Guild Wars 2

Starting in a few hours, after the new server match-ups are established, Server transfers are only allowed once in a 24 hour period.

Plan accordingly.

would have been happier to see 1 week transfers since its a 1 week matchup.

but its a start.

i just don’t get why they don’t close free transfers to high wvw population servers altogether… they obviously have the data on who has the biggest queues.

It’s a start. It won’t solve the issues but hopefully we will stop seeing people “transfering to the winning server for the night”.

Pretty sure they did this to end the node farming exploit.

Not really expecting it to have an impact in WvW.

Anet specifically stated this was to stop some exploits. It will also stop cross realm shenanigans to some degree.

Need to make it a full wvw week

PvEers are crying about it on suggestion forums right now.

Sometimes I wish we could seperate any sort of PvP from PvE altogether.

It would have been nice if they’d had a few servers that were designated as PvE only that didn’t have WvW at all, so all the whiners who hate pvp and kitten about it could just go there. What’s the point of GW2 if you aren’t going to pvp? Frankly, the PvE kinda sucks (love the PVP though).

I dissagree there. I think the PVE in this game is awesome. This is my opinion though. I like to play pvp and pve. GW2 is awesome at both. Its not solely about PvP Guild wars is from lore not because its a mainly pvp game.. Thanks for reminding us that server transfers r being cancelled or at least put on a 24 hr limit. Though I was dissapointed at first not being able to switch servers to rectify any bugs in pve, i understand why they have done it and anything they do to stop the exploiting im behind 100%...

I think PvE is pretty fun too. I do apologize on not elaborating my point:

in any game theres 3 kinds of people:

1. People who PvE only, can;t be bothered to PvP
2. People who enjoy both to various degree
3. People who never steps foot into PvE if given the choice. (quite a lot of people I know from GW1 never PvEed)

So right now something that affects PvPers exclusively (high population ques) are affecting the enjoyment of the 1 group.

But from another perspective, the 1 group is negatively affecting the enjoyment of the other 2 groups as well: on certain servers (read: IoJ), on certain NA times, their server population is still FULL, so nobody could transfer into the server… yet their que for WvW is low. Meaning there are people online to prevent more population flowing into the server, yet there are not enough PvPers for the WvW maps. This is affecting the enjoyment of PvPers who want to tank up in WvW.

If we had a PvE only server, maybe it would help. I don’t know.

But right now WvW affects bonuses in PvE, so it draws more all those three player groups to the servers participating in WvW, even if one of those groups doesnt participate in PvP.
