The OP reminded me of another GW2-feature I hate: You cannot view Vista’s while in combat.
Especially on places where the high is important this is very anoying.
Mobs never reach you where you are, still you never loose their aggro.
So it’s always: climb the high position, logout, login, watch vissta, very anoying.
I don’t care about spawned stuff intended or not, but a nice way to cycle through the different F possibilities (e.g. shift-F selects the next) would be a great QoL-improvement.
Next ally in options usually does this, though it might not be effective in cases where someone drops hundreds of items somewhere. It does work to separate out 2 or 3 interactable items to allow you to press f for the one you want.
Thanks for the hint, didn’t used that so far. It may help sometimes, but it also has a serious drawback: it has a to long range and includes to many things like player, pets, mini’s, all friendly NPCs (if they talk to you or not), while 100 of items are rare, but 100 of players with pets and minies are not. So it’s not very useful to cycle through e.g siege-constructions at a gate with the zerg around…
A cycle through only the F possibilities at current position would be nicer.

That’s why I believe that server linking is a hot-fix which gives ANet some time to fix the population imbalance problems. As long as demotivating the enemy from playing is the most effective strategy to win, WvW will have problems.
I agree, server-links as done now isn’t the solution, at best it’s a hot-fix.
I guess the sum of GH and Vabbi population look good at link time. However what ANet did not considered was: Vabbi was full of #1 bandwaggoner, that simply moved away when linked to last instead of first rank.
Now it happend
Night-capping Deso has more score, but less skirmish points than Riverside
Desolation: 131 449 Riverside: 127 819
Desolation: 64 Riverside: 70
Total ppt is now 252. As the skirmishes result in a 1:2:3, this corresponds to a standardized ppt of 42:84:126, whenever the real ticks are more balanced, the skirmishes increase the contrast of the result, whenever the real ticks are more imbalanced, the skirmishes reduces the contrast.
I think in real games we rarely have a tick similar to 1:2:3 (44:84:126). I think the most common situations are the following 3:
1 side dominates, ticks of 2nd and 3rd are rather close (skirmishes favour the 2nd over the 3rd)
1 side is not present, (skirmishes harm the 2nd vs the 3rd)
all sides are quite balanced: (skirmishes favour the 1st and harm the 3rd)
The main improvement is: It doesn’t matter if you win a skirmish with 695:0:0 tick (as happen often in off-time) or with a 235:230:230 tick (as happen often in primetime). So the score doesn’t run away that far in skirmishes strongly dominated by one side.
Just had a quick look into out match and saw that the skirmish score is 5-4-3. How can that be? Shouldn’t_it 3-2-1? (i.e. the sum should be always a many of 6, but not 15)
I think Glicko should be reseted on every relink (i.e. every 2 month) based on ANets population measure using to build the links, e.g. as following
Compute for every link the total-pop.
There is a MaxPop and a MinPop
The link with MaxPop should get 1750 Glicko
The link with MinPop should get 1250 Glicko
All other are lineary scalled into that range.
There is and will never be balance with server anymore. Much to many people have accounts distributed over multiple server or pay 500 gems transfer with left and play where the grass is greenest due to heavy bag rain.
Only people count number of server is irrelevant,
Probably they are nearly empty.
And as transfer target for 500 gems it desn’t matter if it is 1 or 2.
Population seem to be further shrinking 1 tier less than before
They had queues for every border every single day for last 3 weeks, but ok… They are empty
“Anet and servers linking” It is not knowledge, it is state of mind
WsR and FoW had queue?
FSP had, so I don’t see a point to give em 2 servers…
Better 2 server a 10 people than 1 with 25, right? But yeah none wold have been better.
Still we don’t know how ANet computes population, probably quite a messy way.

Our immediate focus, besides scoring, was to bring the Desert Borderlands map back, in the mixed borderland setup, that the community recently voted for.
Now that both maps are available to players, at all times, we can begin deciding if we want bloodlust to become a feature in Desert.
Um how can something that two servers have and gain points from, and one server don’t have and there for not gaining any points from not being focused to add or as i understand your post even questioned if it should be added? I mean it clearly give advantage to two servers and disadvantage to the server that are forced to play dbl, which is a punishment to start with.
