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 playThis has to be false. According to the forums only the evil empire in NA does such... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been assumed (maybe incorrectly) that there would be periods of world creation which would group some alliances together along with non allied guilds and players every so often. I am not sure if they said 8ish weeks, but the timeline is in place from the linking periods so that COULD be a logical timeframe for ‘world creation’. So, a similar process to now where servers are re linked may be on tap with ‘world creation’ or ‘linking’ alliances together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zengara.8301 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Prooooobably one of the worst times to actually wait for the next re-link since re-link was made. Maybe A-Net missed out on all the drama? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again..that means no gem sales...Yeah, because all the crap they put in the Black Lion Store doesn't sell at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klypto.1703 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The status of wvw right now its pretty much not even a game mode anymore its just a place where the afk, leechers, and bots go to get free rewards. I'm pretty sure a lot of players would love 4 servers against them versus dealing with bots in wvw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the feedback EVERY link is bad so what's the difference.Some, not all but some links are bad right after relinking since people just transfer off them the same weekend they get relinked :/ And this is quite the opposite of what relinking is about.

gloflop.3510 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 A bit related: I noticed that the servers are more and more often getting a status of "high", "very high" and "full". However, my subjective experience and the queues for reset tell me that the servers are rather losing members than gaining. My impression is that the status is manually set higher. My interpretation is that it is an introduction of the alliances through the backdoor. A "server" could serve as an alliance and the introduction of alliances would become obsolet. Is my impression correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterman.1530 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Lol. Oh man. How difficult is it to not stack 1 or 2 servers with too many people? I mean, it's got to be some pretty basic math. Our current tier is ridiculous. I very rarely have to repair armor since we are usually outnumbered on more than one BL at a time, so I guess...upside? How hard is relinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is my impression correct?The linking process is.My thoughts on what you are noting: they have lowered the ‘full’ threshold for two purposes. One is to keep the server population from reflecting exactly how low it is. (They don’t want all the servers to show high or medium..) And two, it keeps the evil empire from actually opening or getting a link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adzekul.3104 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I agree that a relink between Christmas and New Year's is just silly. But why not relink on Dec 20th and then again either end of Jan or end of March? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svarty.8019 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I would appreciate it if the developers could kindly consider doing the relink before Christmas rather than waiting until the END OF FOREVER AWAY(!) - Please could you ask the decision-maker-in-chief to take another look at this?

Sugar Min.5834 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 @Hannelore.8153 said: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.ANet cannot rethink their strategy for WvW because they have none for now, and now as in the next six months to a year at least.I still see many players here still clinging onto their tiny string of hope and asking ANet when Alliance is coming and even believing that there will be a 3rd expansion. Well, for the past one year plus, what is their response to our queries on progresses in restructured WvW? None. Not even a word to address our concerns and tons of queries. Is this not clear enough to indicate what is going to happen in the future? They have nothing for us players except for LWS, that lagged and crashed the game more and more often with each patch. As if these are not enough to drive more players away, they continue to come up with bigger and bigger NERF patches every few months, making our dps skills weak and support skills ineffective. And, of course we will still have their regular Gemstore item updates, but even that they can't do well anymore. Look at the recent new items... bleh.Developers are being kicked out, many left on their on accord, and with the remaining team's total oblivious attitude towards players queries and concerns, do you guys really still expect more from this game? Well, Merry Xmas all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
