ArenaNet Staff Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Posted September 18, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 18, 2018 Hey folks, Along with the release today, we've released new tournament code to support special tournaments and future support of swiss format tournaments. If things went right, this should be invisible to you. Please let us know if you see anything odd in tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crab Fear.1624 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 This is good news. One step closer to swiss. Thumbs up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emapudapus.1307 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I got "bye" notification 5 min before tournament even started. And at least 20.00 eu AT, you couldnt see (or was false) roster of teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thhoj.9382 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 The group I was in had a bye. But then we soon got kicked out of the tournament afterwards for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free to play.1297 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Ats arent working at all, getting kicked out without even playing. Winner is picked randomly it seems. Need a fix asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Posted September 18, 2018 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 18, 2018 We're looking at the issues. Unfortunately, this tournament time isn't recoverable. You shouldn't be stuck or anything. We're looking at the logs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddbopkins.2630 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Ahhhh, a feeling of massive relief. Progress in the pvp side of the game. Good or bad there working on it at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadCrowned.6834 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 I don't think anyone cares anymore. The implementation of Swiss takes way too long. This kind of ''warm up messages'' are way overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody cares, only way to revive pvp scene is to give money(€,$) or gems as prizes other than that have fun wasting your time trying to save something that’s not saveable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falan.1839 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 How many patches that changed the underlying tournament code without actually changing tournaments except for bringing in new bugs did we have now? 3? 4? 5? I honestly can't tell anymore. I'm pretty sure the people working on pvp now have no idea how to work with the code present, probably because the people that made it have quit long ago. The pace of changes in PvP is abysmally slow and by now we've probably reached the state of the community has probably reached the point of no return.

ArenaNet Staff Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Posted September 19, 2018 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 19, 2018 Update on this. There are still bugs. However, we're not going to revert the code, as the bugs are only showing up in the live environment and we can't repro them on our internal servers. We've added a bunch of logging to help us track things down, but be aware that tournaments may be unstable until further notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Posted September 19, 2018 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 19, 2018 New update. We got enough logging from the tournaments overnight that we felt we didn't have anything to lose by reverting the code today. So tournaments should be back to normal. Our current plan is to redeploy the new code next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mes.4607 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 What is a swiss tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Ben Phongluangtham.1065 Posted September 19, 2018 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 19, 2018 New update: Ui issues remain, but are just display issues. They should finish just fine. As far as what swiss tournament is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss-system_tournament We'll be using a combination of swiss and single-elim. You'll play a number of swiss rounds and then the top X teams from swiss will move to the bracket. This is still a bit away though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmt.1567 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hey @"Ben Phongluangtham.1065" we played the at 3 hours ago and i was in a group with friends & we enrolled. then they kicked me cuz a other friend wanted to play instead of me. enroll got cancelled and everything. it was xx:13 i believe. then they enrolled again with the new mate. they waited for qpop cuz they got a bye and then i had a qpop at like xx:30 despite me leaving the group and not being enrolled anymore and them enrolling again with the new teammate. we were pretty confused cuz i ended up in the match & the rest of the tournament while the other friend didnt get a qpop at all. u might wanna look into this. if u need screens just pm me on this account. my ingame name was Floodi.5961 and i was in a group with Flandre.2870 ... i cant see our team name atm cuz ui is still buggy. it clearly said that my enroll got closed. hope this is enough info for you to resolve the problem. have a nice day!

This kind of ''warm up messages'' are way overdue. You can still have hopes though, people probably still do care. But i agree it really takes too long for a feature that's not " super special " since it existed in GW1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
