Well, I’m just guessing here, but if you are up against a server who can hold 3 orbs while simultaneously taking and holding their own keeps. bloodlust is the least of your worries. As for population imbalance, there’s plenty of ideas thrown out there, but ultimately it’s up to the player to chose. you might be fine with Anet one day giving you a message saying that due to server imbalance issue you have been sent to server X and have no choice in the matter, but I think it’ll kitten plenty of players off.
As for wether the vocal minority opinion should matter or not. I should, but if the cost is losing the interest of the satisfied majorty and end up losing more customers, then guess what they won’t implement?
Before bloodlust we consolidated to two borders and did the best. With even numbers or outmanned it was atleast fun to try hold the zerg or attempt open field. But now with orbs the fights are even more lopsided. Pop imbalance is hard but anet has to attempt something… they haven’t taken a single step towards balancing pop in wvw.
Anet does seem to be psychic it seems. They gather data from satisfied majority without them voicing their concerns or feedback. According to anet the satisfied majority is anyone playing the game after their changes. So even the vocal minority dissatisfied will count as satisfied majority as long as they keep playing. Weird way to get feedback.

anyone notice that devon hasn’t been seen on the forums since the GvG/dev fiasco?
and anet said they would be reprimanding said dev…….verrrrryyyy interesting.
I doubt it was him. I think he probably doesn’t come on here right now because the forums are pretty much against his ideas. He can argue them, but there isn’t a lot of value in that.
ANET has a vision and will implement it. Forum users said the ruins would be a fail. They were right. I’m sure that’s another reason Devon doesn’t want to come on here. It’s hard to admit when you are wrong.
It will be interesting to see how the leagues go. I think most people on here say they will be a fail. Hopefully not, but we will see.
If bloodlust’s stat boost is removed leauges are maybe fun but with buff and pop imbalance leagues will be a giant failure. Anet is trying to drive WvW players into pve/spvp to make money since wvw doesn’t do kitten for them but they don’t realize that wvw is the only endgame that keeps players coming back. Soon wvw will be casuals running around dropping acs in open field and going pew pew.

When you fight a server with higher pop and they have all 3 orbs. When they have enough people to recap all 3 orbs and push our keeps/towers/camps at the same time. When their zergs are made up of 60 with 3 orbs and we have 25-30. What should we do?
Also how do we get people to transfer to a server and balance the pop and do your job for you? How do we tell people to transfer to mid tier servers with 75% PvE population for 1800 gems instead of going to a stacked server with more WvW players for same cost? How do we do this?
Also How do you gather data right now? How can your data not show that servers with higher pop take orbs and are stronger against weaker pop servers? How do you not have weeks of matches results and not know which servers need to be perma-matched because of pop imbalance? How much more data do you need?
Also why should a average wvw player post on this forum if you consider them a vocal minority? Even if they are vocal minority do their opinions not matter enough to warrant a change? Looking at the posts since bloodlust release how many are in favor of the buff? Do you have the data on this or are you still crunching?
Please anet help me help myself to enjoy the game. You guys must have experience playing against higher pop servers with 3 bloodlust buffs and constantly outnumbered. Please tell us how you defeated them. I bet you have hundreds of hours in WvW please tell us how bloodlust has helped you enjoy the game more?

Hello,
Bloodlust gives 1 point per kill. Add some mf/exp/karma/wxp bonus (25%) each orb will give people incentive to get the buff and fight over it. What it shouldn’t do is give the server with higher pop a advantage during peak hours. Take gold league as a example & TC. Any server that fights BG/JQ/SoR/TC outside of T1 and T2 doesn’t have the population to fight for bloodlust and fight for keeps/towers so people choose towers/keeps and few straglers fight for bloodlust. The straglers are outnumbered and soon give up on bloodlust which the higher pop server keeps for majority of time. The zergs of smaller pop servers are not only outmanned but have to deal with 3 orbs now too.. It doesn’t make sense. Gold league will have horrible matches because of this guaranteed.
TLDR
Please remove stat boost from bloodlust and swap it for mf/exp/wxp/karma boost instead to help the lower pop servers fight higher pop.

