McKenna,
I appreciate you coming on here and attempting to explain everything, but it really comes across as excuses for a horrible change. As a roamer, I contribute to my side by flipping the occasional camp (as needed), making sure we get bloodlust, keeping the mercs on our side, etcetera. So, let’s say I decide to flip the hyleks for my side. I run there and start killing. If my timer is under 1 minute, a kill resets it to a minute. If I have more than a minute, then killing a krait gives me about 10 seconds added to it. Basically, after I finish flipping the hyleks, I have a minute to go do something before going into degradation.
Pre-change, I could kill a krait and then go to the nearby tower with no worries of degradation, even if we met resistance at the tower. I would have at least 5 minutes before degradation would kick in. So, at least in some cases, you’ve reduced the time before degradation to less than 5% of what it was. That drastic of a change is ridiculous. It makes many of the WvW objectives completely pointless and reduces the expected play to either flipping camps or following the zerg.
Yeah, I’m a roamer. I went into WvW and capped a camp. Killed a sentry. Then built a catapult to take a tower. Lost all participation running to and from the camp to get supplies for building the catapult… Figured out that wasn’t working for participation, so I capped a ruin then ran to another ruin and the degradation started before I could get to the ruin. That’s ridiculous. This change works fine if you’re a zerger. For a roamer, this sucks.
