Caedmon.6798 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) So people have a reason to care again. Week long ? Or a couple of weeks long tourneys with a Proper end reward so people will maybe bother playing this game mode as it is supposed to be played ? So people will maybe start scouting and roaming again,flipping things more as just rushing that one objective over and over.

Mabi black.1824 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 we do not even come close to a total of dead and killed of half of the two opposing teams ... we clearly have less than half as many players as our opponents. is it perhaps appropriate to fix something before thinking about tournaments? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Ok so people care a couple of weeks and people go back to not caring while the remaining ones that care get pissed off due to tournaments never working in practice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That something wont happen,so they might want to add things like Tourneys again instead. Edited March 28, 2022 by Caedmon.6798 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenesis.6389 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 We've had tournaments before. Ask yourself why we don't anymore. So tired of people not bothering to understand the problems with the suggestions. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morden Kain.3489 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 I enjoyed the last tournament. I still have some of the finishers (I use them sparingly). I really need some more finishers before I run out 😁. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamikharzeeh.8016 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 i personally have zero interest in a week where everyone cares even more about ppt than they do yet. absolutely tedious. i doubt anet could make the prices worth ppting against NA nightblobs and other lifeless blobservers, of which EU has enough. like, we could probs defend most stuff with split up groups of 20 people but is that really worth it? lots of organization would be required to catch all the sneaky little pepegas on 2 maps for 24 hours, 7 days long. also, how would u create matchups there? ___ besides, anet's argumentation was kinda that it'd make people burn out. and i kinda feel that's accurate. ppt as it is is just a horrible system and highly exploitable. u don't need skill or coordination for it, just a lot of people and offhour coverage. night, day, morning and primetime coverage in adequate size. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically 24x7 😆... ANet only did a single Tournament to my recollection (2 if you want to count the China one). Maybe they should allow those that want to sign up for a Tournament do so. During the Tournament, those people would be paired with a team to compete. Kind of like how PvP Tournaments are done, only for 4, 6, or 8 weeks (longer if wanting to). Prizes can be things that would be worth the time sink (in-game items). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedievalThings.5417 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Everytime this comes up, I realize people forget how bad both stacking and hacking was. And, while you still see people teleport/speed hacking daily, it's not quite as bad as it was back then. I would rather they spend dev time just fixing things, than trying to do a tournament. Maybe they could start with the oil trait, that has been reported as broken for 5 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrimm.5624 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 We don't need tournaments, but it would be good for people to care about every week like they did during tournaments. Not the I need to stay up 24 hours straight bits, the bits about, good job peeps, well played. Great take or great defense bits. That's the issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds more realistic to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiiirf.3201 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Tournaments in a mode where the teams are unfair overpopulated because of WTJ Dudes...eh no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedmon.6798 Posted April 1, 2022 Author Share Posted April 1, 2022 Alllright,then keep it as dead as it currently is,because that seems to work ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenesis.6389 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 How about a tournament for boon ball? The best boon ball commander and guild in all of NA and EU! (sorry ocx we know you only have ppters there). Wait... that would require they fight each other.... Well that idea didn't age well... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your idea makes no sense at all. It would kill WvWvW even more. Tournaments where u can buy your Winticket is simply stupid. They have to bring that alliance system first and much more love to the Mode + Steam RLS which could bring a big influx of fresh blood. Transfers should be locked then.

subversiontwo.7501 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 WvW has had tournaments every year or every second year for as long as the game has been out. They have been player-made GvG tournaments. That is the only tournament format that needs developer support. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate.3679 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 There were so many problems with the tournaments. I was on FA for the first WvW tournament and I remember tanking as hard as we could to get out of gold league and I think we sent mag up there and they just got ppt'd in the rear for like 2 months straight. Then in the second tournament I was on Gandara, and there were like 100 man queues on the BLs and a 300 man queue on EB. I used to get home in the middle of primetime so there was no way I was going to play wvw for the duration of that tournament lol. In fact here's an old screenshot of how the queues were when I got home: https://i.imgur.com/do1GYTM.jpg. I think this was also the tournament where BG got double teamed for 2 months straight against TC and JQ. I'm sure they really had fun. I remember seeing them tick ZERO during primetime. Every fight they had probably got AJ'd too. I was on SoS for the final WvW tournament but I didn't really play WvW during that time so I don't remember anything about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riba.3271 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) I designed us a tournament system of 3 weeks: It consists of regular season which decides which tier you start in the tournament (normal WvW) Depending on tier, you earn more points and those points decide what tier you start next time After 1st round, losing/winning causes to jump 2 tiers (if possible). After 2nd round 1-up-1-down system is active (except in rare cases if you win tier 3). Total scoring decides final placement thus placement rewards. There are 12 servers total Crude draft (paint) https://i.imgur.com/SOOhSRp.jpg Edited April 9, 2022 by Threather.9354 Trying to post image as image 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
