Hey everyone, just participated in the latest Gaiscioch WvW event. I noticed something that I think we definitely should consider.
I remember in Warhammer Online, when there were the weekly events happening in the RvR lakes, there was always someone putting instructions into map chat for the PUGs to follow along the zerg. I thought this was great, and really gives our whole team a direction, rather than some of us in Raidcall, just praying the zerg can do something useful.
I think a big reason the latest event was so rough, at least in the Borderlands I was in, was because Sanctum of Rall was fielding so many PUGs that honestly just weren't being all that useful. If Gaiscioch could do in GW2 what they did in Warhammer, I think we could make our server more successful in WvW. Our opposition seemed to be very coordinated and seemed to be mostly all in one place. There were never small groups spread all over the map like we had at times. I think what we are lacking is direction in team/map chat.
Having all Gaiscioch in one place is grand, but having the whole server where they need to go is how we bring Sanctum of Rall victory.
All that being said, I realize that the leaders of the WvW events already have too much on their plate as it is, and it'd be rediculous if they had to put everything in team chat as well. That's why I would suggest a designated person who's in Raidcall, and can type fairly quickly and accurately, and communicate things clearly, to relay key information about our movements into team/map chat. I wouldn't mind filling this role myself.
This is something I noticed a ton in WAR that I havn't seen yet in GW2. I realize that maybe it's a bit early on for it, and it might develop naturally, but I thought I would help it along a bit. Having the PUGs organized for our server could've made tonight's event a lot more successful. This is a bigger problem in GW2 than it is in WAR, because of the caps on the WvW maps. Every person doing something silly is someone who could've gotten that crucial stomp or revive in at the tower.
Just something I'd like to see come back. That being said I'm having an absolute BLAST with Gaiscioch in WvW, and I love the level of organization and discipline we have. The leadership is fantastic, and you guys are doing great. Once everyone has learned the game a little bit better, and we learn eachother a little bit better, I think we will accomplish unbelieveable things for Sanctum of Rall. Keep it up. :)
Also: I think we should really to push to get Gaiscioch a Commander Book. I think this will help tonnnsss! Let's make it happen. :D
