Things I’ve Learned by Playing GW2 WvW

I’ve been playing World vs World in order to obtain the Warclaw mount and I know I usually use this blog for roleplaying, but I want to voice some things that are interesting to me as a PvE player.

Commanders may or may not be reliable

I joined a small squad with a Commander that was “teaching” us but only used the /say chat. They also ran ahead without half of their 6 person squad so using /say in this situation was useless. Half of their messages in chat were also unreadable aka ridden with spelling errors from hasty writing.

I also joined a Commander with a large group attempting to take a keep and one specific tower. We would just be met with an opposing group that would destroy us and the Commander (and some of their posse) would just run away instead of pushing forward. Few would’ve survived the battle, but it would’ve been enough to take the areas. 

Though one time I found the golden Commander in which we took several towers, camps, and even a couple keeps throughout the skirmish.

Roaming is fun! But only for people who know what they’re doing

When I wanted a change of pace sometimes I would go off the beaten path and explore the map and join with a couple people to take camps or ruins. If I saw just one other person then I would have to run away. I couldn’t face a single person without getting killed, especially as a Herald. 

TeamSpeak???

I can only assume this is what that one Commander meant by “TS”. I’m shocked that people still use TeamSpeak. Though even if they used Discord, I probably wouldn’t join it since I’m only doing WvW temporarily at this point to get the Warclaw.

Said Commander got mad that some people weren’t using it but was also probably aware that there were plenty of PvEers working on getting the Warclaw. That Commander did not get a tip from me.

The most successful attacks I have been part of has lots of communication in chat. Even if there was a TeamSpeak or Discord I did not know of, expressing what is actually being done in chat is invaluable and Commanders should know this. 

Servers matter - and I’m disappointed with mine.

Long story short, I was originally on Tarnished Coast and my guild leader (which, at the time I thought I would be with this guild for a while. I have since discovered this guild is not to my liking) told me to join Northern Shiverpeaks.

A server change does not come cheaply and I’m certainly going to pay for it. My friends play on TC, which is a full server, and will take 1500 or so gems to switch back. 

Might add to this as I discover more things, but overall a;lsoiashf;ajsfe I love and hate WvW. I don’t know if I’ll stick with it.

// Thresholder (the boss in the Beast’s Castle attached to the door) is one of the COOLEST bosses imo

// The scene in Where Nothing Gathers after the Organization confronts Sora for the first time is interesting to me. This is a point when the player would know NONE of the Organization. Days was made 4 years after KHII and that’s when you really get to know the Organization. But watching this over and knowing exactly who’s saying what is interesting. Here’s the script:

Xaldin: Do my eyes deceive me? Does he really have the power to wield the Keyblade? He’s nothing but a boy.

Xigbar: Give him a chance. It means he’s straight as an arrow. He’s pure of heart, unlike all of us here.

Saix: He had better be, or else he’s worthless. 

Luxord: I truly hope he’s enjoying himself on his adventure. Maybe he’d like a hand to determine his fate.

Demyx: Hey, as long as it works in our favor. We can let him do what he wants for now. Then we’ll all jump in if needed.

Xigbar: Those are bold words coming from you. Are you saying you’ll volunteer to take care of it if things go wrong? Huh?

Demyx: What!? Me? NO, you have the wrong guy. I’m not comfortable with that. 

Xaldin: You act as though you have a conscience. When was the last time any one of us felt anything?

Luxord: Truer words were never spoken. Well, I suppose the fun will have to wait.

Saix: Do you know what happens to those who lose their true purpose? Inevitably, they destroy themselves.

Xemnas: Gentlemen. The hero of the Keyblade has embarked on a new adventure. Make sure it is one he will remember. Now go.

// Rewatched the scene on youtube to get all of the words down. Any of you kh people following me are free to reblog this if you’d like for hc purposes or reference or whatever. Just an interesting scene I wanted to point out. Also I believe Saix was the one who said those words, but I may have mixed him up with someone? I’m not 100% sure on him.