So wait… you say people, if given the choice between staying in tier 1 or transferring to a lower tier to help balance things out, would rather quit, but then you go on to say that if Anet removes the choice and applies a cap to the amount of players/map on tier 1 to try and balance things out, these very same people who would quit in the other scenario would be all too happy to transfer now? That makes no sense.
A better idea would be remove leagues outright, or better yet, just make 24 leagues. Everyone’s a winner!
The queues even with 25% reduced pop with T1 only gold league shouldn’t be that high offpeak hours for each of the servers. During peak hours you might have higher queues which will force new people to move out to lower tiers or yes quit the game. Seeing as it is their choice to play on T1 or quit game they deserve that choice but same T1 stacked servers fighting T2 or below will make kittenty matchups that will make people quit game outside of just T1 servers.
Follow @twitch.tv/Luvpie
Hate this idea! A large part of the WvW population imbalance issue comes from guilds bandwagoning into T1. People know this, yet no one is willing to spread out.
There’s no incentive to spread out if T1 is always matched with T1 because it’d always be pretty competitive. But the way the Leagues are designed now, T1 is guaranteed to have many weeks of uncompetitive, unfun matches with T2 servers. The incentive to spread out in order to make matches more fun for everyone is much much greater.
You give people too much credit. Most people will quit instead of moving to lower tiers to balance. T1 guilds/players want the stagnant ‘competitive’ 24/7 fights with lag/queues. Let them complain in couple months and then tell them to kitten off and transfer or stop kittening
Instead T1/T2 players are more likely to stop playing over next 7 weeks because of boring matchups then transferring to the outmanned server.
What you say may very well be true. WvW is in a very tenuous position right now and this cure may kill it.
But if T1 becomes its own league, what will happen is that more and more guilds will transfer there. Slowly, servers in other tiers will lose all their core guilds to T1. Without core guilds to hold things together, the gameplay is much diminished. We’d likely see fewer and fewer pugs participating in WvW in the lower tiers as a result.
Why would T1 people care about this? Well, I can see a point where the lower tiers just collapse population-wise so that the overall WvW population becomes so small (T1 can only hold so many players) that it’s no longer worth it for Anet to support it any longer and the whole thing is shut down (or just left to rot with no support).
Of course, it’s also possible that gear treadmilling may kill WvW before this all comes to pass, but that’s a story for another time.
Agreed. Increases queues on stacked servers will balance pop though. Anet should reduce max # players from each server by 25% (100 to 75) to reduce skill lag & increase queue times to make people transfer to balance pop & increase competition.

@ Anet. If you are worried about variety DON’T! T1 people chose to play on stagnant servers with similar matchups every week. It’s their choice so let them play how they want. They don’t want variety so don’t sacrifice their fun and T2’s fun for variety…

Agreed, almost all T2 guilds already moved to T1, so any fight that isn’t JQ/BG/SoR will be complete blowouts. Not sure if we can get Devon to change the system a 2nd time though.

Follow @twitch.tv/Luvpie
First of all thanks for listening and splitting leagues atleast 3 ways instead of doing 2 but since the announcement something terrible has happened… Tier 2 servers or prospects of T2 servers have begun jumping ship and stacking on T1 US servers… I have seen atleast 2-3 guilds from T2 servers move up to T1 since 3 league system was announced. Instead of balancing T2 with more people it seems people are going for the easier path and joining the stacking in T1. Imho the closest thing to balance would be 4 leagues with following setup. I hope you are able to setup the leagues this way….
Top 3 – Gold league (battle of Titans) Coverage wars blah blah SoR,BG,JQ
Next 6 – TC,FA,SoS,Mag,SBI,BP (200-300 rating points difference close matchups)
Next 6 – EB,CD,DB,IoJ,YB,KN (Close servers all within 150 rating points close matchups)
Next 9 servers….. Sorry I don’t pay attention to these matchups but I think they should be close looking at ratings.
Long term help to destack T1:
Reduce max # of players on a borderland. T1 has skill lag but still more people going there because they want fights all the time but they could easily get same fights by making T2 more competitive but anet you need to force the issue by increasing queue times for stacked servers… It will help reduce stress on servers and the fights that T1 actually has will be more fun. Instead of giant blobs of 60s it might be 30-40s actually able to use skills and regroup. More fun and skill lag might be solved..
Adjust transfer costs based on WvW population. Look at numbers. It doesn’t make sense that T1 servers which have highest pop cost the same to transfer to as T2/T3 servers… WvW is the only reason to transfer since guesting allows cross server group play but WvW #s aren’t looked at to balance pop? How does that make sense? Please work on this…
PS: I know you probably can’t do this before Season 1 but THINK about it atleast… Please try to do this for Season 2 and maybe reduce the duration of the season… 7 weeks of imbalanced Gold league will drive players away from game…

