Greetings,

In addition to the invisible army issue and finding an elegant solution to Mesmer portals:

  1. Players would likely be more willing to work together if the game were to encourage them. I recommend redesigning how upgrades are purchased so that they are pools that any player may donate toward. For example, a player may put five silver toward the Reinforce Doors upgrade which costs a total of one gold.
  2. Worlds that holds a fortification for over three hours should be awarded 50% additional Badges of Honor for combat near that fortification. This would help prevent zerging from remaining such a popular strategy and help encourage players to defend what they take.
  3. This leads me to my next point: I cannot think of one good reason why Badges of Honor need to be looted. They should be a separate currency like Karma. Also, why not award Badges of Honor to players who assist with upgrading?
  4. It would be unfair to implement an equilibrium system during off-peak hours to assist with night-capping, but there should at least be something to help servers that are losing horribly. For every 25% difference that one world is behind in score, that world should receive an additional 5% damage and maximum health.
  5. I find it strange that claiming is not prioritized to guilds with active boosts. For example, a guild without a single Art of War level should lose its claim to Stonemist Castle if a guild currently offering +40 Power, +40 Toughness, and +40 Vitality attempts to claim it.
  6. On a more minor note, the Hire Caravan Guard upgrade for resource camps is abhorrently weak because of the guard AI. Guards should prioritize hostile players over NPCs so that the caravan cannot be killed so easily while its guards are distracted by wildlife. Or, have the dolyak be invincible until its guards are killed.

Sincerely,

Turtlemilk

besides the rendering, WvW is not broken.

It could be “improved” though with minor things such as:

- Kill spam
- Enemy Names on targetting (maybe in chat box? “you have targetted IpwnFaces”)
- Guilds’ names on guards/lord if claimed
- A ranking grind like daoc to give some longetivity to the game

These are just my personal opinions
