Guild Wars 2

Okay was on Silverwaste for a while and could not get the defense to level 4 on the foothold there were a few ppl helping me does this take a large zerg to do or is it dead content?

Just use LFG menu to taxi to a more populated map. It’s far from dead.

It’s not hard to find a populated SW map and there are still a LOT of people doing it at the moment. Like a lot. It’s working far better than when it first came out. I would guess you just very unfortunately got placed on a fresh map with no people :/ Most likely because the other maps were full.

even fresh maps can be brought to life by doing events till 20% then porting in ppl. having a few ppl with mentor/commander tags tends tro be helpfull

How long does it usually take to get 4 def cap and feel the bar full for the bosses? I really liked the map when I was playing it with the party was fun just wasn’t enough people I guess and everyone just left =/ I really liked the way the map was running nothing like all the other maps I had been on.

How long does it usually take to get 4 def cap and feel the bar full for the bosses?

1. Join a new map or relog until you get a 10-20% map, then start taxing ~50 people. This usually takes 30 min. until breach.
2. open lfg tool and join any 70%+ taxi. That takes usually 5-10 minutes until breach.
3. After breach taxi always people for vw in!
4. After vw, redo point 1 or 2.

Follow this 4 points and you can play SW 24/7 on full maps with max reward. (I don’t recommend it, because some sleep each day is important for human beings.)

Silverwastes maps are always in one of three stats:

1. Almost empty/new

2. Event map. These are in LGF as “sw 40%”" or “vw” or “vinewrath”. The 40% refers to the event progress so far (and is usually overstated!) Join one of these. There is usually at least one in the LFG list. Just zone in and head for a commander tag.

3. Chest farm map. In LFG as “cf” or “sw cf” or similar. This is where you’ll find a whole mob of players just running round and round digging up loot chests and ignoring the events except for an occasional fort clearance. If you start doing the events on a cf map you’ll struggle to get them done and you’ll probably get some chat abuse from the chest farmers! If you want to tune out for 2 or 3 hours and earn some loot then get yourself in one of these maps. EU server evenings is usually good.

When you land in a map, just ask in chat “cf or event?”.

Okay I haven’t really figured out the LFG tool yet what am I suppose to go into living world? I will try silverwaste later trying to figure to watch some guides on it and the LFG and this forums post has help alot too. would my server have any affect on doing silverwaste?

Your server has no effect. Just look for SW (silverwastes) or VW (vinewrathe) in the open world section of lfg. Silverwastes is one of the most populated maps in the game – you wont have issues taxiing into a decent one using lfg.

The defence level isn’t really a priority, but having small groups keep the camps held whilst players join the map is key. Then it will start the boss rounds and then the final boss, regardless of how well the boss rounds before it have performed.

I am trying to get to the point of interest that is behind a wall of vines I wiki the point and said I need the bosses, and def 4 cap to get to them. Also just trying to map complete silverwaste as well, and trying to get more tyria mastery points on the way.

The final boss will appear regardless of how many camps are kept capped or bosses killed. Once the bar is filled, the final boss event will happen, guaranteed. Capping and successfully defending those 4 camps, fills the meta event bar quicker to get to that point.

I don’t quite understand what I need to get into the labyrinth just kill the bosses?

Oh right, that vine wall.

Once Vinewrath, the main map boss is killed, the labyrinth will be accessible after a few minutes from the entrance on the south side of the map.

OH alright I see now lol I finished the jumping puzzle there yay and notice the bar fill twice and made it to the end of the vine boss event.
