Guild Wars 2

Every single time the Behemoth is up on Tarnished Coast, the dang server crawls and forces a bunch of people into overflow. How about putting guests into overflow before any regular server characters?

It’s based on a first come first serve basis. Booting guests already loaded is a gray area – I know I would be frustrated if I was off playing with friends on a map that happened to have a boss and got booted randomly because a bunch of other guests also hopped in – it would have to be last in first out logic. But I also see potential server looping or hang issues for players on any kind of forced unexpected boot.

What I think should happen: Map thresholds for guests are set much lower than normal players – say 70%. Once a server hits that, guests can’t touch the server unless one of two things:

- They’re in a party with home world friends – they would then load on the instance of their party (in this case the home world rather than overflow if the friend loaded first).

- The map population dips back below 70% (obviously)

I’m on TC I never have been put in an overflow on any zone no matter where I go. I have been in alot of Behemoth fights. I believe the OP is putting more into it then it’s worth. LA is a different story.
