Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen this idea come up a few times and think it needs a lot more consideration then it is getting.

At the moment it is remarkable easy for one large size zerg to control at least 2 battlegrounds if they have been upgraded. By the time a server has slightly damaged a fortified objective a server can mobilise large numbers to the objective to defend… this is not necessarily a bad thing but having the ability to immediately return to the previous battleground afterwards and switch back and forth as they wish does create certain imbalances.

There should be a certain amount of strategy (lolwut) in gw2 with how you organise and place your forces. Having the ability to be in many places at once dilutes this and creates a less dynamic.. more zergy battleground. What this also does is also inflate the issue with the small size of these battlegrounds, they are remarkable easy to move around and being placed back at a spawn point isn’t as meaningful as it could be.

I’m from Jq and have bee on the receiving end as well as seen it done to others. I’ve witnessed Waha of Foo control multiple borderlands at once and always thought it was an unintended side of WvW. A group that large should be a dominating factor on a borderland.. A borderland but not of an entire timezone

Having this cooldown would also encourage being more defensive of your own objectives then just hopping on the kharma/wex pee train going from keep to keep and battleground to battleground.

Being able to call for help and receive it is the sign of an organized and communicative server.
