Guild Wars 2

i don’t feel it, i feel like any other wvw day.

I feel it. We’re playing hard, running overtime, hawking PPT and having good fights. I’m loving it so far personally, anyway. =)

I second this!

It hasn’t really given everyone a reason to make an effort for the duration of the week, no. There are fair queues during prime time, but otherwise I don’t see more activity than usual off-peak depending on who is commanding.

Compared to the last two Seasons, there’s a big difference.

I feel it yes and the match up is glorious, can’t tell who will win and that’s priceless

Pretty much every league has already been decided and the server that will win are the only ones “feeling it” at this point. I’m not seeing anywhere near the amount of dedication and overtime as I saw in Season 1 or 2.

My server is currently almost 200k points behind the first place server in our matchup, yeah… I feel something alright.

I hate tournaments :<
They makes WWW totally unplayable due to server overload.
Not funny to just spam 11111 with 1 second delay, because everything else doesn t work.

Not really, just feels like regular weeks of WvW. Nowhere near how it was during Season 1.

Doing the same thing I’ve been doing for 2 years and nothing much has changed, it is getting a little old now, it needs something to spice it up again, say a new BL map maybe :P

Not really, WvW is just as dead for us as it was during off-season. Boring.

my server is currently 200 points behind the first (not 2k or 20k, i mean 200), a server that many considered to be much too big for us to fight. it’s one of the most interesting weeks i had in wvw.

i meant compared to last 2 tournaments.

Of course I don’t feel it, I’m in NA T2 which is a giant mess.

It’s pretty awful, wvw is dead this week. Never thought I’d see a waypointed SM in t1 na.

Yes, despite the achievements. Closest matchup ive seen in a while (GOM vs SOR vs DH)

Yeah, other than Friday and Saturday it’s been the same as the last 12 weeks.

Are you feeling it now?

No I’m not feeling it.
Nothing special about the tournament except that people are playing a lot more at night…

Yes, I’m feeling it… FC suddenly became such a bunch of tryhards…

I second that, but my server is only 180k behind…

I feel worried that seasons are reducing the WvW playerbase week by week by week.

At this rate by season 6 there won’t be anyone to play it!

boring… some servers run away when numbers on the field are similiar, but i guess this one of the game problems, everyone is an excellent player capping empty BL also.

GG.

Ppl are pushing ppt on many wvw fights i think it will become more intentness after the first week is over when ppl see the real different in rewards 100 vs 200 vs 300.

First few days felt like season 1 and parts of season 2. Then we decided to play normally the rest of the week. We put in long hours vs TC, but it was fun and worth it whether we came out in front of them or not. Quite frankly ANET can hold all the seasons they want to now for all I care. 90% of the game, wvwers included will just keep playing like normal.

All that is left playing are zerg guilds that dont really have good fights. They might say they do but they’re full of one push hero’s who release and run back in time to keep the fight going and going.

Break up those 500+ member guilds and build smaller ones. #badcommunity

<——-these are good fights what i seen this week does not even come close.

Just another week in WvW. There is literally nothing that sets this week, next week, or the two weeks following that apart from the weeks preceding or following it

Disagree.

Lets be real, week one of S3 was not like any other week for BG. They had something to prove to themselves and everyone else.

and nobody cared cuz the thing they were trying to prove is directly counter to the message sent to them during season 1 \o/

That you have more numbers and better coverage?
Everyone knows that, that’s why they mock you.

I feel the annoyance at Anet everytime I log in to see unbalanced matches in a competitive mode with rewards given out to the server with the most people.

This.

Imbalanced servers has always been the single biggest issue with WvW, but this tournament shows that it has reached an epic level.

It’s time for Anet to take drastic steps to improve the WvW experience for ALL servers, regardless of population levels.

Some ideas (none perfect):

- combine servers based on populations for wvw tournaments (eg, matchup would be BG/Eradon Terrace vs Jade Quarry/Ferg Crossing vs Tarnished Coast/Anvil Rock)

- giving lower populated servers a significant advantage of some kind.

- making the matches much shorter (going back to 24 hour or 3 day matches instead of one week) so that miserable match experiences dont last as long.

In the meantime, they need to start giving us PVE updates faster again – no one wants to WvW on servers where the experience is so miserable due to population imbalances (and without pve updates, we have little to do in game).

I hope they will add something play more win more mechanism. Repeatable achis whats give you tickets. Othervise i like this short tournament and weekly rewards

The one thing that I liked about the tournaments (especially season 1) was there were queues for the majority of the week. At the very least there were always commanders. Always action going on.

Now, on T1, I see outnumbered on half the maps before the weekend is even over. It feels like a normal WvW week.

Well the format of this tournament is far better than the previous, but the population disparity that is the nature of WvW still prevents the leagues from being truly competitive.
