Guild Wars 2

I have a friend who is on another server. He switched from mine so he could be with an old guild. I stayed because I had started up a guild a few other friends. The guild I helped start is fairly casual, whereas my friend who switched joined more of a dungeon running guild.

I can get through Story modes fairly easy with pugs or running with guildmates, but when I want to do explore, I want to run with my friend who switched servers. I tried to do this last night, but was unable to. I was the only one off server, and the rest was full of my friend and his guildmates. When the group completed and somebody entered, I got the message telling me, “Join group in dungeon?” When I clicked “enter”, the box went away and then nothing else happened. I thought it strange, so I tried walking through the portal. This time, it started a completely new instance for me when clicking “enter explorable”. Everyone exited, and we tried again. Same thing happened at first. Though, this time when I tried to walk in, it said again “Join group in dungeon?” Clicked “enter” did nothing.

Can cross server runs no longer happen? Or was this just a massive bug?

I personally think this is ruining WvW. There really isn’t a way to fix it. But I hate it.

I’m a casual WvW player. I queue up every once in a while. My first WvW experience was fantastic. We were protecting an orb. The enemy attacking the gates. The battle lasted over 35 minutes. Just at that one gate. And it was spectacular. Back and forth. Enemy kept coming and coming. But we held them. It was a lot of fun.

I don’t see this anymore. At all. I don’t see strategy. I don’t see communication. Maybe it’s just my server, but all I see now is an enemy guild zerg, which I’ll add requires no skill whatsoever, simply numbers, cap an objective, followed by doing the same at another random objective. You cannot match them most times. And they always get what they’re going for because they scout what is undefended. It sounds strategic, and maybe in a way it is. But it takes the fun out of it for the defenders. I want those back and forth battles again. The hard fought tactics and strategy. This zerging is awful.
