Guild Wars 2

In addition, we will be introducing bonus WvW rank up chests as rewards for placement during a matchup on October 1.

Will every matchup with in a server now get at least 1 reward chest every week within the season?

How will the matchups be selected every week after Oct 18?

What happens when the season ends, will servers be assigned based on standings with some sort of value?

Yeah, the rankings will go completely wobbly at the end of Season 1. T2 will all be ranked down with T4 servers and T3 will be in the T2 spots.

Not to mention what attrition will do to the lower ranked servers, we might see a crap-splosion at the end of the first season.

everyone is in t1 atm so they have massive queues and a massive coverage. i think t1 should be in their own league, because right now http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/map/1019

2 servers are being almost spawncamped on each bl.
we love to fight, but massive hammer trains everywhere u go is not really a good fight.
t2 servers wanna move down to escape atm. guilds flee or are getting paid to join t1…..t1 is getting a little out of hand.oh well… bring it!

Guise, guise, it might all work out for all we know. We won’t have the metrics until season 1 is over, guise.

I agree with this 100%. Being a TC player, it sucks getting crushed by T1 when we fight them (which will be most of the season). What sucks more though, is not being on even footing with FA and SoS. Get some transfers so we can have even fights!

Find us a source of WvW focused guilds that aren’t going into T1 like moths into a flame then we’ll be glad to recruit them.

Not counting all the DR and DH guys who went to SBI (because gem costs were cheap there at the time) all the guilds we talked to announced they were going to TC or DB, and are either still on TC or left DB to go to …wait for it…T1.

hopefully those in T1 will find it unfun crushing those in T2 week after week with no competition and spread out.

With the exception of HoD, there has yet to be a server that imploded because they were winning too much.

It should be added that a lot of the former HoD people stacked BG and SoS and never left the top tiers.

My server actually had a lot of people leave after winnin 13 out of 14 match ups ’cause it was too boring for them apparently. People can have bad morale for like really weird reasons.

If tier 1 wasn’t matched up together so consistently, I think people would transfer off (and as another point, they wouldn’t recruit so hard either). People don’t wanna be in matches that aren’t fun.

And this is what the Leagues will do — there’d be less reason to stack into T1 since you’re guaranteed to fight all T2 servers anyway. The question is whether this cure will end up killing the patient.

I can understand if a group gets too strong that they may move to find a greater challenge. However, T1 can’t get no higher and many refuse to believe there is any other way they can challenge themselves.

I just look at what just the talk of the season has done to several servers.

Places not to be T2 and T6. T8 has pretty much always been screwed. This assumes nothing else changes in the way points are tallied.
