Guild Wars 2

I enjoy the new update, like the hectic zerginess in the arena, the loot is still pretty good, but what totally destroyed the fun for me this update was the missing WP and no instance for the gauntlet.

First off, no WP!?
If this was made intentional, let me tell you, not many people rezz, and if they do, they get teleported in to the dome a few seconds after, leaving you still dead on the ground.
Sure i can go to a dome with multiple people waiting to get in, but then i also have to wait for my turn longer.
Why is this a problem? Because when you´re fighting a hard boss, you´re “in the zone”, you don´t want to get back out and wait 15 minutes to get back in.
Plus the buff-food etc is pretty pricey since this update, only getting 2-3 runs within a 30 minute buff is quite annoying.
I don´t play this game to stand around doing nothing, watching others fight.

Second, no Instance.
My PC can handle any situation outside of a zerg just fine, but when there is 50-100 people around, everything is getting laggy.
Especially awesome when you are in the middle of a bossfight and the legendary spawns near your dome in the arena.
They should have made the whole gauntlet instanced, so framerates and connection lags are not an issue.

It´s a shame really, another good part of the content update was pretty much destroyed (for me) because of these massive oversights.

i never render combats below when im in the domes

perhaps your distance/lod settings are turned way up?

These are all valid points, and while some people may have experienced some or all of them to lesser or greater degrees, they’re definitely issues that Anet should address in upcoming content releases. +1

I think this thread explains it the best.

Laidri, being thrown outside the dome and being spawned dead and the timer in the gauntlets.
