GvG experiments in Guild Wars

Guild Wars have been doing cool experiments with GvG battles for the past few months, and we sure are quite happy with it. The previous Autumn Ladder Season had been one heck of a great ride, and we’re sure the Winterfest 2006 Ladder Season will be just as fun.

Now, there have been a few tweaks with the GvG tourneys happening lately, so if you’re not clued in as to what those changes are, better read on, as we’re going to touch a few of those in this article.

First off, there’s the Swiss play tournament which enables participants to compete against several opponents instead of just one (which was used in the single elimination system that was previously used in the game). Guilds don’t even have to worry if they don’t make it to the first round, as there are graduated prizes handed out to guilds who rank in 9th place up to the 32nd.

There’s no ladder advantage in Swiss play as well, meaning the lowest ranked team doesn’t have to be pitted against the top-ranking guild anymore. However, guild rankings still matter in Swiss play as it will be the deciding factor in regards to tie-breaking.
