Guild Wars 2

Arena Net set up this game with the intent to make the game experience positive for the gamming community. By far this is the greatest MMO I have ever played and I greatly appreciate all the hard work that went into creating the game.

Every once in a while A. Net comes out with something that detracts rather than adds to the positive gaming experience. In my opinion the new achievement system for WvW is a huge mistake for the moment because the system can not handle the surge of people wanting to get onto the WvW servers.

Now I’ve heard A. Net is trying to make some overflow servers for WvW. In my opinion this is throwing good money after bad. Rather than spend money for more servers, just take down the new WvW achievements UNTIL the game is ready to support the surge of players flooding the WvW. If they don’t we are in trouble.

First the queues are 2+ hours to get in.
Second, WvW dedicated guilds can’t get their guilds in onto the maps greatly hampering structured WvW game play. I love having new players on the WvW maps but on SOR we have so many wanting to get on there’s just no way everyone can be accommodated. This will drive people that where curious about WvW further away from the experience and dedicated WvW guilds will start losing members because members can play as a guild.

So in summary, great idea but poor strategy. I’m really surprised that A. Net did not anticipate these problems and have a plan in place BEFORE they implemented the Living World achievements for WvW.

Greatly disappointed with their decision.

NSP had a queue and we usually have barren boarderlands. They would need a solution that would work for both high population servers and low population servers.

I have to agree with you there. I like that they are adding more achievements to WvW, but the implementation is lackluster because the people that actually like to do WvW and do WvW cannot get in (at least in higher pop servers, that have a large number of PvErs). I don’t know how they would go about giving the season rewards without the achievements, but this way is just killing the game type because people who are just joining in now are not going to see it for what it really is; and the harcore WvW players are just going to start quitting the game because they can’t get into their favorite aspect of the game because of a poorly made decision

Maybe this will become the grand destacking of T1 servers?!:D:D Seriously doubt it, but we can all hope.
