Hex.8714 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Is that literally what the devs want? And some players might potentially never come back after playing something else for that perioid. Theres literally nothing to do and no reason to play unraked since theres no rewards and its just getting farmed by 5 man premades or fighting bronze players since theres no matchmaking. Contrary to overwatch the season restarts like 2 hours after it ends, why in gw2 you have to wait almost 1 month?I just dont get the reasoning behind it from a business standpoint why would you want your customers to leave your product and potentially never come back because of such a long wait, it makes no sense. Why not just restart the season immediately after the previous one has ended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just restart the season immediately after the previous one has ended? Can't say originally but at some point the idea behind the length of the off season was to be an adjustment period for balance patches. The patches were supposed to go live during the off season, and then you had the chance of adjusting your build if it got affected, or to try to learn a new role/build if your bored of the old one/your previous build got deleted. Also it's a chance to try out things you wouldn't want to try in ranked without needing to worry about decay or rating loss, etc. It also gives you a chance to do something other than PvP if you have limited playtime(like myself). It's an MMO, and you aren't supposed to pigeonhole yourself into just playing 1/3(?)rd of it but all of it. There's a cool festival going with challenging PvE solo fights. Go do that maybe?

Blocki.4931 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 There is more to the game than just PvP, so people who want to do other things now have some time to do that. Also, you know, maybe some people just like having a break before it goes back to being sweaty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadMed.3846 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Either just end the seasons and give us good rewards for playing or let seasons roll on the very next day. The break is pointless when you roll out patches mid season anyway. Does it achieve anything at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont understand that logic. Why is there not a pve/raid season where players cannot join open world pve/ raids / wvw and have to wait 2 weeks. Why do they have to lock pvp players out of content for 2 weeks but not other game modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khalisto.5780 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 i kinda like itI often get matched against top 100 ppl, thing that never happens during season since i bounce between plat 1 and gold 3 It's also a good time to learn a new class to fill those gaps where your main doesnt have good match ups, or even try out builds that are constantly beating you on a 1v1, learn their cooldoows and animations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crepuscular.9047 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 i dont mind chill out for a month, but i do think they need to do the match up like the way rank does...... at time get paired up with absolutely bad players, other times the opposing side get crushedthe other day i carried my entire team with a healer, still got the most dmg and kills ¯\(ツ)/¯ they tried to 4v1 to kill me, still survived; i'm just a lower gold in ranked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampson.2403 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Yeah I don't understand this 2 week break either. I would be curious to hear their reasoning for it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yanniell.1236 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Since now they are applying patches mid-season and even locking traits out mid-season(LOL!), there is no reason for the off season to be more than a few days/one week tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multicolorhipster.9751 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I don't mind it so much really, but I feel you on the rewards side of things. Unranked usually gets a lot more challenging in the off-season, but the rewards are still the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Fear.1624 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I think the gap should be max a week. Because Anet does not drop balance until mid season, I think a one day break is enough.Let's just get the ranked oven cooking.You take away my sole means of making any decent gold/income for 2 weeks with this pace.Tag for bags isn't my thing...I'd rather t-bag bads.

Spvp hasent gotten updated in 7 years since release so yeah. Unless you count the addition of the new maps but still no new game modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quadox.7834 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Maybe change ranked queue to 2v2 queue in offseason. I.E. alternate 5v5 and 2v2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
