dsons.9563 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Its time to go to war. It’s time to see which sever has the best of the best. It’s time for the next WvW tournament!! Most players fought last time and a lot of players missed the last tournament. Hopefully players want to show what they are made of in this tournament. So who is ready to go to WAR!!!!!!

joneirikb.7506 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 No point bringing that back until they solve a bunch of other things, like potentially the alliance system, depending on how it turns out.Basically there is no point bringing back tournaments to the current server-stack-system, people would just stack whatever they predict woudl be the biggest link, and crush the entire tournament with numbers/coverage.It would actually work better if they had a tournament that was somewhat based on personal performance, rather than who can just blob hardest. But no idea how they'd manage that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excursion.9752 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I would like it if it was a surprise event and at the moment of announcing it all server transfers would be locked for the duration of the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayra.7405 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 No thx, wvw is simply not a competitive game mode.A competitive game must have a fixed number of players for every side at all time. And WvW has the opposite.Why do you want a trophy for "my team was most often 50:10 and therefore won"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkpile.7439 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Team chat would be even more toxic than. I would spam 24/7 "don't fight against guild" "don't give them any kills" "make them bored and recap when they leave". B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riba.3271 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Lets go! I am sure lot of people know how to balance their life by now and won't burn themselves out.I mean of course people will take a small break after tournamen but it would still be nice opportunity for us that played the gamemode ONLY for last 5 years to see what tournaments are like.

subversiontwo.7501 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I'm too lazy to repeat everything again, but I just posted this in a thread two links above this one and it touches alot on tournaments and why we're not getting them: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/comment/1274094/#Comment_1274094The short comment I can add here is that there are many ways to run tournaments. Tournaments as they were in 2013 and 2014 may not be good for the game mode but that doesn't mean that every possible tournament format has to be bad for WvW and that "nothing" is better. So Arenanet can be both right and wrong in their whatever assessment of the topic at the same time.Simply put: I think a properly working ladder is the best and most important thing for server-level content but they could certainly explore tournaments for guild-level content without exhausting themselves, the players or the other content that still exists in the mode. Ladders for servers, events for guilds. They could expand that into tournament-styled events for servers and more ladder investment for guilds but those are secondary things to rather "expand into" that requires more careful exploration. It is likely to be more work for less impactful outcomes (ie., not as effective for the developers) and treading carefully would imply alot of groundwork for small testbeds, such as trying shorter events etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristingr.5034 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 A Tournament doesn't have to last continuously for weeks. It's quite logical to set up a tournament in the following style:Duration of each round: 19:00 PDT Friday (Reset) to 19:00 PDT Sunday/Monday (48-72 hours long)Keeping it to the weekend ensures maximum player interest, (which will ensure all maps are queued), while keeping the time-frame short to avoid drastic burnout.Tournament Format: Point System/Round-RobinWith the +1/-1 Tier system, it would be difficult to do a bracket-style tournament, so it may have to relegate to either a Round Robin (with the help of Anet purposely setting up the matches on the back end), or use a point style tournament.Frequency: Every weekend/other weekendAgain, to avoid burn out while keeping interest in the burst high.

Swagger.1459 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Here are the 2 Dev quotes on tournaments. “Q. Will there be another WvW Tournament?A:The old tournament format encouraged extensive play that resulted in a lot of burnout across the player base and a permanent drop off in WvW players. This had a negative impact on the format, and in order to keep WvW healthy, we currently do not have plans to bring back WvW tournaments.”AND “Rewards/Tournaments/LeaderboardsIf—and that is a big if—we do add/change rewards to be tied more directly to World success in matches, those changes would come later. The plan is to ship the core system and get all the kinks worked out and the teams balanced before we start trying to find new ways to give rewards or do tournaments or anything of that kind.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
