Guild Wars 2

Some additional info…

FUN!!! (Just ask Russell Crowe)

Great! A group of people who know how to build for WvW, always fights as a group (including combo fields) and often beats larger groups.

Patient. DA has taught many how to WvW. Flexible regarding builds. Understands that not everyone can afford the best gear right away.

Diverse.

Friendly and coordinates with other WvW guilds.

I joined this guild 2-3 weeks ago and the only way I could be happier is if we had more WvW players. I’ve seen this guild do some amazing things in the short time I’ve been a member. Fun bunch of people who know how to WvW.

Thank you all for your replies!

Seeingblue, I’ve been doing a lot of recruiting myself and have seen your ads all over. I am not sure that you spent much time considering my desires.

Justin, sounds like a great option for me but I am trying to avoid top tiers. I think other worlds could use some WvW players too :P . I especially like that you are seeking necros.

Ashtanford, I am definitely avoiding 100% rep guilds. There are plenty of good 100% rep guilds I could have joined. I think 100% rep is an old way of thinking and is does not take into account the flexibility having multiple guilds offers (e.g. a dungeon guild, wvw guild, guild mission guild, spvp guild, etc.).

I have a friend who’s moved to BP and I may very well join them. I’d like to see how the first week settles.

To address some other points you all mentioned.

• I’ve got an 80 in every class. I prefer necro. Necro, guardian and ele are pretty well geared. I have the gold to fully gear the others as needed (waiting to settle on a build for a number of them).
• I have more than 160 world ranks in total (I’m not going to total them all up). I have 81 on the necro and 23 on the guardian.
• I have a commander tag on my necro. I’m sure there are many commanders out there with more experience (especially considering my time in T8)
• Yes, I can afford the world transfer. I plan to convert gold to gems.
• I have a microphone and know when to use it. I have or will download any voice program.
• I’m taking a small break from gw2 while my buddy gets to know BP WvW (aka my gw2 time will be light this week)
• I’m a team player and am happy to change my build/gear. No solo roaming for me.

10-15 fighting as a group in WvW each night? Just for dailies?

I am an experienced WvW player and am tired of my options on Sorrow’s Furnace (Tier 8 ). I’ve tried growing a guild to solve the problem and the solution does not come quickly. So…I’m looking for a new WvW guild and world. My requirements:

• On a world ranked 7-18
• Has at least 10-15 players online and playing WvW during EST evenings and weekends
• Plays as a guild group at all times
• Has a web site and voice chat
• Does not require 100% rep
• Is relaxed and happy

Please list your web site in your reply.

In all likelihood, a few friends will come along as well.

And you had Panda the chop chop in 2005?

For your WvW time please consider Sorrow vs the Worlds, a WvW guild with no rep requirements. The goal is to have bigger groups when you WvW. We play as a unit.

I can also recommend PvX guilds if you have not yet found one.

You can check us out at http://www.svworlds.com

When people you know often say, “I thought you already were a commander…”

It’s also guild commands and other right click functionality. Need to kick someone out of your guild? Gotta leave WvW to do it and then get back in queue…

I think the original poster deleted the request and now the thread is just a bunch of guild advertisements. Hoping a moderator deletes it because now it is in the wrong sub-forum.

Welcome to Sorrow’s Furnace!

I know you said PvE. I also know many PvE players (including myself) eventually tire of the scene and seek some variety in WvW. If you ever get there, please consider Sorrow vs the Worlds [SvW] a 100% WvW guild. We are a collection of people who like all aspects of the game (pvx) and like organized play when we spend time in WvW. Rep when you want. More info at http://www.svworlds.com

I can also recommend some PvE guilds if you not yet found one. Send me a pm or catch me in game if you want more info.

Update.

We’ve grown to 50 and are looking for more active WvW players. We are more active in-game than on our site. The site is continually updated.

We’d love to have you as part of our fighting force.

http://www.svworlds.com

I see you have a couple offers. I hope you will also consider Sorrow Versus the Worlds [SvW] for your WvW play time. We are a 100% WvW guild on Sorrow’s Furnace. We have no rep requirement so you can join us when you are in the mood to WvW. We have all levels of experience in the guild and are happy to teach and be taught.

You can check us out at http://www.svworlds.com

Best wishes for finding the right guild.

Hello! When you are ready for WvW, please consider my guild, Sorrow Versus the Worlds. We are on Sorrow’s Furnace and WvW frequently. No rep requirements, play with us when you like. We are happy to train people and have varying levels of experience in our guild. My wife plays GW2 as much as I do. You can find us at http://www.svworlds.com

I can also recommend some PvE/X guilds if you have not yet found one.

