The removal of the orbs has lead to a much better WvW experience! However, I still think the outmaned buff should be more than exp/karma etc. It should be a handicapping system.

They are working on it but these out manned buff needs to change with all these pugs, bots, afk people ruining it as well as encouraging losing sides to farm instead of doing something useful in pvp. The loser’s repair costs doesn’t help keep pvp balanced either.

They can switch the orb thing into something more dynamic and fun when people gets bored with the zerg and pvdoor. Something individuals and small groups can do that can help an entire server in general and can lessen the “follow the zerg mentality”. It should be Exploit free and each event uniquely Fun and doesn’t lose the PVP side of things that makes world vs world. Also it should not favor the winning server but lets them work reeeeaaaaal hard to monopolize it, make it temporary with shorter time durations where people can be active whole time around and random (not predictable where massive zerg knows which doors to smash down or areas to dominate)

If your realm can not field the people it needs to compete in the tier you are in, you don’t belong there. Do you really want to know you beat another server because you had a handicap?

The handicap goes away once enough people are in your battleground… There is no way someone is going to win if they are having the unmanned buff simply because they don’t have enough people – Hence the buff. It just gives them a fighting chance against the massive zerg groups that are attacking them.

“You don’t belong there” sounds like you are blaming us for choosing to be in a certain bracket. Some of us (especially ET now) are having to wait each week to drop down in brackets before we are equally matched with a server of lower population due to the mass transfers we suffered.

250 years later, still haven’t forgotten…

While I understand and support the removal of the orbs. It’s also taken away an extra dynamic to WvW.

I don’t know if it’s due to this or the fact I’m getting to a certain ‘stage’ (stage?) with WvW where it doesn’t feel like I’m doing much, that I’m mostly PvD.

Anyone else had this recently due to orbs missing or is this more systemic?

Guardian replies, “No, but how’d the elementalist die?”
