Guild Wars 2

How come we don’t have seasons where NA, EU and China fight each other? We can switch the host server by week. One week all servers will fight on NA hosted server. NExt week it would be Chinese hosted server. The following week it would be on EU hosted server.

Would anyone complain about this if everyone shares the same amount of latency issues temporarily for a season/tournament?

Aussies and EU has played on NA servers all the time (and vice versa) to have 24/7 coverage.

Are you not curious to know if EU is better or NA is better or the Chinese? I keep hearing EU is much more skilled and a prioneer compared to NA, while NA is just a blob.

EDIT*

They can test this with EOTM I bet. One side can be EU, One side can be NA, One side can be Chinese. The red (eww) team would be the regional hosted server, while the server with most latency can be green.

Would be nice BUT! EU will get wrecked by NA coverage. The vast majority of Oceanic/SEA players play on NA servers so playing against EU during these hours will be PvDoor against EU servers

Also China would out coverage everyone with their 1000man queue

I think it would be fun to do some cross-region matches. Maybe one server gets absolutely wrecked, but at the very least, it would add in some interesting new matchups.

All people complain about is BLAH BLAH BLAH.. matches boring.. BLAH BLAH BLAH, same thing.

Hell, I wish a mod would compile a list of changes that would promote variety, voluntary population balance, “small change, big difference” type of ideas, and reasons why arenanet should update/change something (mostly how they can make money from it). I would assume this has been mentioned, having all regions fight each other once in a while. I would also assume it is probably mentioned every week or monthly by someone else.

Hahaha. Although, I wonder how would arenanet transfer data from one host server from another within reason amount of time. I would imagine there would be a downtime where no one can WvW because the time it takes to transfer all data from 2 regional servers to one.

See… the question has already been answered. No point embarrassing the NA servers.

Thought Chinese regulations prevented them from playing with NA eu ……

That is most unfortunate.. lol. Ah well.

wait a second, how come there were people typing in chinese in WvW from time to time?

GW2 china is a different game than GW2 I thought? So this obviously wouldn’t be possible. However, they should definitely connect NA and EU already, and just have it like they had it in GW1. During NA prime time it would be hosted on NA server and during EU prime time on EU server. Easy.

Based on where you live. All people who speak Chinese don’t live in china.

They could be from Hong Kong which is why you see them. H. K. and mainland China are very difirent in views about most things and have difirent cultures, its like comparing a 1st and a 3rd world country, the later ofc having all the censorships and other various problems.
That being said im still not 100% sure if H.K can play gw2 or they IP blocked out

nty, I would rather keep my excellent ping than care about how well or worse EU or China is.

Anet has long ago said it was “impossible” to do any kind of cross EU/NA action due to the way they set up the tech for the two server sets, housed on different continents and such. Of course which level of “impossible” they were talking about could be up for debate.

But if it were possible then one might hope a true EU/NA merger would have been discussed long before or to accompany the megaserver nonsense as a coverage issue solution. Either way, China servers are playing a different version of GW2 from the rest of us due to regulations of all kinds and would never be allowed to join the fun. We do love our H. K. friends tho.

On top of all that, the horrid racist culture bashing that was map chat in the original Guild Wars Hall of Heroes when battles were different country districts against each other is really not something we need to see even an inkling of in WvW imo.

I like the idea, but I think it would be much better if it was based on Tiers per say:

Tier 1 NA vs Tier 1 EU vs Tier 1 China

Coverage certainly wouldn’t be the issue anymore, although ques certainly would (especially for China). I certainly wouldn’t wan’t to fathom the que on reset day.

I suppose if Anet were to try and pull this off, they’d have to completely make a separate server for players to join that doesn’t interfere with the current WvW; that way there is technically some alleviation maps of WvW going on.

Perhaps call it Region vs Region vs Region.

As said before, china cannot happen due to things outside of anet’s control. Eu /NA – I don’t see why not if they really wanted it to happen.

It would not be fun. We all have different prime times.
