Guild Wars 2

@shadowresli Good commanders in your signature? You can easily lure those in a trap. They are just actrivly commanding the side that is outnumbering the other side 10 to 1. Nothing good about that.

Been playing for about a year and very activly. So far only one ascendant item dropped for me. Also the amount of exotic drops is very slim, usually a spoon. Its very easy to get your character exotic geared. The game stales a bit after you got them.

Often you see many people complaining when the game is yet again unplayable. Also for the last half year this lacked a response from Anet while in a other thread they did mention it as a problem

I think when they develop part three and it doesnt sell well they understand

@coglin this is the same weak excuse people make for a-net over and over again. The simple fix would make the gamemode balanced so yes it is possible.

@junkpile look at attached printscreen of a saturday evening blue zerg. You expect to win a first fight with it against 90 players? It takes 10 minutes to get a gate down with such a group just to whipe on the boss

@dawdler the game mode is nice for a lot of people. Its different then running up and down a map and switch between maps all the time like regular world vs world. It offers more instant action. The only problem with the game mode is balance.

First of all i dont really expect an A-net response on this since its regarding to their pay to win concept. Which is unfortunate because they don’t yet realize this is actually costing them customers.

Second for all trolls saying this is an overflow and shouldnt be balanced. Since most WvW is dead on lower tiers the map isnt really functioning as an overflow map. In fact A-net accidently created a wonderfull game mode that could be enjoying. EotM just provides more instant action environment (for small servers). There are people that actually like it. And no not for the farm. I have so much karma and honor badges i have no idea what to do with it. I like the game mode.

What frustrates a lot is that you are always outnumbered 5 to 1 or more unless your paired with the SFR side. This doesnt really involve any skill. The biggest win. It makes the game mode unplayable most of the times especially when you are playing blue (last 7 weeks for me with exception of being red once). Its the same reason I’m writing instead of playing. We where defending blue keep with our zerg of like 10 people. we had ac’s, ballista ballista’s to counter up and waiting. But they are just so much that they would breach it anyway.

Since this is the only game mode i really like i guess i would get to the point of quitting some time. You could have made another 100 or 200 buck out of me but i guess the customers paying for a transfer make a bigger revenu.

I found this in another topic and its a perfect simple solution:
If you join EotM, you join the smallest team, would do it. Added that if you are in a team you could join but when and equal amount applies to the other team. And seperate it from WvW

I know theres other topics about this to. One actually had a A-net reply. But got silent for over half a year now.

Anet reply in this topic a whopping 6 months ago. States they are not going to fix it..

i didnt really read about better rewards, i think most people want a fair match!

Nice idea from Jski. If you wanted to stack on a full server then expect ques..

Make the outnumbered buff dynamically. Are you outnumbered 3 to 1 then every character should be as strong as three players. Als reduce the amount of supplies needed by the outnumbered team dynamically. This at least in some way equalizes it is a bit

@Indie Not only the strongest. They are the storngest usually because they outnumber there opponents.

A lot of there customers are leaving because of this. So if they don’t care then they shouldn’t cry when customers leave. I’m about to quitte and ask for a refund to. Having 4:1 imbalance all the time is something they should fix. You already paid for the game. A lot people i know are not gonna purchase the expansion and a lot stopped purchasing gems. I think they have no idea the amount of kittened of customers they have about this and that its costing them money.

While they can’t seem to even fix balance?

Actually most of the times you don’t get the outnumbered buff anymore. <sarcasm>Guess there is some dev attention</sarcasm>

No need to decipher I’m on blobwars this week. Look at the attached imaged. Spawncamping with two zergs of which each is bigger then the 5 opponents left. I guess a lot people here paid for a transfer to SFR. No other way you could find this imballance okay..

Grym nailed it.

I thought there was somebody from Anet watching on this list? Where did it go?

That you can pay to be on the winning side. Where you outnumber your opponent 10 to 1

If you search or try to search for the word “balance” it doesnt find anything. That would be near to impossible

10 -1 imbalance, no replies from the Anet on it. I feel mislead as a customer!

