Guild Wars 2

With the full implementation of Mega-servers now it makes me wonder what WvW is going to end up like. We had a server system with a specific game play mechanic that pitted Servers against each other, but now “servers” are gone except for in WvW….

This makes me think that a huge change in WvW is coming in the future. (This point forward is all predictions)

Now ArenaNet has already stated that they will be making guilds cross server (Im not sure if this is already true.) Now with that fact in mind; What if with the next “Feature Pack” update, we get Guild halls and alliances? I believe this could be very plausible of happening in the near future. and with this change comes a bigger change. WvW… will be gone, and in its place will be AvA or GvG (whichever way they decide to put it.) So instead of BGvTCvJQ it would be Alliance A v. Alliance B v. Alliance C.

I honestly see that if this is where they are planning on going, then the Megaservers make a whole lot more sense (IMO). It would even allow for a couple of things most ppl are asking for. A.) An ability to make a “server” alliance for the loyalists. B.) A “home instance” for thus said alliance. C.) Also the chance to do matchups of hyper hardcore WvW’ers and matchups for smaller, more casual Alliances.

What do you guys think of this Idea. And yes, I know the loophole of the people who don’t run with a Guild…. But maybe you guys have an Idea for this too.

It still does – that is your server in WvW – it just made no sense in PvE. When they say cross-server they mean PvE. The server you were on before the Mega- server patch is still your server for WvW and PvP, unless you moved servers.

If you are awaiting serious comments, post your thread on Reddit, you won’t get any useful comments in this forum.

If you post this for hating, then you are at the right place, you will see people bashing ANet and GW2 in a second.

Welcome to the forums!

the thing is I can go to pvp mists etc and get paired with people not in my world the literal ONLY place your server is still upheld is WvW

Once the Anet train starts moving in one direction, it never stops: the future is server merges in the form of EoTM style matches.

I would love to see them switch up the 3 homelands and make each different but equal in competitive play.

there is zero chance of them slaying the server transfer cash cow, expect to see more reasons to switch servers introduced, not less.

WvW megaserver all go clockwise and dont PvP just cap undefended towers/keep for easy karma WxP…

The mods really need to sticky the post made by Devon saying megaservers are never coming to wvw for the foreseeable future.

That probably still won’t make the conspiracy theorists take off their tinfoil hats…

Anyway, the most likely scenario I can imagine is WvW as we know it simply being allowed to run its course. Servers will probably continue to cannibalize each other’s WvW communities on a semi-regular basis in an effort to stay on top of the food chain until the point where natural player attrition makes this strategy unviable. The eventual outcome will be a few, strong servers at the top, with the rest either dead or dying.

In other words, the status quo.

Given how noncompetitive WvW has become in all but the upper tiers of Gold league it does make sense to reconsider the whole server entity vs. server entity system.

With the current system coverage is the all deciding factor and that probably won’t change.

They just need to find a new system to bring them all together. Maybe instead of fixed severs we’ll have a “campaign” system where everyone can pick their preferred match-up.

Maybe servers will be split into German 1, German 2, French 1, Spanish 1, English 1-5 entities that are independent of you actual server.

I’m sure that changes are coming to WvW because whatever system we currently have isn’t working out that well.
