Guild Wars 2

players get an option to invite other players to form a team of 20 on the party panel – when the team hits 20 – the the team is replaced by a commander icon on the person that started it

this will help low population servers form zergs when commanders aren’t on.

Uh why? This just lends credence to the belief that the people who zerg are mindless and incapable of doing anything but follow a blue dorito around the map.

the problems with zergs is when they go above a certain threshold that lags the game, and overwhelms smaller servers that can’t field those number. zergs are a staple to wvw – and especially fun in face offs. The real problem is when its 5 to 1 ratios.

it’s like anything else, keep it balanced and it’s good – 100 man zergs are not good for anyone because of lag and because not all servers can pull in those numbers. And yes, a 100 man zerg vs a 40 man zerg is mindless – so i’m not retracting that.

swimming is fun, drowning is not.

That’s exactly what they are.

If the opposition brings a zerg, your side has to bring one too.
