Guild Wars 2

Couple of ideas for outnumbered buff. As it is now, to have the outnumbered buff you have to be the lowest population by 3 to 1 in a borderland ( I think that’s the ratio). This is fair but, what about when you’re trying to defend your home borderland and one server has a 60 man blob and the other has 5 people while you have 10? Thus I feel home server deserves priority for the outnumbered buff on their borderland.
Also, I feel the buff should be more than just experience and repair negation. Would it not make more sense to make it similar to the bloodlust? Stack on it as well. 30 vs 10 will never be fair but a little more buff would even things a bit more.

I never thought Blood Lust buffs were a good idea all it does is turn a bad situation into a worse situation for those who are outnumbered. I honestly do not know what the numbers to ratio is in order for that outnumbered buff to turn on but it really does not do much for the side that has lower numbers. They need to rename it to " You do not want to be here right now because you are seriously outnumbered and your going to die a horrible death buff " I can remember it only appearing when things were really really bad. And that buff is not going to help your team turn things around at all.

When outnumbered on our borderland, we know we will die. But that i just so positive. Because we dont need to pay repairs, we just engage all fights, even those where we are heavily outnumbered, just to bash at least one enemy head.
It is fun for us, trolling 50 enemies with 15 guildies, trying to survive as long as we can and maybe to kill some enemy and just to hold them for a second or two.
But we enjoy it every time.

To be honest if you look at it this way, it’s rewarding for those small ninja teams but when you’re badly outnumbered in particular at Night, it’s does you no good once they realize your outnumbered.

I don’t think Stat Buffs would be the best way to deal with things, they nerfed the Bloodlust to an extent that I don’t think it’s such a huge difference anymore.
Perhaps giving the out-numbered the ability to Carry more supply, or even increase the movement speed wouldn’t imbalance things too much.

I’m not sure that’s how outnumbered works.

I’ve been in the same party with both opposing servers, and they’ve both had the outnumbered buff. In your scenario where there’s a 60 man blob rolling your 10 man group and the third server’s 5 man group, I think you’d both have the buff.
