Guild Wars 2

Hmm, i guess with a server that has peeps from all over the world, i really dont know how to judge what non- peak hours would be..

My guild is in process of moving to Tarnished Coast. I do realize TC is currently the fullest server. My question is how do you Anet concider a server to be full?

1. A server is full when the pop cap reaches capacity when active accounts are playing?
or
2. The server has reached capacity reguardless if active accounts or online or not?

Reason for asking is i been trying for a few days now to get into TC , and no matter if i try during the day, night, or even the hours of 3 AM – 5 AM PST , i still cant seem to have success…

If your having that much lag, the only suggestion is getting an upgraded graphics card. Depending on how old your system is, it could be a proccesor issue,or even a motherboard capacity.

I would start with a better graphics card first.

I appreciate all your feedback, but we really need a Moderator’s input on this..

ok i edited out locations with groups.. but any Tips from Moderators to help us PROVE we are not botters BEFORE getting banned is what we need. Thank you.

Hello Moderators,

I feel like there is a lot of confusion due to recent events with banning. I wanted to create this post for those of us concerned it could be them next.

This is not a qq thread. so if anyone feels like lashing out pls do not do that in this thread.
The ONLY purpose of this thread is for the Moderators to give helpful tips to keep the rest of us non botters SAFE!

So leading into this part will any moderator, or all moderators that is available could you please give all of us some helpful tips/information to help keep us from being banned while in certain Bot hotspots?

Such as : Is there a dedicated Dev channel we need to pay attention to? If there is no chat contact, what other things should we do to prove we are not bots BEFORE a banning takes place? ect…..

Any helpful Tips are appreciated. Pls dont just say if your a legitament player you will be fine.. we need more helpful suggestions.

Gaile, thank you for responding to my other post. I feel like my question was not addressed.
The issue i was trying to make known or to have help understanding is, if i am questing in these so called Bot hotspots areas, ie.. Frostgorge, Ore, Human areas for heart quests/ or gathering mats for crafting,
plus:
if i have a couple guild mates with me for help on the heart quests, how do i have any guarantee i will not be perma banned!

As of right now i know i am not the only person who feels unsafe to play the game as is intended.

Gaile could you please address this issue.. thank you.

Ok but this did not help the issue of not getting banned if doing heart quests, or 100% completing the map.

This post is for a response from a mod. Last night some of my guild mates and i were
waiting for the Jormag fight to begin. While waiting we decided to go a little north into
the troll area and kill a few mobs and get some materials we needed for crafting. Not being in that area for more than 10 min they were all perma banned! No tells were given to see if they were botts, no emails or any warnings at all.

Well here comes my issue following that craziness. There is heart quests in that area they got perma banned in..
How am i suppost to feel safe trying to do 100 % completion if i run the risk of getting banned myself just being in that area.

Again i am not qqing here, i just need a Mod to address this issue for me, because i am now scarred beyond belief to now finish questing from fear i will be perma banned without any kind of warning.

Wow all i hear is crying about what is nerfed, when in reality there is so many viable specs we have at the mesmer’s disposal.
For instance, everyone see’s a spec someone puts up on youtube or the forums and overnight its the flavor of the month spec.

Well there is nothing wrong with that, but this is actually a good thing Anet is doing here. Check it out, now this will actually make you and I go to the Heart of the Mists and work not only on our specs/utilities , but learn the class inside and out.

Personally i have been running with a High Condition/high survivable/high reflection build for the last week and it freakin rocks. In WvW, Spvp, and PVE.

Now i am working on a Shatter/confusion build with scepter/sword & staff. The results are actually pretty good so far. Oh! and this build only uses one Phantasm.. which is the the 2nd skill with the sword offhand. The rest is building clones which do insane amounts of damage/confusion/reflection, and you name it.

So i guess what i am offering here is use this as a time to learn your class. Go test things out. Dont wait for another youtube/forum post.. you will never learn the mesmer if you do that.
Play around with diff builds.. I only gave a couple examples with what i been trying lately. There is a many more i have thought of and will be testing soon.

So what if phantasms get nerfed, there are so many more viable specs out there waiting for you to grab hold of them.

I am Guardian support/heals for my guild in WvW, and this is really easy to fix.

First, make sure you equip a weapon that has an AOE skill.
Tag a few surrounding enemies a couple times and go back to healing.

I do this all the time and get tons of badges. Problem solved.

Well for smaller guilds i know this could be one of a few crucial strategies to help the overall community to take a map. Bigger guilds or Zergs usually go for a keep. or mindlessly fight random pug groups in the middle of nowhere. Still this is a very effective tactic to limit how fast the enemy can retaliate..

Dont forget about Beyond Limits.. those guys are freaking insane as well.

Give them time to fix it. Good grief people the game just launched just over a month ago.. MMO’ers have no patience these days..

I have to say that rolling with this Alliance has been a great gaming experience and the community is being ran by some good peeps. I highly encourage anyone to join our
community and see for yourselves.

Ok holding Prime Time really isnt the issue here. What is the issue, is what the Ascension Alliance is doing atm… They have way more than enough Oceanic guilds to take control over night, but now they are trying to clean up the competition completely by recruiting all the rest of oceanic guilds from lower pop servers..

This makes it almost impossible for lower pop server to ever have a chance of moving up in the ranks.. Good US day/or prime time still wont get your server to more competitive levels without oceanics to hold your server overnight.

This is the biggest WvW issue for most lower to medium pop server atm.
