How to fix 'Nightcap'
1 2
I honestly don’t think that “night capping” needs to be fixed.
Fixing it doesnt mean stopping people playing or going after players, just balancing the score curves from PPT.
Or at least thats what I think, I know many people have more radical ideas.
I wouldn’t touch it at all then. Cause the score curves represent when your server is strongest and who is on at the time. Instead, I’d say leave as is and start trying to get your server’s WvW guilds to recruit people that are on in the times when the server isn’t very active. Especially commanders that don’t mind havoc’ing if not zerg’ing when the server is the least active.

Doesn’t really matter which way people want it to be fixed. Servers who have a lot of people during the night will mostly lack people during the day whereas servers who lack people during the night will have more during daytime. I don’t know a single server that has a good zerg 24/7. It’s a system that keeps itself in balance. Yes, it might look very scary when a server ticks with 300+ during the night but if you don’t manage to make up those points during the day then maybe your server generally lacks numbers / effort and just isn’t meant to be at the top.
Btw I think that ops idea is terrible because it takes away server loyality. I don’t want WvW to turn into an Edge of the Mist like system / megaserver. Merge some servers, maybe, but that can’t be the answer to night capping because a lot of server that have high queues during prime time still won’t have people during the night.
Really, people need to stop thinking that everything can or has to be fixed by anet. Anet gave you an awesome platform and it’s the choice of the server communities how they want to use it.

Exactly.
