I'd love to do more WvW with my guild but since not everyone in my guild is on my server (my server was closed for ages, though it's opened now), and since I don't like leaving people out, we don't WvW as a guild. When this goes into effect, I can start running WvW events with MY community. The way WvW is structured right now actively prevents me from enjoying it. I either have to join a WvW guild and play when they want, how they want, or I can take my own guild in, and leave a third of the people out of events. Neither option appeals to me. > > > > The new system allows plenty of ways to keep playing with people you like. And you know, a different community is not the same as not having a community.

Threather.9354 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 You already have people you like playing with which you can keep. By changing the people you dont like playing with, you can meet more people who you like playing with. Just make sure alliance leader/officers are reasonable when letting people in and not letting every "i wanna join but will quit game or turn salty after a week" in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People not liked don't get to be part of the alliances? Real nice. Doesn't anyone feel ashamed anymore? Not sure how that was mean. If someone doesn't run with people consistently, then the opportunity to run with new people every 8 weeks should be refreshing. If someone gets a rep in the first pairing, they likely would welcome an opportunity to work with different people in the next pairing. This gives some people a clean slate.

Mysticjedi.6053 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I am looking forwaed to the change. Fighting for guild pride is much more personal meaningful to me than server pride. I think we may see more commanders, different tatics, and stronger competion. If you want to make sure you and roaming buddies stay together either friend them or create a guild together.

Not sure it's a good idea overall since pve has felt like an empty experience to me since mega server was introduced. I've posted in the "Restructuring" thread, but I had to let you know there are many of us feel the same way. We will be tossed into faceless blobs who shout down those who were trusted in our servers by our friends. It's EOTM 2.0 with pips. A totally disgusting and money grubbing move by Anet rather than giving us the game we were given at the beginning with tournaments and a chance to build a community.

If a net wants to make all wvw totally random (no guild alliances) that would be totally fun.

Jumpin Lumpix.6108 Posted February 5, 2018 Author Share Posted February 5, 2018 It's pretty straightforward, the new system is going to stack zergs of organized guilds vs single players who are solo. The matchups will become lopsided because the first thing they will do is figure out how to get all organized alliances on the same server/team color. The system caters to guilds and not solo players, as in there are mechanics which are going to reserve spots for alliance members on teams, but not solo players. Wvw will now be a slew of prideful guilds which stomp solo players who don't even have a server or any semblance of pride or identity. The experience will become hollow and I think it will ruin a lot of the motivation to play wvw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasp Sabreblade.5421 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I really like the idea of alliances/guilds being the focal point in WvW, instead of the server. The only possible complaint I could have is getting to know new commanders and how they operate. Like now, I know which commander I should follow and listen to, because they seem to do a good job. Whereas, there are commanders I stay away from, because they are horrible at commanding, and tend to be more like Rurik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system will place organized alliances + randoms in one world against another world with a similar composition. It will *not* place 4 huge organized alliances on one world against a world full of random pugs. Stop spreading fear based on duplicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joining a guild isn't the answer as it defeats the purpose and agenda behind playing solo. Forcing solo players to group up in order to have some semblance of balance isn't a good idea.

The experience will become hollow and I think it will ruin a lot of the motivation to play wvw. ah, no. What will happen is that alliances stacked with organized guilds will be paired with low play hour players and guilds to balance the total play hours for a world. The stacked alliances would be more likely to be NOT paired together because there wouldn't be a balance in play hours between worlds. The successful alliances will be the ones that work with their unaligned guilds and solo players. An exclusive alliance will soon find that they don't have enough players to compete with the alliances that are inclusive and either change their ways or drop in tiers. Once an exclusive alliance drops tiers they will break apart because of infighting and all you'd have left are alliances that are inclusive. Inclusive alliances will eventually reach max cap and break up into smaller alliances that can once again grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In either case they get what they deserve. Wasn't aware that solo players needed to be punished lol. I think all guilds should be banned that would be my definition of getting what they deserve, why not make wvw 100% random with no guilds or alliance, failure to comply with that would be people being stubborn and if they are upset with that, then they are getting what they deserve.

You're both exaggerating to make a point. No one "deserves" to get stomped because they choose to roam and it's unlikely that solitary players are going to just up & quit entirely because the system changed. Everyone is going to have to adapt to the new system and, as with any major upheaval, some types of players will need to adapt less and some will need to do more. Some will prefer the new system and some won't. None of that, by itself, is evidence of whether the system does what it's designed to do or whether it's good for the game or not. The new system obviously favors people in organized guilds, but then again, so did the old system. The old system benefited those who stacked on the same server and created issues for those who didn't swap (especially if they were unlucky enough to have accidentally chosen a world that ended up not suiting their preferences). The old system allowed for unaffiliated players to join a cause (the world) for long periods of time; the new system makes it harder for that particular niche. The old system made it difficult for PvE-focused guilds to do any WvW together; the new system makes that easy. Until the system is finalized, it's going to be difficult to predict exactly how much this is going to affect us. All we know for sure, is that it's going to mix things up a lot. And that is, after all, something that nearly all WvW fans have been asking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The matchups will become lopsided because the first thing they will do is figure out how to get all organized alliances on the same server/team color. The system caters to guilds and not solo players, as in there are mechanics which are going to reserve spots for alliance members on teams, but not solo players. Wvw will now be a slew of prideful guilds which stomp solo players who don't even have a server or any semblance of pride or identity. The experience will become hollow and I think it will ruin a lot of the motivation to play wvw. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Solo players deserve to get stomped if they refuse to join guilds. If things happen as you predict then these solo players will presumably try to join guilds so they stop getting stomped. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Or solo players could quit, and then guilds will have no new members and nobody to really fight against. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Sounds like a lot of fun, conform to some guys made up rules or get trounced, exactly my point, not a very good update to wvw. > > > > > > > > > > > > Or they could join a guild.

Joining a guild isn't the answer as it defeats the purpose and agenda behind playing solo. Forcing solo players to group up in order to have some semblance of balance isn't a good idea. > > > > > > > > If they're too stubborn to join a guild then they get what they deserve. I don't actually think playing solo will be that bad tbh I think you're being overly dramatic as usual. > > > > > > Why are you equating playing solo as being stubborn and people in need of punishment and getting what they deserve? > > > > Because if, as you claim, it's not going to be possible to have a good time playing solo after the restructuring then people who continue to refuse to join a guild are either masochistic or just incredibly stubborn. In either case they get what they deserve. > > Wasn't aware that solo players needed to be punished lol. I think all guilds should be banned that would be my definition of getting what they deserve, why not make wvw 100% random with no guilds or alliance, failure to comply with that would be people being stubborn and if they are upset with that, then they are getting what they deserve. So campaign to have guilds banned. Doesn't look like Anet is going in that direction though so I guess people will just have to join guilds if playing solo is terrible or quit the game if they're too stubborn to join a guild.

Instead it will be replaced with random players who most likely will not speak to one another and commanders who are less friendly since they are dealing with a never ending supply of random pugs whom in 8 weeks they probably won't ever see again. > > It just feels like its going to gut the wvw community in exchange for some form of balancing. Not sure it's a good idea overall since pve has felt like an empty experience to me since mega server was introduced. Won't be more "hollow" than what we have now: our servers are full of trolls, spies and so on, it's not some clean state of the original worlds, those still playing after 5 years on the same server are an extreme minority. In an alliance at least you will be able to pick with whom to pay and set limits on what is tolerated, same in a guild, and both of these groups are kept or moved together. There will be a meaning and you finally can be "proud" being part of a group, unlike the current state on the servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
