July Monthly Tournament


Recommended Posts

  • ArenaNet Staff

Hello everyone,

For the past couple weeks, we’ve seen a lot of instability in automated tournaments. Because of this, we have decided to cancel the July monthly tournament. We’re working to get these issues resolved as fast as we can. Once we do resolve the issues, we will hold an extra “monthly” tournament to catch up.

Thank you for your patience.

Maybe you would talk differently if you would be stuck for hours in pvp map after it bugs out. Or if it would bugged out during finals, not giving away any rewards.

Yeah, this happened to me twice. I'm not talking differently.

It's unfortunate, but we felt it was necessary. We felt it was better to postpone the tournament rather than having something go wrong in during the tournament and compromise it.

We put up a partial fix not long ago for the queues a while ago. Incidents have dropped dramatically, but we know we still have work to do there.

It's just going to depend on when we have a good fix. Hopefully we have one before the August monthly, but I can't 100% guarantee that right now. But once the fix in place, we'll communicate a schedule out on how we catch up.

I appreciate Anet doing what they feel is right. I just wish you and your team had more resources to devote to something a lot of us at least used to love. I feel the mode is bleeding players and playtime, and with just a little bit of love, that wouldn't be the case.Cheers.

Yeah! Programming is so easy and debugging big projects is always very straightforward /s

Thanks for the heads up @Rubi Bayer.8493 and @Ben Phongluangtham.1065, communication is always appreciated. Hope you get it figured out soon without losing too much hair.

Wait, so our qualifying points will still be valid for the upcoming AT (whenever that is), right? I really would rather not waste 300+ QP.
