Guild Wars 2

So now that megaserver is live, Is there anyway to figure out which servers you can guest on or find a group running balth ? The sites I used to check are now all down and it’s kinda fustrating.

Go to straits of devastation and start the pre event, let people know in map chat.

I will when I get about 480k more karma. RNG hates me and it took me about 354 shards to make my clovers.

Nope. The APIs that would output information on quests to websites are broken now. They were server-based. Server zones were static.

Now we have megaserver zones, being constantly created and destroyed without a static designation the way server-specific zones were. Guesting won’t do jack, afaik, except maybe tweak the megaserver’s algorithm when it matches you up to “your own server” to the one you’re guesting on. So maybe you’ll get a different map?

RIP helpful APIs. Now we have to stand around waiting for pre-events to pop.

The best I can suggest is to camp or hope someone in your guild is already camping it to give everyone the head’s up. And then we cross our fingers and pray the shard isn’t full.

The Temple of Balthazar gets done more on the mega servers than I’ve seen it on any server in ages. It’s much easier to start that event chain now and see it through to completion.

I have to concur with this.

Every time I pop into Straights, Balth is either open or in the process of being opened. I love it.

Edit: I’ll also note that I’m on AR where it was seemingly never, ever open before.

It’s open right now. I’m on SoS. Not sure if that helps or not.

I have yet to enter a Orr zone and not either have control of the Temple or the event in some stage of completion. I just went to Balth Temple this morning….5AM CDT US.

I know it has presented some major issues for some engagements of the community, but I personally think Megaserver ROCKS!

Honestly, since the Megaservers and new GM traits, those temples are open more often than not. Just head to Orr and, if it’s not open, start the event and tell everyone in /map. You’ll have plenty of people joining in promptly.
