There is another thread on this about Eyefinity too… but basically it looks like they made an error.
Throwing in the same issue as others on an eyefinity setup. I bugged it ingame and attached a screenshot – but its annoying as all heck to play GW2 atm with the UI elements taking up all the space on the main screen and the side monitors have all open space.
As an elementalist the answer to that question is yes. Unless you have the ability to have others tag up and control the map from a scout location, you will need to have a high degree of toughness.
Loss of the symbol in a battle is difficult to recover from. An Elementalist tends to have lower life and armor abilities than Heavy Armor users. You have plenty of abilities to help you along, but in the end Power, Toughness, Vitality, and some Healing will be your bread and butter.
I have led quite a bit across multiple servers and I exclusively play an elementalist. I am very bias to a defensive build for an Elementalist that commands/pins up. But with the reduced cost of gear from badges you can try it out for yourself.
Ok thanks for the picture. I talked with some folks tonight and decided to try out what I had been told. I went ahead and tested this out tonight based on the screenshots. The same mechanic that exists on the inside being able to shoot out (Cats and such), exist the other way also. Its the hole in the top of the door that allows anyone (but its easier for people with higher resolution) to rotate the camera view to see the ground on the other side.
So first off, my resolution is 6000×1080:

Example of how you can see the inside. I tried to set up the placement as close to the picture given as I could to a similar tower:

And for the record, I’m not the only one in the guild with this kinda setup, but here was is my rig that was built specifically for GW2, just to show I have 3 screens and I do play the game (even in WvW) on all 3:

I actually spoke with ER about this incident and I will agree that ArenaNet really needs to fix that hole above the doors (where they exist). Siege from both sides should stop at a door when it hits it.. even Catapults on the door which has become the norm for the AE explosion on the door to kill rams. But no 3rd party software or modifications to my client were done to get this result.
The hole gives line of sight to both sides though (be it Balistas, Cats, or Arrowcarts). I therefore have concluded that this was not an exploit.
Based on this statement:
Why do you have to use cam-bug with arrow cart to crash our door-counter-blueprints inside our redlake-tower @ VZ-BL in a maybe 35vs5 situation?
I will investigate the situation and attempt to determine if the issue was caused by one of my folks or if it was individuals following the commander tag. Without further information it is a little tough to determine when exactly this happened (As most of the evening that Tower was left for the breakout event and then reflipped. I think it changed hands around 9 times while I was on alone), but assuming this was about the time of the post (9 hours ago), that would put this ocurring under my watch.
If as mentioned you have any Screenshots please send me a private message on this site and I will provide you an email address to send them to me.
Thank you.

This is from the FAQ but it is very good information:
If you have a Large Guild that Can Make a Difference, you also have an Opportunity to Test Some Servers. Send 10 people to a bunch of different servers for two weeks. Band together under the same guild name and see if anyone actually reaches out to you in game. Monitor the performance in WvW and the communication between people.
What I am going to disagree with in the FAQ is that the top servers have long Queues. With the exception of Friday night resets, Queues just don’t exist on maps and those that do are less than 20 mins. There is no longer a thriving WvW population anyplace (T1,T2,etc). There are dedicated WvW Guilds and I love every one of them and applaud them for their efforts. Take your time… look around and use the server transfer option to try out those you are more interested in.. then go for it.
While I would love to have you join me on my server, it sounds like you are looking at some specifics already. I encourage you to check out each and make a move that is better for you and your guild. The upper tiers can sometimes feel like jobs and the lower ones can sometimes be lonely, so I see what you are shooting for here.
