The only servers that have decent player base for wvw is t1 atm, many people /guilds quit when Anet totally ruined it. But they have promised to make things better in the new year. If you haven’t already moved on to something better.

If you’re thinking of transferring, don’t waste your gems. WvW isn’t going to survive as a playable game mode for much longer (in any tier). And if anyone thinks the same people who brought you the failing progression of Bloodlust Ruins —> EotM —> Desert(ed) BL are going to “fix” WvW… LOL.

Id rarely recommend t1 for solo roaming, its all blobs or guild gank squads that run the cheesiest builds imaginable gank & stealth. The problem now is people are moving up to higher tiers especially t1 trying to find more action because all tiers are losing players due to anets actions. So its kind of a lose/lose situation, its more active here, but its less likely as a solo roamer you will enjoy it, but then again lower tiers are not in a healthy state atm.

EB is generally the only map to get a queue, because…well the new map sucks and ppl are ignoring it for a variety of reasons and choose to just go to EB, so your more likely gonna be stuck on the new bl, which many complain is very difficult to find other roamers to fight, due to layout and features that make it easier to avoid fights, like the sentry enemy spotting.

I say what needs to be said, get used to it.

Solo roaming? Ha! Good luck with that. Seems like roaming is dead, it’s just gank squads orbiting around PvD zergs. The scene is so starved, it’s Hardly worth the HoT re-gearing or transferring or sometimes even logging in.

I loved roaming on the Alpine maps. On EBG it’s like you’re always within range of a cannon and a blob.

I don’t know… best for roaming (not solo roaming) may be Sea of Sorrows or Fort Aspenwood on T2 servers. Although, FA blobs too, if you can find some, that are roaming, they do a lot of PK (Player killing) and recapping things and dueling. SoS don’t blob that much, but they do have many roaming groups from my experience, or at least I see people roaming, not sure if they are grouped up or not.

If you really want to solo roam on T2 servers (TC, FA, SoS) go to the borderlands, you’ll likely find 2 enemies or so there the whole time, but you can cause a lot of havoc with PPT by flipping camps and the northern towers. Not many commanders seem to care much about the southern towers

I don’t know much about T1 servers, but I do know that I did a lot more solo roaming on T6 – T8 servers than I do when it comes to T2 servers and EBG. Yet I still end up often solo roaming the borderlands… while EBG is with a queue at times like reset night.

Tons of roaming in T1. During NA Prime, you have to pick your fights and know which guilds are running gank (as in you see one but get flattened by 2+ mine included) but IMO that is half the fun of roaming. I routinely flip camps solo and get plenty of fun fights just by wandering to the other side. There are zergs to dodge but unless you have made a name for yourself zergs generally don’t chase roamers. Outside of NA Prime, it is generally really quiet and aside from an off hour group running around roaming is all there is.

It’s easy to solo roam. Log on to any server outside of prime, choose a BL, and you can solo roam to your hearts content. Don’t expect to see anyone else….at all.

In T2, you can occasionally find other solo roamers, but it can be days between such encounters. I would strongly recommend off-peak hours for roaming; once the map (EBG) starts to populate, a lot of people gravitate to the larger groups, and the larger groups are so starved for action they will chase down roamers just for something to do.

Of late, most if not all roaming fights (2-5 range, not solo) are subjected to cannons, mortar fire, and hungry zergs. Oh, and roamers with dragon or turtle banners. It’s extraordinarily rare to find engagements like one used to do. If I’m out solo on a BL I’ll usually jump whatever I can find, just to see how many I can take out before I have to escape/am killed, because it’s usually the only action I’m going to encounter for an hour.

The death of the Alpine borderlands pretty much ruined solo roaming. I can’t speak for EU.

But many of the solo roamers have disappeared on NA servers. Pretty much gotta take your chances on EB where most the zergs and gank teams go.

As someone already said, it’s not worth gem transfer unless you got the money laying around.

Guys im pretty sure that by solo roaming, hes looking for a server that actually has something to fight 1vx’s. Solo roaming doesnt necessarily mean pvd..

