Guild Wars 2

Dear WarWeeny,

I saw your post and wanted to offer you a place in our Fissure of Woe guild, Alpharius [Alph]. Our guild is an Australian-based one, but we have members from all over (i.e. not just Australia) — our membership ranges from casual and occasional, to frequent and experienced; from folks just starting out, to higher levels.

We focus on PvE (that includes dungeons, and both high and low level content, helping each other out with story elements and everything else in-between), and we have a strong and stable presence in WvW (including a commander). Our full information can be found here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Guild-Wars-2-Guild-Compendium/page/16#post1403185 and our most recent recruitment post is here.

We are a friendly and mature guild, and what we ask is that members keep it positive, civil and polite, refrain from profanity and insults (similar to the rules on this forum really), represent the guild in a positive manner (including giving helpful feedback, and suggestions on what to spend guild points on, and generally saying g’day to fellow guild members), help each other if practicable, and importantly: have fun!

We’d be happy to hear from you, either here or in game via pm or whisper.
Best regards,
jabberjabber

Dear sevtrisen,

I wanted to reply to your post as we run a small and friendly Australian-based guild on the EU Fissure of Woe server. Our members are from all over (i.e. not just Australia), and our peak evening time activity corresponds to the time zones that you want (and with daylight savings ending soon in Australia, we are only 1 hour apart in terms of timezones from Aust. East Coast to GMT+8). Therefore, I think we’re well suited to your needs and would like to offer you a place with us in our guild, Alpharius [Alph].

antiirony.3278:

Jabberjabber, I’m definitely intrigued since our time zones aren’t drastically apart, but I’m playing in the US server. Do I have to start again if I head over to the EU server?

There are 2 ways. Firstly, a paid transfer can be done for a few hundred gems. However, if you want to transfer for free, then all existing characters would have to be deleted.

I really don’t want you to do either. I would feel very bad since you haven’t even “guested” with our guild to try us out (I would recommend any prospective guildmate should “guest” before committing). At the risk of losing a prospective guildmate, but wanting to do the right thing for you: I would suggest that you look for an Oceanic-based guild on your home NA server in the first instance — I believe there are plenty, and I’m sure you’ll get more offers here soon from NA Oceanic guilds (I think WynterRaven’s guild above would be good for you, for instance, as it is a NA Oceanic guild – I’m sure WynterRaven would say similar but opposite things for an EU based person as well).

Dear antiirony,

I am not sure what server you are on, so apologies if you are not able to guest or play on EU servers. But I wanted to reply to your post as we run a small and friendly Australian-based guild on the EU Fissure of Woe server. Our members are from all over (i.e. not just Australia), and our peak evening time activity corresponds to the time zones that you want (and with daylight savings ending soon in Australia, we are only 1 hour apart in terms of timezones from Aust. East Coast to Malaysia). Therefore, I think we’re well suited to your needs and would like to offer you a place with us in our guild, Alpharius [Alph].

I have an unusual one to report.

The original phrase is this:
players to form evekittenperson squad

which to spell it out should have been:
players to form even a five person squad
(where “five” in this line is replaced by the numeral “5” in the first line, and resulted in the filter application).

Best regards,
jabberjabber

@Timberwolf – thanks!

@Royce – looking forward to seeing you on WvW (but not sure if we’re in the same timezone or not – lol!)

@Sandro (post 1)-
I’ve personally seen exploitation of bugs (etc.) used by every server. I assume that it is done by a minority of players, but it simply just gets noticed all the time since its hard to miss if you’re on the opposing side and (moreover) gives genuine players of particular servers bad reputations. At the risk of offending you, I’d like to re-focus this thread about tactics: there’s plenty of other threads noting such exploits.
So let me turn to the mention of escaping – a great point! This is exactly what an outnumbered squad should probably be doing when using this tactica. I think Netherphoenix in response to you makes the point that this is a sound stratagem for guerrillas.

@Jarettellis -
Thanks for the shout out from FC mate – much appreciated. I completely agree with you — being able to “pull” a good fraction of an opposing side toward you just from a small number undertaking guerrilla tactics can often make or break a siege elsewhere. Greetings from your (spiritual?) cousins in Fissure of Woe.

@Netherphoenix-
Great points, and well received.

@Sandro (post 2)-
I agree that a fight in the open is exciting! I’ve been involved in many. The main problem (for me) is what to do when we truly are completely outnumbered (at certain times of day) and can hardly find enough players to form even a five person squad – hence this tactica grew out of that
I salute you, sir! Arborstone are excellent opponents. Best regards from the Fissure of Woe.