Yes but 5 guys can’t repel 100-150..

Last night i had setup a perfect AC trap with around 30 players. We almost finished them off completly since it was near our spawn point to. Yet they won. They just kept comming. Even thought they had to walk nearly the entire map. Being outnumbered give your team so many disadvantages. It’s ridiculous. And keeps the imbalance intact because Anet earns money on the transfers. Well untill fixed my friends and i stopped purchasing gems. And the group doing so is still growing!

Some disadvantages:
White swords low pop-servers (group of max 10 man in total in 1 BL map and 15 man if your lucky).

Takes you far longer to build since your group can carry far less supplies.

You wont win a skirmisch. Bad luck when you just cracked a gate adding speed to them since you did the work for them.

They have ways to scout and so many sups they build sentries like nothing so they still got eyes everywhere.

They get about double the loot for a quarter of the effort.

So the outnumbered buff should add whiteswords and a lot more in my opnion.

White swords removal only added another disadvantage over already extremly outbalanced servers

Maybe if they reverse how the story was instead of doing a small part every 10 levels. And when theres some sort of balance within WvW. It’s unplayable most of the times.

A cool so the devs know the balance is often 10 to 1 outnumbered for a lot of players

Nice forest!

One question though. Are you running a zerg buster on SFR side with a spy on a second account?

Remove white swords for all but the outnumbered two servers

Sneaky lemon, playing defensive is not rewarding. People won’t sit in a tower for an hour. Worse if you swap defense for like 5 minutes people start nagging.

Just purchase another game and start on such a server. You get 5 extra character slots to for like 20 euro’s this way. And free if its on 50% discount

Just stop purchasing gems untill they fixed it. Doing it for a few weeks now. If more join then I’m sure they get it fixed in no time!

Possible solutions
- Cap population per side and que them (you can expect ques when joining an overpopulated server)
- Expand EotM with a fourth color and give it to this one overpopulated server
- Run more instances with population caps and only start a new instance when the other teams have equal numbers.

An other solution is if players stop purchasing gems so the gain on this imbalance is reduced so much you actually will think about fixing it.

The balancing systems is badly broken and theres no way you havent noticed this months or maybe a year or more already. When can we expect this to be fixed finally instead of a lot of empty replies??

Or do you rather have us pay for a transfer instead? Seems like it…

So more win for the already huge blobs that keep trampling the smaller servers that for some reason are always paired together?

Just fix the balance issues!!!

Best solution is when we all stop buying gems! I stopped since last week, come join me!

If enough people stop purchasing gems then this issue is fixed in no time!!

Battlegroups would be an good solution on the short run. Eventually people will transfer to the “bigger battlegroup” So there should be some cap aswell per instance of for example eotm

I to think that mergin small servers in WvW to get equal numbers is the best solution. I’m sure anet has the statistics for it. Just based on the amount of WvW players.

Seriously? Your either fighting 1 to 10 or 10 to 1 How can you call this balance? And no I’m on blobwars this week!

God no, go back to WoW!

I have leveled my first character to 80 close before the update. The story really felt like progressing through a story. Doing the story now just doesn’t give the same experience. Please revert this supid change.

I’m leveling a Ranger now within the new changes. I must say the experience is very different now. It doesn’t feel like you progress through a story anymore. It was actually fun discovering a story quest was to difficult for your level and you had to wait to try it again.

I think Anet doesn’t understand that for a newbie its fun to find everything out. Thats part of playing an mmo.

Sparks they could have used to time to add content to. As a fairly new player myself they ruined the one thing that made this game far more great then the other mmo’s

This new patch honestly ruined leveling. I’m playing for a few months now and the game and leveling experience got me insta hooked. But now I’m leveling a second character after the patch it’s just not fun anymore. It can not in the slightiest way be compared to pre-patch experience.

How in the world could someone came up with this thinking it would improve the experience of new players. If it wasl ike this a few months back when i started i would probs have thought “just another mmo”
