Guild Wars 2

I still feel then new map as overflow prevents dispersion of wvw players. And will add to shift of players to top tiers. The map limit is the only thing that gives people a chance in wvw. And the sport metaphor for wvw is completely broken and shouldn’t even be justified.

yup, its broken, and I doubt it will ever work properly due to the community shifting to the winners circle ever chance they get. but I still play daily because of NSP pride. we already know our place in the ranking and have nothing more to lose. so we chant F[kitten]K PPT! and go out solely to stack your corpses in the streets. that’s what wvw is all about for us, the fighting.

New map will fix everything because ______

bwahahahaha

Silver league is way too top heavy. FA and SBI clearly belonged in the same fight club as the T2 servers but there was just no way to make that happen.

I just hope that they do not repeat this disaster because it’s clear we need time for things to shake out and the transfer madness to shake out.

I’m really looking forward to the post season and I think FA and SBI are going to lose a gear or two when they are forced to downshift.

Silver league is funny for us. We do more than fine during prime, then get all our stuff reduced to rubble by PvD nightcappers, ruining our chance of a decent place.

I’m a bit frustrated, but spanking people who are placed waaaaay above us is fun! They think we’re a crappy little server because of our placing and score, then get pulverised during their own primetime. Lols and rolfcakes abound! So in the end, that reward will satisfy much more than some crappy chest.

Here is an image to illustrate the difference between primetime and night-coverage.

Without going to deep into this discussion

I believe you cant compare this to sports considering sports teams dont have to have 24 hour coverage and also they get breaks in between games.

Personally, they need to break us up by time zone and have the PPT be rewarded as such

Red Time Zone score – EST
Blue Time Zone score – EU
Green Time zone score – OCE

As examples.

We may be more skillful during our peak but it doesnt show because our off peak isnt there.

Setting us up on a 24 hour counter is where the problem is.

They could have even designated servers where from time A – time B = PPT growth, this means NA players could go up against them for skill rather then coverage.

EU players could take on other EU players, etc.

Currently, the only problem with WVW is coverage issues.

what if you work evenings, or play mornings, like to avoid the queues and play off peak

I thought what they were saying was that you’d have 3 different matches basically. A NA one. An Ocn/Sea one. And a EU one.

They would each score differently. And ideally they’d each have their own rating and be matched up against different servers that match they’re strength. Anyone can play at any time still.

(I’ve suggesed this before and someone suggested it in the Colaborative thread. It is the absolute best idea and way to arrange things. Of course it didn’t even get a comment from Anet which probably means its not technically possible. Too bad, it would fix the population balance and the coverage issue all in one.)

so here’s the problem with wvw were theres one server that totally dominates the other two because they have 60 man zergs on every borderland weres the balance in that?its no wonder servers give up on going into wvw they see no point in playing a part of a game were its so unfair i reckon if the ppt was much closer on all 3 servers the servers would have somthing to fight for!

Hey now, wait. We have 60 mans on every map? Please, most of that week (not weekend) we had little to no presence on SBI BL

We would normally queue a BL, and EB, and have a good presence in the other. Yeah, I know, that is why we win. Coverage and numbers.

I do want to say, that I have enjoyed the fights you have put up. Borlis Savers has been fun to fight against.

This was one of many solutions that Anet were presented with. Let’s see which ones get plucked from the tombola… …if any.

There’s no way for seasons to be balanced because there will always be a flight to the projected winners prior to launch, thus making the winners a self-fulfilling prophecy.

bloodlust is dumb. anything that provides negative feedback is dumb. Sooooo you reward coverage with buffs making it harder for smaller pop servers to compete.

This is poor design and has been since daoc relics but designers never learn.

clue: servers with more pop dont need buffs.
