Guild Wars 2

Yes WvW needs better balance between servers. We’re doing pretty good in WvW but i can’t help but to get irritated sometimes when our group has 60 people and the opposing server has 200. So…my suggestion would be that there should be a limit on how many players from one server can join one map at a time. Even if we had more players that could join us and help, they’re stuck in queue cause all the players from other servers fill in the room. If it’s a problem that queues would just be more horrible than what they are now…then more maps maybe?

I think right now there is only a limit on how many players there can in one map, but not per server. Me and many more have agreed that this would be a good thing. Now that the season is starting it’s getting even more ridiculous. People are going to the server that is winning at the moment and it makes it even harder for the rest of us.

I really hope there is gonna be some changes to this because otherwise we’ll have no chance playing WvW anymore, since it’s impossible to get anything done when you’re constantly ran over by certain servers. People have started quitting already and i wouldn’t want any more to go :/

Sorry for the rambling~<3

The limit is per server.

Hi Dina,

Here are some answers for you:

1. We don’t release this number but this answer can be derived from the answer to your second question. i.e. total players = map cap * 4

2. There is a per-map player limit but we don’t release this number either, though it’s possible to infer from observation. This is especially true now that culling is gone.

3. The per-map player limit is also per-team. Each team has an independent limit and players from one team cannot ever prevent players from the other teams from entering a map.

I’m sure that’s more cryptic than you’d like but that’s the information I can release.

Then maybe the limits are just too high? Or the limits are for all maps? Because i don’t see how it’s possible to have 200 vs let’s say 100 and people are in queue? or do we just have so many solo players that it makes it impossible to have as big group as the other team? :/

Oh thanks for this! Clarifies a few things for me

But if there is a limit i don’t think it’s working too well :/ Or maybe it’s just our servers problem? I seriously don’t know.

I think, limits are too LOW!

Or maybe you just didn’t see the whole picture.
Or maybe if you like WvW you need to change server where more PVPers playing.

Me too I’m getting 5hours queue would rather fight for the enemies if their servers cant support a higher limit.

No! For the smaller servers it would just mean getting stomped by even more people. They need to adjust the system thats for sure, however they should not do it for everyone.

Some sort of system that allows the losing servers more people per a map would be a good start i think.

I don´t think that will help much. In most cases they are losing because they have less players than the enemy.

Less players or less overall coverage. Or both.

Yeah it might be just me or our server….don’t know xD We’ve had some pretty bad commanders as well so it might be cause of that too. I’m gonna stop worrying about this :D But server change? Nah i picked this one and i’m sticking with it ;3

Instead of skill you planning to bring numbers? Hmmm…

If you found your server always loose – transfer to on of the top servers!
Be successful! Noone loves loosers.
