s/tPvP Support - Is it coming?

#1 - Sept. 11, 2012, 11:49 a.m.

To make this short, a lot of questions have been popping up around the various communities about eSports and sPvP support by ArenaNet (or lack of). It would calm a lot of nerves and questions if we could receive some updates on (at least):

Paid Tournaments
Ranking System
Custom Player-Made Tournaments
Private Rentable Servers
Spectator

I’d like to see how many people are still wondering about these topics as well as maybe an official word…

I’m gonna be posting about this soon. I’m working on a blog post right now to outline the features that are coming, the big picture, what we’re working on now, etc.

If you don’t hear from us for a while, it’s not because you’re being neglected or forgotten, it’s actually the opposite – we’re in meetings with our teams to get you guys the stuff you need.

Stay tuned, I’ll post more info as soon as I can.

What I need is to be able to play tournaments in general. I have been stuck in a bugged out tournament roster for two days now and as I am part of a competitive focused guild this is incredibly frustrating. It’s nice that you guys are working on tournament stuff that you said you would work on but please fix this horrendous bug that seriously hampers the pvp experience for myself and others.

Fix for this is already incoming.

Speaking of meetings, I’m off to one now – will write more when I can.

I’ve been told by Steve (our server programmer) that a fix just rolled out that should cover this.

Let me know if your issue is resolved in the next live build.

@Mickeye, I’ll let the programmers know. Thanks for keeping me posted!
