Is it really a beta when it’s being dropped on the live servers?
A little foresight for organized groups, who like to organize and prepare for things, might be appropriate. OP +1’d in the hopes of someone might notice at Anet.
It’s easy to “fight” when you outnumber your opponent, even easier when you tend to want to fight within arrow cart, mortar, treb and cannon range.
But to the OP topic,
Since the “Full” server status is no longer is limiting transfers, um because there are no full servers, can we get another system that prevents a player from transferring to a server where they would further imbalance the tier/match population?
Which server were you on that had a fair match?
Or do you mean where you weren’t losing?
Also why is anet or anyone else supposed to stop people from transferring servers, people are free to go wherever they want.
It isn’t free
Which is part of the problem
You can move completely free if you wish to do so. It will require for you to delete your characters (you can still save your account bound stuff in the bank) and then start over again. Not optimal but it is totally free. You can also farm gold and then exchange to gems, which might take a while, but if you really want then this is also doable.
As topic started i don’t get why you blaming a-net over moves done by players. I mean what is it you feel A-Net should have done? Chain the players to a server and force them to stay or quit the game? Players should always have a choice.
In EU server status changes all the time. What was the top server one day, is down at the bottom another, and then it goes up again. Guilds are moving around, players are moving around, it is a part of the game. If you want your server to recover then work for it. Will be hard work and take a while, but in the end it mostly solves somehow and if it does not, then stay or move, your choice, but blaming Arena Net for something that us players do is silly,
I’ve transferred over a dozen times, that’s not what I meant.
The reason no attempt to balance populations has been made is because it’s a revenue stream for Anet. And yes, gaming companies have found ways to discourage imbalancing.
I’m in Tier 1 atm so I’m not sure where your sarcasm is coming from or what is directed at. It was pretty clear to me that when JQ guilds started dropping down it was to stop a rising DB.
It has nothing to do with “Evil Overlords” and more to do with JQ trying to stay in Tier 1. There are people on BG and JQ that are heavily invested in those servers and will play the tier meta game to stay in tier 1.
You are free to dismiss this as rubbish but I think it is commonly accepted at this time that this is something that happens.
I hope DB keeps recruiting and keeps pushing.
Not a single JQ went to t2 to stop DB, stop pulling stuff out of your behind. The people that went to t2 is because their timezone in t1 was not to their satisfactory and want to find their happiness elsewhere.
Which is why Kazo went to the server CERN was on.. right? .. umm
Eh, I am just waiting for TC to hit T1. After our 3 biggest guilds quit(FA) we lost all hope of beating them. We still own them when outnumbered in fights tho, which is funny as hell. Map blobs getting owned by 30/40 people.
And to those complainging about double teaming, already forgot SoS+TC vs FA? haha
Yeah all 5 people left on SoS at that point must have been rough for you guys
EotM has surpassed WvW, real or not. It’s a solid game mode that keeps players engaged and playing. Which, I might add requires no additional development to run. So, the last time I checked that’s exactly what a game developer dreams of creating. A self sustaining game mode that requires little input and minimal overhead.
EotM stays as is.
a.k.a. JQ’s (not winning the match this week) safe room
Where did u get this info? They should start reading the forums and they would understand what they have to do with WvW – starting with taking back old maps.
lolz, NO
New maps are VERY welcomed!
Agreed.
I want what we already have but Anet aren’t using variety
You’re completely understanding about your order at McDonalds being screwed up too, Never cut a truck driver off on the way home? Look, nice long line at the grocery store, no problem!
Bunch of “we are working on stuff”and no real answers, nothing seems changed.
Yeah, I’m wondering if they started working on WvW back when “Everybody was working on the expac” or “Everybody was working on Living Story 2”
Seems like timelines have started heavily overlapping, based on which section of the community they’re addressing…
ANet still thinks that is has all the time to fix WvW…every week without fixing WvW is fatal but they talk about a production cycle of MONTHS…lol.
I spent four hours on Friday, trying to fix a corrupted web page. Everything I tried failed to fix it.
Then I finally found the problem: a single comma in one page of code, buried at line 225.
I realized then that 10,000 pages of code, particularly ones built quickly, would yield equally frustrating hours.
I fully understand your frustration. It’s good you care about the game. But there’s also real people at the other end of those attacks, and I truly wish folks would find more adult ways to communicate.
I also suspect they had a plan ready, it got leaked, there was uproar, then they were brave enough to scrap it and start again. I’d much rather a different approach than the disastrous EoTM for all of WvW. Feel like we dodged a bullet on that one.

While losing Friday was bad, the real loss is all day Saturday. Half of every weekend gone, it’s added to the feeling of pointlessness in the score. Most matches being a foregone conclusion by Monday.
Under the old system we at least could have the illusion of hope all weekend.. Now Sunday night comes too soon. Saturday and Friday mattering not at all.
The development money went to living story, not PvP. Watch season 3 beat the “top priority” WvW update out the door.
Weird, for a game called guild wars huh?
You guys are waaayy off topic xD
Dude asked if Rev or Ranger was better for a FIRST WvW class, starting from scratch. He’s gonna be undergeared, upleveled and inexperienced.
I.E. he’s gonna be respawning and lost a lot.
Don’t tell him glass ele or for god’s sake fatkid necro is a good idea when there’s a forgiving, self-sufficient, effective class like rev sitting there.
I ain’t a big fan of Rev myself, but for a beginner it’s great because he can take it anywhere.
Those 2 but not much AoE. Necro would cover that if you like a caster type. Middle ground, I like my Ranger in Dire gear/Short Bow and Warhorn/Axe.
900 range isn’t backline.
OP: hammer Rev is your baby.
If you’re picking one class, that’s a great one in current meta.
You’ll be comfy in just about any group scenario… Ranger isn’t so welcome oft times.
It’s a murderball mini-game, which I think is a great idea..
Problem is it doesn’t work. The event causes map wide lag so when we actually try to fight during, it chokes up with as little as 10 people overall participating.
When people call it a PvE event, at the moment that’s true. Because anyone actually looking TO fight has to leave the map, leaving just one side to finish uncontested.
