Guild Wars 2

Hello all,

I was an early player of GW2 but left the game after 4 months. I returned 10 months later and was pleasantly surprised by the way ANet addressed many of the issues that made me leave the game earlier (WvW mechanics, drops and rewards, living world events, better TP offers, guesting to other servers, etc).

Presently I think that WvW server population unbalance is the only game break issue. After the current WvW season many players will transfer to more populated servers because right now it is just pure zerg massacre of the low populated servers. The already low populated servers will lose a lot of players and will become ghost servers leading to server merging.

The focus of WvW should change from server vs server to grouped servers vs grouped servers with similar total population. Guild achievements during WvW should receive more rewards to emphasize the Guild Wars character of the game and individual achievements should also be better.

What I propose is:

1. Create a dedicated WvW server based on a regular server design (with all the 27 maps plus dungeons) with the current overflow system;

2. Add to the regular server design all the existing WvW buildings and objectives adapted to the geography of each individual map (dungeons included but adapted to the exiguous space of the dungeons);

3. Use the 6 major cities to create something like 6 Super Stone Mists castles;

4. Keep the existing 4 WvW maps plus the new one Edge of the Mists;

5. Every week, create a new match up of servers mixing the strongest with the weakest in 3 opposing sides with very similar overall population. 24 NA servers = 3 teams of 8, 27 EU servers = 3 teams of 9;

6. Create rewards for guild influence in the outcome of the wars considering number and importance of objectives held and time they held them, number of enemies killed, etc;

7. Improve the current individual rewards in accordance with the impact of the individual in the war outcome;

8. Guild players will receive guild and individual rewards, solo players will receive just individual rewards;

9. Change the Leaderboards from World vs World to Guild vs Guild according to the guilds achievements during war;

10. Create a Leaderboard for individual achievements during WvW.

These are my 2 cents.

All feedback welcome.

Best regards,

Im just tired of the ill begotten bad matchups having to fight just to get out of our spawn of any map because they have so many people to have 10 people per tower/keep and everywhere else and you so much as breath on a tower get beat down by 60+ bored people because they own the whole map and have nothing better to do (as I myself have done when we are winning that much) so I never fault the winning server they have to have something to do but face it even some servers that beatten us that badly have felt pity leave stuff un upgraded basically let us take stuff..even that what kidna fight is that seriously a net..fix this unbalanced nightmare. When wvw is balanced it is awesome you can only really win so much and loose so much and I guess Seigerazier is the solution to unbalanced matches to fix them when you go to use him and walk out into 50 + people to kill him and everyone. But yes if redoing the whole mechanic of wvw needs to be done Gold or the upper T1 or so leaves have even coverage the lower bronze and near tier T8 have spotty coverage make different version’s of wvw for the upper and lower tires if need be. Im just tired of standing in the spawn area were a sea of red is flowing in front of it with the only hope one of them will get to close to the legendary and get sniped down. Im shure alot of players have felt my pain on different servers. I don’t mind loosing but at this level it beeing denied access to wvw witch is a broken game mechanic I paid my money for gw’s 2 and this needs to be fixed. But at times when it’s that bad in wvw I find myself thinking I wish I can turn on pvp in Lion’s arch and have all the server wvw population attack everyone till they get into wvw..yes..it’s that bad…you really should not be allowed to lose everything in wvw at least be allowed to keep 1 building. Be it a Super buff like 95% deduction from all damage in and around that last building or ect give the player that owns at that point the whole map a impenetrable fortrss to attack and the underdog team something to do. I would find it fun to tank about 10 people just because they wana be well not jerks as the before mentioned if they have nothing else to do but if they wana take your last building make them fight for it. and while there fighting for it and wasting resources the other server has a chance to take there stuff. Yes Long Post I know but it’s that big of a issue I have posted on this before and shall continue to do so
