Guild Wars 2

Im in a matchup with db and ioj and nsp, and db has 3 times the combined total score of nsp and ioj together. Its almost 2 and a half years into the game and this still goes on. Its not fun for anyone. Its the same problem thats always existed, population. Will it finally be fixed? Can we please just merge servers or use a combo of guild alliances with a megaserver system? Being locked in the same matchup til the end of time gets real boring, and fighting anyone different ends up being impossble because we either kill someone below us or get murdered by someone above us.

Doubt it, or we’d already have the hype rammed up our noses.

I remember colin saying “a new map and we have redone the way you something someting objectives.” The way he said it made it sound like core parts of ppt in wvw were changing. A solution to this deadly problem would help WvW significantly more than a new map. A new map is cool and it looks cool, I just want the most primary problem to be fixed first.

Points per kill helped a good amount with this. I wish it was a permanent addition to the game.

Colin mentionned changing the way WvW worked. I think they are conscious of a lot of issues WvW have (I mean, people come to the forums to complain, but the WvW sub forum looks like a long suicide note), and I wouldn’t be surprised if the PPT system changed completely, for better or worse.

There is really not ever going to be a workable solution to this until there are more than 3 servers against each other. Make each tier 4 servers with 6 tiers or make each tier 6 servers with 4 tiers.
I believe the lower tiered servers are there because they want to be there – the RP servers.
Perhaps random rotating maps once HoT is released. Drastically different maps, terrain, settings – above ground mountains, cliffs -below ground caves and waterways…
who knows…

Nsp and ion should just pretend they’re golfing

LOL!

Pretty much. I’m over in DB and think that this match up is just not ok. However, in our defense, on reset night, there was little to no opposition from either NSP or IOJ. We were pretty much able to just walk over everything. None of our maps had queues or anything. So we took everything, and held them. Granted NSP has put up some awesome fights, and were able to hold off our zerg for quite a long time. Props to them!

Also while I was on SBI during the last tournament, NSP and IOJ just ate us for breakfast, and we didn’t really stand much of a chance.

But yeah, it’s mostly a population imbalance thing, but I don’t see any real solution. We got knocked out of T2 and back into T3, and unless you change it so servers are matched based on average population, there isn’t much they can do about it.

It should be about how to encourage ppl to go to lower populated servers. The problem came from people transferring from lower populated server to DB and YB before and after last season and creating four T2 servers and huge gap between T2 and below.

So we can have another Kaineng, SBI, or HoD?

Until they do something with the outnumbered buff or scale wall/door strength with population; any push downward is just going to make more problems.

True, but how do you convince someone to go to a server with such a low WvW population that makes no difference?

The ONLY reason I changed from DB from SBI is my friends had switched mainly because of “personal conflicts” with certain other guilds/commanders, and they paid for me to switch.

And if there already was such a low population they felt it more beneficial to switch, why would they want to stay? If they switch because they like WvW, but thier current server prevents them from enjoying it, the logical, and expediant thing to do would be to switch to a server that has more of an interest in the same activities.

I think they will wait the expansion with the balance. They always wait as much as possible :/ busines is busines
