Guild Wars 2 Guild organization thread.

Ironically, I decided to try out WvW last night.

It was a disorganized mess on our borderlands zone. There were some people trying to organize a defense of a supply point but it wasn't getting traction.

It didn't help my experience that I arrived and didn't have any good idea of what I should do.

Died a fair amount. The zone design is pretty cool, though. I'm willing to try some more and get through the bit of a learning curve.

Here is a link to a lot of decent guides, including several for wvwvw.

As a small group/guild we should just be looking to take over outposts and supply places etc.

I don't think we qualify as "small" anymore

Overall no, but the most of us I've seen on any specific WvWvW map at the same time has been 4.

If we actually ORGANIZED though, I'm sure we could get a dozen folks hopping into WvW for an hour or two to make a few key tactical moves. Multiply that by a few other guilds on the server, and we might get something going.

I have not attempted to queue up the past few nights. Maybe I'll give it a shot when I get home tonight.

For WvW, our world seems woefully outmatched by HoD. In contrast, we stomped all over our last two world opponents.

Perhaps the difference is this exodus (fewer people participating and/or less experienced people participating), or perhaps we were bumped up to much tougher opponents.

If the system works as advertised, we will eventually settle into more even WvW matchups. Only time will tell.

The trick is getting a group in at the same time. We've tried to group with folks who all queued at the same time get in much later(1hr+) than the guy who queued just 10 min prior actually getting in.

Once everyone gets in... it's nothing special. Group up like normal.

But that's the thing -- now that all of the big groups apparently have vacated NS, queue times are almost nonexistent.

I did a bit of WvW tonight and there was no queue. If we can get a decent sized group together, I'd be interested. WvW just sucks if you go in alone.

Wow. That is a big vacuum all of a sudden. Color me interested in some GWJ wvwvw action.

How does one get invited to the guild? My username is Taharka.2591.

I'd also like an invite please! UltimateBrent.4326

I added your info to our spread sheet linked in the 1st post and sent you a guild invite.

i queued up tonight and within 10 minutes was asked if I wantd to transfer into WvWvW. I was busy so I chose to leave the queue.
10 minutes. Any other time I've tried it I was never asked, even after a couple hours of being in the queue.

I'd say there is some room.

Invites are out to folks on the spreadsheet as of now.

I haven't had problems with queues lately either.

I think it would be great to get a guild group going! If you guys are on tonight just broadcast on gchat once a while if you're in / interested in going.
I'm usually on from 10pm through 1am EST or so.

I'm taking a half day from work today I'll be on from 2-6:30 Est have to hop off for my Accounting Class.

If anyone wants to run WvW I'll jump in the queue.

I'll probably be on for some WvW between both of you! 6:30 ish - 10ish ET.

I've been enjoying WvW here and there with my thief, I'd love to run with a smaller behind enemy lines kind of strike force, maybe tonight, I'll ask around in chat

FTFY

I may pop in for some WvWvWvWvW as well.
I too will have a small behind.

I'll look into transferring over tonight. I've put next to no time into the game, just an hour the day after launch, but I've been so busy with so many other things >_<.

Yeah... I saw that today It was late and I had a few before. I apologize.

Oh wow these threads are intimidatingly big... er, well, I'm playing now! I have done absolutely zero reading on this coming in. I'm on Eredon Terrace at the moment, not sure on how much of an issue that is, can I still join the guild for instance (and for instances!)?

I think I'd like to move worlds though, if I can't PvP with everyone from where I am. How does one go about transfering worlds and is it still free? My username is Redwing.3670 (I think?!).

I am... the Guild Wars 2 Noob!

Invite sent. Just hit G to open your guild panel to accept.

And I'm in. Finally. Anyone sees a noob of some sort with a name that starts with 'Zul' it's probably me.

I am also a thief and love this idea. I'm new to WvW and would really like to run with a few guildies to cause some havok. I will be on tonight if anyone else wants to get together.

Added to spreadsheet, would appreciate an in. But I do have a question... is the first post in this thread updated and current? Everyone is mostly on Northern Shiverpeaks, right? I thought there was a limit to the world transfers before we have to pay, I just want to make sure I don't waste them hunting for everyone. Thx!

Two copies of Guild Wars inbound. I'm working my way through the 16 pages of this thread now, will be signing on sometime this evening along with my wife.

Yep, all current. Most on NS and the server is only on Medium population as of a few hour ago when I started my character. Welcome.
