One of the main issues is they said there would be a map rotation when HoT came out. I honestly expected the rotation fairly soon and it’s been a while now. The new map isn’t perfect but I still think a rotation of maps would just turn this current map into the skyhammer of pvp. It would add value for diversity even if it wasn’t everyones favorite map.
Haven’t bumped this in a while, should be online if you want to chat, I’m more than happy to answer any questions you have!
Thanks TNL, props
As a guild that is fighting this “hacker” group it is super annoying. Have to leave scouts at all the lords on two maps… The guy just ninja’d a T3 ramparts with tactics. He has legit flipped maybe 40-50 objectives this reset over the last 5 hours.
Bumping this, online the next 8 hours.
Sick fights last night and earlier today. Hit me up if you want to talk, in game now!
Will be around tonight if you want to chat about the guild! Hit me up in game with a pm/mail
Pretty fun NA raid just now. If you want to chat hit me up in game with a mail or pm! Will be playing a ton this weekend in wvw!
Recruited a couple more super active commanders. TL just finished a string of 4 commanders covering the last 12 hours. Def hit us up, non-stop action and fights! Looking for a couple more key members that can make our fight core.
Would like some more information about alliances before it goes live ideally.
The guilds close to 225 active with around 150 that play everyday. Actively trying to get better fights core, and more defenders/scouts.
Bumping this thread. Recruiting more people interested in joining a hyper active wvw group. Hit me up in game with a whisper or mail to chat.
you should probably just transfer. its going to be months until they fix the lower server problem.
Have the funds to bring over a couple more great members. Have had 10/10 raids lately, really fun. Can’t wait to chat
Before the last couple of weeks there were actually a ton of QoL improvements in WvW and I was pretty excited that things were getting better quicker, with presumably more IT people working for the wvw team. Small updates like being able to invite people from your guild menu to your squad were actually being fixed.
However, the last 3-4 weeks it seems like things have only gotten worse. In the entire big patch that came out, it was disappointing to see only 3 small line items about wvw. Doylaks are buggier than ever, hardened gates unkillable by alphas, seige disappearing, tower walls still super buggy, being unable to change commander tag color while tagged, the middle event still takes like 25 power cores…
Lets just say when your running through a solid wall, it gets old after a month. I want to see some of these obvious fixes fixed asap before anything new comes out. The new changes listed above are good, I just want to see that rate of changes every week, not every 1-2 months.
TL on the upswing, got 2 more recruits today. Hit me up if you wanna join our growing family!
Online for a little bit more if you want to hit me up!
Online all day today, sea/eu raids today as well as na. Hit me up!
Heading out for the night in a second, leave me an in game mail, and i’ll be back online tomorrow!
Back online now if you wanna hit me up!
Had a great reset raid in T2 last night. [TL] has raised gold again needed to transfer more wvw players to join our guild for anyone interested. Hit me up, i’ll be online a bunch today.
One of the main reasons why people defended objectives before was the fact that it cost a decent amount of gold to upgrade them. Now with auto-upgrades that incentive has been removed so there has been a noticeable amount less of defense, especially on the BLs.
However, since HoT release more guilds are unlocking wvw tactics which cost a bunch to actually use and are putting them on objectives. These are pretty big investments and will be defended. Attacked a keep owned by [cern] today in T2 that had 3 of the tactics on it. Those tactics might have cost 10g+ maybe and they had people hardcore defending on the bls like the old days with waypoints. The tactic system also requires claiming for a certain amount of time on top of the auto-upgrades, so imo the new tactic system is more like the old upgrade system.
As more guilds unlock tactics I think we’ll see more defending, and as a result more guaranteed fights and action on the BLs. I think there were 10+ guilds with claimed objectives on EBG during reset night tonight.
Actually I think they buffed the rewards. They increased the amount of proof of heroics you get per rank up so you can convert that into seige to sell for gold more now. Rejoice
Had some awesome fights all day today! Thanksgiving tomorrow but i’ll be on way later. Shoot me an in game mail
A different perspective, higher quality youtube link of the fight.

I’ll be around all day online if you wanna hit me up!
Just finished a pretty fun OCX raid with 15 of us. Will be raiding both EU and NA today as well as gearing people up in new HoT stuff. Feel free to drop me a pm in game!
Bumping this post again, I will be online all day!
SoS thankfully has just opened up, and we have a lot of gold saved up to bring over key members still, despite working on the guild hall a ton :P. Look forward to bringing in some more key wvw players during all timezones again. Hit me up in game!
bumping this as it is not fixed.
Actually all 3 walls were loaded inside eachother, just attacked a wall and got numbers on all 3 types of walls…
As you can see in this picture the gate is paper and the wall is reinforced, and actually changing back and forth every second between reinforced and fortified. This is very buggy… It happened right when we knocked a wall down, it popped back up again as a fortified tower…
Is this guild still active? Send me an in game mail.
