Guild Wars 2

is the game balacend?

Well I’m not sure if it’s balacend, but I do think it’s balanced

WvW never meant to be balanced, from inception, never meant to be that way. It’s just a shell for players to go muck around in and have fun.

Balanced in what way? Maps? Servers? Classes?

Classes are hardly balanced with about 1/3 sitting at the top of the meta (from a pvp perspective) and the bottom 3rd are so laughably weak compared to the others you never see them around.

Servers are not balanced. I’m just glad we have FINALLY rotated to a new set. Whenever we sit with the same servers for more than a month I remember when they locked the servers “indefinitely” and that was a horrible time for the WvW community. My home server was the lowest ranked server for WvW at the time (Anvil Rock) and we were paired with Ebay and Borlis. Players and guilds are always moving.

And maps? Don’t even joke. People don’t like Desert because (to me) it’s so twisty and there are so many paths you can get lost and it takes a long time to “respond” to a location in distress. Alpine is laughably easy to karma train. It’s harder to defend well without doing a “turtle” defense and it’s extremely easy to get from point A to point B quickly. Since Simultaneous maps looks like it’s going to win, I would strongly suggest Anet revamp the Alpine map to better compete with the Desert map or servers with that map will get rolled.

Aside from populations, what exactly is not balanced? They’re working on the populations but the variable of users wanting to switch servers to play with friends elsewhere, players returning to game and players leaving the game really messes up their ability to get any kind of good balance going. Then when they mark servers as full, people complain… The users are causing inbalance, not ANet.

Never was intended to be. So I guess working as intended ?

Not sure what the point of that poll would be, I’m sure it’ll get over 90% saying yes it’s not balanced…. Then what?
Not balanced in what way? classes? maps? populations? coverage? how about all of the above?
