Guild Wars 2

I’d love to see this fixed and scaled to the balance of forces in a map. At present it’s a farming badge, it basically says ‘go farm some monsters’ and encourages the small number of people you have on the map to kill mobs instead of people.

I’d like to see either a damage or a defence buff or both- nothing OP but enough that it encourages people to try something on that map and maybe get something started.

When outmanned, repair costs should be zero.

Great suggestion Roo.

Ppl would abuse that and left game in primetime with all eq damadged to repair it for free when they have outmanned buff. Better would be to prevent eq from taking dmg while having outmanned buff. And as for the first post – there should be defensive bonus.

Ok so in principle, no repairs while outmanned, even if the details need tuned.

I don’t see how the outmanned buff actually helps you…

When out manned, there should be a single weapon drop in the spawn that lasts for 10mins.

It could be like an ele Volcanus drop or something, but grant like +1000 power and a temp Commander tag.
Anyone should be able to pick it up and should respawn if that person logs off or moves map.

Call it Excalibur or something. Maybe it could look like Infinite light the sword.

I think it’s designed to incentivise more people to enter the map, to take advantage of the increased rewards.

Unfortunately it probably doesnt work so well, because you don’t manage to kill or take stuff that easily when outmanned.

I guess another bonus should be, “If you die whilst outmanned, your armor does not suffer damage.”

Maybe another bonus could be, “during outmanned, you get guaranteed honor badges from every player/npc kill and every event.”

Better not…remember those people that find it funny to jump down cliffs while sitting in a golem? Yeah, exactly that people would pick up said sword and start doing the JP with it.

Someone in another thread suggested that if you have the Outmanned buff, that your AE spells are not capped at 5 targets and are instead unlimited.

I am not sure as to the feasibility of that from a coding/programming standpoint (I have no idea if non-siege AE is “hard coded” at the 5 target limit, etc.) but I thought it was definitely interesting.

I secondthird this motion.

Once there is a progression system in place in WvW, these problems will likely no longer even be an issue. Even PvE’rs that I know say they’d WvW if there was some personal gain from it or some progression.

When outmanned, each person should have their own personal armoured tank spawn in front of them for their personal enjoyment.

Its useless, you should get buffs to make you stronger, based on how many people you have and how many each of the other servers have. I would like to see an engineer fire turret kill a zerg.

provide the old orb buff as the outmanned buff. and move the current outmanned buff into orb buff when it comes back. maybe have outmanned on a timer so that u started with single orb buff, then say 30min later, its double orb, then triple.

WvW already has the ‘upscaling’ system working for lower levels.

Outmanned should use the same system but go beyond 80!

Just do the hot join method,move guys from the outnumbering team onto the outmanned team…:P

Neat idea.

outmanned should not apply to EB map – this should be the map that determines winning and loosing

on borderlands I like another suggestion (sorry cant find the link) but it was something where the more of your home borderland was lost the less damage you took from invaders

remove outmanned buff,its unbalanced
