not gonna happen. ever.
- Gate the transfers of people to the new servers based on population. As one server starts to fill, close it so the others can fill up and match the server levels. This process should take at least a week. This is to ensure even populations across all timezones and should help to curb “night capping.”
more ocx/sea manages to get into server A before it gets full. Less gets into server B before it gets full. same kitten will happen.
- One can ONLY transfer to a lower populated server for a gem cost and can not participate in WvW for a week.
Ok, we let servers fill up with baddies/pugs/banwagons first. Then we have an organized mass transfer of all old guilds from BG into some low pop server. Same kitten as now.
- Population numbers will not be exact as people come and go, move on to other things but don’t leave. There will have to be a buffer amount at the top end. There should be ongoing metrics of actual participating players to determine a servers population health (this is crucial, you can’t just set it up and leave it alone). This buffer amount will also be needed for large groups of people who want to transfer or newly participate, like guilds.
good luck coding this.
are you prepared to wait a minimum of 3 years?
3) Have a real overflow system.
I thought you just said that a new map should be added if the others fill up?
Is this guild wars or siege wars?
wvw is both.
You get rid of projectile reflection blocking treb shots, but you put an ability on catapaults? How dumb is that? Now we just build a catapault amongst our 3 trebs. This isn’t working.
actually, this was an improvement as it makes us pay more attention to our supply usage and we aren’t reliant on one class to do it.
Provide more health to gates and walls relative to siege.
agreed
6) Create a real GvG area.
This isn’t just a map, or a portion of a map, but a whole new map and game mode, like PvP, just on a larger scale. it need its own interface. There’s been enough on the forums about this.
agreed
7) Think outside the box more!
It isn’t popular on the forums, but I think many people like the “orb” system. It adds a whole new dynamic to the game. It rewards fights. It makes us have to consider points denied and points recieved per stomp. That’s a lot of dimension. Keep stuff like this that works. I just came up with the ppt system in that city map thing while writing this. Imagine what you guys could do.
the ctf style of the old orbs was probably what people liked most about it.
Looking at how many new modes and maps PvP has received tells me this.
what new game mode? also, pvp maps are a fraction of the size of a wvw map.
