Guild Wars 2

So, as you all know they’ve taken the Orbs of Power out of WvW. Which is fine because it did give the stronger server even more of an advantage that they didn’t need. Well now there is a new problem in doing that. From what i know when a server match-up is about to begin; Green becomes the best server, Blue is the second best, and Red is the third best. There is a huge problem with this. Green side has the best and easiest offense AND defense of its border in EB. The keep can easily treb all of its closest towers easily and retake them/ defend them. Now on the other hand, red side in EB virtually has no ways of “Treb defending” its surrounding towers. Everything on the red side is spread very far out which is ridiculous to try to defend with siege and very very open for easy attack. Now that we don’t have orbs of power to boost our take-overs during another servers weak, down-time. Or even plan an attack to take the orbs and overpower a green team zerg. There is just no way to make a come-back on red side if you do not have 24/7 coverage on your server. Even then i believe red side is still at a disadvantage due to the fact that you would have to have men at every tower to defend it. While on green side you just need 5 men on trebs from the keep to defend everything. This is the new unbalance of power. I believe the better server needs to be red and prove itself better. And the worse one needs to be green. Since orbs of power no longer exist to change the tide of battle.

You’re mistaken at least in Tier 1. SBI is green and is not the best server then again it was also a very weak presenced weekend. That isn’t a word I know but I made it a word.

As far as I know, red keep can treb anz and veloka; veloka can treb ogrewatch. So what u talking about is not in the case. all you need to do is learn where to put those trebs.

each side has advantages and disadvantages.

SBI managed to hold their territory overall for most of the weekend, all while not even participating in EB fighting. I think they are afraid of SoS

SBI has not held on for the majority of the weekend. We were pushed out of the map. Monday and Sunday we’ve done well and clung to what we owned but before that we’ve had a weak presence. We were pushed out of a map (don’t remember the name) until WM took over C Rex reclaimed. In EB we were pushed to base until we reclaimed our map. AP and QL as far as EB is concerned is where our fight is at.

Green is the top rank in the match.
Blue middle, Red lowest rank in the match.

For EB, green has the best defensive, red has more offensive, and blue has a mix.(In my opinion)

As for borderlands, it’s the same map each one.

Overlook is the only keep in EB that can reach the castle giving red the biggest advantage

Nah. Lowland could be easily contested although it’s close to stonemist. It holds offensive position but easily being contested means it’s not so defensive compared to the other two. Overlook and Valley can be a threat to stonemist by setting trebs in the tricky, right place, and hard to be contested. Although lowlands has the shortest linear distance to stonemist, there is no safe place to put down trebs that threat the castle. What I am saying is those position is a balance to the server ranking, only if you know where your advantage/disadvantage is.
