Guild Wars 2

hey guys, I’m new here. just dled the game and will try it tonight or maybe in a few days.

I am a hardcore PvPer and back when playing MMOs, I was mainly focusing on World PvP. I left because at the end, there wasn’t any. I understand that GW2 is very different, but I am looking for a server where PvP is primary focus.

I have heard that if I play on a very high pop server, the queues would be 5-6 hours on weekends. is this true? are these queues for WvW? why so long? in the end, what would be the best server to join for PvP and why? thanks in advance.

There are no 5-6 hour queues. And a T2 server would be your best choice, seems to be the general consensus.

Any of the servers in Gold or the top of Silver are good. Having said that, and assuming you’re talking about NA servers, you’ll probably have the most fun on JQ, TC, or SoS. JQ or TC if you’re into winning. SoS is also a good choice because they get the widest variety of fights, though they do not play the ppt game. Lastly, BG is a good server, but I’d advise against going there at the moment in order to spare yourself some frustration and boredom due to current match up politics.

Depends on what you are looking for. If you wan’t to join blobs and run big trains then you can go to JQ, TC, SoS or BG. If you are looking for smaller scale/skill demanding fights then I suggest lower tiers (Silver league servers)

The best server for PVP is European server Gandara because it is the Moon Fortress.

thanks for feedback all. I joined JQ.

Grok, how do you know which servers are T2?

what’s tier 2 mean? more advanced server with better guilds?

its how the servers are matched up against each other based on rank so top 3 servers fight each other in tier 1 etc the winner of tier 2 matchup usually moves up to tier 1 and the losing server of tier 1 usually moves down to tier 2. People generally think the players on lower tier servers are more skilled because they run in smaller groups personally I think this is true to an extent regarding silver league servers but I think all gold league servers blob anyway

the ranking and tiers sort each server by active wvw populations. so T1 servers have more people playing wvw at all hours than T2 servers etc.

Small group WvW stuff in t1 use to be viable for awhile, but now its pretty terrible.

You rarely see a TC without 10+ behind them or see a BG without a full map queue behind them. The few BG you find in smaller groups generally put up a better fight than TC.

If you go to the low tiers you find more small scale, although unless you only play on prime time you’ll probably be suffering from a lack of any action.

Honestly… T1 through T3 is your best bet. I have to take away points from t1 right now as I find myself fed up with the zergs more often than not lately.

On T1 servers you’ll find people in WvW during all hours . Coverage is king due to high amount of players. But this usually leads to big zerg vs. zerg wars.

You will find good guilds in both T1 and T2.
The difference between T1 and T2 is not the guild quality but coverage and communication/organisation.

NAT2 has 100x better guilds than T1. No one in T1 except for APeX can beat the likes of HOPE,PYRO,ARK,AGG,NS etc
