Guild Wars 2

I am trying to guest to other servers, but I keep getting put in the same one. The same people are there. Does this still work?

Everything is megaserver. Only some maps have multiple instances. The only reason to guest it seems is to get credit on guild missions.

Then how do I get away from certain people I don’t want to be around?

Change map. Ot Go to your home instance or any instance (personal story, living story, dungeon, fotm, etc)

I shouldn’t have to leave the map because of other people. If I can’t change the instance of the zone I am in like before, then I will be quitting the game again. I decided to try it out and see what’s new, but this is a dumb system.

Yes, guesting still works, but all servers share whatever map instances have been created rather than each individually having their own. If there’s not enough people to fill a map for example, guesting isn’t going to help. When multiple maps have been created however, you can guest to a server that would have created an overflow to get into their instance.

Pretty much.

They could have atleast made city zones still based on the server you signed up for.

I’ve guested to various maps using many different servers that I would guess to. I always ended up on the same map irregardless as to which server I was guested to. Guesting is pretty pointless other than to get credit for guild missions. If the worldwide guilds resolves the credit issue, guesting might as well just be removed.

Though in all fairness, it wouldn’t have helped the OP out in the world.

I would assume the best thing to do would be to add them to your ignore list?

I doubt the people in question are ran into enough in overworld maps to be an issue. LA/Capitals are the only places I ever run into the same people consistently and I wander the maps quite a bit.

It might also help the fact that chat in LA has pretty much disappeared since they blew it up and made GW2 adopt the GW1 district system.

I think the issue is, and I used to guest for the same reason, I used to leave my server if I couldn’t complete an event because it was being “farmed” on my server…

I used to guest to SoR because they had the best FG champ train going.
It also helped when I was looking for open temples .

Megaservers made most things irrelevant now. There isn’t a need to guest anymore.
I’ve also noticed less megaservers now too; over a month ago i could switch maps and would get a different “megaserver” zone, but now it’s usually the same one no matter how many times i try to get a different one. I only ever see overflows for EotM.
