Guild Wars 2

Making temporary achievements gated by WvW ability of your server is the biggest encouragement I have ever seen to transfer servers. My server has a very small WvW population and now I have to consider transferring servers to not miss out on these achievements and the title.

Any thoughts?

yup thats an issue. im worried that the na servers sor,jq,bg,db and tc will become overpopulated, while other servers will lose a lot of their population.

I’m on Darkhaven, and we are about halfway down the list. However, due to the upcoming league, all 4 of our WvW guilds just left for more WvW oriented servers.

This leaves our WvW completely empty. I fear that if one of the Seasonal Achievements is to take Stonemist (even once), then no one on our server will be able to do it.

Really you would pay to get a achievement you don’t even work for…. On side note you have to do the wvw weekly achievements to get as well so you don’t wvw you won’t get it

I’m not saying I won’t WvW. I’ll definitely go out there every week to help my server.

What I am saying is that there are some things which could possibly be part of an achievement which would not be achievable depending on which server you are on.

For example: “Take Stonemist”, “Get 1st or 2nd Place in a match”, “Take 50% of a map”, “Take an enemy Garrison”, etc.

I hope the Seasonal Achievements are more in line with the current daily achievements (except scaled up). This would be reasonable, even though capping a tower can sometimes take up to 3 hours on low WvW pop servers.

I would think the meta for it would be easy to get no matter what server your on. I’d be more worried about having to go against stacked servers to get in top 3 for each league…

I already know we will finish in the bottom 3 of our league, and frankly I couldn’t care less. I just hope Anet wont punish everyone on our server for having a small WvW population.

Don’t get your hopes up yet you may get a bunch if guilds transfer over for a easy win in bronze league. We just got 2 guilds from BG I didn’t see that coming

Not likely, I think our population is still “Very High”, which is why we got no transfers to begin with, and which is why the 4 WvW guild we did have left.
