Guild Wars 2

ArenaNet please.. seriously please limit the number of players per borderland/eternal battlefield….

Its ridiculous when the opposing server is able to rally up to more then 4 times our numbers.. its not even fair and sieges dont even last that long..
This is getting ridiculously boring as bandwagon servers will remain winning while others are just left to rot..

PS. The outmanned buff did not even appear despite those numbers they have. FIX kthx..QQQQQQ

Assuming you mean imposing a dynamic population cap based on the lowest activity among the 3 servers..

-during periods where one server doesn’t happen to have anyone on a map, no one else can play?

-imagine an EB scenario where 2 servers have 50 ppl each ready to play, but the third only has 5. Do you limit the first servers to 5-10 players each, shoving 80+ players into hour long queues and leaving the map practically barren?

lol i would rather set the limit to a max of 50 if theres really 1 server with 5 players..
at least its wayyyyyy better then 1 out of the 3 server being able to play at all.
right now its 1 server owning every single map while we are defending, and the other 3rd server literally gave up.

Why not Rally your server to the need?

Why should the rest of us suffer because your server can’t field a number of your choosing?

I would like to see higher number limits with better optimization.

Imagine if they dropped the cap to match your servers WvW population. 4 times as many players than that of your server abandon the game because they get completely sick of having to wait for hours in queue.

Didn’t think this one through did you?

thats why its just a feedback, im not the one designing the game. Its up to Anet to decide in the end.
And from your point, it seems to be alright for that 80men to enjoy a barren map then 50 men per server have fun huh.

That’s not the issue. I haven’t always been on JQ, and even being on JQ, I run with Outmanned buff a lot.

Find a way to get your server/guild to rally to a call for wvw. Limiting others because of your situation isn’t really fair now is it?

well if they dont do something, the situation will never change. Its like someone posted in another topic, lower tier server players only have 2 choices, to quit or to move up, which probably t1,2 servers and that will only cause more bandwagoning.

And trust me, my guild had already rallied and tried our very best, but a 30men vs a 60men zerg which is capable of calling another 30men into the map, seriously?
How on earth are we suppose to play when we are just being steamrolled even at a choke point.

I have the opposite problem right now there is so many of us i cannot join any borderlands!!

Thats a sign that your server has waayyyyy more players. mine is only full on reset days trust me, and im able to get in after a 15mins queue at most.

Supposedly it would work itself over time, at least that was what Anet hoped. The top 3-6 servers would get tired of waiting an hour+ to play, and would go down to a lower tier server where their contribution would mean something.

Some guilds tried that, got steamrolled because of being completely outmanned just about everywhere, and went back to the high pop servers. They complained THEY were the only thing keeping server X competitive, etc etc.

A dynamic queue would cause people to spread out though, because instead of a 1+ hour wait, it might be a 3-4 hour wait. If people really want to play, they will spread out over the other servers. Sure its tough love, but it would work.

Also the lag wouldn’t be that terrible with a lower population cap.
Make the fights more about skill and strategy instead of just numbers.

Why should the majority suffer because a few servers are fortunate enough to be stacked?

I would like to see skilled play in WvW with victories based around it, not by how many WvW players you have stacked in a few servers.

Well.. this is just stupid.. Just because their server has way more player, they started trolling. They even created a guild with a similar tag as the one im in and target whoever is in it.. Just wow, grats on living up to your name as bandwagons TC.

I’m in a mid-tier server.
We don’t have any problems at all.

Who’d a thought it?

You do know if the PvE players are brought to WvW all this population problem will stop? I don’t blame those PvE for staying there since they can farm 50g/hour with Living Gold event. So yeah, you know my point.

This isnt even about the pve players. In fact our server was fine till the recent pve farming events, but we still had the numbers to hold ourselves in wvw. But everytime we get match against TC, its just a factor of losing in numbers and people give up whenever we are match against them.

If you are Always outmanned and you guys are with like 25-30 guys from 1 guild and the enemie server got 60 guys online.
You can wipe them! if you are not doing that you are doing it all wrong then you need to learn more about WvW.
You need to learn about combo fields, using the right builds, staying tight on eachother and using some tactics.
Then your chances of wiping bigger groups then yourself is much higher.
Just go and check some videos on youtube from good guilds like [RG] red guard (disbanded by the way i think) or [HB] Herfolge boldklub (blackgate guild) or [TW] Tempest wolves (sanctum of rall) some examples of guild who can do that.
Ps. don’t know if i writed the guild names correct, so sorry for that.
Or the guild where i am in [SLAY] The Soul Slayers! Its a quite new guild but we are working and training at this moment to achieve those things. (by the way no videos yet on youtube i think).
And we are in the [EU] Underworld server, we ar ranked 17 in EU so.
And we are facing to some higher ranked servers this week Abaddon’s mouth and Miller’s Sound with big blobs on the maps like 70+(full map zerg) and we are managing to wipe them a couple of times, not Always.

Good luck to you and have fun if you are wiping bigger groups then yourself, lots of loot bags

Do you even bothered reading the pages earlier, its about how they manage to bring in another 30men zerg from other bls, sure we can beat them 30 to 60 in a choke and we had done that tons of times. But not if they are able to just call for an entire zerg as reinforcement. Its just.. plain ridiculous and unfair.
