Guild Wars 2

Ok so after reading the forums and talking with some people its seems some players are having trouble getting into wvw and that sucks for them becuase wvw is so much fun atm. I know that some of the people complaining recently transferred over to a stacked server and now they are suffering with very long queue times. What did you guys expect? honestly I am no sympathy for anyone the recently transferred over to a bandwagon/stacked server a lot of you are probably suffering long queues and you deserve it.

At the same time what about those people who have been a loyal player on there server for a long period? Is it fair that those players have to now put up with queues and miss out on wvw because of others? I think players who have called a server there home for longer should be prioritize b4 recently xfered players. It doesn’t matter if they are a hardcore wvwer or not, a player that has been on the server longer should be put first in the wvw queue.

You know as players we to an extent are responsible for the wvw imbalance between servers. We have the power to affect things but it really doesn’t help when players decide to jump ship just because things get a bit hard or a big challenge lies ahead. I know leagues was a big factor that caused many Guilds and players to recently change server which has had a negative impact on many wvw communities. Though my initial impression of leagues are they are a success, well atlest in my match up. Everywhere you go and there are great fights.

My idea to prioritize loyal players in queues is more about being fair than punishing those who transfer to stacked/heavily populated wvw servers (though it might be an incentive to stop people from constantly transferring).
What does everyone else think?

I totally agree!! I was saying it on my server tonight, that I’d take a loyal pver over a fly by night guild in wvw any day! besides, our pver’s are totally decked out in legendaries and ascended gear – that alone is a huuge advantage aside from server loyalty.

ikr although I dont know about a pvEr with a legendary having much of an advantage over a wvw player in full exotics.

This will never pass as server transfers cost gems which are potentially bought with real money. They will rather promote transfers imo

transfer player give Anet money. What loyal player give?

@vince – a zerg of 20 in ascended gear ( which legendaries share same higher attributes ) does make a difference. 1 item isn’t much, but – 2 ascended earrings, 2 rings, an amulet and a weapon on 20-30 people in a zerg is a lot. especially when they teamwork to take out 1 target at a time. Doors melt without rams.

Coming up against a pve zerg with pve stats and pve builds begets me a whole lot of bags.

Its the dawn of the rally bots.

it could be interesting, but as op mentioned, it would be nice if this was tied to server loyalty somehow. Serious, loyal people should be compensated for all the changes we’ve endured since beta.

Vertical progression excludes new players from the game. This does the same thing. Both are bad ideas.

20 in Exotic gear would do the same think,if all use right build and target as a team…

lets say for arguments sake ….that a player in full ascended gear – has maybe 2 less shots to take out a target than one in exotics – @ 20 people – that’s 40 less shots. 40 shots can take out an extra 5 people faster.

Ie – Guardians and Warriors in heavy armor – most often get away with murder because they take high damage and run away fast – that extra power will stop them from getting away.

I’m glad players on the stacked servers are suffering TBH, not many queues here on dragonbrand, having lots of fun, not sure why people think theres anything special about ‘winning’ in this league, i’m so glad all the pve players are pouring in to have fun killing too, hope they see it as a better place to reward chase so I have more people to fight.

Should have xferred away from the bandwagon servers a week ago if you wanted to play with your guild or play all the time, can still xfer… it’s really not even alot of gold compared to everything else in the game. Blows my mind that some entire guilds would have xferred to any of the known bandwagon servers, what were you thinking? Was this not all very obvious to any active WvW guild.

Oh yeah and loyalty, the WvW servers have been shifting constantly since game start and hopefully they don’t shift as much anymore or the weak just get stronger, noone really worked hard to get anywhere, it’s been about xfers and coverage, every server has lots of people who worked hard and watched their servers kind of fall apart due to the xfer frenzy, should have just packed up and left bandwagon servers seeing this coming.
