To start off, let me say that I'll probably be entering WvWvW alone, I won't have a small group or a large group of people with me when I do it. So what am I supposed to do there? I've seen that they added sentries in a recent BWE and that sentries are meant to be a soloable to give solo players something to do.
But apart from that, I've seen that supply camps are the main source of supply which is the currency to put up siege weapons and all that jazz. But how does that work? Do I need to carry supply on me by visiting a supply camp? Or is it something that is accumulated on its own and spent on its own when someone uses a siege weapon? If it is something that you carry, what happens to it when you die? Does it drop or do you still have it on you when you respawn?
How are siege weapons deployed anyway? Where do you get the schematic or plans to use them? I've seen guides that say you can use siege weapons but none of them say where they are available. What does it cost to buy them and use them?
Additionally, what are the ranks in WvWvW...I've seen something about a Commander rank or something along those lines? How does one obtain that, and what is its purpose?
Sorry if it seems like this is something that should be obvious, but I haven't come across this info anywhere and with less than 9 days to the headstart, it seems like I'm woefully under-prepared for WvWvW.
