that was exactly our guilds process as well, halloween patch, everyone waiting for patch downloading it asap, and yes you guessed it right back in wvw ^^
as a player on the NA guild, my guild consistently have a group of players that stay up til 4, 6 am close to everyday for this match up way past our ‘prime time’ putting literally 8~12 hours per day everyday.
personally, i haven’t even done one halloween event or quest, as a lot of the ppl in my guild haven’t also.
And no, trust me wvwing at 4am 6am server, most of the sor presence were non NA guilds, such as CRS and ND, both of which are large xfers from hod. Big props to them and their presence, great job.
Epic is great opponents too during NA prime time ^^
SoS as a server called out for help for NA presence cause they wanted to be serious and move up in tier ranking.
why are ppl even using halloween event as an excuse x.x sor’s asia pac wvw presence was still up and running, putting up a fight, props!
and there are more events inc, anet does xmas and more too! events are never an excuse to stop wvw unless your server is completely dominating.
and sor did get massive xfers this past week
some of the jq xfers and
crs, nd and more asia pac guilds, from hod probably some of the stronger / bigger asia pac guilds out there.
As it stands right now, SoS is probably a little stronger during NA prime time, and SoR is far stronger during asia pac hours due to the new xfers

if low pop servers were consistently matched up with high full pop servers i’d understand the imbalance
but thats simply not the case, most of the top wvw servers all have high / full pop around the clock, maybe other than ET for being one of the newly released servers as well (which is never low pop either, mid to high throughout the day and growing fast)
Also there is no shame at all to being a lowers pop server yet put in the high pop bracket, it means you have skills to get there, that in itself is something to be proud of.
ya, and i am a NA player and dont bang on doors, siege weapons <3
it is actually pretty rare to be in an empty map also, most of us that actually do chose to help out the server overnight know that we always have ppl to fight xx
i find it really weird for non hod players to complain about hod queque times, anyone?
i have been getting intant queque from 1 am up to now still in wvw on hod (and have been for more than a week), during prime time its about 1~2 hour queque time, its not bad at all actually.
whats the point of that graph comparision of wvw queque times of hod vs kaineng? they arent in the same ranking or put in the same wvw bracket, most of the top servers are always full or at high pop throughout the entire day (not just peak time). Simply looking at wvw queque time is not good enough, what you should look at is server population vs wvw queque on said servers.
Server population is not actually a problem, its the organization of the ppl that are actually online to cover a 24/7 war that is. Thats not an imbalance. -.-
is this a troll thread or something? i have been getting intant quequed from 1am til now on hod, it is not even close to full in wvw
during prime time its like 1~2 hours queques
no most servers are still at HIGH pop during mid day actually, thats exactly what ppl are saying, its not that u have no one online, it is that the ppl online on these said servers dont put in the effort or time to get organized to put up a better fight during ‘off peak’ hours
even hod population goes down to high also mid day/ overnight, like all servers.
it is also very wrong to think that ALL of the oceanianic and asian players are on hod, visit any popular gw guild site you can easily see that there are plenty of oceanianic and asian guild spread across multiple servers, not on only one. The key is again organization.
The main alliance, wvw guild on ET also left their full high pop server to go to a lower one, i find it a little ironic for them to complain about pop too high on their old server, then complain again about not having enough ppl after they moved off … -.-
Also a TON of NA players take naps, give up sleep to take shifts overnight during the week, to put in their efforts at night, myself included.
servers are always in flux with free xfers, if your server presents a positive and competitive wvw scene, you will attract more like minded guilds to move there.
exactly i simply dont understand where is all this outcry of population imbalance from, honestly, unless you are from kaineng or devon, all the other servers are at full or high, there IS already a cap on how many ppl one faction can have in a map
the population on each server is there, its just that they aren’t organized enough or plan to put in the effort to have a presence in wvw overnight, that is not anet’s fault nor is that imbalance.
plenty of NA players play overnight on purpose, get organized and set schedule shifts to cap at night, it is a perfectly viable and smart way to win a 24/7 persistant war.
