Guild Wars 2

https://www.reddit.com/r/guildrecruitment/comments/6xh2qs/wvwtl_paying_server_transfer_lf_wvw_core/

Got to talk to 10 new players from these forums and reddit so far! TL wvw core is growing fast hit me up and looking forward to talking!

[TL], Tidal Legion, is a guild formed from with one goal in mind – to be the top WvW guild in the game. The guild is currently is returning from a several month break where a lot of guild leadership was trying out other games. In that time we created a vanilla WoW branch of TL and also tested out Tera as a guild. It has been determined WvW is still the place to be as we are looking to get back into top fighting shape come expansion. We are currently looking for more wvw veterans, returning players, or anyone striving to find a place to test out their leadership skills.

The guild strives to dominate every aspect of wvw, fights and ppt, during EU to Late NA timezones. The best builds in the game and crazy high level coordination tactics, previously reserved just for the best 1-2 GvG guilds, will be used. We are fully adapted to the meta and strive to constantly improve. The guild has a history of hosting several long duration raids, as commanders have been known to string together for 12+ hour raids.

What I am looking for in this post is people that take the game mode seriously or want to start taking it seriously, whether you aspire to leadership or not. If you qualify and want to get into a highly organized and fun guild hit me up here or in game mail/whisper and we can chat. The goal is to have an awesomely coordinated/skilled group that runs all hours for whenever you want to play. To show the guilds seriousness we can cover part or full transfer fee which is upon chatting, to SoS where the guild is located, or to our paired server if SoS is full.

We have a fully upgraded guild hall with all the wvw guild missions unlocked and some people that do other non-wvw content as well.

Thanks, Look forward to hearing from you in game/below and potentially chatting on Discord.

On a side note – we’ll probably be messing around in Camelot unchained beta’s also if you want a group of people to hang out in that game too.

Look forward to chatting!

Have raised another 325 gold today for transfers, hit me up in game and lets chat!

Hello fellow wvw’ers. Allow me to quickly introduce myself, I am Rhys, former Sea of Sorrows council member. I am back in the game and deciding to make a push for Sea of Sorrows to push back into Tier 2. SoS has traditionally been a fight-focused T2 server that was a lot of fun to play on and that is what I am hoping to achieve again.

I will be raising gold to transfer any old SoS members back to the server with partial assistance. This will be regardless of guild or what your plans will be on the server. If you want to be part of this movement and want help to get back to SoS hit me up in game. (@ rocketmist.5436)

Transfers will be done on an individual basis and not a guild basis. SoS has a vast history in this game’s wvw history and despite being stuck in the lower tiers has great potential to restore all of tier 2 again to its former glory.

Please find time to chat for a bit on teamspeak/discord etc. The entire process will be transparent on the following spreadsheet. tinyurl.com/rhysfund

Look forward to chatting with you!

No problem sir! Hoping your crushing YB this week!

Doing a 24 hour raid starting now! If you wanna chat ill be online the next 24 hours!

Just want a friendly chat with some fellow late night/ocx wvw commanders to see how the scene is doing. Hit me up in game or maybe leave me some contact info here and we’ll set up a time to chat.

Doing a big late na/ocx push with the guild! Hit me up if you wanna be part of our new ocx crew!

Normally there is a 10 minute warning before the “fake” 3 minute warning that boots everyone out at 2:45. The last couple patches there was no 10 minute warning.

When anet is pushing mid week patches they stopped giving us 10 minute warning and now its only 15 seconds in wvw? Can we please get a heads up when the servers are resetting next time!

Online for a couple more hours tonight chilling after a 12 hour long TL raid!!! Hit me up

Coming off a great reset night, TL ran multiple tags and at one point were fighting two map q’s at once!!!

Can confirm these guys fight like hell, wish all guilds in this game were as tough to fight as these guys!

Some great fights today. More fight videos soon, probably from reset tomorrow, get hype!