Thanks Deniara! I agree that tactics in Tier 1 at primetime have to be different and adapted. I too hope FoW improves – I think there are good things going on in FoW now, but the population density at offpeak times can be an issue still, …hence the tactica.

Lyndis – much appreciated! Not sure what tier you’re in, but these tactics are certainly viable in Tier 9.

One additional practice we do that I forgot to include above is to feign an attack on a tower or keep. By having only a few of us assault the external guards, we can create a crossed swords on the map and “draw” enemies to our location, away from (presumably) more important defence or offence work elsewhere. Getting away quickly depends on how many come, but once we see the first enemy player, we know we need to get out of there soon in case there’s actually large numbers headed our way.

G’day,
Alpharius [Alph] is an Australian-based guild that regularly plays in the evenings in AEST. We have a mature member base and focus on PvE (including dungeons) and WvW. I’ll state from the outset that we are a small guild and don’t yet have guild missions. But we are friendly and growing.

We’d be very happy to have a thief with us, as that is the one class that we seem to lack at the moment (as per our recent recruitment post).

Our information can be found at: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Guild-Wars-2-Guild-Compendium/page/16#post1403185

We are based on the EU Fissure of Woe server, but have a number of players coming to us from other servers to specifically play with us during peak Aussie east coast times. We’d be very happy, and indeed recommend, for you to “guest” with us first before going to the expense of changing server. If you’re interested, please feel free to whisper me or pm me either here or inside the game.

Best regards,
jabberjabber, on behalf of Alpharius.

Aiding, ambushing and harassment.
If we don’t want to be an active part of a home-team zerg, we sometimes employ other tactics. In the event of a large battle we’re aware of, we take one of two approaches.

The first is in a situation that is not a “funnel” fight (where the two opposing teams are effectively at either end of a corridor of scenery). We attempt to draw and lure some enemy players away from the enemy zerg, thereby giving our home-team zerg an advantage. We do this by running down one of the enemy zerg’s edges, following a pincer-like approach.

Usually, a few of the zerg break off the main bunch to pursue us. We then tackle the few away from their allies and dispatch them. Alternatively, we lure them in to an ambush (if, say, there are 5 of us present in our guerrilla squad). This involves (typically) one of two ambush tactica. In the first instance, one or two of use (using ride the lightning or similar) race away from the chasing group and turn a corner (out of line of sight of the zerg we broke our enemies away from) and they suddenly face a ballista that has been (pre-)built by our other 3 (or so) members of our group. The chasing group is inevitably rapidly dispatched. The other way is to have one or two of our group leap in to a nearby body of water where our other squadmates are ready for them underwater – a situation of the inferior numbers suddenly turns in to superior numbers and we can usually handle the pursuers.

In the second situation which is a funnel battle, we avoid the funnel altogether. Instead, we try to find a vantage point near to the enemies route and build a ballista (or arrowcart). Using the ballista or arrowcart, we start to take shots at enemies that are in range, but near one edge of the enemy squad in the hopes that they will break off. The key here is to have only 1 of our team on the ballista – the others hide nearby, or go to sleep to create a lower profile. When an enemy breaks off to handle our harassing ballista, they suddenly find themselves facing a greater number of us than they expected and usually try to run away rapidly (have some kind of immobilize ready) or perish.

We only do the above once or twice before moving on to different targets.

Summary.
The right team can make a difference in a low population server WvW setting, even those who are usually casual PvE players. Guerrilla tactics are strong: they can help flip a map to the home colours, split enemy forces and confound them, and lay ambushes in the middle of large battles.

Thanks for reading. I look forward to hearing your own thoughts and feedback.

Target picking.
With practice, a supply camp or NPC camp can be solo-ed. But it takes a much shorter amount of time if there are 2 or 3 players present, and hence this lowers the likelihood of being detected. Hence, before setting out from an initial waypoint / Asura gate, have a team member select one, or a series of targets that you (and your small team) know about. Hit one target (and then the second and third in order) and then get out of there (presumably back to the waypoint of origin, or a waypoint on a different map, that you’ve placed in your chat for ease of clicking). To pick a target or target chain – look at the map. See where the big battles are occurring and simply go somewhere else. Don’t walk straight in to the enemy!

