Guild Wars 2

Feeling a bit let down by this event, not so much by the content, I’m sure I would of enjoyed it if not for the crippling lag and disconnects.

I was online every night at start time and every night was the same thing, complete lag chaos. The first two nights were managable, it lagged a lot and would inevitably hang at some point, DC and put me in a different overflow to my guild but I got through them. The final night however was so bad that I couldn’t continue past the ancient karka section.

After an hour plus of having pretty much zero control over my character’s actions I asked myself “Is it worth it?” The game was freezing for 30 seconds or more at times and I felt like I was making no contribution to what was going on, other than providing other players with xp for reviving me from the deaths that I couldn’t see coming. I had had enough, feeling utterly frustrated I switched to an alt and went back to Lions Arch.

Today I’m reading people who got to the end of event chain and then DC’d by the servers are being allowed to claim their chest.

So my question is this… What about those of us who would of completed the event had it been playable? Can we run the event again? Will we get some sort of compensation?

ANet have said compensation will occur for those who got disconnected at the final event

Sorry, but the standards went out the window along with the manifesto……

It was strange that the opening event was freeze frame for me.Where as phase three with much more going on,and three times as many players around me as phase 1 was a much smoother ride.It did have its moments,but at least I could move and my skills & weapons activated straight after i pressed the keys.

This is still a new game in my eyes, there are bound to be bugs and problems for the first few months as that is how it is with every new game that comes on the market. The event was far from perfect granted but if you received a nice reward just because you got frustrated and logged out then surely people could say “I did’nt even log in because i knew there was problems, can i have a reward”.

Just put it down to experience and move on imo.

Raven, that’s because the first event was in Lions Arch, which stretches rendering capabilitys of most systems even when empty of players/mobs.
The other events were in an explorable zone, which are much better at handling data

I am in this boat.

I quit playing because the clipping / culling made the event un-fun for me. Now I find out there was a chance at pre-cursers. I still am toren on wheather or not I would have endured the crap gameplay for a change at a pre-curser.

What about those of us that spend $2500 on a rig to play this game and log out due to the lack of gameplay and visual appeal of invisible mobs.

If Anet can check logs to see who got disconnected at the end they can check mine and see I was doing the event chain. Why would I stop doing a one-time event?

I wanted to participate but the lag was unbearable. Now hearing people got precursors for being willing to ride a laggy train for hours is slightly annoying.

I don’t think they’ll give the reward only to those who got kicked at the end, it would be unfair to those who got disconnected way before, or those who couldn;t get near the place because of the lag… just give anyone who hasn;t already pened the chest the chance to get the reward, of course make it by account so that we don’t have people opening it more than once and getting many precursors.

I got compensation in the form or real life. I don’t care nor do I feel entitled to a reward.

I would also like to know.

It was unplayable for me with culling and lags. During the part 2 of the finale, I asked myself if it was worth all the pain and the already big 15 silver repair bill I had. The event wasn’t fun, it was long, boring, tedious… My monitor even closed all by itself once because of how hard it was to generate lol.

I would have stayed in the lag/freeze fest until my laptop bleed if I had known. Q_Q

So far, I got nothing from this whole event. Didn’t earn anything from Phase 1 (even had bugged NPC/events), didn’t earn anything from Phase 2 neither. A big waste of time and a big amount of lag.

We who chose to spend our real life Sunday doing this one time event are entitled to a somewhat playable experience.

I understand that the game is new-ish and bugs need to be ironed out, but the stability issues made this event completely devoid of enjoyability.

The loot at the end is game changing in terms of the economy, but we shouldn’t of had to lower our tolerances to obtain it.

I’m in the same boat. It really would be nice to be given a chance at it without all the crazy bugs.