12 pages in less than 12 hours, maybe Anet could listen to the player community and try to implement this GvG structure within sPvP or create it as it’s own arena. Regardless of how this has come up it is clear that the player community is passionate about this topic and to dismiss the possibility of adding GvG in a future update (whether near or distant) is not wise in retaining players.
You could even turn it into an eSport :P

Please consider reducing the max number of players on a map by 15-25%. ex: If current max before queue for server A is 100 make it 75. This will do two things first reduce the load on the server so people have better experience and reduce chances of skill lag. Second and more important is it will punish servers stacking (ex T1 NA) with queue times making people spread out to T2 and possibly lower ties.
To give T1 additional incentive to destack please adjust transfer costs based on WvW population. You should be able to tell how many people from each server play wvw and hours and come up with some sort of metric. Make it cheaper for people to move from T1 servers to t3/4 and Really cheap to move to t6-8. Only way people are going to move is if you lower the gem costs from moving out of T1.
TLDR.
Reduce max # of players on map to create queues on stacked servers and reduce skill lag. Also consider reducing costs of gem transfers out of kitten lower tiers and figure out transfer costs based on wvw population.
PS: If you can’t do this permalock T1 us in matchup with each other and let the rest matchup like you are doing.

The only good and acceptable change to bloodlust is the removal of stat buff.
Period.
Such a simple statement. And spot on. This is really all that you need to know regarding the Bloodlust buff Devon.
Oh and while you’re changing things, change the way the leagues are scored to encourage 2v1 against the stronger server. Change it from 1st – 5pts, 2nd – 3pts, 3rd – 1pt. to winner take all. Winner 5pts, two losers 0pts.
Better if you put a map cap of 40 on the BL, 60 on EB and your own BL. That way nobody from stacked servers gets on AND they can’t get the requirements for the season rewards.
THIS. You need to reduce the number of players on a map till you fix skill lag issue. This will also cause kitten destack cuz of queue times. I suggest 25% reduction on player limit (100 to 75).

Thanks to BP/CD guilds that keep on fighting till Thursday! Here are the highlights from SoS defense yesterday.
ooooo! Movie Reviews, I love these! And I remember some of these fights, as I was commanding for a few of them. Mind if I give the blow by blow from the opposing side? Of course you don’t :P
Anyway, first scene actually was not from Thursday, that was Wednesday. Rolling up to hills, I was expecting significant resistance and at least 1 scrub on the inner cannon able to destroy all my rams. So I built an Omega. Of course, you guys had a metric butt load of Arrow Carts on the wall, so we were in a pickle when your zerg came up from behind us. I bailed to the right when you went for the omega and we tried to use that as the focus for our fire. Sadly, too many people on our side did not move fast enough and got downed on that first push. We skirted the perimiter of your attack for a bit but in the end I called it and we waypointed out. Manly tears were shed. Only myself and about 10 other people were up by that point.
Second third, and fourth fight in the video, no idea. Not my work and was not there, thank god :P Of course, they all involved the briar tower, which everyone knows is the hardest tower in the game to capture from defenders. Well, everyone as in anyone who plays WvW enough knows this. Honestly, not really impressed. Holding the Briar choke is basic stuff. If you can’t do that you need to go to tier 8.
I’m sad, you got anymore video? Preferably video NOT defending Briar….or even better, do you got video of when I took Briar from you? And I know you do, I recognize the tags. I watched those tags melt one step at a time as I pried you out of Briar inch by inch. You can’t forget it either. I know you remember. Siegerazer leading the charge and those Borlis noobs sticking tight behind him, not running int your chokes, ranging your arrow carts and gently guiding razer into your zerg ball every step of the way. You got that video. I know you do.
Ty for blow by blow.
1. Complaining about SoS building siege? Seriously. BP doesn’t have a single fight; even in open field where you don’t drop a ballista or ac. We try not to put siege unless we don’t have a core on ts3 and aren’t outnumbered.
2. I know choke is basic stuff, but without your superior leading I guess BP isn’t good enough to push the basic stuff. I recognize the tags too.
3. Did you seriously brag about using siegerazor as cover and pushing into tower with equal or greater numbers inch by inch? Grats on the cap. That’s why when we saw the siegerazor this time we dropped some acs to act like a filter for people hugging him. Live and learn.
You guys have some coordination/organization under BS/WFD tags. One thing that doesn’t entitle you is to acting like a baboon and beat chest. See you in game.

