Guild Wars 2

I believe the breakout events were designed with the purpose of helping losing teams breakout of their spawn and have a fighting chance in the maps they were locked out of. As it stand, the breakout event is not helping the losing team, but instead, it’s harming it.

Here is what Anet needs to change to fix it:

1. Give no breakout to the winning team.

This seems like an obvious rule. I have no clue why it was not implemented from the start.

2. Only give breakout event to a team if it’s behind another team by more than 15k points.

10k, 15k, 20k, whatever, we can argue about that, but the idea is that the breakout should only trigger in unbalanced matches. Also, if 2nd and 3rd place are close in score, they should get no breakout against each other this way, and only get a breakout against the winning team.

3. Trigger the event only once every 30 minutes.

Right now the breakout event spawns too quickly.

4. Only allow 1 breakout event per map at any one time.

Two teams triggering breakout events at once is a bit too much.

There you go. I’d do away with the whole idea of breakout events, but since some people seem to enjoy their pve into wvw, at least these ideas can fix it so it doesn’t give unfair advantage to the team that doesn’t need it.

The winning team will probably not be using the breakout event anyway, since they can get the job done quicker with an organized group and be inside/capping a tower before “Commander PVE” is even activated and escorted with the same amount (10) of people.

1 & 2 I like a lot. 3 & 4 I’m not so sure are as necessary, but are worth considering.

The winning team is, in fact, using breakout events. At least in my matchup.

I saw the breakout even ready to happen in EB last night however I was confused as we had 1/3rd of the EB map (plus SM). If we already own our two keeps then what does the breakout event do when you start it?

As far as I know it will just bring supplies to a tower you already own.
