Guild Wars 2

I don’t know about other servers, but on Tarnished Coast, it’s nearly impossible to get into events like The Shatterer or Claw of Jormag unless you camp out in the zone at least 30 min ahead of time. I’ve been told that it’s due to a large number of people “guesting” on the server and if so, when is this nonsense going to stop? (and yes, I’ve tried joining guildies already there, but that method is sketchy at best; after a certain point, it doesn’t matter how many times you click “Join xxx in xxx.”)

I do love that after the initial investment, there’s no monthly fee. However, if I can’t get into world events, what’s the point? I’d actually rather pay a monthly fee in order to enjoy the game fully.

You’ve been told wrong, guesting is about the smallest thing causing this problem.

It will hopefully stop after the patch on the 26th because people won’t be able to get a guaranteed rare on every character.

Guesting on low population servers in order to do the event is a way to avoid the overflow… Since I’ve left BG i never had overflow issues on ET, and sometimes I get already with the event at 50% or less… However you would have to use the timer apropriate to the server you intent to guest.

I honestly think guesting isn’t a huge problem.

The real problem: I’m in very large guild, and many ppl have 3-5 characters. As each event happens ppl will announce it in guild chat, and swarms of us go to the event. With every player doing each event with every char they have, that’s what’s causing the problem. There are many people on each of these servers, each server has massive guilds of 500 members with 100+ members online all doing events.

I think most ppl are already getting bored with doing these events nonstop. Everyday i see less and less of my guild at these events. Overflow is already getting better on my server aswell.

The march 26th update fixes this problem (only 1 upgraded chest reward, per event, per account). I think this problem will be solved after this update.
