Guild Wars 2

I’d guess 70-80. I’ve never seen a zerg larger than that, even during reset when everyone is stacked on one guy.

Last week we were 90 people on TS joining empty map and only half get in.

and my server just confirmed we have a que at around 30 people.

- update – looked more or less like 50 …between zerg and roamers ..but nowhere near 90

Blix.8021:

Any tier 1 player will tell you emphatically that the cap is much more than 60. Any commander even in lower tiers can gather a zerg, /supplyinfo and get way more than 60. Stop saying the number 60. It just makes anything else you say look stupid.

Lot of commanders seem to be confirming my low ball number bro. So next time you call others stupid, try and do some research yourself. Because otherwise you look stupid.

As I said it does hover around 60-80. I am going to go with 80 as being the safe bet.

For those saying its below 80, your wrong.. just today in TC we had a group of over 80 not counting the roamers in the BL.

I find it curious why we are not having a clear answer on this. I wonder if it is game breaking to know the total population per map.

However, like the above posters have written, I have had 95+ people on me at one time, notwithstanding the afk on crafting, roaming etc.

the question is are all servers the same – I saw the outmanned buff come on with about 30 people transferring to borderlands at once following a commander. I had to que to get in Eternal, and there was zero ques in borderlands all of which had outmanned buffs and very small amount of roamers – the outmanned buff would disappear when we ported to a BL

I think all three borderlands are the same except for eternal battlegrounds since the map is bigger and there are more targets here. But I might have guessed on the EB part. I find it is safe to say the map cap is near 100, give or take where if it reaches that number someone in WVW is kicked, and or the player with the least comp spec crashes.

guys we have gathered 100 on ts even more after SFR died the first time after free transfers and basicly from what we know the limit is 100-125. Why I say this because when all our russian go one map they fill it and make hours q. so the limit is some where there and in one Q&A devs said it is 500 for all maps so…

Mhmm… in my opinion anything more than 60 players on 1 map per server becomes a really unplayable experience. Tons of disconnects and skill lagg. 40-40-40 is just about playable.

I’ve seen zergs very close to 90, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one break 90.

I think that might be the cap or maybe like 95-100. It’s not much higher than that. I’ve come into a completely empty map with two other guild groups and we had 86 people total and it was queued after that. And I see supplyinfos over 80 while pugmanding on the reg.

In a BL or EBG? EBG has a much higher cap than the BLs. Fairly certain the BL cap is 80 and the EB cap is 120.

Both.

Perhaps it’s kept secret so it can be changed without causing an outcry. If it can and being occasionally changed (for performance reasons for example), this by itself can cause controversy. Hence secrecy.

I’m pretty sure this number is very close to 80 people, unchanging.

What Yaro said is the truth, they even confirmed this a few months back.

Why would you want to know this info anyway, it wont let you fit more people in with this knowledge and you cant tell who is going to play when so you cant plan anything either.
