Keep em locked til BG is a link.

This isn't about Mag or JQ

Important bit bolded for your pleasure

> @"ChronosCosmos.9450" said:

> Also why is Maguuma and FA still locked? JQ without a link shouldn't be locked **and BG the same.** Base population on population. Not playtime. A person from Maguuma shouldn't have to play 3-4 times more than players from other servers just to be competitive.

Week 1 : Whole rest of the game can't beat us!

Week 2 : Challenge Accepted

Week 3 : Best fights ever!

Week 4 : Commence #Blackout2018

Its all so confusing and scary.

Hold me

Is this a poor BG thread?

Flat Earth week

That'd be a pretty easy map to whip up one should think

I will and have, multiple times. Gw2 is a fallback. CU (beta in 6 weeks!) may well be the last uninstall. I've no time for multiple mmo's

> 2) Upgrade your PC?

Have you looked at memory prices lately?

250g is adequate for three big games. Playing more simultaneously is impractical and steam doesn't charge per gigabit.

So yeah, GW2 is directly competing for my time and money with other game genre's.

Death from above week.

Updrafts added, bloodstone fen glider skills added

I'd counter that the rub needs to go.

Rally only on stomp

First

Person

Shooter

> @"Zefrost.3425" said:

> Surprised no one has "got" this yet. Downstate does not correlate to outnumbered fights - target cap does.

.. No one? lol

No, it's a horse so dead and beaten we just don't talk about it any more.

Both are legs of the blob tripod, the third is combat speed.

But downstate and combat speed are addressable, the AoE cap has a reason to exist

Best change to date.

Been like a celebration since the moment it went live

EotM not affected

duel there

Permanent change please \o/

.. You mean EU?

You'd suggest EU players abandon their own server cluster to come nightcap on NA?

Or maybe everyone that can't fit on BG or JQ should go nightcap EU's servers?

Personally, I wish Anet had borrowed some space on CCP's servers in Iceland and the two were combined.

You seem to have referenced my server and I multiple times here... Maybe you're confused about the meaning of the words "you" and "your"

> @"coglin.1496" said:

> It appears you do not understand what the term strawman means when referring to an argument.

Indeed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

This argument isn't about me or my server. It's about a small minority of players dominating matchups.

Your logical fallacy I.E. the _strawman argument_ is ignoring the existence of primetime hours, when the majority of Arenanet's customers play. Instead you've attempted to frame this issue as a matter of personal choice. Yes, theoretically we can all play the game as many hours as we like. But in the real world each server has a peak playtime which is a small part of the day. Weighting primetime equally to hours when participation is much lower is not equality. It places much more power to effect matches in the hands of offprime players.

And when a system is supposedly based on equality of contribution, but ends up controlled by a small minority, that is minority rule.

Graduate score contribution based on how much of the overall match slots are populated.

Penalize high per-side disparities further

> You seem to be using phrases in completely inappropriate and incorrect ways here. There is no minority rule or minority oppression here. No one is stopping you from playing during those hours to compete against those you feel are oppressing you. Nothing is stopping anybody on your server from playing within that time. You are in no way being oppressed, You're simply trying to claim victim status as a means to demand a change that doesn't need to exist. Yourself and every player on your server makes a conscious decision not to participate in play time in off peak hours in which you could literally combat those you are complaining about.

Another strawman.

Mag isn't really a focal point of this discussion. If anything Magumma's population is _less_ concerned with points and winning than many people affected by this issue.

That's an understatement.

They're DECIDING NA matches.

This isn't a case of minority oppression, It is a case of minority _rule_. Certainly offpeak players should be able to contribute, but not control the majority's experience.
