Guild Wars 2

I would love for future jumping puzzles to require use of certain skills. For example, entering the jump puzzle would require a transformation that gives you certain movement skills (such as the Zephyr Sanctum aspects or guild rush spider’s Leap) in place of your regular skills.

bhagwad.4281:

I think it’s time to pay attention to what should be a rule in multi player games:

1 player should never be able to cause trouble to 2 or more players. No matter what the situation. If 1 player is able to do that, something needs to be buffed/nerfed somewhere.

I disagree with this 100%. I very skilled player should be able to at least “cause trouble” to two other players. What you propose is a game where skill doesn’t matter, experience doesn’t matter, builds don’t matter, gear doesn’t matter, decision making doesn’t matter, and the only thing that does matter is having more people on your team.

Best:

• Super Adventure Box
• Bazaar of the Four Winds
• Molten Facility
• Halloween 2012
• Wintersday 2012
• Scarlet’s dungeon and invasions

Worst:

• Cutthroat Politics
• Lost Shores
• Dragon Ball (it was my favorite thing in GW1, but the GW2 version is a disgrace to its namesake)
• People farming Scarlet’s invasions and causing a failure for hundreds of people who were actually trying
• Flame and Frost: Prelude

Best permanent content added since release:

• Fractals of the Mists
• Guild Missions
• Achievement rewards
• WvW Ranks
• Minigames rotation
• Infinite tools
• LFG Tool
• sPvP Solo Queue + Interface enhancements

I have to say, I am a little disappointed that, despite asking for feedback and receiving it (hidden among a sea of unrelated complaints), the “Blue Jellyfish” is still rainbow and now the “Rainbow Jellyfish” is blue.

Major thanks goes out to Peter Fries and Scott McGough for coming up with the term Crab Toss as well the most excellent title in game: Crabgrabber, which I will wear forever.

I don’t know about most excellent; Yakslapper definitely gives it a run for its money.

The 3% of players who complain about ascended gear on the forums would ecstatic, 20% wouldn’t care, and everyone else would be really mad.

So 77% of the players have Ascended equipment?

May I ask your source on this information? Did you run a survey? Do you have access to inventory data?

probably just thinks everyone else agrees so made up numbers to justify his opinion. Nonsense really. 90% of the player base probably wants ascended removed. I’ve come across very few who want ascended to stay.

They are made up numbers, but they’re definitely more accurate than the numbers you’re making up.

AnthonyOrdon.3926:

Actually it’s two minutes. And the map capacity of Crown Pavilion is limited to 75 before it starts to create overflows.

So that’s a maximum wait time of…

(75 / 6) * 2 = 25 minutes

With 12 tiers, assuming you never fail, and complete each fight instantly…

25 * 12 = 300 minutes = 5 hours

If 5 hours of standing there waiting is intended, I hope that other stuff going on in that map is good.

Of course there is a limit: Learning whether or not Braham likes ham, for example (say that five times fast) is probably better left on the cutting room floor, but exploring whether Braham likes Rox, or Taimi, or Logan (does anyone else want to see a guardian duel between these two?), well we believe that there’s real emotion there.

Isn’t Logan a warrior? Also, Braham could beat the snot out of Logan without breaking a sweat.

no, logan’s a guardian. he loves his bubbles.

Haha, I checked the wiki right before you replied, and edited my post. I’ve been thinking he’s a warrior for two years. This is going to take time to adjust.

The next living story update will introduce a cycling schedule of mini-games (it’s in both candidates promises, so we know it’s coming). That means these minigames aren’t going to be thrown away, but rather introduced into a permanent, repeating cycle.

The Wintersday and Dragon Bash minigames will reoccur annually, while Crab Toss, Sanctum Sprint, Southsun Survival, and Aspect Arena will be the start of the new cycling minigames.

Players wanted the living story content to be more permanent, so Anet is creating a way to make any living story minigames that get added permanent content, without getting too stale. They need a variety of minigames to start that off, so we’ve gotten a lot of minigames for the last few living story chapters. I agree that it’s been an overload of minigames recently, but I expect it to balance out soon.

Tyler Chapman.1832:

Thanks for the report, this is a tricky one. We will continue looking into it. If you ever have more information on this bug like for example reproducible steps, go ahead and post them here!

Thanks for the reply. I haven’t noticed a way to reproduce it yet, but I’ll let you know if I do. I also think I’ve only seen it happen while in combat.