We usually do a chain of sentry, supply camp, supply camp (swapping the latter for an NPC camp on occasion to help reinforce the supply camp once its taken over… plus few enemies expect to see us at NPC sites), and the odd caravan along the way. If there’s more than 2 players, consider doing supply camp, sentry, tower, or make just a single tower the primary target for your run if there is a nearby supply camp already yours. We have taken down towers in short order with just 3 players (most recently with a Mesmer, Necromancer and Elementalist) and one or two rams before today. Sure – this requires a supply run (or two), but if the enemy hasn’t seen what you’re doing and is otherwise engaged elsewhere, you have a head start and can often get the job done before a response is mounted. Just don’t try two towers on the run that are close to each other – that’s a sure way of being caught. Plan the targets and stick to the plan and the escape route. Be sure that everyone in your team knows the plan before executing it and where to go afterwards. Try not to wing it! Communicate before heading out, not during the fight.

In the eventuality of a siege being laid by a large zerg of your own side, you should think about how to best coordinate your target picking: identify camps that will deny supply to the defenders. Or, aim to split the enemy force. Attacking a nearby supply camp or alternative keep is often enough for them to notice.

The goal all along is to do something that the enemy is not expecting, and cannot easily counter with a large mob of their own. And if they do, to get out as soon as practicable.

We also check the timer. We try to get things done (taking locations) so that we score just before the usual 15 mins reckoning is up. We then (if possible) use the next few moments (particularly in a tower or keep) to reinforce walls and doors with any supply left over, before vanishing once more.

Scouting and Recon.
Whilst out and about, we try to provide intelligence reports to the home team about what the enemy is doing. As a piece of advice, try to keep such messages short and to the point and start the sentence with “report only:”, “info only:” or similar. The last thing you want to do is split your own forces when they need to be together. You don’t want to accidentally communicate “get here now!”. And fundamentally, communication is essential to the WvW environment.

On occasion, we also run in to an analogue enemy group that is doing likewise. We try to ambush these guys (as below), or take them on in direct battle if we feel confident. As soon as we’ve been spotted by enemy scouts or guerrillas, we always way point out of there after choosing to engage or disengage. We don’t want to spend needless coin on repairs or find ourselves in the centre of an epic melee we didn’t want to be near.

Finally, when defeated by enemy squads, it is sometimes useful to delay respawning for a few moments to simply get a feel for numbers. Once respawned, make a small report (as above) for a battle or locational précis.

Background and Introduction.
Our guild has a primary interest in PvE, but has a strong and stable base playing WvW as well. We are members of the EU Fissure of Woe (FoW) server – a server that has been consistently in the bottom EU tier (Tier 9) for a while now; it is perhaps an analogue of Ferguson’s Crossing (FC) from the NA servers. Like FC and others, FoW has a strong and loyal player base, and a number of very smart commanders (hat tip to you guys – you know who you are). We enjoy playing with our servermates since we always get a “hi”, “g’day” and party invites.

But like FC, FoW has a low population density and sometimes low activity rates in WvW, particularly if playing outside peak EU times. Being an Australian based guild, we have taken to guerrilla tactics in the absence of a large home-team zerg or when strong commanders aren’t there. I’d like to share with you some of when I/we’ve learnt during these times by way of an introductory posting on the subject, in the hope that others can benefit from it and provide further feedback and ideas (I’d especially love to hear from other low tier players in NA and EU about these ideas and any other ideas they’ve employed). As kinkywarrior says: a roaming group can contribute to the WvW effort.

A target rich environment and you.
When you are faced with a WvW map that is almost entirely in a colour other than your server’s, don’t lose hope immediately. Being seriously outnumbered means a target rich environment. And to the opposition, it means finding a needle in a haystack, unless they’re spread out over the entire map as player-sentries (I’ve never seen that before, but I have seen people camping out right outside our starting waypoint keep – that needs some thought about how to get around).

So what is a solo-ing or small group squad in Tier 9 to do in such a situation? Sentries, supply camps and NPC camps can be taken quite readily by small groups and should be the prime target, followed by towers. Keeps require more people, a reliable supply and are ultimately slower to capture, so best avoid tackling them unless you’re 100% certain the enemy is not going to come and defend (and that actually happens sometimes).

All sentries and indeed, unescorted caravans, should be solo-able to skilled players of all classes. Practice on sentries and caravans until you’re comfortable with taking them down with a minimum of fuss and in the fastest possible time. Indeed, the ability to take down targets quickly is one of the paramount ingredients for successful guerrillas we’ve found. But sentries don’t yield any points for the server. To get points and contribute to the server’s score, we’ve got to take on supply camps or better.