I have probably played 20+ hours of the new desert borderland map and really haven’t seen many people trebbing at all. I tested out a kind of cool treb spot from north camp that can hit inner and outter of the stoic earth keep back. Anyone else find any cool treb spots that can hit inner and outter of the other keeps?
Pretty much this. Being able to see where everyone in the guild is on the map is hugely helpful for determining how long to wait to regroup etc.
Do any of you guys actually do WvW with your guilds, or command for your guilds? Every guild member who is repping is a yellow dot on your map with their name displayed. Being able to see how many people are missing from your stack, the exactly location of your pick team, the distance you are from various guild members. This is hugely helpful for any commander.
Plus, when you’ve been in a tier for a decent length of time you don’t need to see guild tags to know who you’re fighting, you can tell by how they manuever or the profile pictures of their commanders, or other indicators.
The main problem is the event isn’t fun. It is already becoming a chore, it takes like 10 minutes to complete and there is ZERO reward. Give us a bouncing chest or something.
Honestly the new map is fine. Finding fights will be easy with the revealed from sentries and guild claiming advertising locations on the maps. The only problem I see with the maps is the waypoint system means that there is no objective actually worth defending, so there is no guaranteed fight anywhere. Before if you hit garry, people would show up 100% of the time, now I am not so sure.
The SoS Server is now full. However if you still want to join, lets chat and when it opens up we can figure out a way to transfer! If you are already on SoS, lucky you. Shoot me an in game pm/mail. The TL guild hall is doing well and the guilds been super active since HoT launch!
This is most likely due to WvW population being based on edge of the mist populations. Which have actually been incredibly high lately due to pve players farming hero points. That being said, it is sad that eotm even counts still as its about as much of a wvw map as silverwastes is.
People would use gliders to run from fights constantly, lets be real. We should try to encourage fights, not running.
WvW populations, though generally lower than at their peak earlier in the game’s history, are artificially low right now, not because of the new BL, but because of the new expansion content + halloween event. None of my WvW guilds are raiding in WvW right now, they’re all checking out the new content, leveling masteries, trying to unlock their specializations, etc.
Let’s wait until WvW populations return to their pre-expansion levels before proclaiming that the new map is too large.
Quoted for emphasis.
As anyone who has flipped SMC lately knows, the castle lord has an insanely high amount of hp. If you have a big group it honestly has more hp than the grub which means that big groups show up to the SMC lord and it takes multiple minutes to flip.
This usually results in other big groups showing up to respond and thus you get a pretty cool keep lords room fight. Tonight of the four hours I was on EBG, like at least 2 of these hours were just massive lords room fights because of how hard it was to kill the lord.
The main problem is the servers that run EBG can’t handle map q size groups fighting in lords room so the map faced like 3+ seconds of server lag for huge %‘s of time. I am a huge fan of the expansion and hope anet puts some of its new profits back into the game to help the EBG servers because with the new castle lord HP, I think we’ll be seeing a lot more super high population lords room fights that tend to overload the server.
My only problem with this is I heard about this change way too late lol. I was holding onto 10 kegs of world xp to collect them and they turned into boosters. Rip 50 wvw levels.
Will be back online later today. Feel free to send me an in-game mail and we’ll be in contact!
If your looking for a hardcore WvW guild quickly before the expansion, hit me up! Were one of the few guilds in the game that can pull an active group 24/7 in wvw. Have some great ocx and eu officers. Hit me up in game anytime or with a mail, we have the gold needed to transfer as well ^^
I’ll be online all day if you want to chat about the guild! Had multiple awesome raids yesterday!
Some awesome raids recently. Had a 14 hour raid with 5 different commanders completely naturally the other day. Wiped a lot of 30+ groups and was tango’ing with a Map Q at one point! I’ll be online a lot recently so hit me up! Still looking for awesome members, just pulled in 3 ex guild officers in the last couple of days.
Hey there,
I Represent [TL] Tidal Legion on SoS. There an extremely active guild on Tier 2 atm and theres a ton of action. We raid 1-3 times a day with lots of non-mandatory raids. We have a large and active membership covering all timezones currently, with emphasis on early na, na, late na and working on eu and ocx which we can field around 10-15 for currently. If your interested on moving over, TL also helps transfer members to the server who are looking to be key players in our push forward.
I’d love to get to know your goals and hit you up in game so when you are around let me know and maybe we can chat on teamspeak. If you want to whisper/mail me in game that also works!
Raided reset for 4.5 hours. If you want to join this rising star of a guild hit me up via in game mail. Already have gold set aside for more wvw leaders!
Online a bunch today and all weekend, hit me up!