Katz.5143:

I think that being special is an inherent quality to the item and has nothing to do with it being limited.

I like to pretend that I’m a purist like this. But then I think about my Dinotopia book and Virgin Black poster that are signed by the artists. The signature adds nothing significant aesthetically to the items, but I value them more as a result. I also have my original Jetfire Transformer from when I was a kid, and the fact that they aren’t made any more does seem to imbue that hunk of metal (back then they used METAL in toys!) and plastic with more value. People will pay more for an old broken down ‘67 Mustang than than a new car. I think that ’being special’ is indeed an inherent quality, but that PART of the inherent quality is its context in the world. A ’67 Mustang is inherently more valuable because it is scarce, like my Transformer and Virgin Black poster.

Or perhaps we’re looking at it the wrong way. Maybe the premise that ‘inherent value’ is a tenable concept is wrong. After all, value is a human-derived concept. ‘Things’ are just different combinations of chemicals after all. Nothing HAS value in and of itself. So if we can agree that value is composed of -and for- humans, and only perceived by them, than the full gamut of human psychology must inform that valuation. And having something that others do not is, like it or not, an unavoidable component of human psychology. It may be a part that the more self-examining among us tend to loathe, and would like to grow out of. But it’s there none-the-less. The impulse to escape it is perhaps the impulse behind asceticism? I don’t know. It’s interesting to ponder.

+1 for writing a philosophy essay as a valid response.

diamondgirl.6315:

What DOES keep all the angry peeps playing? I am asking seriously. What makes you log in to this game instead of one of our million other choices? Let’s find that and make more.

My guess is that most of them are just whiners who will whine about any game they play. At least GW2 gives them someone to whine to.

I don’t normally agree with complaint threads, but now when I recommend the game, or talk to new players, I’ll have to include the caveat:

“It’ll be boring at first, and it’ll treat you like a braindead toddler each time you make a new character, but don’t worry, it gets better at higher levels.”

Uncheck the “Mute when GW2 is in the background” option. The announcer says “Last chance to nail down your strategy” after you get pulled into the match, so you should have 5-10 seconds to tab back into the game before the match starts.

I’m enjoying the living story, as are my friends who play. I get messages most days about exciting little things they found in story instances or speculations about what’s coming next.

mercury ranique.2170:

Keep in mind the guardian often plays ranged

What? Guardian only has one real ranged weapon, and that’s scepter.

EnemyCrusher.7324:

There’s already an underwater world boss, but people don’t play it very often because it takes some effort to get to. It’s at the end of Flame Temple Tombs and requires about 5 players to beat.

That is true and there are a few Champ sharks about also

What Im thinking of though is something on the scale of Fire Elemental, Shadow Behemoth and the Dragon Champions etc

Huge World bosses like that
we don’t have anything like that in Gw2

You’re referring to the “epic” rank bosses. True, Rhendak the Crazed is only a champion. I think it would be cool to have a world boss that required coordinated attacks from both water and land at the same time.

I almost feel bad, but you asked for this. I did #4 too. The removed commas are replaced by bold numbers in parentheses here. Not all removals are grammatically correct, but the post still makes sense without them.

Sanderinoa.8065:

Ok so I am not able to post a video right now, university is quite time consuming (1) but I had a couple of minutes to check out alphard. Here it comes, for mesmer soloers (2) as well as teams running with mesmers.

First off, the pull attack can be reflected with temporal curtain, a traited warden, as well as a feedback, the bomb damage does become yours when pull is reflected (3) and originates from your current location( watch out gsmesmers). The warden’s reflection obviously makes the bomb originate from your warden’s location though.

Now (4) for the safe strategy, for mesmers the problem will now be the daggerstorm, which hits instantly, while the normal approach would be to use blurred frenzy and blink out of the area near one of the crates, because of your DPS lack, this will end up with all crates being destroyed before Alphard is(hypothesis, I am unable to test that now).

So here it is. The phantasmal warden, when untraited, has the uncanny ability to block any and every projectile(some of you may use this at old tom), I am not sure how many are aware of this, anyways, this, you guessed it, includes the DAGGERSTORM.

so, to kill alphard, use the phantasmal warden at the start of the fight, use your new OP signet, spawn your next warden properly so its attacks lock into the first warden’s. Now (5) try to take alphard’s attention for a little while (6) and use feedback for his pull attack(consider standing close for extra damage) (7) whenever the small gap between the warden’s attacks occurs.

