Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’ve been searching the internet for a while tonight and have yet to find someone asking about this. My partner and I play the game together, always in a party. Tonight we decided to try out WvW; however, to our dismay, we found ourselves constantly being put on opposing teams. Why is this? Is it an actual thing, as in no matter what we will always be queued separately and have a slim chance of being on the same team? Frankly, if so, that is a huge negative for people playing together with people they know in real life. Hopefully I’m just missing something.

… you are on two dfferent servers. Check which ones. If you are the same color, you can at least join up in EoTM (rightclick party member and join instance).

Or one of you could convert some gold to gems and transfer to the others server.

Yet another reason why the server should be chosen on first WvW entrance, and not during first character creation.

Wouldn’t work. The servers store account information, so you need to be on at least one server before you log in the first time.

So give 1 free transfer to every new account. I get they want to make money but the megaserver really screwed things up, new players shouldn’t be discouraged from giving WvW a try because of anets mistake.

Or separate wvw/pve servers entirely. Just randomly assign new accounts to NA 1,2,3,4,5 or EU 1,2,3,4,5 etc, but let you pick a wvw server when joining WvW.

The WvW “server” doesn’t even need to be a own server, just a way to sort people out. This could also build the foundation for changing how servers work in the future.

WvW is essentialy Server v Server (v Server) so as others have said, if you want to play together in WvW one of you is going to have to pay a fee in gems to transfer. Depending on the server it could cost anything from 500 to 1800 gems, sadly.

Have a look in the login screen which server each of you is on, and some people in this subforum might be able to offer advice as to which of you is better off moving.

Give it a try separately first though, if you absolutely despise it it’ll save you a transfer fee

Currently, you cannot join cross server for party members, which is a pain. It would be nice if some allowances were made to let parties (<5) members in together, but with restrictions to prevent abuse. Examples would be only one server can be played on with a party per (time), account limited, or the option to join as a guild for while a WvW Guild missions is active, with a similar limitation. Unfortunately, that might require the entire restructuring of the WvW assignment system.

Easiest bet would be a server transfer, since even guesting doesn’t let you play on WvW… though allowing guests to WvW with hosts with similar restrictions might work as well…
