Confirm you are using a supported connection (Guild Wars 2 requires at least a broadband connection to ensure the game will run smoothly). Reset your router and modem. Rebooting your modem can fix connection problems, improve slow connections, and clear out any issues stored in the memory of your router. Takedown request View complete answer on Of course, if you are there for the event, not much can be done with it other than to play the event with other players. You can keep trying because sometimes a slot opens up, but again, if you are there for an event, just play with the other players. Going back to WvW. GW2 is currently testing a guild-based WvW instead of a Home Server-based WvW. If you are both in the same regions (NA or EU) and you aren't going to play WvW with them then no, you don't need to do anything. GW2 uses megaservers so you can play together regardless of your home server. Just party up and join their map (you might have to force the join map with the drop down options) And if you're in a party/squad together You're not. Once the game launches (or you're in the head start, presumably), you can pick an all-new server. For an unspecified time after release, server changes are free. Once the game's population stabilizes, it will then cost a set amount of gems to transfer. kakashik99992 11 years ago #4. kokocabana.8153. World servers only matter for WvW. For the rest of the game, the only separation is between NA and EU servers. All players on NA servers play together and can't play with EU players and vice versa. So as long as you don't care about WvW gameplay, then your friend can join any NA or EU server depending on which region you are in. If not, oops :/. Anteraz 11 years ago #2. You have to choose a home server. You are connected to that sever for Server vs Server PVP (WvW) Otherwise you can play on any server, any time. They call it being a "guest" in another server, even though you can do everything that you would be able to on your home server. If you download a patch, you cannot join the instances of players who did not download the patch. We both restarted our games so that it could update. Both of us had the most recent patches downloaded. This is still occurring after the Wintersday updates and the patches a few days ago. Members. 1.8k. If you play with friends, play on the same server so you can join the same WvW for the time being. Other than that it doesn't matter everything is a megaserver. Reply reply we're in the middle of a WvW restructuring beta, which features an automatic matchmaker/teammaker. if you are currently not already on your guild's team, then you won't be able to play with them, until this Friday's reset. that's when WvW goes back to the server-based system, and presumably you're on the same server as your guild, you'll be able to play with them. It sounds like it's either all AI or all players though, so if you just have one friend you want to play through the story with you're out of luck. That's something I really appreciate about GW2, I really like having the freedom to do personal story alone or to jump in with a friend and progress together. 7tIFNpY.
