A few days ago I was in EB. We had no commander. No guild groups on the map. 30 people on ts only to listen to the musicbot, no communication. We still managed to hold all our corner as well as wipe our opponents who both had organized blobs running. Capped SMC. Capped towers on the other sides of the map. It was hilarious.
Basically, what I’m trying to say is that real WvW players don’t need a commander to tell them what to do.
This is the first time I’m seeing people get mad over something that was clearly done as a joke/for fun.
There are only 2 servers that are super organized at the moment.
These servers have a whole chain of command with staff members in charge of various aspects concerning the server. Staff in charge of the server website. Staff for the teamspeak. Staff for recruitment. Both have regular meetings where they discuss and decide their server’s plan of action for the following week (i.e. deciding whether to push ppt or slack), discuss tactics, as well as brainstorming solutions for various problems.
I’m pretty sure both these servers have spreadsheets filled with guild raid times, guild raid numbers, teamspeak numbers, pugmander coverage, queue times etc. This allows them to evaluate their current situation and see if anything needs to be done to maintain their communities.
A super organized server will also have almost all guilds on the same page and working together to achieve their server’s goals. They aim to have as little rogue guilds as possible that do nothing for the server.
Should come as no surprise that both these servers are in Tier 1. Organization is a huge part of success.
Anyone know the names of these 2 servers?
if you want mounts, please quit the game. hurry.
GW2 traveling = Waypoints and Swiftness boons.
Swiftness Wars 2. GG.
Those who are against mounts never have a logical explanation as to why they are so evil.
I don’t ever call them evil. I call them unnecessary . . . among other things.
Call it whatever you want, but if you, or others, can’t provide sound reasons as to why they are “unnecessary”, or shouldn’t be implemented, my statement still stands.
Go play WoW.
This is just a glorified recruitment post for the already most stacked EU server.
4 maps queued during prime time. EB queued for 12 hours of the day. No one to fight outside prime time except Deso during the night.
If you want to have constant fights, transfer to any server but SFR. They’ll give you a 50 man blob to fight 24/7.
They aren’t picking on you, they’re just being smart. They see an opportunity for easy ppt, they take it.
It worked for Blackgate

I’d like to see you try and make new content and see how quickly you can do it.
Here’s a thought. Kill them before they can build the ac?
Or even if they do destroy all your siege, there’s nothing stopping you from killing them then rebuilding more.
Yea, coz this armor is totally too skimpy………….
Yet another complain thread for the sake of complaining
No longer 4 teams rotating. Now it is just one team of 20 Devs. No idea how long the lead-time is for Episodes. I hope they will inform us how it works now.

You’re a couple months too late to make a suggestion for something that is releasing in 2 days.
That would be the Snow Leopard racial elite skill.
Don’t forget Theongreyjoy’s bottomless pit of gold.
Well those claims were made a million years ago. So no.
Nike Warrior missing from that list.
Yea, that too.
Maybe if fights weren’t so mind numbingly boring and pathetic, people wouldn’t run away.
Condi Thieves
PU Mesmers
Perplexity Engineers
Stealth Spam Thieves
Yea, I totally want to fight those.
You do know the seasons ended a month ago, right?
You care about winning (this is a bad thing).
So your only choice is SFR. All the other servers prefer to play for fun and not care about the score because it doesn’t actually matter.
Thanks for the feedback, folks. I’ve seen a lot of hate towards transferring guilds in the past, and our current/previous server is not at all happy with the move, so it’s slightly reassuring to see it presented more positively.
All I can say is, your guild made the worst decision ever.
You just tranferred to a server that has no real organization whatsoever. No inter-guild coordination. No teamspeak usage. No pugmanders. Most of the WvW population are fairweathers.Did your leaders even bother to scout the server first? Or did they just see the money and say “yes” immediately?
If I were you, I’d ditch the guild and use your own money to join a real server.
I appreciate feedback from all perspectives, but there’s no substance to your post. I didn’t present any kind of info on where we are from/transferring to, and you’re simply posting toxic and rather base assumptions on and about my guild and its members as well as our destination server.
And no, it has nothing to do with the money. We’ve been given multiple offers to various servers and tiers. We picked what is likely the best match for us at this point in time.
If you have something further to add which is relevant to the discussion, please do share it, otherwise please remove yourself from the thread.
There is only one guild that has recently left a low tier server and transferred up 5-6 tiers like you said. It’s fairly easy to put the pieces together.

