Guild Wars 2

I did some forums searching and as far as I can tell I can switch from NA to EU just by deleting all characters ( I don’t pve or wvw so no issue), or pay gems.

Anyone else feeling like becuz EU is more competitive/higher pvp population this would actually be helpful?

Any downsides?

Prime times for playing is the only one i can see. However it sucks to see someone go just gonna be less people to play with/against in tourneys here

You would no longer be a member of the legendary legion of Papa Dock and Friends.

But in seriousness,
The only downside I see would maybe be a bit of server lag, and maybe language barriers? Eu is definitely more competitive though.

Lol idk about that one guy said he was top 100 in team rating as a solo que just saying that could not happen in NA.

Haha Aero atm PnF (papa dock n friends) is the only reason holding me back atm from at least trying. I’d be sad not playing with you guys but considering the other threads ive been seeing about complete solo q kitten and matchmaking our population on NA is not enough. Shame pvp servers cant just be merged.

Anyone else debating this?

And will deleting all my characters and transferring reset LB rank or keep it but change to EU LB (abit a different one due to different scoring)

I have PvE characters, one of them with 100% map completion, another 79%.

If I knew I could do that I’d go EU, I see it as being fun and you could probably learn a few words in a different language.

Also EU PvP is better than NA, you seen symbolic he went from nothing to #1 leaderboard solo quer NA, he made it look easy as well. I highly doubt any NA player would even come close to that doing so on the EU solo que leaderboards.

Im Europe they take sports serious, I remember living in Italy and the Italians that worked next to my building would get 1 hour or so break just to play soccer even though NONE OF THEM WAS ON A MAJOR TEAM. They got like holidays every other day, they don’t even work at all if you ask me, they just enjoy life. Italians also sleep twice a day, they goto bed in the middle of there work and go back to work for a lil bit longer, its very funny how there lifestyle is, but you can tell they are enjoying life and not being stressed all the time like us americans do.

There are certainly people playing spvp/tpvp outside primetime in EU. I can see that from my friend’s list / followers. But obviously the number of players is the greatest when it is evening time in Europe. This is true for any game activity in EU.

I am on Desolation, which probably has the highest spvp/tpvp population in EU. We got several pvp oriented guilds and large guilds, who do both WvWvW, pve and tpvp. One could also argue that we have some of the best tpvp guilds e.g. Team Paradigm.

I considered moving there for stronger competition, then I realised I’m not on the level where it matters. I’ve still got plenty to learn from good NA players. After that I realised my latency would be even worse, and I gave up on the whole thing.

Kind a dumb question:
so it if i delete all my chars from accaunt i can change servers and regions without payng any gems ?!

Yeah

The transfer fee is only charged if you have characters on your account; in other words, if your account has no characters or you delete all existing characters first, you will be prompted to select a new home world after creating a new character, free of charge.

Well it would be best if they just merged NA and EU queues for PvP.
Then NA prime-hours fill in for EU least active hours and Eu prime-hours fill in for NA least active hours.

Win-win situation.

…server lag

Nah. I am EU player playing on TC US since launch and never had lag problems.

Ok well Ty all for your input
Now my last question I am still wondering,

how do leaderboard transfers/glory rank (not a big deal) work?

Completely start over or puts you in where you compare on EU side?

I’m on EU too mate, originally due to connection issues.

The simple truth though is that the standard on EU is much, much higher. Although trolling NA is fun it’s better in the long run to work at outplaying teams when both sides are full of skilled players, not just with the odd talented ones.

You gotta remember that our primetime in EU is like noon/afternoon in NA (depending on where you live exactly).

I don’t care for prime time as I play all day regardless.

As for the much higher standard that’s what I want. I am tired of this boring NA match ups.

Agreed. Worked perfectly in GW1.

Dont expect to see significant increase of “skilled matches” with this current lame meta.
