Guild Wars 2

What about people that can only play during night? They are not allowed to do wvwvw as those who play during the day?
And when do you define “night” knowing you got players from West eu to Russia?

What make you think ANet will change anything?

They may adapt the system a little; tweak the bonus/malus/score; but the simple fact that your opponent may not sleep/work when you do and so will conquer your undefended lands will remain possible. This 24h/7d open persistent WvWvW.

I’d rather see ANet fix first real issues like mass clipping, queue system, mono spell AoE feast and close server transfer…

You just don’t get it do you?
In every game there’s a winner and a looser.

As a server we’re just way better than you with a lot more presence 24h/24.

Now what sucks for you is that the gap between VS and FS/DESO is just way too big in terms of presence.

It’s sad for us too you know we kinda feel lonely at the top of EU

In every game there’s winner and a looser. There is nothing to argue. And VS are loosers every evening against FS (sometimes against even Deso) and winners every night against empty keeps and mobs.

You said there is nothing to argue but yet you do. Hmm VS loosers every evening…

Again you don’t get we (fr) may not have the same primetime as you. Because every evening GMT+1; I see we keep up an equal or better +X score than FS/Deso. But indeed every afternoon GMT +1, we suffer from some ru guilds primetime.

All canadian fr players move to american server, problem solved. This is a very huge problem Anet…do something!

Every night:

There is nearly no Canadians players on VS… so that won’t solve what you believe to be a problem.

Stealing tower/keeps…

No honor…

Is it our fault you can’t/don’t defend when we attack? No.

Man, wake up from your dream. This game proposes 24h/7d battles.

I understand the limitations in place, Mike, which is why I think you should focus on getting a few fairly simple things put in place while you focus on increasing the WvW cap and whatever else is on your plate to reduce queue times

What I would suggest is that you allow us access to a bit more information through the WvW interface. This also serves to make sure people don’t feel like they are “in the dark” when queuing for WvW.

This includes:

• An estimated timer and current position in the queue (You are 503 out of 975, ETA: 45m).
• A way to see the maps and current queues for all WvW maps through the WvW interface (B). It should be possible for us to see the status of the current maps so we have a better idea of where help is needed (instead of needing to ask someone in WvW to relay that for us). This part and the above would also serve to spread out the queues a bit as people will primarily queue for the maps with lower queues.
• Fix the queuing bug, obviously, but giving us access to a bit more information would also allow people to more easily notice if they’re bugged (“Why am I still in the same position was I was 30 minutes ago? Maybe my queue is bugged”).

I can see where you are coming from when you ask people to consider moving their guild to another server. You have to understand that people may be hesitant to do that, though, with all the influence and people they leave behind. Perhaps you guys could offer some sort of incentive?

• A way for them to bring over the upgrades they’ve earned on another server?

• An influence boost for guilds transferring?

It’s hard for guilds to convince members to leave behind a server they’ve worked hard on when their upgrades are already pretty high (and they may want to focus on WvW now, which might lead to them earning a bit less guild influence than they did while levelling).

Just a few thoughts.

Hugh +1.

As a pre-release VS player, I also wonder why you don’t block transfers to this server since a few days (in fact since people publicly admit to come only as we’re the top EU WvWvW server, which only keep increasing queue time and doesn’t help balancing…)

Is it like we’ll need to bump and ask every guild mates/rvr players to reply to this topic every hour until we obtain some explanations from ANet… ?

+1 for fixed and working queues that also show you your position in the queue.

At least ANet, post a status or acknowledge the issues.
