Guild Wars 2

Our guild has been doing our best to cope with megaservers and guild missions since April 15th. Complaints about this issue is not new as can be seen in the threads before mine. But something changed tonight where it seemed like every zone we were in had a high concentration of players.

Every single mission required us to port members over.

Every mission had us attempting to work with multiple guilds but lacking the tools to really get it done.

Guild Puzzle had 5 guilds running through at the same time in a massive zerg. The level of cooperation between guilds decrease as the number of guilds involved increase. I’ve never felt zerg lag in a guild puzzle prior to this.

We’ve run missions on every reset since our guild was founded but never saw such a high concentration of other players before tonight. I guess I post this feedback hoping that someone tweaked a setting that could possibly be re-examined and maybe pushed the other way.

Hmmm…. Sorry for the double post. Link below is the reason why I may be seeing lag where I hadn’t before.

While I did not experience the same degree of lag, I can definitely speak to the decreased level of cooperation. What we observed was diminishing returns, as numerous people from guilds running the same puzzle were left behind and too few communicated enough to ameliorate the problem. My worst megaserver experience so far, for sure.

We just got done doing guild missions and it cost us in terms of completion and rewards for some. We can’t get people to the same maps fast enough with some bounties like Mayana who spawn when you kick a tree and such. I’m also one of those nerdy grief deserving Role Players in tarnished Coast and the influx of griefers has made it a lot less fun to do anything in open areas, unless you count watching them sit there for 45 minutes pressing 1 while we go about our business.

Having never looked positively on the outlook of mega servers since Anet made the announcement, I am growing to hate it more and more. And more. Its hurting every part of the game I enjoy and making it less fun.