I do not understand your post and i am trying to not get upset over it but it is really hard.
Isn’t the question: How relevant is bloodlust!
Compared to man-powerimbalance and off-time scoring it is completely irrelevant for match outcome. If matches should be more fair these 2 needs to be taggled and not the irrelevant bloodlust.
That was not what i said. I said you first spend money to get the game and then you spend money to skip large parts of the game instead of playing them. Why do you see this as winning?
Or to cite mysself (as I still do not understand it):
And the fact is that i could spend $100 and completely skip my grind for ascended.
Yes, you can spend money to shorten your play.time, but is this a win for you?
If you say yes, then I wonder why you waste time with gaming at all
SImply don’t play MMO’s that costs neither money. nor time, a double win for you.
ANet is selling Gems to get gemshop items and server-transfers. And beside storage extension and permanent-harvesting tools there is nothing in the gems-shop that helps you to play.
Gem-Gold is a player-to-player trade. One gain gold, the other gain gems, and both boost their goals with that.
I only see P2D (pay to dress) Especially as there is nothing to win beside pvp where gold doesn’t help you and if you buy gold for PvE you only loose, namely play-time/money.
Maybe because the DBL objectivs are easier to defend (if there is no laser event anymore) and red is still considered to be the most often weakest side?
Just do the dailies that you can do solo easily (guards, sentries, camps, veteran creatures, boh spending, …) in off-time and you have it within 14 days with 15 min effort a day, i.e less than 4h effort. Ok, that needs some planning ahead and is therefore impossible for most
I’d love to be able to sell all these gifts of battle I have in my bank
I would have invested my 33k BoH in gob’s, if that would be possible
It was, he who hesitates is lost.
No it was never possible to sell gob’s. And without being able to sell gobs I don’t want a stack of gob’s in my bank.
Because /facepalm on I find all legendaries really ugly, how can you want to wear one? /facepalm off I only build a leg once for sale when a pre dropped in front of my feet (in WvW, from a Kodashie). And hehe, I’ve the gob reward-track stopped at 99% such that I can get one very fast should that happen again.
continue shooting from where you are and with luck and the right place you hit it sooner or later
you do the large Jumping puzzle, between 3 and 4 key yo pass this karka and can simply shoot it from the roof. Now with gliding this JP may be easier than it once was, there may be several short-cuts now, e.g. from the light house in the south you can glide to the harhor roof now.
Will never happen because you would kitten off 20 hours of players who play outside of that period.
If I look around in EU and also NA-T2 thats less than 20% of the total players that play in these 80% of off-time.
It doesn’t matter, if you are on at that time you count as participating if you are on at anytime during the (whole week) match. In fact I would propose to have achievemets like season 1, but you CANNOT make them in the 4h that count for tournament-scoring.
The only thing that matters is: This is the only time where nearly all server are able to fill all 4 maps.
Nonsense, WvW is much to empty in Offtime. What do you want to show with a PvD-race?
The only tournament I would support is a 4h per week tournament, e.g. the first 4 hours after reset count for the tournament, the rest of the week is just for Glicko.
Increase the distance between the “contribution popup” (as in hearts of Maguma and WvW) and the “chests on right side”.
I always get the contribution popup when I want to loot my chests.
Add a hot-key (assignment possibility) to loot the chests on the right.
All the bandwaggoners will make their server go to T1. The way to counter? Don’t be on a T1 server. Join one that has been T3 or T2 at the most. Blobbing isn’t fun and neither is the lag or lame comments coming from people hiding in 50+ man zergs.
That was a perfect strategy for NA as long as T1 was Glicko separated from the rest, but now it isn’t any longer, so they break out to run over T2/3 (currently in EU even rank 10 got a T1 server) as well.
Did not read anything beside the title, but if you would scan the forum for all threads with titles of XZY killed WvW, you probably noticed that it already got killed several hundred times
If you want a cost function (it only slows down band-waggoning, it doesn’t hinder it), make it to cost time not money, e.g.: World-EXP is World bound. Each time you transfer you reset WEXP to 0.
Further possibilities are:
commanders are gone on transfer
BoH are gone on transfer
you need to make X-WEXp ranks in EotM on the new world before you are allowed to enter WvW
all wvw related guild hall builds are gone on transfer