<—-NA player that does wvw during off peak hours by choice for the pass week or so on hod
instant quequed almost every day ard 3~4 am actually -.-
nor have i ever got into a map and think wow, so empty, no one to fight, quite the opposite actually
what? its a 7 page test and i only want to do 2 pages of it, and ace the 7 page exam
everyone else shouldn’t be allowed to do the remaining 5 pages cuz i dont wanna do mine.
i dont know where you are getting population imbalance from, most of the top servers populations are always full / high, even ET is at full/ high mostly too
hod have better coordination overnight than others, the maps are NEVER empty during non peak hours at all, quite the opposite. Its intant queques for hod players during off peak hours too, there are plenty of NA players that play during off peak hours by choice, often times i feel i was the minority server on some maps also.
all the said servers most definately have the population at their disposal on AND off peak hours, what you do with that resource is your own. (tho with all the qq and negative attitude i highly doubt more serious ‘off peak’ hour guilds would want to support you)
what do you want next, hod to give you gold to upgrade to fight them too?
where are u getting these queque times from?
i am an NA player that purposely take a nap and go to wvw off peak hours, and i get instant quequed almost everyday on hod
nor have i ever went in to a wvw map off peak hours with no one to fight, quite the contrary actually
yawn, so much qq from ppl
as a player that have fought against and for hod
WvW has always been a 3 way realm vs realm 24/7 epic persistent on going battle. I am not sure why is night capping even looking downed upon at all, its intended that way and servers that have the organization to have presence 24/7 should be top, and not punished. Having 24/7 coverage is actually THE best strat any server can and should aim for.
I am sure i cannot be the only one that came from other 24/7 pvp games, where 24/7 camping and griefing occurs, really? would anyone complain that you should only be allow to pvp during your own ‘peak hours?’, ‘pls only pvp me and my guild when i can be online of my choosing’
Also, all of this oceanianic/ asian guilds show up off NA peak hours, i have zero queque time during off peak hours on HOD on all borderline maps on any giving day. Yes, you got it, instant queques.
There is NO magical time where NA must log off, i, as an NA player go take a nap after dinner, put on an alarm clock and wake up early or middle of the night to get my fix of wvw in to help out my server (on all the servers i have been in), i should not be punished for doing that. I do this cuz i want to give bigger organized guilds groups shorter queque time and get in their guild groups in easier during peak hours.
I have logged in to wvw at many off peak weird hours, 2am, 4am, 6am, (pst), not once have i logged in and feel, wow i am a zerg, theres no one to fight at all, there are plenty of off peak presence from many other servers. Whether or not they were organized is another matter. There are plenty of times where i actually feel outnumbered playing on off peak hours on Hod.
There are plenty of non casual NA gamers that have np staying up late or waking out early if they are serious about winning. And win or lose, it can still be a great fight. WvW is never meant to be a serious balanced pvp, there are plenty of other ways to get that in gw2 if thats what you prefer 8v8, 5v5 on your peak hour of choosing.
I feel ashamed to be represented by other NA players that feel overnight presence in a 24/7 WvW is somehow bad. If that’s a server’s weakness, that’s what that server should work on first. On a even more serious note, how is any oceanianic / asian guild suppose to want to go to your server if all they see is qq on forums how they do not want to have any overnight presence and that somehow they are worth less since they don’t play on your peak hours. -.-
NA peak hours aren’t some magical hour, there’s at least a 5 hour difference coast to coast, there are plenty of NA player in non NA guilds and international players in NA guilds also, it is sooo narrow minded to think and limit yourself that way.
Complaining about ppl capping when you aren’t around is like complaining other ppl have better gear than you, so you should just not let ppl have gear in wvw? no, you get better gear. Low overnight organization?, get organized, take shifts in your wvw play.
