Guild Wars 2

Yes, this is another ‘night capping’ thread.

I think that it’s completely unfair that North American guilds are able to cap our points back at night while we’re asleep or while we’re at work. Our Oceanic & Asian guilds work extremely hard during the PEAK hours (5pm – 1am AEST GMT+10:00) to cap as many keeps and towers as we can, we build up a nice lead and then we come back the next day only to find that we’re back down the bottom again because the LATE-NIGHT players (US/EU) have capped them all due to our guilds not being online.

Some people have put forward some great ideas that may help.

=== Dee Jay.2460: Scale the score system according to peak play time. Peak hours (5PM to 1AM) – 150% the standard score Late Night (1AM to 9 AM) – 50% the standard score Day time (9AM to 5PM) – 100% the standard score ===
motku.2354:
Reward players who fight during the peak hours; when maps and queues are full. And make the teams that have a solid late night group still gain something for it; just not as much.
=== silvermember.8941 Acknowledge that people have to sleep and stop punishing players on the only servers they can play on with decent latency. The implementation would be as follows: 12 am -12 pm accept these as off peak and 12 pm to 12 am as primetime for all NA based servers (all times are GMT+10:00). During this time, if the outmanned buffed is on longer than 15 minutes per map all points will start degrading to a maximum of 250 points (all maps combine), this means even if you hold everything you can only get 250 max. This could even be made to work 24/7 on servers that have larger WvW players, but for my purpose i propose the 12 hours version. ADDED: I just realized that since they are 3 servers it might be a problem. So instead of relying buff maybe make it so that points are worth 50% of their value from off peak. ===

I think that the above guys bring up some really good points that will help the Oceanic community to stop having to put in ridiculous hours in-game only to be overrun when we’re sleeping & working. We shouldn’t be punished for this.

For the North American players, we’re sorry, but this is how it has to be

Cheers.
