Guild Wars 2

Vexander.9850:

Speaking as a gay person, if I had a relationship with someone and thought they were dead, I would not kiss them when it turns out they’re alive. I would immediately get them somewhere safe so their injuries can be properly treated, and then in privacy share my emotions of gratitude and relief with them. As it is, Kasmeer played into the over-emotional woman trope and in my opinion, that’s disappointing.

Extremely well said and other than the fact that I am straight, I couldn’t agree more. Had my wife been in a near fatal accident, my first reaction (and I’d guess most peoples first reaction) would not be to tongue them. This happens in movies a lot too (usually between straight couples) and it’s just plain silly.

The reason we are regularly outnumbered is that we went from T1 to T7. Yes we are going down in ranking, but it’s taking months. I’ve been playing since beta, so I understand the mechanics of WvW and that isn’t the problem. The problem is because we reached T1, things got difficult… it was harder to make progress and large guilds started jumping ship to T8 servers, building huge zergs and then climbing the ladder by obliterating everyone else.

And yes, occasionally skill can defend against a zerg, but in my experience zerg servers usually come back with even more people and eventually overpower you anyway… so your victory is short lived. Right now, Kaingeng is even camping our spawn. We have built seige weapons inside our spawn and can treb them for points. You can almost fire at random spots and kill 4-5 of them because there are so many. For everyone who thinks this is fair and I’m just being overly critical or don’t understand the game, then I challenge you to transfer to GoM or HoD and show us what we are doing wrong.

My point was that there needs to be some incentive for people to join underpopulated servers or leave overpopulated ones. Right now, it’s in everyones best interest to join the most populated server with the lowest rank and just zerg your way through WvW and that’s what a lot of the big guilds are doing.

I really enjoy this game… and I’d really like to keep playing it… but it’s absolutely no fun when your server is always outnumbered 20:1 and one of the other servers hold everything. They even have so many people with nothing better to do, that they have groups of people just hanging out at camps in our own border land just waiting for us to try to retake them. I thought this game promised to focus more on skill… but instead it has turned into a zerg fest. Even if we try to run a break out event, they send a zerg and just crush it… Why does anet allow this type of thing to occur? It seems like this would be easily fixed by limiting the number of invaders (at least in the border lands) by a percentage of the lowest populated server (or at least the border lands owner). If we have 50 people in our BL, then they should only be able to have 60 or 75 at the most. Right now, they can have 1000+… the 50 people on our server get mad and guess what they do… transfer servers (just adding to the problem). If the zerg servers are limited to some percentage, then they would get queued for WvW. They would get mad that they are having to wait, and guess what… they transfer servers (and hopefully to one that isn’t overpopulated).

Please do something before I completely lose interest in playing this game or transfer my characters to a zerg server.

Thanks.

I don’t know if it should require the outmanned buff, but something definitely needs to be done. GoM is currently dominating WvW for us and as we were trying to retake our border land, they still had half of it and they were some how launching breakout events against our towers… Completely unfair when these guys outnumber us in our own BL and they are getting the benefit of breakout events on top of all that? These guys are currently holding all of eternal battlegrounds… WTF arenanet?
