Guild Wars 2

By no means, keep the existing wvw servers, but provide us frustated players an alternative: metaserver map.

For me, a simple “Join WvW battle” button would do fine: I would be moved to a map with 3 × 30+ (at least) players, and to any team so that all sides have equal number of players.

Those who want torture themselves with bad gameplay in Outnumbered maps, may choose the current servers, but we us others would get more balanced gameplay.

Maybe the metaserver instances could be listed and sorted by fullness. Players may manually pick any instance and team color, if they wish. Guilds could join less populated instances. A player returning from lunch break could join the team he played earlier.

For example, if a guild with 30 players join 30 vs 30 vs 30 map, the game starts filling the two other teams with “Join WvW battle” players – toward 60 vs 60 vs 60 balance.

How would you balance this exactly? Players dont just suddenly pop out of the ground. If a 30 man guild joins, what says 2 30 man guilds join the other side or if its going to be 2 roamers on one side and 5 people afk queueing EB on the other?

If the map kept randomly filling on a need-players basis you would still end up with a 30 man guild roflstomping random pugs.

If you say “well it doesnt have to be a 30 man guild then!” then I got one thing to say… EoTM.

EotM… I don’t know why EotM has unbalanced matches, like greens with 50+ zerg and blues 3 player “zerg”. I have thought that it is because of how teams are made – all greens are greens in EotM etc – and because winners of matches most likely gets green color. So is said, but I don’t know what is the real.

But well, “Join WvW battle” button would be far better than 24/7 of Outnumbered and total lack of players. No perfect solution is needed.

3 players kill zerg in EotM easily. You get more kills when enemy have huge zerg so i don’t see problem.

You can always go with the second best thing to a perfect solution. Its right on your login screen when you open the server list. “Transfer”.

(no but seriously, transfer to T1 or T2 if you want at least some action. If you are aleeady there… well sucks to be you)

Rather than spend money transferring to a slightly less dead server, choose the sensible option like so many others, and just quit the game mode (and probably the game).

Or do what they obviously want wvw’rs to do, and go swell the numbers for the equally broken spvp format.

I hope they do something like this. I agree leave the servers for the guilds, lots of people will only play when their guild is rallied. I would love it if they just added said button for mercs like OP and myself so we could auto balance from T1 on down the line.

Lots of exciting ways to fix WvW, hope Anet picks something good this time.

EoTM is close to the metaserver for wvw but the lack of chose of what side your on and the abitly to jump to a new OF map to not pvp and just pve will keep it from becoming that true metaserver wvw.

I would like to see an EoTM like map that is bigger and has an higher cap that has fewer but more important objectives near the center. The map would be aimed to push ppl to the center and pvp both open field and siege/objective. Make it kind of a 4 different maps that you can chose witch one to play with some abitly to transfer to another (say a month cd or so before you can re-transfer).
