Guild Wars 2

Ok, I see many many threads with complaints about “how people don’t know how to run a meta and because of them the meta fails”.

There is a forum that deals with fractals, dungeons and raids where people can post strategies and whatnots in these areas.

Could we get one for metas? I know that there are several websites out there that give information about that, but it would be really nice to have that information on the actual GW2 forum, instead of having people googling all over the place, getting sometime wrong information or just plain getting too frustrated looking for the info and just jumping in the meta doing whatever they were able to understand to do.

Do you mean meta builds or meta events?

Meta is a prefix, it doesn’t really mean anything on its own and in this case I certainly can’t work out what you mean from the context.

Perhaps the place for a clearinghouse for meta event tactics would be whichever board (probably the general Heart of Thorns board) the complaints appear in.

That is why the forum could be called “Meta Events” instead of just “meta”

Yes, Meta Events. The HoT is still fairly new, for older players who got their HoT recently or for new players. It would be helpful to have a few guides. You know like “Auric Basin meta: Pre explanations; Main event explanation like: East octovine, grab bombs, glide and drop bombs on the octovine til slime shields are removed, then burn; wait to kill until all corners can kill at once”

Isn’t the GW2W dedicated to this effort though? And various other unofficial sources?

Unfortunately the wiki doesn’t have the HoT metas. And I honestly find whatever HoT information on it quite insufficient.
