Guild Wars 2

Outnumbered Buff is pretty worthless. I would love to see instead, that when outnumbered, Mystic NPC’s spawn and put a barrier around the servers keep to prevent it from falling. It is beyond tedious to have keeps fall to servers with high overnight populations. One DE server loves to take the keeps and then camp people leaving the entrance area. How can that be considered fair or fun.

think through what your suggestion would actually mean:

“Hey guys, they’re about to break through our Bay’s outer gate, everyone switch maps”

Obviously they would need implement it with safeguards, try to use some imagination.

My imagination only sees all the ways this could be abused.

Your idea shares the same flaws as all the other “night capping prevention” suggestions that have been made over the last year. They all break down because it’s way too easy to exploit them and they generally encourage players to not play.

Yeah not fun. Can think of a certain DE server guilty of doing this. Camping in the spawn after taking the keep, building ac’s etc. 50 vs 10 or less. This type of game play will eventually kill the rounds or perhaps the game itself. People will avoid playing the said servers which has a negative effect even for the guilty server as there will be nothing to capture after a day or two. Same sort of scenario you see when one server completely dominates two lesser ranked servers due to superior numbers 24/7 without the negative game play.
