Guild Wars 2

I am just curious if we know what is being added to wvw or even a hint. I am sticking it out on SBI and it is getting worrisome in all honesty. I usually play in the mornings and the past few days there has not been a commander on any map, nor has there been enough people to start the break out events. In fact last night we had 2 commanders on a borderland map fighting for control and telling players to not listen to the other one because of lack of man power to follow 2 commanders

I really don’t want to server transfer, and wouldn’t need to if people had not freaked out. I was fine with the major guilds leaving but the mass exodus that followed from people being worried has had more of an impact than the few major guilds leaving. It makes me so upset because we would have been fine, and now I am finding myself doubting. I honestly hope that once we move to the correct tier- even if it is last place- we have enough people to at least have something going on in wvw. I am hoping that the new wvw additions do not have a player requirement for us to use them like the break out events.

I want to stay here on SBI, but I also enjoy wvw. Am I basically screwed? They say they are adding things, but are we still going to need more people than we have to use them?

Couple of things going on. First 90% of WvWvW players on the server fled. Second we have a whole slew of people not playing, mostly waiting on us to slip. Third, we may gain more players, just not what we had, as more hardcore guilds seek a challenge and smaller fights, such as AoN. Lastly, it all hangs on us eventually, even if we slip to tier 9, which seems probable, WE(SBI) have a direct ability to effect this. No one is going to help us. So its kind of a simple decision. Either you go and be happy elsewhere and be able to just log in, run around with the zerg and be militia OR you be happy here with the challenge. Cant sugar coat it though, its really bad right now, only going to get worse ;D

Oh I don’t mind a challenge.. and not planning going anywhere- I would like to be able to have something to do in wvw though.

I just hope that there are not number restrictions placed on the new wvw add ons. It is so frustrating to try to get a break out going, and only have 7 people on the map so I would hate to see all this new wvw stuff added and not be able to use it because it is not accessible due to low numbers.

I understand. Try and utilize www.stormbluffisle.com . If you are on an offpeak timezone, or peak for a non US citizen rather, you might need to take up reigns as a commander or atleast rally people until one is on. A whole lot of chaos right now, going to take a few for things to settle.

Why are some unable to play without following a commander around? Where I play people are able to run around on their own and in small groups without following a pretty blue icon. If your server has commanders that don’t know how to lead, people shouldn’t be listening to them. Sometimes players are much better off thinking for themselves instead of being told what to do.

I believe I speak for all of TC when I say that we have nothing but the utmost respect for SBI. You guys have been dealt a raw hand and I’m impressed in those who stayed (and those who joined). I’m not certain I would have had the willpower to do the same. Keep up the good fight and I wish you the best.

We DO play without a commander since there are many times we do not have one. Did not think that was the main point to be taken from my post.

Ok, then I misunderstood. I was basing my comments on your multiple references to commanders in your first paragraph.

You aren’t going to know how well pvp is going to be on your server a few months from now until it IS a few months from now. You can transfer, but I’m sure you are well aware that every transfer is risky. You just don’t know what kind of battles you are going to get, despite people’s claims that such-and-such server is great, or such-and-such server has a massive population with no queues ever (lies), or such-and-such server sucks. And of course it’s going to depend on time zone, other people’s choice of where to play, who transfers where, etc. etc. etc. But you already know all of that.

I am on a last tier server and am absolutely loving the WvW action. I enjoy it much more than I did when we were on a t1/t2 server. But that’s just me.

Transfer if you want. Stay if you want. We can’t tell you what you should do. Only you know that. If it were me I’d stay as I find action on lower pop server to be more intense and more interesting, but I also don’t like large zergs.

So…. we can’t tell you what you should do. We can only speak for ourselves. I hope you are able to figure out what’s best for your play style. Best of luck!

Not transferring, just hoping that the new wvw additions that are being added soon are not something that is restricted by numbers. That is all I am saying.. I guess I didn’t say it in the right way idk.

I am staying on a server, sbi, that lost many of its wvw players. I am just curious if the new wvw additions will have number restrictions on them like the break-out events have. Like Stargazer requires 10 people to be there to start.. well sometimes there are not 10 people on the map. I hope this is something that is being considered and there are new things implemented that maybe 1 or 2 people can use while being in wvw not basing everything on 10 people before you can use it.
