Guild Wars 2 Commander Camp -- Reading The Map To Find Enemy Groups

-- The in-game map and minimap in World vs. World contain a ton of information about where groups are moving on different borderlands. Once you know what to look for, you'll have an easier time finding fights, or staying out of the way of them. Despite being a part of Commander Camp, this is definitely a video that any World vs. World player should be able to benefit from.

5:53 objective only full repair on upgrading to Tier2 and Tier 3 but not Tier 1. Great content.

I actually did not know this. Great tip. Enjoy the pin.

Thanks for your videos, I never knew about using the objective's panel to check the claim queue. That is ingenious! I have a question about scouts, since you mentioned them at the end of the video. What's the culture around it? Do some groups specifically assign a scout to stay at an objective and call out enemy movement? Like assigning a roamer to defend/scout Bay while the squad takes Hills? Or is it usually left up to PUGs to scout, and to just ask for "eyes on Bay?" in map chat when white swords pop? I've seen most squads do the latter, and most calls in team chat/map chat seem to be from spontaneous roamers who happen to be at the right place at the right time (or the wrong time... "20+ on Lord, t3 keep" (it's the first and only call) 😂

[@sheffplaysgames]

Both your points are true, but the first one is pretty uncommon. The groups I run are generally fight-oriented, and don't run designated scouts. We just let people in map chat call out objectives. Something we will do, from time to time, is if people need to afk for a few minutes they will afk near the lord of an objective. If we see the afk person go down, we know that we can head to that objective to get a fight. I think the majority of the time though it's just people who happen to see an enemy group on the move, and call it in teamchat.

Great video! I have one question, does alac, quickness and might ect affect siege, like catapults and so on? Is it worth to buff these players?

[@sheffplaysgames]

Alac and Quickness do work, I do not think Might works, though. It's generally worth it to Alac siege if you're in a hurry, Quickness doesn't do as much. But that's not really my whole area of expertise. :)
