NA What team were you on during January 12-26? The name was forgettable, Thorn Watch maybe. What team were you on during January 26-February 2? Giant Rise or something equally forgettable. I am more used to the names of the teams we were up against because I saw them more and we don't really have a server identity. It could just be red blue green - server126 for all it matters. If there is a day of the week and time of day you usually play, what are they? For most of the restructuring 8 am to 11 pm pst. Friday Reset and Sat/Sun the longest block of time. Did your world restructuring matchups feel more or less balanced than your regular WvW Server matches? They feel more balanced in some ways. There are other teams and commanders on at the same times. There were more people on then there typically are. However, they also feel less balanced in other ways. I believe there were many people just wall running to leech rewards and even heard talk about them finding places to work the system and witnessed people jumping up walls in weird locations. Many times server was queued but it was 30 against two stacked servers and guild groups 50+ each. "We're queued where are all our people?" was something I often heard. I am not sure it was really balanced in terms of numbers. Nor was it balanced in terms of skill or guild groups, as often an organized wvw guild running meta builds + discord would just sit on objectives farming bags. Did you select a WvW Guild for the beta? Yes. That worked out well. However it was a little tricky, I remembered using a tab in the past but the tab didn't have anything on it because the selection was in a different place. Why still have that tab? Was your guild part of a larger alliance guild? We are a larger guild that WvW nightly, but some members picked more primary guilds and were on other teams. Were there usually commanders around during your normal playtime? There were some commanders. I got to meet a few guild groups that ran open tag. Some were really high quality others had heart, but it was hard to know what kind of group you were getting into. There were also closed/invisible tags and groups that would make some maps feel empty even though they were queued. It's hard to speak to those groups motivations when playing, there typically wasn't communication or response to communication. Which week felt most balanced and enjoyable for you? Both weeks felt balanced and enjoyable. However the 2nd week we were up against large and organized guilds and there didn't seem to be many guilds like that in our group. The ones that were there just ran when they learned they were outmatched in many fights. What part of world restructuring felt the most well executed? There were often many people on. What part of world restructuring feels like it has the most room for improvement? I think the biggest room for improvement is a system where people who want to play together can play together. With so many people on, other problems came up again like lag and full map queues on all maps. People running into walls, gaming the system, broken gliders in wvw causing crashes, disabled gliding were all areas that could be improved.

Same thing is happening to the group I was in. Out of three trials, 2 instances of just wiping with no damage on the log, the construct and sniper had even health. One instance of the mechanist construct remaining on the roof and not coming to the platform to fight.
