Guild Wars 2

up it is bumped

Happy new year from GH!

bumping stuff up

We have a strong primetime again thanks to transfers and especially thanks to some people on GH still not quitting this kitten game and going out every night to kick butt and get bags. Also our commander coverage has increased a lot during the last months. We finally got them (short) queues on EB again in primetime and we can fill another map aswell, sometimes even more

We are still looking for more guilds and players, especially in offpeak – as this rank 14 we are now is still dangerously close to the “dead” matchups. Especially offpeak players / guilds would be welcome with cookies and milk (cough) as its our weakest point.

Update (1 of 2)

I hope people can forgive oslaf for his enthusiastic bumps from time to time. It’s primarily to indicate the Gunnar’s still has plenty of room for anyone who wants to join our friendly server community. You may find some of the shorter (generally 5-20) queues have returned to home map (and/or) EB during prime time if there’s a lot of exciting action happening on those maps, but the enemy borderlands still have plenty of space for a couple more raiding guilds to crank up the GH pressure at prime time. You will not have any trouble finding large enemy blobs happy to provide you with a steady source of lootbags at that time.

At the moment, the blacktide immigration to gunnar’s has helped return the servers numbers to become a prime-team/late evening beast. We’re particularly happy with our server’s continued friendly and relaxed atmosphere even when things get tense. We generally have good commander coverage for our pug population during prime time, which generally remains strong well into the night as many people from our raiding guilds often join in after their own raid is done to chill with the rest of the server. You’ll find open mics and other types of server events as part of the GH package (along with the opportunity to join some highly focused and strong raiding guilds).

For the most part, gunnar’s hold is running as a great server community where people are happy to play together. There are always going to be a few bumps along the way, but we’re very proud of the spectacular community we’re a part of. Finding the balance between being a server that particularly enjoys the fights and balancing out the ppt equation to make sure we don’t drop into the “dead” part of wvw is something I think gunnar’s is starting to do very well. Our commanders have become much more responsive to our scouts, and the cooperation between pug commanders and guild groups has been excellent when it comes to defence.

There is a bit of things for us to figure out still. The guildenzerg meta seems to be slowly shifting to a hand-holding guildenzergs meta (even among the non-german servers), and I think quite a few of us miss the days a solid 15 man group could carve up enemy blobs like a Sunday roast. You will still bump into enemy guild groups of sizes ranging from small (5-10) to the absurdly large (40+), so if you know where to look, you will find great fights in all sorts of sizes (at least until you wipe them often enough for them to call their entire server down on your head).

Currently we have enough space for guild groups to regularly map hop a few times during prime-time (including calls to save key objectives when needed), but larger guild groups (and server events) do sometimes need to be aware that moving to a busy/active map may split up the group for a short time (generally 10-15 minutes).

Update (2 of 2)

Like pretty much any server you choose to join, off-peak coverage remains a problem which we understand won’t be solved by a magical “oceanic/french canadian guild.” Gunnar’s has excellent wvw players which makes us generally rank well over our “coverage class”, so we find the mismatch in players particularly pronounced at times. These are certainly great opportunities for those who enjoy roaming in small groups (2-5) as it seems our opponent lately seem to provide us an abundance of prey (in particular we’ve been seeing quite a few packs of low skilled pew pew rangers and p/d thieves lately). The more exciting 1 on 1s, or 1 on 2s, 2 on 2s, seem to be somewhat trickier to find against some servers (especially the germans), but not significantly more so than in the past.

As our coffee raids proved in the pasts, the potential to mobilize a somewhat stronger morning force is there for those who are so inclined, but GH has been known to slack here occasionally, especially during a boring matchup. You will find that if you are willing to put in the time in the morning or other off-peak hours in wvw, you’ll quickly rise up in prominence on our server because it’s such a critical time in the matchups for us. Gunnar’s would also certainly benefit from an organized guild which enjoys making itself a nuisance in enemy borderlands to take off some of the pressure in our own corner when the server is trying to build up momentum for the day.

Gunnar’s is sill welcoming people interested in joining our community and has no plans to stop this no matter where we sit in the ranking. As previously stated, we can still easily fit a couple more large raiding guilds into the enemy borderlands without them risking being split up by queues. For those coming without a guild, GH offers a wide variety of WvW and PvX guild choices to match your preferred play style. Gunnar’s team speak is also available to support all guilds on the server (including more pve focused guilds) so make sure to contact the community to help you get set up when you arrive.

If you’re looking to join a community where the primary focus of playing wvw is to have fun, there’s a good chance GH will be the right place for you.

how is NA population on GH?

Who are the decent guilds on GH these days? I might consider leaving HotM to participate in WvW again.

Hey guys.

To my knowledge the NA population on GH is zero nada nothing ;p We always have been wiped out every morning (EU time), but the Gunnars dont even care anymore. A 20 man NA guild doing daily raids would seriously push us up the ladder because it would eliminate our weak spot. if you look at our tick history in mos millenium you will see what i mean.

What do you mean with decent? The strongest guild is KISS, the best fighters – i have no idea. We have a lot of guilds running 10-20 people. In primetime you will find anything from 4-8 guild raiding, depending on the day (also not always the same guilds). KISS runs 20-30 afaik. primetime on GH is about 8-12 with a strong presence up to 2 am, longer on weekends.

The most notable feature lately is an increased teamspeak-pugmander presence which now covers most of the day.

more bump up coming up!

tl;dr: primetime good, offpeak bad. http://www.gunnars-hold.eu join the vikings, bring your hammer.

Join us! We offer free coffee and loads of fun times! Help us compete and rise up even higher!

A bump for the Gunners!

Regular Bumping up here!

pounding all enemy servers into the dust during primetime – but not getting any ppt because we get capped by 10-15 people in the early morning and ticking 5-100 when the GH is sleeping. NA guilds, morning players – save us from kittenty opponents please.
