Guild Wars 2

I can’t say with any certainty as I cannot officially see numbers on who’s in WvW. But it really seems there are many cases, where one server is vastly out numbered. I’m speaking in reference to Henge of Deravi. I play on Jade Quarry, and we do pretty well, but somehow whenever we go up against HoD, there always seems to be a numbers issue. As they seem to have mass numbers attacking several important area’s and there’s simply no way to defend, or even go on the assault for almost anything. We try, but somehow, we’re ALWAYS out numbered. Luckily defending it’s not always about numbers. But there have been many cases where we’ll get a large organized group together and assault a keep or tower, and a huge amount come to the defense, while people in chat are still saying they have mass attacks going on elsewhere. There’s just nothing we can do to keep up.

If I’m wrong than man, it’s ridiculous how that server somehow pulls together that amount of organization at all times.

Oh, and I’d also like to mention, whenever we DO have the lead, and there’s a client update and we all have to reboot. Somehow JQ always has trouble getting back, and this has happened at least 3 times now, when we finally do get back in HoD has EVERYTHING. Before we even get back in. Just seems awfully coincidental that it always seems to works in their favor.

hmmm would it help if we get some transparency on the numbers?

like say show actual numbers of players,
for each home world server,
updated live,
say every minute:
- currently participating in WvW
- currently in queue trying to get into WvW

for example:

Henge of Deravi
500 connected
1000 queued

Jade Quarry
500 connected
2000 queued

Sea of Sorrows
500 connected
3000 queued

would that help? O_O

I’d love to see them adress the problems on the spanish servers right now. Since they didn’t make any spanish-speaking NA servers, the Brazilians and other spanish-speaking South-Americans are currently playing on Spanish EU servers, which means that they are heavily populated at all times during the day. Myself coming from Seafarer’s rest which seems to be pretty much only europeans, we have no way of competing with them in wvw. Even though we beat them back easily during the daytime and prime time, at night they just zerg us down and we lose everything again.

This isn’t as much a bug as it is just bad planning by ArenaNet though in my opinion. But when servers can stay this heavily populated at all times during the day, obviously they will have a major advantage against other servers in wvw.

It would help a player identify if we’re outnumbered or not. But doesn’t really help the problem. I’m sitting in 2 hour queues only to find we’re outnumbered. I shouldn’t be waiting that long with those queues if we’re outnumbered. I’ve heard there’s potentially a way to exploit it and get more people in. But I honestly don’t want to accuse people of such things. Plus I’m really not sure I buy that story. Especially with the karma item exploit and how they punished those people, I can’t imagine people being that daring now to test their fate.

If everyone is queuing in every server, it means that every server pop is maxed out already no? Try and see if there are any afk-ers in your server(people that runs towards a wall in your home base.) That or maybe they are just really that good and organized?

Henge of Deravi just seems to always have way more people than the other two servers. I would love to see a live numbers count.

I’d like the numbers Count as in some instances I scratch my head and think that 70% of my server is AFK under a rock
