Guild Wars 2

as im sick of trying to do this but end up on a overflow server were it isnt working on its not like im even on a busy server too out of 12 trys to play the even i have only successfully got in twice

The invasion events starts around the hour (01:00, 02:00 and soon) every hour.
Any overflow that is created within 10 minutes of said event start will have the event. So if you join the map at the hour you should be able to do the event, no matter how many overflows there are.

And do not make the same mistake I made a few times, I was queued and after a few minutes I could travel to the main map. But it actualy traveled me to an even emptier overflow

Yeah you must join within 10 minutes of the invasion starting, doesn’t matter if your put in overflow, if it’s within that 10 minutes of the message it should still take place.

And if it pops up “Do you want to move to the main map” (or whatever it says) don’t except it, stay where you are, otherwise you could be dumped out of the invasion event.
