Guild Wars 2

I have an idea for future events like this..Make them instances, that will bring a random set of people, with say a limit of, maybe 50 or so? Then we won’t get as much lag and be able to actually do something

We CAN"T play with this amount of lag, the skills are almost a 7-8s delay..

Or have a test server and let people know what time you are going to start the event. I think you will be surprised on how many people would help out with this!

I agree 100% That would be a great idea..

I have a suggestion also.

Don’t bother and spend time fixing severely underpowered classes (IE ranger) rather than feeding them BS on their forum.

And don’t put the entire population of a server in one small area of a map.

Agreed, this was a poorly thought out idea and pretty bad implementation.

QFT! I know how you feel as a Ranger!

Stress test or fun event? You decide.

Instances will help FPS, but not server lag.

Clearly, the coding and infrastructure is not up for events like this. My advice is first to hold future events of this nature. One more like this and they will become a joke. I applaud the desire to deliver interesting and varied content. Take it back to the drawing board. Determine the kinds of things you can actually pull off given the limitations of codebase and infrastructure. GW2 is a great game and really doesn’t need monthly events anyway.

Instances will help, if they stop making everyone connect at the same time.

As cool as world-chaning events happening live may seem to many people, the downside is massive lag, and with lag you simply can’t enjoy the content.

And enjoying the content is clearly better than not enjoying it. The content is pointless if I don’t enjoy it.
