Blackgate and Northern Shiverpeaks? You've got to be kidding me. Blackgate gaming the system again.

phreeak.1023

what a joke. RS and Vabbi again. I quit this game for 2 month.

Vabbi managed to had 2 Pubs in 2 Month and was dead the rest of the time. only active in blaming others or clouding.

Vizu.7380

Why is RoS doomed?

CrimsonNeonite.1048

Notice how many of the links stayed the same and Gandara got linked with Fort Ranik, for how many times already?

Elona also got unlinked, even though they've been stuck between T4-T5.

Not sure why Deso couldn't stay with Arborstone either, if most of the other links stayed the same, cause we lack guilds and open tags now, even when they lead in French most of the time.

It looks like all that's left on wsr is roamers, ppters and two guilds left, not sure we need more ppt, but we need more open tags for sure.

Kitsune.4280

AG + RoS

brogue.4926

Please could you try again? This is obviously incorrect.

pieddroit.2374

This can't be right.. BG / CD link been outnumbered even in prime time and now CD is link with high server..

Zeffreeh.2150

omg Aurora Glade (EN), Ruins of Surmia (EN) WHY???

Novahh.7426

i cant wait to get ran over a lot

Insider.3564

ohman na super wieder vabbi danke Arenanet

Rukasu.3097

You gotta be kidding me, again with Riverside??

You guys are off your heads. Why the hell would you put Eredon Terrace who just came off the BG band wagon last relinks, and Crystal Desert the server that the band wagon is currently on together? You clearly have no clue what happens in your own game.

ya right... it's madness... do they even know their game?

brogue.4926

Relinking designed to promote guild migrations, they know their game sadly.

Gotejjeken.1267

I thought the ET/DH pairing was weird...but DH/GoM? In the words of Onyx the Fortuitous...'I dunno'

FalconRN.6219

why anet hates YB that much, we are the world hoster possible server and always get a medium server as a pair.

Samug.6512

Piken Square, full server stuck in T1 occasionally dropping to T2...
GETS A LINK?! IS THIS A JOKE?
Not only any link, Blacktide. Blacktide, which we get like 80% of the time there's a relink.
Meanwhile servers who were linked and struggled to climb up, now get unlinked and left alone.
I. Do. Not. Understand. Those. Choices.

(Seriously, you'd make more money leaving us alone and letting us drop so people transfer off.)

Endza.9547

This is like a forced marriage ! Why twice the same link? Most AG players are upset to play with ROS, including my guild members. What you have done here is not fair at all.

Vallun.2071

i like these relinks, finally i can stop being in perma zerg tier

retsuya.4708

RIP FA GFG

Luthan.5236

Lol. This is going to be fun. I played release until end 2013 on underworld. And then when I came back in 2019 I didn't immediately start with WvW again. Played starting last year again I think. Seemed we were stronger. At first it depended on the link. But with the previous 2-3 links always in T1. (And back then in 2013 one of the weakest servers.)

Let's see how we get pwned (I guess) without the link. But I prefer it that way. T1 had gotten a bit boring I think.

LAX.9032

Is this some early april fools joke? Elona without any linking partner? At least give us any minor Server, for example Vaabi maybe?!

BG + NSP -> Will have around the clock coverage with two large servers that are both PPT focused.
HOD + SBI -> This one has happened before, but both are extremely SEA heavy. They'll be Q'ing every map off hours.
AR + BP -> Fight stacked pairing, although I believe BP has lost some guilds. This will be a nightmare to roam against.

Usually I find only one or two of the pairings each relink is particularly stacked or very heavy in one timezone. It's unavoidable so I don't see it as a problem if one or two pairings are strong for the duration of the link. This time though, there are 3 pairings that are pretty yikes, and Mag + SF is questionable as Mag absolutely hates SF.

I'm not going to complain about it because it is what it is and everyone will shuffle around anyway, but this is definitely the worst of the relinks I've seen in quite a while.

Adzekul.3104

Wow, the crying on UW team chat is absolutely deafening. Overpopulated for months and now unlinked. Everyone is looking for someone to blame. How sad.

HOD SBI has like kekW amounts of sea you okay bro?, Half of Ar's guild left and if anything bp got bigger?!?!?!?! Edit: Can I get the name of whatever you're on I NEEDDDDD ITT

That's because BG has a massive SEA population and not that much during other times. But yeah, gonna be a rough few months for CD since you'll have a bunch of people leaving to BG's next link. System is so broken.

Skara.7912

I'm sorry Anet, but maybe it's time to start at least re-linking some servers? Just for fun you know

jul.7602

Mag NA overstacked. Appearently IV/CL/TIE/TBT was enough dominate NA. Now it will be IV/CL/TIE/TBT+TT/VR/Rx/CBO/QWOP/VOID/EVIL. GL

aspirine.6852

DZ + FoW seems a bit much perhaps?

Sbi is an na fight server but nice try. I'm an officer in one of the biggest sbi guilds. We have 2 small ocx/sea guilds.

Nimon.7840

i see. putting as much effort into relinking as they do for balance changes - sorry, even though i know you are working on the expansion, this is extremely disappointing

SBI, "fight" server. Right, lmao.

Fighting for validity.

SBI is a fight server? With currently barely a 1.0 kdr vs. SOR / TC & DB / KN.... wut?

I'm sure Kaineng will bail us out. You know, all six of them.

Good thing the feeling is mutual.

HoD got about no SEA but SBI should have just enough to make it a nice link. ANET did a good job there
And yeah AR+BP are 2 fighting servers linked together, that will be interesting to watch. Both servers got many tankers so we'll see what happen but surely their kdr will be amazing!

EDIT: Whoops, just checked AR kdr this week, not good as usual so I might be wrong!

Wow. Gonna be a long, dark 8 weeks on ye olde Yak's Bend... and then we end up getting hosting (and having fun) again. The cycle continues. Huzzah!

I will stop playing wvw for 3 months and we get a new link i will not spend 1 minute playing for ros. ruins of surmia !!!! u bear ur name, ruins u were, ruins u will remain

aspirine.6852

For EU this is one of the worst relinks I have ever seen. Congrats on that..

Grand Marshal.4098

I personally don't mind FSP with Vizunah again tbh. After 2 months linked together, we flow more effectively. Now if veterans from FSP are not satisfied, not my problem and frankly, no gonna care.

And Riverside, hibernating for many weeks it seems, suddenly wakes up and has people log in to play WvW. What a strange (imaginary) world we live in.

Maybe 2 months more could teach Vizunah scouts to talk sense instead of going "p1" or "p2" all the time, but I have doubts.

Yeah that boat sailed a long time ago I suppose lmao. At least we now know what "[choose color] bus" means.

Galmac.4680

No link for Elona???? Hard two months on the last place...

Luis.4917

i think the devs need to start playing themselves so they can see the relinks why someof hem makes no sense
