I haven’t been playing gw2 very long but WvW is where I spend all my time so it’s a shame that the Outnumbered problem doesn’t get some attention. I left swtor because they nerfed the game and took away the pvp servers so I was really happy when I started playing this game. You guys have raised some valid concerns but I still think some Outnumbered buffs could help even if it is applying the very smallest advantage if not for the sake of moral and people not abandoning the server in the least. From all the posts I’ve read people have developed a loyalty to their guild, tags and friends so they would prefer to stay on. I was just trying to think of a solution that would help the problem. I can’t tell you how many times there are only like 6 of us on the ebg map and we are standing at SOS wp with no keep or towers and just waiting for the zergs to go elsewhere so we can take our keep back. Pretty sad…even the tags leave. And I hear people saying I’m out of here because this sucks!
You said “steamroll a map”? …that is EXACTLY what is happening to the outnumbered server that I am on. Having a stat privilege would help kinda like a bolstering. As for roamers and such, SORRY! If we are outnumbered a little bolster stat privilege would be nice because we are getting STEAMROLLED over and over and over again. I see your point with one-on-one encounters but really this benefit would level the playing ground by taking out those roamers and scouts.
As far as seige, I would love to see a 2 hour timer instead of one. Its frustrating especially on low population times when you are running the map to protect your stuff and by the time you get back…Poof…all seige is gone. I have spent loads on seige and again, without seige our outnumbered guild is DOOMED!
Nice post. Thank you.
I recently voted on the opinion poll for the Repair Hammer which I think is a great addition to WvW but there are other problems in WvW that I think need to be addressed. One of these is the Outnumbered problem which I experience often in WvW. During the daytime hours almost on a daily basis our server has low population and we get slaughtered. Many players have voiced an opinion about leaving the server as a result. My suggestion is why don’t we get some kind of buffs to increase our survivability and damage output during these times which could be scaled by population on other servers. I really don’t think the current Outnumbered +50% Magic Find, +20% World Experience, + 25% World Experience and Take No Armor Damage suffices. This is growing negative sentiment about this problem by what I am hearing. I love WvW and I hope the developers can work on this problem.
Also, instead of a Repair Hammer added to WvW, how about an opinion poll on increased timers on seige. Albeit the majority would vote for increased timer over a repair hammer.
