Guild Wars 2

A plea for a few guilds to transfer to Devona’s Rest (US):

Devona’s Rest is one of the lower bracket servers, being one of the newly released servers. But this server really is organized and very good in prime time with no to very very little queues (usually none). We are very close to being very competitive, but when we are hit with a full pop server (almost every matchup the server above us in rank) we struggle to hold off their zerg attacks and always 1 map gets totally overrun as our numbers cant be everywhere at once.

This is where YOU and your guild/alliance can make the difference on our server!

Even outnumbered we’ve still managed to have 40k leads only to lose them through the night and mornings, showing the potential of this server.

We have a solid larger alliance which broke off i believe from the AA alliance on a big server, and an excellent smaller alliance, both transferring to the server to be able to play with their guildmates…each having a very good commander.

All we need on Devona’s is a few more med-large guilds and trust me this server will start to hold its own and push up into the top tiers, so come on guys dont get trapped on a server where you’re stuck in long queues and cant play with your guild, get over to Devona’s. Start to actually enjoy the game together in the lower brackets and be part of a server’s progression up the ladder alongside all your guildmates in this awesome community on Devona’s Rest!

p.s. – remember its just 1 button each to click to transfer, and its still free to do so right now!

This is all 100% accurate. Devona’s Rest is ripe to climb the ladder if it can just grow its community a little bit more. We’re looking for people who want to work with the server to climb from the bottom to the top, its going to be a long, fun and rewarding journey.

Extra need for late night and early morning coverage (based on NA time zones). When our guilds are out there and working together during prime time we usually hold a large majority of the points, its only around midnight EST when numbers start to drop as people go to bed and the other larger server always has a larger night population to take it all unguarded.

This… Is one of the best move to prevent night capping.. Unlike the night capping qq thread.. +1 .. Good luck Denova rest.. All the best

Appreciate the support!

The server had a meeting with lots of guilds last night and it went very well! Things are shaping up better for this server everyday. We’re still seeking more guilds that want to work together with this amazing community to get to the top.

Anyone with questions is always free to message me in game. Name is Fragg.

I recently moved to DR and my lvl 56 was almost instantly invited to a large WvW guild.

I was impressed last night when I saw the message concerning the guild leader summit. This is a good indication that DR is getting serious.

That all being said, DR needs to grow from a Zerg, no defense mindset and be more willing to defend what was conquered.

Leaders need to politely inform folks not to take supplies from towers and keeps. Yak herding really needs to stop. And finally, arrow carts are your friends.

I’m sure these issues will be sorted out however. I expect good things down the road for DR.

As another who recently moved to this server, this is all good to hear! WvW has quickly become one of my favorite things and I was hoping the atmosphere would be better here than on my previous server.

I think you will see a whole new side of DR tonight.

However I’m actually surprised to see the mindless Zerg word. Though we are starting to get some new to the game players so maybe they are running around and I don’t notice because I’m usually in organized groups. We hardly have enough people on maps usually to even be a Zerg haha

PTX invites anyone who wants to organize with them to join their TS server and coordinate. Message any member you’re running around with in game and they will give it to you.

The organization is definitely there on the server, and we do make sure we try to educated the new players rather than just complain about mistakes they make. I actually have a SS I took of my map chat last night as a new player announced himself and asked for advice and several people immediately gave him great tips. (on phone ATM tho)

Tonight will be interesting though indeed. People have been waiting to get serious about upgrading and defending, I know my guild has been stock piling siege and saving money for week long matches.

WvW is about to evolve to a whole new level.

Hello Velron, hope to run into you and your guilds tonight!

Last night I saw a group rush from tower to keep to tower destroying everything. There were no defenders left behind and absolutely no siege equipment built. Not surprisingly, all the towers and keeps were retaken within a short time.

That was why I mentioned a Zerg, because that’s what it appeared to me :-))

I mention this not to be a complainer or whiner, far from it. I feel however that Defense of Towers and supply depots is an opportunity for DR to step it up to the next level.

