Guild Wars 2

Some good ones above me. I’d love to see EOTM style points of strategic value. The mercs just aren’t THAT useful.

I’m on the server that is perpetually [outnumbered] and I have to say, the buff is a joke. magic find isn’t doing bugger-all when we’re outnumbered 5-1 and both of the larger servers team up on us since we’re the easier captures. Make [outnumbered] into a stat boost that scales with the difference in numbers within 2000 units or so. This would even out zerg fights but wouldn’t give unfair advantages in 1v1 skirmishes with the scouts.

I’d also like to see defending be more important. The rewards for defending a point are lower than for capturing and when you’re outnumbered it’s hard to take back a point before you get ganked. I propose that if you capture a point in the enemy corner of the map that it falls into disrepair when no human player occupies it for an extended period of time and the walls and gate begin to take periodic damage, kind of like bleeding. Either that or everything gains stacks of structural vulnerability that costs supply to repair. This would make it easier to retake forts in your own corner unless there are players in there to fight. Would also help to balance matches and stopping one server from just curb stomping another.

I also really don’t like [Righteous Indignation]. Why should I have to wait 5 minutes to capture a point the other team already abandoned? Replace it with a decaying stat boost so that it is much harder to capture right away, but still possible.

Lastly, let’s get some new siege. I’d love to be able to set traps like land mines of various types, like striaght up damage, wide range stun, wide range bleed, etc. They’d have to be short-lived, like 10 minutes between placement and expiry, but would provide a more interesting defense strategy. like set mines up at the door and the other team would have to use a mine sweeper siege to slowly sniff them all out and disarm them. That would give them something to protect and slow them down. More than just the “set up a bajillion rams and we’re golden” strategy we’ve got now.
