Guild Wars 2

It’s late — and I’ve had a few to many beers — but what if….

…after midnight, PST, Anet were to shut down all North American Boarder Land Maps except for Eternal Battle Grounds?

Kind of like how 7-11 or Walmart closes down & ropes off their liquor sales area until the next morning…

No wait…I meant how Denny’s ropes off part of their dinning room area during really late night hours.

Helps keep that part of the dinning room all nice & clean until the next morning.

Hmm…that just might work.

Do you want to kill WvW, because this is how you kill WvW.

Do you realise how many people play on NA servers that are not in NA, if you remove or restrict there play times, NA wont have the numbers to populate WvW alone for fights, you’d be better off asking Anet to close WvW down completely.

the key is to not combat population imbalance as to seek population normilization.

to do that you need to encourage more people to come to wvw which means having enough room for them all and having more than just EotM to hold the overflow. We need more maps not less and more incentive to come to all of them. Increase the wvw community and you will naturally get more coverage.

now the new maps wouldn’t have to be open all the time but if they rotated open and closed like i talk about in my thread you can get a little of that concentration. but even in low pop times if the maps would open but offered a good boost or buff to the sides that control it then the population would flow to them giving you the fights. yes the other maps may ghost but that is no different than now and just like float teams leave scouts now they could do so with the additional maps

You forgot to say when WvW should open again. If you shut it down at midnight PST and don’t open it we have problems. Beer can do this to you.

Ignoring all the “foreigners” like me, just for the sake of argument, how does your idea work for the NA players who do shift work? And which of the time zones between Oregon and Maine are you going to designate as being important enough to get the full play time, and which will you assign less hours to? Then add the rest of the world and the players out here who also paid good money to play this game.

I think we’re mostly agreed that there are players on at all times now -especially after the server linking started. It’s the number of players on that we need to sort out now, and in my opinion shutting the maps down probably wouldn’t fix that.
