Guild Wars 2

If you guys don’t know, in Ragnarok Online, there is a GvG mode called War of Emperium (WoE) where guilds take over castles and try to hold them until the mode ends. The point of the mode is to hold the castles when the mode ends and any castles you still have you’re allowed to loot everything inside.

The positives is that a mode like this doesn’t use PPT but rather a flat “you got it/you don’t got it”, meaning a crucial team fight at the last second could mean a castle for your guild. Likewise, small contingencies can sneak a castle at the last second if it’s poorly guarded. Since the schedule is set in stone and only for a few hours, night coverage wouldn’t be a thing. Being “swingy” may sound bad but it makes the game alive until it ends. With PPT, being super behind is like “why bother trying”.

The negatives of this system is that to translate this kind of mode to GW2 would mean that there wouldn’t be a 24/7 game mode. Also the nature of capping objectives at the last second means the game becomes swingy which may encourage collusion between servers even more. If this was for weekends only, people who play during the week wouldn’t be able to participate.

But I feel like if WvW was just a weekend event it would be a lot better than the night capping problems and the barrenness of non-Gold servers.

Who’s weekend?
Your weekend on Sat/Sunday, or those who have their weekend on other days due to their job?

Who’s Night?
Your night or my night, because Im sure our “nights” are not the same since I dont work a 9-5 job.

Doing PPT cap @5 minutes before tick…is ok for a camp, but for the Base Reward Mechanic for all of WvW…

You’re right…it’s “Too swingy” for me. Sorry, but I’ll have to pass on this suggestion, but thanks for trying to offer a solution for ANet to consider.

No it should be like WvW not some random game you like.
