Guild Wars 2

4-12pm most NA servers are “busy” but I’ve run into empty maps, empty as in empty on my side.

Where? Has to be a lower tiered server you say?

Nope. T1. I am on Tarnished Coast – and it’s second to JQ, not third. This is desperately wrong…

There isn’t a server that can go against Jade Quarry right now, not a single one and the fact that the scores show that there should be two servers aligned going against them is more obvious than I can even describe to those of you who have never been on a “Tier 1” server.

Right now Tarnished Coast is empty on maps – no opposition to Blackgate for us at times and Jade Quarry is a 24/7 destruction machine that even Tarnished Coast can’t hold off – we aren’t losing by a small amount.

So, because the map limit blobs against a server that should probably have sunk much farther down the list immediately after the season are not making for a fun experience, one where you have to fight but at least the fighting isn’t alone – or so outnumbered that the commanders turn off their tags (yes, really), I am very much in need of a server.

Local Time = GMT – 7:00 (Standard Time) – Around this time I want to play – I don’t sleep when others do so I would love to wreck havoc on camps, towers and keeps… soon.

You’re on the most populated Tier already dude… You’re not going to find other tier with more people…

You can try EU T1 tho…

Current T1 is what T2 used to be like a year ago.

Game is losing population faster by the month.

Last screenie I saw from a T1 friend was of 0 queued maps towards the tail of NA prime.
i was shocked.

If this is SEA, then the reasons for this current situation have already been discussed here and on the matchup forum.

There will probably not be any significant change to this situation during off-season for the reasons previously discussed in those threads.

If you are looking for reasonable play / fights / fun, you may need to transfer.

Good luck.

The number of WvWvW players has dropped down for many reasons (burn out from too long season, summer vacations, boring GWEN meta since Autumn 2012, same strategicy and tactics month after month). I can imagine that the low tiers are literal ghost towns except for few hours per day.

The situation here in EU T1:

Desolation usually has no queues to any map, besides 1-30 man queue to Eternal Battlegrounds in prime time (19-23 GMT). Sometimes we can get a queue to 3 of 4 maps, but that lasts very short time and doesn’t happen every day. The leading server, SFR, probably has longer queues.

We are officially slacking. Why to play at all full force after the leagues? The points don’t matter outside the season. If we drop down in points a bit, it is just better and allows more varied match ups. EU top tiers are more even than in NA.

We are not getting blown up or anything. The difference in points is quite small (within 15%):

Personally I don’t mind being outnumbered. It means more WXP. If enemy runs 2-3 big guild groups and we have just 3-25 people on the maps, I can still turn on my tag. Enemy will get bored as I won’t offer them loot bags (“Get on TS, pull out the moment the commander tells so”). If you are quick and sneaky enough, you can capture anything (not just supply camps and towers), but also enemy keeps. Borderhopping is valid strategy and all the servers do it on EU. At the peak of the prime time most the top 10 servers have roughly equal numbers at least on EB and own BL (might not have forces to spread more than 2 maps).