We’re sorry to inform you that the WvW design team has been temporarily reassigned to the Living Story 2 design team.
Signed
The Management
Plot twist: There is no WvW design team.
No matter what server, you are going to have a hard time achieving your 100 member (not a small guild, btw) goal. Especially being a beginner commander. You are better off joining an established guild on a server and building your rep first before you start thinking of forming your own guild.
You do realize fps has nothing to do with lag/connection speed?
T1 roaming = spawn camping and killing people walking out of spawn.
That’s not real roaming.
This guild is coming from a low tier server so I doubt they’d want to go to another one.
You guys should go to Deso to help balance out Tier 1. They could certainly use some more commanders.

PvE guilds have ZERO reasons to transfer. Megaservers. You can always find people on maps now, no matter what server you are on.
You can buy influence for guild upgrades.
Transfers cost 200g+ per person for very high servers. Just check the currency exchange.
It depends on what is causing the lag. Most people who have played on both NA and EU have noticed no difference in lag.
Speaking for myself only I definitely notice lag on my EU account all the time. Not terrible,but if this were an fps game it would be unplayable
Hence why I said most
Also, each wvw map is hosted on a randomly chosen server (you can do /ip to find out the ip address for the map). The lag may just be caused by that particular map. There seems to be one ip that is really laggy and it’s random whether it gets into your matchup or not. Wait until next week and if it still persists then maybe it’s something else.

They do. Alt + F4 during a fight counts as a death and you get credit for it.
You used to, but guess what, the PvE team released another LS which some how, yet again, reset things for WvW!
Players have been able to Alt-kittenain without consequence again.
It’s been like this for months, surprised you didnt realise.
If they ever fix this, and the lag again, just keep a look out, when the following LS patch is released, things like this are undone!
Every time I see someone alt f4 during a fight, I get credit. Maybe you should actually deal damage to them?
If you run builds that deal damage, we don’t want you.
^lol
All are good for what you are looking for. PS and GH are more guild focused. AG is mixed with guilds and pug zergs.
Pugs/unguilded people will have a bad time on PS and GH.
You can’t stop someone from quitting in the middle of a fight. Alt+F4. Just keep track of when it happens and start penalizing people who do it over and over again.
Wish anet would be kind enough to give loot bags from the alt f4 players.
They do. Alt + F4 during a fight counts as a death and you get credit for it.
The op clearly asked for a big wvw server.
The answer: BG (full), TC (full), JQ, SoS, FA, Mag.
It comes at such a great risk. 2.5s cast time makes you a sitting duck and you’ll take so much damage back from retaliation.
But I still use it, because I like seeing lots of numbers.
Think about the intended purpose of Siegerazer.
Now think about how it ended up being used/abused.
Now think about why that number was dropped.
custom arenas
So what can we do?
Make the same thread over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again………………………
Which is what this sub forum has already turned into.

Right?@OP
First thing you are forgetting is that GW1 IS NOT AN MMORPG. GW1 was an online rpg. BIG difference between the 2. In my mind its far easier to develop something for a small group of players online (or for one player solo with minions) than to make content that has to be able to handle hundreds if not thousands of people at the same time. Also Anet, with the prodding of NCSoft im sure, has opted to go the direction of the living story in an episodic manner. And its a great idea. It keeps the happy players playing longer. So we do a episode every couple of weeks, we want to see whats going to happen next, so we keep logging in. Where as content you are describing (read:expansion) can be zerged through in a couple of weeks tops, then the player base is bored and loses interest and stops playing until the next expansion is rolled out. (8 to 12 months later)
Im sorry you dont like the living story, but if it bothers you that much, maybe its time to stop playing gw2.
What makes you think gw1 wasn’t an mmorpg? Just because you had the option to solo the content? How is that any different to the personal story of gw2 and the LS stuff?
What the hell are you talking about. Arborstone is fighting two servers it hasn’t fought in months and is gaining 60 rating. Yes that is variety and yes they will eventually gain ranking.
This will no doubt be my new Zergball armour on my guard… all of those stats keeps me alive so I can pump boons and bag farm forever.
have fun doing no damage
If you think the guilds there have high standards you won’t get in many other wvw guilds unless they are guilds looking to grow rather than most established ones – I know Deso has [AH], [GH] and [TF] who might be recruiting.
But well, you have to start at the bottom and make your way to the top which isn’t easy, then you have to think is it worth it with current state of WvW.
I applied to one of the top guilds and was told that I needed to have 150k WvW kills, GvG experience and be one of the top D/D ellies EU. This doesn’t seem like low standards to me. Maybe for others they are. But yes I am pretty kitten new to the WvW scene. Thank you for your input :p
LOL, which guild was this?
Semper Dius
A guild with expectations like that is a guild that won’t last very long.
What happened to not caring about ppt? rip old mag.
