Guild Wars 2

Just spent like 5g upgrading towers in last 2 days and just watched a mindless zerg following so called “commanders” milling around in front of an enemy keep instead of defending a tower literally 15seconds away from them.

I think this is the last straw for me I cant accomplish anything on my own so I need to find a guild of like minded individuals to play with. Also would prefer a server that doesnt get kitten at night so that there is a slight chance that I may log in the next day and still see the fruits of my labor.

Looking for the same thing , so sick of kids with A.D.D that cant wait for the fight, they must run out into the open field to die. Or all the O.C.D people that just have to dump all the supply into an outer wall being Trebed. I tried FA heard it was hardcore wvw server LOL not even close , these people could not defend a lollipop from a baby , they are at 25 points right now , lets see how you do in tier 4 where tactics are going eat you up

What server are you on? EPIC on Sanctum of Rall have amazing defensive abilities, we are equally as good at offense too but will defend anything with our strongest will

Great guild, great players, have lots of fun but also get things done and keep what we have.

BORN upon Sea Farers Rest are defense Heavy normally. I’d have a word with them.

Why don’t you try joining one of the hardcore FA guilds.

Hoping that I can find a decent guild with mumble that will actually coordinate for defense. Maybe Im crazy but it would seem that taking a tower and camp in enemy territory and actually running supplies and defending would be strategically smart. If you can keep 30 enemies busy with 10 for a while you should have the advantage somewhere else.

Which tier are you looking at? NA or EU?

I’d say it will be pretty tough to make a decision from a bunch of people posting about their own specific guild choice without hearing or seeing them in action
… but to rep my server, as I feel Yak’s Bend is a top choice to start your search,

I’d suggest taking a look at http://www.yaksbend.com or hop on the community mumble at www.yaksbend.com port 3850 and hear for yourself to see who you are compatable with.

Most of the active WvW commanders login to the above mumble to coordinate between guilds / teams, so the attack/defend response times are pretty low and the coordination is really great across our server.

I’m not really pointing to any specific guild, but I’ll specifically recommend/give a shoutout to one of the Yak’s Bend commanders, Honeystick. He goes around, upgrades, and puts a focus on defense. Maybe contact him and see where that goes.

Good luck!

Im in NA. Does performance suffer on a EU server if I am in a eastern time zone?

We don’t have mumble but you can come to Jadequarry we are very active and are very very tenacious on defense (We held our garrison on our home BL for 3 hrs with no walls or gates (they had already been broken by lots of trebs and golems) Let me know )

I don’t think performance is that big of an issue when you go overseas, though I personally don’t know.

I would suggest you come to T7/8 EU, there a single player like you at night matters a lot more.
Might I suggest coming to Ruins of Surmia ?
We have the second lowest night time population of the Eu servers, so we are sort of forced to defend our reinforced towers and keeps at night. But fear not, it is not like the enemy has a big zerg, during that time you will have the best experience while defending against a bigger number of players.
Try us out for a week.

This really might be the server for you, Maguuma, the best defenders I’ve played with, they play more defensively than offensively. Hell just about every night we defend random objectives for hours. I remember how we defended our one supply camp from both servers attacking us back to back for over 4hours. They eventually gave up and we went on our way to capture the keep. Most fun i’ve ever had hands down, also someone picked up a precursor from one of the invader drops. I’m not trying to recruit you to the server, but if you are interested in heavily defensive servers trust me, maguuma is for you, we defend keeps for hours, even towers and camps. Our commanders will literally stop what they are doing to go back to defend our stuff before even attacking.

Even as soon as white swords pop out we call it out on the server mumble and all hell breaks loose for small man groups trying to flip camps/towers. If you want more info, shoot me an in game mail, and ill explain more of the stuff we do, but thats generally the gist of it. Also i came to maguuma unintentionally because my intended choice of server was full, but it turned out to be 5x better than what i hoped it be, an uphill battle with lots of casual players who actually defend.

Also i have no guild for you to join because i just stick to my one man guild because the server shares a mumble which a majority of the player base use so i didn’t feel the need to join a big guild, because it’s not guilds that are coordinated in maguuma, it’s the server, but if you want a big guild, I’m sure guilds like DV or ACM or RMNT and other guilds wouldn’t mind having you join (not sure on their number counts), i would test the water out first with the server before choosing a guild.

Hmm .. all the sweet-talking .. geez, I hope I don´t get Diabetes from ya guys.

My dear friend. Defence of a fully upgraded tower .. provided with siege weaponry in advance & stocked with supplies, is a business of 5man party – for easier work on TS/Ventrilo/Mumbe – alto it´s not really necessary. And a hot coffee, cos you´re able to defend it for at least 3 hours – or until the enemy gets bored, desperate & rage quit.

You can not lose a tower if you are prepared, know what to do & have done some research (plenty of guides, threads on forums & I think a number of youtube vids are dedicated to this topic as well). I participated at defence of Bay .. that freaking thing was without supplies, and a single upgrade .. for two hours – nobody of our side decided to cap camps & hold them – what for? But commande Mouggari lead the defence & it went well. We did lose it in the end .. but we “stalled” for two hours.

Aanyhow .. if you want “hardcore” defencing .. then look for a German guild " Löwe" .. don´t remmember the specific server – but if you´re lucky, they might operate on more, or have a webside. Always when frontline guilds ventured into enemy territory, I got to listen to their “horrors” from there .. they encountered this guild on every fortification they came to .. each siege was prolonged by at least an hour .. they even build ballistas & hold supply camps .. these guys have the numbers & tactics to hold, or stall in defence their entire borderland .. and are one of very few opponents I enjoyed to listen about.

Second “server” I would recommend you, is RoF & their ICON guild .. server is low on numbers, and is quite low in ratings .. but these guys are able to hold their garrison 24/7 .. even when being assaulted & starved for 5 hours! .. in the meantime, send 20x ppl out to your territory, build 1-3x golems & flip your garrison within 2min ( unlucky – if not guarded ). Nuts!

.. or you can come to Underworld & follow me for a week – I´ll give ya at least basic training in defending .. hmm .. they might be also a free spot in [GuM] but these guys specialize in one tower – NE citadel tower only & tactical missions thrue out the main Border.

Last thing last – CHOOSE wisely! Since November, the transfer between servers is limited to a week .. but in the end – you can become a vagabond & explore more servers – enjoy your life. Good luck in your search.

If you’re willing to consider EU I’d like to throw out an invitation to join Extraordinary Gentlemen [EXG] on Desolation. We’re not a massive guild but do have WvW events every two days and more over the weekend with attendence in the region of 15-25 players. We also have a few players from the US and are looking for an officer for your timezone.

EXG plays more defensively and we’ll often be delegated for defensive duty by the server Alliance. We make a difference and you won’t simply be a number for the body count. Take a look at http://www.exg-guild.com/ and head to the forum section if you’re interested, we’d be glad to have you with us.

Furthermore there is IRON, our server’s largest and most active WvW guild. If defence is your game, they may be your guys.

If looking, on Sanctum of Rall, we defend as well as attack.

Epic, TW, Fate, CDS, Choo and more, all are used to setting up defenses and trying to hold off enemies. While we can also attack, most guilds on SoR work in conjunction with other guilds via team speak, so we don’t have everyone on the offensive, and no one defending. We try to keep all areas covered as much as we can, especially with limited numbers.
We also recall to maps, if needed to avoid losing towers/keeps if possible which have been upgraded. (Like yesterday we left EB and recalled to IoJ/SOR BL to defend upgraded keeps.)
