Guild Wars 2

… how about bots filling up the empty space on the outmanned server? Yeah, I know…. It’s bots: they don’t have feelings, perfect aiming, etc…. but It’s better than nothing. And It’s better than a buff that pretty much says “Hey, you are losing and there’s nothing you can do about It! HA, TOUGH LUCK.”

tl;dr: Make bots spawn to substitute players who left WvW.

Or maybe making the guards tougher, champions or whatever…
Not a bad idea I think…

Or bring back the orb bonus, but for those who are outmanned only?

This would be… curious… but I’m not sure they would help much.

LameFox.6349:

This would be… curious… but I’m not sure they would help much.

They won’t behave as like any player would do. They wouldn’t follow commander’s orders and such. More like, a group of 20 ~ 40 bots (Depending on how many players the outmanned server Is lacking) patrolling around. Sure, that won’t do much, but It’s better than a buff that increases status that will not do any good against players… motivating others to farm instead of helping the server to surprass that moment.

Adding the “orb bonus” to the outmaned sides would be interesting…anything other then this:

The enemies greatly outnumber your forces, be careful out there!

+20% Magic find
+33% Experience
+33% Karma

Extra karma/experience is nice…but doesn’t really help us take a tower that is guarded by 10x the number of players. Not asking for a handout that says “here you now deal 2x dmg” but something to balance the scales a little bit.
