Guild Wars 2

Hello Guys!

I’m playing my Chars on Gunnars Hold.
The last few days were hell.
We are dominated by the enemy.

Could it be that many players leave the server? (GH)
Does anyone know anything about it?

Many thanks for reply’s.

From what I know three big WvW guilds left for Blacktide. CiR being one of them.

There’s a specific G.H. forum, but yes – some large guilds have left for Blacktide to get into better timezone coverage. Mixing it up with the Xaoc morning crew.

Of course we were loosing before that as well, basically since the shift from 24 hour matches, due to lack of timezone coverage and that cost morale which now causes many people to seemingly leave or stay out of WvW.
Expect more weeks of this as the server tries to reorganize and we’ll find a lower spot on the matchup rank.

Weren’t thUn on your server too? They’re now on blacktide also.

Yes they were one of the guilds leaving for greener pastures.

I think the likes of thUn and CiR had an argument with KISS from what I’ve read and have since moved to Blacktide. There’s more information on the Guru forums for those interested.

So this could be the reason why we are losing so much?
So is this the beginning of the end?
I feel that we are inferior.

Above all, on the number of players!

Anesco it’s probably better to visit the Unofficial Gunnar’s Hold forums to find out what’s happening with WvW and the community at large .

The reason we’re loosing a lot is that we’re a server mostly made up by people who play at a specific time.
We did very well and matches most servers in the 24 hour matches and thereby ended up high on the scoreboard. We have (had) a lot of quality players who knew what they were doing.
But when matches shifted to week long we got hit very hard by lack of time zone coverage and that nightly score became way too large for us to overcome in our playtime – naturally, part of the game – but it caused havoc for some it seems.

This in turn then causes fewer numbers in WvW for the ones where score matters; because being outscored even more massively will cause more to opt out or give up.

There’s reorganization attempts on the server; and I recommend following the community forum for the server – but it will frankly be impossible for the server to ‘compete’ for quite a while, if ever, until we find a lower place on the ranking.
The question remains; how many will stay put on the server or in the game while waiting the weeks (or more) it will take to find that place.

We should one of the top ranked servers as we do really well on our prime time on an EU server but WvW is 24/7 as deemed by Arenanet so we are losing even though we do fight on our alloted timezone.

I’m guessing they’ll be more “elite” WvW guilds jumping ship to pastures new before the week is up but that’s what some guilds do to win no matter what the cost to the server they left.

We’ll still fight but it’ll be at a lower “rank” than what we are now unless Arenanet changes the rules in WvW (which is very unlikely) or we get some US/AUS guilds to transfer to our server.

I doubt that GH is dying.

It is just readjusting. there are many decent guilds on GH who are working on building the community there. If I had my way I would have happily brought many of them.
They may be small guilds but they carry there own weight more so than many guilds that are far larger.

The problem with GH is as stated here, it has a great presence in a very narrow window. As it is very difficult to get people in the choices are limited.

We decided the best way was to transfer to a server where there was a great spread of players accross time zones even though at the time of transfer they were losing badly and where we could make a contribution( Blacktide is making a comeback the last few days). GH and Blacktide are works in progress.

Dont bury GH just yet. Best of luck to Gunnar’s hold.

To our old allies there. My countryman said it best.

What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you.

I will look for you, I will find you… and I will kill you.

P.s. I have the accent to deliver that dialogue.

Well – whether it’s dying or not is too early to tell, but the rattle is there as the plummet needs to take place.
The ones leaving were just another nail in the coffin.

But each needs to look out for his own fun and if my guild were moving – I’d be right along side them.
