Hello,
I’m currently on Kaineng and having a hard time finding any WvW activity or any WvW guilds and wondering if I should transfer servers or just wait for alliances. Does anyone know when they are coming?
Ideally would like to avoid the cost of transferring.
Thanks
External link →I'd say you're safe to transfer, especially if WvW is a mode you spend a lot of time in. World transfers will eventually be phased out, but we'll give plenty of advanced notice when that time comes.
Even when World Restructuring betas kick back into gear, we'll alternate between increasingly longer betas and then revert back to World Linking in between. Plenty of opportunity for a world transfer to be worthwhile before World Restructuring is fully released.
Considering all they got from 3 weeks of beta is "there's a queue bug", yeah it's not coming any time soon.
I understand the frustration in this comment, but to be clear, we learned a ton from the first three betas - more than just the queue issue.
The queue bug existed prior to the World Restructuring betas, but it's exacerbated during World Restructuring tests and I've asked the team to make progress on resolving it before we try another live test. Waiting an hour in a 100+ deep queue only to be forced to the back of the line is a really awful experience. It doesn't happen to everyone - but it happens frequently enough to be a blocking issue.
Also, I just want to note that progress on World Restructuring, the dreaded queue issue, and other WvW initiatives are all happening in parallel. We touched on the team's priorities in late April, and we're due for another update soon. https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/arenanet-studio-update-april-2022/
well they've been talking about alliances for 4/ 5 years now so I think it is. Besides, there's no point in waiting for steam release if you want to play the game, more than likely it's gonna be on the same servers so no point in waiting.
To clarify, World Restructuring hasn't been actively developed since its original announcement in 2018. Previous studio leadership deprioritized the project shortly after it was announced. We put a team back on it last year. The idea has existed for 4+ years, but meaningful progress has mostly happened over the last year.
We'd appreciate some kind of a post acknowledging the betas took place, saying there will be more of those kinds of events in the future (like not even a specific timeline, "before December" is way better than "we're working on it" for 5 years), and maybe some kind of neat infographic - how many accounts took active part, how many guilds, how many worlds were created.
Noted. Also, copy/pasting a note I made elsewhere in this thread:

It is to me. :)
