Guild Wars 2

So, I want to start off by saying that I have read most of the other posts about night capping.

Having said that, I still think some servers have a huge advantage because of large amounts of players coming to those servers specifically to take undefended maps.

If you did intend for this to happen then why did you have specific US EU servers?

Anyway, it seems a little silly that people would spend several gold upgrading and fighting all day long only to have their whole map taken while they are asleep with not enough people to defend it.

If you really intend on keeping nightcapping why not merge some servers or get rid of the US and EU tag.

You could also make the points after peak hours half so that the defenders who fought all day do not get blown out while they don’t have a chance to defend.

You could also make an adjusted cap based on the lowest nightly population. Let’s say server A can field 150 in each map at night but server B and C can only get around 50 people in one map. Then why not adjust the cap so that 75 from server A can get into each battleground. They still have the advantage, but at least the other servers will be able to defend themselves.

I like the idea of the adjusted night cap because it allows for servers with a high night population to be able to fight servers without many EU or AUS or Asian players at full capacity. WvW should be about organized sieges and skill, not night capping due to time zones.

I’ve been to 4-5 servers to sample the WvW in each. The servers with larger guilds primarily composed of members on opposite sides of the globe seemed to have been dominating the WvW map. Servers may be deadlocked during the day (server time), but it comes down to night when an overwhelming amount of players on one server can storm through keeps and towers like nothing steamrolling all the hard-earned progress made by the opposing server during the day.

Half the points earned at 12a.m. to 8a.m., double the points earned during primetime, and/or reduce population limit during the night. Servers with guilds on during the night will still make a large impact, but not comprise 50% of the points without giving other servers a fighting chance. Sieges shouldn’t last 2 minutes making upgrades mean nothing during the night when the towers are empty.

Putting all servers together and not having anymore Eu and US sounds great
