It’s not one of the maps in the upcoming tournament and I would much prefer to have Temple skipped from the 2-team tournament rotation and move straight on to forest for the next 4 days?
Anet please?

A reasonable request! Will ask the guys about this tomorrow.
We’re talking about skipping 4 days of Temple. Not skipping Temple until the end of time. This would not only benefit the teams participating, but it would benefit the teams that wish to eventually compete, as well as the shoutcasters to practice casting on these maps. Thus, the entire future of PvP benefits from this as the tournament, and the shoutcasters, are essentially showcasing our game and helping us grow our playerbase.
Given that, we will be adjusting the tournament rotation for the remainder of the month to be the following:
7/26: Forest of Niflhel
7/30: Legacy of the Foefire
Thank you for understanding!
Thanks for your feedback! Since you disregarded the second half of my sentence, I will repeat, but go into more elaborate detail.
1. Part of growing a playerbase involves showcasing the game.
2. Showcasing the game through a tournament is a great way to introduce new players to exciting “end-game” for PvP. (NO, this is not ALL end-game, just part of it)
3. While the developers are hard at work building systems for the game, the community team strives to do our part in helping bring in players. This is currently being done by hosting a tournament where players can win several thousand dollars. Yes, real money. Gasp!
That said, please think of the tournament as a separate, but equally helpful, entity of PvP growth. The tournament and shoutcasters need our support to help this game grow, while the dev team focuses on helping the game grow through implementation.
Thanks for understanding!
Thedenofsin.7340, that is great feedback! The community and shoutcasters are definitely growing, and this is the kind of constructive feedback that really helps.
We’re working on systems to help new players for in-game. Outside of the game, the community team works on weekly live streams. On top of that, there’s videos from the community. I agree that overviews are great and very helpful. We will consider that for future streams and tournaments.
Thanks!
