WvW should probably just be megaserver'd

[Ruufio.1496]

That would solve all population imbalance issues - and easily. Maybe even give a drop down menu with a list of the different server IPs so one can choose which server to play in. And just let people play in any server they want whenever they want with no time gate. And make edge of the mists worth playing again by implementing rewards.

 

Every map will become queue'd and you can enter less queue'd servers to play. Same with roamers who want less population - they can enter in non queue'd servers. Pretty sure everyone wins. And it's easy AF to do.

There is a megaserver in WvW: EotM.

For the past 8 years they could have done something good with that.

Here is ArenaNet's biggest challenge with WvW: To do something.

🤨

[Dawdler.8521]

A megaserver system that magically solve all population imbalance issues mean complete randomization with no team affiliation. Even with your suggested dropdown menu, it still needs to maintain maxed instances ie you should never be able to enter an already populated instance unless it's the only one that isnt full. No guild raids. No groups other than what's on the spot. Anyone leaving an instance would have to be filled in from elsewhere, by force. You cant duplicate people. That firebrand stab in your party? Poof gone. That commander you are following? Ah sorry instance #156 needed another player because it was 79vs80v80 so we randomly moved him there. Also he's on the enemy side now. You get two rank 10 pewpew rangers from the two enemy teams on your current instance to replace them instead.

Now you may say "people would still be in their teams and there would be restrictions and flexibility in numbers or something!". Yeah.  That's called current WvW. 

This perfect solution only grazes the surfaces of what WvW is and could in no way be practically implemented as WvW.

What's truly easy AF though? Just go into EoTM then.

"Anet, why can't I join my friends in WvW?"

Anet, must unlock in this beta.. all weapons from all classes - (ex: firebrand with bow 😆 etc. its a nice thing), for new builds but also for new perspectives of the game in WVW.

It can be seen that the damage has increased a little and it is much better, because I don't have to follow the enemy all over the map to be able to catch him because "others are beating me", gl & have fun!

Yea good luck. Haven't seen WvW this bad since it first came out and half the enemies were invisible on the map and that one wvw gamer was flying across the maps with the orb of power.

Don't forget the people dropping from the sky and dying on impact... that was always amusing 🤣.

The takes on OP's suggestion are all wrong.  If you read OP then it's clear you could play with your friends or your "fav" commander or whatever.  Just queue up for their instance.. none of this lockout and time lock junk.

 

Thumbs up OP 👍.
