This is my second night roaming around Silverwastes & people are doing the events, defending, running with pack bulls. This is happening at all forts. Exactly the same as last night. Very few chests have been unearthed.

There are farm maps, there are normal maps, and there are organized maps. There are plenty of all three. Just use lfg to get into the type of map you want.

^ THIS!… It wasn’t a bug. It was convenient to go there when you had shovels because there were 5-10 nodes you could use it on and share the chests with friends. People whine about anything these days. There are so many ‘instances’ that players looking for achievements could have joined but no… have to complain about people ‘farming’..

gg nerf.

Anet just makes stuff up and uses the line ‘working as intended’ if they don’t want to fix it

Just need 2-3 more guards looking for organized WvW/GvGs.

good luck on starting up!

Every time someone transfers to SoSwag.

Looking for a guild on a NA server with European players that speak English. Thanks!

Are you looking for strictly WvW? If so Check out PAIN On SoS. They raid 8am-12pm PST US and are on SoS. You can reach them on sosgw2.com if you want!

Hello buddy,

Check out sosgw2.com you will find someone there!

Hello,

Might I suggest you look for a WvW guild only that requires rep during raid. Then you can dungeon/fractal when you aren’t required to rep the wvw with a PvE guild. Reason is that most WvW guilds don’t do PvE as much. I am not aware of any guild on FA that runs regularly in EU other then TK.

Cheers

Hi Rage,

Hey Guys,

Just a quick update on some changes I shared with you in a previous post. With the build on Tuesday build site interacts will have text better describing them, the arrow cart and ballista build sites will now have a smaller footprint and the siege disabler has a more visible projectile giving you a better chance to block it. We look forward to seeing how these changes improve the WvW experience.

Happy Halloween!

John

Can you guy us xray goggles so we can see through gates when rams get disabled? So that I can pop my block at the right time. Thanks!

Still looking for 2-3 more guards and mesmer for GvGs/WvW! Come try us..

Sea of Sorrows is still alive and well. We will continue to fight and continue to hold our own in Tier 2. Don’t listen to the rumors, SoS is a stable server. On that note, here is more info on my guild, BGA.

Bad Guys Anonymous is looking to run 15-20 man organized wvw groups! We currently draw 10-15, but we need more!

What we are about: Our primary goal is to be a strong presence on the battlefield. Whether it’s going head to head with an enemy zerg, or flipping a T3 WP’d Keep, we will make the enemy respond to us!

What we offer: Organized WvW/Raids, competitive atmosphere but no drama/egos, about to enter the GvG scene!

Guild Raids: We raid Monday – Friday from 8pm-10pm EST. Training sessions will be held on Thursdays. Attendance at raids is mandatory if you are online. We require people to be in TS during a raid.

Guild Requirements: Attendance at raids is mandatory if you are online. We expect you to make at least 2 raids per week. (Obviously if real life issues pop up, we will understand, but please let us know in advance either in game or via our website.)

Use of the TS channel is mandatory during raids, even if you have no mic. Listening to the driver is a must for any guild that runs organized raids, and we are no exception

We don’t require 100% rep, but we do require you to rep during raids.

You will use the guild raid builds when we are raiding. Should you have ideas for a better version of our provided builds, please bring it up. We are always open to new suggestions.

We also have a guild website that we require you to use. This is because this is where we discuss guild issues and post our guild raid builds. Without access to the guild site, you will miss out on important information. Sign up is easy and free.

How to join: If you’re interested in joining, please go to http://www.bga.shivtr.com and submit an application! (Or send a mail to myself or an officer in game!)

Any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to whisper or send a mail to myself or an officer!

CNB is also a guild as well.

