On my server this week we are heavily outnumbered. One server has more than double our point sand almost double that of the 3rd server.
We try do anythnig in EB we are met with what appears to be 100+ man zerg and steamrolled. We rarely own anything in our own borlderands due to ridiculous size of zergs enemy has. But no outmanned buff ever
RIght now in EB i counted maybe 30 tops people on our side yet enemy team just steamrolled the 1 keep we took with 100+. We had no outmanned.

Do we never have outmanned because the 3rd server has small numbers like ours also? It currently makes no sense at all. We are often over 4:1 outnumbered by the leading server yet never have the buff. It would be nice to gain something other than repair costs for trying to do wvw

I think outmanned buff is a little bugged. We’ve seen people on our server with outmanned buff whilst at the same time the person next to them doesnt have the buff.

Outmanned doesnt give you much in terms of attack or defense, though now if you have the buff and are killed your armour no longer receives any damage, so not repair costs.

Outmanned just gives you more xp and slightly better loot when you kill an invader.

Macros, you can use them as long as they arent macros.
Remember to buy the officially endorsed GW2 Steel Series Keyboard, it supports macros!
WvW, we only care if it affects the servers we play on.

One person may have it while the next doesn’t because before the recent patch, if you were downed or die you lost the buff for x-amount of time. I am not sure if they changed it after the most recent patch.

From what I’ve seen, even if it appears that you don’t have it, you still do, it’s just not displaying.
