It’s an interesting idea but too drastic to just force on everyone…would still be better than Golem week, though.
WHAT!!! I loved Golem Week I had tons of fun that week!
As a commander on CD I always post which ts channel and the address of the ts in chat. This imho is a commanders job if they want you to join them.
I usually have a temp channel made under the WvW section of CD ts. Nudies Hangin is usually the name of it. You’re more than welcome to join anytime. I won’t be online again though until Wednesday night as I am out of town after today. Hope to see ya there.
Personally as a commander I like the nodes placement now versus when it was out in the opening, now I don’t lose people to farming. I take something farm after take and move on and everyone gets their farming in and I still have people on tag. To me its a win win.
That’s why a lot of people claimed that it was another change to promote k-training.
From a roamers perspective it was great seeing a handful of people from a zerg stop at a node. It was a nice way to whittle away at the group.
I should have clarified my commanding a bit;
1) I do like a good k-train once in awhile (like a few hours before reset; or night before reset)
2) I rarely have more than 10-15 with me. (I herd kittens for a living)
3) I tend to be a PPT commander, mostly a defense commander
4) I am on the Crystal Desert Server so population tends to be low and so we get our home bl rick rolled quite often, this requires a k-train like take back of our own map.
But your comment makes me a little mad too, but only in the sense that you are amplifying my whole problem with the WvW community as a whole.
EVERYONE plays WvW how they like it. Some like roaming, and havoc. Some like GvG, Some like Ktrain, Some like defense and PPT, Some like massive zerg vs zerg. Some people love siege. Everyone should be allowed to play the game their way. No one way is better, no more valuable than the other. In fact, I’d argue that all of the play styles when balanced on in the servers can actually work together to make a great WvW.
As a defensive commander I need GvGers to keep hardcore peeps busy so my stuff doesn’t get taken and I can move about the map.
I need people who like siege to help place and refresh it for protection against an invasion.
I need havoc and roamers to keep my camps going and cause problems for the enemies.
I need k-train people and zerg fighting to get my points going up even if its only for and hour or so. These also keep people new to WvW busy doing something worth while and not screwing up something else I need. Not to mention it gives new comers a chance to see how exciting WvW can be and possible make them fall in love with WvW like I have, making them a valuable asset to me eventually.

Curiously the story of the GM was used on our TS as well.
I would love to hear where that came from. The pugmanders and pugs on my server are very anti fight guild and hunt down gvgs. In TS it was, while the pug crushed a GVG repetedly that the guild time was over and should the guilds complain they would be banned by a GM, as that had happened before. When i asked repetedly who said that guilds would be banned the statement was adjusted to no its not bannable. So where does the story come from that GMs vor even devs are anti fight guild?
It was a long time ago but there was an ANET dev who trashed talked some GvGers. It should be noted though that the ANET Dev was disciplined for his actions. While some of what you said above is not what happened, an incident did occur with the same basic idea. But that’s how stories change and history is rewritten, people tell the story over and over again eventually the facts get changed and people have misinformation. Bottom line there once was an ANET dev that trashed GvGers.

crap it is every 2 months that’s an awful schedule. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/WvW-Poll-6-June-World-Linking-Schedule-CLOSED/page/4
Linking is a permanent thing, now. The pairings change over time….think one of the polls established that the pairings change every 2 months now.
2months? I thought it was quarterly. hmm I’m going searching for those results now.
After the changes they made in the desert maps just prior to server linking the desert maps weren’t as bad. I was actually starting to enjoy them a bit. They do however need work before reintroducing them back in the WvW cycle. Especially the Air and Fire keeps both of which were far too large to really defend properly. The garrison one would have been better with just some internal inside keep changes. They can also reduce the over all size of the map and still keep the objects and ambiance the same just reduce running distances between objects.
Clean the middle up a bit to allow the GvG peeps somewhere large to fight.
I miss being Thor Thunder God when owning all 3 air shrines and the air keep. I loved jumping off cliffs and landing with a big thump, i had way too much fun doing that.
I don’t like the idea being floated out there of 1 team with desert other 2 with alpine. That is just going to make people angry and claim unfair advantage etc. The whining will be real for sure. The only way this idea would be somewhat fair is if a 3rd map were designed and all 3 teams had different maps, then again they’d still whine.
The other idea floating around is changing the maps every month three months etc. I don’t like this either. IMHO both maps should always be in cycle, if you’re going this route. match-up 1 gets alpine match-up 2 gets desert and so on. No one knows what map their match-up will have until reset. This not only keeps everyone on their toes it also keeps things fresh. Ideally though I’d like this idea far better with a 3rd map in the mix.
I personally would prefer they just came up with a GvG system like they had in GW1. I have wanted this since day one of GW2. That system was great, had it’s own maps, it had alliances with their own chat channel too. That is what they should do for GvG in GW2. WvW is its own game play and should remain that.
It would be considered unfair to some players and create a headache of backlash. IF people still want the Desert maps how about one week we are all on desert next week we are all on alpine. Or at least the match-up teams all have same maps and no one knows what map they are getting each week but the 3 teams in a match are all the same.
The problem is this.
Anet have said that everytime they bring in a new map to WvW the match up resets. So you have reset on Friday and then another reset on Tuesday when the maps are introduced. The only solution is moving reset to Tuesday which nobody wants.
That’s not a problem if you do reset on Friday Nights new maps in at the time of reset. That’s not hard.
You must be new to how Anet work.
Nope former GW1 player, and been at GW2 since beta days. Just like to give them suggestions whenever possible in case they didn’t think of that.