When the warden is now off cooldown, spawn your third warden and make sure its attacks lock into the gap, giving you a permanent warden’s attack upkeep.

Now (8) for the adds, considering you’re likely running 20 in inspiration, make sure the traits you use are glamour mastery and temporal enchanter, now equip mimic and feedback. When the adds spawn, first use feedback, hope you do a lot of damage, after this (9) use your mimic skill and run out of the warden’s protection into the group of mobs, these are likely to attack you, and because of their quick hits (10) you will reflect an enormous amount of damage back to them (11) after the initial projectile absorption.

If one of your wardens dies nontheless, you still have your signet and normal warden CD to get this guy back up and running.

Sidenote: to those thinking the warden will be interrupted by the pull, making it impossible to keep up the protection, as was certainly true before, this is now irrelevant (12) because you’re blocking instead of reflecting. The reason the warden was interrupted before, was because he reflected the pull attack, this attack intervenes with the spin, thus ending it as the pull is launched back. Now that you are blocking, this is no longer the case, so they will keep spinning.

Now just hit it (13) and wait till he dies.

I hope this helps out

EDIT: I too tried out this technique for myself, finally, turns out its actually extremely hard to pull off, as mimic makes your wardens bug out and stop spinning, making you extremely vulnerable untill feedback is up again. With mass invisibility I was able to take him down eventually (14) but this is not reliable.

For mesmer soloers, use the same pull technique as done in the mesmer duo (15) posted a bit later:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X04Ylot-51g

Extra note: mimic can also be used in combination with the stability mantra to absorb the pull+bomb attack, which can help some soloers get Operative Brie down more easily, as it can hit about 70k with every one of the 4 hits(direct damage)

In team setting, the warden block still works, so I would like to think it was not all for nothing.

I am sorry for the inconvenience

They have made changes to help colorbind players:

• Enemy AoE circles were visually changed to look different from friendly circles (so that being red instead of white wasn’t the only difference).
• WvW and sPvP team colors were changed to be higher contrast for colorblind players (which made them an eyesore for those of us who aren’t colorblind).

An option to make AoE fields more obvious is a good idea, but if they would tone down animations and particle effects like they’ve been saying they would, it would probably make it easier (for everyone, but especially colorblind people) to spot the circles among the distractions.

I feel like the downed system is a great mechanic, especially in WvW. Players who are trying to save other downed players are often easy prey. Plus, if you can’t finish off downed players even with the downed penalty and finisher mechanics, you don’t deserve the kill.

That being said, I respect your complaints, but propose a different solution:
1. Elementalists in Mist Form can’t pass through gates.
2. Finishers can’t be used on Outmanned players.

Apokriphos.7042:

What do you guys think?

Absolutely not. This would destroy WvW.

Your guild wants to play together? Too bad, half of them just got kicked to EotM.

You just ran across the entire map to try to save a tower? Someone just popped in to take the shortcut back to LA, so you’ve been kicked out.

Calling in backup from another map to help against a bunch of omega golems? You already have 20 players to defend against those 15 omega golems, so all of your reinforcements have been redirected to EotM, leaving both maps vulnerable.

A group is costume brawling in the safe zone? No one else is allowed to play on this map, because one of the opponents doesn’t have anyone here. The other one does though, so your server is out of luck.

Josh Davis.6015:

Considering most minions/summoned pets are already susceptible to the aforementioned changes we feel that this is a fair way to bring turrets more inline with the rest of the game.

Most minions and pets can also deal critical hits and receive boons. Adding those abilities to turrets would make them too powerful, but it’s something to keep in mind if you’re trying to “bring turrets more inline with the rest of the game.”

This sounds like a rare but long-standing bug that was only revealed because of so many people doing Goemm’s Lab for the Aetherblade Cache. I hope any players that were wrongfully banned even before the Aetherblade update get reinstated too.

Nilkemia.8507:

Um, where does it say that Moto’s competing for the Snaff Prize? Is there even a Snaff Prize going on right now? Please show what sources this information comes from.

Also, I should mention that aside from a little dialogue from Vorpp, no one even knows her “Eternal Alchemy seeing” machine exists, and I’m sure if it was in the Snaff Prize competition, we’d know about it.

