spyglys.4793 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hello people \o/I hope you are all doing fine and don't crucify me for this post as I am sure there are loads of posts like this but I haven't been able to find the answers to exact questions that I have been looking for so please help me out!!Little backstory about me: I am/used to be a EU (7pm-10pm) prime time commander for both GvG guilds and Open tags. I would like to think I know what I am doing as I have been doing for almost 5 years now. I currently have taken a break and want to return to the game and start playing, however most of my friends on EU have left the game so I am looking for somewhere fresh and new to start., NA seems like a fine place to start fresh :)So what I am looking for a is a server that is willing to fight and mainly only fight (when I am commanding that is, if the server wants to ppt it's perfectly fine but I don't want to hear on TS/discord people moaning that I am only fighting and not ppting), I am a fighting commander so PLEASE UNDERSTAND PPT bores me to death UNLESS WE ARE SOMEHOW TROLLING or need to attack a T3 to get fights. I am looking for any tier server where during the image posted below times we can get a group large enough to have good fights (I don't want to win them all as it would be boring otherwise) but at the same time I don't want a brain dead server where people have no thumbs. https://imgur.com/a/EclBkaL Link to my play time (shows both EST and PST), it's basically 7pm GMT to about 1am GMT.https://wvwstats.com/na - website I used to see kills/deaths during EU Time.For me a good fight is roughly even numbers so can be 30v30v30 to zone blobs with +/- 10/15 people on each side.It would be cool if the server has some EU guilds that are semi-hardcore with interests in scrims etc.Benefits would be an open community that isn't to toxic (some toxicity is fine as for some reason skill always brings toxicity).I currently have no preference on the servers and tiers.If I move to this server, I can offer open tags at least 3 times a week during weekdays from 7pm GMT and being a willing and contributing member of the WvW Community.If you have any more questions, hit me up on discord spygliukas#2893 or ingame.Cheers Peeps! o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloRules.3560 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Why not just play on EU? I mean you are going to play in EU prime, looking for EU time guild. Interested in GvGs (which are pretty much dead on NA)... Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aridon.8362 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 People apparently enjoy ppt. Even more of the population would prefer not to fight at all and just cap keeps the entire time.I hate them too and I argued with people about this in the past, trust me you're not going to win even when you're right.

Interested in GvGs (which are pretty much dead on NA)... Why?Firstly, I am not looking for a Guild, I said it would be cool if they had guilds.... not a requirement.Secondly, I want to experience NA style of game play and maybe learn a thing or two from them or teach them a few things. EU would be great, however most servers are either so stacked that there is no competition or so salty that you don't wish to be there. There are nice communities however the differences between the nice community and some skill is to huge here. Hope that gives you so clarification.Cheers o7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that sometimes you will still get people who will scream for you to PPT so it will cause issues... but there are communities who strive for PPT and others who don't mind what happens. It's just really making sure the server I got to is not 100% invested in being a PPT server if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 If I got my US timezones correct, EU prime will alway around noon-14ish in the US, plus minus a couple hours. So I doubt any of them have particularly high activity then. But US peeps will know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiga.3075 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 From what I have seen during EU prime on NA server's is just easy uncontested ppt by people who can't fight because most NA servers are dead in EU tz. NA prime and OCX/SEA is when most of the fighting happens on NA servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagaliscious.6281 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 I would say join FA, but we are full, also our EU population is low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetoII.3782 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Most EU players are on EU servers. As with most EUtz guilds. That being said, there are populations during that timezone and SEA guilds staying up late.OP I think your idea is to command against a server already organized at that time? Good servers to oppose would be Blackgate, Northern Shiverpeaks or Kaineng. Other than that you'll be in the backcapping race that makes up so much of off hours WvW.With one caveat, weekends people/guilds are definitely active during EU as it's noonish for the east coast. If you login early on weekends, you'll also have SEA guilds to oppose on a different list of servers. If you're serious about driving routinely we also have our very own Illuminati on NA who might render guidance you'd appreciate. (But that's a secret, shhhh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crius.5487 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Being on KN, we do have a healthy population of players who are willing to fight during EU time zone. We also have an EU guild so transferring to a server that may oppose KN so we can have fights instead of knocking on doors would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boredom.3972 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 @Aiga.3075 said:and OCX/SEAYou're wrong on that one. NA has all the ocx/sea guilds but they're stacked on 2-3 servers so for most matchups it's a map blob karma training against 5-10 players.While EU servers don't have any ocx/sea guilds(if i'm wrong, hook me up), there's plenty of pugs to go around on all servers in all tiers. Servers with pugmanders always have action going around, though most commanders at these hours are ppt first.Same situation for EU timezone on NA, if you're not against one of the few servers with coverage, it's pve with no loot for a week.

Maybe 10 people and never any tags during the week. Even being in T1 I rarely even see BG during EU tz. SoS has a decent amount during EU tz tho.Note: this isn't a match up post. Just talking about time zone coverage so mods pls don't lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could use some decent enemy commanders to fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novahh.7426 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Fort Aspenwood would be good tbh, all FA needs is a solid tag and you will get an map que. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some servers have it some don't making this the hard task...I want to be on a server that opposes a server that has EU population but at the same time has enough to be able to put up a fight.@Optimator.3589 said:@Crius.5487 said:Being on KN, we do have a healthy population of players who are willing to fight during EU time zone.

Could use some decent enemy commanders to fight.Mi as in Monkey Inquisition or something like this? I mean if KN has a population of EU people, what server would be opposing this and do they have numbers but lack tags at that time to combat this?

spyglys.4793 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 My last question is since my game play time laps with EST a bit ranging from 3pm to about 6-7pm (maybe later depends on how tired am I) What time does prime time start in EST is the normal 7-10pm or is it earlier?

Djamonja.6453 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The top 6 population servers are all "full", the only other host server that leaps to mind with an active EU is HoD, but it's mainly just zerging down servers with small EU pop in tier 3-4. You could always join a linked server in tier 1-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All people look at this differently but EST prime on NA hours tends to start around 8:00 est, or 0100 gmt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