CNB = best recruitment post

Visirale.6097:

I’ve been on several different servers in my time playing. I’ve been on SOS twice. Although I may not have a fanclub on sos, I am impressed by both of my stays on the server. It is truly accepting of all different playstyles and no one is going to ask you to stop playing the game however it is that you enjoy playing it. Coming from a gvg perspective, SOS has embraced what we have done and have been able to maintain stability in t2 for a long time now. In my time with HOPE and now SYN, people understand how we play. Even if they don’t enjoy that style there is usually an element of respect. I am impressed with the number of non gvg guild members who will come watch us and support us on random nights in OS.

Thank you for the kind words! Hope you enjoy SoS

:D free bump next one is 1 g

Really?
So many things wrong with this post. “Sea of Swag” that alone says how bad the attitude of T2 and SoS in particular has gotten in the past year. Congratulations you’ve just stamped the approval for Mag 2.0.

SEA OF SORROWS not SEA OF MAGSWAG.

we stole your swag :P come get it.. always had the most respect for Mags and their militia. Some of the best players.

Guilds of SoS.
Brief Description of guilds on SoS that are currently recruiting!

Bad Guys Anonymous [BGA]: Fights/Objective based guild that’s about to get into GvGs as well. Raids Monday – Friday 8pm-10pm EST, rep during raids! Website: www.bga.shivtr.com Contact: KingofSpadesANV.4180

Emerald Fang [Fang] : Both objective/fight based WvW & PVP focused guild looking to get started in GvGs. Rep (required 4pm-10pm PST US)/TS3. Mostly NA/EU players.
Contacts= Luvpie.8350

Bringing the [PAIN]: Semi-hardcore fight-focused WvW & scrim/GvG focused guild. EU guild, players spread worldwide.
Contacts: Swordfish.8512, TazR.8745, TCDJ.5378

What we offer:

Business Casual WvW
SoSwag has a relaxed ‘hands off’ approach to WvW. We don’t want to go back to T1 ever. We just play WvW for fun, when we can, and enjoy the fights. OPs or havoc squads are encouraged to tag up and coordinate with main group. You won’t be harassed for taking days off or GvGing etc. Also, should you transfer, we would never expect you to put in “x” amount of hours/“x” amount of days a week. Just come to play, have fun & collect dem bags!

No-perma lag/Queues
Unless all 3 zergs are in the same area there is hardly any skill lag. Queue can be seen on EB/SoS border once a while but with only 5-10 mins max. After Friday reset we hardly have any queues on any borderland except once a while a queue on EB for 5 mins can be found.

Weekly WvW/Server meeting
Our server/wvw meeting is open to everyone. We are a open server without egos, that encourages everyone on the server to have a voice. SoS guilds provide organization and structure for those interested in working together for WvW. The meeting is usually 30 mins or less as we don’t want GW2 to be a second job.

New to WvW? Welcome
SoS offer a fun environment for new players to learn in without megazergs like in T1 or dead zones in lower tiers. SoS players reinforce ideas of scouting/upgrading/floating to defend/training to new players and keep things positive in Team chat.

Community TS3
We encourage our players to use ts3 to coordinate via whisperlists & have a pretty active community ts3 that majority of server uses. Outside of primetime plenty of players can be seen in TS3 coordinating without tag.

Competitive Tier 2
As one of the 3 dancing partners in Tier 2 you will get to enjoy the fights! FA has a pretty balanced NA compared to SoSwag and recently YB is getting infusions to bring their population up. Lots of fights/bags to be had. If you like GvGs/Scrims T2 is the place to be as more & more guilds are entering the scene. We ask that guilds look at YB/FA prior to SoS for NA as we already have ALOT of fight guilds.

What we don’t offer:
Gold to transfer (We refund for 1 scout to check out SoS)
Tension + Headaches

Sea of Swag – Reboot

http://i.imgur.com/pj2RrQ6.jpg

SoSwag has been through it all. We have had friendly rivalries and have been called friendly foes, underdog, and some people have even called us the gangster of love… or at least that’s what unconfirmed reports suggest. Sea of Sorrows is a world that puts fun into WvW and not just through illiteracy. We’ve done a lot of swinging between the polar opposites of matches we’ll definitely win, and matches we’ll definitely lose. While neither are awesome options in themselves, we still go out there, play the game and aim to enjoy ourselves. Oh, and pick up an awful lot of loot.

