Do it like a Soccer League....
Not sure if I do understand all the suggestions. Let me check:
1. Instead of 3-way matches you propose 2-way battles because with 3 servers it is possible servers do not fight both enemies equally but only try to take points from one opponent.
- I agree it is possible and yet, I find it interesting part of matches. I would go in completely opposite direction and increase number of servers per matchup. Why would it be just 3? Why not have matches between 4 or 5 servers instead? This way it is very unlikely to get all the same opponents every time, so the matches are new and interesting.
2. Limit map population.
- Not sure about this one… As far I understand even current max population is not really huge. 80? How low would you go with it? 50? 30? That would also require much smaller maps or you end up with current BL situation where it is nearly impossible to even find the enemy zerg.
3. Holding structures for longer time increases points they give.
- Absolutely not. Most servers have times when nobody is playing, and enemy server keeps capping whole maps without any fights. Then those maps tick constantly until players wake up or come back from work to start playing again. I very much oppose all passive rewards, no points should ever be earned by doing NOTHING. Only active playing should earn something. Basically, if there are no enemy players around, none of the servers gets rewards.
4. Reduce player damage to doors/walls so zergs can not simply hit them to open up.
- Fine by me.
5. Remove all guild buffs on wvw.
- They are either bugged or cost a small fortune to even create so basically you are suggesting not to fix anything.
6. Reduce matchup time to 24 hours.
- I kind of agree that week is too long and most matches are already won/lost within first 2-3 days.
7. Match servers from NA against EU or CH.
- That is kind of problematic since the players from NA are mostly playing when nobody from EU or CH is online. And when EU players tend to play when CH players go to sleep and NA players have not woke up yet. The result would be fairly boring as you never actually see other players.
3 Worlds is better than 2 Worlds, if you lose a Matchup in which the 3rd World is passive or only attack you, get over it and fight back as long as you can. We on SFR had this many times when Deso and FSP double teamed us. We lost the PPT game, but had lots of fun in fights. Good thing was all the PPT player left SFR
