Week 2 of the WvW beta. What are your thoughts so far?
Compared to week 1, reset was a lot smoother. There was still some fuckery with the borderlands opening when they shouldn't. Queue times were reasonable. That could be simply an issue of less people trying to play. We had very minimal lag as well.
Saturday night was typical with the lag as well.
I'm on Skrittsburgh and apparently the red team guys are from Mag lol
I decided to go into this beta without a big alliance group to see how it will be as a pug, and I've only played a total of about 5 hours these last few weeks as it's just awful.
I've seen a whole bunch of commanders speaking all different languages, running god knows what builds, all with their own discord to join... our enemies conversely are organised omega alliances with 60+ on meta classes in an organised discord...
not fun as pug and probably not fun for the enemy.
Thinking forward to go live, the life of a new player and general pugs is going to suck super hard, and without new players and pugs we're doomed
Thank you for sharing your perspective. I feel we had the opposite experience but I'm in a really cool fight guild. I never run without them.
Are you EU or NA?
EU.
When it goes live I'll be fine as I have about 3 large alliances I could join plus in an active open field fight guild.
But that is why I wanted to try this beta as a pug, to get a different perspective, and it's bad
I figured as much. I'm NA and we don't really have an issue with language barriers. Some spanish/portuguese speakers but they stick to english in the chat in my experience.
