Wanted to make a note that not everyone will be posting in this thread. Some people are happy to participate with a guild on a personal level but would like to maintain their privacy in public and we will be honoring that.

A couple have asked that I post a greeting for them:

Zach Stiers will be screaming “Not in the face!” and will be running for cover…I mean Zach Stiers will be ferociously fighting for the honor of Unbreakable Dynasty on Black Gate. :P

JoAnna Frazar will bring devastation and tears to all who oppose her and her new guild Midnight Mayhem on Gunnar’s Hold.

Hello!

I couldn’t pm because of the 2 day spam filter so here goes…

I don’t know if it’s too late but thought I’d give this a try. I’m a member of small guild HotR (Heroes of Tyria’s Return). We have about 10 core members, most who’ve been together and playing since guild wars 1. We run in ages from 20-35. We do pair up with another guild MEAN (I Am Vindictive) occasionally to get a larger group when needed. We don’t typically run with the zerg; instead we prefer to run a “havoc squad” stealing towers and taking off before we can be caught. Just generally causing mayhem and distracting the enemy zerg. We use raidcall or teamspeak depending on preference.

The character I run in wvw is Muse of Charon and my account name, is roxy.4609 We’re on Darkhaven in the central time zone. We’re usually on sometime between 5-10 pacific time. We’re pretty casual with playing times, but if a dev needed a structured schedule, I’m sure we could arrange that. Or, if he/she just wanted to casually pop on when he/she had time, that would be fine too.

We hope to hear from you soon, and thank you for your considerations!

I sure hope there are more devs than there appears to be playing in the silver and bronze leagues. So much for spreading themselves out ^__^

Oh, and a reminder to all the Dev’s, DO NOT be shy to speak up! There’s so many roles to be filled in WvW, I encourage you to try them all out. Let someone know what you’d prefer to do. If you like havok, let us know. If you like zerging, let us know. We’re all here to have fun together.

Hi Harris,

Most of the devs participating have found a new home at this point. I’m keeping sign ups from devs open for a few more days in case there are any stragglers. A couple of devs were out last week but let me know they want to sign up as soon as they get back. I’m sorry if you don’t get matched up this time around. We had far more sign ups than we have devs available.

Thanks,
John

Hey everyone!

Thank you all for stepping up to volunteer for this program. I am pleased to announce that I have been taken in by an EU guild on Kodash. I’m excited to embark on my new WvW journey, and experiencing the Fall Tournament in my new home, with Visceral Effect.

I’d like to give a big thanks to the vE guild for adopting me. I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to participate in the tournament from an EU guild’s perspective. I will miss my guilds on NSP (and I’ll try to hop back over from time to time to say hello while EU is sleeping), but I very much look forward to the feedback and experiences we will all share through this initiative. Together, we’ll make a better WvW!

Much wuv,
Wubbuffet

We are thrilled having you with us Jessica! Lets do this! We will make sure those evil rams won’t get anywhere near you this time around <3

I am wondering if the devs will have the same queue length we got yesterday night on reset. I do not really find the way to describe it ! (discourage to play WvW as guild, because it was not possible with a lot of guildies crashing and going back to queue was so frustrating !!!)
Anyway, have fun all devs and players for this new WvW season

I dunno about you but every EU guild that a dev chose is WvW dedicated (as far as I know). And about the 2 on Kodash those just happen to be 2 of the best WvW/GvG guilds in EU. So yeah. Not unfair. They’re just better.

So this is about the best guilds getting the devs? I can name better guilds than the ones who got devs that did not get devs. So yes, it’s unfair. Also if you don’t know if they are dedicated WvW guilds, which you don’t, do not try to correct me.

In my oppinion they made a realy good choice, at leas in the EU… 3 of them are realy good WvW and GvG guilds, so the devs get some pretty good insight into the GvG scene (i hope)!.

He was playing elementalist.
He was well….decent, considering we were fighting 50+ blobs with a lot of random damage.

I like how enemy also had a Dev with them so it was a Dev vs Dev epic mortal combat.

How can you write a good app? The app is just info, like names,times,places etc…
Also they will not get a good insight at all. They probably will from Dius, but the other 2 “GvG” guilds I don’t think will give a good “insight” considering one of them is in the wrong tier and one of them dodges constantly.

Finally, I wanted to give a big thanks to my new guild. A kind soul (who likes soul-reaping) saw me in the window and took me home to the kind folks of DmD on Devona’s Rest. I had a great time playing with my new family and I’m really looking forward to the weeks ahead!

Thanks!

I’ll be thinking of you every time I ask ‘was that enough damage?’

DmD has a pretty impressive organisation – they had us bouncing all around the map yesterday around midnight, trying to figure out where they were taking their omega golems. At some point we figured they’d probably waypointed to take Bay. Sure enough, we were right… but we were right a couple minutes too late.

Late at night, but you were in for a treat if you took part in that one.

I was indeed part of that! At first I was part of the squad creating a distraction. Of course I managed to create a distraction by losing that squad and getting a half dozen of you to chase me for a couple of minutes while I ran in the wrong direction.

Later I was in on the golem attack. At one point though I stopped to res a fallen ally and ended up spending the next few minutes staring at the cliff that someone banished me over! I swear no good deed goes unpunished :P

I hope you will all have a lot of fun in WvW, and that you will be able to experience the awesome communities there are in our game-type.

I was wondering whether you have any feedback planned to follow the initiative up with after the tournament ends. Perhaps a short list of impressions from being more involved on the player side of the experience?

I for one would like to hear how you experience the goods and the bads of wvw, especially the ones the forum community has been very vocal about (broken point system, coverage, griefers draining supply etc.)
