Guild Wars 2

Some of us have bad latency (a good ping for me in guild wars 1 was 250, my average was 300-400 range, I am going to guess my ping is the same in guild wars 2), so once I end up in the water I tend to stay there for a long, long, long time due to jumps and dodges not registering with the server at the right time, and at times I will just give up and restart the level since it is faster. It would be nicer if I could just die and go back to the checkpoint.

I didn’t mind how the levels were before you made they easier; I could still make those jumps with the right timing even with a bad ping, but now if I make one mistake and fall into the rapids it is usally faster for me to restart the level.

So please make the rapids do damage again. As I write this I am waiting for my toon to be pushed down the down the river to die, she is still not there yet.

You can jump out of the rapids and in trib mode I use this after the rafting part to get to other side. You can use it to your advantage, I would not recommend them to instant kill, that would make it a lot harder.

I know you can jump out, but have you tried to do that with a bad ping, the server will make you go all over the place. I am guessing you didn’t read this bit “due to jumps and dodges not registering with the server at the right time”

I know exactly what you mean. Before the nerf this wasn’t as bad of a problem but it can be very difficult to get out of the water when your ping is bad.

That said, there is no way they’re going to make the rapids section as tense as it used to be by bringing back damage. The uproar isn’t worth it.

I feel bad about making this topic now after reading Joshs blog post. I was just very frustrated at the time when I wrote it. Don’t bring back the damage if it gets more people to play.

Keep up the great work Josh; your work is awesome, and when I finish it I always feel a lot of pride from being able to complete it (I will never forget how happy I was when I finished the mad king clocktower). SAB TM has been great and has given me a week with a ton of enjoyment (it is best with other people in the party to laugh at/with). I think most people would agree that your form posts have been great, and the way you explained the design philosophies behind Tribulation mode was a good read.
