Lighter.5631 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 it makes no sense, any community would be killed with 3 week reset period lol, while other pvp games has like 1,2 days reset period for ranked.really smart anet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Fear.1624 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Not really a reason, except maybe a way to slow us down from progressing our armor and weapons.I mean, balance patches are applied half way into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Forestman.4758 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I've always viewed it as a nice break from pressure to get pips in. An opportunity to spend that extra hour or so each day progressing toward other legendary equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravan.3876 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 You need time for a therapy and 3 weeks is pretty short for that.On a serious node it was mostly only 2 weeks break not 3 and i dont think some chill time isnt too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippage.1983 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Yeah, I wonder that too. Anet is just bleeding whatever small playerbase is left dry. I don't play other gamemodes on those 3 weeks reset, I just don't play the game at all. Unranked is a waste of time compared to ranked, and the rest of the game is pretty boring.Just delete mirage, add 2v2 queues, make it a 3 day reset instead, and pvp will be saved.

praqtos.9035 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 They are just seeking for an excuse to delay everything,even ranked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiviana.2650 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have a theory! What if this delay is because the 30th announcement is going to be that they did something for pvp, maybe a new queue or somthing idk. But what if. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sephiroth.4217 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 To play other games! LolNo but for real, could be a gaming law or something.Quick google search gave me this:Gaming law is the set of rules and regulations that apply to the gaming industry. Gaming law is not a branch of law in the traditional sense but rather is a collection of several areas of law that include criminal law, regulatory law, constitutional law, administrative law, company law, contract law, and in some jurisdictions, competition law.I wish it was a little more to the point because in my country, "gaming" also means poker machines.

Kamskill.9457 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 It's just a 3 week break from decaying so you can enjoy the ONLY TRUE GAME MODE which is PVE (not raids) Omegalul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Posted August 16, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted August 16, 2019 We've always had a break in-between seasons. The purpose was always to both give people a break and time to reset. Additionally, when the break used to be about 4 weeks, we'd try to use that time for balance updates. In the past couple years or so, we reduced the break to more or less 2 weeks. We sometimes delay an extra week, if there is good reason to do so. (Holidays, too close to some other event/balance release, etc.)We do have some talk on doing something with the off-season time, but aren't really ready to talk about that in detail yet.

Nothing has changed in PvP.I mean a fair amount has changed, whether you agree with what has is up to you.As far as the break goes, I quiet like a couple week break in between seasons. Four weeks always seemed too long when it first started but 2 seems like a nice sweet spot for it. I think it was talked about with some pvp events that might happen (no details given) when they announced the things like the world boss event weeks and such coming in. Will be interesting to see what those are. Could be good to have them between seasons for the people who want to keep playing pvp through the rank breaks.

TheDevice.2751 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 As you can see.. ANET has 3 long weeks plus some of last season to come up with a solution for holo. Lets see if these three weeks actually matter.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All changes so far have been done mid season. I dunno why.Unless this time is used for resolving issues with match making/PvP behind the scenes systems, it does not have a reason to exist.

Equinox.1463 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 The ranked game mode in GW2 is actually pretty toxic. Not the most toxic, but it really is an exhausting 2 months of ranked with high toxicity. The 2 to 3 weeks break is good for your mental health, trust me! That aside, I still do not understand why they don't push balance patches 1 week before the season starts, instead of just shifting everything midseason.
