Hello there folks! I really want to get into this game but hell if I know what am I doing. There are so many maps and I still haven't found a good server where people follow objectives.
Any tips for a newb? What maps should I start with? Any EU based server you guys can recommend?
The game has training now, I'd suggest going through that. Also,
the wiki. Everything a newbie needs.
Dustbowl, Goldrush, Gravel Pit, they're all pretty popular. In fact any stock map other than Hydro is good to learn (Hydro only because nobody plays it anymore). Just create a local server and run around a map a bit, get familiar with its architecture. Do that as BLU, so you can go through multi-stage maps like Dustbowl. Don't bother with King of the Hill or Arena maps, they're so small and symmetrical you'll pick them up first time you play.
I don't know any EU servers, and the Janky GAF server is US based I believe. All I can suggest is avoid LotusClan and Nightteam servers, and any instant-respawn or 2fort servers. They're not playing for objectives there. You'll gradually whittle down to two or three servers you really like and you'll rarely leave them.
