Guild Wars 2

I stopped playing GW2 about 3 or so years ago, and recently returned. I enjoyed playing WvW from time to time (not my main play style, but I enjoy it all the same). That being said, when I left, our server was one of the servers that was always towards the bottom, but, again, I (along with many from my server) enjoyed playing it without the need to be the top on rankings.

Anyhow, when I returned, I see that our server is no longer one of the servers that competes weekly (and it appears that they are no longer weekly rankings, they are skirmishes?). The part I’m confused about, is that it looks like our server lumped together with other larger servers (which is fine), but from map to map it changes? I have yet to figure out how that plays into the bigger picture of WvW, and how I can determine which server I’m grouped together with on which map (if there’s an easy way to tell this before moving to another map). Also, what was the change from the weekly reset to the skirmish reset (time, benefits, etc.)?

Thanks for any insight people can provide.

No it doesn’t change from map to map. You are grouped with the linked servers until our beloved anet overlords decide to change it. This is essentially you new server ‘alliance’ – megaserver of servers.

Weekly reset still exist, except you win the week by the amount of skirmishes you win that week. It reduces the chance of runaway scores from happening towards the end of each week.

Ah, okay, I guess it’s just the color that changes on the different maps. Maybe that’s what I’m getting confused over.

Thank you very much for the explanation on this, it definitely clears it up now.