Constant movement and the escape plan.
Having mastered the art of taking down sentries quickly, the next thing we learnt is that we need to be mobile. Very mobile. Many of our guerrilla acts become noticed by the enemy and hence we need to move along quickly (an elementalist able to share a speed buff when attuning to air, or stealth from other classes, or portal escapes, or similar, is handy) if we don’t want to die to an enemy zerg squad. The only situation in which we haven’t ran immediately is when we feel we can mount a defence to (e.g.) a keep or tower that isn’t being attacked by a large enemy zerg, or we’re facing an analogue group or comparable or lesser number / skill. We have our small team looking out for enemies, even to the extent of lying down in scenery to help disguise our presence (we try not to do this near vistas, as we know that is a valid way of communicating that players are simply after map completion).

The escape plan consists of one of two things: either rapidly moving to a different area (preferably around bends, line-of-sight blocking scenery and circuitous routes, or taking a dive in to a lake); or jumping to the home way point. To achieve the latter, we suggest that one player puts (shift-click) the name of the escape way point in the party chat before tackling a target. Given a lack of chat during an assault, this can be used almost immediately afterward (or when required / not engaged) without scrolling upward. We constantly choose waypoints that are not on the map we’re currently on. This confuses the enemy in the event of being discovered too soon, and in the long term: they don’t know where we’re going to be next and might split their forces. The latter can help the server more generally for when there are large home-team numbers in play.

Dear Sibon,
Alpharius [Alph] is a guild that is Australian-based and regularly plays in the evenings in AEST — mornings in GMT. We have a mature member base with many of us having real lives and family responsibilities.
Our information can be found at: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Guild-Wars-2-Guild-Compendium/page/16#post1403185

We are based on the Fissure of Woe server, but have a number of players coming to us from other servers to specifically play with us during peak Aussie east coast times. If you’d like to give us a try (e.g. through guesting), we’d be happy to hear from you and welcome you!
Best regards,

Salutations and G’Day!

Alpharius [Alph] is a mature membership, smaller and friendly guild on the EU Fissure of Woe server. We’ve been steadily growing over the past few weeks, recruiting players whom we’ve adventured with and who are online in the evening peak of the GMT+10hr Australian Eastern Standard TimeZone (whether Australian or not!). Our membership ranges from casual and occasional, to frequent and experienced; from folks just starting out, to higher levels. We’re happy to welcome new players and old alike.

We’d like to expand our membership and are presently actively looking for:

(i) PvE players of all levels
* lower PvE levels to adventure with other characters, do personal story elements, map hearts, skill points, and vistas, group events, and be sociable. Perhaps you have an alternate you want to level up, or perhaps you’re just starting out? We’d be happy to have you either way.
* higher PvE levels for dungeoneering (end game content, etc.), and those who are willing to help and give advice and guidance to lower level characters across the playing map, including tougher meta events.
* thieves — this is one area/class we specifically lack at the time of writing (…and yes, we know we’re an Australian-based guild, thanks! ).

(ii) WvW players and leaders
* We have a stable interest in WvW (including a commander) and are building our presence. We would like to recruit players with experience in, or a desire to learn and get in to WvW to help our guildmates in this area. Perhaps you’re a player from one of the upper tiers who’s reading this and thinking about making a difference to Fissure of Woe which (at the time of writing) is in the lowest tier? You could be a very significant influence in our server and within our guild.

(iii) Multi-linguists
* Many of the Guild leaders are able to speak second (European) languages. Although we do not require members to speak any languages beyond English (English is our language for guild chat) we have multiple guildmates with primary and secondary languages in Spanish, Italian, French, Polish, German, etc. Hence we’re very welcoming of Europeans (and indeed, others) playing at Australian peak times (circa 9AM onwards in GMT) and would like to hear from more!

Dear Sorcha, Dear Misshunbun,

Alpharius [Alph] is a smaller guild based on the European Fissure of Woe server consisting of a variety of players (low and high levels, casual and regular). We are an Australian-based guild, meaning that our peak activity time is in the evenings of the Australian East Coast time zone for weekdays (approx 9AM onward in GMT) and weekends. We have guildmates from across Australia and Europe and a good number of multi-linguists. We focus on PvE, and do some WvW. No pressure to be “regular” – you can be casual as you wish, and no dramas. Feel free to also “guest” over to fissure of woe to try us out.

Hello,

This is a minor issue that doesn’t affect my enjoyment of the game, but wanted to flag it incase there’s something more problematic deeper down.

I have a toymaker bag equipped to my character and visible (not hidden). When I use /dance, the bag suddenly vanishes from the character’s back. And when I stop dancing, the bag reappears. The bug is repeatable for me.

