Guild Wars 2

Personally I love this content, I know others don’t, but I do.

The only things broken about it are guesting, overflows, and afk’s. Everything else is perfect. No wait – I also forgot the lag and d/c problem for some everytime the event starts up. Unfortunately the problem parts make it unplayable for me, I’m one of the lucky ones who gets d/c’d every time the dragon lands.

Does ANET have any intention of addressing these issues?

I got all excited a few minutes ago, I finally got into my home server! Yay!

Only to discover there were no people there. None at all. But it didn’t take long to realise it was in the process of d/c’ing me, which happened about 5 minutes later.

Sigh…

I doubt it will get fixed, this event will eventually go the way of the Karka Queen.

You’re probably right. ANET is a business, they aren’t going to fund servers to manage the peak load that happens at these events as the events are occasional. But it also means

1) They haven’t designed their load balancing right – the number of people doesn’t change, only where they are concentratted

2) The people who design the events are ignoring the fact the hardware can’t cope with the load

Dear Posters,

I am afraid to tell you that as most things have happened, it seems the only fix is time, as time goes on, they will see if they need to fix or adjust it, they are waiting to see how it plays out. As a customer of this developer, I can offer you a single remedy, patience. This a great learning experience for the Mega Boss team of what not to do clearly.

There is no way to fix AFKers/Griefers that wont also effect legitamate players. Overflows are for the impatient willing to gamble, its a fix for Queues, would you rather have a 12 hour Qeue, or a 1% chance your overflow can pull their kittens together while waiting for your Live Server.

Guesting can also work in your favor, when you take the attitude that all servers are my friends, load over their, log their servers teamspeak, organize and succeed. Guesting only effects WVW, which you cant be part of if its not your home server anyways.

The real problem is time.

All I know is I can never get into my home server to play the battle. I get in overflow every time. Players are camped in the zone for hours and never leave. I don’t know if the problem is guesting or just too many players wanting to do the content.

Same here and still not managed to kill teq.

Always in overflow with afkers and leechers.

Been doing it 2-4 times a day with no success, good job ArenaNet.
