Not sure how I feel about the new system thus far. I’m no long time player of wvw but I’ve enjoyed playing it since I began playing guild wars. I never understood what was wrong with what was originally in place but I guess some feel the need for new matchmaking or some type of balance.
I’ve been on Darkhaven, this past match up was one of the first in a long while that we hosted as a server. I personally didn’t mind how things used to be. Constantly commanders running around, communication. May not have been perfect always but it worked.
with that being said this beta week, I noticed the first night maps were beyond over populated. Lots of commanders running around but not much communication going on. As the days went on, there have been less and less communication. And even less commanders or people running closed tags. Lots of closed off-ness per say. Some friendly people, no communication like there was before. Makes me sad honestly. I know there used to be monthly relinks which personally I think worked. and that alliances won’t fully be like this but I feel like the since of “teamwork” went away this week. Hopefully this isn’t a view into the future of wvw. Trying to keep an open mind about things. But not sure how I felt about this week. Just my week experience, I know others had a better experience. But I like to run around during the day without my guild and this week it was a bit hard to do that
