Guild Wars 2

Before I talk about my home server, let me make it clear that the intent of this thread is to figure out what would be a good option for me to earn the 500 reward points at the end of the season.
Please do not derail this thread as I am sure that will lead it to be closed.

So currently I am in Blackgate and we started really strong, I was hoping we would get 1st place this season and I could acquire both Mistforged weapon and the new minipet.

But this week we faced JQ and TC who are very organized and stronger than I had imagined, with the way the scoring is done, here is what the score will look like end of the week:

Server—-Score after 3rd Wk
BG———- 11
JQ———-11 or 9
TC———-11 or 9
SoS———11
DB———-7
Mag——-5

So basically Id like to stay in Gold league and get max points.
BG was looking strong but now JQ or TC will tie it up and considering the way things are going I expect BG to come 2nd and possibly 3rd.
Unfortunately it seems like most people I talk to, seem to not want to allow BG to win season 2 since they won the first one already.
Would you recommend that I move to JQ or TC?
How about SoS?

Does anyone else like me care to get the max 500 points?

I’d recommend you go back to pve, honestly.

First off, be aware that you are probably not going to get too many friendly responses to your question as the WvW community frowns upon using the game mode solely as a means to obtaining a reward/ach points/etc.

That being said, i will try to answer your question as best I can (comes with a big IMO sticker). If I were you I would stick with BG. The season is still too volatile at this point to determine a probable winner. With BG’s coverage advantages, if all other things were even, they would most likely come out with the most points. That is a better reason than nothing to stay versus transfer.

Also, I wouldnt be too sure about that DB/Mag score :P

1- Your world association will be based on your participation throughout the tournament. If you play on multiple worlds during the tournament, the world you represented the most will be the one with which you are associated.

2- You’ll be locked out of WvW for two weeks after transferring….

3- You should probably pick a server and stick with it….and get your Meta and take what your server earns while you PvE to your heart’s content as it seems you don’t actually care about your server community.

The tournament isn’t to get the most points, it’s about server pride and fighting to keep your enemy down at all costs! It is still anyone’s game and the season isn’t decided yet.

Also: #BGTears

Anyone can win, there are still 6 weeks more to go.
You will likely get top 3 spots if you chose to stay on BagGate which may not be too bad.
Otherwise you may want to jump ship to either JQ or TC.

Also: #BGTears confirmed!

Stay in BG. They will be fine. Certain WVW guilds got a bunch of humble pie this week, but they are still a strong server.

if your concern is weapon skins and mini pets, you will not receive a warm welcome in Tier 2

2000 gems for these tickets?

You are the customer ANet likes!

HoD seems to be the server in NA (Gandara in EU) that wins it’s league with highest certainty, and as far as I know winning is winning no matter if gold silver or bronze.

Personally I’d prefer he does jump ship to TC or JQ and doesn’t come back. There’s too many fairweathers around with no dedication or resolve to fight back and would rather bail at the first sign of a challenge.

you could just stay on BG, actually queue into WvW and reap the benefits of a 2v1… your loot bags are only a few steps away from your spawn! it’s wonderful! JQTC is making this week much more fun than week1.

For the max amount of tickets to the league winner… I’d say go to silver league. Henge of Denravi looks unstoppable in silver and should surely get 500 tickets.
Gold won’t be decided for many weeks yet.
Since the amount of tickets you get is based on the server you spend the most time on during the tournament, you’ll probably have to transfer very soon as the tournament is already almost 33% done. Gold league may or may not be decided until as late as week 9.

If these are the people BG attracted to their server….. I feel sorry for you guys lol.

We don’t need any more bandwagoneers, please.

JQ is the go to server now!

Blackgate has been put back into its rightful underdog position.

Your probably best to stay on BG. I’m sure there are people who worked out the math on who will likely place 1st-3rd. I can assure you BG will not be making 1st and more than likely will make 3rd at the moment if this 2v1 continues all season (which I assume will).

The server you decide to play on should be soley based on where your having the most fun (and will have the most fun) after the season is over. Don’t think of the rewards, they are a lost cause at the moment.

Let this thread be a warning to the season two winner. This will be the kinda player you will attract.

Hello Talyn

Please don’t take this the wrong way. If you are in leadership, it might not be wise to have this type of sentiment published. Casuals and pve folks make up for a huge chunk (as much as 50% – 60%). I’ve witnessed 1st hand wvw emptying out because of these type of sentiments.

@ the OP:

I think the better question here is… What are you bringing to the table? Why would any of the servers you name want you to join them?

Keep him in Gold, Silver doesn’t want him.

Seriously stay with Blackgate its a solid server and just because the third week they are getting pounded doesn’t mean it will last. There is no way TC and JQ will keep this alliance going this long.

True enough, I only speak for myself.

I do respect those players that come into WvW who are not part of any WvW guild and fight with us every night. I respect them alot, because I know what it is like.

Those players are great and make up a large portion of our militia it would be near impossible to do anything most nights in my guild’s time zone without them. I want them on TS and I want more of them. As many as we can get, WvW guilds might be out every night but are smaller in number.

However for players who just bandwagon to get enough credit for their chest then we never see them again. Those players I can do without.

Not everyone who is ‘casual’ is a bandwagoneer. Not everyone who PVEs is a casual WvW player. Not every serious WvW player is in a big guild. The militia generally aren’t casual PVE players either, they’re usually a mix of guild players running outside core ops, and unaffiliated serious players.

I’d rather see casual uplevel noobs in WvW than some kitten who’s only in it for the skins.

If you want to be in the 1st place NA gold server, I’d suggest staying in BG, but it may be a while before it’s clear who will win NA gold. I never expected their current pressure to last as long as it did, but at this point I feel like the biggest threat to said pressure is the boredom of those involved.