Online the rest of the day if anyone wants to chat! Helped 4 new members gear up to ascended yesterday! TL is a great, helping guild!

My guild trying to do our regular wvw raid and everyone is lagging and dc’ing every 2 minutes. Wvw is unplayable at the moment.

Reset night fights! TL taking on two 30+ guilds at once!!!

Had 6 different wvw commanders today! 2 more in training, come join the fun, got a ton of kills today

You need to remember +10% damage is a damage modifier that if you have a lot of other damage modifiers might make it way higher than actually 10%. And +20% condition duration is in no way +20% dps, as condis are removed before max duration a huge % of the time, and resistance exists in the game.

[TL], Tidal Legion, is a guild formed from with one goal in mind – to be the top WvW guild in the game. The guild is currently the largest wvw guild in the game, with over 500 active, resulting in around 50-125 online at any given time and some of the most active gameplay available. We are currently looking for more wvw veterans, returning players, or anyone striving to find a place to test out their leadership skills.

To be one of the strongest guilds in the game the guild is looking to have around 10 top tier commanders/leaders to make up the guilds core. The guild strives to dominate every aspect of wvw, fights and ppt, during all timezones. The guild currently has a very solid NA and SEA presence with 7 day/week raids. The best builds in the game and crazy high level coordination tactics, previously reserved just for the best 1-2 GvG guilds, will be used. We are fully adapted to the meta and strive to constantly improve. The guild hosts several long duration raids, as commanders have been known to string together for 12+ hour raids.

Rocketmist.5436 in game mail works great!

Look forward to fighting you guys this T3 matchup!

You’ll be heartpressed to learn that pretty much every super high skill cap wvw guild in gw2 is now either gone casual or swapped/waiting for new games. The game has gotten a lot more casual over the last 12 months. That being said, i’ll still probably hit you up in game just to chat for more info.

As someone on SoS, its interesting to see we out-capped one T1 server and one T2 server.

Arrow carts simply do too much damage to players, everyone knows this is true. Defending should be about trying to counter the enemy siege placement, but killing them in 3 seconds with sup acs.

More problematic in my opinion is the inner smc 2 door shield gen + door treb + multiple 3rd floor sup acs defense. 4-5 people can defend INSANELY well against a massive group, 100% countering tons of golems, rams, catas and almost whatever else is used. They should add walls to inner smc now that shield gens and un-pvdable gates are a thing.

The WvW “overhaul” that removed the servers was scrapped. That isn’t happening. What will happen is a most likely small “balance patch” (the last one didn’t fix much), along with stab changes and minor changes to the new maps.

Anything on top of what I just listed and i’ll frankly be surprised to the upside. Anyways, there’s still some fun fights in wvw even without the overhaul (mostly on ebg) so enjoy!

Just sent you an in game mail!

Just updated this post and its amazing how much we have grown. Had 65 people online last night and my last edit said we had 25-35 people online during NA. Tidal Legion is a really legit guild and people are hanging around and having a blast!!! Hit me up if you want to join this super fun group of people and kick some butt!

Just noticed you bump charizard, thanks! Hope things are doing well with ya up in T1!

I think one of the worst thing about wvw is that a lot of wvw guilds will never be able to compete against the vast majority of other wvw guilds because matchups are often so locked…

Defending has never been more OP. 1 person can simultaneously disable, man a door shield gen and a door treb at the same time, that + hardened doors and 1 person can stop a group of 40 people from hitting a gate.

SkyShroud.2865:

overhaul is coming and they willing to waste those $$, they sure have $$ to waste

Not sure the overhaul will be removing servers. Pretty sure the big “overhaul” which was going to remove servers got scrapped.

Thanks for getting this post together Vik! Looks good!

prolly two condi necros, or one condi necro + rev

I find the total kills thing on wvwintel to be messed up a lot, but if this is true that’s pretty interesting.

Yeah that was a typo sorry. Bigger numbers ended up winning the oasis event since it really wasn’t that hard to show up to every spawning dino.

