Hi!

Just when I read the new blogpost where WvW was mentioned, as well as the already known fact, that the megaserver system will come to the whole game eventually, just how are WvW buffs handled then?

Will they be based on the population of a specific server on one map, or will they count for people from different servers based on their homeworlds WvW achievements? Or will they disappear completely?

For example, if you play on Riverside and you come to an overflow or guest elswhere, your WvW buffs are gone. If you’re back home, your buffs are back as well.
So if the megaserver system is launched, and you move to queensdale to do the champion train. Will you only have the WvW buffs if you’re on a map copie that has a majority of Riverside players, or will they even stay if you happen to find yourself on a map with… let’s say a majority of Elona Reach players?

I think that question might be essential, especially for players who spend a lot time on WvW.

Hello!

WvW bonuses belonging to your Home World are applied to your character when you are in a MegaServer map. It is also possible for you to see your world’s WvW statistics and queues in those maps.

There are no situation in which you would benefit from another World’s bonuses. You need to earn your benefits.