With lag so frequent, why not merge EU and US and solve a bunch of problems. Match the top tier from one set with the bottom tier on another set. Lag can’t get worse. You create some parity in the matches and solve most servers’ coverage problems.

I also know that from a network perspective, there are things you can do to minimize the lag between the continents and the cost is not outrageous.

This problem is especially highlighted in WvW where I spend most of my time. It happens extremely often and should be easy to reproduce. Because lag in WvW is slightly greater than PvE, I think the problem is more easily noticed.

Click on a target then use any skill on that target. Even though the target at the top of the window changes, the skill is used on the old target. It takes a good second or two before the skills will start working on the new target. For example, this happens often when I am trying to cast feedback with my mesmer. This is most frustrating when trying to survive while downed or when trying to kill low health players. Change to the target that is spiking you, cast downed interrupt skill, interrupt the old target.

Also, complete building siege and you will stand around for a second or two after the building is complete. I believe this is also targeting lag. Even though you should be able to change away from the item you built, the game keeps you on it.

The WvW leaders over at http://www.sorrowsfurnace.com/ routinely edit and delete content they don’t like (just discourse…not offensive or vulgar language). I suggest you find a more friendly and open minded world.

If this was a gem shop error it would have been fixed immediately. Say, people in New York and California can’t make purchases over 75 gems.

This is a serious error that drastically hinders only one team. Red still gets the yaks, I killed one last night. This cripples holding Quentin Lake, Durios and Stonemist. This is a clear example of how WvW is low on the priority list.

I request that you also add feedback to this Bug post:
http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/support/bugs/Yaks-not-spawning-in-EB/

Guess Anet doesn’t work weekends.

This is getting minimal attention in the bug forums so I thought I would post it here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Supply-camp-no-doly-s-Umer-and-Danellon/first#post2316028
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Yaks-not-spawning-in-EB/first#post2316426

Yaks are not spawning towards Quentin or Durios in EB. This is happening for multiple worlds (wvw instances). This is a serious disadvantage for blue worlds and I request a restart.

Seems there are some other related threads:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Yaks-not-spawning-in-EB/first#post2313613

We were blue last week and did not have the problem but we are certainly seeing it this week. This seriously affects our ability to defend our side of the map in EB and Anet should also treat the issue seriously. We need more people to get behind this issue.

I’ve posted a link to this thread in our server’s WvW forums with the hope that others will help bring attention to this problem.

Playing for Sorrow’s Furnace. We do not have yaks spawning for Quentin Lake or Durios.

In our world’s battles, camps are frequently flipped and we can have periods where we are short on supply. The upgrade has two downsides during the upgrade period:
- we’ve paid for the capability and it is not delivering a benefit
- there is a lack of supply for those who visit the camp

I’m sure there is going to be some “guard the camp” nonsense (aka off topic) in response but I do not see why “personnel” upgrades can’t be a little more forgiving. Especially taking into consideration that the benefits do not really equate to the cost (nothing close to treb power in these upgrades). All it really seems to do is cause a quicker collapse caused by a few players ordering upgrades who think they are helping when in reality they are not.

I want to know why camp upgrades instantly take supply but then take time to build. Towers and keeps build over time and take supply over time. Why is this inconsistent?

I recommend either:
- Take supply during the same time the upgrade is being built (like towers and keeps)
or
- Instantaneously build the upgrade if supply is being taken all at once

I’d prefer supply is used over time or upgrades stall, just like towers/keeps.

Also, the title is misleading. We need many more than a few. Just take a look at our map at this time of day. We are blue…

World and type of pvp would help us better help you…

Please consider coming to SF because you will be an easily recognized hero if you can fulfill this request. If you are on the fence or considering multiple worlds, let us know and we will see what we can do to help.

I search for “wvw” in the guild recruitment forum and I get 1 post returned.

I search for “SF” and I get no posts returned.

I know there are multiple posts that meet this criteria. This forum is not very useful without basic searching returning accurate results.

Good luck with your dung hunt…

I think it’s dragon bash in addition to the WvW load that is making it worse than normal. I see lag even in simple PvE.

My suggestion, cut out all the useless WP action most players perform. WP is a huge drain on network traffic. Players will waypoint 4 or 5 times to save 1-2 silver in WP coasts. Average the cost, make every waypoint the same cost and then you make 1 jump instead of 4.

It’s not gonna fix the WvW problem totally but it should help since they seem to be maxed at the moment.

