Seems like SOR is having an interesting week with their own players not only turning on IRON on the forums but I hear other guilds as well. I’m told DIE guild held an hour long guild meeting while in spawn of TC border during NA prime time preventing any interested parties getting on and defending the map while we golem rushed towards bay. Thanks for that, who do we sent the gold to DIE?

I say let JQ have their easy win. Anyone who knows anything about NA league will know that title will be meaningless as Anet basically gave JQ the title. Plus more scrubs will bandwagon to JQ because of it too, so that can only be a good thing for the other T1 servers.
This sounds very interesting. Now you can actually play even if all the maps are queued, and you have the ability to test new changes to the game while being able to provide feedback. I wonder how you can be one of the so-called ‘accepted guilds’ though.
Unless they are going to have an access point just for this map for accepted guilds I would think one of the criteria would be you are on a T1 server.
I like the idea, just think it would have been nice to have it in place today for start of the leagues and that they werent restricting it to certain guilds. Why would any WvWvW guild want to be in overflow? Even a guild fielding 50 people would want to be in main WvWvW, so assuming some don’t get in at reset or whatever when there are big queues there might only ever be a handful of players in the new map?
Doesnt add up to me, maybe someone will explain it and when it will be available.

Guess this might be the map?
Another thing – in practice, how often are all maps queued – does this mean that if you queue for EB and it is full you could get put in to the Edge of the Mists when the actual BL maps aren’t full?
More details please Anet.

1. Population – lets have server independent alliances to balance matchups pls
2. Get rid of char bound WXP and power creep in trait lines
3. Rewards (and being able to get everything PVE players get just as easily in WvWvW)
I’m sure Anet have stats on average numbers through different times of the day, would it be too much to ask to have alliances in some way taking in to account the numbers and the times they are playing?
Otherwise you might just as well start everyone from 0 ranking. By the time the league comes around everyone will have moved and most of the current rankings will be worthless. Simply forget the league idea and put in the achievements, I think that is mainly what this update is for anyway – I doubt most will lost sleep over a custom finished. This is WvW after all, not PVE.
well, if they have all the numbers,why not try to implement alliances for the leagues. the leagues will be complete nonsense, because we all know the outcome of every match up.
having alliances, that balances the matchups for the league would actually make wvw competitive and bring fresh air. tier 1 servers are too stacked atm, so the only way out for all other tiers is balance population with alliances.
Exactly. But I imagine it might be too much like hard work, I fear the league is just a sticking plaster on WvW and a way of redressing the fact WvW players earn virtually no achievement points.
The devs view of WvW is far too narrow, they keep forcing it to be what their “vision” should be instead of what the players actually enjoy. It sucks all the fun out of it. Leagues will be meaningless unless it is fun and easy wins or getting roflstomped just isn’t fun.
Alliances could really make the whole thing fresh AND fun again, it is unlikely you would be allied with anyone you had been fighting recently in a normal matchup but even so – that might be fun too.
