WvW System Revamp Suggestion

[XenesisII.1540]

Tournaments ain't gonna save wvw in it's current state, not when populations and balance are out of whack. It might get a temporary population boost from pve chieve hunters, but it ain't going to save it at this point. It would work after alliances though, if the game ever gets to that point.

@Sovereign.1093 said:Tournaments. It is the way

Please read bc you are apparently unaware about the problems we had with tournaments and what the devs actually post on the forums...

"Q. Will there be another WvW Tournament?A:The old tournament format encouraged extensive play that resulted in a lot of burnout across the player base and a permanent drop off in WvW players. This had a negative impact on the format, and in order to keep WvW healthy, we currently do not have plans to bring back WvW tournaments."

"Rewards/Tournaments/LeaderboardsIf—and that is a big if—we do add/change rewards to be tied more directly to World success in matches, those changes would come later. The plan is to ship the core system and get all the kinks worked out and the teams balanced before we start trying to find new ways to give rewards or do tournaments or anything of that kind."

For emphasis...

"The old tournament format encouraged extensive play that resulted in a lot of burnout across the player base and a permanent drop off in WvW players."

I don't care their reasons. Tournaments. It is the way

Those are the facts.

What, you don't care about the mode? You want more players to permanently quit? Especially now that servers are worse off than they were years ago?

Look at your sig... "Not Even Coverage is the Only broken thing in WVW.", but you want tournaments when tons of things are broken...

It's a feature. It's 24 hours 7 days a week. No one should stay awake for that long.

And like my sig. It's the only Only broken thing.

You want equal nos. Apply spvp queue on 2 hour matches.

It's a feature that created a "permanent drop off in WvW players".

No. The lack of it caused more drop off.

Wvw has no purpose except to relive our former wvw tournaments.

All old coms can feel this. Now it is karma train. The new eotm.

Back then each map had a cap of 100. Heck you can push it to break at 105 or more. Now... I'd be surprised to see 80 players.

Wvw is dying because not tournaments. It is the way.

Are you calling the devs liars about tournaments? You have better population stats than the team?

The evidence of 6 year bleeding? :) I'm saying they made a mistake by stopping the tournaments.

Do you have facts to back that up? Because the devs provided this info... "The old tournament format encouraged extensive play that resulted in a lot of burnout across the player base and a permanent drop off in WvW players.". What do you got? Should we ask a dev to help you understand?

Sure. If those devs are still around from 2014.

Tournaments is the way.

Those devs are still around and they said no tournaments bc they were unhealthy for the mode. Hence those quotes. So you are wrong and the devs make that clear.

Devs are wrong.

No, you just didn't bother to read...

Alliances may never come. :/

But wvw has no carrot on a stick right now.

It needs unique rewards that not everyone can get. Even if only cosmetic.

Tournaments. It is the way.

Tournaments or some kind of seasons. Something new anyways. Warclaw week was interesting at least.