Thanks for your time!,

Hi there,

Alpharius [Alph] is an Australian based guild on the EU Fissure of Woe server. We usually game at peak hours (evenings) in the GMT+10hr time zone (i.e. Australian East Coast; Melbourne, Sydney) and weekends.

We’d like to try to build up the community (PvE incl. dungeons , WvW, RP’ing, occasional PvP) who are gaming at those times. Therefore on behalf of the guild, I’d like to cordially invite readers to say “G’Day” to the guild should you be online at those times, and consider joining; whether you’re Australian or not. Guesting from other servers most welcome too.

Guild Information can be found here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Guild-Wars-2-Guild-Compendium/page/16#post1403185

If you feel you’d like to be part of Alpharius, feel free to contact me (player name: Aldronia), or the other guild leaders (Divv, Ulna Stormborn, Lemon of Steel) in the game.

We look forward to hearing from you!,

The Sylvari aesthetic appealed to me: the approximation to humans, particularly the novel plant hairstyles! That, coupled with the youth of the race and them wanting to know more about the world they’re in – which was a bit like me when I started playing the game!

Dear ANet,

Thank you for opening this thread — its great to see that the designers are engaged with the community, only a few days out from the release.

For what its worth, I run a small but reasonably close-knit Australian-based guild on the Fissure of Woe server (a server with, arguably, a relatively low population compared to others). Since my guild is online at peak (evening) hours in Australia, this doesn’t overlap with many of the larger guilds around. We worry that we’ll effectively be locked out of many of the guild events due to the convergence of timing (i.e. even if we swapped guilds to a large guild, there’s a concern that events wouldn’t be triggered when we’re playing) and being a small guild. (aside: we really don’t want to lose the members we’ve played with for a while to a larger guild).

For the guild events, I would really like to run some for the guild at Australian peak times. But being a small guild means that it will take time to build to level 5 in the tree/s mentioned. As a solution, I’d like to see at least one guild event that can be run with a minimum of expenditure on release, perhaps through a new unlockable tech tree.

Most of the rest of the concerns expressed in this thread I share. I hope that the feedback helps shape a great experience for the future of guilds in GW2.

Best regards,
jabberjabber

Hi Bluetongue,

If you are still on Fissure of Woe and looking for a guild(?), then Alpharius [Alph] would welcome you. More details here (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Guild-Wars-2-Guild-Compendium/page/16#post1403185).

Hello Kusiobache,

Alpharius [Alph] is looking for new members if you happen to still be looking for a guild. see here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/guilds/guilds/Guild-Wars-2-Guild-Compendium/page/16#post1403185 for more info and pm me or message me in game if you’d like an invite.

Home World:
Fissure of Woe

Guild Name:
Alpharius [Alph]

In-Game Contacts:
Guild Founder / Leader: jabberjabber.6804
Co-Leaders: Tyrotoxism.6238, Vladimirdavid.5631, doyoueven.6703, NightJuJu.7241

Focus:
We rotate around PvE (this includes group events, dungeons, hearts, personal stories etc.) and WvW (we have a commander in our numbers).

Quick Notes:
-Founded by a group of mature AU-based uni friends (science postgrads and staff, who all have families and real life commitments), we welcome new members of every level to help grow the guild from our humble beginnings — feel free to contact / mail / whisper us in-game for a membership request.

-Many of our members are Australian-based / Oceania, but a growing fraction (more than a third) are EU-based. The Guild Leadership is usually online in the evenings in the AEST timezone (GMT+10hr — i.e. Vic, NSW, Tas, ACT) and UK/Central Europe timezone (GMT, and GMT+1hr), plus weekends. Clearly, this may suit some potential members more than others, but we don’t require new members to be on exclusively at these times, or even be in the same country. Indeed, we have many international guildmates who are active outside these times. Further members from around the globe would be most welcome to help us out (particularly in WvW).

-Additionally: some of the Guild Leaders and a number of regular members speak second European languages beyond English – further multi-linguists would be most welcome (but that’s certainly not a criteria for joining!; our guild chat language is English).

-We have members who range from casual and occasional, to frequent and experienced, from folks just starting out, to higher levels. We’re happy to welcome new players and old alike.

-All we ask is that members keep it positive, civil and polite, refrain from profanity and insults (similar to the rules on this forum really; discriminatory language won’t be tolerated), represent the guild in a positive manner (including giving helpful feedback, and suggestions on what to spend guild points on, and generally saying g’day to fellow guild members), help each other if practicable, and importantly: have fun!