We have a strong focus on our community. SoSwag is one & only server which has survived T1 collapse all the way down to T4/5 and rebuilt back to a stable community in T2. No one guild can do everything and with the range of interests and styles a world will have, we believe it’s vital to have our guilds be as close as possible. SoSwag is a world whose regular WvW crews are heavily made up by PvX guilds, fight guilds, Objective focused guilds & defensive guilds. We recognize the importance of collaboration and teamwork if we intend to do well and have fun out there.

With plenty of our WvW veterans departing the game or with losing leaders in timezones like OCX, we have a few gaps that need to be filled to make WvW enjoyable. We’re not so fussed about winning or losing, but we want to be able to provide the community of SoSwag with comrades in all timezones & leaders/pugmanders to play with.

We are also in no particular rush. We would prefer that interested players and guilds take the time to get to know our community and be sure that we’re the right world for them to call home.

Purpose:
Inform guilds/players about SoSwag culture of ‘hands off’ WvW

Who we want:

NA: We are happy with the number of guilds we have in NA during the weekend not all guilds raid everyday. We are looking for 1 additional NA guild. What we need most is individual players who are looking for a active guild. Please check out of Guilds section if you are looking for a guild!

OCX: We have a solid PvX population in our OCX timezone that is looking for leaders/pugmanders to develop them. Currently we only have 1 guild (PINE) in OCX timezone that can’t raid/play every night. If you are a Pugmander that is looking to teach/learn/grow with the server SoSwag Ocx will not dissapoint!

SEA: We are happy with our SEA coverage’s balance between the three servers currently in T2.Individual players are welcome to check out our Guilds section if you are looking for a guild!

EU: We have one of the best early EU guilds in the game (PAIN). They recently came back to SoSwag and are currently looking for players that love WvW. Our Late EU has always been lacking. We are looking for the following: Pugmanders + LateEU/Early NA guild that is looking to farm bags & is able to float and cover borderlands. Currently this timezone is militia powered and lacks pugmanders most days.

Guys guys… let’s not be unreasonable. This is only round 2 of CDIs remember they started last year… so let’s wait for round 3 of CDIs in 5-6 months before we expect anything. ok? Good

Hi Glad Concept,

[Fang] sounds like a perfect fit for you. We understand that RL > game but when you do get a chance to play you will play with mature players that know how to play. We don’t have mandatory raid times but we ask for rep 4pm-10pm PST US and we like WvW/tpvp focused players. We are getting into GvGs as well so you will get a chance to scrim/gvg as your schedule permits. We mostly do WvW/tpvp and are on SoS which is getting great fights against FA and sometimes even YB. We have 90 people in the guild (60-70) active within last 10 days. Majority of players play when they can. We have a active website you can check out.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Luvpie

hello! check out sosgw2.com if you want!

elkirin.8534:

The loss of guilds in time zones forces a restructure or rebuild phase. These rebuilds have happened to many servers since release. Those of us still playing will try and bring the fun to any opponents in our time zones.

Good luck, enjoy the game.

As new guilds join and old leave servers have to rebuild and that is what is happening with SoS. In the last 6 months we lost alot of people and now coverage itself so the people that are on will pull together and boom!

Plus GvG/fights are real in T2. Lots of good guilds are moving to YB to balance the tier in terms of fights.

Tiffany.8576:

It’s a shame there seems to be quite a lot of animosity between the guild mentalities of PPT focused and GvG/fights focused guilds. Thankfully this isn’t really the case on YB and that’s half the reason they were propelled to T2 to begin with.