To the op. Anet has recently upped the badge drop in WvW so I don’t think it matters where you play. However, EOTM use to be the place to farm badges. As I haven’t been to EOTM since HOT came out I don’t know how it is in comparison anymore.
Sanctum is suppose to be the jumping puzzle and guild vs guild or 1 vs 1 etc.
Borderlands = Server homelands. Tends to be a little less fast paced as EBG. Still get the fights but not usually as large scale as EBG. Also it is usually a good place for small man groups to roam.
EBG= All 3 servers in 1 spot. Ends up being blob vs blob a lot. Tends to be hyper fast action.
EOTM = is basically a round robin EBG. You tend to go round and round capping endlessly with a few fights thrown in.
Hope this helped you make a choice where you farm your badges.
No. Not now not ever.
I keep seeing people say that night capping or uncontested capping is somehow unfair or worth more points. It’s not. This is just a false argument.
The big zergs during primetime often run into undefended towers and keeps. They throw down 3-5 siege and are inside killing the lord inside 30 seconds…start to finish. Also, a lot of the big zergs spend time looking for other zergs for fights and seem to not care about the ppt, they just want fights.
At night, the groups are small and often capping upgraded keeps and towers. They build one, maybe two siege, often having to run back to camps to resupply to finish building. They bang away at the walls for 3-10 minutes, giving a lot of time for defenders to get into position. Taking a keep is a 10-30 minute ordeal which is often thwarted by 1 or 2 defenders.
…….
Some servers are organized and responsive during “primetime”, but their night crew all stick in EBG, don’t communicate and have no leadership. So, it seems to me these servers want Anet to skew the scoring to cover their deficiencies. They want the scoring to be worth more when they are more likely to dominate, and worth less when they are at their weakest. They scream long and loud to try to make this happen hoping the squeaky wheel gets the grease. It’s basically a “my game time should be worth more than their game time”.
If you don’t like the other servers flipping objectives at night, get organized at night, get some leadership at night, and get better coverage at night. Stop screaming at Anet that is unfair that when your not playing other people are and they should be punished for it.
^^ This. War =24 hours. I am prime time player but I did serve time on Farshiverpeaks (Miss you guys hugs) So I have been in both spots. Night capping or uncontested capping isn’t as easy as people make it sound and its often lonely. Not to mention it can feel like a job so if you don’t show up one night because of real life you feel like you let your serve down. Bottom line everyone should be able to play and have their time and effort mean as much as someone else’s. Now that Anet counts kills prim time players have an additional option to counter night capping by upping their kill rate, we didn’t always have this. Use the tools we have more effectively.
Guild Wars 1 had channels to switch between there you could always play where ever you wanted just by switching channels. I do realize that isn’t really and option for WvW but seems to me something similar could be done.
WvW = War. War is a 24 hour thing. It doesn’t stop just because you went to bed. I am so tired of hearing about nightcapping and scoring. work on ways to overcome those challenges. Your playtime isn’t more valuable than others.
No. EU people should play on servers they want to play on and NA players should play on what servers they want. Your game play is not more important than another players. In addition, I am really sick and tired of hearing everyone complain about night capping. WvW = WAR in real war it goes on night and day with no regards to the number the other side has or whether or not they are sleeping. The world doesn’t stop moving just because you’re asleep. Nightcapping is something I consider a challenge that needs to be overcome by tactics and game play. Same as if it were real war and my opponent were doing things while I slept.
Last night while playing WvW doors were bugged we took them down but the didn’t ever open. We had to use walls to get into some keeps and towers. Seemed to be doors on different levels than the main level. Not 100% sure about the level though. For sure happened at fire and air keeps though.
Good question! And the answer is: No we are not 100% rep
We just ask that when you feel like raiding or hanging with us to rep.
Well we do like people who make us laugh a lot.
Still looking for awesome people. do you have the nudie awesomeness???
double post much?
My bad sorry was so excited to play all day today cause I had the day off! I just wanted to post fast and get to the game!
you guys should have just told FSP to xfer over then we could all be happy.
lol
Now there is a thought! But the GvG groups of FSP would be unhappy..at least until we bumped up DH’s rankings.
We havoc/roam, siege keeps and towers, run dollies (when we can), repair gates and towers, cap camps, defend our homeland, cap towers and keeps when and where we can period. 90% of my guild has tags as such, Nudies tend to be free thinkers, and independent which makes my job harder as a commander. We have a joke in the guild that getting Nudies together is like herding kittens. kitten hard, so when it happens its like a birthday present. But, don’t think our organization is lacking, despite what you may think our organization is actually organized chaos, and it works for us. We do make progress and we do get points and we value that too. We like to win too, but we aren’t going to forsake our health, home life or fun to achieve it. It is a game to us, nothing more. We work when here but in our own way.
EU please come help these Americans out, they need you here! We need PPT, Havoc/Roamers and just more bodies during EU time! Come be the off prime time squad!

