Guild Wars 2

Fellow Fort Aspenwooders… Why do we continue to fail so heavily at doing killing this Wurm? It’s sad to see a server that sits high on the population ranks, does fairly well in WvW, but yet can’t fill the map for the Wurm event.

There’s no one trying to organize things. We can barely do all 3 escort missions without a failure. It’s disheartening. It really makes a player like myself feel the need to join up with TTS or quest to a server that wants to accomplish this.

We shouldn’t be satisfied with trying to kill just ONE wurm head so that an achievement can be made. That’s very sad, honestly.

Rally the troops Fort Aspenwood! Let’s get some coordination and some Wurm kills. WE CAN DO IT!

If you build it, they will come

maybe

From what I’ve seen while guesting to many different servers this is the big difference between servers that can do it and ones that can’t – organisation.

Servers that can do it have consistent, organised groups. The same people are there for multiple fights (not necessarily in a row) with the same commanders, all working together to coordinate the fight. Ideally all/most the people involved are on TS too.

Servers that can’t do it are trying the event with whoever shows up going to whichever wurm they feel like fighting and doing whatever part of the fight they feel like when they get there. Which often leads to things like cobalt being overwhelmed with champions because everyone wanted to run kegs instead.

We could help you if our guild is up to it but it might be a while b/c we just killed it

Yeah. It’s generally a mess when I show up on my native server (Fort Aspenwood) and it’s a ghost town. There may be about 70 people there to do the event. Like I said though, they seem to be satisfied with just barely doing the escort event and then mobbing up on 1 specific wurm for the achievement.

I’ve done countless attempts with TTS. The coordination and the same commanders leading the troops is a recipe for success. I’ve watched a few videos of Deso doing it as well. I commend everyone who can get the amount of people together and coordinated for this.

I’d attempt to coordinate it myself with my guild (LUST), but we can’t field 150 people into one map. It would be amazing if we could.

It would be awesome of some prevalent WVW guilds or something wanted to get this done on our sever. Perhaps it’s too hard to pull them away from their loot bags though

I myself have run into this problem, with my home world of Borlis Pass. Not going to stop trying to organize it though.

10 secons they give us latter will make it easier if they desiced to give us more sec difficulty will = teq and it will be done on daily basis.

I’m part of a small guild and I’ve been speaking to others interested in forming a team of Fort Aspenwood players looking to learn and do the harder encounters regularly. I think our largest handicap as a server has been getting the organization going early on, which let people see little progress in the event and have thus abandoned it seeing no positives from the encounter. This is actually opportune as we can get players that actually want to learn and succeed in the event together in main.

I’m not interested in forming a guild for this, except maybe for organizational purposes. If we did it would just be one that doesn’t require representation and be FA only. I like my tight-knit small guild; but I would also like to see FA organize for these events and become a server people consider guesting to because we do these events.

Add me to your friends and I’ll add you. I’m not available much on weekdays.

I’m still focused on Marionette and haven’t even touched the wurm yet. I’m also in the middle of a big move; not the best time for me. But we’re down to perfect runs on Mari, so maybe it’s time to start looking at wurm.

I’m going to start studying the guides and videos, and hopefully by this time next week you’ll start seeing my tag at the event. I’ll be more than happy to help with the organization too. I also have a small private (RL friends) guild, but I’ve been debating making a new, public one. I’ll raise the topic during Marionette tonight and we’ll see where it goes.

And people do consider us worth guesting to. We get people guesting for Mari and I’ve had people guesting to join my temple runs for a while now

C’mon, we can’t even consistently kill the Marionette. It’ll take us quite awhile before we get Wurm down, sadly.

Were you on yesterday? Wins all day and two perfect runs in the evening. I don’t know how things went this afternoon, but when I log on tonight I intend to see those victories continue.

It’ll no doubt take us a long time to get the wurm down. All the more reason to start now.

I couldn’t get on yesterday, but that is a huge difference from the day before. We went from almost getting a perfect run to failing. It was pretty shameful :<

Well maybe this post got some people to try killing the Wurm. Map is in overflow and it wasn’t like this 24 hours ago I like to see that.

Our community ts even had channels all set up and ready for our pve guilds/players to use. Not our fault the people that organized our Teq kills aren’t able to do it anymore and no one else took the initiative.

Because it’s not made for Fort Aspenwood. It’s made for Blackgate and Desolation.

There aren’t enough people in the WORLD OF TYRIA that care. All that do go elsewhere to get it killed like BG, Deso, TTS, or TxS.

Only saw one other player in bloodtide coast.

Same situation with Underworld on eu’s side really. Had 10 players I think last try. I just wanted to show the boss mechanism to my friend and barely had enough for the escort.
Fun fun.

I didn’t know we had a forum! Guess I’ve got two forums to keep up with now. Though looking at it, there doesn’t seem to be much activity there. And yeah, the TS does seem to have a lot of empty channels. We tried to use it once for Mari and decided it was unnecessary. Definitely need to get people on there for wurm and teq.

I tagged up at wurm last night just to do it and it was interesting. We had about 50-60 people on map doing the event, and maybe half of those went to cobalt with me. We’re gonna need three times that in order to do the thing, but I was definitely able to understand the mechanics and start working out a game plan. I’ll try crimson and amber as well. It’s worth going to the event and getting experience against the heads even if we don’t have enough to complete.

Also brought it up during Mari. A lot of “just go join TTS” responses, but did get some positive feedback, and at the least I got people talking about it. We’re still very disjointed and non-communicative as a server, and many of our players seem to have just accepted that as the status quo. Let’s fix that.

Moogie and I have started talking more about an FA-only, non-rep guild for organizing this sort of thing. I’ve personally thought about something like this for my boss and temple runs. I get a lot of recurring players in my runs, most of whom are in small guilds, and I’ve been wanting to get everyone connected and organized, particularly so we can run things like Karka and Balthazar more regularly.

If we started up a guild like this, would others be interested in joining? Trying to think of a name with a catchy acronym.

For the name, perhaps something Fort Aspenwood related?

My guild chose FA because we were Kurzick supporters in GW 1.

Hah! I chose it because I played FA on the Luxon side! Maybe we faced each other at some point. Interesting that we’re working together now.

And yeah, some acronym with FA in it is best. Fort Aspenwood Alliance is taken, so I made one called Fort Aspenwood Ascension (FAA).
