Structured GvG would be a great addition to helping Guilds maintain some sense of community / Identity.Realistically, probably not. The scope of the map was never meant to be a whole new mode. It was mainly to give another option in custom arenas and, if we get the UI changes we wanted, we could do special tournaments or mini-seasons with it. Getting a more in-depth system is likely off the table at this point. (I never say never, since priorities can change over time.)Will it have its own queue? because without a Queue its meaningless addition because group size wont be balanced.

Hopefully we'll be able to give more details soon. I'll give a somewhat vague status update on each one:Big Balance Patch: First pass is basically done. Cmc is running through some last minute changes and it should start internal testing soon. Swiss: Almost done (finally!). We ran an internal test on it right before the break and we're hoping to run some public tests in the nearish future. The last I saw of it, there were still some bugs that needed to be resolved. The extra gold for tournament wins not being distributed and some UI problems on the order of columns not lining up properly and tooltips and such. Tournaments themselves have some new bugs that we're looking into (rewards problems).Mini-Seasons: This is giving us the ability to run alternate game mode short seasons. Code is being added to track additional rating types now! Basically, before we can do these, we need to make it so that your 2v2/3v3 skill rating is different from your conquest skill rating. In addition to that, we still need to set up rewards for them.PvP/WvW new armorset: There are some art bugs that need fixed, but the the art is done for the most part. We're also adjusting the acquisition method. These probably won't just be tossed on the vendors like previous armors.Large PvP map (15 on 15). The map itself has been done for a while.

Hope this helps!P.S. Yes, everything takes longer than we'd like to finish. We know.As a returning veteran after quitting spvp along with these forums since july 2019, you all have piqued my interest with these proposed changes. However, I'm still skeptical. Is this a sustained focus at developing and improving spvp or is this just to placate us? Considering this game, I have a foot in the grave with general pvp content. I only limit myself to the occasional wvw. Otherwise, it's FPS and RTS games for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
