Guild Wars 2

So I just started the game and chose Kaineng. I thought since it was a High population server it would be decently populated without queues or overhunting(If that’s a thing in GW2)

Since running around the world I’ve found that most of the little event things are empty. I was looking forward to DEs and other fun group based leveling so that was disappointing.

I also saw a scoreboard for Kaineng in WvW and while I don’t really know how it works…… it didn’t look like we were doing good.

So should I switch to a Very High pop server? I don’t carry about winning WvWvW all the time, but I also want to be competitive. Since I’m still below level 10 deleting and transferring wouldn’t be a big deal.

Thanks in advance!

I play in the EU, so cant give any server names. There are very little issues with overfarming in this game, you only have to queue for World versus World (not for bosses).

The respawn rate of foes is very quick. Besides that there is a skaling system in place, and you don’t have to tag a foe first to get the drops. Farming nodes only dissappear for you for some time, but others can still farm it.

There is an issue at very very crowded events (like the recent chaos clockwork events) where you deal a decent amount of damage, but still don’t get the champion drop cause it is simply too crowded, but with crowded I mean like at a popconcert crowded.

If you are considering to transfer I would suggest going for a high populated world that is ranking place 5-15 on the WvW leaderboard. A top ranking server often has the issues that the rest of the server is deserted and you have extreme long waiting queue’s. Very high populated servers that are sub top are likely to have a more then decent amount of the population in PvE.

You can always use the guesting function to play for a bit on different servers to test them out if it makes a difference (though you cant enter WvW while guesting, this to prevent matchfixing).
