wow thats nice

but Justin can you help soloQ too and make this Skyhammer thing somehow a chance like 0,000000001% or even delete it?

please help us you dont need to say it to the other arenanet guyz (they hate soloQers)

thx

I love skyhammer, it’s an amazing map, why would you want to remove it?

Give us back some 8 vs 8 Server. And some 10 vs 10 on top.
Right now there are mostly full 5 vs 5 and some boring glory farm server.
Concerning the new TDM-Map: It usually ends with one team beeing spawn farmed after few minutes – boring/frustrating.

All in all the server-situation and variety was better pre patch imo.

Because people with knock-backs push you off the platforms and you get killed instantly. Stun breakers don’t help because knock-backs happen very fast and some classes don’t have great access to stability (e.g. Mesmer has a mantra that gives 2 seconds of stability, but you can’t really know when he’s going to use his knock-back). Of course we can avoid standing on edges and stuff (Although it’s kinda hard when you are in the cannon area) but that makes it less fun.

It’s pretty good to have added a few servers since that was a bit difficult to play (join a game, wait the end and hurry to join before others at next map).
However, the game was really enjoyable, with more often balanced team, with more experienced players and inability to go spec to switch team since everybody wanted to play.
It’s a good thing it’s not that crowded anymore, yet I think there were too many servers added, which results in the same games as it was before : half empty servers with almost only inexperienced players, allowing the spec/switch team again and again to cause even more imbalance.
Most of the games are terribly inbalanced again because of this, and after a map, a good part ragequit, leaving server half empty …
Could there be a balance in between ? Like instead of adding those 50 servers, something like 20-25 max would be enough ?
