Guild Wars 2

I keep making these threads because people don’t seem to understand the reason why like 90% of matches are a complete STOMP right now is that once one side gets in control of 3 orbs the game is simply DONE.

The only valid strategy to beat 3 orbs is to nightcap when you have 2:1 ratios cause you have a ridiculous aussie playerbase. Except then the aussies server transfer cause they’re tired of having to clean up…

Seriously. Remove orbs until they’re fixed. They are ruining WvW.

Orbs are only a small part of the problem.

The actual problem is that WvW can simply be translated to “whoever has the biggest zerg more often auto-wins”, coupled with “we at Arenanet couldn’t be bothered putting in hard counters to stop achieving complete map domination despite being told in no uncertain terms it would become a huge problem, because we thought the match-making system would automagically create perfectly balanced servers in groups of 3”.

Meh.

Agree, change them.

Just switch the Orb Buff with the Outmanned Buff.

Easy.

I agree, this is making the stronger servers more buffed and the weaker servers worse off. The 15% stat bonus should go to the underdog servers to even out the odds(Which 15% won’t do it in some cases.) The stronger server should just get some bonuses like the out-manned buff.

I think the orb bonus would need to be reworked in this case. You get a certian percentage based on how much you are out-manned. so if the other server had 5% more than you population wise, you should only get 5% buff. If the server had 30% more population, then you would get a 30% buff. This is how tenacity worked in Wintergrasp in WoW… But ti didn’t work to well, so idk how well this would work in WvWvW.
