Guild Wars 2

Reasons :

1. Server transfers are locked for 24hours – so the period for WvW should also be 24hours to prevent exploits and server population movements to the winning side.

2. With 24hour matches, pop imbalance and night capping isn’t so much of an issue. Matchups change all the time and organized servers will do well on the weekends.

I agree on this until there are some improvements on scoring system.

About #1:

I agree, I think the transfer lockout should match whatever the duration of the matches are.

About #2:

“Night capping” would be an issue in 24-hr matches as well… The only time “night capping” isn’t and issue is on Friday and Satruday, since those players complaining about “night capping” can stay out to “night cap” themselves.

You’re right. However at least we can have some competition on some matches. Not waiting for a re-match for half of the week.

For the love of god NOOO. You might as well go play in WoW or Rift Bgs then where everything you do doesnt matter because it just resets right away. Look at what that did to Warhammer,…why try to take anything back? it will just reset in hours….

Having a long duration match gives you the sense of accomplishment and what you did matters. It also gives the losing side time to make a comback. certainpwerful wvw guilds maynot being playing one day becase fo work, but another day they can get on and turn the match.

Look at DAOC the matches dont reset there and never have yet the war map and whos winning changes constantly

the only problem is server transfers, once these are turned off it shouldnt be an issue

I think we should switch to a 4-week match cycle.

Also, lock out WvW participation for the current match cycle when you server xfer (along with a 1+ week xfer cooldown).

I dont agree. One day matches make upg forts and camps just sensless. And I think a 4 week cycle is to big, most matches are decided on the 4 first days.
Tbh I think 1 week is fine.
2 weeks gonna be boring.

I would defenetly ban transfers to servers in your same bracket.

I’d love to see 3-day matchups actually. 3-days seems like a nice balance between solidified leader board and close and exciting matches.

I dread seeing 2-week long matches based on current server morale/far too easy to transfer anytime issues/orb bonuses just exacerbating the winning-dominance-keep-trouncing problem.

3 day matches would be a mess. You’d have a long line of lop-sided matches where servers that can field people during the weekdays would dominate during weekdays/nights, and would be get dominated during weekends.

I think week matches are decent now and will get better as the ranking adjust. I also think that blocking transfers to winning servers, as well as denying access to WvW if you transfer to a server in the same bracket would help a lot with the endless server jumping.
