Guild Wars 2

Hi!

Just when I read the new blogpost where WvW was mentioned, as well as the already known fact, that the megaserver system will come to the whole game eventually, just how are WvW buffs handled then?

Will they be based on the population of a specific server on one map, or will they count for people from different servers based on their homeworlds WvW achievements? Or will they disappear completely?

For example, if you play on Riverside and you come to an overflow or guest elswhere, your WvW buffs are gone. If you’re back home, your buffs are back as well.
So if the megaserver system is launched, and you move to queensdale to do the champion train. Will you only have the WvW buffs if you’re on a map copie that has a majority of Riverside players, or will they even stay if you happen to find yourself on a map with… let’s say a majority of Elona Reach players?

I think that question might be essential, especially for players who spend a lot time on WvW.

A single virtual server should have no conception of different worlds. The easiest way to implement this would be factions. It is so sad to muddy the idea and concept of a megaserver around WvW. Just reconceive it in a manner that understands what a single virtual server entails.

Thanks for the quick answer!
That gives belonging to a specific homeworld as non-WvWler at least some little sense. ^^
And to add something positive about the whole system, it won’t even strip you off your buffs while guesting, if I get that right? (As soon as it is gamewide, that is)

From March 18th Patch Notes:

World bonuses obtained in WvW will once again apply in PvE. Additionally, they will now apply in overflows and while guesting (based on the player’s world).

Such benefits will be a pain on low-pop servers, this will help PvE on them, but WvW will still be pretty much empty as some servers lost the majority of their WvW guilds and now everything is empty.

Poor servers.
