Guild Wars 2

This has been the best WvW change I have seen so far.

The map is quite fun, especially with all of the ledges, turning knockbacks into 1 hit kills.

Joking aside, the balanced numbers on each side makes it way more enjoyable than either steamrolling your opponents cause you greatly outnumber them or the opposite.

I believe that doing the same for all of the borderland maps would also be just as positive. Just need to find a way to allow guilds to all enter together.

EB however should stay as it is. Surely each server could get enough people to fill up one map. And this would still allow for server ranks, but way more balanced.

Actually is hurting a lot my current matchup. The BLs are empty and the same for EBG the majority of time. I play in T3 matchup.

Is a good idea to cover the queue times, but… there is no more big queues since long long time ago. maybe only in t1 servers, and this is only 1 matchup. Good idea, but they need to regroup and remake some kind of wvw servers, 24 servers for the current global wvw population is just an illusion, i think they need to cut it to a half, because below T4 the wvw is pretty dead because the lack of ppl. Even in the last weeks is dead in t3.

Anet kept raising server caps since last summer….. and allowed further stacking of tier 1 servers drawing away all the population from the lower tiers.

Last summer, BG and JQ were at full, and SOR at very high. This was when SOR was the number 1 server. Thats when Anet first started raising the caps and essentially gutted the wvw populations of the lower tiers.

They need to merge some servers.

After several months inactive accounts should be unbound from a server. If they come back they can choose your server again.

I love the map aswel, good design, good mechanics, few flaws and few OP things. But it gets there. Already laughed so kitten TS playing there.

And we still have queues on AG, not long ones, but they never were long. Most people still prefer WvW above EOTM. EOTM is just to blow off some steam.

EoTM really is awesome. Very action packed unlike the other WvW maps. I think they should be somehow replaced with EoTM. But it’s probably not possible to make it work.

EotM is awesome? Quite the opposite for me. All I generally see is SoR full map blobs (playing for “fights”, /sarcasm) running around destroying scattered pugs who aren’t on the same voice comms. The system of joining the map (organizing servers by color) just makes it too easy to have your entire guild enter the same map.

It’s worse than normal WvW for me.

cant complain. SoR teams in Eotm even sent back this sweet supply crate for me to use in SoR BL. unfortunately since I was alone I couldn’t use it all, but hey its the thought that counts, right?

Personally I found myself playing it more because;

-less walking time
-more badges, WAY more badges
-Fights are immediate
-badges
-fights
-fights
-badges
-loot

The only real QQ I’ve seen is from those that care about PPT, perhaps too much.

I care about PPT but not enough to start a QQ post about people in EotM.

Why? Because EotM is FUN! It’s even done a good job (to an extent) of breaking down the efficiency of a zerg which I hope persists.

EotM is a welcome addition to mass PvP, is their room for improvement? Ofc but lets not cut off the nose despite the face.

EOTM has
1) more loot
2)more balance fight
3)more badges
4)more wxp
5)less walking time
So who cares about PPT?

I find it has far more walking time than the other WvW maps. It does have great fights to offset this but for us roamers, dying often means a 2 minute run back to a fight.

I find EOTM a joke of a map. It feels so PVE and the walks to anything takes forever. You fall off the cliff like it’s just another of those expansion temporary PVE maps. Went around a few times and bored myself to death thanks to the walks that takes forever. Needs better waypoints that goes directly into a fight without minutes of running/walking.

EOTM = more zerging. It can be good for solo roaming but if you have party of 5 roaming together, it takes forever to meet up with your party and may be nearly impossible. I say this as I play necro main so I cannot run away from anybody else and I cannot stealth to run past people.

However, it is the most fun zerging I’ve had in a long time. Xushin #1 EOTM commander. Xushin for president!

For those that enjoy zerging all the time would definitely love this map but those that enjoy solo/small group roaming this map is very lame.

Roamers shouldn’t be roamers if they die a lot or get caught by zergs.

eotm is a great map if you love the zerg and if you love PvE and want to kill people while doing it. If you want to fight players, it isn’t as great.

agree , for me the home borders have a core design problem. as defender when you cap everything in your map all people are leaving the map because there is nothing to do there except upgrades and running dollies , events that don’t have a real reward , only experience !

not only T3 , in T2 home borders for Europe and prime time too !

and yes EotM is a great map , nothing must change in this side .

anet did a good job desinging EotM but i think it will be much more enjoyable after initial rush

I usually only play spvp, but I love EOTM- its kind of like spvp on a grand scale and the environment is really interesting. I love the rewards too.

WvW = buy expensive food, and spend all your money on upgrades. Refresh siege/ and guard structures 24/7.

EotM = Put on magic find/karma/gather boosters, and get rich.

Eotm is so awesome…. 21 replies in 3 days.
Eotm does not fix any existing problems of wvw, and you’re not looking at the big picture just looking at the new shiny if you think it does. In fact it just created another problem for wvw.

It’s still zergy, in fact it’s blobby, but with far more pve players in it.
The npcs have new skills, something that could be moved to wvw lords, but when a zerg hits them it makes no difference.
Players don’t defend like usual, why bother just back cap it anyways when the zerg passes by.
Coverage issue gone? I’ve run into maps where one side has fully capped the map, guess where the other two sides are? yes already map hopped into another overflow.
After two hours maps tend to turn into karma/champ trains.

Are there great matches in there? sure, but they are far and few in between the bad ones. We’re lucky I suppose that anet is giving even better rewards in there than wvw, let’s see how long it takes for them to match the rewards and npcs to wvw.

One complaint is all I have, map caps are a little high and could be lowered by about 10-15 perside.
