Guild Wars 2

Agree’d with both post as these changes actually made LA worse. Not to mention nothing else in LA is getting done. There simply isn’t enough time in between.

I agree with the OP. I liked Escape from LA. I don’t like Battle for LA. Trying to force an entire server to coordinate is just frustrating for the WvW people AND the PvE people. Nevermind that Anet is rewarding the servers with a high WvW population and punishing the servers without.

And of course forcing players to change their build to deal with the Scarlet fight – nice way of letting us play how we want.

Agreed. This whole event is an untter trainwreck.

Even though I liked the storyline of the LS… I have to agree that this whole huge guild / high server population stuff is getting annoying.

ANet should keep the battles if they want, but for petes sake get some downward scaling in there when there’s fewer people online or it’s off peak hours.

I preferred the original battle where players could choose to zerg or to divide their numbers. Not this forced mechanic of 50 people max per boss.

Let players play how they want to play again instead of putting artificial blockades and restrictions that only serve to reduce our fun.

This game isn’t supposed to be about fun!

Its supposed to be about keyboard shattering frustration until you figure out the one specific out of a million build/weakness that becomes insta-win every time, all the time…just like the first game!

Play your way? Pttf!! yeah right

Much though I understand they had good, non-malicious reasons for the changes, this thread title makes me think of this:

Gosh darn it the link is failing. It’s a 1950’s Peanuts cartoon where Lucy takes all of Linus’ toys and tosses him a rubber band to have fun with. He goes to town, really having fun with it, and she comes to take it back “not THAT much fun!”

LOL Donari

Great post. I only wanted to add that this pressure cooker had caused the toxicity in LA to explode exponentially. EfLA was actually FUN, even though you had the afk’ers at the three entrances. The ONLY good things about BfLA is:

- the dailies, so far, have been extremely easy
- there are now armor repair NPCs by the three entrances
- we can still get those doggone heirlooms

I know that it’s bad to get to the point where you feel that you have to tell people off when you’re merely trying to be as helpful as you can, but I think I’m there. Thanks, ANet. Thank you for thoroughly ruining LA for good.
