For about 4 months now my server has been last place in it’s WvW grouping. Attempts have been made to get people involved in PvP but sadly the vast gap between our numbers and other servers is just too much. We couldn’t get people to join the fight and many of those interested in WvW have jumped ship to other servers…

I’m fine with losing in WvW, that is a part of competition. What I absolutely cannot stand is the fact that the order of starting Borderlands is based on the previous final score. This makes it so that a constantly losing server is pretty much always in the same location.

This means it is impossible to complete full exploration.

All I am really asking is that you PLEASE randomize the starting borderland locations. I’m fine with WvW being part of exploration, but seriously… even without the exploration problems, WvW should have ALWAYS had randomized starting borderlands.

For 4 months or longer I have only need a few POI, a couple of Vistas, and one Waypoint… All of them in the left side Borderland. Unless I transfer to a winning server I will never finish world exploration and I will never be able to craft a legendary.

Please consider randomizing the starting borderlands.

The only solution is this…

  • Wait for TES:O to come out

This will fix all of your WvW problems because they’re doing it right and learning from the mistakes of Anet

Right, it will be the perfect game. No one will complain about anything. Their forums will be clean and tidy, filled with happy, non-complaining MMO players.

And because it’s a Bethesda game, it will also be bug free.

I have my fingers crossed in regards to that game, for sure.

Till than… randomizing borderlands should be a relatively easy fix… especially with a new WvW patch coming, they could just tack that change on.

All MMOs have issues, including GW2. However…

  • Having a trinity
  • Having factions
  • Having only 1 mega server

These things will insure that their “WvW” area is much more successful.

I disagree.

First, we don’t know how things will work on the one server until a zillion people are on it. We don’t know what kind of queue time there’ll be. We don’t know how buggy it will be.

Having a trinity might not make it better at all, and I’ll NEVER play another game with the trinity again. I think it’s a terrible design. I think it’s contrived. I hated it long before Anet annouced it wouldn’t be in Guild Wars 2. It’s not only lazy but it hamstrings game designers.

And you know, I’m pretty much over factions too.

Hope you enjoy the game, but I’m guessing it’ll have a whole lot of complaints on its’ forums as well.

Oh no… we’ve gotten incredibly off-topic!
