Guild Wars 2

Is this an alright thing to do, or is it seen as wasteful and unneeded?

I’m fairly new, but alongside two other players I spent about 20 minutes upgrading one place and defending against the three to four player groups that showed up.

It was surprisingly fun! I’m a Ham/Bow warrior, so I mostly stayed with my hammer and attempted to stun-lock enemies so that the thief and elementalist fighting along-side me could plow through everyone with as much damage as possible.

I only ever ran into trouble with one Warrior that kept stability on himself. Since I was capable of doing the same, it was a pretty close fight.

That’s how you get fights.

What about when a large zerg comes in and tosses out all of your work?

That’s why most long-time WvWers learned to not worry too much about whether the objective stays upgraded.

Is this in the borderlands or EBG? If you are wanting to upgrade a single location, it really has to be one of the keeps in your own borderlands. It’s very important to have scouts there telling people what’s going on. If there’s just a small group at the tower, you can repel them with an AC or cannon. If a zerg gets there, you have to call for help on map chat and see if a commander can come to the rescue.

Your other option for checking upgrades would be on your EBG side cycling among towers and your keep or SM checking on their progress and seeing if there’s any resistance but that would be more than one structure you are interested in. It wouldn’t really be worth it just to stay in one structure on EBG unless it’s SM.

This example happened in Eternal Battlegrounds, however, if it’s easier to maintain in the borderland I’m probably going to start spending way more time there.
