Add gamer points to norn tournament/dwarven boxing/polymock

The rewards suck right now, they're not worth playing. Adding a few gamer title track points for winning would help a little bit.

Totally agreed. At least there need to be gamer points available more often than just a few times a year.

yes gamer points need to apply to all "minigames"

/signed

Gamer is PvP title, unless Anet decides to add PvP version for these minigames (highly unlikely for Norn tournament, polymock is possibilty) so /notsigned.

Rollerbeetle racing isn't really PvP, got gamer points for that, dragon nest not really PvP, got points for that

/signed. Gives another reason to do Norn tournament

Last time I played those games, I was playing against other players not AI. Player versus Player, it is simple wording and self explanatory.

sigend, gamer points must be aquireable all over the year, not ever only on dumb events, this takes simple much to much time, until anyone will ever max the gamer title, when you can make only several times per year some litle points ...

So signed for making all minigames playable 24/7 365/Y and letting them give us gamer points for wins.

Example:

Dwarven Boxing: 5 points per Win
Polymock: 5 Points per win
Norn Arena: 10 Points per Win
Roller Beetle Race:
1st place: 10 Points
2nd: 7 Points
3rd: 5 points
4th: 3 points


And then it would be really awesome, when Roller Beetle Races gets IMPROVED ...

This Minigame needs more tracks, more places where you can make a Race, then only the ugly boring horrible one, that exists yet only
Thsi minigame shold have like 18 different tracks which are all over the GW World...

then it would even make sense to make Roller Beetle Race World Championships or Race Tourneys, where players could earn then really good sums of gamer points, when they win the championships.


Example Tracks:

1: "Snake Hill Drive" (somewhere in Kryta i believe) Standart (the one that exists since RBR's exist)

2: "Junundu Wurm Terror" (Nightfall Race Track in near of the Bone Palace)

3: "Downtown Maze" (Cantha Race Track > Kaineng City)

4: "Highway to Hell" (Prophecies Race Track > Fire Ring Island

5: "Circuit of Divinity" (Proph RT > Divinity Coast)

6: "Storming Jade Sea" (Cantha RT > Gyala Breed...)

7: "Scary Stoned Forest" (Cantha RT > somewhere near Haus zu Heltzer)

8: "Spider Web Djungle" (Proph RT > Maguuma Djungle)

9: "Shiverpeak's Horn" (Proph RT > North or south Shiverpeaks)

10: "Presearing Memories" (EotN RT > Charr Homelands)

11: "Great Dwarf Mountain" (EotN RT >far shiverpeaks)

12: "The Lion's Pit" (Proph RT: Lion's Ark)

13: "Royal Chambers" (Nightfall RT: Vaabi somewhere)

14: "The Fortress" (Proph RT: fortress)

15: "Shing Jea Courtjard" (Cantha RT: ....)

16: "Corsair Hideouts" (Nightfall RT: Istan)

17: "Temple of Kuunavang" (Cantha RT: kuunas temple)

18: "Realm of Torment" (Nightfall RT: ...)

this would be for example 18 awesome race tracks all over the world of GW
on whihc RBR's could be done, because making this game ever on the same race track gets very quuick boring...


would be really somethign i would wish me for a next add on ...

Polymock/boxing/Norn tournament rewards are worthless now. These games have to be more rewarding

/signed. MiniGAMES should give GAMER points.

I think the minigames should have a PvP mode that gives them gamer points, like Norn Tourney could easily be a random 1v1 matchup, in fact they all could, and then play out using the rules of the games.

Then make PvP versions of them.

And enable a 'minigame land' somewhere, like... like the Realm of Dwayna! Where you can enter and join minigames all year long!

See? Easy.

minigame land would be sooooo FUN

Like a theme park

just make the games pvp...

/signed

So many good ideas in this thread that Gail needs to read it.

A "Minigame" land, possibly a new relm of the gods: /Signed

More Rollerbeatle courses: /Signed

GW:EN Minigame PvP option: /Signed

GW:EN mingames give "Gamer" points: I'm a little split on this one. It would be great, but that title really does seem to be a PvP title. Perhaps a diffrent "Gamer"-like title for these games?

