Happy to see these changes. I know it was said in the forums that this change would encourage the second and third place servers to fight less against each other and more against the top server, but realistically how many people expect to see a noticeable difference in how each server plays? I don’t, people are lazy and want to kill easy targets, for second place that would be the server in third place usually
I posted this in the other thread, but I’ll post here too since nobody has mentioned it yet.
I don’t mind the top server getting double teamed, but this could result in a consistently third place server taking second place for the week.
Server A almost always wins 1st each skirmish.
Server B always takes 2nd.
Server C almost always takes 3rd.
If Server C can pull out even one 1st place in a skirmish, they’d be ranked 2nd for the week. How is that fair for Server B?
First or nothing, how does it affect the people who don’t care about winning or losing?
Let’s be honest. Scores are like a tertiary part of the game really. Nobody is trying to score points – We want;
to kill enemies, and while that’s happening;
to maintain ownership of, and upgrade our own stuff, and,
give enemies a black eye by downgrading their stuff, and,
kick them in the nuts by defending their stuff from a recap
Scores are there to make the matches even in that they should determine which enemies we get matched up with next time.
Having said all of that. I would sort of agree with your assessment, and it should give more even second and third places per match, with the dominant side being kingmaker – I expect to see more angry politics in-game as players gain more hatred for these dominators. Hatred, good! Yeeeessss..
Nobody at Anet loves WvW like Grouch loved PvP. That’s what we need, a WvW Grouch, but taller.
War score floaters: “When a player is killed, the war score will appear above the player.”
Is it me or this really shouldn’t be a thing? We must have a way to turn this off or any large scale combat is going to be terribly annoying with these floaters.
So far i dont really mind it however an option to disable/relocate them would be nice. It’s like the xx has capped xx message; right in your face, along with all the aoe particle spam it gets really cluttered.

Don’t argue with idiots, they pull you down their level and own you with experience.
Very needed changes, one of the best these years. Been requested so many times and they finally did it weeeee.
can we have more npc that flees when you loose a tower-keep?
Yes, wvw needs more dynamic events to make it more realistic.
Other things could be adding trees around camps, and make another npc which goes to chop the wood and bring it back to the camp before increasing sups. Of course if an enemy player kills it, it doesnt affect the sups, or maybe it should?
Something really needs to be added to the skritt and centaur areas, they are just dead zones in the alpine maps. Maybe make them like the hylek and dredge in eb, cap it and it spawns npcs which help attack the camp and perhaps even towers.
They updated some classes in wvw it was just not a pure spvp thing. The slow on traps over daze is a big deal for wvw as blocking was becoming more of a liability then def tool. Now that drg have an unblocking slow its a lot harder to pull ppl out of blocks and we may see the slow becoming a major tool for zergs / groups. Core ele got an soso update its not much but it helps having a shield trigger at 50% hp and be on a 60 sec cd vs its 25% hp trigger 75 sec cd. (glass core ele are a bit harder to kill)

Is there a way to turn off the War-score-floaters? I think it is a nice feature but some just do not want to have extra stuff on the screen – so it should stay only an option
