Small man roaming looking for a new server
Hello Agent, as a recommendation I wouldn’t chose HoD. I am on DR and we just had 2 roaming groups move to our server from HoD because of the lack of roaming. Nothing against HoD or upper tiers but you see a lot more roaming fun T5-T7. If you want all the info you can message me here or in game.

FA brother. Plenty of small man PST guild can do. How do I know? WS been doing it for a year now. Hit me up in-game if you have questions. FA is T3ish now, maybe jumping into T2 on occasion, but for the most part T3. Generally speaking small man guilds in T2/T3 are very rare. There are some noted exceptions (HOD’s ASTC, MAGS FCTR, SBI Abyss/Beast). We spend most our time farming pug zergs, and ganking structures.
I know FA and MAG have good roamers – it’s why I was thinking HOD- we would more times than not have the chance to play y’all’s small teams. Have been on FC during the seasons and we spent way to many nights running around empty maps.
Don’t forget SFH and that GF (iirc) on HoD. Solid players. FA is usually outnumbered during PST against HoD.
In T2 the small-man groups sometimes have to voltron unfortunately. In T3 they don’t. At least, that was how it was pre-season. It was hard to find Mag groups not voltroning, especially when the tournament was driving everyone to focus on PPT. Don’t know how it is now.

This is good info guys- thanks.
Just gunna add to the post, cause I currently run in the same kind of group, small 3-4 man roaming group. We transferred from CD (due to some server politics issues that I won’t discuss on here, i’ll be happy to explain more in pm or in game) to Yak’s Bend after season 1. YB is made up of a lot of militia guilds (not huge blob guilds) so the roaming here is actually pretty dang solid. We don’t really play the ppt game, we just look for fights. We have been extremely happy on YB.

Come to CD. The drama that happened a year ago HAPPENED A YEAR AGO (don’t be afraid to pm somebody on another server to find out what happened a year ago though, lol). Currently we offer a scrappy/fighting ethos to go along with good mid tier coverage (something most servers in t3-t5 lack) and a dispersity of matchups.
NSP. Great for small elite groups. We are filled with them ;D You would feel right at home.
The degree is arbitrary. The definition’s blurred.
If I’m to choose between one evil and another, I’d rather not choose at all.
Hi there agentmooncat! I’ve been on CD since beta and I love it here. Our wvw community is a fun bunch and I laugh more during raids than I prolly should. I also know we have some great roaming guilds such as TKVA and GDAM. We also tend to have a good range of opponents to fight which makes it super interesting.
Shiri already mentioned it but please check out the CD community website www.crystal-desert.com to get a better feel for us and maybe set up a ts chat. Cannot wait to talk to you more!

Would like to know which roaming groups moved so we can better plan for the future, if you could! I’ve known NA was going away for a while (didn’t exactly treat us nicely while they were here) but who else joined from HoD? I wouldn’t be so quick to discount us being on a server that we haven’t faced in half a year (DR) but to a point I do agree that we have some nasty blobs.
I am on HoD (from ASTC) and we do have many small man roaming groups. I just don’t want to include any in case one left for DR! I head out with a group between 1 and 10 every day and night and I have a blast every time.
FA has [WS], and that’s about it. Otherwise pretty blobby. Big props to Kruegs’ guys for small-manning it and risking getting zerged, just as we do.
SBI’s best roamers (as Kruegs mentioned before) are from BAEST and Abys. I have gotten to know quite a few of them through our fights together- they are good fighters, and even better people.
YB roaming- just euuuuugh. For the most part either they blob, hide behind their siege, or run. I have met a few good players from YB though!
CD’s best roaming group is [TKVA], they’re very talented, though extremely poor sports (e.g. whispering trashtalk, and they have a notorious forum troll and HoD hater who, appropriately, has appeared in this thread!)
NSP has the real elite roamers imo- tM/Holy and many more. They’re a very good choice if you’re looking to roam.

So based on these definitive descriptions of each server, does the op want to roam with the best and curb stomp everyone? or fight against the best and get better at the game?
Food for thought.