We at Retributuion just transfered from Jade Quarry to Devona’s Rest the night before last. We went from impossibly long que times and rarely ever getting to do WvW to almost insta pop’s and at the most a 5 minute wait in the que.

We are looking forward to working with the other guilds on this server to move us all up the rankings list.

In game contacts are Penumbral, Kratan, Meow Mix.
Our website is located here with registered public access for anyone who wishes to communicate with us.

Who is a good person for us to contact during prime time hours for organization?

Blankspace or Oroshi would be the best to contact for coordinatin with the PTX WvW team. There are others but can’t remember the surname to their names. You can also contact Fragg (me) in game and I’ll get you the best contact when I’ve got access to the full roster.

There’s also plenty of other guilds all running stuff every day. FIST, MoB, HIV, nMe, BP, Aeos, AO, Merc and more

DR has tough competition like Kaineng….lol

Ah yes, last night was a bit of an off night for us. We were trying to hold what we could with lower attendance (we had both Borlis pass land keeps and orb until numbers fell off)

Most of the guilds and WvW leaders were in WvW meetings preparing for the upcoming 1 week matchup and working on the alliance details. WvW had to suffer a night for it.

At the very least you’ll see us taking stuff, holding it, and fortifying it. We’re ready and excited!

Contact Grimaldi
And today was great on Devona’s. We lost everything overnight as usual, but it seems we have force in daytime now and wiped through 3 maps, was great stuff.

Few more guilds to us and we will really start to push on as a server

Bump for support and best of luck!

Maybe it’ll help to recruit guilds to merge with existing ones on DR by posting your guild’s current upgrades as well. I mean, that should take the sting off of losing all their upgrades at transfer if they can go into a guild that already has those upgrades.

Just my 2c

Awesome news! I was about to text my buddy and ask for an update in how it’s looking.

Losing the guild stuff on transfer does suck, but were barely a month into the game so, meh who cares, we can get it back in another month

exactly, we are already back where we were only 5 days after xfer

I’d bet you earn it faster on a server where you can actually group with your guild mates and get into WvW when you want too.

I know it can be earned back… what I meant is… why give up a few days of increased magic find/karma/w.e reward when the people moving are the ones balancing the servers?

I just feel like it’s a minor punishment to those with initiative.

I played a faction vs. faction game right before coming to gw2, and for a long time, one side is undermanned, morale was super low. Everyone was saying come reroll on the other side, try to recruit more players on the other side.

But most people stayed on the winning side due to time already spent, friends, alliances, etc.

The company (NCsoft) didn’t come out and give out proper faction incentives until the game was on the brink of dying.

I feel that’s not what should be happening with GW2, esp when Anet is so good at communicating with players, and we should reward those with initiative.

Still need Oceanic guilds, the server is really ready to climb once we solidify an off hours presence. Here’s how the night started off…

And then you can see what happens as it shifts toward late night time…

You are not going to have luck trying to recruit Asians and Aussies. They are entrenched in their current servers IoJ and Sea of Sorrows. Do yourselves a favor and YOU transfer instead of asking others to.

Devona sounds like a black woman’s name, does anyone else think so?

First off I want to throw out props to everyone involved in PTX, admerable intentions in pulling together a powerful forum of people. I do not say this lightly. I am currently on Northern Shiverpeaks and spoke with many of the PTX people during their transition into Devona’s Rest. There are a lot of good people going around. Northern Shiverpeaks(me) are doing quite well in the week long round-up, we did have an amazing guild join in the early start of the week long events.

I do hope that you are not getting discuraged with the limits given by the “state of the art server pairing system” currently not working. It should get better once the server transfers fall off of “free”.

Quick story. I can personally vouch for PTX’s capabilities. I was rolling through eternal battlegrounds the other day to run across their forces. A+ on vocalizing forces and almost birdlike movements. I kid you not they all turned as a team and moved in perfect sinc.

Keep up the good work and hit me up any time in game even if just to chit chat. Mane toon = Kages

My small guild [ECHO] transferred over this weekend to try and do our part in building this server up. Cant wait to see how things turn out, see yall on the battlefield.
