XenesisII.1540 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Uptick for second week in a row, did the anet balance threads encourage this? FA back to full. Mag up from medium to high. JQ up from high to very high. Gandara down from full to very high. Whiteside ridge up from very high to full. Riverside up from high to very high. ![](https://i.imgur.com/aJQlJ4k.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWI.4127 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I think it's just that BG is playing much less now, and they use BG as a measuring stick to determine "full" threshold. So the threshold for full is now lower. Just my guess though, I don't know exactly how they determine these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That only explains for Full, not all the other thresholds below it, they all don't need to be constantly moved like a yoyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liston.9708 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 More likely scenario is some mediums lost people to fa JQ etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimator.3589 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I don't know that I trust Anet's visible metrics at all. Dead empty worlds are listed at medium, and so are worlds like FC, which is definitely not empty. Obviously activity varies a great deal between timezones but still...different servers with the same listed populations are dramatically different with actual populations. It would be far more honest if they ever actually listed servers as low population. As for BG, they're just hibergating trying to open again. The usual manipulation. Anet will cave, open BG, and suddenly they'll be at the top of T1 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retconned.9358 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 > @"Liston.9708" said: > More likely scenario is some mediums lost people to fa JQ etc. JQ went from link server status to very high in a couple weeks. It's just dumb. At least the stacked servers get to face off next week, then everyone can start throwing to try to stay out of t1 as usual.

So you come across 20 people by yourself and think you are done for but then your target limit has killed 5 of them instantly. So then you end up killing them all when all BG had to do was teach them about armor and trinkets which they only gave out weapons to press 1 with. Then they get on forums because they died saying thief or whatever other class killed them needs a nerf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XenesisII.1540 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Indeed a big jump in NA population. Anvil rock, Borlis pass, Maguuma, all jump from high to very high. Mag jumped from med to very high in two weeks, new bandwagon? sleeper agents? NSP HoD SBI from medium to high. On EU only Gandara moves from very high to full. ![](https://i.imgur.com/mcer6pb.jpg "") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a jump in NA population but a decline in BG's pop which is what they use as a measuring stick for wvw server populations. If BG is the only full server and is last place in every time zone pop except SEA then it would make people scratch their heads as to why other servers are much lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetoII.3782 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Or maybe they dialed the thresholds down so 60% of the servers weren't medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSlayer.1087 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Does ANET even look at the actual WvW population when they create these "teams"? Why is Maguuma and SBI together? This month is such a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is Maguuma and SBI together? This month is such a waste. I think it would help if they cut down the amount of time servers are linked. Cut the 8 week period in half to 4 weeks, or even 2 weeks. I'm contemplating giving the game a break or quitting as I'm not looking forward to getting stuck in T1 versus the BP/FC/BG mega-bandwagon for the next month and a half. It's weird because the JQ/HoD link actually has the most people playing I've seen in a LONG time, but we are still massively outnumbered and outskilled. Only other match I've been in that was this outnumbered was when Anet screwed up and gave that host 3 links by mistake. It's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neven.3785 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Mags population jump was CL deciding to make Maguuma its home. SBI's population jump was a couple SEA groups choosing to make SBI their new home after BG was no longer locking them in the higher tiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
