Guild Wars 2

Would be really nice if BG could get red for a change. Previous to this match up, JQ SOR and BG were the same color for 4-5 weeks? Not fun…Been forever since I’ve seen BG on the Red side, recently it’s just been SOR and before that JQ had it a couple times too. Stop making WvW so dang boring NCsoft/Anet. ’’>.> This Friday, Please! Give BG red.

BG cannot be red (to much rating difference, you cannot roll down). It will likely stay blue, but there is a small chance getting green.

But currently red has a tick around 50. Should be to difficult to get anything you need. Ask your commander in voice-chat, and most likely he will help.

You shouldn’t look at the colour of a server being something that is tied down to raitings. Right now wvw is so stale over the past few months that any change so simple should be embraced and put into practice.

BG has been blue/green for months now and a rotation system that gives these servers who have to face each other 99% of the time a chance at some variation would be such a fresh breath of air imo.

I don’t need anything on the other side and even If I did I wouldn’t be able to ask the cmd because Bg and Sor have totally given up playing. And so one server decides to just bomb every match and were all stuck the same color for weeks on end. What happened to it being random? Last time I was told, it was a random rotation no longer based on score. Can’t really expect people to enjoy playing WvW every week if it’s the exact same thing every time. And what if I was on SOR’s side? there’d be no chance at all for me to get anything in the green area with their situation. It’s pretty unfair, not fun and getting really old fast. I want to defend new towers and chill and scout in a new area, use different strategies. The enemy already knows what’s going to happen the next week cause it’s being repeated over and over…Nothing is ever new feeling or exciting, it’s just, who’s gonna gang up on who at reset and then the rest of the week is exactly the same as the last. It’s been a year now and WvW is already starting to get boring, why ruin it and make it even worse by having us on the same side of the map for weeks. Nothing else in this game is appealing to me and I know lots of other people who only play WvW too and will never touch PvE content.

But color IS determined by rating and random-roll. See https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/When-does-the-worlds-change-colors/3467650 for the details.

I’ve 0 understanding about T1 complains about staleness. If you all transfer to T1, you are in T1, you you want something else, transfer to somewhere else

Some flawed logic you got going on there. Why exactly should I pay 35 dollars for gems to transfer and or 130+ gold because Ncsoft/Anet can’t give us a bit of variety every now and then? What exactly is BG to gain from being on the Red side that is so inconceivable. All 3 sides have their 2 weak points and I must say, I find it easier to Ninja from the red than Green or Blue. SoR isn’t even bothering with WvW, look at that score and tell me if it even counts based on past performances. Their side was dead, therefor, shouldn’t count and that only means BG was in last place. Red please.

It should be full random and so, that you can’t get the same color for two weeks. I have no idea why they made it the way it is right now.

I did not used any logic, I only told you which one ANet implemented (and I guess ANet likes anyone that spends 35$, sounds like a reasonable logic of them to me).
In the 2nd league you probably get red sometimes

So leaving friends you WvW with and your guild just to play in a different color makes sense?
I am only asking nicely and trying to bring attention to it because I don’t want to leave and I don’t want to play something else. I like WvW and would appreciate some thought to go into each match set up. It’s bad enough were stuck with the same 3 servers, a rotation of sides seems only fair.

Reason why lower rated server usually gets red, middle, blue, and high, green, is that the distance between objectives makes it easier to defend a good chunk for red than it is for green.
In red, appart form Anza, two towers are easy to reach from spwan, two are really close to the keep, and it’s easy to go from the keep to those towers…

On the green side, the towers seem somewhat farther from the spawn, and general design make it so going from one tower to the other takes a bit longer…

So, the reason why the first usually have green with a small chance at blue, the second has blue with a small chance at both other colors, and the third has red with a small chance at blue is that the designe have been thought to give a slight advantage to the losing server…

So no, no color rotation.

Mendon’s is the only one that is fairly close to spawn, Veloka, not so much. And to compare red to green for back tower distance, it is rather minute. Ogre and Veloka are easy access in red but so is Aldon’s and Jerri in green. You can treb defend 3 towers in green and 3 in red. Anza and Mend lose quite often considering the distance they are from the keep and it is really easy in that open field to set up siege from a distance and yoink those towers…Ogre’s isn’t in any more of an advantage either. The only real advantage I see in red is the supply camp being so close to Ogre’s and Veloka, which in the end, if you know how to starve your enemy of supply, it should not be a big deal. Trebbing SM from red keep wouldn’t fall under the advantage category either since it is easy to take those trebs out. Um. Ya… BG is always the one to get picked on in Eb because they excel so much in Bl’s. I’ve seen SoR/JQ in first place on reset nights more often than not and BG later surpasses. JQ is growing pretty well and is decent during NA and Really Strong during Sea, as to where BG really only has superb NA coverage and they get the backhand during Sea. SoR doesn’t even seem to want to participate lately and I think it’d be refreshing to be on the Red side and if it’s such a wonderful section to the map, be given some slack. I really don’t think it’s fair to be confined to one side of the map. Keeping WvW feeling new each reset would definitely have more people wanting to hop on that instead of just shrugging it off cause it’s the same old junk as last week.

just to see, I ran the numbers for BG using the updated matchup randomization scheme. for tomorrow’s match, BG has an 18.3% chance of getting green, an 81.7% chance of getting blue, and a 0.0% chance of getting red.

If matchups are determined by server ratings that are so close then playing only one or two colours is unbalanced / unfair as this would mean the winning server has the advantage if any in location. If you have a full rotation then equal and fair play happen over time across all colours.

Right now as it stands it doesnt feel like its being determined by raiting or random roll but by a monkey on a one or two button keyboard. BG the server that is/was second in raiting according to those sites you linked never gets a chance to play all the colours in many many weeks if not months.

Agreed :P for the 10th week my server isn’t green. We’ve been blue for like 4 or 5 weeks consecutively. A bit of variety would be good.

Inc, “what did you expect when you stack a server at the expense of other server, get some people to transfer to lower tiers so you will lose once in awhile”.

Or something along those lines.
