Guild Wars 2

It’s not in this game but it should be. Because in WvW – Guild Wars 2 style – all you need is the numbers (zerg)… no strategy needed and once you have it on lock then you just hold. I understand that Anet says it will be several months before balance but I still think that the Zerg will rule… Nothing wrong with that in my opinion however I just think that there should be a mechanic in place to counter this all too common game enthusiasim killer. I can’t remember what game it was … I want to say “Planetside” possibly … but when one side had major numbers the lesser side got certain perks or conditions that allowed the game to remain competative instead of just allowing the ppl with the most uh…people to faceroll all comers.

Why do people insist on thinking that there isn’t a cap on numbers in WvWvW?

Didn’t Aion do that?

Why do people insist on thinking that every server reaches the cap on numbers in WvWvW?

I still think buffs because you are undermanned sucks because I enjoy having small scale fights. Which are thrown out the window if the undermanned side gets drastic buffs.

Ahh but Anet already has a mechanic … at least in PvE … where adversitie scales depending on how many ppl are in the event why not apply that here? I don’t know maybe it can’t be done in PvP but don’t see why?

I actually kind of agree with this. I’m on a winning server, and I absolutely hate the orbs of power. I always go with 2 or 3 people and try to get into small scale fights, but it really does not feel good when I have 8% extra HP from the accumulated points, 15% extra HP from the orbs, and 150 bonus stats.

I mean, we’re already winning — why are we getting buffs for it as well? Give us extra karma/magic find and things like that. Don’t give us extra stats.

The dumb thing is that it gives the undermanned teams exp/magicfind/karma instead of anything useful. If I’m outmanned 5 to 1 I wouldn’t even be getting karma or kills. Give the underdogs useful buffs or none a all because the current buff is kinda insult to injury!

yea the game needs planetsides health incentives so i can roll around with 80%more hitpoints than everybody else while humping a wall with a jackhammer…. there’s a reason it didn’t stay ingame…

All we need is a nice good 1 minute AoE mez.

When I first saw this thread I thought he was gonna say spam arrow carts that counters zergs….but no it’s about buffs

Gate Ball anyone?
