Guild Wars 2

I keep hearing, wait a bit, it’s self-correcting, they’re get it eventually? WHEN?

My guild is slowly disappearing, hardly playing anymore. We’re on a low ranked server, that had ONE week out of SIX that was even a reasonably decent fight. The rest, it was over in the first day, with the winning server owning 90-95% of the map all week. This week looks to be no exception, it’s already over.

Each week we’ve lost pvp guilds, because it’s just painful to play. WHEN is ANet going to stop with the mutha fargin’ server transfers? It was supposed to last what, 3-4 days, maybe a week? It’s been SIX weeks, our server is becoming a WvW ghost town. I want to stay, but ANet does not reward server loyalty, only server hopping.

I was a huge supporter of GW2, got my guild to leave our last mmo for this, and I’m thinking it was a big mistake, I think I owe them an apology. And the silence from ANet is not reassuring, because I’m hearing squat.

Anet has said several times that they won’t balance WvW (Not that it matters when you look at how much success they had with stuff they want to balance).

So likely never or when the population has dropped by 50% again (A few weeks after TOR F2P start might be a good date to check back).

There is absolutely no reason to harbour loyalty for servers yet. Instead of fighting the situation, deal with it.

If your fun is building up a server from the ground to be competitive in WvW, then do it. If your fun is having epic battles in WvW, then you go to the battle. You can’t expect everything to fall into place around your feet.

Stop blaming the game, and start blaming yourself.

They’re going to end up with WvW servers and other PvE only servers unless they do something. Maybe thats their plan but I somehow doubt it.

What a useful response. Obviously one person, on a dead server, can really turn the tide. Give me a break…

Reading comprehension fail. By “go to the battle” I mean go to where the action actually is. And if that isn’t on your server, you find one that does.

And if you mean one person can’t bring a server out of “dead” status, then I agree. But then my idea of fun isn’t getting PvP atrophy sitting in a server that has no intentions of doing anything in WvW.

I agree on this but since there is like fighting 1 to 5 all time its nothing you can do about it, the problem still remains, server transfer kill the fun out of this game fast, Anet sits calmly and servers are soon broken into ghosts, u know, less than 1h after reset and the whole week are set, sure its fun to be a underdog and still make it a few fights but this isnt about that at all… whats the point of the reset and new server setup if its not balanced at all? facerolled all time being outnumber like this is NOT FUN!!! …

Go defend it, i will never agree on it, and soon your superior servers will have no fun as well

Kralous.7563 It’s apparent you are on a winning or at least competitive server, or else you wouldn’t be so flippant. I’ve been WvW almost every day doing my best, but when you are constantly outnumbered and losing pvp guilds regularly, it’s just an exercise in frustration. My server came in dead last 5 weeks out of 6, finally finished 2nd (barely) last week, and we’re back to controlling nothing again this week.

People will either jump servers, like they’ve been doing, or quit, which I see happening too. And maybe you’re fine with that, but when 2/3 are constantly dominated by 1/3, guess what, you might eventually lose a LOT of people. And there’s a point when you lose enough critical mass, that player driven things like WvW will become nothing more than a few small teams running around pretty empty maps.

Or as morrolan said “They’re going to end up with WvW servers and other PvE only servers”

If truly you’re on a hopeless server, then server transfers is your only hope for redemption, either get off the server or get in influx of new players transfering on.

No way can you hope to get enough new accounts coming in — it’ll take either transfers or a seismic shift in community spirit.

For what it’s worth, my server lost and lost and lost, starting back in BWEs, and now has grown some competitive legs. And I fully recognize that it only takes one guild to fill a wvw map. Transfers may give you some talent/expertise, but really it starts with fielding a team, and that IS something a group of concerned players can do. Maybe you can’t win the week — don’t think about that. See if maybe you can take a supply camp, or take a tower.

Go out in a lop-sided match and you’ll see, there’s no one playing. Of course it’s lop-sided. Self-fulfilling prophecy.