YB has a solid PPT-focused core which knows it can rely on calling our open field guilds for help defending/assaulting a structure if the need arises. Speaking for us, we’re more than happy to help out in those cases because those situations naturally cause fights to occur in the vicinity. If we’re called to defend, you will see us immediately push out and challenge whoever is attacking in the open. If we’re called to attack, feel free to hop off your siege and engage us in the same way. Our presence is an open invitation to whoever wants to fight at that time!

The two mentalities can co-exist together and they largely do on YB, which makes for a non-toxic, collaborative community where the PPTers get their tick wins and we get our baggies. Trying to create a divide between the two disciplines or pretend one is more important than the other can only be detrimental in the long run. YB recognizes it needs the PPT sustain to stay in the tier and our open field guilds will work to support our PPT core to achieve that, whilst having fun with the diverse fights those activities naturally encourage (seeing how we do fighting under enemy siege coverage, fighting heavily outmanned, etc.)

Furthermore, today’s PPTers are often tomorrow’s open field fighters and even drivers. Speaking personally, when I first got into WvW, I was focused on the score because that was the driving force between winning and losing. I wanted to win (who doesn’t, right?) so focused heavily on PPT. As I got more involved in the format and more involved in organized groups engaging in epic, coordinated battles I saw how fun the fights were and my mentality shifted from being score focused to improving my play in combat situations to be more effective. Fights and scrims are now the primary reason I play the format.

As a guild, we recognize the latter point. As a result, we will tag up and encourage pugs to play with us and join us on TS sometimes to train their open-field fighting skills with a view boosting the server’s open field core more widely. We also occasionally have commander training days where we allow people who don’t normally command drive for us if they want to learn and talk about ways to improve and give tips whilst this happens. All of this, again, is looking to contribute positively to the entire server’s community by hopefully bolstering our fights core and helping to train tomorrow’s drivers for that focus.

I think more people should recognize the two mentalities have to live in harmony for continued success in both areas and each could learn something from the other. I personally think YB is the server who understands this most which, in my eyes, makes them a server most likely to be a long term, stable T2 resident which seems to be working great for all involved right now.

that pretty much summed up how SoS handled(s) things… Things tend to change often when new guilds transfer/leave so it’s always a work in progress.

does it work in pvp/wvw? if so remove please….

Scryeless.1924:

Why are there so many 98 year old crusties on these forums. Everyone should be open to small changes here and there just to see how things play out and what we can learn from them. Will trying out one week of no white swords really kill everyone and their families? Will the world be set ablaze? Will we all instantly be impregnated? One or two weeks. Give it a try. Then give feedback.

I hope I see you scouting for the ‘trial’ period then I honestly would rather do EOTM during this ‘testing’ period when white swords are removed.

Asking someone to scout a fully capped borderland with siege is ok/necessary but even that is tedious. I hate asking people to scout and most often it’s the same 5-10 people that volunteer to scout because it’s a THANKLESS/BORING job. People want to actually play the game & move around. They do not want to AFK or patrol like NPCs during the short amount of playtime they have…

Speaking of patrols: Instead of give less indicators, give us more! You know those useless patrols we hire at keeps? Give them a range where they will detect enemy players and put them up as ‘red’ dots on the map or some kind of message will appear on map chat that enemy (with count if possible) is spotted near watergate for example or sw of garry etc…. Give scouts/defense more tools.. not less.

ANET… let us help you skip the testing and tell you how stupid this idea is… It is dumber idea then when you added blood-lust (prior to nerf) and almost everyone told you it was a dumb idea.. You didn’t listen and waited for ‘data’.
No white swords will lead to karma trains… anyone that tells you different either doesn’t play wvw exclusively or trying to kill your game faster then you. During low coverage hours people will just karma train and no white-swords will lead to players just running around scouting, which is important part of the game but the LEAST enjoyable part.

No white swords = BAD idea. It doesn’t require testing. All you are going to do is promote karma trains….

SoS is not imploding and neither is FA. Here’s how the matchup works right now.

