Guild Wars 2

Sup gw2 d00dz

I quit playing in summer 2013 due to guild drama and my ongoing failures to bring servers into T1. I probably have about a thousand hours active playtime in WvW, probably close to a quarter of which was spent commanding. Back when I was commanding I pretty much had to play for PPT all the time, but it seems like a lot has changed and I’m really more interested in crushing blobs than anything else at this point.

Since I left I’ve been playing a lot of Eve Online, and coming back to the game now I have the mindset that I’m not so much looking for a clan or a server as I am a community. I am more interested in overall participation/coordination (whether in the form of robust backend stuff like Discord, or through more simple means like active map chat or effective intel relay between maps in-game) than numbers or coverage or kitten girth.

So, journeymen of Guild Wars 2, who’s got it? Where could I go to be best connected with the other nerds playing when I hop online?

Why do I recognise your name … you were one of the guys from Kaineng when we were over there years back with RISE RE CO and WM weren’t you?

What’s your prime time you want to play? And what server is your account on right now? reason I ask is TC, BG, DB, and JQ are all full … TC generally has pretty good community on comms nightly (I’m biased).

But I’m sure every server can say the same. BG’s always been one of if not the most coordinated. I think RISE moved to DB.

Yep that’s me. I helped lead Kaineng to their pair of victories in T2, and then Tarnished Coast went steamroller on us and FA and have been T1 or close ever since. I think CO moved to Dragonbrand after that, and basically died because the guild was handed to me in the middle of the worst year of my life and I didn’t have the wherewithal to run it.

I’ve seen some RISE in Maguuma but I don’t know if those are holdovers or where their main force is. I’m on JQ right now but I’m not married to it. I’ve been on their TS once since I came back a week or so ago, and I think they have a Discord server but I have no idea how active it is. I work 6am-230pm EST so I would actually probably be most active during EU and early USTZ prime unless something interesting is going on with internet spaceships.

Dang, knew I recognised that Sarabi name. TC was open last week briefly. We woulda loved to have ya, got a lot of good groups here. Not sure how busy JQ’s EU early NA rollover is – likely less busy than there overnight crews, but another good NA option is Maguuma. They always have a strong player base in your timezone all the way to PST. You probably get a good sense of how JQ is in the current t2 match against Mag’s during your timezone.

I’m sure JQ would love to keep ya too, as they can use some early NA tags. Keep an eye on the world status if you’re considering moving.

If your looking for a project you might consider FA, we’re at the bottom of tier 2 and in my opinion just lacking more commanders. Our militia is keeping us a float but we are slowly sinking. So if working for an underdog might interest you, give FA a look.

JQ is a good community and we need EU commanders. We use Discord not TS now due to ongoing DDOSing, plenty of people are on it when I play.

aaand moved to a slower forum, so no new responses. Thanks mods!
