Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering about what worlds/tiers are more active in the PST US time zone.

I’m a relatively new player still and i didn’t know how the tiers worked when I first started playing. I ended up in Tier 4 and the world is good, nothing against it as it has some great play at times, but most of it seems to be earlier in the day for me.

We have some good players and such but many are Euro or East Coast and by the time i hit my prime gaming time there isn’t much left at least on my world as there is often one or no tags and the raids are winding down more than building up. Maybe its my world as some of the others in my tier seems to be more active later than my own, idk.

I was also looking to move up to T3 but I am worried there that its mostly GvG dominated and there wont be much WvW still and it wont be worth the cost to transfer. I like GvG but most of those guilds are well established and not really looking for noobs to take part in the 15 mans.

Anyway, any advice appreciated as im kinda stuck in limbo right now.

Thanks

At least on SBI, the GvG thing hasn’t been an issue because our queues are not so crowded that it becomes an issue. Well, queues are a problem on reset night, but that’s pretty standard. Initially I saw some conflicts, but it seems like GvGs have been tucked away where I can’t see them and it would seem they run for a short period of time anyways. I can assure you that most people on this server aren’t into gvg and are extremely casual; generally into playing wvw. However, if you’re looking for something more hardcore, I would look elsewhere.

But honestly, with HoT coming so close, there might be a change in population, so I would recommend waiting until then to make any decisions.

PST gets in limbo a bit because we are kind of like off-hours and most off-hours only sees good action in the higher tiers which means we can end up getting blobbed, but in lower tiers it is like a ghost town.

My guild on Fort Aspenwood runs from 9pm PST up to midnight on Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri (and there’s a guild that starts at 11pm PST and runs into early OCX time). We take in new players and do a variety of things in WvW: from havoc to zerging. On weekends there is usually enough members around to pug together in WvW or run dungeons/fractals/etc. We have some players who also have their own guild that runs havoc on Tuesdays.

If you play earlier PST, there’s a few guilds I know of in lower tiers who run up to about 10/11pm PST.

If you are late PST, I would recommend T3 or above. TLC is a very good guild to run with from personal experience. It’s a great guild for newer players. They are on FA.

T4, as you are well aware, is more of an early mid PST experience. Things die down around 10 PM PST. Most of my raid logs off then which works out for us since we are really mostly EST/CST night owls. It’s pretty much havoc play after that point.
