Just curious why is this allowed ?
The problem is long term vs short term balance.
Long term DB wouldn’t do as good as they are now without their IoJ linking.
Short term DB is killing it because they have strong guilds (like ND) sitting on IoJ so they can play on T1.
Long term DB being open is good for T1 balance (because they’ll lose strong SEA IoJ guilds on the next relink).
Short term it is bad because IoJ remains linked.
Unless you increase the speed at which you adjust server linking matchups then you can’t do much about this. You don’t want to block people transferring to a weak server just because they’re in a winning match up.
Do you choose long or short term?
80% ND are on DB
Why ruin balance just to satisfy people who bandwagon to ET in the first place ? just so they can have access to BG again and destroy tier 1 again . Seems like BG people would rather win by 100k each week again then have close exciting match ups .
At least lift them for a week before or after a new linking to let people move around as they want, so servers don’t need to have blackout weeks to open up..
Proof Blackgate manipulates their full server status … They hibernate and then ANET opens them up and guilds and fairweathers move to Blackgate and then Blackgate comes out of hibernation once they get the guilds they want and we once again have a lopsided match up . Anet please keep Blackgate locked forever unless people from Blackgate actually transfer to other servers/tiers for balance .
Suddently with the latest patch i noticed my pvp league badge was gone inside WvW maps ! same with the other players ! although i understand the reason behind this decision i must say it is completely unfair !
I have put many hours in pvp this season just to have my badge next to my name ! needless to say i have my pvp leggendary backpiece since season 2, so thats the only and the single reason i participated on ranked pvp this season ! i do not play pve much. put wvw is where i spend most of my time after i obtained my leggy badge !
Please bring back pvp badges in WvW or at least make a option for players to be visible inside WvW maps or this is the last season i even bother to play ranked pvp.
I beleive many other players feel the same as me and that change may only do damage in ranked participation and its going to die really fast when everybody get their pvp backpiece !
Do you see us WvW players asking Anet if we can flaunt our WvW rank in PvP ?
Easy fix – Lock all servers linked with tier 1 and tier 2 at next world linking for 4 weeks and then increase transfer cost . Just my two cents .
Chris and I just made several informative posts about World Linking on Reddit. I’m reposting them here.
On Population Caps
Some information behind the current server population cap behavior:
Many may already know this bit, but for anyone else who doesn’t: world population is determined by activity level in WvW (Edge of the Mists and Obsidian Sanctum don’t count). If World A has many-times the number of players on it as World B, but World A does’t play WvW at all and World B plays tons of WvW, A will have the lowest population, and B will have a very high one.
This is the main problem since day 1 . Servers can manipulate their full server status by avoiding WvW for a few weeks so they can recruit more guilds and when they do recruit the server comes out to play again which creates a bigger lopsided score .
Full servers should only change to high status if people transfer off .
Hi number 6 doesn’t seem to work in WvW and it only removes a condition from me and not my allies . Also radius is not the problem since I’m using Resounding Timbre trait and applying regeneration and swiftness on allies is no issue .
(6): Shouts remove a condition from each affected ally.
Next world linking should look like this going by rankings /populations
1-no linking
2-24
3-23
4-22
5-21
6-20
7-19
8-18
9-17
10-16
11-15
12-13-14
And increase transfer prices for the 23rd and 24th rank server .
Just like to think what every thinks about this topic now that HoT has been out for a few months now
Hahahaha YES! Here’s a fix for the population issues. The upper 3 tiers get Desert BL maps (you know, because they require real skill and all that). The tiers from 4 down get Alpine BL maps. THAT is how they can get people to transfer down.
Do you think there is enough population for 24 NA and 27 Euro servers to fill 4 maps each ? That’s a total of 96 NA and 108 Euro instances players can enter … Go figure .

No one plays Desert Borderlands and no one cares about it so why is it so hard to give back Alpine Borderlands for now before everyone eventually quits ? And then perhaps tweak Alpine Borderlands by like replacing ruins with something else . If it’s not hard bringing back events like Winstersday then why would Alpine Borderlands be an issue bringing back ?
Any chance we can make all NPCs invulnerable in wvw and so they not interfere and disadvantage anyone in fights or give an advantage to classes like thieves that use them to their advantage by spamming Cloak and Dagger ?
Thief is pistol and dagger so Debilitating dissipation + Crippling Dissipation wouldn’t have much effect on the thief since pistol is like 900 range
Hi the title pretty much says it all . Is there anyway to prevent a P/D thief spamming cloak and dagger of your clones and if so how ?
That skill allows them to wear you down easily and pretty much spam skill 1 meanwhile you’re blowing all your utility stealth skills just to stay alive and when you do its pretty much GG . Any tips will be appreciated Thank you .
