Guild Wars 2

I’ve heard this opinion brought up in Teamspeak, and I agree with it… if WvW goes to two week long battles it may be too much, too long. Right now, a week is feeling about right. Yet, not including this weeks great matchup (JQ/SBI/IoJ), I’ve seen matches decided and practically over after the weekend ended. Shorter than a week is too quick I feel though… the burnout from the 24hr matches was being felt, you didn’t want to commit too much siege (and coin) with quick resets coming, etc.

So what do you all think… would two weeks be too long for the matches? Would it be worth trying and seeing how it goes? Have we heard anything as of late as to whether or not ANet is considering going to two weeks in the near future, or are they content with the week long matches?

well IMO 1 week matches are great for tier 1 and 2 servers aka the top 6. However longer matches would be better for everyone bellow them and that would only work if they found a way to fix the PoP limits/restrictions that allows one server to barely have 20 on and another with ten and the 3rd with 100.

I think it’s too early to introduce 2 weeks match-ups. It could be interresting in a couple of months as it would give 2 full week-ends but at the moment it would be overkill in most cases.

I would like to see an end to free server transfers before WvW is extended to 2 week matches.

I would like to see matches start on Monday to lower the start-of-match variance and crash that happens in every division. If they do that I may re-evaluate what I think of 2-week matchups.

With WvW’s current design and how easy it is for servers with a slight advantage over their competitors to snowball their matches, 2 week long matches would be the nail in the coffin. Even after free transfers end, unless the servers are perfectly balanced in their respective tiers,(which will never happen) this will continue to occur.
