Guild Wars 2

Currently in WvW, Orbs of Power influence the game in the wrong direction. They allow servers to snowball to victory and further setback losing servers.

Best and most simple solution. Switch Orb of Power and Outmanned Buff.

Currently Outmanned Buff gives:
+20% Magic find
+33% Experience
+33% Karma

Currently EACH (wow!) Orb of Power gives:
5% boost to maximum HP
50 bonus points to all stats.

That is 15% max HP and 150 bonus points to all stats if your server owns all 3!

I could go into much theorizing about if the losing servers should get the equivalent of 1, 2, or 3 Orb of Power bonus, but that is another subject entirely. Personally, a tiered system might work (1st place no buff, 2nd place 5% HP and 50 stats, 3rd place 15% hp and 150stats), but it’s difficult to generalize like that.

Anyone think this wouldn’t work? It seems like the best way to fix the broken system in place now.

Thats pure geneius. Seriously. I hope Anet looks at this thread.

Third and stolen (added to my suggestion compilation)

Actually, out manned should also give more points toward victory for holding structures if already doesn’t as well.

Edit 2: Orbs of Power should give things like chance of might on critical hits, speed boost, etc as well. CHANCE THOUGH not a permanent buff