I don’t know if I’m the only one who feels this way, but WvW is the only End Game to GW2. So why does it get the least attention? You really think I care about a new skin for my back piece? Or a one time boss fight? I’m getting tired of seeing all these updates that make PvE “better”. “better” as in grind this content for two weeks before it is gone and replaced by the next two week farm. Why not put some actual thought into WvW, which players gear for, and build guilds around.
Leagues might have been a step in the right direction, until they up the server populations, and only announce two leagues for NA. You really think 2 leagues will be balanced and competitive? 4th ranked TC, cant even compete with any of the top 3. But, you expect 12th ranked servers to have a chance? lmao, you guys really pride yourselves on thinking these things out?
Only way we can hope for change is if we stop playing wvw. According to Devon as long as people play it means they are doing things right and won’t listen to us vocal minority.

When the league starts there will be no tiers. Glicko rating will disappear. Everyone will start on 0 points. Depending on the draw it is possible (even probable) that the current top three ranked servers aren’t going to finish as the top three.
We have to change the way we are thinking about this.
No there is no possible outcome except whether SOR or BG will be 1 or 2……. JQ 3, TC 4

where is this post?
Follow @twitch.tv/Luvpie
Over the past few months we’ve seen a steady rate of player migration from underpopulated to heavily populated servers. The rate has increased lately.
Why did Anet choose not to put transfer locks on T1 servers? I’m guessing they are making money off the transfers… and they don’t want that to stop. Now every player (who’s capable of earning/buying 1800 gems) can be T1.
Because, let’s face it, if people can pay to switch to the side that’s already winning, they will. Especially if there is no recourse, no penalty. In fact, players are rewarded with 100% win, and Anet is rewarded with $22.50 USD per transfer.
Not going to change.
Yep. They had over a year to attempt to destack T1 US and allow people to transfer to lower pop servers pick the last 3 and make it 200-300 gems or something for just the weekend but no never. Anet hasn’t taken a single step to balance coverage issues which cause stale/lopsided matches.
Anet also purposely hasn’t adjusted the way RNG still affects matches and causes servers like SoR to fight out of T1. Devon claimed that they will monitor and adjust but I guess they still need more data….
Follow @twitch.tv/Luvpie
I think many players are falling for anet’s trickery and moving to T1 in US especially leaving lower tiers dead. Instead of closing the servers I think anet announced this idiotic idea of Leagues to make some easy money and have people transfer on their own for rewards. The idea of having 2 leagues in US where T1 servers will be matched with lower tiers is causing people to stack up in a already stacked T1.
Here is a preview of a T1 server fighting anyone outside of T1 (JQ,BG,SoR)

Change the buff from the blood lust to give what outmanned gives…
Roamers love the new map changes and the mechanic on how to obtain the buff is ok (3/5). It adds a new meta to the game with the stomp = 1point mechanic.
BUT and this is a pretty big BUT it doesn’t make sense to reward the higher population server to get stat boost. I think the concept of getting 1 point per ‘orb’ per stomp is great and will promote open field but the stat boost (+50) ruins open field especially for the server with the lower numbers. Open field combat is one of the best things about WvW and when you lose/win a fight it shouldn’t be because you didn’t have enough people to neutralize enemy orb.
Organized guilds outside of T1US will be able to get back to GvG as well if you remove the stat buff.
Suggestion:
Replace the bloodlust buff (+50 stats etc) with +50% mf + 50% WxP + 50% exp gain & keep the stomp = 1 point mechanic to make it worth while to get. Everyone will want the 150% mf boost on top of the 300 achievable using base mf. This will allow you to increase rewards from WvW drops as well.

How many times did you see SoS come on here and complain about losing t3 keeps; especially to the Ram bug when patch hit? None. Grow some balls and move on. Complaining about being outmanned at certain time of day is getting old. Stop being a kitten. Outside of Ark/VR/PYRO I haven’t seen any organized play from other guilds this week. Good luck in your draw next week.

Lol. Out of hundreds of posts complaining about the buff and offering alternatives and this post praising the buff and asking for minor change only THIS post gets responded to? Seriously. I guess only people that are going along with the changes get listened to.
Also This guy is from T1 where population is not a problem at all. On a server where you are constantly going against superior numbers the new mechanic as destroyed morale.
Going along with it and trying to find ways to make the situation better is better than banging your head against a brick wall. Bloodlust is here and it probably isn’t going anywhere, so make suggestions on how to improve it instead of randomly raging.
The only thing that will make the situation better with bloodlust is somehow balance the population. How many steps has anet taken in regards to this? How often have they reduced gem price to transfer from very high pop to low pop since release? Instead they make the strong server stronger with this stupid buff. Have we seen any ideas on fixing population gaps which is the main culprit.