The oasis event was 99/100 times won by the group that had money people in the oasis. It really wasn’t a great comeback mechanic. Anyways glad its gone since it was one of the big demands.

Thanks for taking this out, as its one of the main requests a lot of people have. The event imo should have had a 4 map announcement and been more spaced out imo. Yeah also it lagged like crazy sometimes.

I read online the other day that the DotA 2 team at points only had around 20 devs working on the game, they were all just incredibly in touch with the game and great at what they did. One person who really knew balance well could also fix a ton of the balance issues also. I think it comes down to competence.

I think given a competent enough team, even if its under resourced they could still do a lot of good work to get a lot more builds a fighting chance.

Stephen and the other tech guy seem like they were added to the team recently to help figure out what is going on? The only other guy on the wvw team is Tyler, who is a guy that doesn’t play wvw and seems genuinely confused in the Ready Ups.

As for the big wvw update being scrapped for “small incremental improvements.” I am obviously worried that this might just prove in a sense that the big update never existed in the first place. There’s a lot of core problems with the new maps and wvw in general, the fact that seizure-inducing walls existed for about 3 months makes sense if the wvw team was only 1 person at the time.

I think my only hope for the game long term is the new game director prioritizes wvw and ideally brings some of his own people in. I really hope Anet brings someone over from LoL or DotA as the new game director to actually add a more pvp focused approach and get a balance team together.

One of the main reasons a lot of people stopped playing WvW is simply because the balance is super bad, which leads to less fun fights. As a guild leader of a fairly large wvw guild, there is nothing I hate more than telling people to stop playing their class.

The most played class before HoT was warrior, and its at the point where I think weapons like hammer could be buffed 100% and still be not viable. So they took the most played class and made it more or less unviable in big fights.

Then there is what most people consider the most fun class, thief. Thief is also pretty close to unviable in wvw with all the random aoe skills that can legit 1-hit kill a thief. D/D ele which is another build that a lot of people think is super fun is also not very viable. So basically all the “fun” builds and the most played builds are super bad at fighting.

Not everyone is like me and is willing to retire a character they played 5000+ hours into, most people I think would rather just quit the game. So hopefully they can bring in someone that prioritizes balance into the company so we can go back to having fun and unique fights.

I’d go down the list at every skill and try to seriously consider the risk/reward. Melee attacks should hit harder dps than ranged attacks. Light armor classes should do more damage than heavy armor classes etc.

The key would be to make as many builds viable as possible. Rebalance out the risk/reward of offence and defence. The hardest hitting attacks in the game are all from heavy armor classes, where’s the risk reward there? The hardest hitting attacks in the game are all from long range and hit multiple people.

Gotcha, thank you for the info deniara!

Of the three people working on WvW, one is purely a tech guy, being Stephan. Than there is Tyler Bearce who seems fairly out of the loop from the two ready ups I just rewatched with him in it. He repeatable made false statements about the new bl maps during the introduction and genuinely seems pretty clueless, as well as going over the auto-upgrade system which already got scrapped like it was super awesome.

Then there is Shuai Liu who I can’t find anything about, so who is this mystery person? Would be nice to get some new blood into the wvw team.

Nope this is still a glitch.

As we all know the last wvw lead, Devon Carter, left anet. This left a void in wvw leadership within anet. Instead of hiring someone else, they simply added the wvw leadership role on John Corpening. John Corpening is very much a pvp focused leader at the moment. Going through the last 3 months of his twitter shows 0 posts about wvw and tons about pvp.

I looked at anet’s glassdoor reviews and everyone is complaining that they are understaffed also. So at the end of the day, they simply don’t have enough people working at the company to really fix any of the issues. They didn’t even hire a wvw replacement for the one that left. Pvp and wvw are two huge completely different gamemodes, it seems pretty crazy to give one guy the keys to both.

From a company perspective they are simply cutting costs to the extreme by not even replacing people that leave.
