Guild Wars 2

So the main issue that many of the lower servers are having (at least on the North American servers) is that other guilds from different parts of the world are joining “North American” servers and night capping. I talked to someone the other day who’s guild was switching to an overseas server so they could be the “night cap” team. So the larger servers have large pvp guilds from different parts of the world that when its night time here its daytime their which is why they have the 24/7 full coverage. To me that is cheating if everyone is in the world fighting but they have an advantage because everyone goes to bed and you have a fresh pvp population because they are overseas and its daytime for them how is that fair? Also, don’t give me well you need to recruit overseas players. They should not be playing on a North American server. I’m also wondering if some of the lag issues are caused by this as well.

The “North American” servers simply mean that the servers are located in NA and will reset at NA timezones. It is nothing about who can play and who can’t. Sometimes, I have run with the night cap zerg because that’s when I’ve been online and playing W3 during spare time. I’m not “cheating” because I live in Australia, work odd hours and want to play with my US friends. I paid for the game, like everyone else.

If you want to pay for my mates to fly over to another country so I can play with them on a different server without them lagging and then write to my boss about changing my work schedule, go for gold.

sPvP is always open if you want even matches with everyone on at the same time.

Success in WvW needs to be decided by battlefield prowess, not by which geographic regions your playerbase comes from.

If you live in Australia and you want to play with your North American friends then they should make some international servers where everyone from all over can play and make area restricted servers so there is not all this night capping going on or WHOLE guilds moving to a server just to night cap.

You mean like… How every server is available to anyone who wants to play currently? You seem to want other players to move, yet don’t want to move yourself.

Like I said, “North America” is simply the location and the time resets etc are. An “International” server wouldn’t make sense because you can’t have some omnipotent server that is both everywhere and nowhere with resets both all the time and never. That simply doesn’t make sense. The server would still be based SOMEWHERE and server space is not cheap.

Like Anet has already said: W3 is a constant 24 hour battle. It was designed that way. Just like IRL, warfare isn’t going to stop because someone took a nap.

If you want a temporary battle that only suits you, there are PvP maps up that will match you to players that play when you do.

In before the lock! Because it will be locked.

It is not an exploit to live in a different timezone and WvW is a 24 hour event.

ok there is a difference between 24 hour battle and capping when everyone else is asleep. If I was in the army lets say and in North America I can’t teleport to Austraila and take your town when you go to sleep.