Edit: Phoenix Tears: Finally, not only a good suggestion by you, but several Great ones! /clap

Hmmm, minigame land? I like it. I don't know about the additional rollerbeetle tracks. It's a great idea, but would take a lot of programming time which I don't see happening right now.

I think the gamer points should be restricted to PvP competitions only, so I'd love to see pvp versions of polymock and boxing which I honestly thought would be the case when I read the pre-release descriptions of GW:EN. I was a bit disappointed to find out they were PvAI only.

Races would be a fun idea (but again might take too much programming time). You talk to a "race official" in town and you are then placed in a random explorable area (free of enemies) with 4-8 other players. When the official says "Go!" you have to race to the next zone portal. The winner gets gamer points.

For example, you are in Lion's Arch and you talk to the race official. You are moved to a random explorable zone in Kryta and given a destination town to run to. The first player there wins. Mapping out automatically disqualifies you. Could be set up with your own skillset or replaced with a special set of race skills like the rollerbeetle races.

i really consider the gamer title a pvp title as well.

/signed for a pvp version

I do a lot of boxing too, so /signed

/signed. Yes please.

Erm... "Gamer" is a PvP title. Dwarven Boxing, Norn Fight Tournament, and Polymock are all PvE bouts, and already give rewards for a title.

However, I see no reason why we can't have PvP on all these minigames, with added gamer.

I agree with better rewards for the minigames but i don't think gamer points are the right one. It makes the minigames a place to grind a new title instead of something you do for fun. Or you could just make them pvp.

/not signed

With GW:EN being the last thing for us to see for a very long time I think Anet SHOULD give us all the previous "event only" games (rollerbeetle, dragon nest, snowball fight, ect) all around, because no one can possibly ever max these I doubt before GW2 comes out, if ever as it stands now with only having such games that give out gamer points only around twice a year. Its not right to create a title that can only be worked on every so often, i mean hell they added lucky/unlucky for lockpicks (though i still think more should be added to advance these titles) but they haven't added a thing to help with the gamer title track. Truth be told I have not worked on the gamer Skillz title track but I may plan to eventually and whether I do or don't I still think it should be more readily available to the public, not everyone can be around to play the game on the HOLIDAYS because HOLIDAY things are going on.

so be that as it may /signed

Gamer points are given for PvP games.
They would only be able to give such points if PvP versions where added.

Okay I understand what you mean by that. So why not Anet just release the previously KNOWN and played games again, rollerbettle dragon arena ect (which are player vs player mini games) and make them accessible through Great Temple. Otherwise the title probably will never be maxed and if so, only by a few given OBSESSED with no LIFE people lol

the gamer title like that from the festive games? hum interesting. maybe polymock and boxing too? Sounds interesting... May make that title more attractive for some that do not point farm while AFK during events... Any of those solo quests and games make sense to me.

/Signed...

But make sure the points go to that title for those solo mini games, and not something else. Make it a fair trade... If your getting gamer points you prob should get less dwarf, Norn, or asura points. Make the reward a fair one all around if your going to do it that way...

The point about that title is that normal people can't get them.
They are only active during festivals, when people is out enjoying their holydays.

Maybe some hours playing after Xmas dinner, another after Haloween party... so those with no life that only sit and play during the holydays, can get such titles completed. Like they did with Lucky, there would be a way to get points for that (and any) title all year long.

yes gamer points need to apply to all "minigames"

/signed

This thread is now featured for this week.

agreed that we need gamer points in the game other than through festivels, however gamer points are gained by playing other people, therefor ei woudl suggest having a pvp element to these once you have completed the normal quests and you coudl then play other folk at them

I'm going to disagree with this thread for one reason: it only allows people with GWEN to get gamer points on a regluar basis. I think that if they want to add gamer points for regular activities, then they need to do so for all the previous chapters as well.
