Hello there,

I went over the apps ‘GW2 WvW PPT’ and ‘GW2 Rushbox’ to see how they would work in WvW and if they are actually useful. I created a video on this which you can find right here!

In short, the apps are of good quality. They can really help out in both small scale and large scale. I personally use them for small scale as I am a Roamer (Wolfineer). What the app can do for you is tell you where the enemy is as you can see when they cap it as well as tell you if it’s of any use running to a specific camp as you can see the timers on the Supervisors.

So we could open a discussion, what are your experiences with these app? Do you find them useful or would you rather use millenium/mobile app?

Note: I am in no way sponsored by Overwolf, the community manager of Overwolf asked me to review the apps and since I was trying them out anyways I said why not.

I try rushbox after last reset. Timers where all wrong for me. Ofc I choose proper server.

Thanks for the rundown. I will stick to multiple monitors but if I only had one, I could see myself trying something like this.

Gw2 on main monitor
ts on second monitor that I only turn on to change ts servers or channels
ipad for gw2 reports.

I simply prefer a less cluttered main monitor. If you don’t have that access over wolf worked fine for me (before I had 2 decent monitors)

I like using the new wuvwuv one when we’re raiding and going for ppt and need to know timers, the only two drawbacks are it blocks the target name and hp bar, and I haven’t figured out how to close it, without shutting down overwolf. I use overwolf anyway for the ts name notifications, it’s nice knowing who’s speaking when you haven’t learned their voice yet.

I downloaded rushbox, was going to try that one next.

I have two monitors where the second one is usually on ts and wvwintel but minimal timers on the game screen are nice too.

You can create a hot key to hide banner, so you can see the HP bar and name again.
WuV^3 is the one I am using now too and the timers are pretty accurate.
The “clicking on the bar” for siege refresh does not work for me though (probably a “windowed mode vs. full screen thing”). I wish I could collapse the config window to a small button to get access to more sections of my screen and to adjust the location of the bar.
I chose this app, because it seems to be the one with the best functionality on the smallest available space on my screen. Other apps just take too much of my screen.
