Guild Wars 2

Ferguson Crossing is either at the top of the bottom, or getting crushed at the tier we are supposed to be in. Can the smaller servers see a little bit of love? We need a way to balance. Winning by 10x the other teams scores, 5x their combined score is not fun. Being destroyed isn’t fun.

Help?

smaller pop servers get crushed until they can reach higher pop. us vs devonas with one of the battlegrounds blocked out would be fun…then the numbers for the battlegrounds that are available would rise <- just a possible suggestion

still fun for me either way, but I do see your point

Yeah, it’s frustrating. I’m on Dragonbrand. We crushed our first match, got crushed our second match with JQ (and CD, we both got crushed by JQ), then had a competitive match with BG/FA, but now sadly a very strong off-peak crew has xferred in to BG and it looks like we’re going the way of getting crushed again.

I could care less about winning or losing, I just want the matches to be close. At most hours of the day. Getting rid of orbs to prevent snowballing would be a start. They aren’t much fun whether you are winning or losing. They’re just an annoying stat bonus that diminishes from the fights. I dont’ like fighting with the huge advantage, or fighting vs the huge advantage.

As for population imbalance, that wont’ ever change until ANet decides to end free 24h delayed transfers.

There are so many issue right now, I don’t know. I ‘m considering just xferring each day to a match that is close so that I can enjoy some good open world PvP. I would do sPvP, but sadly the only game mode is conquest. It’s rather boring.

As things stand, server strength is fluctuation too rapidly for a ranking system to match servers versus opponents with equal statistics (be it skill or population). I really want to stick with WvW, because I love the style and the PvP, but I’m beginning to lose faith. It would be nice if a developer would comment on the plans to at least keep servers in a remotely competitive bracket.

This is nothing. You should have seen desolation this morning. 1 supply camp is all we had. ALL WE HAD!

It is not a competition. Ferg has owned the entire map at some points. I have gone in a map and not found a person for over a half hour. Some times it is a better game, chase the supply camps because we have a zerg and they have 10. Some nights they even grab a tower. The first day or so was fun. Now, what is the point of playing?

You could transfer to Kaineng or DR.

Our problems are mostly population based as we were both one of the 3 post launch servers that opened up. ET got an alliance on day 1 that could field enough numbers to snowball up the ladder, but Kaineng and DR have been stuck going against a release server green team from pretty much day 2.

But we do fine for what we got. like holding out against a far superior force for over 2 and a half hours in a tiny little lord room.

I’m sure for you guys you arnt having that much fun. When we take things you zerg us off the maps and tactics and strategy has little to do with why you beat us. I’m sure thats disappointing.

(If this doesn’t come up as an image, I apologize. I’ve tried disabling textile and tried with textile enabled and ! around the image. Not sure why it’s bugged for me)

Does that make you feel better? And I sort of agree with the above poster. It’s certainly not a competion to race to last, but I still feel that people should keep trying.

Sadly, most don’t want to keep trying, and the orbs simply reinforce their belief that they can’t win. I mean, you already own absolutely nothing, why be at a disadvantage as well?

If you look at my post history, you’ll see that I’ve held this same opinion through wins and losses. The orbs are silly, this isn’t DAoC.
