Would it be possible to revamp WvWvW into a 3 way color based battlegrounds across all servers.
This is an idea to help counter the timezone imbalances on some servers.
To help people that enjoy WvWvW always find enemies instead of empty maps.
To help WvWvW stay active in general, by flooding the current players into the same maps.
And this would battle the que times during peak hours.
Here’s how this would work:
Instead of joining your specific servers battlegrounds you would join a specific color.
The way choosing a color could work for example:
You choose the color for the current week, every week the 1st time you decide to enter WvWvW
Or you could pick a color which will be your standard color unless you decide to switch it, which would penalize you for a week of no WvWvW (or allow to switch colors once a month)
The Battlegrounds would basically be the same maps as they are now, with the main difference being the way you que to them and the fact that colors in EB wouldn’t be set to same side of spawn but rotate on every map.
Queing up would work almost like sPvP
Lets say you want to enter Eternal Battleground.
You walk to the portal or press on it in the B menu.
You get a list of all Eternal Battlegrounds showing up. #1~3 (or whichever number, depending on the number of people that want to play in Eternal)
You pick #2 Eternal Battleground and join your color in there.
Lets say that right after the weekly reset you have a lot of people queing, in this case when the 1st 3 battlegrounds get filled #4 gets opened up and if this gets filled (equally enough by all 3 sides) #5 gets opened up.
Now as soon as one of the battlegrounds starts to become empty on either side, the battleground at the end of the list would get a warning that if the numbers don’t balance back out again in 15 minutes, it will be locked in its current state and turned off.
This leads to the amount of opened maps being dynamic to the amount of people currently playing WvWvW on all servers.
Closing down and opening up maps prevents one side from being heavily outmanned as it floods people into the same maps.
Not being dependent on your servers progression to whether you will enjoy or not enjoy the current match-up
And if you are on a very specific timezone server, you will get to fight people even in your specific timezone.
Remember Henge of Denravi? It had to make a nosedive and it still is not presenting enough of a fight for where they fell to.
A lot of the players that stayed on that server had to abandon WvWvW for weeks because of them being matched with opponents that were way over their head in their current state.
Such things wouldn’t happen anymore with this system.
This would save on server space too, as you wouldn’t have to keep all servers open 24/7 especially midweek offhours when the population in WvWvW drops to very low numbers.
And this system would go great hand in hand with progression based rewards once those get implemented, as people that want 24/7 intensive WvWvW would get it and those that want the more calm battles would pick the lower numbered servers that are up and not filled entirely.
