Guild Wars 2

For the first time in my Guild Wars 2 history, I’ve been annoyed by another player being near me, for the simple fact that they were near me. They didn’t do anything wrong, they weren’t rude to me.

They did, however, start the un-instanced Hologram Projector and everything died before I could get to it. And then again. Many times I never even got a chance to get to the Projectors before they were destroyed.

I don’t want to have to race other players to have a chance at killing the Projectors, it makes a toxic community, rather than one that works together.

That definitely sounds like a problem but if everyone can activate them and then the killing is also open to everyone it could open up the possibility of large parties forming around one coffer and farming it repeatedly which I would assume is an exploit. Depending on the re-spawn timer.

In the meantime if someone is doing that I would suggest a whisper and party invite so you can work together instead.

It should just be like the door events from Halloween.

party does nothing. you would have to coordinate people extremely quickly around the map. Until you have everyone there, another zerg has overrun the projector. I hobbled from map to map trying to actively avoid players. sigh at least the pinatas are instanced. that could have gone smoother. I would at least like to hear the great dragon bash music while I run around LA, but someone forgot to put it in.

I usually just wait till here are 2 others there then activate. Anymore and you may not get in a kill and any less I feel I am hurting the “friendly” environment.

On a related note, can we please find a happy medium between “oh god not the princess dolls” and these guys? These are far to easy even solo IMO, hence they die to quickly.

your lucky, I ended up getting harassed
the guy kept saying “This is my turf, go away”

“Y u troll porting and stealing MY holographs”

I just….couldn’t stop laughing, I even tried explaining what gw2 does better than other memos but he was having none of it and either rage quit or blocked me

Have any of you guys tried going to the less populated zones to get the projectors. Have you tried guesting on to a low population server. Have any of you tried to use any problem solving skills at all to get these nodes or did you all rush to Queensdale on Tarnished Coast and immediately QQ. Im not trying to be rude here but Im not sure any of you are doing anything other than running into an obstacle and immediately throwing your hands up and saying its bork, game sucks. Heres a list of zones that contain the hollowgrams:

Queensdale, Kessex Hills, Brisbane Wildlands, Caledon Forest, Metrica Province, Plains of Asford, Diessa Plateau, Wayfarer Foothills, Snowden Drifts and Gendarran Fields

There are even more maps. I ran around dredghound cliffs because I happened to be there and noticed projectors. Was about half an hour and that too was overrun. It also has nothing to do with obstacles. It has something to do with the fact that I do not want to actively avoid people! GW2 is about playing together and helping each other and has established that feeling very well. Node steeling facilitates sabotaging others which I dislike. I would play PvP if I wanted that.

Haha, the memories…

Seems like the spawn rate is borked. Was spinning around Diessa and didn’t see a single one.

please don’t guest, I would rather enjoy my small population and enjoy this event without guesters yet again taking priority.

yep, this event conflicts with pretty much all of the promises in the manifesto. Its grindy, its buggy, it puts players in conflict, its pay to win (or at least skin).

I’m guesting on a low pop server….that says all you need to know about how badlythis content is designed.

For reference, I play on a lower population server, and I was running around in the least frequented of those maps. The issue is elsewhere though. I am not complaining that I can’t find a way to avoid other players effectively, I’m complaining that I should have to avoid other players at all.

Hahaha. And the camping begins!

Only make the holograms visible for the person that opens it

I waited 5 minutes for a hologram projector to activate, by myself, but I was nice enough to not activate it until the 10 people from the nearby waypoint had gotten close enough.

I activated it, only to be pushed back, and everything died before I got to lay a finger.

This is stupid. No good deed goes unpunished, yeah?

that’s just ridiculous. just give the monsters that pop out more hp or lower the amount of time it takes for them to respawn.
