Guild Wars 2

I just picked this game up again after buying it at release day and only leveling to 20. I never did WvW then so I figured I would try it out now…. HOWEVER, I can’t find it!!! The only thing I see is “Which Server is More Popular” mode. Everytime I join it, my World literally has TWO, yes two, of the fort/area things in all four of the regions. Everytime I find a group of people (at most like 10) we try to attack a place only to be insta-killed by a huge group of 20-30+ people. No matter where we try to attack, its always the same thing.

Whats the point of a mode where its just whoever has the most people on their server wins?!?!?

ALT + F4 is what you need.

20-30 people only ? be glad you aint on top tier where it is up to 150+ player swarms

however you are correct Scoreboards mean nothing when obviously the server with the most players will win . i really wish servers were matched by player population as hardly anyone gives a kitten about being on top the game can be competitive between 3 servers scoreboards are unnecesary.

This is a legitimate concern. And I would like to see how they make this mode more sensible. I don’t know how they(the devs) didn’t see this happening.

They did, this was their intention. If you can’t group and organize properly, the game won’t fix it for you. If the others have a big zerg, either try to play better, have an even bigger zerg, or split up and play tactically.

tactics dont work when there comes two 50 player zergs splitted and playing tactically.

Here’s the thing about that.

1. “Try to play better”. What does that mean exactly? If you know your class inside and out, you cannot account for the skill level of others. And I hope Anet isn’t leaning on someone mentoring random people because they care about WvWvW so much.

2. Having a bigger zerg a lot of times is not an option.

3. Coverage is key, split up a hand of of people(handful being relative) and end up being less effective in general. See points 1 and 2.

WvWvW is a matter of force and really nothing else.

here’s where it fails some of the matched servers have 3 times more players than the other servers so they leave 2 massive zergs on each maps forcing players to defend only 1 map and lose the rest also just because zergs have lots of players that doesnt make 80% of them mentally challenged and unskilled.

another thing i ve seen servers also team up to force the weakest server to stay on their tier just so they can keep farming them. example one of the servers stops defending their maps.

….

Exactly!

20-30 isn’t much. But yeah, winning comes down to numbers and coverage.

This is quite possibly the most ignorant and clueless post of the day in the entire WvW forum … and that’s saying quite a lot.

It doesn’t make you win of course, but at least it gives you fun gameplay. Deal with it, WvW will never be balanced.

Well what can we say but hello to WvW.

I assume you are either on a low WvW population server or on when most of the players are not.

Someone said that WvW was a side thing Anet added to the game, I really hope not seeing as WvW is what is keeping quite a few players on this game.
But seeing that the WvW patch in March only had 2 things WvW related, the rest being PvE content, that hacks from day 1 are still being used today, t does look like WvW is not a priority, and that is a problem.

The devs have said they will be bringing out more updates, but they are too few and far between.

Simply put, contradictory what Anet kept on saying, this game was just not ready.
Also DX9 :/

They won’t upgrade the servers. What they need to do is reduce the player cap on EB and the borderlands to a level the servers can handle. This would help balance servers as well so some of the players/guilds on servers "destack"and siphon off to other servers. I suspect this will happen eventually. I just wish it would be sooner rather than later.

That won’t solve the problem of skill lag in huge zergs but introduce other problems, like excluding large parts of the playerbase from actively playing. If anything, they should introduce more borderlands. Even low pop servers could at least team up on one of it and defend it.