Introducing Sorrow vs the Worlds [SvW], the first 100% WvW guild on Sorrrow’s Furnace. The goal is to always fight as a group and to always participate in WvW. If you enjoy PVE or sPvP, you will want another guild to represent for those activities. Represent [SvW] only when you want to WvW with us. Any level of experience is welcome as long as you are a friendly team player.

Does your current guild infrequently WvW and you’d like to play more? Do you solo or group with strangers when you WvW? Do you want to be part of larger and coordinated WvW activities? This is the WvW guild for you (and keep your current guild for the rest).

Tactics will be tailored to the number that are online. We will complement existing SF WvW activities. We would like to grow into a significant WvW presence. We’ve been consistently adding good WvW players so please join so we can do more.

http://www.svworlds.com is the guild web site. We can be contacted on these forums, at our web site or in game I am usually Mega Bones (Mega Myth.5307).

Thank you for your interest in our guild.

Anet could easily publish the WvW average players by server numbers. I think they’re not because they don’t know how to fix the problem…

I run a 100% WvW guild on SF and our world could certainly use more players. The guild is growing and the intent is to WvW as a unit at all times.

So…if you want to be part of a growing guild on a world that could use more players then please check us out at http://www.svworlds.com or chat with me in game. Here’s hoping you find the perfect match :-)

What I don’t understand is why PVE gets benefits from WvW (gathering bonus, etc), gets tons of skins and makes constant surplus money as they play. WvW players tend to lose money or stay even (aka 1.5g to build fortified walls on a keep or 1g for a golem) and most say we should be happy that we got something additional with these chests.

Dragon coffer drop rates are also tons better in PvE.

Ecto? My drop rates are about the same. 40ish chests, 2 rares, 2 sup plans...

World or are you willing to move?

World or willing to move?

Which world or are you happy to move?

Adding this thought as an active member of the SF WvW community and not as the voice of the whole community.

First: YES! Please help our late night/day time efforts and come over to SF.

My additional request: Our control of EB and our BL is usually quite good. We also often balance our efforts between the two. We could also use a guild or more people to disrupt the enemy borderlands during prime time.

If you like to WvW then please consider Sorrow vs the Worlds, a growing 100% WvW guild. You can find us at http://www.svworlds.com

If you also like PvE content then I can recommend some guilds if you have not found one yet. Best to chat in game about this topic.

When I look at my influence history, it is only showing 1 member logged in each day even though I know more members have represented the guild. Not sure if the history log is wrong or if I am not getting the proper influence.

All members are in multiple guilds and will switch which guild they are representing based on what they are doing.

Hello Andrew. Please consider Sorrow vs the Worlds as a WvW guild. You can find out more at http://www.svworlds.com

I can also recommend a PvX guild if you have not yet found one. If you are interested, let’s chat in game.

Please consider Sorrow vs the Worlds at http://www.svworlds.com

Our world has been rising and could use more WvW players. If you are willing to consider it then let’s chat a bit in game.

Sending you a pm…

Interested in other opinions. Here is my perspective on the new rank chests…

Only 3 items in the new rank chest. One item is commendations (which I already have a ton…). One item is a plan and one item is random loot. I do better spending 10 minutes running the jumping puzzle. Comparing the wvw rank chest to a world event, it sucks. WvW rank chest is way more effort. At a world event I get at least six items and one is a guaranteed rare. How do they plan to draw people over to WvW with this minuscule reward?

Hello Chris!

I don’t see any Sorrow’s Furnace responses yet so I will provide an option that keeps you on your current server. I lead a growing WvW guild on Sorrow’s Furnace called Sorrow vs the Worlds. You can check us out at www.svworlds.com

I can also recommend a PvX guild that fits your needs. It might be best to chat in game to make sure I recommend the best fit.

Welcome back Mac!

I lead a growing WvW guild on Sorrow’s Furnace. It’s a good server for WvW because we recently climbed up a few tiers and are now adjusting our strategies due to the new challenges in our current tier. I can also recommend a multi-time-zone PvX guild that is exactly what you want: large, casual, friendly and fun.

My guild, Sorrow vs the Worlds, is located at www.svworlds.com

I can send you the site for the PvX guild if you are interested.

Which kind of pvp (spvp, wvw)? Guessing sPvP since you didn’t list a world.

Hello Aldwyn!

I started where you are now, doing lots of dungeons, other PvE content and sPvP. The more I played, the more I found myself drawn to WvW and not doing the others so much. If you find yourself in the mood to WvW please consider my guild, Sorrow vs the Worlds ( http://www.svworlds.com )

I can also recommend some good PvE/X guilds on Sorrow’s Furnace if you haven’t found one you like yet.

Sending you a PM.