YB has recognized the holes in coverage for SoS/FA. YB hits SoS during EU/late pst & hits FA during OCX and basically has round the clock coverage. They claim it’s from people pulling overtime 12-15 hr shifts etc but who can tell… They have received 5+ guilds since season ended and I personally hope they get more. Especially during NA.

SoS has decent number of NA guilds but they all still run really light 10-15 (except Syn 20-25 now). We have lots of guilds for individuals to join and train with. Awesome guilds like CNB/TV/TB/EA/BGA/MM etc during NA are just looking for members to complete their rosters for fights. Mostly it’s militia power on SoS especially outside of NA. We have 0 Wvw Ocx guilds and 1-2 SEA guilds which do their best. PAIN has recently formed up in early EU on SoS and are rebuilding roster. SoS could use pugmanders more then anything and would suggest fight guilds to look at YB for NA. Talk to them about it.

FA still has some EU guilds/pugmanders so they have few numbers. They still have great NA. I would say biggest NA or pretty balanced. They have 0 Ocx afaik and 1-2 SEA guilds. Look at them if you can help with Ocx/SEA/early EU.

T2 is having great fights. Lots of guilds on FA/SoS love fighting open field. YB has TC guild which is a great EU guild & they sometimes stay up late during NA for scrims/gvgs as well. Give T2 a serious consideration if you looking for some fun. Win or lose T2 is the place to be!

let’s chat.

John Corpening.9847:

Removing white swords from objectives to give defenders a stronger role in alerting their team as well as giving attackers more of a chance to get through having their siege disabled.

This would be a mistake.

Very much so, it would be fine for full servers, but for those with low populations it would be a disaster….

+1 please DO NOT DO THIS…

lordkrall.7241:

Or maybe, just maybe, people simply moved away from the stacked T1 servers now that the Tournament was over, and went back to their former servers to avoid hour long queues, a bit like how it has been after EVERY SINGLE TOURNAMENT?

um no. Anet is arbitrarily setting server pops. How can every server be very high all of sudden…

So all servers are at Very high…

Until you fix how you calculate server population based on WvW alone PLEASE stop raising server caps. You are imbalancing the server even further cramming people into top 4-5 servers…

Following servers should be full and transfers to these servers should be closed so that people go to FA/YB….
BG, TC, JQ, SoS

grifflyman.8102:

Now we wait another year for a new map and a new WvW mechanic to be released. We wait and hope!

lol. Some followup to CDI would be great. We had a similar CDI in November of last year for WvW and that got us bupkis.

Blaeys.3102:

I actually think the opposite needs to happen ASAP. Transfers to gold league servers should be locked until a better balance is reached, and free transfers should be offered for guilds wanting to move to silver and bronze from those servers – until they come up with a better solution for the population imbalance problem (and there are alot of good suggestions in another thread related to that topic).

That way your guild can join you on your server and work toward making WvW more competitive (again, until a real solution is implemented) – rather than just a competition to see who has the most people and after hours coverage.

+1 lock T1 server and SoS so we can’t receive any more transfers. Transfers from Top 4 servers to lower servers should be discounted or free to spread the pop!

good luck in your search. please take a look at YB/FA

Doing more ranged raids in WvW. Currently recruiting experienced necroes/eles that are interested in running ranged meta and bomb their way to bags Come give us a try

Xenesis.6389:

The official CDI which was over a year ago and probably ignored at this point. The recent discussion is 14 days old.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/wuv/Solution-to-fix-the-population-imbalance/first
That wasn’t an official CDI but got some dev interaction a few times in there, including bringing the ideas back to the team, whether or not anet does anything who knows. I’m hoping the scoring CDI which is coming soon will have some impact. Population imbalance will always exist no matter what solutions are implemented, but the scoring you can tweak to make matchups more balanced according to those imbalances.

I could care less about the score and ‘winning’ I just want to be able to login and play against people during weekdays and have people to play with. This will require population pool of 2 servers as a alliance or merging of servers or atleast stopping of transfers to already full servers by lowering their cap…
