ArenaNet Staff Cal Cohen.2358 Posted December 12, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hi Everyone,Due to the holidays we’re going to delay the next iteration of world linking until the end of January. At that point we’ll resume the standard cadence of re-linking every two months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonRise.7650 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 They messed up NA relinks last year, so it's understandable, but I know many people are getting bored with T1 EU and how stacked Blacktide is compared to other links even though it's classified as Medium, so another month is bleh.

Mini Crinny.6190 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 On stream it was mentioned that having it every 2 months from january would avoid the problem of doing it around Christmas, If alliances were coming out next year then this woudn't be a problem, so I guess that this sort of means no alliance update next year?

morrolan.9608 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 End of January as opposed to a week delay? That is unnaceptable to those of us stuck with a bad link, again you lose players over decisions like this. In previous years the delay has been a week for christmas why is this year different?

MedievalThings.5417 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Well, that is the first decent news we've had. It beats them moving us from tier 3 or 4 (where TC should be) up to tier 1 because they can't do math and use 3 year old numbers at relink. Every relink it's the same thing. They put us in T1 or 2 where we don't have the numbers or coverage to compete, and then it takes 4-7 weeks to finally get where we should be, and boom, they drop us back in T1.

Rockal.5468 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 would be better to do it tommorow, current EU links are so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftFootpaws.9134 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Try relinking every matchup instead of every few months so that people don't get stuck in bad links forever? Two months is already just a massive amount of time in the gaming world, most AAA games don't even last that long for their entire run, but you want people to stick around for a single game mode for a seven-year-old game in the hopes that next time, it'll be better (only to get worse again).I'm the last person to complain about anything but please rethink your whole strategy for WvW.

PeerlessArch.6547 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Yeah -- Re-link every week or 2 weeks even. That will stop the server hoppers. But then again..that means no gem sales... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspirine.6852 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Stuck with crappy links for a month longer. Got it.Any chance Anet will stop transferring right after relink, for a few weeks at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leaa.2943 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Remove links, let under populated links have a free move to a server of their choice, with less servers more poulation in EU YAY and now you can add tournaments. I never get why this was not done long ago when we realised that links are shit for WvW and Arena Net said when they were adding them that if it does not work we can remove them. Yes please do, and remove the lowest servers, there are too many of them and too few players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltzenger.2467 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Please Cal, reconsider this, some links are in a really bad shape, this is not a good time to this kind of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neven.3785 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Thank you for not relinking during the holiday again. Hope people remember that last time they relinked during the holiday it bugged out and there was a 4 server pairing, meanwhile the anet representative argued with people on the forums that there was nothing wrong without even checking for themselves. That was the worst pairing i've been in, as a server in the 4 person linking, i never bothered logging in after reset because we owned everything on every map non stop.

Tarragon.4302 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 i dont really understand why you guys would wait an entire month instead of just doing it like a week earlier. waiting a month is just going to make more people not play the game because they're stuck in boring and bad matchups. NA prime in t1 right now is just people losing 1 fight then sitting in their keep and just using siege. its so unbelievably boring to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
