I picked Kaineng basically randomly when I started playing in January of this year. I didn’t play any WvW until March. Now it’s my favorite part of the game.
Kaineng has had a bit of roller-coaster ride in WvW with big guilds coming and then leaving. But WvW has always been fun there for me because I can get in at any time, I can roam solo or in small groups and feel like I can be effective (taking camps, etc), or I can join up with zergs and get into bigger fights (without getting the massive lag that others describe – though the sound does drop out on really big fights).
I’m guessing every server has its ups and downs, and I’m sure Kaineng won’t win season 1 of the tournament in the bronze league. But there seem to be a lot of good players who are fun to go to battle with here, and I’m often pleasantly surprised what a small group of players can accomplish.
So I’m wondering whether folks are having as much fun doing WvW on other servers, and if there’s a really fun part of WvW that I’m missing not playing there. I’m guessing there are some players who like participating in highly-organized competitions, and I’m sure there’s some fun in knowing that your server is likely to win or rank well. It feels like that wouldn’t be a good tradeoff for me if I had to deal with login waits or difficulty in accomplishing things solo, but I don’t really know what it’s like. So I’d like to hear what is making WvW fun for you – especially on higher-ranked servers.
In any case, good luck to everyone and have fun.
