Guild Wars 2

I’m trying out WvW for the first time but how do I tell which battleground has any teammates in it? They’re all like a ghost town.

Also, how do I tell where my teammtes are in the current battleground? I went to check out a “battle” on the map but it was just the other 2 realms fighting. I got steamrolled with not a single other teammate near me.

Is there any way to see where my realmmates are (aside from those within 5 feet of me)???

Find a battle ground with your tower/keep. Usually someone around defending them unless you play during off hours.

- Ask in map chat where people are
- Join a WvW guild to coordinate

Chances are if your server was getting steamrolled then no one would actually be there. Server reset will see numbers come back again, then you can play to your hearts content.

You can only see people who are ‘near’ you .. so just cause you don’t see anyone when you press M does not mean there is no one there

Right. That’s what I’m asking.

It seems so obvious to implement a simple “X # realm-mates playing on Y battleground”. Seriously ArenaNet, why not? Should take about 5 minutes to implement.

^ you dont want to give players any kinds of tools that would help them show indications of a crowded game, or of lopsided matches…. not yet at least :P

Why not?

At the very least they could allow seeing dots for teammates at any range. The limitation to 50 feet is completely flabbergasting… ???

find where the zerg is by asking. or roll a mesmer and make your own.
