I usually like to just hang out and keep up with learning the lingo(newest version of ebonics) in map/team chat.

I swear a lot are not reading this and taking the context as a whole and not nick picking one particular part, lol.

A title "Survivor" would be nice too

If you're at T6 participation it takes 10 minutes to bleed down to 0. You loose pips once you fall below T3.

Participation increase varies on your activity. Killing players is the fastest way to get there. I find escorting Yaks to be the slowest method. It seems there is DR involved in repetition.

He's talking about going to OS and letting your participation bleed down there instead of WvW maps.

Did you actually read any of it or just saw "Tournament" and voted No?

**The Hunt**

**Preface:** This is not another thread requesting for a “Tournament” but more to research and refine as to

what type you would like to see in WvW. The **Poll** portion is whether or not you like or dislike this

type. Please post any recommendations and try to keep it from digressing into a “Match Up” thread

about server stacking as we all know this is an issue and nothing is going to be done about it.

This one is to be based purely on the PvP aspect of WvW and interactions between players. No PPT

or PvE participation is to be factored into the scoring.

I want to keep this as simple as possible to prevent a lot of coding/programming to implement.

**1: Length-** Tournament will last one week starting from reset and terminate at the end of the match.

The Tournament will start on reset when server relinking occurs. This is to help prevent server stacking

and match manipulation.

No prior announcement of when Tournament will occur except at the end of the match prior to the reset.

“Maybe an announcement on the WvW panel when matches are being reset”.

No transfers will be allowed for the duration of the Tournament.

**2: Scoring-** Will be based solely on “Stomping”. This method is to discount any kills due to the use of siege or

the “Pirate Ship” meta. If you “Alt+F4” it’s counted as a stomp.

Normal scoring for server ranking will continue.

**3: Bloodlust-** Bonus remains intact for the Tournament.

Hopefully these areas will attract a lot of combat…

**4: Leeching-** This is going to be the hardest to control. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What is considered participation as the Tournament is server based?

Do we implement a “minimum amount of stomps to qualify?

**5: Farming-** No points will be awarded if a stomp returns “no drop” or a “trash drop” is awarded.

This will need some discussing to see if it’s feasible to track.

**6: Rewards-** Open for discussion.

1st Place- Choice of Ascended Gear or Weapon chest plus 1000 Skirmish Tickets.

2nd Place- Choice of Ascended Gear or Weapon chest plus 500 Skirmish Tickets.

3rd Place- Choice of Ascended Gear or Weapon chest. The reward for this placement is purposely

kept low to prevent leeching and other forms on Non Engagement on a PvP level.

**7: Skirmish Chest-** Will be suspended for the duration of the Tournament.

**8: Outnumbered:** The bonus will be suspended for the duration of the Tournament.

The buff icon will still be placed on the map when affected.

**9: Guild Claiming Auras:** Will be suspended during the Tournament to keep everyone on an equal

footing statwise.

**10: Tactivators:** This can be discussed if they are to be allowed or not.

Use of banners.

Conditions... passive application of Condi's... and more Condi...

Was me, I also wear the "Unhappy Camper" title too.

The option to replace DBL is not there or I would have selected that one.

The graphics and combat system.

> because people just stack servers for rewards. you get 2-3 stacked servers. BG JQ and Mag (until they opened the other day) have all been slowly destacking. tournaments/ seasons just makes people stack again. if people want more population balance, tournaments is the worst thing that could happen.

There are ways around this if it were to happen and willing to implement.

I have an idea one I'll post up in a week or so. Lasts only one week but repeatable.

I have asked for tournaments to return under specific guidelines.

We can now use the Skirmish tickets for the reward and use only KDR as the score.

I was wondering what was going on when it said my gear was damaged and I talked to the npc and nothing.

Thanks for the info.

Lol to the one who wants no PvP in WvW...

They can add some other Ascended version to the Armor/Weapon vendor for other currency use but not the one required for forging the Legendary version.

My argument stands, WvW is not PvP and the same game mode. WvW has always been more restrictive on rewards because that's how it's been requested to prevent players from farming the mode.

But the pip system can be but it's still time gated enough to make you think twice if you want to really invest the effort to get all 7 pieces.

The T2 you want easy access to is the pre to the legendary version and that's why it's so restrictive.

This is just as bad as when players wanted special WvW instanced maps like "Home" so they could do map completion without being harassed when it was a thing.

Also, there is a added bonus that they won't be in T1 (Which is pretty garbage if you want fights) if they don't have PPT tryhards from a link server pushing them up. Anyone who been around for long enough knows Mag PPT until they get where they want to and then just chill around.

This... quit tanking and manipulating your rank. You drop, you get a link. Simple concept.

Since release the only one was the wolf by the Umber supply camp on EB.

They do like to blame DR for that also their drop in KDR, lol. Only 2 more days till relink. Hope we don't get stuck with Mag again!!!

It's fairly simple to find out....

I look at it for the time being as a free transfer every 2 months. But at the same time it can be horrific depending on who I get linked with.

One option linked servers can have is get one time free transfer to the server of your choice regardless of their population status.

I would not agree to any merger without option to have a say in the choice.