It’s mentioned in game by one of the NPCs when you follow the genie’s instructions. Also, I didn’t say that Moto is going for the Snaff prize, just that people assume that based on the info from the living story. Honestly though, he probably is.

I really doubt Scarlet cares about the Snaff prize, but she obtained her powers from that machine, so she has a strong motive for no one else to obtain such a machine. For details, read What Scarlet Saw.

On the other hand, I doubt Moto’s innocence, because one of the devs had a disclaimer saying that his actions and behavior bear no reflection on his namesake (Shigeru Miyamoto).

I’ma take your karka’s style. I’ma take your karka’s style.
No for real, ask a karka, can I have his karka shells?

I think most of the unskippable ones are because something is actually happening while you’re watching it. Using the molten bosses as an example, you can’t skip that because that’s when they enter the arena. If players could skip that, they would still have to wait as it happens anyway.

That being said, I hate the burning boulder cinematic in the grawl fractal.

The Royal Terrace will be a thing, but it’s not the thing you think it is.

A terrace fit for a particular Mursaat emperor perhaps?

There, I fixed it for you.

I also think this is a bad idea. If you can’t get to a waypoint, there’s probably a reason for that. If you need to get to a specific place isn’t completely outside of your level range you should be able to run there in a matter of minutes. This suggestion would remove all of the experience that players gain from discovering waypoints and completely trivialize exploration.

No, it sounds like you have nothing to contribute and are trying to hijack a constructive conversation with destructive slander. If you can’t follow the rules, please don’t participate.

DevonCarver.5370:

Rules
1: This initiative is all about discussion.
2: We will not be disclosing information pertaining to what is currently in development.
3: Anger and emotion will have less impact than intelligent discussion.
4: Together we will share and evolve design philosophies which will impact how we develop the game moving forward.
5: Aggression and disrespect to a fellow community member or developer will not be tolerated, and in the extreme could lead to the shutting down of the initiative.
6: The teams primary focus is work toward the development of GW2 and therefore posting of discussion and commentary may not be as frequent as you like. Please do understand that the initiative is taken very seriously by us all and that we will be reading the discussions and joining in as often as it is possible to do so.

I encountered about 6 doors last night and none of them were able to close. I wasn’t sure if it was a bug or not. Glad it was fixed though, there were some mean fields full of skeletons forming in Gendaran Fields.

Unfortunately.5940:

Glad i farmed one of these bugged doors to get plenty of candy corn for my monthly achievement and more before it was “fixed” to the grind-state Anet apparently wants it to be..

So you’re glad you spent a bunch of time farming so you wouldn’t have to grind? Am I hearing that right?

I’ve been wondering why there are 5 portals in Lion’s Arch that presumably lead to expansions. At one elder dragon per expansion, I thought that was one too many, but now it makes perfect sense. On the other hand I doubt the Sylvari are dragon minions, but I wouldn’t rule out “the nightmare” being related to the final dragon.

TheHiTmAn.4738:

we can see a corrupted version of each race ….
each race have a corrupted version … all but one … the sylvari … we have never seen a risen sylvari … or branded sylvari or Icebrood sylvari … that for sure raises a question …. Why ?

This is because their race is so young. No Sylvari were around when Orr sank, none have died of old age yet, none were there when Kralkatorrik created the dragonbrand, and none have gone to worship or (directly) fight Jormag.

Konig Des Todes.2086:

Given that the Master of Whispers herself makes mention of Zhaitan’s death being “one fifth” of their primary goal, it would appear that one of the two questions is answered with “no” – or at the very least, that the sixth dragon isn’t a threat (yet). And yes, the Order of Whispers knows of the sixth Elder Dragon, as Scholar Trueclaw is an Order of Whispers spy.

It’s likely that the sixth dragon has not yet woken or even suspected to be dead, and therefore isn’t being counted as part of the threat.

Electro.4173:

She’s still too afraid of Scarlet to talk, and I doubt Scarlet has any intention of rescuing her since she doesn’t seem to care for much for any of her “pawns”. What’s she going to do / say other than what she already does?

I guess they could swap around her dialogue a little, but it would just be variations of the same thing. “I ain’t talkin”.

I agree that Scarlet probably doesn’t care to rescue Mai Trin, but the fact that Mai is still trying to hide Scarlet’s existence from the people around her who are all talking about Scarlet doesn’t make sense. Plus she’s hinting at the attack on Divinity’s Reach in future tense. Maybe she is completely oblivious, but the Lionguard left her cage in an open space to show off her capture, so you’d think she’d have heard something by now.

