Guild Wars 2

Is there any announcement about coverage problem with expansion or i missed the notes ?

i am belonging in a real life family / friends guild and we are playing only for our server pride in wvw and for the fun , but the coverage problem converts the fun in wvw to torture . with this expansion i feel that the coverage problem will remain or will become worst for many servers because of guild halls / guild wars .

Fixing coverage problems is not a showy or glamorous release announcement. It doesn’t resonate with new players and doesn’t present well in a large conference like E3. I would have been very surprised if they used E3 to announce any changes to how WvW server populations function.

At this point we really know almost nothing about the expansion other than a couple teased highlights. Server pop adjustments are details that, if changed, would be discussed in a detailed blog post some time in the future.

You missed the notes. To address the coverage problems anet decided to make the upgrades automatic so the servers with large off hour populations no longer have to worry about sticking around and devoting hours to upgrade your bl. They can just build siege outside your spawn exits and let everything fortify on its own.

They also won’t have to worry about silly things like wasting money on siege or trying to fight through a solid defense. They can just blob the PvE dino event and the skyhammer will open up all your structures so they can karma train to their hearts content.

i can not decide what is the better answer

This is a bad time to be talking about coverage. When the expansion hits, there should reasonably be a pretty big population spike, which is gonna throw all the population issues into a chaos. I suggest people either transfer right now if they’re now happy, or wait until HoT comes and observe what happens before jumping to conclusions.

Or a big population drop.

I doubt they’ll change anything in that regards, which goes back to my question from another thread – what incentive is there for Guilds to WvW, when there is little incentive for us to contribute to their Server as much as they want to?

We should all know by now that, WvW ‘Competitvely’ in that way, is won by Coverage and numbers off peak. Of course resetting a T3 helps during or before Prime Time, but there isn’t any incentive at all for a Guild (or anyone) to PPT.
Server identity is just a convenience.

I like to know what you can even do to fix a coverage problem beyond just cutting off wvw then “your” not playing in wvw. I do not think its a truly fixable thing and is more of a problem of rvr game type then just a GW2 problem.

rvr is not a problem by design . if someone wants to improve it , he can make a rvr system that gives tools to the “weaker” or reasons to the players to play the wvw game mode more and not playing only pve or spvp or EOTM as replacement of wvw .

besides all , there are not problems that can not fixed or prevented them in this life . somehow there are always a solution and in these forums we have said many solutions in the past to improve the rvr and to prevent the torture of the outnumbered server .
