Guild Wars 2

That’s my favourite rota, as it was on my server before the megaserver patch regarding respawn times.

What’s your favourite rota?

Never did the rota before megaserver but boar, troll, bandit, oak is the only one I ever see nowadays.

Edit: Removed original rota as it wasn’t QD

The OP specified Queensdale. I think that pretty much everyone will prefer what their server did pre-Megaserver. For instance, I’m from Sorrow’s Furnace, where we generally did Boar – Oak – Troll – Bandit, and I prefer BOTB, because I’m used to it. But BTBO has the advantage of being able to pick up at Boar after SB, regardless whether the post-SB crowd takes the Oak or not. With BOTB, you just resume at Oak after SB, and take her down with the Post-SB crowd, then continue. What’s going to happen though, is this will turn into a “Flame the QD zerg” thread. :p
Edit: I’ve never seen “boar, troll, oak, bandit” – is that a real rotation, or maybe a typo?

Yeah, my server’s been running BOTBS for a while now. I think Bandit is a relatively new addition, there was a time when it wasn’t part of the rotation.

I do miss Frostgorge, though.

Our server has always been: boar, troll bandit, oak, spider (when it was a champion but not an event now it’s an elite) then wasp if it was up. The timing worked out perfectly but sometimes I missed the spider because I wasn’t quick enough (slower computer/connection so my load screens when using WP took forever and also often using a mesmer).

I don’t see how any other sequence would work. If other servers are used to different rotations I can understand how people are getting frustrated because we are all together now.

Boar – Oak – Troll – Bandit – Spider actually worked quite well on SF. Though we would frequently miss the wasp if she didn’t pop shortly before, or right after the boar. We ran from the troll to the bandit going past the Vale WP. I’ve heard of using the fields WP to get to the bandit maybe this is what the boar, troll, oak, bandit group does.
And yeah, Megaserver has done more to hurt the QD zerg than any of the actual nerfs. I just had a thought that Anet may have nerfed the spider not to hurt the QD train, but because it caused so much strife.(Amongst the faster vs. slower zerg members.)

On FA, it was Boar Troll Bandit Oak. No spider now since it’s been downgraded, and there’s wasp when up. Altho there’s alot of people who want to hold up the train forever <g> It doesn’t hurt anyone, as long as member of the train don’t give unsuspecting players who inadvertently start the troll grief. It sure helps with those monthlies.
