Guild Wars 2

The current match up system will attract more player to play WvW.
We want more variety. I mean why not, spawn camp is fun. Totally balance..cheers

Seems pretty balanced.°
Accepting SBI and YB transfers to FA.

yeah its looking a little 1 sided at the min, btw my side is red, lol

Mag going ppt mode? If this isn’t a sign of the apocalypse, I don’t know what is.

Nah… That’s merely our old friend Population Imbalance… FA did pretty much the same except that they don’t have the nightly coverage that Mag does.

Also, if Mag really want to avoid this matchup again, they should ppt their kitten s off so their rating get away.

Not really a thing of avoidance, this was projected to be a 2% chance we got this match up, and poof it happened. Its similar to that 20% chance of getting the match up we did last week, as opposed to the 78% chance of the one we’d had for months straight.

Its only a week. I’d rather have this variety and this kind of match for a week than the same servers for weeks on end.

My heart goes out to Mag. It must be killing them that they can’t complain about other servers Pvding, blobbing and being PPT heroes this week. Stay strong, guys o/

So you are telling me that arenanet can create a beautiful and detail rich game with really fun combat and really minimal bugs where miraculously I can play with people all around the world but they can’t make even slightly fair match ups?

There is no question in my mind that it is in large part due to the player base and their desire to play without sportsmanship but you can’t tell me arenanet can’t do anything.

This matchup was due to the random variance that Anet introduced into WvW matchups.

Do you know why Anet introduced random variance into WvW matchups? They introduced it because people like you complained non-stop about having stale matchups.

Of course, now that random variance is in the game, people also like you complain non-stop about having the occasional week of unbalanced WvW. It’s a no-win situation for Anet.

Wow that matchup looks very boring for Green. As for the other colors looks like they will be EoTM’s for that week.

Just remember when it come’s down to points it comes down to one thing, population. If Anet wanted to do some thing meaningful to WvW they would simply merge the servers into say 9 servers and close down the rest.

That or Anet could give a reason to even go into WvW outside of killing low skilled players.

Do you know why people complained non stop about stale matchups? Because they were stale – AND unbalanced too. Since beta people were telling Anet they needed to do something about the imbalance in the server populations.

They chose to ignore the issue/declare it was a non-issue. They could have and still could do things to mitigate the imbalance. But like with all the other topics in WvW they do nothing.

Having the reset on an American national holiday shook things up a bit. It’ll be more interesting in the upcoming days.

This pic is just lame. U are a T 2.5 server, u get ur kitten kicked in T2, u should know how that feel to be spawn camped. Do that to a much less populated server, knowing how morale breaking that is, is just plain stupid.

T2.5 wat?

FA is the strongest of t2, Mag is second while SoS is third currently.

I don’t believe I’ve ever complained about having stale match ups but I appreciate your point.

Rather, it’s a no win situation for the players because Anet made lame choices when designing WvWvW. Sometimes the matches are a blowout, sometimes it’s just stale, sometimes it’s both. Server centric teams with a global player base being scored 24/7 for a week on three open maps is problematic at best. The complaints are legitimate.

Variety is the Spice of WvW and so on.. I’d rather fight new Servers even if it meant us steamrolling them in terms of Coverage and even if they dislike us for that.
