With the current announcement of pvp seasons it got me thinking why don’t we have wvw seasons. It could go like this, in a season all servers would play each other one or more times after which there would be playoffs. The winning server moves on and the losing servers play each other, at the end of the season the winning server wins some sort of prize.
I know what about balance? at first there will be some blowouts yes but here’s where we make another change. Since coverage is what wins matchups we introduce Points per kill (PPK), killing players would count as 2 points where as Points per tick (PPT) would be worth 1/4 of a player kill.
Why? you ask, because as a player on NA servers I noticed the majority of the players base is NA prime this is where the most PVP happens. I have multiple accounts in different tiers, from tier 1 to tier 7 and I can tell you there are fights to be had during NA Prime time in all those tiers. The biggest diffence in tiers is off hour population and thats why PPT would be worth way less. There are multiple servers that get major points by PvD in off hours and that makes for really imbalance play so why would PvDing whole BL’s be worth so much points?
I think with the population changes/lockouts people will start moving to open servers to play with their friends and this system of seasons and point calculation would encourage those movements, over time creating balance point wise and creating a worth to WvW even if its just bragging rights
Your thoughts and concerns?
