I think this is our forum troll on an alt account or one of his 100's of imaginary friends.

That's why I added the math part, lol. You have to add some exaggeration.

8 years of not addressing the issues isn't either.

3 years after the HoT debacle and we still don't have one. Let's see if we can do the math on a time frame, lol.

50 roamers? Are you all on the same map/different maps and just use it for chat?

I vote for the 3rd option too...

> Exotic is totally competitive. I have full ascended with infusions on one account and the exotics from the reward tracks on another. Not a huge amount of difference in performance . Most fight guilds I've been in are fine with exotics if you can show you know how to fight. The cool thing about WvW is that gear won't carry a player.
This... I have 4 Ascended pieces, 2 Legendary, Legendary weaps and Ascended trinkets all with infusions. I really look good.
They will not keep you alive much longer than Exotic if you don't have situational awareness!!!

> Just for clarification: Is this just locked to WvW, or will it affect every other map in the game? So, if this system was a thing in the Crystal Oasis, would it have World 1, World 2 and World 3? And players from World 3 couldn't join World 1 if it had 90%+ capacity?
Yes for the WvW part, you will still have the random Megaserver hickups with multiple instances. You will not have any color association in PvE. There will be some changes as to how you are priortized relative to guilds/party/friends.
I can be in a squad, zone in an be on an entirely different instance and have to select join hoping it's not full. The pains of Megaserver.

> What if each server had a guild made exclusively to preserve server militia? Just a SoS Freelancer guild, a HoD freelancer guild, etc.? You could get sorted into the same world as your regular cast of characters because of the guild, but you wouldn't need to put up with a serious guild's requirements, or get stuck trailing along after a guild leader's plans. You could all just go on with your bad roaming selves. You would still get moved from place to place, but at least you would all move together.
That is pretty much what you need to do to remain associated. You will also need to create an alliance and have those guilds join it. The biggest issue depending on the amount of the players is going to be the 500-1000 cap.
This is set to prevent stacking but has some drawbacks in certain circumstances and can change depending on responses.

So you want to PvD faster?

That's my point. Why would that range be too low? When the worlds will still be populated with non alliance guilds and random players to fill the remaining spots.
It's all still in it's infancy.

It should in their figure for balance. So to me in essence it would be foolish to create an alliance that on covers one particular time zone.

McKenna said EotM will remain the same. The new worlds will be based on the same colors.

You will then truly be a part of either a North America(NA) Megaserver or European Union(EU) Megaserver. Only for WvW does the criteria of language, amount of time participating, etc., come into play...whether the current mechanics of how Megaservers work will stay in place or not no one has said, but, if they are actually able to have it use language as a criteria for WvW there's nothing saying they can't improve the use of that criteria for PvE. Your "world" status would now show as North America or European Union in PvE maps IF the World Restructuring system ends up coming to fruition, but remember, it will only be implemented if it works like how ArenaNet wants it to work.

> I'd love some clarification on that too. Does this mean you get dumped into whatever map the system chooses instead of opting for, say, Alpine or Desert, etc.? On a meta-level, I really don't get how the system works. If so, that's going to royally stink. Some of the maps are the antithesis of fun.

> Not crazy about this push toward guilds, either. I'm a casual roamer. My only guild is my personal one. I don't like dealing with massive obligations, schedules, or anything else, which is why I exclusively solo in this game. I'll be glad to declare my guild a WvW one if I have to-- but, yeah. This sounds like choice and agency are getting thrown out the window in favor of matchmaking and convenience for the hardcore players. Honestly, that trend is getting tiresome.
As far as the WvW map that will probably stay as is on the UI. Alliances, guilds and unaffiliated are only used for the World creation.

You have to account for map cap in that figure.

When was the last time you saw 500-1000 players in WvW?
Edit: ON ONE SIDE!!!

My biggest concern is "Are we going to get a chance to sample this or are you going to just flip the switch and deal with it?"

Maybe start another thread with that topic and not derail this one.

I think they were countering you with removing PvE world completion to craft a Legendary. Which is in your statement that about playing preferred game mode.

I'm pretty sure they are going to have to follow the rules like everyone else.

He said both characters. I wonder if he's talking about the Endurance bar?

From the wiki:
Edge of the Mists serves as a testing ground for the new features that may be introduced to core WvW, and already provides a new style of gameplay on the floating islands
I'm not advocating for the revitalization of EotM but for one of it's intended purpose. The rewards suggested by OP is definitely a No Go. Maybe some AP's for participating.
After what, 3 years I don't think we will see any new maps. They can take it down when not active and put it back up when they want to test something.
There have been a lot of suggestions that would fall into the use of the map. Inaction and the silence is the worst part of this mode.

When discussing WvW please state what server you are on.

I did not specify about you, players in general.
Here's another that wants to drive players out.
WvW gear advantage
