Guild Wars 2

So I got a PM that my original thread was moved to the Suggestions subsection. Yet I can’t find it. I’m reposting a new thread here. I didn’t know this section existed when I first created it.

I believe there’s going to be a major issue once we move onto longer term one week / two week matches. We’re seeing servers with the presence of large guild alliances completely destroy those that lack this organization. To the point where they can literally claim all four maps. This can completely demoralize the other servers and keep players away from WvW. What’s the fun if there isn’t a snowballs chance? Especially when the week long matches start. How much of an effect this is going to have on server moral if they’re being completely crushed for an entire week?

There needs to be a mechanic in place to help prevent or at least stave off slightly this sort of dominance from happening. Lets face it the games a lot more fun when it’s a more even playing field and not just one side hopeless crushing the opposition.

My idea would be to add some sort of upkeep mechanic based on the servers current potential point score. Tie the supply spawn rate directly to the amount of potential points a server currently has. More points = More Areas Capture = Supply takes longer to spawn from camps. This would help balance things out if a server starts taking too much territory. The underdog servers would gain supply at a faster rate to aid in building offensive siege equipment and fortify what points they have left. Where as the server that’s taking on territory would find supply rate slowing and find it more difficult to repair and fortify. This would also add a more strategic approach to captures, you wouldn’t want to overstretch yourselves and lower the supply rate if it’s a point you won’t be able to defend.

Anyways that was just my idea. Any one have any other thoughts?

The major problem come’s from servers who contain diffrent time zone playerbases.
Iam playing on Far Shiverpeaks we have 1 timezone, while Vizunah Square seems to have 2 time zone’s on their server.

Everytime Far Shiverpeak goes to bed and wake up we lost all progresion we have made.
Kudo’s to Vizunah to have nightshifters or diffrent time zone’s on their server, but it sucks the fun out of the WvW…..

What needs to be done is they need to put those servers against each other.
I dunno if its posible to merge EU versus US versus Asia or whatever, but if this continue’s it will harm the reputation of Arenanet and their PvP advertisement.

Soon every1 speaks of this and its bad marketing no matter how you look at it.

Strange thing is, server reseted for 1 week battle’s and we have builded up a 10k points lead over 12 hours of WvW, but i bet that at night they recap all maps and take a 50k points lead again.
And its imposible to regain a point lead again.

Also like you idea’s Sathure, lets hope we can work out some solutions that will increase balance in skills and nighshifters or multiple time zone servers.
