Hey all, I'm working on map competion and pretty much all I need is World vs World maps, however, my server (Maguuma) is not..exactly.. *ahem* great at owning the map in WvW (not terrible but still.) Anyway, I was wondering if any of you could reccomend a server that is clearly owning the majority of the map at the moment, and a good guild to join at least for the week since I will be stuck there for 7 days Thanks so much!

Transferring to another server is the easy way out. I suggest you rally people on your server and go out and take over the locations you need for world completion.

You'll be lucky to find a server that has all four maps completely capped. I'd suggest looking at the various server vs server vs server threads to see if anyone's winning by a fair margin. That might give you an idea, though there's definitely no guarantee you'll get everything in a week the way locations flip.

I'm not going to suggest you stay with your server to rally it or whatever, especially if you're not interested in wvw (it's stupid wvw is required for exploration title), but chances are that whatever server you switch to you'll  have to pitch in for a bit.

Sorrow's Furnace is your best bet this week - http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

As a member of Dragonbrand it took me four weeks to complete all of the maps. Not until two weeks ago when we defeated NSP and SF were the maps open enough for me to run around safely and grab everything. Even then, had to do so in the middle of the night.
My friend, on the other hand, hopped to TC when we faced them a while back, and did all four maps in one day.
Funny note, we actually fought each other, just for the heck of it. XP
(This friend and I completed the pve maps together, so we knew each other's builds. It was fun.)

But yeah, hit up Sorrow's Furnace.

Dont go into T1 is all i have to say. It constantly changes, although i did finish all my WvW maps.

[Zheo]

Thanks for the info, this is of use to me as well...I transferred servers to complete the WvW maps...infuriating that I have to do WvW for 100% but such is life.

Why is Sorrow's Furnace the best bet this week? Greatest evolution score?

[CalmLittleBuddy]

Call me weird, but I try to complete them when my server owns very LITTLE of the map. It's a watch and wait with the keeps and towers, but the vistas, skill challenges and open POIs are fun to try and get without being ganked.

I can see not wanting to wait for the keep POIs, but I've found that's it's a simple matter of waiting for the right time of day, and the right rotation. I hop on WvW all the time, so maybe that's the difference. If you want to spend as little time in WvW as possible, then yeah, check the WvW threads and look for score updates and hit the server with the huge PPT.

I'm on Sorrow's Furnace and can confirm.  We've had all 4 maps nearly 100% capped since the beginning of the new match-up.  Little to no activity in Sorrow's Furnace Borderlands and the Eternal Battlegrounds (map chat in EB is mostly memsers offering portals up the jumping puzzle) and both maps are consistently 100% Sorrow's Furnace controlled.  Henge of Denravi and Eredon Terrace Borderlands are seeing the most activity.  Both maps are nearly 100% under Sorrow's Furnace control with mostly camps (and the occasional tower from time to time) being flipped by HoD and ET .  Sadly HoD and ET just don't have the numbers right now to cap much of anything.  So the majority of the activity in our WvW maps this week is SF players getting their WvW map completions.

Weeks like this are totally crummy for WvW action.  But totally awesome for getting your map completions on.  If anyone is looking to transfer to get their WvW map completions, Sorrow's Furnace this week is the place to go.

Ugh, seeing that makes me sad...too bad I torched my free server transfer this week to help a friend.  Hopefully Sorrows Furnace owns all next week and I can get my WvW completion.

Thanks for the info, Manoa.

Sadly, odds are very slim.    Weeks like this come very, VERY rarely to Sorrow's Furnace.  Usually only happens when we get our bums completely handed to us and we get knocked down to a tier with low pop and/or fair weather servers (more fair weather than us Sorrow's Furnace folk, that is ).  Looking at the current projections for next week's match-up, we may end up going up against Borlis Pass and HoD.  Borlis Pass has put up a good fight in the past, so doubtful we'd *completely* dominate the maps with such a match-up.  However, if we maintain at our current crazy pace, there could be a chance we may end up going against Northern Shiverpeaks and/or Dragonbrand again next week.  And those servers royally kicked our bums last week (partially thanks to the event and us all being distracted by the shiny FotM).

Either way, don't think we'll be seeing such map domination again for quite some time.

It depends. HoD is going to stay in that tier next week so that means SF can beat up on them. But ET is moving down to a lower tier and Borlis Pass is moving up. I am not familiar with Borlis Pass, so the SF person can probably better tell you how the match up against them would be. You could try to wait for HoD to fall into the same tier as ET again. If that happens, whomever the third server is will probably beat the crap out of them. I feel so sad for those servers. Their WvW morale is utterly shot.

I was lucky enough to get map completion in like two days that one week when IoJ was beating the crap out of people (I think it was ET and CD? Don't remember).

Based on the new rankings, any ideas what would be a good choice this coming week if you're going for completion?

Hard to make a call.  But if I had to speculate, next week is going to be a good week for WvW and a bad week for map completions.  At this point in time, the majority of tiers are projected to remain as-is going into next week.  Which means they're going to be pretty even match-ups.  It may be worth keeping a close eye on Anvil Rock v Eredon Terrace v Gate of Madness to see how things shake out in that tier over the weekend.  Maybe also keep an eye on Sorrow's Furnace v Borlis Pass v Henge of Denravi  (though I highly doubt that we on Sorrow's will have nearly as much of the map controlled as this week).

[Zheo]

Thanks for the info...please keep the thread updated as you can for those of us going for completion

Thank you so much! Transferring in a few minutes!

Fair warning...ET and HoD are stepping up their game and we don't have as much control as before.  But we Sorrow's folk still have a lot of the map and we're able to reclaim points relatively quickly.  

[Yarz_Widow]

I say just stick it out it took me 4 weeks to complete mine but I'm 99% wvw time

[Leyana]

You could try to wait until the Wintersday even starts and find a server that cares more about WvW than event rewards. It's not much but that could help.

[Zheo]

UPDATE: Borliss Pass has owned ALL the WvW maps the last two overnights in EST (so that would be midnight to 8 am EST...you do the conversion).  If you need WvW map completion, head over to us on Bro-lis Pass.  We be dominating.

[Im Legion]

Aurora Glade (EU) is also a great server atm for getting WvW completion. In the morning they'll usually have all points captured and the opposing forces will have perhaps 5-10 people on.

[Ctaardvark]

Apologies for the slight thread Necro but this seems to be the best place for this...
I need one of the Tower POI's in the bottom left/green section of EB, as far as I know the green section is always held by the top team in each tier, is that right?

Can anyone recommend a server which is likely going to hold that section of the map in the next WvW reset starting 11/01.

Forgot to mention-it's an EU server I'm looking for.

[Ngamok]

Go to Kaineng.  They own pretty much the entire WvW map.
