Guild Wars 2

So .. WvW queues, lately its been up to 45m-1hour to get in and defend or borderlands, wich is just downright stupid. Personale I blame the realm transfer system wich makes people just jump to whatever realm is currently doing well for “easy” xp/wvwxp/loots whatever.

With the wvw season coming up I think its about kitten time you reward those of us that has stuck with the same realm since early access(launch will prolly do aswell), through the ups and downs, and made the realm what it is today. I think its only fair that those people get rewarded with some kind of queue priority over people just jumping from realm to realm to benefit from everyone elses “work”.

Having to sit and wait for up to an hour to be able to play the game just wont keep doing it for me, and yes all I do is wvw so its bloody kitten frustrating.

Just my 2cents.

So dumb luck should reward people with a privilege over others?

Man, that’s a bit like the precursors. Never thought I would see a pro-RNG post here.

If you’ve been with the same server since launch, I can’t really blame you for being on a stacked server. It’s even worse if you play on your server’s prime time.

Anyways, I don’t agree with queue priority. Everyone wanna play as much as you. Though I’ve always wanted a title or something I can show off in the wvw for sticking with my server.

Explain to me how this is pro-rng? Its about not just jumping to whatever server is doing well and actually defending the place you chose as your home.

We where down in the kittenter for the longest time, read: buttom ranked server – but through teamwork we worked our way up. Then a lot of realmjumpers joined us as we where doing well and now all of us are stuck in queues, how is this fair for those of us who stuck through the bad times?

We’re all here for fun and if there’s a more fun situation than the present one, players should persue it.

Instead of restricting players with queues, they should work on expansion. It’s about time that WvW get some new maps. If there were 6 maps instead of 4 maps queues wouldn’t be an issue, also skill lag would go down with the players more spread out.

Expansion is the answer, not subtraction.

The thing is, the server you chose to begin with was arbitrary. Unless, of course, you picked a strong WvW server on purpose.

I doubt I need to elaborate why being rewarded for an arbitrary choice is RNG.

My point is simply that while you might end up rewarding some people for loyalty, in most cases it’ll be dumb luck that you ended up with the bonus.

Also, what would be the threshold for this privilege? Character made on launch day? Character made in beta? Character /age more than 365 days?

And what about cases where you picked a strong WvW server on purpose and that server has stayed strong? How much “loyalty” can you have when being disloyal is illogical? Should you really reward that kind of “loyalty”? If not, how would you distinguish it? Hell, what about a case where you chose your server arbitrarily, it turned out to be a top WvW server, has stayed as such but you have stayed with them for loyalty?

Well there is a Dev post on the WvW forums that confirms that the league rewards will be given to those who actually “play” WvW, just being on that server won’t give you anything. So all those who transfer to the top servers will have a hard time earning their League rewards. Also, the Bronze League top rewards should be better than the Gold League last place reward, transfering to the top server isn’t optimal to get rewards. Players ignore this and just tranfer to whatever server they see high on the food chain and then will complain when they get nothing.