Pretty sure that if he wanted to pvd and cowardly avoid fights on an empty border he’d know to go to the bottom server.

As for the OP’s post, go to t1.

1vX is on any server though, you can get fights on T8 (Erebon Terrace) if you roam around looking for that from the other two T8 servers in EB when its not that servers’ prime time. Same for T2 servers…

On T2 servers, you’ll find a few Sea of Sorrows roaming around ganking others or even roaming around solo or with others in small groups trying to pick off various blobs of FA or TC people.

Im on ros atm, I can go 2 hours of solo roaming on the borders without meeting a soul. After 4 hours you might find one nike warrior who’s there specifically to avoid fights. I was once on Gandara for a short while and it reminded me of what roaming used to be. You could get a 1v1 or 1vx atleast every few minutes.

Saying that if you roam on the bottom tier server for an indefinite time you can technically eventually get a 1vx is misleading, it will take hours.

Not if its a T7/T6 server like Kaineng. You are likely playing on a BL or in non prime time hours. I often found people to pick off just watching the maps and things that were taken then running to what I thought the next would be and meeting them either at it or half way to it and killing them there.

It was fun, but yeah on lower tier servers, it was dull during non-prime hours. You could go like 6 hours and maybe find one other roamer, but during prime hours, you could find a few roamers here and there. The same is true of servers all servers too. You’ll likely not find many people on in non-prime hours for that server. But on T2 and T1 you’ll get hit with a EB queue if you’re on in the perfect prime hours cries

Just as a reminder, a guy running to catch up with his zerg isn’t a “roamer”.

The concept of “solo-roaming” only existed as a consequence of a massive loss of players after the initial surge of WvW was gone. Since WvW’s beginnings, groups have taken priority in effectiveness. Duos and Trios were considered valid. Solo, though? No way. Only the reduction in population has allowed the “role” to flourish.

You won’t find a server with a sustainable population that allows this to happen. Unless you only like flipping camps and not fighting other players, T1/T2 is where you have to go. it’s blobby, and every single person running in a gank squad is running the cheesiest, dirtiest, most overpowered builds they can with the full intent to 5v1 you, but it’s the only tier where you’ll get action.

I transferred out from the middle/low tiers a few days ago because I was quite literally our entire map presence. No guild, no tag, no pugs. Outnumbered 24/7, teamspeak empty. A group of five held our entire server’s presence back with us ticking for 50 for several days because we couldn’t muster more than three people to fight.

It does not seem like most roamers, usually run into actual roamers, eb is usually just blobs, or the borders are empty, with a few guilds doing gms outside prime time. The days when roaming groups, ran into other roaming groups, it seems like its gone extinct, like gvg guilds out on the open field, at least when you try watch those countless videos.

So it doesn’t matter what tier, as long as the server you’re on, is in a balanced tier, so you won’t be stuck fighting the same servers each week. Auto correct, sorry..

Since you specifically mentioned solo-roaming, I’d recommend checking out the lower-silver through mid-silver servers. Anything higher than and it starts getting crowded fast (on EBG). If you’re hoping to find action on the borderlands, it’kitten or miss no matter where you go.

Like you I transferred out cause of a guild I was in to a T2 server, sorta regret that decision. But anyways live an learn…

Even on lower tiers they have action, but its not on the scale that T2 is, and I’m assuming T1 is too. T2 has blob v blob at times with one server having maybe 2 blobs in EBG running at the same time. Yet, you’ll still find some roaming around trying to pick off people that are trying to get to the blobs after they respawned at xyz keep waypoint. Or that are just running around trying to find the enemy blobs to keep an eye on them.

I don’t like roaming in EBG during the servers prime hours. Its painful at times. However, on the BLs its not so painful and you’ll find some fights some times, but its maybe 1v1 or 2v1, its nothing generally massive unless for some reason one of the servers is upset with another and decides to storm Earth keep… Seen that happened now twice and both times it was around 20 or so taking just that objective and not really taking anything else.