In terms of EU guilds here’s what we need: We need a PPT guild, in our current spot there isn’t many GvG guilds that fight during EU prime, this is do to our placement in the rankings. So if your feeling a bit outnumbered by all the EU gvg guilds you can come here and be assured your play style is sorely needed. Which also means name recognition for your guild, since you’d be the main force at that time. We would need someone who doesn’t mind being a “pug” commander as most of the EU prime spot are single players. This is a great opportunity for a EU guild to stand out amongst the crowd! My guild has about 10 EU players who would love to have more friends to play with! What are you waiting for??
We DO NOT do EBG. The reason? EBG will always be the first map to que up, it will always have people who play that map exclusively it will always have a fight there. In other words, 99% of the time EBG is covered well enough not to need us. We have been known to come and help defend our keeps when the server is desperate but we find this is rarely needed. We play pretty much home bl and the enemy borders. That’s where you will find us.
As a commander I DO NOT do open field when I can avoid it. Why? #1 we as Nudies DO NOT follow the meta in teams, builds or anything else. No synergy in our formations etc. This is due to our Uniqueness as a guild. We are a guild of inclusion not exclusion. We don’t exclude people because of builds, gear, level, playstyle or skills. This guild was created on a need we saw in WvW. For people who wanted to do WvW but felt excluded because of the above mentioned factor. Our Guild Motto: Follow Your Bliss. Secondly, we also almost exclusively run with what people call pugs, we call them heroes. With this kind of group play open field fights are best left to teams that focus on that.
I love my Nudies!
Not my video but it was on my server’s website. Thought it was so good it deserved to be shared. Love you scouts! To the man/woman who made the video awesome job!

Changes coming to WvW on Dec 16th. Come Join NUDE..if you think the new changes suck you’re not alone! We do too! But because we are Nudies we always make it fun no matter what! Come join us so at least you have a good time!
hmm thinking we need to maybe update our recruitment thread.
If you like or are interested in WvW Perhaps NUDE might be for you. We are on the Far Shiverpeaks server. While we are primarily a WvW guild we do the occasional PvE thing too.
Our recruitment thread:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/NUDE-is-NOT-the-guild-for-you/
Good Luck find a home!
SLAY moved to FSP recently anyway.
Yes and FSP is very happy to have you too. At least that’s what I hear. I don’t really know as I haven’t been on game much this week due to work pressures. But even if I was on game I most likely wouldn’t see ya’ll anyway as my play hours are at different times. But welcome to FSP hope you like it here and find what you’re looking for.
Hey. Are you guys still recruiting? I’m kinda thinking on moving to FSP from SFR because things are kinda boring on WvW, and I’m looking for a fun place to be.
Sorry I haven’t replied, work is very busy atm so haven’t been online much in GW2 stuff anyway. NUDE is always looking for new friends who are fun to be with and aren’t too serious. We like having fun you know
. I did get an in game mail is that from you? If so I replied. come on over though the water is fine!
I paid for the game same as you. I log hours same as you. I play where I feel most at home same as you. My time is not worth less than anyone else’s period. WvW was developed to be 24 hour long war. There are issues I don’t deny that, but the solutions are not to devalue other people’s play time and contributions. Solutions to the issue of WvW should be done in a manner that respects everyone’s play styles and time.
We are far from uptight. We are very casual. Shame though you want to stay on Mag. IF you think you might want to transfer elsewhere come join us on the Farshiverpeaks server. You can see a bit about us on our recruitment thread found here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/wuv/recruitment/NUDE-is-NOT-the-guild-for-you
Good luck finding a new home.
