Guild Wars 2

As I mention in other posts, LA is already suffering of an overpopulation problem and that’s no surprise, as it’s on the centre of the map, has far more content than the other cities and no LFG system or linked chat have been implemented yet. In the mean time, the rest of the cities are ghost towns…

If A-net continue to focus their one times events on that small space, I won’t be able to land a single shot from the infinite amount of lag. I was in the midle of the event with my guns spamming all my skills and they refuse to obey untill at least half a minute later where whatever I was supposed to shot is was dead. At least I didn’t get DC in this second event, but that doesn’t change the fact that I wasn’t able to land a single shot in both of them, let alone getting any reward…

Moving the fractal dungeon might help. Maybe make the observatory a city, instead of an instance, so that all the LFG Fractal spam moves in there.

LA is a travel hub. It’s going to be popular whatever they do. So I don’t get why they want to make it more popular.

I had terrible lags even in the Lost Shore location during the event. Event itself can bring enough ppl to make the game unplayable. They need to fix their code or make ppl per overflow limit lower.

They should spread out the population across all racial cities. It would have been so much better.

It’s shameful really. I don’t understand how Arenanet’s testers can say this is “ready” for us to play. Seriously? I was in an overflow like many people, suffering disconnects and all. I waited, and waited, and waited just to see the event skip completely. Going to the Southsun Shoal area was even worse: lag, invisible enemies, invisible friends, etc, etc, etc. I know I will not be attenting any more of these OH SO EXCLUSIVE 1 time events. It’s really, really low and unconsiderate, especially for the great majority like me who had to bear with the kitteny servers and kitteny lag.

Define: Event skipped completely?
I waited and waited and waited for (over?) an hour, the event box suddenly said: Go talk to this guy to go to Southsun Cove, but we still waited, we had 10 people left in the whole overflow LA eventually, the event just started and we still completed it with the 10 people.

The funny thing is that they’ve spend so much time polishing the rest of the cities, making them the most beautiful you can ever find in an MMO, and then they made them insignificant by adding the mystic forge, 3 jumping puzzles, portals to everywhere, all 1-time events and recently the ultimate end-game dungeon, all to LA!

Why did they even bothered with the other Cities?!
I pitty the poor NPC standing in Divinity’s Reach minigames!

If they are going to insist on one-time events, here’s how I think they should work:

1) Make these thing last at least a week.

2) Have a place where people can go to go to a different instance of the zone that is for that event, kind of like how the personal story works, but allowing many people to join the same one.

3) Once a character has completed that instance, they are done with it, and can move onto the next part, if there is another part.

So, basically make them more like how the personal story works, except let many people join. Maybe have a brief timer to join to ensure that everyone starts a particular instance at the same time.
