Guild Wars 2

What date?

We’ve only been back a couple days so all we know is it’s every two weeks. So seeing as how the link was there before reset is it safe to assume the new linking will be next reset ?

On another note, why did they bother with linking?
Why didn’t they just merge servers so it wasn’t as chaotic?
Recruiting is a nightmare because of Linking.
I just don’t get the thought process behind this brainchild.

Since we have decided to reevaluate every 2 months we will be reevaluating the current world links and making adjustments on the very last Friday of every even month starting this month on the 24th.

We seriously have to wait that long? Man I came to wvw because spvp was a mess. But here I find that wvw is in even worse shape.

we are 2 weeks into an 8 week link.

There was a vote to keep linking or dump it and “keep” won. there was another vote for how long to keep links. 1 month was the ‘most popular’ (not a majority) choice of 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, or 6 months. It was not overwhelming, so Anet did some averaging of votes to come up with 2 months. Some were ok with the averaging and some thought it was a way for Anet to avoid more work since Anet originally proposed 3 months…

And then there was the dbl votes…..

WvW will continue to be a mess as long as skilled groups keep migrating to servers with more skilled groups.

Was there an option for no linking at all? Lol as an outsider it just seems weird. I’m in Darkhaven and our two matchups have three and four servers. There’s almost never a time when we are outnumbered, and there are so many enemy players it’s even tough to roam.

From my understanding, all the skill groups are more or less gone.

It would be nice if they added a server chat, sorta like /map but specific to the server you are on for the purposes of recruiting if nothing else.

Both modes are in very bad shape. Heck the whole game basically is.

August 26 is when the next linking occurs.

I expect T4 to be long dead by then…

T4? is that what we are? I thought it was T-bleh

perhaps a server from the cd monstrosity would like to volunteer to come to dh/ebay? and we can possibly even our match-up up a little for the remainder of the linkage.
I am sure ANET can manually relink-move a group around for the “greater good” since that is how they do polls, right?

A who you think that will want to be in the short end of the stick when they have a easy win at their hands… If Anet ever intent of moving one of the servers, they better just roll a dice for the choice.

I’m on BP, and though I’ve had fun being in the OP quadserver, I think it needs to change. I don’t care about winning, but I think its important that the teams be somewhat even, otherwise the “losing” worlds get discouraged – from my times on BP when it was unlinked, I know that feeling all too well.

One of the worlds should move to DH as soon as possible, before the next official relink.

I wouldn’t mind if Kaineng swapped to the smallest one, but I honestly don’t know how much we would add at this time. (I haven’t played much lately, so don’t know numbers etc).

But I’m betting most of the guys I usually play with, has been wondering why they don’t have an Outnumbered buff, and wondering if the game is bugged

yeah, i understand, but how many times at reset do you care about your rewards from the previous week?
I know, all week long, the overall idea is to “win”…
but if winning on its own starts to become pretty boring, wouldn’t most people wanna shake things up? If not, then everyone would just run dire/perp pu mesmers, lol.

You need to think like the majority man, and the majority of the players are casuals who pop in WvW with the intention of winning and not to have fun with fights or whatever. Their fun is based in their capability of winning. If they can’t win, they will just bail and do somenthing else or even transfer to somewhere where they can “win”.

I’ve been at the bottom of the barrel many times and it ain’t pretty. People don’t want to be there, and sure as hell they won’t be if they have a choice of not being there.

Boooo
Winning is for losers

add in the new personal reward tracks and yes winning is very important to some…..

My mind is blown.
