Hi,
I’ve recently changed my server, but I can’t get any wvw HP buff (robust etc.) anymore.
What’s the problem, and what am I doing wrong ? This problem occurs both in wvw maps and pve maps (non-overflow normal maps) Also a new match started 5 days after i joined this server, so waiting for matchmaking didn’t solve my problem too. Can anyone help me please ?

I can’t find exact info, but I do remember reading before release that the WvW related buffs were going to be unavailable to you for a set time after world transfers to prevent people from just transferring to winning worlds to take advantage of the bonuses.

Can’t find any info about whether they implemented it or not, and if they did, for how long you have to wait.

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.
A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me. They’re called Guardians.

You do not get the buff during the current match after a transfer and possibly the match after that as well.

It also does not apply when you are in Overflow or guesting on another server even if you have never transfered.

Yes I know this. But as I stated, 5 days after my transfer(transfer date: 8th april), a new wvw match started on last Friday night, but I still have no buffs. I think it has more cooldown than we think, or it’s a bug or something. I can’t find a new official information about this from arenanet anywhere. (maybe it’s because i don’t know the right term to search)

I’ve found this on another gw2 forum, but cooldown time isn’t definitely explained.

“Some of our more astute fans asked about the complications involved with switching servers and how it would interact with world bonuses. Every account has a home server where your characters are created. You can only fight for your home world in WvW. You can visit other servers, and while you are visiting, you still get the world bonus from your home world instead of the bonus for the world you are visiting. If you switch your home server, you lose the bonus from your previous home world and are not eligible for the bonus for your new server at least until the beginning of the next battle for the Mists. We may extend this disqualification into the next match or possibly even longer to discourage people from switching servers right before a battle ends in order to get an awesome bonus. You will have to pay a fee to change your home server (price undetermined), and that will also discourage people from server hopping to chase world bonuses. "

It seems that you may not qualify till the next match, starting on the 26th? If you still don’t have them then it may be a bug. Till then just tough it out.

It is currently working as intended for you i would say wait until the start of the next match if it still isn’t applied then perhaps email support@arenanet.com or w/e it is.
