Guild Wars 2 Commander Camp -- Commander Mentality and Managing Squad Morale

-- One of Indomir's favorite sayings is that commanders tend to be managers, and one of the reasons that's usually true is because commanding isn't just about knowledge of mechanics, it's also knowledge of how to talk to people in order to keep everyone working towards the same goal. In this video, I attempt to break down the fearsome complexity of some of these issues, along with two of Celestial's Omen's commanders: Rall, and Hells. Together, we talk about the strategies that we use when commanding to make sure our squads are having fun and playing well, as well as looking after our own mindsets as commanders.
-- As with all the videos on the channel, I draw suggestions for future topics from comments, so if you want to know more about these topics, get involved down below. Or, join the Discord, and continue the conversation there.
-- Before Commander Camp, I was a guest on Quietly's Say Chat podcast, where we talked about commanding in World vs. World. You can find those podcast episodes here: • Talking About WvW || S...

As someone who’s looking to start commanding post-WR start, this playlist has been fantastic. Thank you! 😊

Bro, you are making videos on things that no one else does. Additionally your voice , tempo, and attitude are awesome. Please keep making vids !!! How about a series on newbs on day one of WVW

It's in the works. I think we did a brainstorming session for it on the Discord a month or two ago. That's one where I think there's existing videos that do a pretty good job of it (Rediche and Nabcakes I think have the two best ones currently). So I haven't been too pressured to make it, versus stuff like this video, where there's just nobody talking about it. :)

I don't blame you for muting our comms. 😏

Truthfully, I wanted to include some of them, but it was already a 13 minute video. I'm still working out specific formatting of the collaboration videos. :)

Great video, Sheff, and big thanks to Rall and Hells for their input. 09:41 is an insightful section. It's important to alleviate a negative mood after losses. It helps to have some fun guildies who can crack jokes to raise morale. What surprises me is that so many people stay in guilds with AWFUL commanders who are verbally abusive. There are lots of guilds out there, friends! You can find a better group that doesn't stress you out and make you unhappy. With the worlds being deleted on June 14th, I hope more players can find new guilds with awesome commanders and the bad commanders will have no one following them anymore.

You've got five guild slots for a reason. It doesn't even need to be an awful, verbally abusive commander. If you don't feel like you and the rest of the squad click, it's okay to shop around!

lol CO is the most toxic guild I have ever encountered I do not care what they got to say tbh

@sheffplaysgames Ай бұрын

I don't think there's any guild on NA that's universally liked, including the one that I play for. Having CO guest here is just the start of a plan to include different voices and perspectives. I can understand your dislike of them, but there will be other groups featured as well. :)

@DeeDee-op1zy Ай бұрын

They bully other guilds like BADA by making fake guilds of them then trolling keeps spam chat verbally abuse other people in team for not playing like they do spam dm you hateful messages and reset nights have even used every drop of supply so no one can get any anywhere.

@DeeDee-op1zy Ай бұрын

I got video evidence of their harassment and even sexust and racist comments

@sheffplaysgames Ай бұрын

Fake tags and trolling have been a fixture of WvW for a very long time -- I've definitely done both before. But if you wanted to send me specific comments they've made that are problematic, I'd take a look at them. Maybe there's things that I don't know.

@@DeeDee-op1zy People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I don't know your personal role in BADA; I'm sure you're competent and nice. That being said, BADA doesn''t have a good rep, and as the nice content creator pointed out, no one in WvW is blameless. Welcome to war.
