Guild Wars 2

As many of you know, at least those who play on servers with lower populations. Since the addition of Mega Servers, it has become almost impossible to recruit players, and ask for assistance when it comes to World vs World. What i’m suggesting is a chat like /world /server or something of the sort that would allow you to directly communicate with players ONLY on your native server. Ever since the great migration, and the addition of Mega Servers, it has become practically impossible to ask for assistance in WvW. Half the time I am speaking to the people we’re currently versing, and am met with hostility. Why is there no such chat command to allow us to communicate with our server only? Will the Mega Server pairing ever work as it was stated when first added? I miss being able to goto Lions Arch and speak in all Caps asking for assistance and actually receiving it, instead of insults from our current match ups. Please take this into consideration and hopefully leave a response of some sort.

This is very true. Unfortunately servers that did not have free transfers for the tournament seem to be underpopulated for WvW and its nearly impossible to go to LA/Vigil (at the time) to get more people into WvW to help. A server/world chat would be a viable solution, even it is to be used only by the active commanders in WvW for recruitment purposes.

I agree with this, we need to be able to communicate when we need extra help… we used to go and recruit in lions arc all the time before the mega server we have a team chat for wvw, why can’t you just implament the same thing there

I was waiting for a post of this sort for a long while, i think its pretty obvious that they should introduce that server chat , or just switch team chat to that. As simple as it seems it is also very vital for WVW based players, we need to be able to rally people into wvw and get more audience, call for help when it is most needed. WvW is already not that rewarding why make it even harder to rally up people. I agree 100% with you and i support you. Anet please take action towards this topic it is VERY IMPORTANT i cant stress it enough! and once again thanks for the post

the less populated servers struggle enough when it comes to wvw and now we can’t even recruit in LA for more players. Please Anet if you are reading this, I love the megaservers but we NEED a server chat. Or at the very least take lions arch out of the megaserver.

I’ll +1 this suggestion as well. I like megaservers but I miss chatting with my actual server mates. i always end up talking to someone and they’re like “oh i’m not on your server…” then it just gets really awkward

+1 this should have been implemented when the megazerger mess was put into place.

We need the cities to be taken off of megaserver unless they can implement a cross-map server chat. Megaserver was a great idea for PvE maps, helps new players a lot to have a well populated map. At this time the #1 event in LA is afk-ing at the bank, something I am pretty sure does not require assistance.

Server chat could work as well, but will need to work across different copies of the map for it to be fully effective. I do not know if this is something that could easily be done.

Please ArenaNet take action on this as soon as possible – I am on a server that has a large PvE population that we used to be able to tap by annoucing golem rushes etc., and not being able to do this is really hurting our WvW.

+1 I need to be able to go to maps and ask for help when my server is getting whomped, when half the people receiving the message are from other servers, this tactic is effectively nullified.

and It’s very difficult to recruit and build a WvW guild when the megaserver lumps you in with everyone else.

World chat would be a great solution.
PLEASE ANET. PUHLEAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEE

World chat is most likely the best solution if they insist on megaserving everywhere.

I agree! Ever since Mega servers have been implemented it is impossible to rally more players to WVW.

I was saying this to my guild when the megaservers came in, and I was on a lower server at the time. Megaservers were great for the PvE community but they kinda did a number on the WvW community by making things far more complicated than they should be.

How are you supposed to recruit/rally for WvW in Lion’s arch when you don’t even know what server you’re talking to?

How can you be social and invite new players to the server TS, without getting a bunch of people from other servers trolling it?

Please think about this, even if server chat is too hard to implement and you only remove Lion’s Arch from the megaserver system we could roll with that.

+1 to this! /15characters

A global server specific chat seems like it would be the easiest (and probably best) solution to trying to recruit people from your own server for guilds and WvW purposes. +1!
