I hope they they decide to bring The hall of heroe tournaments back, Pickup tournaments seem cool but lets be honest hall of heroes where countless teams were constantly playing for domination, gold, items and glory was amazing. I hope they have that and not just these lack luster pickup tournaments. 

 

The yearly and monthly seem cool but seriously, only so many people will be able to compete. 

 

Tournaments are the more organized side of structured PvP. Tournament play is 5v5, but matches take place on the same maps that are used for hot join play. Tournaments will run with varying frequency, and different reward levels will allow some players to get their feet wet in the smaller tournaments while more-organized teams battle it out in the larger tournaments.

Tournaments come in the following flavors:


  • Pickup Tournaments: These single-elimination tournaments wait for 8 teams to join before starting. Once they start, they go through 3 rounds of eliminations, with winners receiving qualifier points.

  • Monthly Tournaments: For monthly tournaments, you'll need a certain amount of qualifier points to join.

  • Yearly Tournaments: These grand tournaments feature the winners from the monthly tournaments slugging it out for the right to call themselves the best PvP players of the year.

  • Player-Run Tournaments: These tournaments will be customized by players, allowing for great flexibility and unique bragging rights.http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/pvp/pvp-overview/

Lets here some hopes/wishes when it comes to good tourney pvp

    HoH wasn't a tourney. 

    I answered in your other thread about this same topic.  The closest you'll get to HoH is WvW.  3 teams vying for dominance.  Likely scenarios of two teams joining up to conquer a third and more powerful team.  A persistant battlefield.  Buffs which effect the winning servers. 

    Just thankfully there won't be any rock/paper/scissors to see who actually wins.

    HoH was absolutely dreadful in my eyes, so I'm not exactly sad it's not coming back.  Just a bunch of gimmick builds going against one another.  Yay R-Spike and Blood Spike and Ele Spike.  Boring.  And obnoxious.

    GvG is where the big boys played in GW.  That will be the structured play in GW2.
