I sincerely hope that with them merging all of these threads, that Anet read through them all because there are a lot of good ideas by various players now buried by said merges, which they could investigate and use.

As a suggestion, if you have an idea or concern you wish to address from the recent event, please post here but also check if it has been mentioned before. I’ll try to keep track of this over the next hour or so and edit this top post with suggestions made. Might reserve a couple of spots too. I’ll start with a couple of things I have already seen.

Please refrain from just simply complaining and not contributing. There are plenty of other threads for doing that.

Suggestions for improvement:

Have the event happen on Saturday (US time), so it’s only Sunday for other people, not Monday.
Run the event over 24 hours, repeating the same as GW1.
If the above makes farming a worry, limit to one chest open per account, not character.
Limit the size of overflow servers when an event is running to 50-100 people, and scale it accordingly instead of relying on numbers to win through.

Issues mentioned:

Quite a few problems with NPC enemies. This amounts to them being OP, able to kill in one/two hits, and there being so much server traffic they have not loaded and you can’t see them, so can’t target them. No XP or loot from them was also mentioned, I have to take this on faith as I never got a chance to try the event. This meant everything rested on the final boss/chest, which while was quite worthy, also meant problems for those who lost connection, server crash, whatever and could not get back in, and therefore miss out after a couple of hours of fighting.

And on a side note, this being a trial weekend I presume was to show off such an elaborate and brilliant way to create a new area for new people. This was a fantastic idea, but the execution will not have endeared many new people to the game.

Hi,

We are keeping all feedbacks in one merged thread in order to make them easier to read for our developers. Posting feedbacks about the same content in different threads makes it harder for our developer to read as they will have to find out all the appropriated threads before being able to have a complete overview of what the community thinks.

Be sure that all feedbacks are read and forwarded, so I would recommend you to post your suggestions of improvement in the appropriate thread.

Thank you for your help!
