you can get the warclaw very easily, just check the wiki for the exact steps. I've seen people who are only wvw rank 8 with warclaws out.

Warclaws are easy to get, but shouldn't be the first thing to unlock because Gliding is vastly more important and useful.

WvW is still active provided yur not stuck in a timezone where there is low/no activity for yur server and yur getting constantly ravaged by the enemy while huddling in keeps/towers and calling for help.

WvW is active on the blob servers. WvW is highly inactive on the servers that get blobs down. Let me tell you it's no fun fighting a blob server when your server is dead because everyone else is dishearten by the uncontested power of the blob.

I'd much rather deal with the performance issues in Cyrodiil in ESO. Than to deal with being ever outnumbered by blobs servers in GW2. More so where there are Warclaws and the Rally mechanic.

Sorry but no, the mount lets you get by most places without needing the glider. The only place you would need it is if you're going to spend significant time on desert bl and it's high cliffs, but even then you can get by easily on the mount. Plus the glider isn't going to let you keep up with groups all across maps. In any case you only need 3 points to unlock gliding and 1 for warclaw to start, but all efforts should be made to master the warclaw first.

As others have mentioned , it vastly depends on the server and the time zone. You may assume a T1 server has a huge audience 24/7 but is only active during the times the other servers are “asleep”. Also, since relinks are coming up, player action will be chaotic for a bit as far as coverage as each server has their “main tag” that pulls numbers and content.

Yea nah, those barriers or firebrands wont keep ppl alive when meteors regularly hit for 10-15k in 1 hit, rev hammers also 10k.

Who could ever die from that, when most classes in wvw run around with around 20k hp.

If your zerg cant kill anyone in this burst heavy meta, than they are doing something very very wrong.

And this. Mount is op and should honestly be removed (wont happen).Just put the first point in to start the reward track, use celebratiin boost, guild boost and exp boost to get through as quick as possible, if you follow a zerg you should be done with everything when you finish the track. And have those few points for gliding ontop.

We don't have zerg and i wouldn't run in zerg anyways. Go drop meteor shover in zerg and even if they crit 20k every time you still won't kill anybody. Would be actually funny test how much damage you can do one player inside zerg before he goes down.

Then why do you say that there are many ppl to kill but no one dies? If you dont even have a zerg nor played in one then you have no experience to talk about.I play mostly in zergs nowadays and im telling you, ppl die, alot.

And yes, a 20k meteor will most certainly kill someone, are we talking about the same game here? How much hp do you think most ppl are running around with in wvw? And like i said its not even 1 ele alone, there are 50+ppl trying to kill each other, get hit by 2 big spells and you are dead in under a second.Phase smash regularly hits 9k+. CoR still does more than enough, drop the hammer, necro wells, and many more.

Ive seen ppl get hit by guildgroups with staff thiefs, staff 5 vault doing 20k+ dmg on a single target, and that thing is an aoe lol.

Ps. An ele doesnt need to stand inside the enemy to hit meteor....

it likely varies from server to servers. blobs on t1 servers are mainly around early evening times, especially friday till sunday. on the weekend the whole day can be having higher activity, the nights too. but full time zerg coverage, not at all.

wvw overall is still active, just most action is bay far zerg battles with up to 20-25 people against another servers clouding 15ish people. t1 has active players till including nighttime, but not big numbers. zergs in nighttime are not easy to stop, blobs are impossible to stop - some servers do bring blobs on weird times like 8am during the week, but that isn't a regular happening.

i don't understand why people see map queues as a good thing? I don't have much free time to play, I'd much rather jump in and play instead of waiting 30mins to get in

You fight the 20 man PPT groups on the borderlands till your queue pops then you get some content. Its not really a WvW match at that point but the fights can be fun if your server didn't decide to give up for the week again.

I don't know if it's different from server to server, but in my case, what I see mainly is either blobbing or ktraining, what I personally find quite boring (matter of taste of course). It's rare to have "real" fights of organized squads. The few times we are lucky enough to get some, we really enjoy.