Arleii.5304:

I’m so hyped! But a huge let down for me would be if the ladders weren’t in-game…I really hope they are in-game, looking for official game stuff outside the game is just not cool, but otherwise, I am so glad these changes are coming! Good work Anet, here, take a cookie. gives a cookie <3

I don’t really mind them being visible only outside the game, but I can understand wanting them visible in-game. If it isn’t visible in the game, a /leaderboard command would be nice, and customizations to handle /leaderboard <arg> where <arg> is either “ap”, “pvp”, or “wvw” would be even nicer.

This is absolutely ridiculous.

I can understand slowing down the introduction of a few things, but this has gotten way out of hand.

Anise isn’t a traitor, she’s the queen.

Here’s my theory:

Queen Jennah is just an illusion that Anise uses to protect her true identity.

When Scarlet tried to kidnap Queen Jennah, Jennah turned out to be an illusion. It was said that she had anticipated the attack, so she replaced herself with an illusion, but if she had anticipated it, why were there no other preparations?

It’s noted many times how Countess Anise is never far from Queen Jennah’s side. This is likely so that she can maintain the illusion.

When Kasmeer requests that Anise ask the queen, she gets a response so quickly that she mentions to the player character that the reply came surprisingly fast. This is because Anise doesn’t actually have to consult anyone else to make the decision.

At the end of Party Politics, Anise says “The queen sends her gratitude as well. She can now attend your summit.” before even leaving to consult Jennah. This implies that not only that Anise was the one making the decision of attendance, but that the queen’s gratitude is really Anise’s gratitude.

During the Entanglement chapter, the Royal Krytan Locket was introduced as a powerful magic item that shows the image of the rightful heir to the Krytan throne. It was not only kept under very high security, but its very existence was kept secret. Some players have wondered what role the Royal Krytan Locket will play in the story, but I haven’t seen anyone ask why its existence was kept a secret. Keeping it safe makes sense for a powerful artifact, but keeping it secret implies that there’s something to hide, which means that Jennah’s image isn’t the one shown.

I’ve noticed a lot of warriors using greatswords purely for the movement abilities. This happens mostly in WvW, but I’ve also seen it in sPvP.

Okay, so what’s the problem? The players who (ab)use these abilities have the option of ejecting themselves from a fight, with almost certainty that their enemies will not be able to catch them.

This seems to go completely against the philosophy of the warrior being the brave frontline damage dealers that they were designed to be.

Unfortunately these cowardly tactics are now very widespread in WvW. At least 50% of the roaming players that I’ve encountered in the past few weeks (bronze tier NA) are greatsword warriors who pick fights and then run away when they get below ~30% health. Even thieves who try to stealth away from a fight are less frustrating and easier to catch.

I recently heard a rumor that the movement abilities of warrior greatsword and elementalist fiery greatsword were being nerfed, but those changes do not appear to have been kept for the feature patch.

Can we please do something about this cowardly play style? It’s very frustrating when more than half of the people who pick a fight with you run away as soon as they start losing, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Edit: Since I only mentioned the greatsword part of these builds, the situation wasn’t fully clear. In addition to the greatsword, these builds use some combination of these:
Dolyak Signet (stability and stun break)
Balanced Stance (swiftness, stability, and stun break)
Berserker Stance (condition immunity)
Signet of Rage (swiftness)
Mobile Strikes (movement skills remove immobilize)
Dogged March (-33% duration of movement impeding conditions)
Superior Rune of Melandru (-25% condition duration and -25% stun duration)
Bowl of Lemongrass Poultry Soup (-40% condition duration)

First no fall damage from walking down stairs and now this? Descending has never been so peaceful!

I will miss waypointing while falling and having my character suddenly appear screaming among a group of confused strangers, though.

My recommendation for those who got rifles is to sell it on the trading post and use the money to buy something you can use. I doubt Anet has any means of telling whether a rifle came from a laurel box or any other source.

Edit: Although my preferred but highly unlikely solution would be for Anet to make rangers able to use rifles.

Great suggestion, but it is exactly that, and belongs in the suggestions forum. Also the title isn’t descriptive at all.

Since the last patch, characters on the character select screen are too close to the camera and are off-center.

My banker golem dies immediately when summoned, but the bank window usually does appear.

