Guild Wars 2

I was just wondered if anet counts people who only go into wvw for 5-10 minutes for their dailies toward the population and the EOTM only players toward it too.

Because Anet marked TC as Full and when I faced them they don’t have as many as BG or Mag so I was wondering how they are full.

Bg and Mag have big blobs and TC doesn’t even pop orange swords when I’ve been facing them. Like Mag, Bg, and Jq have blobs galore but TC for sure has less people playing and they got thrown into T1 when they were barely able to keep up in T2.

I think something is wrong in how they are estimating a population or the activity.

Tc for sure doesn’t have as many as BG, Mag, or JQ. Keeping them full will kill them. I’m on FA and this is just a 3rd party observation.

Maybe they can do that thing https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Pop-Balance-Contribution-Rating-System/first#post6500390

I wonder how much of TC’s wvw activity is people logging in to do node runs/dailies, even this week in a blowout match when I roam on TCBL I run into quite a few PVE players trying to do their stuff and promptly log out when they see me or die in 1 combo, makes me think that TC’s PVE/casual player base is artificially inflating the population count.

We already had a discussion about it this week…

But yes if the activity tracker is as low as 5mins for the day, then it needs to be changed.

Eotm isn’t counted, but the problem there is those players that go to eotm are still on the server for the next week, so the system can’t just instantly open up for a server because they all decide to spend a week in eotm or take it off entirely. It needs a period of time to do comparisons to set the activity.

I think TC will probably open in the next few days as the system compares their activity the last few weeks.

Its ok, you guys stick to most populated server at all times to beat on best of all times server, so you are winning, despite not been officially paired

While things like gathering nodes, building siege, or repairing, taking sentries / camps do count towards the total activity meter, I’m sure they are miniscule when compared to the total.

1 group of 10-20 WVW players in 1 hour will most likely surpass the entire point contribution of the above simply because they get so much more done, maybe take or defend a tower or 2, get some kills etc. and thats on top of what I pointed out above which will jsut happen naturally.

On the side note, WVW in NA seems to be in a peculiar position right now as realistically speaking for all practical purposes there are only 2 T1 servers. So whichever ones of rest of us ends up being that 3rd up there, its going to suck for us no matter what. Its a guaranteed loss, guaranteed demoralization, guaranteed WVW losing even more players.

Only way to fix this is unfortunately some sort of forced de-stacking, which will of course never happen for wide plethora of reasons listed elsewhere. But it would be really really nice, I feel like tiers 2 and 3 are at least roughly somewhat balanced. T4 is still too low especially on off-hours (coverage gaps) and the 2 T1 servers are just way too high and off the scale of the rest of the game.

I doubt it updates its measurements of population very often, because this would lead to other problems.
