    WvW League : hmmm

    What do you think about those new league? Sry cant link blog as Colin didnt finished it yet. We dont know much things except from official forums.

    Worth coming back for WvW ?

    Imo : Massive Lag on stacked realm + Insane queue time + BandWagon + Bad rewards ( finisher ) ?

    But could be soooo funny, at least you have real guild wars.

    What do you tink?

    They may or not be giving out unique new rewards for this new WvW league, could be new stuff or it could be useless stuff, we dont know yet. As to Massive lag on stacked realms. Well thats the players fault for being bandwagoners who only care about winning and not making a name for themselves.

    Theres plenty of servers that need WvW players, Just because u dont win doesnt mean you cant have a good experience.

    I say if you're experiencing a massive lagfest, turn down your WvW settings. The pipe is only so big, dude

    Otherwise, sounds like a fun new objective for WvW. In other words - BRING IT!!

    I don't get why WvW gets this, but tPvP doesn't while it's far more important for the PvP scene...

    It's a bad idea for WvWvW at this point and time. They need to improve skill lag and change the scoring rules. As of now, the league is going to lead to servers throwing matches to slide into the lower league, and people bandwaggoning onto servers that may have a chance at the 1st place reward.

    You will also have really lopsided matches that will discourage people from playing, in spite of any rewards offered. Players will cherry pick when they play to farm the meta achievements, skipping out on match-ups that will make it hard for them to achieve reward goals.

    Anet already knows what servers are good and which are bad and only 2 ish weeks away from the start of this thing more than likely already has the matchups set in stone. So there isnt going to be any losing on purpose to go to a lower league as you say. Also everyone plays everyone in their league at least once. Which means your going to get paired up with teams you can lose to unless of course your one of the top WvW servers.

    As for lopsided matches, yea thats going to happen. But players cannot access rewards unless they participate and participation is how you get the meta achives needed to access any reward your server gets once everything is said and done. So not participating or cherry picking their playtime is a stupid idea. Just play the game normally and find groups of players that want to get things done instead of being a sore loser.

    Same business as usual. Servers will play the same servers. Only change is that you will get stuff for winning and participating.

    I'm not too happy about it though because its going to cause huge server exoduses again like when they stopped free transfers. At least WvW guilds won't move around during the seasons as there would be not point once the season starts.

    Only a couple of servers can actually manipulate their scores enough to drop down. The other servers within the league will notice this and probably single that server out as well.

    This biggest blow to WvW in general will be will everyone tries to flock to the tier 1 servers.

    On the lag issue. The only time I get lag in WvW is during SM assaults.
