Guild Wars 2

Thanks everyone for the help. It’s unfortunate that we’re forced to forego our progress (5 level 27s is not something I want to go through again) to get a good WvW experience.

I hope anet will do something about this. Merging servers under an “alliance” (say, Eredon Terrace, Gates of Madness, and some others form the “Crimson” team) until there’s a sufficient constant activity in WvW would make it a lot more fun.

Switching servers costs too much money. Frankly, I think it should be free. But then, I have many issues with the business model as it is.

Does Anet actually read feedback? Or should I not even bother posting about my issues as suggestions? I’m really quite sick of posting thorough feedback only for it to be ignored, as it has on plenty of other game forums.

I’m a somewhat new player, having played several dozens of hours with 5 characters ranging from 26-34. I’ve had a taste of dungeons and fractals, and have spent a couple hours doing sPvP and WvW. I’m on Eredon Terrace.

But the thing is, whenever I try to play WvW I can rarely ever find others on. It seems impossible to figure out if your server is doing anything without cycling through all five WvW maps (EBG, BLs and EotM).

I want to play WvW more; I love the concept and if I had it my way, it’d be the only content I’d play. But I just don’t know how to figure out when activity is occuring.

The other problem is that when I do find activity, it’s generally horribly one-sided. It reminds me of Planetside 2, but even worse; either my team is just taking points without contest, or my small group of friends run into a gigantic horde of enemies.

So my question: How do you tell when people are playing WvW? Is there a way to play it more regularly? Do I have to switch to a more populated server? If I do, won’t my friends have to switch as well? Or is WvW just relatively dead? Are there WvW guilds I can join, and if so, do they hold scheduled events or is the population sufficient enough to “round up” a WvW squad? Finally, how do we guarantee that we’ll encounter some resistance?

Thanks in advance!
