Guild Wars 2

Complaints aside, I’d like to tell you about the most fun I’ve had in WvW!! I’ve server hopped so many times I can’t remember where I started! ( lie I started on Anvil Rock a week after release) I have done months of pve, years of wvw and spvp. I gotta say, the MOST fun I’ve had was on Far Shiver Peaks! Unfortunately it’s a EU server so doesn’t meet my schedule anymore but, that server was GREAT to be on when I could! What made it so great you might ask? Community and grit. They had almost the entire population on TS, there was not a single person who sought to save themselves over you, they focused on team play, they would fight to the death instead of running,we were ALWAYS out-numbered yet managed to win matches in t2 and t1 EU through coordination of guilds and commanders and roamers. I’m am not touting FSP as the way to go, but rather the mentality behind the server. Fight for your allies (don’t run to save your stacks) Fight for your server, take a turn scouting every now and then, suicide a camp to keep it, roam for a specific purpose (kill enemy re-enforcement’s and destroy supply lines!) Fight for your Server and get into that server’s community! It is a heck of alot more fun to fight with a purpose than not!! I feel like the next gen of gw2 players tacking over, and you are missing something…….

so this is how to recruit na people lel

I started out on Far Shiverpeak myself. It was a brilliant place to play, alas, internal strife tore the WvW population apart and caused massive internal debates. I left the server before the meltdown that caused several guilds to either leave or disband. The aggresive side of this feud was also in charge of the community forums and openly abused their powers there to further drive a vedge between the players, even the neutral ones.
Dunno if you remember AoA, Army of Albion. They had a great leader named CRYARA. He was responsible for holding much of the community together and when he started to fade out and later leave things went downhill.

The server is doing better now, AoA is still around and going strong, but like most WvW communities, it is not as friendly as it once was. Same goes for many other servers such as Desolation and also Tarnished Coast in NA.

The meta, or rather the complete stagnation of the meta, and the unwillingness to even try push a new meta has caused the whole mode to deterirate. Fun can still be had, but the people from before, the ones who made it fun, is gone, those left is bitter, aggressive and competing more fiercely over minute details rather then trying to include people.

Maybe OP did see dream because FSP haven’t never win any match in T1.

How can OP be considered recruiting when he clearly stated that he moved out cause EU time doesn’t suit him anymore, and also OP means matches as in fights… Which is what he means by his entire post… Not ppt wise

Just for the sake of accuracy.

Yes this is true but old news, so old it was almost forgotten about until i read your post.

FSP currently has drive, good internal communication and organisation, and a if they want it they take it attitude, you can siege cap your Garri all you want, if they want it they take it. FSP imo although not as strong as some other servers in the PPT, is getting stronger week by week. They certainly in my eyes offer the best fights EU and as far as a PUG blob vs PUG blob goes, I would probably go as far to say i’d favour the odds of them coming out victorious. Yeh they have a couple of weak spots as far as coverage goes, but you can’t deny they will always favour a good fight.

So yeh I totally agree with the OP if he was talking about the new FSP (after the drama), and no they never won a matchup in T1 (yet, but watch this space) but i assume he meant battles.

From what I gather as for this moment in time they don’t want to be stuck in the tier 1 cycle and want to float around 3-4 rank for fight and server match up diversity, but i’m sure somewhere down the line they will push for 1st and if they keep getting stronger like they have been I see no reason why they wont get it.

FSP always had strong pug zergs due to guilds including them, not excluding them. Like most other servers does. They once was in T1 around launch, perhaps they will climb back up.

Granted. EU T1 is not as stuck as people claim. Matchups are way more dynamic in EU, even in T1 then it is in NA, that goes for almost ANY NA tier.

Just to point out the current status of FSP:
currently we’re full on primetime, please do not join if you are a primetime player/primetime guild. Primetime guild will not be accepted by community. We could still use some extra force during early morning and 1-2 night commanders (no guilds).

I agree Fsp is one of the best eu servers out there, ofcourse we have some problems now and then with our community but usually that all sorts out well in the end. unfortunately due to some bandwagoners we lost alot of quality on some terrain, but overall we’re a very coöperating server, the amount of scouts is very big considering we’re primarily a fighting server and alot of guilds/commanders happily work together for the effort of the server.

unfortunately to see though that for some reason alot of other servers keep insulting us for hacking/doubleteaming/blobbing/ac whore/interrupting fights, but well there’s also something called yealousy i guess XD

So how do you determine new blood to be shunned from folks who play irregularly? Is there a group I need to register with to make sure I am of the old guard and not some scummy server transfer?

Maybe your community has problems cause you don’t welcome people that don’t fill a very specific niche roll.

we cannot force people not to play wvw ofcourse, but we won’t support them on our ts (no own channel) we won’t follow new tags etc.

We don’t want to be harsch against new community, however people need to understand our server is full. When more players join our servers, it will only result in bigger queue’s, so it will be alot harder for guilds to fully join in a borderland and pugblobs can have easily 30+ min queue on eb.

As T1 EU you need to be aware of bandwagoners, if you keep accepting new guilds to the server your server will lose its community because there is no “server feeling” Already one of our loyal guilds (RiOT) left because of the increasing queue’s.

Dang T1 EU is so different then NA

The problem with fsp is the wvw runs because of 1-2 charismatic person. If they dont play the whole thing collapse.
I prefer deso. I always return here

I’ll just enjoy the irony that you cannot see how your behaviors directly lead to every major issue your WvW has.

Despite some people/guilds acting and behaving like elitist, the server is fun
