watch Streamers, he's pretty good and I'm very glad for his initiative.

Agreed. Although I only played one round, it was fun. I watched it back later and it was enjoyable to watch. The waiting time is a bit long though for participants, but that might get better in the future.

RAMPAGE = ROMPAGE, thx for the great show

Amazing feedback, lads! Warms my heart that you enjoyed the evening and event. This all fuels me to keep going! Thank you all for tuning in :)

Was indeed a great job, keep it up!

Rom is hilarious. Every time I have watched his stream he is super entertaining and enthusiastic. Great host!

Whatever happened to the idea of a 2v2 automated tournament weekend that somebody pulled out of the game data literally half a year plus ago. A-net is so slow on anything decent. I guess that will happen six months after swiss tournaments are finally available.

Anet spends years in r&d making 2v2. Maybe we will see it.

While one dude on a weekend organizes this and it's great. Why dont they just pay him to do this every weekend. Plus he gets moneys from donations.

Keep up the good work rom.

I always thought this game had piss poor balance 1v1, is 2v2 better in that regard? I try to imagine what could possibly be undefeating cancer, like scourge+firebrand or 2 mirages/thieves being able to disengage/stealth

2v2 is much more fun than 1v1. You can create synergies between the 2 classes in your team. In 1v1 many matchups are impossible but in 2v2 they are actually winnable. Besides, mender firebrand, class stacking and amulet stacking were forbidden in this tournament.

I watched a few rounds and that pretty much sums it up, in every round I watched, the team with the guardian won (other then when of course both teams had guards), once a team got on top then basically that was it, there was no comeback, which was very dull, overall it highlighted why 2v2 (and deathmatch) is pretty crappy in games like this.

Did anet said they were going to support the upcoming 2v2 with tourneys and so on, or if it were going to turn out abandoned like our deathmatch in custom arena?

I'm wondering about this now, other games deal with healing classes by stacking a debuff that reduces healing as the matches takes too long to finish. Or taking other considerations like most damage dealt in a time frame. What else could be done short of completely banning classes? Probably a killzone circle that gets shorter the longer the match takes too, to avoid kiting/stealth classes doing it forever.

Edit: i just realized there is a custom arena with these rules but it isn't supported by anet with any rewards...what the in world. Are we stuck with conquest for the rest of this game life?

@"Sylosi.6503"I disagree with you here, there was even a DH with longbow (which is considered garbage tier) in a tourney who made it to the 3rd place and all those guardians were playing different builds such as DH, Core, Marshal FB, Harrier FB except those 2 people who played same core guardian so that means there is no specific "overpowered" guardian build, besides, mender is banned on firebrand so they have to choose squishy amulets which can be easily bursted down. Ofcourse there are flaws in balance, in my opinion sage mirage should be banned but anyways build diversity increases A LOT in 2v2 format and a big factor in this is synergy with your duo partner so you can make anything work if you have synergy and play smart.

I'm surprised not every team isn't running a mirage with moa. Remove necros, remove bunkers and transformations.

I don't get this fascination for deathmatches... it is so boring...

But anyway, as long as there are people liking it, it's great that someone organises that! :smile: So a big shoutout to the organiser, @Rom.4536 !The things people do when they're getting neglected...

Deathmatch is the best. Anything with direct player vs player is what i crave. I guess i habe a lot of blood thirst

what about new game modes such as Teamdeatch match, king of the hill, etc... ?

Glad to hear Anet has not given up on pvp completely, because somehow that is how it feels most of the time. Also hopefully changes do not come too late and not too rare before the last player interested in pvp and improving their skill and take it serious left the game. Basics like balance patches more often (in particular when clearly broken stuff is ruining the pvp experience) should also get implemented... maybe hire 1-2 devs more for pvp could help to bring up more content and balance patches for PvP and WvW...
