Guild Wars 2 Joooooin Usss

[smilodon]

If nothing else it's much like Star Wars in that you can pick a race, play through the story line and explore the world almost as a single player game.

 It would be nice to meet up with dMw'ers and get some group stuff done but it's still a blast to play even if you're the only one on line.

SO which server *are* we on.   Is it the same one I wonder.  Asura Necromancer on Underworld. Tealeaf.8047

[Galatoni]

I'm on underworld like a good number of us. Not sure how many are on other servers though. Need to sort a meetup at some point.

New GW2 players are on Underworld, people from the original dMw guild are on Gandara, which are mostly inactive.

You can still join the new guild whichever server you join.  The limitation is in WvWvW which is inexistent on Underworld.  Doing well in WvWvW provide considerable bonuses.

You should already have an account on Gandara TL, from that guest pass I gave you at launch.

Also transferring servers is free if you don't have any characters.  So if anyone is still low levelled, store your stuff in the bank, delete that character and move to Gandara, were the WvWvW bonuses will result in faster levelling, better crafting, and stats which will make end game content more manageable.  You can still join the new guild if building a new one is preferred, and you can still play with everyone else.

So am I on the wrong server?

Should we all be on Gandara?

Who's calling the shots?

Who won the FA Cup in 1961?

1) Depends what you want to do.  But if you don't want to gimp yourself, you are on the wrong server.
2) Yes, since dMw has been on Gandara since 2012.  Everyone who played when the game went live has accounts there.
3) Officially? No one I guess.  I was GL before the game went into "No longer floats the boat".  Sith created a new guild and asked people to join him on Underworld after the core game went free.

I talked to Sith about the issue that now the community is divided (Some minor grouping still possible, depending on map instances), however he doesn't want to relocate to where dMw was at when GW2 was a supported game (The new guild can be kept).  This situation would have easily been avoided by asking around, or looking in the games of old section, but that was not done.  And here we are now.

Sorry. What does this mean? I read that it hurts us in WvWvW but I don't know what that means.

A server doing well in WvWvW earns points that fill out meters.  Once a meter is filled, everyone on that server gains a bonus to one of the below, up to their max.  In addition to those bonuses, when a server wins a WvWvW tournament, everyone on that server gains currency, and a myriad of long lasting buffs, skins, pets, and other items.  Doing well in WvWvW means you're also getting more WvWvW rewards, gaining XP and other stuff.


Max bonuses:

Artisan: 20% increased chance of crafting critical success.  (Extra crafting experience (skill level) when crafting, and resource refund)
Defender: 10% increased defense against monsters.  (Less damage taken)
Energetic: 10% endurance regeneration bonus.  (Used to doge attacks)
Gatherer: 20% chance of additional gathering node uses.   (More gathered resources)
Medic: 10% increased healing effectiveness.  (More HP healed per healing skill used)
Robust: 10% increased maximum health.  (More max HP)
Scavenger: 10% bonus coin per kill.  (Extra currency)
Wisdom: 10% bonus experience per kill.  (Extra XP)

So, you're levelling yourself and your skills faster, gaining more currency, and killing/surviving more in combat.  In addition to the tournament rewards, which contain stuff you normally have to buy with gems (premium currency).

Underworld is at the 26th out of 27 positions on the ranking list.  Gandara is ranked 9th.

Thanks for the clarification.

[Sn00ks]

What I have gleaned suggests that if you delete your characters you can then restart and pick a different server. As mine is only level 5 I am quite happy to delete it and start again.

What we need is a responsible adult who can make a decision!!!

[Jamoe]

Seems like we really should be considering a move. Is anyone here against a server move to Gandara?

Who's already active and on Gandara?

[Sneakytiger]

well i think we should stay on underworld, as we have a fair few of us on here now.

[OldBloke]

I'd like to hear the counter-argument to moving. If, for example, we're just going to play casually when we've got an odd hour or so to do so then does it *really* matter where we are based?

[Gorion]

Who's already active and on Gandara?

From the old crew, just me at the moment.  There should be another level 80 coming back early next week, and possibly others since the expansion is re-igniting interest.

As for inactive and on Gandara, every dMw er who purchased the game at launch.  Which ever server you are, you can still do some playing with someone from another server.

The bonuses and other benefits aren't a joke, so it's a no brainier.

For levelling up, do your initial quests and work on your personal quests.  If you're stuck, just shout out and someone should help.  At any level you can go into WvWvW and join a zerg wich will net you XP.  Crafting and a number of tasks will also give you XP.  Picking up something from the floor, and taking it some place can level you up (Hearts).  Plus, jumping puzzles.


Even if you have an odd hour or so, there is no counter argument, as those bonuses means that you will go farther in that available hour.

If we are voting my vote would be to stay on underworld as i have already paid 500gems to move from my American server SoR
