Guild Wars 2

So now with server linking we have a problem with queues sometimes, and some people want DBL back, and some don’t, but mixing ABL and DBL would make for unbalanced matches.

So…why not have 1 ABL and 1 DBL map per side? so 7 maps total including EB. Then people could spread out and relieve the queues…and play on the whichever map they prefer.

Thought about this actually, just wasn’t certain about the population levels to support it. I think we would need ANets numbers to understand where the queues are at for all servers. Last night prime time in two US time zones the only map queued was EB in T3. Some of the forum posters in EU T1 had queues on multiple maps, some posting that T1 NA had none but EB. As I said we would need ANet’s numbers which we don’t have.

The core problem is that we would still have *1* EBG, and now twice as many BL (which rarely are queued in the first place).

If anything, it would make more sense to add more EBG (or EBG like maps), to lessen the stress on EBG. So in that regard, reworking DBL into a DBG and adding as an extra BG map would make more sense.

Thus: EBG+DBG+3ABL

(Personally I’d prefer the same treatment to ABL -> ABG, but I’ve had enough of running from the pitchforks of the alpine fans for a while. See TheGrimm’s latest thread on what I consider a better idea.)