The fact that you didnt deny that YB description it makes me wonder if YB will come outto fight at all however gl to your decision and the needed deep research so you dont have to transfer again

You know this ain’t definitive! It’s just what I’ve seen. My personal observations of every other server, with my bias.
FA has [WS], and that’s about it. Otherwise pretty blobby. Big props to Kruegs’ guys for small-manning it and risking getting zerged, just as we do.
Eh, FA has quite a few 20+ guild groups, but we have quite a few roamers as well. WS is the most vocal and noticeable, but BOSS and WB roam well too. GWAM in OCX/SEA roams too, but lately they’ve been tagging up and leading in their timezone. oT and LAG roam too, when they’re not rallying. Thing is, FA roamers don’t get zerged too often during NA prime time, since our guild groups are taking care of the zergs, giving roamers much more free reign. Without a friendly zerg, a roaming group will naturally be targeted by the enemy zerg.
Play against we have been playing with some really great players for a long time and often wished we were on opposite servers to play against them- this time we are not looking to join with great players but to play against them- GW2 has lost a ton of really great players because anet refuses to give us what we need to make the game viable for our type of play style so it’s getting harder to find consistent talent to play against. We r some of the few hold outs trying to play the >10 man game so we are looking for a server that plays against talent not necessarily with. Looks like most of the guys are leaning CD- hope to see some of you guys on the field soon

Most of FA’s zergs are pretty reasonable in not squirreling for a few roamers- from my experience the ultimate hungry animals of squirreling were YB.
Truthfully, OP, I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the communities mentioned here. We [ASTC] and Kruegs’ guys on FA [WS] know we can make a big difference in T3, roaming is great fun anywhere from T3 to T7 in my opinion.
I just wanted to pop in here and thank all of you for your informative and helpful responses. Once we figure out what is up with the 7 days lockout issues some folks seem to be having, we should be able to transfer with somewhat less trepidation thanks to all the input.

didn’t want to start a forum argument really, yeah we’re known for our siege and all that, but at the same time, that irritates the other servers so when i’m out roaming, the enemies literally throw themselves at me cause they want to kill yak’s so bad lol. Honestly some of the best roaming i’ve had is on YB. Always skilled folks to fight/lure off of blobs. OP, good luck in deciding where to go. Hope whichever server you guys (and maybe gals) pick you enjoy and have fun.

blacktide!..
The community of Blacktide has been recently refreshed at the start of Season 2 with the larger WvW guilds such as: [Hi], [FRS], [KYSA], [RiOT]. The Smaller or PvX guilds consist of [SNOW], [CUTE], [AZU], [STAR], [HeRo], [None], [WIN], [MTK], [POL] and [gram] and a few others (sorry if i missed you out).
This is an appeal to strengthen the existing community of Blacktide.
What we can offer:
An extremely well designed teamspeak server for all players and guilds on Blacktide to use.
A brand new website with a crisp and fresh layout.
Some experienced guilds that offer support, training or advice if required.
Commanders willing to listen and act on scout reports.
Off Peak commanders/Night WvW Action.
Virtually no queues, occasionally EB but nothing worth mentioning.
Guilds willing to listen and improve, there’s a great sense of enthusiasm and a real fighting spirit.
Weekly community meetings where everyone on blacktide is welcome to join and have input.
Potential future fun community events!
What we seek:
_*Any WvW player*, guild, roamer etc… Community orientated preferred.
Any commanders (daytime specifically). – Willing to lead the players out with guild raids and promote the public teamspeak.
1 or 2 Larger primetime guilds, to take the pressure off the existing guilds.
Any addition to our night team Scouts, Roamers NA players or late night EU’ers.
Suggestion, Input and advice is welcomed regarding community affairs.
So if you are a guild leader, group of friends or a solo roamer leader Blacktide has a place for you. There is a great chance here to build a strong community and any new guilds will make a great name for themselves, as the recent ones that transferred have done so.
Here’s some action from a couple of different guilds on blacktide.
[RiOT], [HI], [FRS], [KYSA]
If you would like any more information regarding the server you can message the following players,
MidgetMonk.5487 [RiOT], The Umpire.9510 [FRS], or Gregorus.1397 [HI].
Guild: SFRJ
Server: FSP
We are definitely not going to any Euro server the ping increase is no good for us.
If you are looking for fighting roaming groups. Find out what server is going to be paired with NSP for long time. NSP has the top-tier roamers during NA time zone.
Hey, check our server recruitment info!
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/Ring-of-Fire-Updated-Transfer-Info/first#post4085599
SBI has never really been known for roamers but we have quite a few smaller guilds now running regular havocs and we can always use more small man groups.
IoJ and NSP are probably two of the servers with the better roamers so if you want competition going to any server likely to face them a bunch will probably be a good place to look.
You’re always going to encounter blobs up in T1-4 just as an fyi, especially during NA. Anyone claiming their server doesn’t blob has blinders on.

Heya Agent,
ENVY just moved to HoD from SoS, we are having a great time, excellent fights, and it is a very friendly cooperative server. Should try it.
We have a michiro on CD, do you even know what a michiro is? i thought so.
NA prime silver league roaming is roaming at half the size of gold. Do you roam in 30+? welcome to silver!
