Guild Wars 2

When a world has 25% more people than you:
-Receive a 7.5% boost in stats

At 50% more you gain:
-15% boost in stats

Something of that nature that adds into the already existent “Outnumbered” buff. The karma experience boosts it gives are great but overall not helpful against the other teams. They are also very difficult to utilize because you’re so overwhelmed you arent getting xp or karma for much to begin with.

Who agrees?

I agree, my server is facing the same problem EU Desolation. And we arnt only outnumbered but two french servers are taking one side and attacking us everywhere. Its like 2v1, i find it pretty unfair to like that. Well thats my thoughts.

No amount of stat buffs will help you kill players you cannot hit because there is a 5 person cap on AoEing. If you’re out numbered you lose, plain and simple.

All a stat buff would do is give an advantage when the populations AREN’T imbalanced in a given area, which defeats the whole purpose.

I’ll never grow bored of correcting this misconception.

It’s not helpful because it’s not meant to be helpful.
The Outmanned buff is not meant to help you, it’s meant to motivate you.

Look around, no such mechanic exists in WvW that tries to help the losing side or hinder the winning side.

I remark my ideas on resolving outnumbered scenario

i like your idea.

I have also seen posts about swapping outmanned buffs and the orbs buff.

I think this is also a good idea. Still motivates people to get the orbs, does not cause imbalance to those servers that own all 3 orbs due to being more populated.