Ursuletul Morocanos.2958:

This would work better if you gave us the option to chose what maps we want to play. In my case you are just forcing me to play Skyhammer when the maps comes up in SoloQ.
If you could chose the maps you want for soloq and still quit the the punishment would be ok but if you are forced to play a broken map like Skyhammer which you don’t like 2 times in a row you get punished for nothing. I thought the hole idea was to have fun playing the game not being forced into something you don’t like.

Ressing a 7 month old thread, that is unrelated to Skyhammer, to complain about Skyhammer? Really?

If you want to pick the map, play hotjoin. If you’re playing for rewards, then you don’t get to pick. If you’re just looking to avoid Skyhammer but still get good rewards, enter team queue.

The main idea was that because of one map you can’t choose you could get dishonorable because you can get two in a row. Starting with this year I decided to no longer play that map just because I wouldn’t be fair to the other players. There are threads and threads about Skyhammer and yet Anet doesn’t do anything. If they don’t care why should I? And to make matters worst you may end up not being able to play spvp for one or more days because of dishonorable.
I play team areana when I have a team assembled and we are on TS. And also I like to play solo and team because they challenge you in different ways.

So you think that you should be able to ragequit without getting dishonor because you don’t like one of the maps? How would that be fair to anyone else?

Why was the decision made to allow legendary weapons to be tradable, but make ascended items account-bound?

BrotherBelial.3094:

There great for leveling alts, and if not, they are skill point scrolls for a level 80. What’s not to like about them?

Skill points are basically useless for those of us with all of the skills, hundreds of extra skill points, and hundreds more scrolls of knowledge.

I fully agree with the OP.

A lot of people responding here are responding about chat message suppression. That is not what the OP is referring to. Mail message and chat message suppression are two different things.

Sending mail to players who are in your party, in your guild, or who have you on their friends list should not count toward the excessive messaging limit.

Xalugami.2096:

Crafting to me feels like a desk job, it seems tacked on and really archaic. Now it’s required to obtain the best-in-slot equipment (which goes against their original concept of earning max gear the way you like to play, may I add). Adding time gated crafting recipes you need in order to make account bound equipment doesn’t make sense at all and makes this feel like a bigger chore than it already is. It’s not player (alts) friendly, it’s not logical, and it’s not fun.

Crafting isn’t required to get ascended weapons. You can obtain them via world bosses, champions, guild missions, or Fractals of the Mists, it’s just a very rare chance. I hope to see them available via WvW soon.

I agree that account-bound time gating is detrimental to those of us who play multiple characters. There should still be some form of time gating, but it should be per character rather than per account.

It also doesn’t make sense that the resulting time gated materials can be sold on the trading post. Rich players can simply skip the time gating, which seems to destroy what Anet was going for with the time gating in the first place (although not as bad as being able to buy legendary weapons on the trading post).

Forgara.9172:

It would be very convenient to have the option of converting fractal relics back and forth between pristine/regular, however it would go against the purpose of having a second currency completely. There is no reason to have items exclusive to Pristine relics that can only be obtained through daily fractal rewards if you could simply be buying multiples per day with the relics you receive during any run, daily or not. In lieu of that, perhaps adding the Pristine Fractal Relics to the collections page of our bank would be more suitable. We could still collect them for any ring purchases or new recipes that require them, or consume them if you were in need of more regular fractal relics.

I was a little shocked when the latest episode was released and I discovered I needed 5 Pristine Fractal Relics. I collected most of mine and kept them in the bank for a long time, I had nearly 150 of them up until a few days prior to the episode’s release; I had finally decided to just consume them all and turn them into regular fractal relics, coincidentally just before I needed them.

It wasn’t a huge issue, it only took me 2 days to get the 5 I needed, I just did a few extra daily fractals in lower reward brackets.

+1 to the voice of reason.

I might have missed something but I don’t see an actual proposition to “fix” night capping. How would we “fix” or “ease” nightcapping? Also, I think night capping is perfectly fine since it gives players a better chance to succeed without needing to run with a large group. I might be a little biased though since I fight for Sorrow’s Furnace, which has a large nocturnal population.

Also, giving more points to servers with less population would generate a lot of player hate. Elitist WvW players would be trying to threaten or bribe all of the PvE/PvP players off of their servers, and servers would be able to sabotage their opponents by simply sending accounts to their servers.
