Hi everyone, We want to bring your attention to two threads that is of interest to the Guild Wars 2 community but since they are in different subforums, we're sharing links here: Future Plans: Competitive Potential Future Balance Changes

Hello everyone! During our Live Event today, we dropped some hints about our future plans for the competitive game modes. We wanted to go into a bit more detail here. This list is not all-inclusive, but has some of the bigger things that are currently on our list. Please keep in mind, this list is not carved in stone. Many of these plans could be changed dramatically or outright cancelled depending on changing priorities. World Vs. WorldScaling Objective RewardsWe’re looking to add some additional rewards to WvW. One of the big ways we’re looking into doing this is added rewards for capturing and defending objectives that scale up based on how big the action was. For example successfully capturing a keep that was defended by 50 players should be a lot more rewarding than capturing a keep that was completely undefended. World RestructuringWorld restructuring, commonly referred to as the Alliance system, remains our top priority for WvW. We’re not going into details on this post, since a lot of detail has been released previously. We are still not in a place where we feel comfortable releasing a target date, but we are still working on it. There remain big issues in WvW there are not addressed by World Restructuring. The biggest one is finding a means to make winning mean something in WvW without motivating players to burn themselves out trying to maintain 24/7 coverage. We have some early designs built around this and will be investigating them once World Restructuring is finished so it is a bit too early for us to go into details around the ideas, but we’re thinking about them. sPvPMonthly TournamentsGetting monthly tournaments back on, is currently our #1 priority for PvP. We’re working on this as fast as we can. (Note: Fixes may already be live by the time this post is up.) Swiss TournamentsSwiss tournaments remain our top priority for sPvP. Our current plan is that once the system is ready, we’ll create some special tournaments using the swiss format. Given the complexity of the automated tournament system, there is almost certainly going to be issues that we cannot discover until the system is stressed with real players and teams. Once we’ve addressed issues coming from there, we will convert all automated tournaments to the swiss format. Special TournamentsAt this point, we’re holding off on the return of special tournament formats (2v2, 3v3, Tournament of Legends), until after swiss tournaments are complete. But now that some other bugs have been resolved, we’re hoping to get these going on a more regularly cadence. Mini-SeasonsWe are currently planning on experimenting with mini-seasons with alternate game modes (2v2, 3v3, etc.) during what would normally be off-season time. The key tech we’re missing for this is currently getting additional rating types, as we currently only have ranked and unranked. We don’t feel it’s appropriate for your 2v2/3v3 rank to have any bearing on your conquest rank. We don’t have a timeframe for that change, however, it’s something we’re very interested in doing. Having conquest seasons not overlap with ranked queue for other game modes alleviates most of the concerns we have for splitting the population base.

Here are the worlds for EU: Abaddon's Mouth (DE), Underworld (EN)Augury Rock (FR), Blacktide (EN)Baruch Bay (SP)Desolation (EN), Vabbi (EN)Drakkar Lake (DE), Ring of Fire (EN)Dzagonur (DE)Elona Reach (DE), Miller's Sound (DE)Far Shiverpeaks (EN), Arborstone (FR)Gandara (EN), Ruins of Surmia (EN)Gunnar's Hold (EN), Kodash (DE)Jade Sea (FR), Aurora Glade (EN)Piken Square (EN)Riverside (DE), Fort Ranik (FR)Seafarer's Rest (EN), Vizunah Square (FR)Whiteside Ridge (EN), Fissure of Woe (EN)Here are the worlds for NA: Anvil Rock, Stormbluff IsleBlackgateCrystal Desert, Borlis PassDragonbrand, Gate of MadnessFerguson's Crossing, Henge of DenraviFort Aspenwood, Sanctum of RallMaguuma, Isle of Janthir, Ehmry BayNorthern Shiverpeaks, KainengSea of Sorrows, Jade QuarrySorrow's Furnace, Devona's RestTarnished Coast, DarkhavenYak's Bend, Eredon Terrace

Yeah. Those of us who have to work during that time will just have to catch whatever they said later. Maybe they are timing it so Europe gets the news first? We usually use that time slot because it's at the beginning of our work day and it's when we have both the North-American and European community's attention at the same time!

Hope you will get better soon!!! <3 Seconded! (I hope we didn't cause your cold with that video ;)

This thread has accumulated a lot of aggressiveness and there are many posts that are disrespectful to other players, by being judgmental about the way they play the game. I'm going to close the thread and start actioning people for violating the Forum Code of Conduct. Please leave the competitive aspect to the game (where you should still be respectful of other players) and make sure that you don't bring it on the forums!

Exactly, so I'm closing this thread. Thank you!

I'll leave it open just a bit more, in case there are still oddities about the fix. Thanks everyone for your patience!

Hi everyone, It's now time to close this thread. The Narrative Team will give a few more answers next week, whenever team members have time for it, and the team wants to thank everyone for participating in this Q&A. They had a lot of fun reading and answering your questions, and hope you had as much fun as them!

We'll be sharing the details of each sale on the official Guild Wars 2 Twitter and ArenaNet Instagram account, so make sure to follow those. For today:https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/1157349270951014402https://www.instagram.com/p/B0rBcZoB_f-/

Hi everyone, We’re a few weeks away from Guild Wars 2’s Seventh Anniversary and we thought we’d try something fun to celebrate it on the forums. Whether you've been playing Guild Wars 2 for almost 7 years, for 7 months or 7 days, whether you play PvE, PvP or WvW, please share some of your best/favorite memories of Guild Wars 2. It can be about the people or the content, a short sentence or a picture. Let us know!

We’ll be closing this thread on Wednesday August 7. We’ll then take a look at the pool of questions and determine what makes sense to integrate into our Special Live Event on August 30. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to sharing this event with you!
