ArenaNet Staff Cal Cohen.2358 Posted May 21, 2020 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hi folks,First off, apologies as this post is running a few days late. As many of you have noticed, we haven't activated the next mini-season yet. We're trying some different things as we look for the right balance of conquest season to mini-season to true off-season. The general feedback that we got with the 2v2 season is that it ran a bit long given the meta and the lack of direct balance considerations for the the game mode, and that the immediate transition from season to mini-season didn't give much time to relax and reset. This time around, we're having a week (this week) with no active season, followed by a two-week mini-season of 3v3 TDM. The 3v3 season will start around the usual time next Tuesday. We'll see how the two-week season feels and will continue to evaluate mini-season length moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunt.6835 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 This is just me but i think 3 weeks should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the main reasons I enjoyed the mini season is that it allowed players to keep farming ascended shards, tickets, and other ranked chest rewards without the pressure of a time-limited season looming over them. A mini season with all its faults is better than nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Yes.1453 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 There is 1 question which will have far greater impact on the leaderboard than balance: is it solo double or triple q? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagubah.8976 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Excited to try out 3v3! Thanks for the update and happy to hear you're keeping an open mind about structure :)don't wanna speak too soon but 2 weeks of an off season seems just slightly too short, 3 weeks maybe? but we'll see just thinking out loud here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagubah.8976 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Also any reason for doing 3v3 instead of 2v2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeqkOneStylez.8047 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Why cant we just have an ongoing unranked for the mode? 2 Weeks and then we have to wait 2 months to have fun again? Replace Stronghold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPMN.1483 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Thank you for the communication update and the willingness to try something new.It would be nice if you didn’t schedule the season to start at the same time as the next living story update for those that do both content modes.
