Guild Wars 2

I’ve read the numerous posts expressing displeasure about the current state of WvW.

My thought: why not give the “losing” teams a buff? I mean, let’s say at the beginning of a match (when all teams have 33% of the map) a player has no buff… during the course of the day Team A claims 50% of the map — the other two teams with 25% would each get a buff of 25%.

What does this do? It allows weak teams a chance to fight back after logging in to see they have 0% of the map… but it also means the strong teams will get more of a challenge.

Thoughts?

I disagree. Borlis Pass has proved that they can recuperate and gain back territories after being badly dominated by Ehmry Bay, even we, Ehmry Bay, has all three Orbs of Power.

Oh, I hear ya. I’m just saying, instead of all the ideas already posted, this is mine. I think people should be able to fight their way out — but far too many posts are expressing how people don’t bother queuing and those who do get spawn camped. The buff gives people in those positions a chance to walk into siege fire and actually come out alive. (until they start taking capture points).

Thanks for your reply.

a better undermanned buff, yes, this would be usefull as the existing one is just a bad joke – if a server has good players but is losing just because of numeric inferiority they have a right to get something to at least get a fighting chance.
but a buff for servers with bad players? no, this would be a bad idea, nobody would care to learn to play.
