There is no active system in place to prevent overstacking. Actually the system incentivises it.🤭 It isn't a system that makes much sense compared to what we had, but at least the future populations are balanced 3 hours before relinking since lot of people will transfer before relinking due to how pips work.

Well the links system wasn't suppose to last this long, it was a temporary solution to make servers seem full again. And players moving down to lower cost servers wasn't a bad thing, it was suppose to encouraged players from the over stacked servers to move, eventually, and many did particularly from BG. But again the system has gone on like 4 years overdue, people are tired or bored of servers, or wvw game play, they move to refresh content for themselves by finding new opponents to fight or ally with. Eventually we're going to get WR, so I honestly don't know why people are still trying to make a big deal over servers at this point, they're not going to put in anymore temporary fixes or changes, people will have to deal with it.

Sleepwalker.1398 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Meanwhile in TC, we have 10 ppl admiring the inner EBG keep and 5 running into walls at spawn, clocking up server hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enemies with multibox clients to see if they can remove the outmaned from u so they can get and increase the pk ratio :P by ganking the few players on your side. Some players/groups actually do this lol. Edited November 22, 2022 by Aeolus.3615 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corabelle.3254 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 They shouldn't have any intention to "address" Mag because it isn't a super server. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heibi.4251 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Basically no FULL server should ever get a link. Much of their success relies on the off-hour link servers. Would also solve a lot of the bandwagons attached to the FULL servers. And if no one transfers off they should keep the FULL status. Just because they tank by not playing doesn't mean they aren't still FULL(ANET falls for this so often). ANET should add more tiers as well so they don't stack 3 server together which would create a queue nightmare(has happened before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the system is not fit for purpose when the last time Gandara tanked after months with no link there were 2 teams with Full+Full servers iirc. And Gandara still got no link after that.

But the Full servers went from 2 to 8 or so. At this point I would make no assumption on how they calculate population and treshholds because it openly makes no sense. I do agree that 'small' link servers are instrumental to success and I would also say they are not that small actually.

Well, BG and MAG do it often and always get links. Not sure how ANET handles the EU servers. Do they mix language servers with other ones? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do mix, except for Baruch Bay, nobody knows why they play by different rules, they get to greatly outnumber every other EU server and stay not full (and with no link). For some reason mixing English, French and Germans servers is ok, but not Spanish. Hordes of spanish speaking players from North, Central and South America also play on this server. The NA system is designed so that all have links, the EU system somehow has BB and 2 unlucky servers which get no link for 2 months. It's entirely possible they never eliminated T5 in EU because of BB. Needless to say all linkless servers get stuck in T5 for the duration of the linking period with 1 going back to T4 every 2 weeks. So, in essence, in NA you tank to get a more enjoyable match the following week, in EU you tank so that you don't have to spend 2 months with no link (or 6-8 months sometimes).
