Guild Wars 2

The 2 Week WvW transfer penalty should be displayed in game maybe a little better cause its frustrating and ridiculous when u spend money and farm ur kitten off to work up the money, to have to sit out 2 weeks personally as a player its ridiculous and needs to be removed I know its season and all but ur restricting people who are avid wvw players for trying to play and help their world out ive paid money for this game and would like to play it and not wait 2 matchups plz and ty !

how do u know im not going back to home server?

This has been beaten to death. It was in an article AND when you go to transfer, it asks if you are sure that you want to and explains the penalty. You literally have to click the button to say “Yes, I know the penalty.” How much more clear can it be?

Don’t forget the news page that you have to bypass to play the game.

If that’s really the case, then you should have transferred to your ‘home server’ before the season started.

And, as others have pointed out, the penalty for transfer during the season is very well documented.

Ahem, there’s a warning in game that shows up before you transfer.

Mark Katzbach.9084:

Are you sure you want to transfer to <world>?
If yes, you’ll be logged out of your account, which may be inaccessible for a short period of time while the transaction completes. In addition, you cannot make another transfer for 7 days. Your WvW accessibility will be restricted to Edge of the Mists for the duration of the current match and until the end of your world’s next match.

Moral of the story – Pay attention to what you’re doing. Don’t spam click on buttons without reading the warnings that present themselves. If you were rushing, then it’s all on you.

Guild Wars 2>News>Get Ready for WvW Spring Tournament 2014
by Devon Carver on March 7, 2014
https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/get-ready-for-wvw-spring-tournament-2014/

This retread thread does not introduce anything new or advance the discussion.

Well, here’s my 2c on it.
I moved from NA to EU. I transferred with plenty of time to participate in the spring tournament, but tournament or not, I just like to play and have fun, I’m pretty casual. I was aware that I would have to wait until the Friday after transferring, but now I have to wait two weeks, not one.

There’s no competition between NA and EU so I shouldn’t be prevented from playing WvW as I’m not betraying anyone. Even if I had transferred from EU to EU server it shouldn’t matter so long as I didn’t transfer to a rival server.

I was looking forward to enjoying my new home and making new friends. My server has a tiny WvW population. I chose a place where my efforts would help make a difference, and where I could be proud to help the server be successful, instead of being just another henchman. But now I can’t help them at all.

But anyway, this 2 week ban only makes it easier for high WvW population servers to win.
Even if newcomers can’t join, they have plenty of players and queues anyway. Meanwhile, smaller servers could use all the help they could get, but the newcomers can’t join in and help.

Atleast remove the restriction for low wvw population servers? Pretty please? It would help balance things out a bit.

Why are we all complaining? The Devs of WvW made it clear of the penalty of transferring midseason and you took the penalty. You choose to desert your current server to bandwagon off of another (EU or NA)! It’s the fault of the player for not scouting out the servers prior to the start of season and for deserting your server!!! So please close this thread as it has been addressed enough times.

Thanks everyone for ur inputs etc. but im js fact of the matter is I wanna play I like playing and I spend money to play. idk why most of u are getting heated im rejoining my old fielding guild to help them up a bit nothing big JUST WANNA PLAY like the rest of you!

^^^ THAT is a sincere sounding post. I honestly believe you.

I would be ALL FOR allowing people to bypass the penalty for say 2800 gems. To me anyone willing to do that honestly shows their dedication to the game/server that they’d throw 35$ to play it. Plus that would make it fair for the people like Warhawk.

I don’t people are saying that you shouldn’t be allowed to play but there are 2 issues here:

1. Anet has informed us of the penalty well in advance

2. There was a problem with people server hoping, especially during the previous season. Half of the systems they put in place this season are a result of unrestricted server hoping from last season: free transfers, lockouts, you end of season reward not being locked to the server you were on at the beginning of the season, etc.

You know unrestrictive transfers were becoming a huge issue when Anet was willing to forgo gem money to put a system in place that adds a penalty to transferring.

Its bullkitten that you cant play wvw when you transfer. I cant even enjoy the game because im ALWAYS outnumbered. When i change server i can at least have some fun, but they take that away to now ? I dont give a kitten about the rewards, just take them, even keep your stupid WXP when i tansfer, i just want to have fun. People always talking about server pride. Well what the hell happended to gaming pride???? If your always outnumbered the game sucks, and you wanna switch worlds. Its that simple. All people complaining about pride, would do the same thing if it happened to them. LET ME PLAY THE GAME I PAID FOR !

Well it sounds like you just want to fight people. You realize that you’re not locked out of sPVP and EOTM right? Otherwise the borderland lockouts are justified for reasons already explained.

this has been answered before.

ANET, close pls.

Respectfully, Warhawk. You earned sympathy from a community that is generally unforgiving on this topic.

Don’t really think the underlying issue is not that anet wants to keep people from playing, but more of system that prevents pay to win. They also don’t have you locked into the server that you started the season with. The punishment is meant as a means to discourage people from jumping to servers who are already winning just for the season rewards.

The problem with that, is that you still get credit for contribution in WvW in EoTM, and that will allow anyone to transfer in the last 3 or 4 weeks and be able ton contribute enough to the new server in order to get credit for being on that server and get the rewards.

The concept of punishing is good, it helps communities stay together during the season. The implementation is a bit flawed. I do wonder how many communities will be fractured once the season is over.
